The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of these distributions will depend upon the Trust’s investment experience during its fiscal year and will be made after the Trust’s year end and will be reported on IRS Form 1099-Div.

Mr. Bock’s resignation is not a result of any disagreement with the Trust on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices, or to any issues regarding its accounting policies or practices.
