    a Please see table below for each Fund's estimated source of distributions.

    Under the terms of each Fund's managed distribution policy, each Fund seeks to maintain a consistent distribution level derived from the income and capital gains generated from the Fund's investment portfolio. To the extent that sufficient distributable income is not available on a monthly basis, each Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in order to maintain its managed distribution rate. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that was invested in the Fund is paid back to shareholders. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income". Even though the Fund may realize current year capital gains, such gains may be offset, in whole or in part, by the Fund's capital loss carryovers from prior years. The Board of Directors may modify, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time. Any such modification, termination or suspension could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's shares.

    Based on the Funds' tax accounting records, which also factor in currency fluctuations, each Fund's estimated source of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions is presented in the table below:

    1. Sources of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions are estimated through February 29, 2024.
    2. Sources of cumulative fiscal year-to-date distributions are estimated through December 31, 2023. The sources of distributions for the two months ended February 29, 2024 are estimated to be 69.27% from income and 30.73% from return of capital.

    The updated estimated components of the distributions announced today will be provided to shareholders of record in a separate notice when the distributions are paid.

    Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about each Fund's investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of each Fund's managed distribution policy. The amounts and sources of each Fund's distributions to be reported will be estimates and will not be provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon each Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Each Fund will send a Form 1099-DIV to shareholders for the calendar year that will describe how to report the Fund's distributions for federal income tax purposes.
