Each of the Funds has adopted a managed distribution plan (the "Plan") to support a level monthly distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital, or in the case of BCAT and ECAT a monthly distribution based on an annual rate of 20% of the Fund's 12-month rolling average daily net asset value calculated 5 business days prior to declaration date of each distribution. The fixed amounts distributed per share or distribution rate, as applicable, are subject to change at the discretion of each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. Under its Plan, each Fund will distribute all available net income to its shareholders, consistent with its investment objectives and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). If sufficient income (inclusive of net investment income and short-term capital gains) is not available on a monthly basis, the Funds will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return capital to their shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution.
