* Please note that the distributions paid by the fund to shareholders are
subject to recharacterization for tax purposes. The final tax treatment
of these distributions is reported to shareholders on their 1099-DIV
forms, which are mailed to shareholders after the close of each fiscal
year. In addition, the fund may pay distributions in excess of the
fund's net investment company taxable income and this excess will be a
tax-free return of capital distributed from the fund's assets.
Distributions of capital decrease the fund's total assets and,
therefore, could have the effect of increasing the fund's expense ratio.
In addition, in order to make these distributions, the fund may have to
sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time. Information
concerning the estimated composition of each fund distribution is
available at cohenandsteers.com.
