This press release contains forward-looking information. The
forward-looking information contained in this press release is
based on historical information concerning distributions and
dividends paid on the securities of issuers historically included
in the portfolio of the Fund. Actual future results, including the
amount of distributions paid by the Fund, may differ from the
monthly distribution amount. Specifically, the income from which
distributions are paid may vary significantly due to: changes in
portfolio composition; changes in distributions and dividends paid
by issuers of securities included in the Fund's portfolio from time
to time; there being no assurance that those issuers will pay
distributions or dividends on their securities; the
declaration of distributions and dividends by issuers of securities
included in the portfolio will generally depend upon various
factors, including the financial condition of each issuer and
general economic and stock market conditions; the level of
borrowing by the Fund; and the uncertainty of realizing
capital gains. The risks, uncertainties and other factors
that could influence actual results are described under "Risk
Factors" in the Fund's prospectus dated March 12, 2014 and other documents filed by the
Fund with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities.
The forward-looking information contained in this press release
constitutes the Fund's current estimate, as of the date of this
press release, with respect to the matters covered hereby.
Investors and others should not assume that any forward-looking
statement contained in this press release represents the Fund's
estimate as of any date other than the date of this press
release.
