B. In the event there is no recovery available to the Insured as a result of the insolvency of any Underlying Insurer or the Insured’s failure to comply with the maintenance of any Underlying Insurance, the coverage hereunder shall apply as excess of the amount of all Underlying Insurance plus the amount of any applicable deductible to the same extent as if the Underlying Insurance were maintained in full force and effect.

 

C. If the coverage and provisions of the Bond or Policy identified in Item 8. of the Declarations are altered, the Insured shall, as soon as practicable, give the Underwriter written notice of such alteration(s); and upon receipt of written consent to such alteration(s) from the Underwriter, the Insured shall pay any additional premium required by the Underwriter.

D. Except as provided in Sections 2.D. and 2.E. below, in no event shall the Underwriter be liable to pay loss under this Excess Follow Form until the total amount of the Underlying Single Loss Limit of Liability as stated in Item 6. of the Declarations has been exhausted solely by reason of the payment of loss by the Underlying Insurer(s) as covered loss under the applicable Underlying Insurance.

 

E. Any claim, loss or coverage that is subject to a Sublimit in any Underlying Insurance shall not be considered covered loss under this Excess Follow Form, but shall, for purposes of this Excess Follow Form, reduce or exhaust the Underlying Limit of Liability to the extent such payment reduces or exhausts the aggregate limit(s) of liability of such Underlying Insurance.

Section 2. Limit of Liability

 

A. Payment by the Underwriter of loss covered under this Excess Follow Form shall reduce the Aggregate Limit of Liability of this Excess Follow Form set forth in Item 4. of the Declarations.

Also, the Underwriter’s maximum liability for all loss(es) in the aggregate covered under this Excess Follow Form shall not exceed the amount of the Aggregate Limit of Liability stated in Item 4. of the Declarations, which shall be the maximum liability of the Underwriter in the Excess Follow Form Period stated in Item 2. of the Declarations.

 

C. Except as provided in Sections 2.D. and 2.E. below, the Underwriter shall only be liable to make payment for a Single Loss covered under this Excess Follow Form after the total amount of the Underlying Single Loss Limit of Liability as stated in Item 6. of the Declarations has been paid solely by reason of the payment of loss by the Underlying Insurer(s) as covered loss under the applicable Underlying Insurance.

(A) of the Declarations, such amount not to exceed the Single Loss Limit of Liability stated in Item 3. of the Declarations and subject always to the remaining Aggregate Limit of Liability of this Excess Follow Form.

HOW TO REPORT LOSSES, CLAIMS, OR POTENTIAL CLAIMS TO TRAVELERS

Reporting new losses, claims, or potential claims promptly can be critical. It helps to resolve covered losses or claims as quickly as possible and often reduces the overall cost. Prompt reporting:

‘ better protects the interests of all parties;

‘ helps Travelers to try to resolve losses or claims more quickly; and


‘ often reduces the overall cost of a loss or claim—losses or claims reported more than five days after they happen cost on average 35% more than those reported earlier.

Report losses, claims, or potential claims to Travelers easily and quickly by fax, U S mail, or email.

FAX

Use this number to report a loss, claim, or potential claim by fax toll free.

E. Any claim, loss or coverage that is subject to a Sublimit in any Underlying Insurance shall not be considered covered loss under this Excess Follow Form, but shall, for purposes of this Excess Follow Form, reduce or exhaust the Underlying Limit of Liability to the extent such payment reduces or exhausts the aggregate limit(s) of liability of such Underlying Insurance.

FOLLOW FORM EXCESS CRIME INSURANCE POLICY

(WITH DROPDOWN)

 

A. In consideration of the payment of the premium, in reliance upon the statements and information you furnished us and subject to the provisions, terms and conditions contained in the primary policy, as in effect on the inception date of this policy, the United Fire Insurance Company (referenced throughout the policy as “we”, “us” and “our) agrees with the Insured,

PIMCO FUNDS

840 Newport Beach Center Drive

Newport Beach, CA 92660

(more fully set forth in the primary policy and referenced throughout this policy as “you” and “your”), to pay you, up to our Limit of Insurance, for loss which is insured under the primary policy but exceeds the lesser of:

 

  1. The per loss Limits of Insurance under the primary policy together with other underlying insurance, as stated in G., below, or

 

  2. The remaining aggregate Limits of Insurance available under the primary policy together with other underlying insurance, as stated in G., below, after any reduction of such aggregate limits solely by the payment of valid prior losses under such policies.

 

B. However, with respect to the Limit of Insurance available under this policy together with all underlying insurance:

 

  1. If a per loss Sub-Limit of Insurance applies to a loss under the underlying insurance that is lower than the sum of the largest stated per loss Limits of Insurance set forth in G., below, for all underlying insurance, this policy will not serve to increase the per loss Limit of Insurance available with respect to such loss beyond that stated Sub-Limit.

 

  2. If any loss is subject to a lower aggregate Sub-Limit of Insurance (including any reinstatements) than the sum of stated aggregate Limits of Insurance (plus any reinstatements) set forth in G., below, for all underlying insurance, this policy will not serve to increase the aggregate Limit of Insurance available with respect to such loss beyond the amount of the aggregate Sub-Limit so stated.

 

  3. If any loss subject to a lower Sub-Limit of Insurance, either per loss or in the aggregate, is also subject to a separate aggregate Limit of Insurance under the underlying insurance, this policy will not cover such loss under any circumstances.

 

C. Subject to the foregoing:

 

  1. We will pay only the amount of such loss that is in excess of the applicable Limits of Insurance of all underlying insurance plus any applicable deductible set forth under the primary policy. The payment of claims under the underlying insurance shall include the payment of covered court costs and attorneys’ fees to the extent they erode the aggregate Limits of Insurance under such policies.

 

  2. In the event of a partial erosion of the available aggregate Limit of Insurance under the underlying insurance solely by the payment of valid claims under such policies, this policy will drop down and restore the aggregate Limit of Insurance to the extent of such erosion, subject always to the Limits of Insurance of this policy. In the event that the underlying insurance is entirely exhausted solely by the payment of valid claims under such policies, this policy will drop down and become primary insurance subject to the remaining Limit of Insurance of this policy and to all the applicable other terms, conditions and deductibles of the primary policy.


D. You retain the risk that any underlying insurance is uncollectible (in whole or in part) whether from the financial impairment or insolvency of the underwriter or from any other cause. Under no circumstances will your inability to collect underlying insurance increase our liability under this policy.

 

E. Any changes to the primary policy that would have the effect of increasing our liability or decreasing our attachment point under this policy (except those resulting solely from valid claims payments duly made under those policies) will not be binding on us until we have agreed in writing to accept them.

 

F. This policy is effective from 12:01 a.m. on July 1, 2007 until 12:01 a.m. on July 1, 2008 (both times local time at your address shown above), unless terminated earlier in accordance with the termination or cancellation provisions of the primary policy.

 

G. The primary policy is: National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. Bond #6214332 with a per loss limit of $25,000,000.

Underlying insurance is the primary policy and the following policies written in excess of it:

 

   

Federal Insurance Company (Chubb Group of Companies) Bond # FS 559-46-74 with a per loss limit of $25,000,000 excess primary policy.

 

   

Continental Insurance Company Bond # 267860356 with a per loss limit of $15,000,000 excess $50,000,000.

 

   

St. Paul Mercury Insurance Group (St. Paul Travelers) Bond #490PB1625 with a per loss limit of $25,000,000 excess $65,000,000.

 

H. Our Limit of Insurance, at inception, is $10,000,000 any one loss.

 

I. Notwithstanding Sections B. and C., above, this policy only covers loss that falls under Insuring Clause 1. (A. or B.) of the primary policy. However erosion of the underlying aggregate limit of insurance by losses under other Insuring Clauses of the primary policy will be recognized hereunder for the purposes of determining the remaining aggregate underlying limit.

In witness of this, we have caused this policy to be signed below by our President and Secretary.

If no market price is quoted for such Property or for such privileges, the value shall be fixed by agreement between the parties or by arbitration.

In case of any loss or damage to Property consisting of books of accounts or other records used by the Insured in the conduct of its business, the Underwriter shall be liable under this bond only if such books or records are actually reproduced and then for not more than the cost of blank books, blank pages or other materials plus the cost of labor for the actual transcription or copying of data which shall have been furnished by the Insured in order to reproduce such books and other records.

The Underwriter may, at its election, pay such actual cash value or make such replacement or repair. If the Underwriter and the Insured cannot agree upon such cash value or such cost of replacement or repair, such shall be determined by arbitration.

SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES

If the Insured shall sustain a loss of securities the total value of which is in excess of the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond, the liability of the Underwriter shall be limited to payment for, or duplication of, securities having value equal to the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond.

If the Underwriter shall make payment to the Insured for any loss of securities, the Insured shall thereupon assign to the Underwriter all of the Insured’s rights, title and interests in and to said securities.

With respect to securities the value of which do not exceed the Deductible Amount (at the time of the discovery of the loss) and for which the Underwriter may at its sole discretion and option and at the request of the Insured issue a Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect replacement thereof, the Insured will pay the usual premium charged therefor and will indemnify the Underwriter against all loss or expense that the Underwriter may sustain because of the issuance of such Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds.

With respect to securities the value of which exceeds the Deductible Amount (at the time of discovery of the loss) and for which the Underwriter may issue or arrange for the issuance of a Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect replacement thereof, the Insured agrees that it will pay as premium therefor a proportion of the usual premium charged therefor, said proportion being equal to the percentage that the Deductible Amount bears to the value of the securities upon discovery of the loss, and that it will indemnify the issuer of said Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds against all loss and expense that is not recoverable from the Underwriter under the terms and conditions of this INVESTMENT COMPANY BLANKET BOND subject to the Limit of Liability hereunder.

source other than suretyship, insurance, reinsurance, security or indemnity taken by or for the benefit of the Underwriter, the net amount of such recovery, less the actual costs and expenses of making same, shall be applied to reimburse the Insured in full for the excess portion of such loss, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid first in reimbursement of the Underwriter and thereafter in reimbursement of the Insured for that part of such loss within the Deductible Amount. The Insured shall execute all necessary papers to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided for herein.

SECTION 9. NON-REDUCTION AND NON- ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY

At all times prior to termination hereof this bond shall continue in force for the limit stated in the applicable sections of Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond notwithstanding any previous loss for which the Underwriter may have paid or be liable to pay hereunder; PROVIDED, however, that regardless of the number of years this bond shall continue in force and the number of premiums which shall be payable or paid, the liability of the Underwriter under this bond with respect to all loss resulting from

 

  (a) any one act of burglary, robbery or holdup, or attempt thereat, in which no Partner or Employee is concerned or implicated shall be deemed to be one loss, or

 

  (b) any one unintentional or negligent act on the part of any one person resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement of Property, shall be deemed to be one loss, or

 

  (c) all wrongful acts, other than those specified in (a) above, of any one person shall be deemed to be one loss, or

 

  (d) all wrongful acts, other than those specified in (a) above, of one or more persons (which dishonest act(s) or act(s) of Larceny or Embezzlement include, but are not limited to, the failure of an Employee to report such acts of others) whose dishonest act or acts intentionally or unintentionally, knowingly or unknowingly, directly or indirectly, aid or aids in any way, or permits the continuation of, the dishonest act or acts of any other person or persons shall be deemed to be one loss with the act or acts of the persons aided, or

 

  (e) any one casualty or event other than those specified in (a), (b), (c) or (d) preceding, shall be deemed to be one loss, and

shall be limited to the applicable Limit of Liability stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond irrespective of the total amount of such loss or losses and shall not be cumulative in amounts from year to year or from period to period.

Sub-section (c) is not applicable to any situation to which the language of sub-section (d) applies.

SECTION 10. LIMIT OF LIABILITY

With respect to any loss set forth in the PROVIDED clause of Section 9 of this bond which is recoverable or recovered in whole or in part under any other bonds or policies issued by the Underwriter to the Insured or to any predecessor in interest of the Insured and terminated or cancelled or allowed to expire and in which the period for discovery has not expired at the time any such loss thereunder is discovered, the total liability of the Underwriter under this bond and under other bonds or policies shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the amount carried hereunder on such loss or the amount available to the Insured under such other bonds or policies, as limited by the terms and conditions thereof, for any such loss if the latter amount be the larger.

SECTION 11. OTHER INSURANCE

If the Insured shall hold, as indemnity against any loss covered hereunder, any valid and enforceable insurance or suretyship, the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for such amount of such loss which is in excess of the amount of such other insurance or suretyship, not exceeding, however, the Limit of Liability of this bond applicable to such loss.

SECTION 12. DEDUCTIBLE

The Underwriter shall not be liable under any of the Insuring Agreements of this bond on account of loss as specified, respectively, in sub-sections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 9, NON-REDUCTION AND NON- ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND

 

10


TOTAL LIABILITY, unless the amount of such loss, after deducting the net amount of all reimbursement and/or recovery obtained or made by the Insured, other than from any bond or policy of insurance issued by an insurance company and covering such loss, or by the Underwriter on account thereof prior to payment by the Underwriter of such loss, shall exceed the Deductible Amount set forth in Item 3 of the Declarations hereof (herein called Deductible Amount) and then for such excess only, but in no event for more than the applicable Limit of Liability stated in Item 3 of the Declarations.

The Insured will bear, in addition to the Deductible Amount, premiums on Lost Instrument Bonds as set forth in Section 7.

There shall be no deductible applicable to any loss under Insuring Agreement A sustained by any Investment Company named as Insured herein.

SECTION 13. TERMINATION

The Underwriter may terminate this bond as an entirety by furnishing written notice specifying the termination date which cannot be prior to 60 days after the receipt of such written notice by each Investment Company named as Insured and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. The Insured may terminate this bond as an entirety by furnishing written notice to the Underwriter. When the Insured cancels, the Insured shall furnish written notice to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington. D.C. prior to 60 days before the effective date of the termination. The Underwriter shall notify all other Investment Companies named as Insured of the receipt of such termination notice and the termination cannot be effective prior to 60 days after receipt of written notice by all other Investment Companies. Premiums are earned until the termination date as set forth herein.

This Bond will terminate as to any one Insured immediately upon taking over of such Insured by a receiver or other liquidator or by State or Federal officials, or immediately upon the filing of a petition under any State or Federal statute relative to bankruptcy or reorganization of the Insured, or assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Insured. or immediately upon such Insured ceasing to exist, whether through merger into another entity, or by disposition of all of its assets.

The Underwriter shall refund the unearned premium computed at short rates in accordance with the standard short rate cancellation tables if terminated by the Insured or pro rata if terminated for any other reason.

This Bond shall terminate

 

  (a) as to any Employee as soon as any partner, officer or supervisory Employee of the Insured, who is not in collusion with such Employee, shall learn of any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement on the part of such Employee without prejudice to the loss of any Property then in transit in the custody of such Employee (See Section 16[d]), or

 

  (b) as to any Employee 60 days after receipt by each Insured and by the Securities and Exchange Commission of a written notice from the Underwriter of its desire to terminate this bond as to such Employee, or

 

  (c) as to any person, who is a partner, officer or employee of any Electronic Data Processor covered under this bond, from and after the time that the Insured or any partner or officer thereof not in collusion with such person shall have knowledge or information that such person has committed any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement in the service of the Insured or otherwise, whether such act be committed before or after the time this bond is effective.

SECTION 14. RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION

At any time prior to the termination or cancellation of this bond as an entirety, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, the Insured may give to the Underwriter notice that it desires under this bond an additional period of 12 months within which to discover loss sustained by the Insured prior to the effective date of such termination or cancellation and shall pay an additional premium therefor.

 

11


Upon receipt of such notice from the Insured, the Underwriter shall give its written consent thereto; provided, however, that such additional period of time shall terminate immediately;

 

  (a) on the effective date of any other insurance obtained by the Insured, its successor in business or any other party, replacing in whole or in part the insurance afforded by this bond, whether or not such other insurance provides coverage for loss sustained prior to its effective date, or

 

  (b) upon takeover of the Insured’s business by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, acting or appointed for this purpose

without the necessity of the Underwriter giving notice of such termination. In the event that such additional period of time is terminated, as provided above, the Underwriter shall refund any unearned premium.

The right to purchase such additional period for the discovery of loss may not be exercised by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, acting or appointed to take over the Insured’s business for the operation or for the liquidation thereof or for any other purpose.

SECTION 15. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES

Securities included in the systems for the central handling of securities established and maintained by Depository Trust Company, Midwest Depository Trust Company, Pacific Securities Depository Trust Company, and Philadelphia Depository Trust Company, hereinafter called Corporations, to the extent of the Insured’s interest therein as effective by the making of appropriate entries on the books and records of such Corporations shall be deemed to be Property.

The words “Employee” and “Employees” shall be deemed to include the officers, partners, clerks and other employees of the New York Stock Exchange, Boston Stock Exchange, Midwest Stock Exchange, Pacific Stock Ex- change and Philadelphia Stock Exchange, hereinafter called Exchanges, and of the above named Corporations, and of any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the systems for the central handling of securities established and maintained by such Corporations, and any employee of any recognized service company, while such officers, partners, clerks and other employees and employees of service companies perform services for such Corporations in the operation of such systems. For the purpose of the above definition a recognized service company shall be any company providing clerks or other personnel to said Exchanges or Corporation on a contract basis.

The Underwriter shall not be liable on account of any loss(es) in connection with the central handling of securities within the systems established and maintained by such Corporations, unless such loss(es) shall be in excess of the amount(s) recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy of insurance indemnifying such Corporations, against such loss(es), and then the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the Insured’s share of such excess loss(es), but in no event for more than the Limit of Liability applicable hereunder.

For the purpose of determining the Insured’s share of excess loss(es) it shall be deemed that the Insured has an interest in any certificate representing any security included within such systems equivalent to the interest the Insured then has in all certificates representing the same security included within such systems and that such Corporations shall use their best judgement in apportioning the amount(s) recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy of insurance indemnifying such Corporations against such loss(es) in connection with the central handling of securities within such systems among all those having an interest as recorded by appropriate entries in the books and records of such Corporations in Property involved in such loss(es) on the basis that each such interest shall share in the amount(s) so recoverable or recovered in the ratio that the value of each such interest bears to the total value of all such interests and that the Insured’s share of such excess loss(es) shall be the amount of the Insured’s interest in such Property in excess of the amount(s) so apportioned to the Insured by such Corporations.

This bond does not afford coverage in favor of such Corporations or Exchanges or any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the systems for the central handling of securities established and maintained by such Corporations, and upon payment to the Insured by the Underwriter on account of any loss(es) within the systems, an

 

12


assignment of such of the Insured’s rights and causes of action as it may have against such Corporations or Exchanges shall to the extent of such payment, be given by the Insured to the Underwriter, and the Insured shall execute all papers necessary to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided for herein.

SECTION 16. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED

If more than one corporation, co-partnership or person or any combination of them be included as the Insured herein:

 

  (a) the total liability of the Underwriter hereunder for loss or losses sustained by any one or more or all of them shall not exceed the limit for which the Underwriter would be liable hereunder if all such loss were sustained by any one of them,

 

  (b) the one first named herein shall be deemed authorized to make, adjust and receive and enforce payment of all claims hereunder and shall be deemed to be the agent of the others for such purposes and for the giving or receiving of any notice required or permitted to be given by the terms hereof, provided that the Underwriter shall furnish each named Investment Company with a copy of the bond and with any amendment thereto, together with a copy of each formal filing of the settlement of each such claim prior to the execution of such settlement,

 

  (c) the Underwriter shall not be responsible for the proper application of any payment made hereunder to said first named Insured,

 

  (d) knowledge possessed or discovery made by any partner, officer or supervisory Employee of any Insured shall for the purposes of Section 4 and Section 13 of this bond constitute knowledge or discovery by all the Insured, and

 

  (e) if the first named Insured ceases for any reason to be covered under this bond, then the Insured next named shall thereafter be considered as the first named Insured for the purposes of this bond.

SECTION 17. NOTICE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL

Upon the Insured’s obtaining knowledge of a transfer of its outstanding voting securities which results in a change in control (as set forth in Section 2(a) (9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Insured, the Insured shall within thirty (30) days of such knowledge give written notice to the Underwriter setting forth:

 

  (a) the names of the transferors and transferees (or the names of the beneficial owners if the voting securities are requested in another name), and

 

  (b) the total number of voting securities owned by the transferors and the transferees (or the beneficial owners), both immediately before and after the transfer, and

 

  (c) the total number of outstanding voting securities.

As used in this section, control means the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of the Insured.

Failure to give the required notice shall result in termination of coverage of this bond, effective upon the date of stock transfer for any loss in which any transferee is concerned or implicated.

Such notice is not required to be given in the case of an Insured which is an Investment Company.

SECTION 18. CHANGE OR MODIFICATION

This bond or any instrument amending or effecting same may not be changed or modified orally. No changes in or modification thereof shall be effective unless made by written endorsement issued to form a part hereof over the signature of the Underwriter’s Authorized Representative. When a bond covers only one Investment Company no change or modification which would adversely affect the rights of the Investment Company shall be effective prior to 60 days after written notification has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. by the Insured or by the

 

13


Underwriter. If more than one Investment Company is named as the Insured herein, the Underwriter shall give written notice to each Investment Company and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. not less than 60 days prior to the effective date of any change or modification which would adversely affect the rights of such Investment Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Underwriter has caused this bond to be executed on the Declarations Page.

AGREEMENT AMONG JOINT INSUREDS

THIS AGREEMENT made as of July 1, 2007 by and between PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PCM Fund, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (each a “Trust”), on behalf of each Trust’s respective series of shares (the “Funds”).

WHEREAS, each of the Trusts and Funds have investment advisers which are affiliates of each other (each such firm, and any other advisory firm that is an affiliate of such firms, an “Affiliated Manager”)

WHEREAS, the Trusts and Funds are named as insureds under a joint Investment Company Blanket Bond (the “Bond”) issued by National Union Fire Insurance Company; Federal Insurance Company; Continental Casualty Company; Travelers; and United States Fire Insurance Company (collectively, the “Insurers”);

WHEREAS, the Trusts desire to establish (i) the basis on which additional investment companies for which an Affiliated Manager may hereafter act as investment adviser may be added as named insureds under the Bond, and (ii) the criteria by which recoveries under the Bond shall be allocated among the parties;

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1. If the Insurers are willing without additional premium to add, as an insured under the Bond, any investment company, not listed at the head of this agreement for which an Affiliated Manager hereafter is investment adviser, which may be included in the Bond pursuant to Rule 17g-1(b) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Act”), the Trusts agree (a) that such addition may be made, provided that those trustees of each Trust who are not “interested persons” of such Trust shall approve
