THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” ALL PROPOSALS

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT: 9:30AM & 11:30AM – CLOSED-END FUNDS (THE “FUNDS”)

What is happening?

The Board and PIMCO are recommending that Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (or “PIMCO”), the Funds’ current sub-adviser, replace Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (or “AGIFM”) as the investment manager of each Fund pursuant to a proposed new investment management agreement between the Fund and PIMCO (which I will refer to as the “Proposed Agreement”).

Who will handle the day-to-day management of my fund?

Under the Proposed Agreement, PIMCO would continue to provide the day-to-day portfolio management services it currently provides to each Fund as its sub-adviser and would also assume responsibility for the supervisory and administrative services currently provided by AGIFM to each Fund as its investment manager. The same investment professionals who are currently responsible for managing the Fund’s portfolio will continue to do so following the proposed transition, and PIMCO personnel will replace AGIFM personnel as Fund officers and in other roles to provide and/or oversee the administrative, accounting/financial reporting, compliance, legal, marketing, transfer agency, shareholder servicing and other services required for the daily operations of the Fund.

Will the investment objectives, strategies or policies of my Fund change as a result of the transition?

No. The Funds are expected to have the same investment objectives and strategies before and after the proposed transition with no anticipated changes to their respective investment programs.

Will the Funds have the same Board and officers?

The same Board will oversee the Funds before and after the transition, except that that Craig A. Dawson, a Managing Director and Head of Strategic Business Management of PIMCO, is being proposed to join the Board following the transition. The Funds are also proposing to have a different slate of officers, with PIMCO personnel replacing their counterparts from AGIFM.

Will the names or ticker symbols of the Funds change?

No, they will stay the same.

Why are the Board and PIMCO recommending this change in the Funds’ management structure at this time?

AGIFM and PIMCO are affiliates that are part of the global asset management business of Allianz SE; each is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. Effective January 1, 2012, Allianz SE reorganized its asset management business under Allianz Asset Management of America

 

 

 

Not to be distributed to the public

  Page 2


L.P. to give better visibility to its two main brands, PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors, and to better enable each asset management business to serve its clients worldwide. Allianz developed this new approach in an effort to move away from a family of boutiques model to a clear “two pillar” structure (i.e., with Allianz Global Investors and PIMCO as the two pillars).

While AGIFM has served the Funds well for many years, the proposal to replace AGIFM with PIMCO as the Funds’ investment manager and assume responsibility for supervisory and administrative services for the Funds is a natural next step in the broader PIMCO/Allianz Global Investors reorganization effort initiated in 2012. Following the proposed transition, PIMCO will assume sole management responsibility for the Funds and AGIFM will continue to serve as manager/administrator for numerous other closed- and open-end funds managed within the Allianz Global Investors pillar of the Allianz asset management business.

The Board and PIMCO also believe that the Proposal will benefit shareholders of each Fund.

What are the expected benefits to shareholders of moving to the new PIMCO-only management structure?

The Board and PIMCO believe that the Funds’ shareholders will benefit by moving to a PIMCO-only management structure. This is because PIMCO can offer the Funds an integrated set of high-quality investment management, administrative and distribution/aftermarket support services under a single platform, which the Board and PIMCO believe will allow for greater efficiencies and enhanced coordination among various investment management and administrative functions. The Board and PIMCO also believe that the change will facilitate clearer branding and marketing of the Funds and avoid potential confusion among intermediaries, analysts and investors as to whether the Funds are PIMCO and/or Allianz Global Investors products.

In connection with the proposed management transition, the Board and PIMCO are proposing that the Funds adopt a so-called “unified” management fee structure under which each Fund would pay PIMCO a management fee that covers the portfolio management and administrative services covered under the current investment management agreement, and PIMCO, at its expense, would be required to procure most other supervisory and administrative services required by the Funds that are currently paid for or incurred by the Funds directly outside of the current investment management agreements.

The Board and PIMCO believe that the proposed new “unified” fee structure will be beneficial for common shareholders of the Funds because it provides a unified management fee (including certain operating expenses) structure that is essentially fixed, making it more predictable under ordinary circumstances in comparison to the current fee and expense structure, under which the Funds’ operating expenses (including certain third-party fees and expenses) not covered by the current investment management agreements can vary over time. The proposed unified fee structure also generally insulates the Funds and their common shareholders from increases in applicable third-party and certain other expenses because PIMCO, rather than the Funds, would bear the risk of such increases (while at the same time PIMCO would benefit from any reductions in such expenses).

  Page 3


Will the fees and expenses charged by the funds to shareholders change or increase as a result of the proposal?

Because the proposed unified fee arrangement covers a greater amount of supervisory and administrative services and related costs than under the current investment management agreements, the proposed contractual management fee rates under the Proposed Agreement for each Fund are higher than the management fee rates currently imposed under the corresponding current investment management agreement (other than for PIMCO Dynamic Credit Income Fund (PCI) and PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund (PDI) whose management fees will be unchanged). However, PIMCO estimates that the proposed new arrangement will result in an overall savings to common shareholders of each Fund under ordinary circumstances because the proposed unified fee rates will be set at levels below each Fund’s existing management fees and total operating expenses for calendar year 2013.

The table below compares the effective management fee rates and total annual expense ratios for each Fund under the current investment management agreements for calendar year 2013 and estimates what they would have been under the Proposed Agreement for the same period, taking into account the effects of the Fund’s leverage outstanding for calendar year 2013 (unless otherwise noted).

  1.

Except in the case of PCI as noted in footnote 7 below, reflects each Fund’s actual management fees and total expenses during the calendar year ended December 31, 2013. The management fee rates and total expense ratios reflect that the management fee under the current investment management agreement was imposed, as applicable, on assets attributable to preferred shares and/or other forms of leverage outstanding during the period pursuant to the terms of the current investment management agreement for the particular Fund (as specified in the footnotes below).

  2.

Assumes that the Fund was subject to the Proposed Agreement (rather than its current investment management agreement) during the calendar year ended December 31, 2013 and incurred the same level of expenses that are not covered under the proposed unified fee (such as interest expense, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees/Directors and their counsel and any extraordinary expenses) during the period. The pro forma management fee rates and total expense ratios also assume that the unified fee under the Proposed Agreement was imposed, as applicable, on assets attributable to preferred shares and/or other forms of leverage outstanding during the period pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Agreement for the particular Fund (as specified in the footnotes below). These expenses are only estimates. The actual expenses could vary and could exceed the amounts shown and/or the amounts the Funds would have incurred under the current investment management agreements under certain circumstances.

  3.

Management fees calculated based on the Fund’s average daily net assets (including daily net assets attributable to any preferred shares of the Fund that may be outstanding).

  4.

Management fees calculated based on the Fund’s average daily “total managed assets,” which means the total assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to any reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, borrowings and preferred shares that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and borrowings).

  5.

Management fees calculated based on the Fund’s average daily “total managed assets,” which means the total assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to any preferred shares and borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings).

  6.

Management fees calculated based on the Fund’s average daily “total managed assets,” which means the total assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to any reverse repurchase agreements, borrowings and preferred shares that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing reverse repurchase agreements and borrowings).

  7.

Annualized. PCI commenced operations on January 31, 2013.

  8.

The total annual expense ratio in calendar year 2013 under the current investment management agreements and estimated pro forma total annual expense ratio under the Proposed Agreement reflects the interest expense on inverse floating rate investments deemed to be paid by the Fund for accounting purposes during its most recently completed fiscal year. The interest expenses from inverse floating rate investments incurred during calendar year 2013 may have been, and in the future may be, higher or lower.

  9.

Management fees calculated based on the Fund’s average weekly “total managed assets,” which means the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to any preferred shares or other forms of leverage of the Fund that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing leverage).

What is the impact on auction rate preferred shares (ARPS) shareholders?

ARPS shareholders of applicable Funds do not bear any portion of a Fund’s management fees or other expenses and therefore should not be impacted economically by the proposed new fee and expense structure.

Are Funds and PIMCO expected to realize efficiencies/savings following the transition, and, if so, will shareholders benefit from the savings?

PIMCO is expected to realize certain operational efficiencies and related savings following the transition as a result of managing all of the Funds under “one roof.” PIMCO estimates that the Proposed Agreement will result in an overall savings to common shareholders under ordinary circumstances, and the proposed unified fee rates are designed to allow the Funds and their common shareholders to share up front in such operational efficiencies and savings with respect to the Funds’ operating expenses as a result of the proposed transition.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT: 10:30AM – ALLIANZGI MANAGED ACCOUNTS TRUST (THE “TRUST” or “AGIMAT”) AND THE SERIES THEREOF (THE “PORTFOLIOS”)

What is happening?

The Board and PIMCO are recommending that Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (or “PIMCO”), the Portfolios’ current sub-adviser, replace Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (or “AGIFM”) as the investment adviser of each Portfolio pursuant to a proposed new investment advisory contract between the Trust, on behalf of each Portfolio, and PIMCO (which I will refer to as the “Proposed Advisory Agreement”). In addition, PIMCO will enter into a new Supervision and Administration Agreement with the Trust and begin providing supervisory and administrative services to the Portfolios, in replacement of AGIFM, which serves as the Trust’s current administrator. Shareholders are also being asked to elect or re-elect the current Trustees of the Trust and to elect Craig A. Dawson, a Managing Director and Head of Strategic Business Management of PIMCO, as a new interested Trustee of the Trust.

Who will handle the day-to-day management of my Portfolio?

Under the Proposed Advisory Agreement, PIMCO would continue to provide the day-to-day portfolio management services it currently provides to each Portfolio as its sub-adviser. The same investment professionals who are currently responsible for managing each Portfolio will continue to do so following the proposed transition and PIMCO personnel will replace AGIFM personnel as Trust officers and in other roles to provide and/or oversee the administrative, accounting/financial reporting, compliance, legal, transfer agency, shareholder servicing and other services required for the daily operations of the Portfolios.

Will any other changes be made to my Portfolio if the new Investment Advisory Contract is approved?

If the Proposed Advisory Contract is approved by shareholders of each Portfolio, the Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios, will enter into a new Distribution Contract with PIMCO Investments LLC (or “PIMCO Investments”), a U.S. registered broker-dealer affiliate of PIMCO, under which PIMCO Investments will provide the distribution services for the Portfolios that are currently provided by Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC, an affiliate of AGIFM. In addition, it is expected that, upon the effectiveness of the Proposed Advisory Contract, the Trust will change its name to PIMCO Managed Accounts Trust, although the names of the individual Portfolios will not change.

Will the investment objectives, strategies or policies of my Portfolio change as a result of the transition?

No. The Portfolios are expected to have the same investment objectives and strategies before and after the proposed transition with no anticipated changes to their respective investment programs.

Will the Portfolios have the same Board and officers?

The same Board will oversee the Portfolios before and after the transition, except that, subject to shareholder approval, Craig A. Dawson, a Managing Director and Head of Strategic Business Management of PIMCO, has been proposed to join the Board following the transition. The entire slate of the existing Trustees and Mr. Dawson are also proposed for election at the upcoming special meeting. The Portfolios are also proposing to have a different slate of officers, with PIMCO personnel replacing their counterparts from AGIFM.

Why are the Board and PIMCO recommending this change in the Portfolios’ management structure at this time?

AGIFM and PIMCO are affiliates that are part of the global asset management business of Allianz SE; each is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. Effective January 1, 2012, Allianz reorganized its asset management business under Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. to give better visibility to its two main brands, PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors, and to better enable each asset management business to serve its clients worldwide. Allianz developed this new approach in an effort to move away from a family of boutiques model to a clear “two pillar” structure (i.e., with Allianz Global Investors and PIMCO as the two pillars).

While AGIFM has served the Portfolios well for many years, the proposal to replace AGIFM with PIMCO as the Portfolios’ investment adviser and administrator, and for PIMCO Investments to serve as the Portfolios’ principal underwriter and distributor, is a natural next step in the broader PIMCO/Allianz Global Investors reorganization effort initiated in 2012. Following the proposed transition, PIMCO will assume sole management responsibility for the Portfolios and AGIFM will continue to serve as manager/administrator for numerous other closed- and open-end funds managed within the Allianz Global Investors pillar of the Allianz asset management business.

The Board and PIMCO also believe that the Proposals will benefit the Portfolios’ shareholders.

What are the expected benefits to shareholders of moving to the new PIMCO-only management structure?

The Board and PIMCO believe that the Portfolios’ shareholders will benefit by moving to a PIMCO-only management and distribution structure. This is because PIMCO, together with its affiliate PIMCO Investments, can offer the Portfolios an integrated set of high-quality investment management,

administrative and distribution services under a single platform, which the Board and PIMCO believe will allow for greater efficiencies and enhanced coordination among various advisory, administrative and distribution functions.

Will the fees and expenses charged by the Portfolios to shareholders change or increase as a result of the proposal?

No. Currently, none of the Portfolios bear any direct advisory, administrative, distribution or other fees. AGIFM also pays or reimburses all expenses associated with operating each Portfolio, other than any extraordinary expenses or expenses incurred as a result of Portfolio investments, including interest expenses. This fee and expense structure will remain in place for each Portfolio if the Proposed Advisory Agreement is approved and PIMCO replaces AGIFM as the Portfolios’ investment adviser under the Proposed Advisory Agreement and as their administrator under the new Supervision and Administration Agreement, except that PIMCO (and not AGIFM) will be responsible for paying or reimbursing Portfolio expenses.

Will the Portfolios pay for this proxy solicitation?

No. PIMCO has agreed to bear all costs relating to the proxy solicitation and related costs in connection with the Proposals. The Trust and its respective shareholders will not bear the expenses associated with the solicitation.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

The Board recommends that you vote FOR the proposals.

AST FUND SOLUTIONS PROXY REBUTTALS

IDENTIFY

“WHO do you work for?”(AST FUND SOLUTIONS)

I’m with AST Fund Solutions. We are a third party proxy solicitation agent, hired by PIMCO to contact shareholders of (NAME SPECIFIC FUND/PORTFOLIO) like yourself about the shareholder meeting being held on Monday, June 9, 2014.

 

“WHERE are you calling from?”

Lyndhurst, NJ

 

REASON FOR CALL/IMPORTANCE OF VOTING

“WHAT’s the purpose of your call?”

Our purpose is to inform you of the upcoming special meeting of shareholders and offer you the convenience of voting by phone.

 

“WHY do I need to vote?” or “WHY is it so important that I vote?”

We want to ensure that your shares are represented at the upcoming special meeting of shareholders. If there is a lack of shareholder participation, the meeting might be delayed or adjourned, which may create additional solicitation costs. The Board has recommended a vote “For” (Closed-End Fund: the Proposal; AllianzGI Managed Accounts Trust: each Proposal). May I record your vote at this time?

 

EXIT “I DON’T WANT to vote.”

I understand you don’t wish to vote at this time, please remember your vote is very important and your time is appreciated. Have a good (morning, afternoon, evening).

   

 

WILL OR ALREADY VOTED

“I already sent the proxy card in” or “I VOTED ALREADY.”

Currently our system does not show your vote as being recorded. To ensure your vote is received in time for the meeting, I can reconfirm your vote so that it will be recorded immediately and you will receive a written confirmation of your vote. As you know, the Board has recommended a vote “For” (Closed-End Fund: the Proposal; AllianzGI Managed Accounts Trust: each Proposal). Would you like to confirm your vote?

 

“I WILL VOTE (at a later time, online, etc.)”

Do you have your proxy card in your possession? The proxy card contains a control number that you will need to cast your vote over the internet. I can record your vote immediately so that it is accounted for at the meeting. The Board has recommended a vote “For” (Closed-End Fund: the Proposal; AllianzGI Managed Accounts Trust: each Proposal). May I record your vote at this time?

 

SOLD SHARES

“I don’t own any shares.” Or “I don’t have an investment with            ?”

Our records indicate that you were a shareholder of (NAME SPECIFIC FUND/PORTFOLIO) on April 9, 2014. Is that correct? May I confirm your zip code as             ?

 

“I’ve already sold these shares.”

I understand (sir / ma’am). However, you are still eligible to take part in the upcoming shareholders meeting. The Board has recommended a vote “For” (Closed-End Fund: the Proposal; AllianzGI Managed Accounts Trust: each Proposal). May I record your vote at this time?

 

“Why am I still eligible to participate?”

Because you owned these shares on the record date.

 

“What do you mean by Record Date?”

The record date is a point in time established by the Board to determine who owns shares and therefore is entitled to vote at the special meeting. Since that date is fixed, if you sold the shares after the record date you still own the voting rights to those shares.

   

 

DISCREPANCIES DURING CONFIRMATION

Shareholder does not wish to confirm address during confirmation:

If you would like, I can state what I have on file if you could confirm? Is that ok? (Pause for response) (If shareholder consents) Our records show an address at (state street address on file). Is that correct?

 

Shareholder states a different address during confirmation:

Our records indicate a different address. Is it possible the account has been registered at a different address?

 

S/h neglects to state middle initial/name suffix/street direction/apartment during confirmation.

Our records also show a (middle initial/name suffix/street direction/apartment). Can you please confirm that as well?

   

 

SKEPTICAL SHAREHOLDER/NO SOLICITATION CALLS/DON’T NEED CONFIRMATION

“I have never had a mutual fund call me about a shareholders/stockholders meeting. Why are they doing it now?

We understand that many shareholders don’t have the time to review the proxy material and cast their votes by mail. Therefore, we are calling to offer you the convenience of voting by phone. The Board has recommended a vote “For” (Closed-End Fund: the Proposal; AllianzGI Managed Accounts Trust: each Proposal). May I record your vote at this time?

 

“I’m not interested in buying anything.” or “We don’t talk to telemarketers.”

This is not a sales call (sir / ma’am). We’re only calling to advise you of the upcoming (NAME SPECIFIC FUND/PORTFOLIO)’s special meeting of shareholders and to offer you the convenience of voting over the phone.

 

“I don’t need you to send me the confirmation.”

The confirmations are automatically generated and sent to the address on the account registration.

THIRD PARTY

If the shareholder/stockholder is unavailable: (Deceased/Incapacitated/Military Tour/No Longer With Company/Away For Extended Period)

I apologize. Our records did not indicate that. Is it possible that I speak to someone authorized to vote on behalf of (Mr./Ms./Name of Company)?

 

Confirm once possible authorized person is on the phone or qualifying question is stated.

Are you authorized to vote on behalf of (Mr./Ms./Name of Company)? (Pause for response)

 

If Yes: May I please have your full name?

If No: Is there possibly someone who may be authorized to vote on behalf of (Mr./Ms./Name of Company)?

 

Shareholder “hands-off” phone to a third party to vote for them;

Good day, my name is (Agents Full Name). Based on the fact that (Shareholders Full Name) handed you the phone, are you authorized to vote on their behalf?

 

 

“My broker or financial advisor usually handles this.”

(Sir / Ma’am), although your (broker / financial advisor) may advise you how to vote, they would not generally vote for you for non-routine matters like these unless specifically instructed to do so. That’s why we are reaching out to you as the owner of the shares to inform you that your vote has not been recorded. I can record your voting instructions right now and ensure that they are represented at the meeting. The Board has recommended a vote “For” (Closed-End Fund: the Proposal; AllianzGI Managed Accounts Trust: each Proposal). May I record your vote at this time?

 

S/H insists we need to speak to broker:

Are you authorizing your broker to vote on your behalf? (Pause for response)

IF YES: May I please have his/her contact information so we can reach out to him/her on your behalf?

 

 

“How do you suggest I should vote?”

I am not authorized to advise you how to vote, but I can tell you that your Board has recommended a vote “For” (Closed-End Fund: the Proposal; AllianzGI Managed Accounts Trust: each Proposal). May I record your vote at this time?

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ESCALATIONS

Why are you trying to get me to vote with the Board?

(Sir / Ma’am), it is the role of the Board to represent the interests of shareholders. We are only advising you of the Board’s recommendation as stated in the Proxy Materials mailed to you on April 21, 2014. You do also have the option of voting “Against” or “Abstain” (AllianzGI Managed Accounts Trust Only: with respect to each Proposal). May I record your vote at this time?

 

If shareholder/stockholder needs additional information or ask a question we do not have an answer for.

Unfortunately I do not have any additional information regarding this but I can tell you the Board has recommended a vote “For” (Closed-End Fund: the Proposal; AllianzGI Managed Accounts Trust: each Proposal). May I record your vote at this time?

 

If shareholder/stockholder still needs more information.

(Sir / Ma’am), if you would like I can escalate your question to a supervisor and we will call you back with the additional information you’ve requested.
