This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Trustees/Directors (the “Board”) of PIMCO Corporate Income Fund (“PCN”), PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund (“PTY”), and PCM Fund, Inc. (“PCM”) (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) of proxies to be voted at the Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Funds and any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Meeting”). The Meeting will be held at the offices of Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (“AGIFM” or the “Manager”), at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, between West 54th and West 55th Streets, 49th Floor, New York, New York 10105, on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 at 11:00 A.M. for PCN and PTY and at 11:30 A.M. for PCM, Eastern Time.
 
The Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Notice”), this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy cards are first being sent to Shareholders on or about March 11, 2009.
 
The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the holders of common shares (the “Common Shareholders”) of each Fund and preferred shares (the “Preferred Shareholders” and, together with the Common Shareholders, the “Shareholders”) of PCN and PTY. The Shareholders of each Fund are expected to consider and vote on similar matters. Shareholders of each Fund will vote on the proposal set forth herein (the “Proposal”) and on any other matters that may arise for that Fund. An unfavorable vote on the Proposal by the Shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of the Proposal by another Fund if the Proposal is approved by the Shareholders of such other Fund.
 
The Board of each Fund has fixed the close of business on February 18, 2009 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of Shareholders of the Fund entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting, and any adjournment or postponement thereof. Shareholders of each Fund on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote per share on each matter to which they are entitled to vote and that is to be voted on by Shareholders of the Fund, and a fractional vote with respect to fractional shares, with no cumulative voting rights in the election of Trustees/Directors. The following table sets forth the number of shares of common

PCM

The classes of Shares listed for each Fund in the table above are the only classes of Shares currently authorized by that Fund.
 
At the Meeting, Preferred Shareholders of PCN and PTY will have equal voting rights (i.e., one vote per Share) with such Fund’s Common Shareholders and, except as discussed below, will vote together with Common Shareholders as a single class on all proposals to be brought before the Meeting. As summarized in the table below, (i) the Common and Preferred Shareholders of PCN, voting together as a single class, have the right to elect Robert E. Connor and William B. Ogden, IV as Trustees of PCN; (ii) the Preferred Shareholders of PCN, voting as a separate class, have the right to elect Hans W. Kertess and Diana L. Taylor as Trustees of PCN; (iii) the Common and Preferred Shareholders of PTY voting together as a single class, have the right to elect Paul Belica and John C. Maney as Trustees of PTY; (iv) the Preferred Shareholders of PTY, voting as a separate class, have the right to vote on the election of Diana L. Taylor as a Trustee of PTY and (v) the Common Shareholders of PCM voting as a single class, have the right to vote on the election of Paul Belica, Diana L. Taylor and Robert E.

PROPOSAL: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS
 
In accordance with each of PTY’s and PCN’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (each a “Declaration”) and PCM’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), the Trustees/Directors have been divided into the following three classes (each a “Class”): Class I, Class II and Class III. In May 2008, the Boards of PCN, PTY and PCM approved an increase in the size of the Board from seven to eight members, and Diana L. Taylor was appointed to fill a Class II vacancy created by such action, such appointment effective June 2008. In September 2008, Ms. Taylor was appointed by the Board to serve as a Preferred Shares Trustee of PCN and PTY to fill a vacancy resulting from the death of John J. Dalessandro II, who formerly served as a Trustee elected by the Preferred Shareholders, voting as a separate class, of each of those Funds. Accordingly, the Nominating Committee has recommended Ms. Taylor for election by the Preferred Shareholders of PCN and PTY, voting as a separate class, as Trustee of those Funds, and has recommended Ms. Taylor for election by the Shareholders of PCM as Director of PCM. The Nominating Committee has recommended the other nominees listed herein for re-election by the Shareholders as Trustees/Directors to the Funds, as applicable.
 
With respect to PCN, the term of office of the Class I Trustees will expire at the Meeting; the term of office of the Class II Trustees will expire at the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders; and the term of office of the Class III Trustees will expire at the 2011 annual meeting of shareholders. Currently, Robert E. Connor, Hans W. Kertess and William B. Ogden, IV are the Class I Trustees on the Board. The Nominating Committee has recommended to the Board that Messrs. Connor and Ogden be nominated for re-election by the Shareholders, voting as a single class, as Class I Trustees and Mr. Kertess and Ms. Taylor be nominated for election by the Preferred Shareholders, voting as a separate class, as a Class I and Class II Trustee, respectively, at the Meeting. Consistent with the Fund’s Declaration, if elected, the nominees shall hold office for terms coinciding with the Classes of Trustees to which they have been designated. Therefore, if elected at the Meeting, Messrs. Connor, Kertess and Ogden will serve a term consistent with the Class I Trustees, which will expire at the Fund’s 2012 annual meeting. If elected at the Meeting, Ms. Taylor will serve a term consistent with the Class II Trustees, which will expire at the Fund’s 2010 annual meeting.
 
With respect to PTY, the term of office of the Class III Trustees will expire at the Meeting; the term of office of the Class I Trustees will expire at the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders; and the term of office of the Class II Trustees will expire at the 2011 annual meeting of shareholders. Currently, Paul Belica and John C. Maney are the Class III Trustees on the Board. The Nominating Committee has recommended to the Board that Messrs. Belica and Maney be nominated for re-election by Shareholders, voting as a single class, as

Class III Trustees and that Ms. Taylor be nominated for election by the Preferred Shareholders, voting as a separate class, as a Class II Trustee at the Meeting. Consistent with the Fund’s Declaration, if elected, the nominees shall hold office for terms coinciding with the Classes of Trustees to which they have been designated. Therefore, if elected at the Meeting, Messrs. Belica and Maney will serve a term consistent with the Class III Trustees, which will expire at the Fund’s 2012 annual meeting. If elected at the Meeting, Ms. Taylor will serve a term consistent with the Class II Trustees, which will expire at the Fund’s 2011 annual meeting.
 
With respect to PCM, the term of office of the Class III Directors will expire at the Meeting; the term of office of the Class I Directors will expire at the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders; and the term of office of the Class II Directors will expire at the 2011 annual meeting of shareholders. Currently, Paul Belica and Robert E. Connor are the Class III Directors on the Board. The Nominating Committee has recommended to the Board that Messrs. Belica and Connor be nominated for re-election by Shareholders as Class III Directors and that Ms. Taylor be nominated for election by Shareholders as a Class I Director of PCM at the Meeting. Consistent with the Fund’s Articles, if elected, the nominees shall hold office for terms coinciding with the Classes of Directors to which they have been designated. Therefore, if elected at the Meeting, Messrs. Belica and Connor will serve a term consistent with the Class III Directors, which will expire at the Fund’s 2012 annual meeting, and Ms. Taylor will serve a term consistent with the Class I Directors, which will expire at the Fund’s 2010 annual meeting.
 
All members of each Board of PTY and PCN are and will remain, if elected, “Continuing Trustees,” as such term is defined in the Declarations of PTY and PCN, having either served as Trustee since the inception of the Funds or having been nominated by at least a majority of the Continuing Trustees then members of the Boards.
 
At any annual meeting of shareholders, any Trustee/Director elected to fill a vacancy that has arisen since the preceding annual meeting of shareholders (whether or not such vacancy has been filled by election of a new Trustee/Director by the Board) shall hold office for a term that coincides with the remaining term of the Class of Trustees/Directors to which such office was previously assigned, if such vacancy arose other than by an increase in the number of Trustees/Directors, and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify. In the event such vacancy arose due to an increase in the number of Trustees/Directors, any Trustee/Director so elected to fill such vacancy at an annual meeting shall hold office for a term which coincides with that of the Class of Trustee/Director to which such office has been apportioned and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify.
 
The following table summarizes the nominees who will stand for election at the Meeting, the respective Classes of Trustees/Directors to which they have been designated and the expiration of their respective terms if elected:

* Mr. Maney is an Interested Trustee/ Nominee.
 
** A Trustee of PCN and PTY elected at an annual meeting shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.
 
*** A Director of PCM elected at an annual meeting shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualifies.
 
Under this classified Board structure, generally only those Trustees/Directors in a single Class may be replaced in any one year, and it would require a minimum of two years to change a majority of the Board under normal circumstances. This structure, which may be regarded as an “anti-takeover” provision, may make it more difficult for a Fund’s Shareholders to change the majority of Trustees/Directors of the Fund and, thus, promotes the continuity of management.
 
Unless authority is withheld, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy for a Fund to vote each proxy for the persons listed above for that Fund. Each of the nominees has indicated he or she will serve if elected, but if he or she should be unable to serve for a Fund, the proxy holders may vote in favor of such substitute nominee as the Board may designate (or, alternatively, the Board may determine to leave a vacancy).

Taylor who served as a Trustee/Director to one of such open-end companies. These investment companies are considered to be in the same “Fund Complex” as the Funds.
 
** Diana L. Taylor’s appointment as a Trustee/Director of each Fund was not effective until June 10, 2008.
 
The Funds have no employees. The Funds’ officers and Mr. Maney are compensated by the Manager, the Sub-Adviser or one of their affiliates.
 
Board Committees and Meetings.
 
Audit Oversight Committee.  The Board of each Fund has established an Audit Oversight Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee currently consists of Messrs. Belica, Connor, Kertess, Ogden and Sullivan and Ms. Taylor, each of whom is an Independent Trustee/Director. Mr. Belica is the Chairman of each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee. Each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee provides oversight with respect to the internal and external accounting and auditing procedures of each Fund and, among other things, determines the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm for each Fund and considers the scope of the audit, approves all audit and permitted non-audit services proposed to be performed by those


10


Table of Contents

auditors on behalf of each Fund, and approves services to be performed by the auditors for certain affiliates, including the Manager, the Sub-Adviser and entities in a control relationship with the Manager or the Sub-Adviser that provide services to each Fund where the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. The Committee considers the possible effect of those services on the independence of the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm.
 
Each member of each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee is “independent,” as independence for audit committee members is defined in the currently applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, on which the Common Shares of each Fund are listed.
 
The Board of each Fund has adopted a written charter for its Audit Oversight Committee. A copy of the written charter for each Fund, as amended through June 10, 2008 is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit A. A report of the Audit Oversight Committee of PCN, dated December 20, 2008, is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit B-1. A report of the Audit Oversight Committee of PTY, dated January 22, 2009, is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit B-2. A report of the Audit Oversight Committee of PCM, dated February 23, 2009, is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit B-3.
 
Nominating Committee.  The Board of each Fund has a Nominating Committee composed solely of Independent Trustees/Directors, currently consisting of Messrs. Belica, Connor, Kertess, Ogden, and Sullivan and Ms. Taylor. The Nominating Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending qualified candidates to the Board in the event that a position is vacated or created or when Trustees/Directors are to be nominated for election by shareholders. The Nominating Committee of each Fund has adopted a charter, which is posted on the following website: http://www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds/literature.
 
Each member of each Fund’s Nominating Committee is “independent,” as independence for nominating committee members is defined in the currently applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, on which the Common Shares of each Fund are listed.
 
Qualifications, Evaluation and Identification of Trustee/Directors Nominees.  The Nominating Committee of each Fund requires that Trustee/Director candidates have a college degree or equivalent business experience. When evaluating candidates, each Fund’s Nominating Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors including, but not limited to: (i) availability and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities on the Board, (ii) relevant industry and related experience, (iii) educational background, (iv) financial expertise, (v) an assessment of the candidate’s ability, judgment and expertise and (vi) overall Board composition. The process of identifying nominees involves the consideration of candidates recommended by one or more of the following sources: (i) the Fund’s current Trustees/Directors, (ii) the Fund’s officers, (iii) the Fund’s Shareholders and (iv) any other source the Committee deems to be appropriate. The Nominating Committee of each Fund may, but is not required to, retain a third party search firm at the Fund’s expense to identify potential candidates.
 
Consideration of Candidates Recommended by Shareholders.  The Nominating Committee of each Fund will review and consider nominees recommended by Shareholders to serve as Trustees/Directors, provided that the recommending Shareholder follows the “Procedures for Shareholders to Submit Nominee Candidates for the Allianz Global Investors Fund Management Sponsored Closed-End Funds,” which are set forth as Appendix B to the Funds’ Nominating Committee Charter. Among other requirements, these procedures provide that the recommending Shareholder must submit any recommendation in writing to the Fund, to the attention of the Fund’s Secretary, at the address of the principal executive offices of the Fund and that such submission must be received at such offices not less than 45 days nor more than 75 days prior to the date of the Board or shareholder meeting at which the nominee would be elected. Any recommendation must include certain biographical and other information regarding the candidate and the recommending Shareholder, and must include a written and signed consent of the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as a Trustee/Director if elected. The

foregoing description of the requirements is only a summary. Please refer to Appendix B to the Nominating Committee Charter, which is available at http://www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds/literature, for details.
 
The Nominating Committee has full discretion to reject nominees recommended by Shareholders, and there is no assurance that any such person properly recommended and considered by the Committee will be nominated for election to the Board of each Fund.
 
Valuation Committee.  The Board of each Fund has a Valuation Committee currently consisting of Messrs. Belica, Connor, Kertess, Ogden, Sullivan and Ms. Taylor. The Board of each Fund has delegated to the Committee the responsibility to determine or cause to be determined the fair value of each Fund’s portfolio securities and other assets when market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee reviews and approves procedures for the fair valuation of each Fund’s portfolio securities and periodically reviews information from the Manager and the Sub-Adviser regarding fair value and liquidity determinations made pursuant to Board-approved procedures, and makes related recommendations to the full Board and assists the full Board in resolving particular fair valuation and other valuation matters.
 
Compensation Committee.  The Board of each Fund has a Compensation Committee currently consisting of Messrs. Belica, Connor, Kertess, Ogden and Sullivan and Ms. Taylor. The Compensation Committee meets as the Board deems necessary to review and make recommendations regarding compensation payable to the Trustees/Directors of the Fund who are not directors, officers, partners or employees of the Manager, the Sub-Adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager or the Sub-Adviser.
 
Meetings.  With respect to PCN, during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the Board of Trustees held four regular meetings and six special meetings. The Audit Oversight Committee and the Nominating Committee met in separate session twice and the Valuation Committee and the Compensation Committee did not meet in separate sessions. Each Trustee attended at least 75% of the regular meetings of the Board and meetings of the committees on which such Trustee served for PCN that were held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 except Ms. Taylor who was not appointed to the Board until June 10, 2008.

Shareholder Communications with the Board of Trustees/Directors.  The Board of Trustees/Directors of each Fund has adopted procedures by which Fund Shareholders may send communications to the Board. Shareholders may mail written communications to the Board to the attention of the Board of Trustees/Directors, [name of Fund], c/o Thomas J. Fuccillo, Chief Legal Officer (“CLO”), Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105. Shareholder communications must (i) be in writing and be signed by the Shareholder and (ii) identify the class and number of Shares held


12


Table of Contents

by the Shareholder. The CLO or his designee of each Fund is responsible for reviewing properly submitted shareholder communications. The CLO shall either (i) provide a copy of each properly submitted shareholder communication to the Board at its next regularly scheduled Board meeting or (ii) if the CLO determines that the communication requires more immediate attention, forward the communication to the Trustees/Directors promptly after receipt. The CLO may, in good faith, determine that a shareholder communication should not be provided to the Board because it does not reasonably relate to a Fund or its operations, management, activities, policies, service providers, Board, officers, shareholders or other matters relating to an investment in the Fund or is otherwise routine or ministerial in nature. These procedures do not apply to (i) any communication from an officer or Trustee/Director of a Fund, (ii) any communication from an employee or agent of a Fund, unless such communication is made solely in such employee’s or agent’s capacity as a shareholder, or (iii) any shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or any communication made in connection with such a proposal. A Fund’s Trustees/Directors are not required to attend the Fund’s annual shareholder meetings or to otherwise make themselves available to shareholders for communications, other than by the aforementioned procedures.
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.  Each Fund’s Trustees/Directors and certain officers, investment advisers, certain affiliated persons of the investment advisers and persons who own more than 10% of any class of outstanding securities of a Fund (i.e., a Fund’s Common Shares or Preferred Shares) are required to file forms reporting their affiliation with the Fund and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Fund’s securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). These persons and entities are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Fund with copies of all such forms they file. Based solely on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund, each Fund believes that each of the Trustees/Directors and relevant officers, investment advisers and relevant affiliated persons of the investment advisers has complied with all applicable filing requirements during each Fund’s respective fiscal years ended October 31, 2008 for PCN, November 30, 2008 for PTY, and December 31, 2008 for PCM, except that due to administrative oversight, late Form 3 filings were made for the following employees who are affiliated persons of PCN: William C.

* Unless otherwise noted, the address of the Funds’ officers is Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10105.
 
Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser.  The Manager, located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105, serves as the investment manager of the Funds. The Manager retains its affiliate, PIMCO, as Sub-Adviser to manage each Fund’s investments. PIMCO is located at 800 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660. The Manager and the Sub-Adviser are each majority-owned indirect subsidiaries of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company.
 
Legal Proceedings.  In June and September 2004, the Manager and certain of its affiliates (including PEA Capital LLC (“PEA”), Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC and Allianz Global Investors of America, L.P.) agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought by the SEC and the New Jersey Attorney General alleging violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to certain open-end funds for which the Manager serves as investment adviser. The settlements related to an alleged “market timing” arrangement in certain open-end funds formerly sub-advised by PEA. The Manager and its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims. In addition to monetary payments, the settling parties agreed to undertake certain corporate governance, compliance and disclosure reforms related to market timing, and consented to cease and desist orders and censures. Subsequent to these events, PEA deregistered as an investment adviser and dissolved. None of the settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Funds.
 
Since February 2004, the Manager, and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning “market timing,” which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. Any potential resolution of these matters may include, but not be limited to, judgments or settlements for damages against the Manager, or its affiliates or related injunctions.
 
The Manager and the Sub-Adviser believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Funds.
 
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this document.
 
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.  The Audit Oversight Committee of each Fund’s Board unanimously selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ending October 31, 2009 for PCN, November 30, 2009 for PTY and December 31, 2009 for PCM. PwC served as the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund for the last fiscal year and also serves as the independent registered public accounting firm of various other investment companies for which the Manager and the Sub-Adviser serve as investment adviser or sub-advisers.

Table of Contents

PwC is located at 1100 Walnut Street, Suite 1300, Kansas City, MO 64106-2197. None of the Funds knows of any direct financial or material indirect financial interest of PwC in the Funds.
 
A representative of PwC, if requested by any Shareholder, will be present at the Meeting via telephone to respond to appropriate questions from Shareholders and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she chooses to do so.
 
Pre-approval Policies and Procedures.  Each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee has adopted written policies relating to the pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. Under the policies, on an annual basis, a Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee reviews and pre-approves proposed audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm on behalf of the Fund. The President of each Fund also pre-approves any permitted non-audit services to be provided to the Fund.
 
In addition, each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee pre-approves annually any permitted non-audit services (including audit-related services) to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Manager, the Sub-Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Manager that provides ongoing services to the Fund (together, the “Accounting Affiliates”), provided, in each case, that the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Although the Audit Oversight Committee does not pre-approve all services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to Accounting Affiliates (for instance, if the engagement does not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund), the Committee receives an annual report from the independent registered public accounting firm showing the aggregate fees paid by Accounting Affiliates for such services.
 
Each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee may also from time to time pre-approve individual non-audit services to be provided to the Fund or an Accounting Affiliate that were not pre-approved as part of the annual process described above. The Chairman of each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee (or any other member of the Committee to whom this responsibility has been delegated) may also pre-approve these individual non-audit services, provided that the fee for such services does not exceed certain pre-determined dollar thresholds. Any such pre-approval by the Chairman (or by a delegate) is reported to the full Audit Oversight Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
 
The pre-approval policies provide for waivers of the requirement that the Audit Oversight Committee pre-approve permitted non-audit services provided to the Funds or their Accounting Affiliates pursuant to de minimis exceptions described in Section 10A of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations (referred to herein as the “de minimis exception”).
 
Audit Fees.  Audit Fees are fees related to the audit and review of the financial statements included in annual reports and registration statements, and other services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. For each Fund’s last two fiscal years, the Audit Fees billed by PwC are shown in the table below:

Each Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee has determined that the provision by PwC of non-audit services to the Fund’s Accounting Affiliates that were not pre-approved by the Committee were compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC as the Fund’s principal auditors.
 
Other Business.  As of the date of this Proxy Statement, each Fund’s officers and the Manager know of no business to come before the Meeting other than as set forth in the Notice. If any other business is properly brought before the Meeting, including any adjournment thereof, the persons named as proxies will vote in their sole discretion.
 
Quorum, Adjournments and Methods of Tabulation.  A quorum for each of PCN and PTY at the Meeting will consist of the presence in person or by proxy of thirty percent (30%) of the total Shares of each of PCN and PTY entitled to vote at the Meeting. For PCM, the presence at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, of Shareholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting or, even if a quorum is present, in the event that sufficient votes in favor of the Proposal set forth in the Notice are not received by the time scheduled for the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting after the date set for the original Meeting, with no other notice than announcement at the Meeting, to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to the Proposal. In addition, if, in the judgment of the persons named as proxies, it is advisable to defer action on the Proposal, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting with respect to the Proposal for a reasonable time. Any adjournments with respect to the Proposal will require the affirmative vote of a plurality of the Shares of PCN and PTY and the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares of PCM entitled to vote thereon present in person or represented by proxy at the session of the Meeting to be adjourned. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment those proxies which they are entitled to vote in favor of the Proposal. They will vote against any such adjournment those proxies required to be voted against the Proposal. The costs of any additional solicitation and of any adjourned session will be borne by the applicable Fund. Any proposals properly before the Meeting for which sufficient favorable votes have been received by the time of the Meeting will be acted upon and such action will be final regardless of whether the Meeting is adjourned to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other proposal.
 
Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be counted by persons appointed by PCN and PTY as tellers, and by PCM as inspectors (collectively, the “Tellers/Inspectors”) for the Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for each Fund, the Tellers/Inspectors will count the total number of votes cast “for” or “against” approval of the Proposal for that Fund, as well as Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and the broker or nominee does not have the discretionary voting power on a particular matter). Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the Proposal for a Fund.
 
Reports to Shareholders.  The 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders for PCN was mailed to Shareholders on or about December 29, 2008. The 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders for PTY was mailed to Shareholders on or about January 29, 2009. The 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders for PCM was be mailed to Shareholders on or about February 27, 2009. Additional copies of the Annual Reports and the Funds’ Semi-Annual Reports may be obtained without charge from the Funds by calling 1-877-819-2224 or by writing to the Funds at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.
 
Shareholder Proposals for 2010 Annual Meeting.  It is currently anticipated that each Fund’s next annual meeting of Shareholders after the Meeting addressed in this Proxy Statement will be held in April 2010. Proposals of Shareholders intended to be presented at that annual meeting of the Fund must be received by the Fund no later than November 11, 2009 for inclusion in the Fund’s proxy statement and proxy cards relating to

Table of Contents

that meeting. The submission by a Shareholder of a proposal for inclusion in the proxy materials does not guarantee that it will be included. Shareholder proposals are subject to certain requirements under the federal securities laws and must be submitted in accordance with the applicable Fund’s Bylaws. Shareholders submitting any other proposals for the Fund intended to be presented at the 2010 annual meeting (i.e., other than those to be included in the Fund’s proxy materials) must ensure that such proposals are received by the Fund, in good order and complying with all applicable legal requirements and requirements set forth in the Fund’s Bylaws, no earlier than January 11, 2010 and no later than January 25, 2010 for PCN and PTY, and no earlier than December 11, 2009 and no later than January 11, 2010 for PCM. If a Shareholder who wishes to present a proposal fails to notify the Fund within these dates, the proxies solicited for the meeting will have discretionary authority to vote on the Shareholder’s proposal if it is properly brought before the meeting. If a Shareholder makes a timely notification, the proxies may still exercise discretionary voting authority under circumstances consistent with the SEC’s proxy rules. Shareholder proposals should be addressed to the attention of the Secretary of the applicable Fund, at the address of the principal executive offices of the Fund, with a copy to David C. Sullivan, Ropes & Gray LLP, One International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110-2624.
 
PLEASE EXECUTE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARDS PROMPTLY TO ENSURE THAT A QUORUM IS PRESENT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. A SELF-ADDRESSED, POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE IS ENCLOSED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE.

Exhibit A to Proxy Statement
 
Allianz Global Investors Fund Management Sponsored Closed-End Funds
Audit Oversight Committee Charter

(Adopted as of January 14, 2004,
as amended through
June 10, 2008)
 
The Board of Trustees (each a “Board”) of each of the registered investment companies listed in Appendix A hereto (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), as the same may be periodically updated, has adopted this Charter to govern the activities of the Audit Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) of the particular Board with respect to its oversight of the Fund. This Charter applies separately to each Fund and its particular Board and Committee, and shall be interpreted accordingly. This Charter supersedes and replaces any audit committee charter previously adopted by the Board or a committee of the Board.
 
Statement of Purpose and Functions
 
The Committee’s general purpose is to oversee the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and its internal controls, including by assisting with the Board’s oversight of the integrity of the Fund’s financial statements, the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications and independence of the Fund’s independent auditors, and the performance of the Fund’s internal control systems and independent auditors. The Committee’s purpose is also to prepare reports required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules to be included in the Fund’s annual proxy statements, if any.
 
The Committee’s function is oversight. While the Committee has the responsibilities set forth in this Charter, it is not the responsibility of the Committee to plan or conduct audits, to prepare or determine that the Fund’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or to assure compliance with laws, regulations or any internal rules or policies of the Fund. Fund management is responsible for Fund accounting and the implementation and maintenance of the Fund’s internal control systems, and the independent auditors are responsible for conducting a proper audit of the Fund’s financial statements. Members of the Committee are not employees of the Funds and, in serving on this Committee, are not, and do not hold themselves out to be, acting as accountants or auditors. As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Committee or its members to conduct “field work” or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures. Each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on (i) the integrity of those persons and organizations within management and outside the Fund from which the Committee receives information and (ii) the accuracy of financial and other information provided to the Committee by such persons or organizations absent actual knowledge to the contrary.
 
Membership
 
The Committee shall be comprised of as many trustees as the Board shall determine, but in any event not less than three (3) Trustees. Each member of the Committee must be a member of the Board. The Board may remove or replace any member of the Committee at any time in its sole discretion. One or more members of the Committee may be designated by the Board as the Committee’s chairman or co-chairman, as the case may be.
 
Each member of the Committee may not be an “interested person” of the Fund, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and must otherwise satisfy the standards for independence of an audit committee member of an investment

company issuer as set forth in Rule 10A-3(b) (taking into account any exceptions to those requirements set for in such rule) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and under applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). Each member of the Committee must be “financially literate” (or must become so within a reasonable time after his or her appointment to the Committee) and at least one member of the Committee must have “accounting or related financial management expertise,” in each case as the Board interprets such qualification in its business judgment under NYSE listing standards.
 
Responsibilities and Duties
 
The Committee’s policies and procedures shall remain flexible to facilitate the Committee’s ability to react to changing conditions and to generally discharge its functions. The following describe areas of attention in broad terms. The Committee shall:
 
1.
Determine the selection, retention or termination of the Fund’s independent auditors based on an evaluation of their independence and the nature and performance of the audit and any permitted non-audit services. Decisions by the Committee concerning the selection, retention or termination of the independent auditors shall be submitted to the Board for ratification in accordance with the requirements of Section 32(a) of the Investment Company Act. The Fund’s independent auditors must report directly to the Committee, which shall be responsible for resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditors relating to financial reporting.
 
2.
To consider the independence of the Fund’s independent auditors at least annually, and in connection therewith receive on a periodic basis formal written disclosures and letters from the independent auditors as required by the Independence Standards Board Standard (“ISB”) No. 1.
 
3.
To the extent required by applicable regulations, pre-approve (i) all audit and permitted non-audit services rendered by the independent auditors to the Fund and (ii) all non-audit services rendered by the independent auditors to the Fund’s investment advisers (including sub-advisers) and to certain of the investment advisers’ affiliates. The Committee may implement policies and procedures by which such services are approved other than by the full Committee.
 
4.
Review the fees charged by the independent auditors to the Fund, the investment advisers and certain affiliates of the investment advisers for audit, audit-related and permitted non-audit services.
 
5.
If and to the extent that the Fund intends to have employees, set clear policies for the hiring by the Fund of employees or former employees of the Fund’s independent auditors.
 
6.
Obtain and review at least annually a report from the independent auditors describing (i) the accounting firm’s internal quality-control procedures and (ii) any material issues raised (a) by the accounting firm’s most recent internal quality-control review or peer review or (b) by any governmental or other professional inquiry or investigation performed within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm, and any steps taken to address any such issues.

12.
Discuss with management any press releases discussing the Fund’s investment performance and other financial information about the Fund, as well as any financial information provided by management to analysts or rating agencies. The Committee may discharge this responsibility by discussing the general types of information to be disclosed by the Fund and the form of presentation (i.e., a case-by-case review is not required) and need not discuss in advance each such release of information.
 
13.
Establish procedures for (i) the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by the Fund regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters; and (ii) the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Fund, the Fund’s investment advisers, administrator, principal underwriter (if any) or any other provider of accounting-related services for the investment advisers of concerns regarding accounting or auditing matters.
 
14.

Report of Audit Oversight Committee
of the Board of Trustees of
PIMCO Corporate Income Fund (the “Fund”)
Dated December 20, 2008
 
The Audit Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) oversees the Fund’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) and operates under a written Charter adopted by the Board. The Committee meets with the Fund’s management (“Management”) and independent registered public accounting firm and reports the results of its activities to the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. In connection with the Committee’s and independent accountant’s responsibilities, Management has advised that the Fund’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 were prepared in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles.
 
The Committee has reviewed and discussed with Management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. The Committee has discussed with PwC the matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standard No. 61 (SAS 61). SAS 61 requires independent auditors to communicate to the Committee matters including, if applicable: 1) methods used to account for significant unusual transactions; 2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus; 3) the process used by management in formulating particularly sensitive accounting estimates and the basis for the independent registered public accounting firm’s conclusions regarding the reasonableness of those estimates; and 4) disagreements with Management over the application of accounting principles and certain other matters.
 
With respect to the Fund, the Committee has received the written disclosure and the letter from PwC required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (requiring auditors to make written disclosure to and discuss with the Committee various matters relating to the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence), and has discussed with PwC their independence. The Committee has also reviewed the aggregate fees billed by PwC for professional services rendered to the Fund and for non-audit services provided to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (“AGIFM”), the Fund’s investment manager during portions of the last fiscal year, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”), the Fund’s sub-adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with AGIFM or PIMCO that provided services to the Fund. As part of this review, the Committee considered, in addition to other practices and requirements relating to selection of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, whether the provision of such non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC.
 
Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Committee presents this Report to the Board and recommends that (1) the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 be included in the Fund’s Annual Report to shareholders for such fiscal year, (2) such Annual Report be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange, and (3) PwC be reappointed as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2009.

With respect to the Fund, the Committee has received the written disclosure and the letter from PwC required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (requiring auditors to make written disclosure to and discuss with the Committee various matters relating to the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence), and has discussed with PwC their independence. The Committee has also reviewed the aggregate fees billed by PwC for professional services rendered to the Fund and for non-audit services provided to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (“AGIFM”), the Fund’s investment manager during portions of the last fiscal year, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”), the Fund’s sub-adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with AGIFM or PIMCO that provided services to the Fund. As part of this review, the Committee considered, in addition to other practices and requirements relating to selection of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, whether the provision of such non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC.
 
Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Committee presents this Report to the Board and recommends that (1) the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, be included in the Fund’s Annual Report to shareholders for such fiscal year, (2) such Annual Report be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange, and (3) PwC be reappointed as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.
