The joint shareholder meetings were held on September 18, 2012. With respect to Pioneer High Income Trust, the September 18, 2012 meeting was adjourned until October 23, 2012 to provide the fund’s preferred shareholders additional time to cast their votes.

Keep in mind, dividends are not guaranteed. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, common shares of closed-end funds are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange and frequently trade at prices lower than their net asset value. Net Asset Value (NAV) is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of common shares outstanding.
