SMALL CAP PREMIUM & DIVIDEND INCOME FUND INC.

DECEMBER 31, 2008



 


 

A Summary From Your Fund’s Portfolio Managers

          We are pleased to provide you with this shareholder report for Small Cap Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. The Fund is advised by IQ Investment Advisors LLC and sub-advised by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC.

The investment objectives of Small Cap Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) are to provide shareholders with a high level of income, with a secondary goal of capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its investment objectives principally through a two-part strategy. First, the Fund will invest in a statistically selected sample of stocks included in the Russell 2000® Index (the “Index”) and/or other investments that have economic characteristics similar to the securities that comprise the Index, which may include futures, forward, swap and option contracts based on the Index, as well as other investment funds with a composition similar to that of the Index. Second, the Fund will write (sell) call options on the Index or on exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) which seek to track the performance of the Index with respect to some or all of the value of its assets. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund had a total investment return as set forth in the table below, based on the change per share in net asset value of $17.19 to $9.55. For the same period, the Fund’s unmanaged reference index, the Russell 2000 Index, had a total return as shown below. All of the Fund and index information presented includes the reinvestment of any dividends or distributions. Distribution information may be found in the Notes to Financial Statements, Note 5.

The reference index has no expenses associated with performance.

For more detail with regard to the Fund’s total investment return based on a change in the per share market value of the Fund’s Common Stock (as measured by the trading price of the Fund’s shares on the New York Stock Exchange), please refer to the Financial Highlights section of this report.

As a closed-end fund, the Fund’s shares may trade in the secondary market at a premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value. As a result, total investment returns based on changes in the market value of the Fund’s Common Stock can vary significantly from total investment returns based on changes in the Fund’s net asset value.

Summary Schedule of Investments (concluded)


 

 

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1(a) of the Notes to Financial Statements.

 

 

 

 

The following table summarizes the inputs used as of December 31, 2008 in determining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

SMALL CAP PREMIUM & DIVIDEND INCOME FUND INC.

DECEMBERS 31, 2008



 


 

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

Small Cap Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company with a fixed term of approximately five years. The expected termination date of the Fund is on or about July 21, 2010.The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Fund determines and makes available for publication the net asset value of its Common Stock on a daily basis. The Fund’s Common Stock shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol RCC. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

(a) Valuation of investments — Equity securities that are held by the Fund that are traded on stock exchanges or the NASDAQ Global Market are valued at the last sale price or official close price on the exchange, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid price for long positions, and at the last available asked price for short positions. In cases where equity securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by or under the authority of the Board of Directors of the Fund. Long positions traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market, NASDAQ Capital Market or Bulletin Board are valued at the last available bid price or yield equivalent obtained from one or more dealers or pricing services approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Short positions traded in the OTC market are valued at the last available asked price. Portfolio securities that are traded both in the OTC market and on an exchange are valued according to the broadest and most representative market.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. Options traded in the OTC market are valued at the last asked price (options written) or the last bid price (options purchased). The value of swaps, including interest rate swaps, caps and floors, will be determined by reference to the value of the components when such components consist of securities for which market quotations are available. In the absence of obtainable quotations, swaps will be valued by obtaining dealer quotations. Financial futures contracts and options thereon, which are traded on exchanges, are valued at their last sale price as of the close of such exchanges. Obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost unless the investment adviser believes that this method no longer produces fair valuations.

Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest. The Fund employs pricing services to provide certain securities prices for the Fund. Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Fund, including valuations furnished by the pricing services retained by the Fund, which may use a matrix system for valuations. The procedures of a pricing service and its valuations are reviewed by the officers of the Fund under the general supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors. Such valuations and procedures will be reviewed periodically by the Board of Directors of the Fund.

Generally, trading in U.S. government securities, money market instruments and certain fixed income securities, is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund’s shares are determined as of such times. Overnight Time Deposits are valued at the amount deposited each day. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, those securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s Board of Directors or by the investment adviser using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors.

(b) Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) — A portion of distributions received from REITs may constitute a return of capital. During the year an amount, based upon prior experience and guidance from the REITs is reclassified from dividend income and recorded as an adjustment to basis of the REIT holdings. The adjustment is a reduction in basis and is reflected in either unrealized appreciation (depreciation) or realized gain (loss).

(c) Derivative financial instruments — The Fund may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to enhance its returns or as a proxy for a direct investment in securities underlying the Fund’s index. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the contract due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or index, or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

counterparty, for certain instruments, may pledge cash or securities as collateral.

 

 

Options — The Fund writes call options. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an options expires (or the Fund enters into a closing transaction), the Fund realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium paid or received). Written options are non-income producing investments.

 

 

Financial futures contracts — The Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on such financial futures contracts. Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits, and maintains as collateral, such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

(d) Income taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48,”Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) requires an analysis of tax positions taken or to be taken on a tax return and whether such positions are “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination based on their technical merit. To the extent they would not be sustained, tax expense (and related interest and penalties) would be recognized for financial statement reporting purposes. Management has evaluated the application of FIN 48 to the Fund, and has determined that FIN 48 does not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund files U.S. and various state tax returns. To the best of the Fund’s knowledge, no income tax returns are currently under examination. All tax years of the Fund are open at this time.

(e) Security transactions and investment income — Security transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.

(f) Dividends and distributions — Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Portions of the distributions paid by the Fund during the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were characterized as a tax return of capital.

(g) Offering expenses — Direct expenses relating to the public offering of the Fund’s Common Stock were charged to capital at the time of issuance of the shares. Any adjustments to estimates of offering costs were recorded to capital.

(h) Recent accounting pronouncement — In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”), was issued. FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. Disclosures required by FAS 161 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

(i) Reclassification — Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. Accordingly, during the current year, $33,958 has been reclassified to paid-in capital in excess of par from undistributed net investment income as a result of a permanent difference attributable to non-deductible expenses. This reclassification has no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.

As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had a net capital loss carry-forward of $55,567,793, all of which expires in 2016. This amount will be available to offset like amounts of any future taxable gains.

 

 

**

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized losses is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain financial futures contracts and options, the deferral of post-October capital losses for tax purposes, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain securities that are part of a straddle and other book/tax temporary differences.

6. Subsequent Events:

Effective January 1, 2009, ML & Co., IQ Advisors’ parent, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (the “Transaction”).

On January 23, 2009, a special meeting of stockholders was reconvened from December 19, 2008 to vote on a new investment advisory and management agreement and a new investment subadvisory agreement (together the “New Agreements”) to prevent any potential disruption in IQ Advisors’ and the subadviser’s ability to continue to provide services to the Fund in connection with the Transaction. ML & Co. had informed the Board of Directors of the Fund that it did not believe the Transaction would result in an “assignment” of the Fund’s current investment advisory and management agreement and current investment subadvisory agreement (together, the “Current Agreements”) under the 1940 Act, but that it was possible that the Transaction could be determined to result in such an assignment, which would cause the automatic termination of each Current Agreement.

Each of the New Agreements was approved by stockholders and became effective on January 24, 2009. From January 1 to January 23, 2009, the Fund operated under an interim investment advisory and management agreement and an interim investment subadvisory agreement that were previously approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Small Cap Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Approval of New Advisory Agreements and New Subadvisory Agreements

On September 15, 2008, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”), the parent company of IQ Investment Advisors LLC (“IQ Advisors” or the “Adviser”), announced that it had entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Bank of America Corporation (“Bank of America”) whereby a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America would be merged with and into Merrill Lynch (the “Transaction”). Merrill Lynch informed the Board of Directors of each of the funds advised by IQ Advisors (the “IQ Funds” or the “Funds”) that it did not believe the Transaction would result in an “assignment” of the Funds’ current investment advisory and management agreements (the “Current Advisory Agreements”) and current investment subadvisory agreements (the “Current Subadvisory Agreements”) (together, the “Current Agreements”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), but that it was possible that the Transaction could be determined to result in such an assignment, which would cause the automatic termination of each Current Agreement.

In anticipation of the completion of the Transaction, the Boards of Directors of each of the Funds (the “Board”) met in person on November 11, 2008 (the “Meeting”) for purposes of, among other things, considering whether it would be in the best interests of the Funds and their stockholders to approve new investment advisory and management agreements between IQ Advisors and each of the Funds (the “New Advisory Agreements”) and new investment subadvisory agreements between IQ Advisors and the respective subadviser to each Fund (the “New Subadvisory Agreements”) (together, the “New Agreements”) that would take effect upon the closing of the Transaction. The Board also approved interim investment advisory and management agreements between IQ Advisors and each of the Funds (the “Interim Advisory Agreements”) and interim subadvisory agreements between IQ Advisors and the respective subadviser to each Fund (the “Interim Subadvisory Agreements”) (together, the “Interim Agreements”) that would take effect for a maximum of 150 days following the closing of the Transaction only in the event that stockholders have not approved the respective New Agreements prior to such time. The Board considered substantially the same factors in approving the Interim Agreements as were considered in approving the New Agreements.

The Transaction was approved by the stockholders of Merrill Lynch on December 5, 2008. Effective January 1, 2009, Merrill Lynch became a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America. The stockholders of the Fund approved the New Agreements on January 23, 2009.

The following discussion summarizes the information considered and the conclusions made by the Board in approving the New Agreements.

In considering the approval of the New Advisory Agreement between IQ Advisors and each Fund, the Directors received and discussed various materials provided to them in advance of the Meeting, which included, among other things, a copy of the form of New Advisory Agreement, the materials the Directors had received in connection with their consideration and approval of the continuation of the Current Advisory Agreement for each Fund (other than for MLP & Strategic Equity Fund Inc. (“MLP Fund”)), at the June 5, 2008 Board meeting, and additional materials presented at the November 11, 2008 Board meeting in connection with the New Advisory Agreements, including information from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) with respect to MLP Fund, due diligence materials from IQ Advisors and a report on the Transaction and its potential impact on the services provided to the Funds. In addition, the Directors considered materials received at previous meetings of the Board regarding the Funds.

In considering whether to approve the New Advisory Agreements, the Directors reviewed materials from counsel to the Funds and from IQ Advisors including: (i) information concerning the services rendered to the Funds by IQ Advisors and its affiliates; (ii) information concerning the revenues and expenses incurred by IQ Advisors and its affiliates from the operation of the Funds; (iii) a memorandum outlining the legal duties of the Directors under the 1940 Act; and (iv) information from Lipper comparing each Fund’s fee rate for advisory and administrative services to those of other closed-end funds chosen by Lipper. Each New Advisory Agreement was considered separately by the Directors.

The Directors considered and discussed, among other things, the following factors in approving the New Advisory Agreements and Interim Advisory Agreements:

(a) Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by IQ Advisors and its Affiliates — In connection with their consideration of each New Advisory Agreement, the Directors considered representations by IQ Advisors that there would be no diminution in the services to be rendered to the Funds by IQ Advisors as a result of the Transaction. The Directors noted that representatives of IQ Advisors stated that they did not anticipate any change in their personnel responsible for providing services to the Funds.

In reviewing each New Advisory Agreement, the Directors focused on the services that IQ Advisors has provided to each Fund. The Directors considered the size and experience of IQ Advisors’ staff, its use of technology, and the degree to

Approval of New Advisory Agreements and New Subadvisory Agreements (continued)

which IQ Advisors exercises supervision over the actions of each Fund’s respective subadviser. In connection with the investment advisory services provided, the Directors took into account detailed discussions they had with officers of IQ Advisors at the November 11, 2008 Board meeting and at prior Board meetings regarding the management of each Fund’s investments in accordance with each Fund’s stated investment objective and policies and the types of transactions entered into on behalf of each Fund.

In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Funds, the Directors considered that IQ Advisors and its affiliates also provide administrative services, stockholder services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds. In particular, the Directors reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds by IQ Advisors, including its oversight of each Fund’s day-to-day operations and its oversight of Fund accounting. The Directors noted that IQ Advisors has access to administrative, legal and compliance resources that help ensure a high level of quality in the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds. The Directors also considered each Fund’s compliance history.

The Directors noted the representations of IQ Advisors that the Transaction would have no adverse effect on the resources and strengths of IQ Advisors in managing the Funds. The Directors then discussed the anticipated financial condition of IQ Advisors and its affiliates following the Transaction. The Directors noted statements from representatives of IQ Advisors that the financial position of IQ Advisors and its affiliates is not expected to be negatively affected by the Transaction. The Directors also considered representations from IQ Advisors that the Transaction is not expected to impact IQ Advisors’ compliance personnel or compliance procedures. Based on the discussions held and the materials presented at the Board meetings held on November 11, 2008 and June 5, 2008 and other prior Board meetings, the Directors determined that the Transaction would not likely cause an adverse change in the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by IQ Advisors under the New Advisory Agreements and that they expect that the quality of such services will continue to be of high quality and beneficial to the Funds.

(b) Investment Performance of each Fund and IQ Advisors — The Directors considered the history, experience, resources and strengths of IQ Advisors and its affiliates in developing and implementing the investment strategies used by each Fund. The Directors also considered the innovative nature of each Fund. The Directors noted the specialized nature of each Fund’s investment strategy and the inherent limitations in comparing a Fund’s investment performance to that of another investment company. The Directors reviewed the investment performance of each Fund that is currently operating and, where applicable, compared such performance to the performance of a relevant reference index. The Directors discussed the degree to which each such Fund was achieving its investment objective. In particular, the Directors noted that the Funds generally performed as expected and met their respective investment objectives. As a result of their discussions and review, the Directors concluded that the performance of each currently operating Fund was satisfactory.

(c) Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by IQ Advisors and its Affiliates from the Relationship with each Fund — In reviewing the New Advisory Agreements, the Directors referred to the materials presented and discussions held in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Current Advisory Agreement for each respective Fund (other than for MLP Fund) at the June 5, 2008 Board meeting, and additional materials presented at the November 11, 2008 Board meeting in connection with the New Agreements for all Funds. At the June 5, 2008 meeting, the Directors reviewed and considered a memorandum from IQ Advisors regarding the methodology used by IQ Advisors in allocating its costs regarding the operations of the Funds and calculating each Fund’s profitability, including MLP Fund, to IQ Advisors and its affiliates. At the June 5, 2008 meeting, the Directors also reviewed a report detailing IQ Advisors’ profitability. After considering their discussion with IQ Advisors at the June 5, 2008 meeting and further discussions at the November 11, 2008 meeting and reviewing IQ Advisors’ memorandum and report, the Directors concluded that there continued to be a reasonable basis for the allocation of costs and the determination of profitability. The Directors considered the cost of the services provided by IQ Advisors to each Fund and the revenue derived by IQ Advisors and its affiliates. The Directors took into account discussions that they had with representatives of IQ Advisors at the June 5, 2008 Board meeting regarding its general level of profitability (if any), and the profits derived by its affiliate, BlackRock, Inc., from operating the Funds. The Directors also considered the direct and indirect benefits derived by other IQ Advisors’ affiliates, including Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), from the establishment of the Funds, including the underwriting arrangements relating to the initial distribution of Fund shares. The Directors considered federal court decisions discussing an investment adviser’s profitability and profitability levels considered to be reasonable in those decisions. The Directors concluded that any profits made by IQ Advisors and its affiliates (including BlackRock, Inc. and MLPF&S) are acceptable in relation to the nature, extent and

Approval of New Advisory Agreements and New Subadvisory Agreements (continued)

quality of services provided. The Directors also concluded that each Fund continued to benefit from such services provided by IQ Advisors’ affiliates.

(d) Extent to which Economies of Scale would be Realized as a Fund Grows and Whether Fee Levels would Reflect such Economies of Scale — In considering the extent to which economies of scale might be realized if the assets of a Fund were to increase and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable a Fund to participate in these economies of scale, the Directors referred to the materials presented and discussions held in connection with their considerations at the June 5, 2008 Board meeting and additional materials presented at the November 11, 2008 Board meeting in connection with the New Advisory Agreements. The Directors noted that because each Fund is a closed-end fund, any increase in asset levels generally would have to come from appreciation through investment performance. The Directors also noted that each Fund, other than Dow 30SM Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. (“Dow 30 Premium”), NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth Fund Inc. (“NASDAQ Premium”), Dow 30SM Enhanced Premium & Income Fund Inc. (“Dow 30 Enhanced”), MLP Fund and S&P 500® Covered Call Fund Inc. (“Covered Call”), is an interval fund that periodically allows stockholders to tender their shares to the Fund and that such tender offers reduce the amount of Fund assets.

Taking into account the totality of the information and materials provided to them at Board meetings held November 11, 2008 and June 5, 2008 and at other prior Board meetings, the Directors determined that no changes were currently necessary to each Fund’s fee structure.

(e) Comparison of services rendered and fees paid to those under other investment advisory contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisers or other clients — The Directors considered representations by IQ Advisors that there would be no change in the advisory fee paid by each Fund to IQ Advisors under the New Advisory Agreements as a result of the Transaction. In considering the compensation to be paid to IQ Advisors, noting that no changes to such compensation from that payable under the Current Advisory Agreements were proposed, the Directors referred to the materials presented and discussions held in connection with their considerations at the June 5, 2008 Board meeting and additional materials presented at the November 11, 2008 Board meeting in connection with the New Advisory Agreements. The Directors noted that in connection with such considerations it had received and reviewed a comparison of both the services rendered and the fees paid under the Current Advisory Agreements to the contracts of other investment advisers with respect to other closed-end registered investment companies. In particular, the Directors noted that it evaluated each Fund’s contractual fee rate for advisory and administrative services as compared to the contractual fee rate of other closed-end funds chosen by Lipper. In connection with its consideration of the New Advisory Agreement for MLP Fund, the Directors noted that it had received and reviewed fee comparison data from Lipper at the November 11, 2008 Board meeting. The Directors noted that each Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate at a common asset level was equal to or lower than the median fee rate of its Lipper comparison funds.

Taking into account the totality of the information and materials provided to them at the Board meetings held on November 11, 2008 and June 5, 2008, and at other prior Board meetings, the Directors concluded that the advisory fee rates proposed under each New Advisory Agreement were reasonable for the services being rendered and in comparison to the data reflected in the Lipper materials.

(f) Conclusion — The Directors examined the totality of the information they were provided at the November 11, 2008 and June 5, 2008 Board meetings and did not identify any single factor discussed previously as controlling. The Directors concluded that the terms of each New Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, that IQ Advisors’ fees are reasonable for the services provided to each Fund, and that each New Advisory Agreement should be approved and recommended to stockholders.

Approval of New Investment Subadvisory Agreements

The Directors discussed the approval of New Subadvisory Agreements between IQ Advisors and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”), as subadviser to S&P 500® GEARED Fund Inc. (“S&P GEARED”) and Small Cap Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. (“Small Cap”); Oppenheimer Capital LLC (“Oppenheimer”), as subadviser to Covered Call and Enhanced S&P 500® Covered Call Fund Inc. (“Enhanced Covered Call”); Nuveen HydePark Group, LLC (“Nuveen HydePark”), as subadviser to Dow 30, Dow 30 Enhanced, NASDAQ Premium and Defined Strategy Fund Inc.

(“Global Income”) (each, a “Subadviser” and, collectively, the “Subadvisers”). The Directors also discussed the approval of Interim Subadvisory Agreements between IQ Advisors and the Subadvisers of each of the Funds, which would go into effect for a maximum of 150 days following the closing of the Transaction only in the event that

Approval of New Advisory Agreements and New Subadvisory Agreements (continued)

stockholders have not approved the respective New Subadvisory Agreement prior to such time.

In considering the approval of the New Subadvisory Agreement between IQ Advisors and each Subadviser, the Directors received and discussed various materials provided to them in advance of the meetings which included, among other things, a copy of the form of New Subadvisory Agreement, the materials the Directors had received in connection with their consideration and approval of the continuation of the Current Subadvisory Agreements for each Fund (other than for MLP Fund) at the June 5, 2008 Board meeting, and additional materials presented at the November 11, 2008 Board meeting in connection with the New Agreements, including due diligence materials from IQ Advisors and a report and presentation on the Transaction and its potential impact on the services provided to the Funds. In addition, the Directors considered materials received at previous meetings of the Directors regarding the Funds.

In considering whether to approve the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Directors reviewed materials from counsel to the Funds and from IQ Advisors and the Subadvisers including, as applicable: (i) information concerning the services rendered to the Funds by the Subadvisers; (ii) information concerning the revenues and expenses incurred by the Subadvisers from the operation of the Funds; (iii) a memorandum outlining the legal duties of the Directors under the 1940 Act; and (iv) information from Lipper comparing each Fund’s fee rate for advisory and administrative services to those of other closed-end funds chosen by Lipper. Each New Subadvisory Agreement was considered separately by the Directors.

The Directors considered and discussed, among other things, the following factors in approving the New Subadvisory Agreements and Interim Subadvisory Agreements:

(a) Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Subadvisers — In reviewing the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Directors referred to the materials presented and discussions held in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Current Subadvisory Agreement for each respective Fund (other than MLP Fund) at the June 5, 2008 Board meeting, and additional materials presented at the November 11, 2008 Board meeting in connection with the New Advisory Agreements. The Directors focused on the experience of the Subadvisers in managing registered funds. The Directors considered the reputation and investment experience of the Subadvisers and their investment professionals who have served as portfolio managers and would continue to serve as portfolio managers. The Directors noted that it had met with officers of IQ Advisors and members of each Subadviser’s portfolio management team to discuss the management of each Fund’s investments at recent Board meetings. The Directors took into account the annual due diligence investment review of each Subadviser to a currently operating Fund and the report presented at a prior meeting that concluded that each such Subadviser has thus far executed its respective Fund’s investment strategies in accordance with the Fund’s objectives and general expectations. The Directors noted that it had discussed each Fund’s investment strategy with representatives from the respective Subadviser, including discussions regarding the premises underlying the Fund’s investment strategy, its efficacy and potential risks. The Directors also considered the favorable history, reputation and background of each Subadviser and its personnel, and the substantial experience of such Subadviser’s portfolio management team. The Directors considered the compliance program of each Subadviser and the report of the chief compliance officer of the Funds. Following consideration of this information, and based on management presentations during the November 11, 2008 and June 5, 2008 Board meetings, the Directors concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund by the applicable Subadviser under the Current Subadvisory Agreement were of a high quality and would continue to benefit the respective Fund. The Directors considered that the same services would be provided by the same personnel pursuant to the New Subadvisory Agreements.

(b) Investment Performance of each Fund and each Subadviser — The Directors had received and considered information about the investment performance of each Fund that is currently operating in light of its stated investment objective and made the determinations discussed above under “Investment Performance of each Fund and IQ Advisors.” As a result of their discussions and review, the Directors concluded that the performance of each currently operating Fund was satisfactory.

(c) Cost of Services Provided and Profits Realized by each Subadviser from the Relationship with each respective Fund — The Directors considered the profitability to BlackRock, a subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., by serving as Subadviser to two Funds and from its relationship with IQ Advisors based on the information discussed above under “Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by IQ Advisors and its Affiliates from the Relationship with each Fund.” Based on such information, the Directors concluded that BlackRock’s profits were acceptable in relation to the nature, extent and quality of services provided. The Directors noted that profitability data was not provided with respect to the other Subadvisers of the Funds and concluded that such data was unnecessary because such subadvisory arrangements were entered into at “arm’s length” between IQ Advisors and

each such Subadviser (including NAM and Nuveen HydePark, with which subadvisory arrangements were originally negotiated prior to the investment in their parent company by an affiliate of IQ Advisors). The Directors then considered the potential direct and indirect benefits to each Subadviser and its affiliates from their relationship with each of their respective Funds, including the reputational benefits from managing the Funds. The Directors concluded that the potential benefits to each Subadviser were consistent with those obtained by other subadvisers in similar types of arrangements.

(d) Extent to which Economies of Scale would be Realized as a Fund Grows and Whether Fee Levels would Reflect such Economies of Scale — The Directors received and considered information about potential economies of scale at the November 11, 2008 and June 5, 2008 Board meetings and made the determinations discussed above under “Extent to which Economies of Scale would be Realized as a Fund Grows and Whether Fee Levels would Reflect such Economies of Scale.”

Taking into account the totality of the information and materials provided to them at the November 11, 2008, June 5, 2008, and at other prior Board meetings, the Directors determined that no changes were currently necessary to each Fund’s fee structure.

(e) Comparison of services rendered and fees paid to those under other subadvisory contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisers or other clients — The Directors considered representations by IQ Advisors that there would be no change in the allocation of the fees between IQ Advisors and Subadvisers in relation to the services provided by a Subadviser, as a result of the Transaction. In considering the compensation to be paid to the Subadvisers, noting that no changes to such compensation from that payable under the Current Subadvisory Agreements were proposed, the Directors referred to the materials presented and discussions held in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Current Subadvisory Agreement for the respective Fund (other than for MLP Fund), and additional materials presented at the November 11, 2008 Board meeting in connection with the New Advisory Agreements. The Directors noted that, in connection with such considerations, the Directors had received and reviewed fee comparison data from Lipper (which included information regarding the fees paid by certain investment advisers to subadvisers of peer funds), and concluded that such information continued to be relevant to their current deliberations. The Directors received and reviewed fee comparison data from Lipper for MLP Fund at the November 11, 2008 Board meeting. In reviewing that data, the Directors noted that the subadvisory fee with respect to each Fund was at a level that continued to be reasonable and similar to that of comparable funds.

The Directors discussed the services rendered by each Subadviser and determined that such services were consistent with those provided by subadvisers generally and sufficient for the management of the Funds. Taking into account the totality of the information and materials provided to them at the Board meetings held on November 11, 2008 and June 5, 2008 and at other prior Board meetings, among other things, the fact that the subadvisory fees were negotiated by IQ Advisors on an arm’s length basis, the Directors concluded that the subadvisory fees proposed under each New Subadvisory Agreement continued to be reasonable for the services being rendered.

(f) Conclusion — The Directors examined the totality of the information they were provided at the November 11, 2008 and June 5, 2008 Board meetings and did not identify any single factor discussed previously as controlling. The Directors concluded that the terms of each New Subadvisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the Subadvisers’ fees are reasonable for the services provided to each Fund, and that each New Subadvisory Agreement should be approved and recommended to stockholders.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan

How the Plan Works — The Fund offers a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) under which distributions paid by the Fund are automatically reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock of the Fund. The Plan is administered on behalf of the shareholders by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services (the “Plan Agent”). Under the Plan, whenever the Fund declares a distribution, participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares of Common Stock of the Fund. The Plan Agent will acquire the shares for the participant’s account either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized shares of the Fund (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares of Common Stock on the open market on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the distribution payment date, the Fund’s net asset value per share is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (a condition often referred to as a “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the distribution amount in newly issued shares. If the Fund’s net asset value per share is greater than the market price per share (a condition often referred to as a “market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the distribution amount by purchasing on the open market additional shares. If the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full distribution amount in open market purchases, or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agent will invest any uninvested portion in newly issued shares. The shares acquired are credited to each shareholder’s account. The amount credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution by either (i) when the shares are newly issued, the net asset value per share on the date the shares are issued or (ii) when shares are purchased in the open market, the average purchase price per share.

Participation in the Plan — Participation in the Plan is automatic, that is, a shareholder is automatically enrolled in the Plan when he or she purchases shares of Common Stock of the Fund unless the shareholder specifically elects not to participate in the Plan. Shareholders who elect not to participate will receive all distributions in cash. Shareholders who do not wish to participate in the Plan, must advise the Plan Agent in writing (at the address set forth below) that they elect not to participate in the Plan. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by writing to the Plan Agent.

Benefits of the Plan — The Plan provides an easy, convenient way for shareholders to make additional, regular investments in the Fund. The Plan promotes a long-term strategy of investing at a lower cost. All shares acquired pursuant to the Plan receive voting rights. In addition, if the market price plus commissions of the Fund’s shares is above the net asset value, participants in the Plan will receive shares of the Fund for less than they could otherwise purchase them and with a cash value greater than the value of any cash distribution they would have received. However, there may not be enough shares available in the market to make distributions in shares at prices below the net asset value. Also, since the Fund does not redeem shares, the price on resale may be more or less than the net asset value.

Plan Fees — There are no enrollment fees or brokerage fees for participating in the Plan. The Plan Agent’s service fees for handling the reinvestment of distributions are paid for by the Fund. However, brokerage commissions may be incurred when the Fund purchases shares on the open market and shareholders will pay a pro rata share of any such commissions.

Tax Implications — The automatic reinvestment of distributions will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such distributions. Therefore, income and capital gains may still be realized even though shareholders do not receive cash. If, when the Fund’s shares are trading at a market premium, the Fund issues shares pursuant to the Plan that have a greater fair market value than the amount of cash reinvested, it is possible that all or a portion of the discount from the market value (which may not exceed 5% of the fair market value of the Fund’s shares) could be viewed as a taxable distribution. If the discount is viewed as a taxable distribution, it is also possible that the taxable character of this discount would be allocable to all the shareholders, including shareholders who do not participate in the Plan. Thus, shareholders who do not participate in the Plan might be required to report as ordinary income a portion of their distributions equal to their allocable share of the discount.

Privacy Pledge

Below is a summary of the Merrill Lynch Global Privacy Pledge, as it pertains to the IQ Funds’ shareholders. A full copy of the pledge is available at www.iqiafunds.com or upon request by calling 1-877-449-4742.

To whom and what does this Pledge apply?

This Pledge covers the personal information of current and former individual clients of Merrill Lynch and certain affiliates, including IQ Investment Advisors LLC (“IQ”), the investment adviser to the IQ family of registered closed-end investment companies (“IQ Funds”). In addition, this Pledge covers the personal information of other individuals with whom Merrill Lynch has an existing or prospective relationship where either (a) such protection is required by applicable laws, rules or regulations; or (b) a Merrill Lynch company has made a separate and specific commitment to that effect. In this Pledge, “personal information” refers to (a) any information relating to an identified individual; or (b) any nonpublic personal information. Shareholders of the IQ Funds are covered by this Pledge.

The Merrill Lynch family of companies is now part of the Bank of America family of companies. When used herein, “we,” “our” and “us” refer only to the Merrill Lynch family of companies and does not explain how the other Bank of America companies manage customer information and what actions you can take regarding how the other Bank of America companies use and share your information. Please visit www.bankofamerica.com/privacy for more information on the policy of the other Bank of America companies.

What personal information do we collect and how do we collect it?

Based on our relationship with you, we collect personal information from and about you that is adequate, relevant and appropriate under the circumstances. For example, we may collect or verify personal information from or about you in the following ways:

 

 

From applications; forms; communications (including electronic communications) and other interactions (information including your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, Social Security or other identification number, income, assets, financial goals, interests, source of funds and investment objectives);

 

 

From your transactions made with or by a Merrill Lynch company;

 

 

From entities outside of the Merrill Lynch corporate family (“nonaffiliated third parties”), information including your creditworthiness/credit history and identity. These non-affiliated third parties include consumer/credit-reporting agencies; joint marketing partners; verification services; loan servicers or originators; entities to which we provide stock option and 401(k) plan services; entities that provide us with mailing lists; and public reference sources including the Internet. In the case of insurance, we may, pursuant to your consent or as otherwise permitted, obtain motor vehicle reports or medical information; and

 

 

From visits to our websites, information including certain technical information about your computer and operating systems.

How do we use personal information?

We use personal information to operate our business in a prudent manner. This may include, depending on your relationship with us, using it to evaluate financial needs; offer a broad range of products and services; deliver integrated financial services; process, service and maintain accounts and transactions; respond to inquiries and requests; fulfill our obligations to you; verify income, asset and obligation information; resolve disputes; prevent fraud; monitor and archive communications; and perform risk control. Additionally, we may use your personal information to verify your identity, including, where applicable, verification in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act or to comply with legal and regulatory requirements around the world, and in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Where permitted and appropriate, we may also use personal information for Merrill Lynch’s marketing, product research, business development and/or global relationship management purposes, and may contact you in this regard.

SMALL CAP PREMIUM & DIVIDEND INCOME FUND INC.

DECEMBER 31, 2008



 


 

Privacy Pledge (continued)

What personal information do we share internally among the Bank of America companies and Merrill Lynch companies and why do we share it?

In connection with the uses described above, we may, depending on the nature of your relationship with us, share some or all of your personal information with any Bank of America company and Merrill Lynch company, including broker-dealers, investment advisors, investment managers, transfer agents, banks, insurance companies and agencies, trust companies and mortgage originators or bankers.

What personal information do we share externally with nonaffiliated third parties and why do we share it?

In connection with the uses described above, we may, depending on the nature of your relationship with us, share some or all of the personal information we collect with non-affiliated third parties. These nonaffiliated third parties may be financial service providers (such as securities broker-dealers, banks or insurance companies), intermediaries (such as SWIFT, a global provider of secure financial messaging services), non-financial companies (such as consumer reporting agencies or technology companies) or others (such as professional services organizations or other service providers). Where you have a contractual relationship with a third party, the handling of your information by that party will be subject to your agreement(s) with it.

In addition, Merrill Lynch has entered into a Protocol with certain other brokerage firms under which your Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor (if applicable) may use your contact information (for example, your name and address) in the event your Financial Advisor joins one of these firms.

If you have a relationship with us through your employer, such as through your stock option or 401(k) plan, then we will share certain plan and transaction information related to your plan activity with your employer pursuant to the terms of the plan agreements. We will limit the use of this information in accordance with our agreements with the plan or employer.

We may also transfer personal information (a) to government agencies and other self-regulatory organizations, and regulatory and law enforcement authorities as necessary or required (for example, in the context of their investigation of terrorism, money laundering and other serious forms of organized crime); (b) as part of the sale, merger or other disposition of a Merrill Lynch business; and (c) to other non-affiliated third parties as requested by you or your authorized representative, or as permitted or required by law, rule and/or regulation. These third parties may be located in your country or in other countries, which may not have equivalent data protection laws to those in your country.

How do we protect the confidentiality and security of personal information?

 

 

We educate our employees to treat personal information with care, and work to limit access to this information to individuals who need it for the purposes stated in this Pledge.

 

 

We maintain and monitor our physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to comply with applicable regulations, updating them as needed to protect personal information.

 

 

We take such technical and organizational security measures as we deem appropriate to keep personal information confidential and secure against unauthorized or unlawful processing, and to prevent loss, destruction or damage.

How can you verify that your personal information is accurate?

We endeavor to (a) keep personal information only for so long as is necessary for business purposes or to meet legal and regulatory requirements; and (b) keep our records of your personal information current and complete.

If you become aware of any discrepancies in your personal information, please contact your Financial Advisor, or contact us at the phone number or address set forth at the end of this Pledge, and we will make the necessary corrections. Note that, in some cases, if you are an online client with us, certain information may also be corrected via the Merrill Lynch secure/password-protected Web sites. Please do not send any personal information via nonsecure methods of communication.

Fundamental Periodic Repurchase Policy

The Board of Directors approved a fundamental policy whereby the Fund would adopt an “interval fund” structure pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). As an interval fund, the Fund will make annual repurchase offers at net asset value (less repurchase fee not to exceed 2%) to all Fund shareholders. The percentage of outstanding shares that the Fund can repurchase in each offer will be established by the Fund’s Board of Directors shortly before the commencement of each offer, and will be between 5% and 25% of the Fund’s then outstanding shares.

The Fund has adopted the following fundamental policy regarding periodic repurchases:

a) The Fund will make offers to repurchase its shares at annual (approximately 12-month) intervals pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act (“Offers”). The Board of Directors may place such conditions and limitations on an Offer, as may be permitted under Rule 23c-3.

b) The repurchase request deadline for each Offer, by which the Fund must receive repurchase requests submitted by shareholders in response to the most recent Offer, will be on approximately the anniversary of the prior year’s repurchase request deadline; and will be the fourteenth day prior to such exercise date; provided, that in the event that such day is not a business day, the repurchase request deadline will be the business day subsequent to the fourteenth day prior to the exercise date of the call spreads and written call options (the “Repurchase Request Deadline”).

c) The maximum number of days between a Repurchase Request Deadline and the next repurchase pricing date will be fourteen days; provided that if the fourteenth day after a Repurchase Request Deadline is not a business day, the repurchase pricing date shall be the next business day (the “Repurchase Pricing Date”).

d) Offers may be suspended or postponed under certain circumstances, as provided for in Rule 23c-3. (For further details, see Note 4 to the Financial Statements.)

Under the terms of the Offer for the most recent annual period, the Fund offered to purchase up to 682,225 shares from shareholders at an amount per share equal to the Fund’s net asset value per share calculated as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange on July 18, 2008, nine business days after Monday, July 7, 2008, the Repurchase Request Deadline. As of July 18, 2008, 206,725 shares, or 1.52% of the Fund’s outstanding shares, were repurchased by the Fund at $15.08 per share (subject to a repurchase fee of up to 2% of the net asset value per share), the Fund’s net asset value per share was determined as of 4:00 p.m. EST, Friday, July 18, 2008.

Item 2 –

Code of Ethics – The registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions.

Item 3 –

Audit Committee Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of directors has determined that (i) the registrant has the following audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee and (ii) the audit committee financial expert is independent: (1) Steven W. Kohlhagen.

 

 

 

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification.

1 The nature of the services include assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit of financial statements not included in Audit Fees.

2 The nature of the services include tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

 

 

 

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:

 

 

 

          The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrant’s affiliated service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). However, such services will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $5,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the Committee oversees. Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting.



 

 

 

(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

 

 

 

(f) Not Applicable

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by the registrant’s investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5 –

Audit Committee of Listed Registrants – The following individuals are members of the registrant’s separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)):

Effective January 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1(a) of the Notes to Financial Statements.

(iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest

 

 

 

Real, potential or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day portfolio management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or account, including the following:

 

 

 

BlackRock has built a professional working environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and systems designed to protect against potential incentives that may favor one account over another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such fees), which may be the same as or different from those made to the Fund. In addition, BlackRock, its affiliates and significant shareholders and any officer, director, stockholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director, stockholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with respect to the same securities. Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any of BlackRock’s (or its affiliates’ or significant shareholders’) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public information. Each portfolio manager also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a fund. In this connection, it should be noted that Ms. Jelilian and Messrs. Russo and McClements each currently manage certain accounts that are subject to performance fees. In addition, a portfolio manager may assist in managing certain hedge funds and may be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such funds and a portion of such incentive fees may be voluntarily or involuntarily deferred. Additional portfolio managers may in the future manage other such accounts or funds and may be entitled to receive incentive fees.

 

 

 

As a fiduciary, BlackRock owes a duty of loyalty to its clients and must treat each client fairly. When BlackRock purchases or sells securities for more than one account, the trades must be allocated in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. BlackRock attempts to allocate investments in a fair and equitable manner among client accounts, with no account receiving preferential treatment. To this end, BlackRock has adopted a policy that is intended to ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among client accounts over time. This policy also seeks to achieve reasonable efficiency in client transactions and provide BlackRock with sufficient flexibility to allocate investments in a manner that is consistent with the particular investment discipline and client base.

 

 

 

(a)(3) As of December 31, 2008:

 

 

 

Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview



 

 

 

BlackRock’s financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive compensation and its career path emphasis at all levels reflect the value senior management places on key resources. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation include a base salary, a performance-based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock such as its Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan and Restricted Stock Program.

 

 

 

Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their seniority and/or their position with the firm. Senior portfolio managers who perform additional management functions within the portfolio management group or within BlackRock may receive additional compensation for serving in these other capacities.

 

 

 

Discretionary Incentive Compensation

 

 

 

Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance of BlackRock, Inc., the performance of the portfolio manager’s group within BlackRock, the investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firm’s assets under management or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined benchmarks, and the individual’s seniority, role within the portfolio management team, teamwork and contribution to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, including for the portfolio managers of the Fund, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to the portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the Funds include the following:


 

 

 

Portfolio Manager

 

Benchmarks Applicable to Each Manager

 

 

 

Debra L. Jelilian

 

A combination of market-based indices (e.g., The S&P 400 Index, Russell 2000 Index), certain customized indices and certain fund industry peer groups.

 

 

 

Jeff L. Russo

 

A combination of market-based indices (e.g., The S&P 400 Index, Russell 2000 Index), certain customized indices and certain fund industry peer groups.

 

 

 

Kyle G. McClements

 

A combination of Lipper peer groups and a subset of other closed-end funds.


 

 

 

BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to the portfolio managers’ compensation based on the performance of the funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various benchmarks noted above. Performance is measured on a pre-tax basis over various time periods including 1, 3 and 5-year periods, as applicable.

 

 

 

Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation

 

 

 

Discretionary incentive compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination of cash and BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units which vest ratably over a number of years. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, if properly vested, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash bonus, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of annual bonuses in stock puts compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a given year “at risk” based on BlackRock’s ability to sustain and improve its performance over future periods.



 

 

 

          Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) — The LTIP is a long-term incentive plan that seeks to reward certain key employees. Prior to 2006, the plan provided for the grant of awards that were expressed as an amount of cash that, if properly vested and subject to the attainment of certain performance goals, will be settled in cash and/or in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Beginning in 2006, awards are granted under the LTIP in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, if properly vested and subject to the attainment of certain performance goals, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Each portfolio manager has received awards under the LTIP.


 

 

 

          Deferred Compensation Program — A portion of the compensation paid to eligible BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firm’s investment products. Each participant in the deferred compensation program is permitted to allocate his deferred amounts among the various investment options. Each portfolio manager has participated in the deferred compensation program.

 

 

 

Other compensation benefits. In addition to base compensation and discretionary incentive compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive or participate in one or more of the following:

 

 

 

          Incentive Savings Plans — BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50% of the first 6% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $4,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3% of eligible compensation, plus an additional contribution of 2% for any year in which BlackRock has positive net operating income. The RSP offers a range of investment options, including registered investment companies managed by the firm. BlackRock contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent employee investment direction, are invested into a balanced portfolio. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of 1,000 shares or a dollar value of $25,000. Each portfolio manager is eligible to participate in these plans.

 

 

 

(a)(4) Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of December 31, 2008, none of Ms. Jelilian, Mr. Russo or Mr. McClements beneficially owned any stock issued by the Fund.
