A report may indicate that the Adviser or Subadviser, as the case may be, “did note vote” in a particular proposal. No vote was entered for a proposal where (a) certain restrictions or pre-conditions on voting may, if followed, have adversely affected investment management of the fund’s portfolio holdings, such as “share blocking rules” that prohibit sales during the shareholder solicitation and voting process, (b) potential material conflicts of interest arising from proxy proposals were identified by the CAM Proxy Voting Committee, (c) administrative or operational constraints impeded the ability to cast a timely vote, such as late receipt of proxy voting information, and/or (d) systems or processing errors occurred (including errors by third party vendors).
