INFORMATION REGARDING THE FUND’S DISTRIBUTION POLICY
 
The SunAmerica Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) has established a dividend distribution policy (the “Distribution Policy”) pursuant to which the Fund makes a level dividend distribution each quarter to shareholders of its common stock (after payment of interest on any outstanding borrowings or dividends on any outstanding preferred shares) at a rate that is based on a fixed amount per share as determined by the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”), subject to adjustment in the fourth quarter, as necessary, so that the Fund satisfies the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As of the most recent quarterly dividend distribution paid on June 25, 2009, the fixed amount of the quarterly dividend distribution was $0.05 per share. Pursuant to an exemptive order (the “Order”) issued to the Fund by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 3, 2009, the Fund may distribute long-term capital gains more frequently than the limits provided in Section 19(b) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and Rule 19b-1 thereunder. Therefore, dividend distributions paid by the Fund during the year may include net income, short-term capital gains, long-term capital gains and/or return of capital. If the total distributions made in any calendar year exceed investment company taxable income and net capital gain, such excess distributed amount would be treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions in excess of the earnings and profits would first be a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the adjusted tax basis in the shares. After such adjusted tax basis is reduced to zero, the distribution would constitute capital gain (assuming the shares are held as capital assets). A return of capital represents a return of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund and should not be confused with “yield,” “income” or “profit.” Shareholders will receive a notice with each dividend distribution, if required by Section 19(a) under the 1940 Act, estimating the sources of such dividend distribution and providing other information required by the Order. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Distribution Policy.
 
The Board has the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Distribution Policy at any time without prior notice to shareholders. The Board might take such action, for example, if the Distribution Policy had the effect of decreasing the Fund’s assets to a level that was determined to be detrimental to Fund shareholders. An amendment, suspension or termination of the Distribution Policy could have a negative effect on the Fund’s market price per share which, in turn could create or widen a trading discount. Please see Note 2 to the financial statements included in this report for additional information regarding the Distribution Policy.
 
The Fund is also subject to investment and market risk. An economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on its investments, and could result in the Fund not achieving its investment or distribution objectives, which may affect the distribution. Please refer to the prospectus for a fuller description of the Fund’s risks.

    June 30, 2009 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
 

Shareholders’ Letter
 
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
We are pleased to present this semi-annual report for the SunAmerica Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund (the “Fund”) covering a six-month period that continued to be challenging for equity investors, albeit with a few glimmers of positive economic data, an upturn in investor sentiment, and improved returns across most major equity indices.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund’s total return based on net asset value (NAV) was 0.91%. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Index1, returned 4.32% during the same period. The Fund’s total return based on market price was -1.37% during the semi-annual period. As of June 30, 2009, the Fund’s NAV was $12.22, and its market price was $9.92.
 
The six months ended June 30, 2009 were a tale of two distinct periods for the equity markets. The major U.S. equity markets opened 2009 with sharp losses, as the deepening credit crisis, disappointing corporate earnings, rising unemployment and a contracting economy put downward pressure on stocks. Weakness in the financial sector in the last months of 2008 spilled into 2009, as the nation’s largest money center banks experienced an extremely challenging period. As the first quarter progressed, headlines continued to focus on the relative health of banks as well as on the likely political response to the ongoing recession.
 
Then, as economic data seemed to indicate a deceleration in the pace of the economic slowdown, the U.S. equity markets jumped from their early-March lows and rallied. For the second quarter, overall, the Dow Jones Industrial Index saw its best quarterly gain since the fourth quarter of 2003 and the S&P 500 Index experienced its biggest gain since the fourth quarter of 1998. Throughout the semi-annual period, the Federal Reserve Board maintained its highly accommodative stance by keeping the targeted federal funds rate anchored between 0% and 0.25%.
 
In terms of industry groups, Information Technology and Energy were the best relative performers during the semi-annual period overall, while the Consumer Staples group was the principal detractor. From a capitalization perspective, mid-cap companies performed best, followed by small-cap companies. In a complete reversal from 2008, growth stocks significantly outpaced value stocks across the capitalization spectrum.
 
As you know, the Fund is a unique offering for two major reasons.
 
  •  First, the Fund is set apart from its competitors in the marketplace by its multi-managed, focused approach in a closed-end fund structure. Two of Wall Street’s best known equity managers, Marsico Capital Management LLC (“Marsico”) and BlackRock Investment Management (“BlackRock”), and their respective teams, each contribute stock picks to the Fund. Tom Marsico and his team emphasize large-cap growth investing, while BlackRock’s Bob Doll and his team favor a large-cap value investment style.
 
  •  Second, the Fund managers’ combined stock picks, blending large-cap growth and large-cap value, are designed to offer the potential for attractive returns over the long term. While the Fund underperformed its benchmark index during the semi-annual period due primarily to its large-cap value holdings, it is important to remember that over time and by design, blending the different investment styles of these two proven managers is intended to help the Fund meet its investment objective.
 
Clearly, maintaining a long-term perspective is a basic tenet of effective investing for both managers and investors at all times. We continue to believe that equity investments are an important component of a long-term diversified investment plan.
 
We value your ongoing confidence in us and look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.
 
Sincerely,
 
-s- Peter A. Harbeck
 
Peter A. Harbeck
President and CEO
SunAmerica Asset Management Corp.
 
 
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

  barometer for the large-cap segment and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. The Russell 1000 Index includes the largest 1,000 securities in the Russell 3000 Index. Indices are not managed and an investor cannot invest directly into an index.
 
Investors should carefully consider the SunAmerica Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund’s investment objective, strategies, risks, charges and expenses before investing. The Fund should be considered as only one element of a complete investment program. The Fund’s equity exposure and derivative investments involve special risks. An investment in this Fund should be considered speculative. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives. The Fund is actively managed and its portfolio composition will vary. Investing in the Fund is subject to several risks, including: Non-Diversified Status Risk, Growth and Value Stock Risk, Key Adviser Personnel Risk, Investment and Market Risk, Issuer Risk, Foreign Securities Risk, Emerging Markets Risk, Income Risk, Hedging Strategy Risk, Derivatives Risk, Preferred Securities Risk, Debt Securities Risk, Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk, Leverage Risk, Liquidity Risk, Market Price of Shares Risk, Management Risk, Anti-Takeover Provisions Risk, Portfolio Turnover Risk and Non-Investment Grade Securities Risk. The price of shares of the Fund traded on the New York Stock Exchange will fluctuate with market conditions and may be worth more or less than their original offering price. Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset value, but may also trade at a premium.

Total return is not annualized.
*
Amounts for net investment income, net realized gains on investments and return of capital are estimated as of June 30, 2009 and are subject to change and recharacterization at fiscal year end.
Due to commencing operations on December 28, 2005, the ratio of expenses and ratio of net investment income are not annualized. If the ratios were annualized, the ratio of expenses and the ratio of net investment income would have been 3.07% and 0.38%, respectively. The ratios are not representative of a full year of operations.
(1)
Net asset value, beginning of the period, reflects a deduction of $0.90 per share sales change from the initial offering price of $20.00.
(2)
Based on the net asset value per share, dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. NAV performance reflects performance without imposition of initial sales charge in connection with the initial public offering of the Fund and would be lower if included.
(3)
Based on market value per share, dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan.
(4)
The Fund’s performance figure was increased by 0.11% from gains on the disposal of investments in violation of investment restrictions.
(5)
Excludes expense reductions. If expense reductions had been applied, the ratio of expenses and net investment income to average net assets would have remained the same.

SunAmerica Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — June 30, 2009 — (unaudited)
 
 
Note 1.  Organization of the Fund
 
SunAmerica Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company. The Fund’s shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol FGI. The Fund was organized as a Maryland corporation on September 7, 2005 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Fund sold 5,236 of its common stock shares (“Shares”) on November 14, 2005 to SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. (the “Adviser” or “SunAmerica”)*. Investment operations commenced on December 28, 2005 upon settlement of the sale of 9,650,000 Shares in the amount of $184,315,000 (net of underwriting fees and expenses of $8,685,000). SunAmerica paid certain organizational expenses of the Fund and the offering costs of the Fund to the extent they exceeded $.04 per share of the Fund’s common stock.
 
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide growth of capital. The Fund seeks to pursue this objective by employing a concentrated stock picking strategy in which the Fund, through subadvisers selected by the Adviser, actively invests primarily in a small number of equity securities (i.e., common stocks) of large-capitalization companies and to a lesser extent in equity-related securities (i.e., preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and rights) of large-capitalization companies primarily in the U.S. markets. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, in large-capitalization companies.
 
Indemnifications: The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former officers and directors with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, pursuant to Indemnification Agreements between the Fund and each of the current directors who is not an “interested person,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Fund (collectively, the “Disinterested Directors”), the Fund provides the Disinterested Directors with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund, whether such liabilities are asserted during or after their service as directors. In addition, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain the obligation to indemnify others. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. Currently, however, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Note 2.  Significant Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:
 
Security Valuation: Stocks are generally valued based upon closing sales prices reported on recognized securities exchanges. Stocks listed on the NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Generally, the NOCP will be the last sale price unless the reported trade for the stock is outside the range of the bid/ask price. In such cases, the NOCP will be normalized to the nearer of the bid or ask price. For listed securities having no sales reported and for unlisted securities, such securities will be valued based upon the last reported bid price.
 
As of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, securities traded primarily on security exchanges outside the U.S. are valued at the last sale price on such exchanges on the day of valuation, or if there is no sale on the day of valuation, at the last-reported bid price. If a security’s price is available from more than one exchange, the Fund uses the exchange that is the primary market for the security. However, depending on the foreign market, closing prices may be up to 15 hours old when they are used to price the Fund’s shares, and the Fund may determine that certain closing prices are unreliable. This determination will be based on review of a number of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. If the Fund determines that closing prices do not reflect the fair value of the securities, the Fund will adjust the previous closing prices in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board” or the “Directors”) to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of regular

Effective April 1, 2009, AIG SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. changed its name to SunAmerica Asset Management Corp.

trading on the NYSE. The Fund may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but the Fund is open. For foreign equity securities, the Fund uses an outside pricing service to provide it with closing market prices and information used for adjusting those prices.
 
Short-term securities with 60 days or less to maturity are amortized to maturity based on their cost to the Fund if acquired within 60 days of maturity or, if already held by the Fund on the 60th day, are amortized to maturity based on the value determined on the 61st day.
 
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or if a development/significant event occurs that may significantly impact the value of the security, then these securities are valued, as determined pursuant to procedures adopted in good faith by the Board. There is no single standard for making fair value determinations, which may result in prices that vary from those of other funds.
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
 
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, quoted prices in inactive markets, etc.)
 
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (includes inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security, developed based on the best information available under the circumstances).
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of June 30, 2009 are reported on a schedule following the Portfolio of Investments.
 
Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. When the Fund enters into a repurchase agreement the Fund’s custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark to market basis to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least 102% of the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, a Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2009, the Fund did not invest in any repurchase agreements.
 
Securities Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is accrued daily except when collection is not expected. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date. Foreign income and capital gains may be subject to foreign withholding taxes and capital gains taxes at various rates. Under applicable foreign law, a withholding of tax may be imposed on interest, dividends, and capital gains at various rates. Interest earned on cash balances held at the custodian are shown as custody credits on the Statement of Operations.
 
The Fund has adopted a distribution policy (the “Distribution Policy”) under which the Fund will pay level quarterly dividend distributions, subject to an adjusting dividend distribution in the fourth quarter as described below. The Distribution Policy and the dividend distribution rate may be terminated or modified at any time. The Fund intends to pay a level quarterly

amount in each of the first three quarters of the calendar year and increase, if necessary, the amount payable for the fourth quarter to an amount expected to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each quarter the Board will review the amount of any potential dividend distribution and the income, capital gains and capital available. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an order to the Fund and SunAmerica granting exemptive relief from section 19(b) of the 1940 Act and rule 19b-1 thereunder, to permit the Fund to make multiple long-term capital gains distributions per year under the Distribution Policy. A portion of the dividend distribution may be treated as ordinary income (derived from short-term capital gains) and qualifying dividend income for individuals. If the total distributions made in any calendar year exceed investment company taxable income and net capital gain, such excess distributed amount would be treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions in excess of the earnings and profits would first be a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the adjusted tax basis in the shares. After such adjusted tax basis is reduced to zero, the distribution would constitute capital gain (assuming the shares are held as capital assets). A return of capital represents a return of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund and should not be confused with “yield,” “income” or “profit.” The final determination of the source of all dividend distributions in 2009 will be made after year-end. The payment of dividend distributions in accordance with the Distribution Policy may result in a decrease in the Fund’s net assets. A decrease in the Fund’s net assets may cause an increase in the Fund’s annual operating expenses and a decrease in the Fund’s market price per share to the extent the market price correlates closely to the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Distribution Policy may also negatively affect the Fund’s investment activities to the extent that the Fund is required to hold larger cash positions than it typically would hold or to the extent that the Fund must liquidate securities that it would not have sold or hold securities that it would liquidate, for the purpose of paying the dividend distribution. The Distribution Policy may, under certain circumstances, result in the amounts of taxable distributions to exceed the levels required to be distributed under the Code (i.e., to the extent the Fund has capital losses in any taxable year, such losses may be carried forward to reduce the amount of capital gains required to be distributed in future years if distributions in a year exceed the amount minimally required to be distributed under the tax rules, such excess will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent loss carryforwards reduce the required amount of capital gains in that year). The Fund’s Board has the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Distribution Policy at any time. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Dividend Distribution Policy could have a negative effect on the Fund’s market price per share. Shareholders of shares of the Fund held in taxable accounts who receive a dividend distribution (including shareholders who reinvest in shares of the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s dividend reinvestment policy) must adjust the cost basis to the extent that a dividend distribution contains a nontaxable return of capital. Investors should consult their tax adviser regarding federal, state and local tax considerations that may be applicable in their particular circumstances.
 
The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Code, applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute all of their taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal tax provisions are required. The Fund files U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns. With few exceptions, the Fund is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state examinations by tax authorities for tax years ending before 2005.
 
Note 3.  Investment Advisory and Management Agreement
 
Pursuant to its Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) with the Fund, SunAmerica manages the affairs of the Fund, and selects, supervises and compensates the subadvisers to manage the Fund’s assets. SunAmerica monitors the compliance of the subadvisers with the investment objective and related policies of the Fund, reviews the performance of the subadvisers, and reports periodically on such performance to the Directors. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Fund will pay SunAmerica a monthly fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily total assets of the Fund.
 
SunAmerica has engaged Marsico Capital Management, LLC (“Marsico”), an independently owned investment management firm, and Blackrock Investment Management, LLC (“Blackrock”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackrock Inc., as the subadvisers to the Fund (the “Subadvisers”) to manage the investment and reinvestment of the Fund’s assets. Pursuant to the subadvisory agreements (“Subadvisory Agreements”) among SunAmerica, the Fund and Marsico and Blackrock, respectively, Marsico and Blackrock select the investments made by the Fund. Marsico manages the large-cap growth portion of the Fund and Blackrock manages the large-cap value portion of the Fund. Pursuant to the Subadvisory

Agreements, SunAmerica and not the Fund, pays each of the subadvisers a fee at the annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily total assets allocated to each subadvisor.
 
SunAmerica serves as administrator to the Fund. Under the Administrative Services Agreement, SunAmerica is responsible for performing or supervising the performance by others of administrative services in connection with the operations of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board. SunAmerica will provide the Fund with administrative services, regulatory reporting, all necessary office space, equipment, personnel and facilities for handling the affairs of the Fund. SunAmerica’s administrative services include recordkeeping, supervising the activities of the Fund’s custodian and transfer agent, providing assistance in connection with the Directors’ and shareholders’ meetings and other administrative services necessary to conduct the Fund’s affairs. For its services as administrator, SunAmerica is paid a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.04% of the Fund’s average daily total assets.
 
On March 4, 2009, American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), the ultimate parent of SunAmerica, issued and sold to the AIG Credit Facility Trust, a trust established for the sole benefit of the United States Treasury (the “Trust”), 100,000 shares of AIG’s Series C Perpetual, Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock (the “Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000, with an understanding that additional and independently sufficient consideration was also furnished to AIG by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “FRBNY”) in the form of its lending commitment (the “Credit Facility”) under the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2008, between AIG and the FRBNY. The Stock has preferential liquidation rights over AIG common stock, and, to the extent permitted by law, votes with AIG’s common stock on all matters submitted to AIG’s shareholders. The Trust has approximately 79.9% of the aggregate voting power of AIG’s common stock and is entitled to approximately 79.9% of all dividends paid on AIG’s common stock, in each case treating the Stock as if converted. The Stock will remain outstanding even if the Credit Facility is repaid in full or otherwise terminates.

SunAmerica Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund, Inc.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN — June 30, 2009 — (unaudited)
 
The Fund has adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the “Plan”), through which all net investment income dividends and capital gains distributions are paid to Common Stock Shareholders in the form of additional shares of the Fund’s Common Stock (plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares which otherwise would have been issuable), unless a Common Stock Shareholder elects to receive cash as provided below. In this way, a Common Stock Shareholder can maintain an undiluted investment in the Fund and still allow the Fund to pay out the required distributable income.
 
No action is required on the part of a registered Common Stock Shareholder to receive a distribution in shares of Common Stock of the Fund. A registered Common Stock Shareholder may elect to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying Computershare Trust Company, NA, Inc. (“Computershare”), P.O. Box 43010, Providence, RI 02940-3010, the Plan Agent and the Fund’s transfer agent and registrar, in writing so that such notice is received by Computershare no later than 10 days prior to the record date for distributions to Common Stock Shareholders. Computershare will set up an account for shares acquired through the Plan for each Common Stock Shareholder who has not elected to receive distributions in cash (“Participant”) and hold such shares in non-certificated form.
 
Those Common Stock Shareholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive distributions in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary.
 
Computershare will set up an account for shares acquired pursuant to the Plan for Participants who have not so elected to receive dividends and distributions in cash. The shares of Common Stock will be acquired by the Plan Agent for the Participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized shares of Common Stock from the Fund (“Additional Common Stock”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares of Common Stock on the open market on the NYSE or elsewhere. If on the payment date for a dividend or distribution, the net asset value per share of Common Stock is equal to or less than the market price per share of Common Stock plus estimated brokerage commissions, Computershare shall receive Additional Common Stock, including fractions, from the Fund for each Participant’s account. The number of shares of Additional Common Stock to be credited shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend or distribution by the greater of (i) the net asset value per share of Common Stock on the payment date, or (ii) 95% of the market price per share of the Common Stock on the payment date. If the net asset value per share of Common Stock exceeds the market price plus estimated brokerage commissions on the payment date for a dividend or distribution, Computershare (or a broker-dealer selected by Computershare) shall endeavor to apply the amount of such dividend or distribution on each Participant’s shares of Common Stock to purchase shares of Common Stock on the open market. Such purchases will be made on or shortly after the payment date for such dividend or distribution but in no event will purchases be made on or after the ex-dividend date for the next dividend or distribution. The weighted average price (including brokerage commissions) of all shares of Common Stock purchased by Computershare shall be the price per share of Common Stock allocable to each Participant. If, before Computershare has completed its purchases, the market price plus estimated brokerage commissions exceeds the net asset value of the shares of Common Stock as of the payment date, the purchase price paid by Computershare may exceed the net asset value of the Common Stock, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares of Common Stock than if such dividend or distribution had been paid in shares of Common Stock issued by the Fund. Participants should note that they will not be able to instruct Computershare to purchase shares of Common Stock at a specific time or at a specific price.
 
There is no charge to Common Stock Shareholders for receiving their distributions in the form of additional shares of the Fund’s Common Stock. Computershare’s fees for handling distributions in stock are paid by the Fund. There are no brokerage charges with respect to shares issued directly by the Fund as a result of distributions payable in stock. If a Participant elects by written notice to Computershare to have Computershare sell part or all of the shares held by Computershare in the Participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the Participant, Computershare is authorized to deduct a $2.50 transaction fee plus brokerage commissions from the proceeds.
 
Common Stock Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of stock are subject to the same Federal, state and local tax consequences as are Common Stock Shareholders who elect to receive their distributions in cash.
