FUND PRIVACY POLICY
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy notice, which is required by federal law, explains privacy policies of the Fund and our affiliated companies. The terms of this notice apply to both current and former stockholders.
We will safeguard, according to strict standards of security and confidentiality, all information we receive about you. With regard to this information, we maintain procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards.
Our goal is to limit the collection and use of information about you. When you purchase shares of our common stock, our transfer agent collects personal information about you, such as your name, address, social security number or tax identification number.
This information is used only so that we can send you annual reports, proxy statements and other information required by law, and to send you information we believe may be of interest to you.
We do not share such information with any non-affiliated third party except as described below:
It is our policy that only authorized employees of our investment adviser and its affiliates who need to know your personal information will have access to it.
We may disclose stockholder-related information to unaffiliated third-party financial service providers (which may include a custodian, transfer agent, accountant or financial printer) who need to know that information in order to provide services to you or to the Fund. These companies are required to protect your information and use it solely for the purpose for which they received it.
If required by law, we may disclose stockholder-related information in accordance with a court order or at the request of government regulators. Only that information required by law, subpoena, or court order will be disclosed.
