THE CHINA FUND, INC.
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (Unaudited)

China Fund Inc,
Chairman’s statement
Six months to April 30, 2011

The period under review was notable for a series of global events and developments, all of which represented headwinds for the Chinese market: soaring commodity-price inflation; fear of revolutionary fervor spreading from the Middle East; and the tragic earthquake in Japan.

Once again, however, I am able to report that your fund has produced another solid positive return for the six months. Rising 9.7% (based on net asset value), it has again outperformed its benchmark; the MSCI Golden Dragon index gained 6.4% over the same period.

Encouragingly, much of the good performance is attributable to one of the managers’ long-term themes: the growing spending power of the Chinese consumer. But another theme, China’s healthcare reforms, worked to the detriment of the fund’s performance this time around, as many of its positions here suffered along with the healthcare sector on worries over new regulation. The managers are confident that this concern is temporary, however, and that the bright prospects for well-run healthcare companies will soon reassert themselves — to the benefit of your portfolio. Underlining this conviction, they have taken advantage of the recent weakness to increase the fund’s exposure to the sector.

In the review and outlook that accompany this letter, your managers paint a rather mixed economic picture: on the one hand, stubborn inflation, monetary tightening and a sizeable first-quarter trade deficit; on the other, continuing evidence of strong economic performance and the burgeoning relationship between Beijing and Taipei. But their conviction in the fundamental quality and relative attractiveness of the companies in your portfolio remains undimmed. So it is with cautious optimism that I look forward to the remainder of the year; I hope to be reporting on another period of relative outperformance — and absolute gains — in six months’ time.

Yours sincerely,

James Lightburn
Chairman

THE CHINA FUND, INC.
INVESTMENT MANAGER’S STATEMENT (Unaudited)

REVIEW OF LISTED AND DIRECT INVESTMENTS

Review

This was a strong period for the fund, which returned 9.7% (based on net asset value) against a benchmark return of 6.4%.

Chinese markets were volatile over the period, on fears of inflation, growing unrest in the Middle East and the knock-on effects of the Japanese earthquake. The most notable development on the political front was the setting out of China’s 12th five-year plan in March. The most eye-catching part of this was an ambitious social-housing proposal, which entails a 70% increase in this year’s affordable-housing target, to 10 million units — almost the same as last year’s volume of commercial housing. Meanwhile, the number of state-owned housing for rent will reach 2 million, six times last year’s figure. This project goes far beyond merely controlling property-price expectations, to stimulating domestic consumption, restructuring the pattern of economic growth and reallocating social wealth. One local newspaper estimates that total investment will reach Rmb1.4 trillion in 2011. We remain cautious on the funding and speed of execution, but expect the project to play a key role in China’s economic development.

Taiwan was also volatile, though in a different pattern to the mainland. The island’s stockmarket outperformed the other Chinese markets by a substantial margin overall. Towards the end of the period, however, it weakened considerably as investors took profits on both equity performance and currency appreciation.

Despite general weakness in the healthcare sector over the period, the largest individual contribution to the fund’s relative returns came from China Medical System, which is aggressively expanding its share of the mainland pharmaceuticals market through acquisitions.

As domestic consumption continues to flourish across the Greater China region, a number of retailers boosted relative returns. These included FamilyMart and Far Eastern Department Store in Taiwan, and Ports Design in Hong Kong. Another standout in the consumer sector was Singapore-listed snack-maker Hsu Fu Chi; we took profits here towards the end of the period.

Other strong performers included Hand Enterprise Solutions, which listed successfully during the period, and Sina Corp, which has soared on the rapid growth of its microblogging service, Sina Weibo (the ‘Chinese Twitter’). We also did well to avoid some underperforming heavyweights: China Life, China Mobile, Bank of China, Sun Hung Kai Properites, Acer, Mediatek and Hon Hai Precision.

The main detractors included a number of healthcare stocks; the sector underperformed because of nervousness about the regulatory environment. We expect this nervousness to dissipate once the government’s drug-pricing proposals are published in full. Another major detractor was Boshiwa, which retails children’s clothing on the Chinese mainland. Although its shares rallied on the announcement of surging revenues, this was not sufficient to offset the falls earlier in the year. We expect the company to continue to do well — and its shares to reflect this.

INVESTMENT MANAGER’S STATEMENT (continued) (Unaudited)

REVIEW OF LISTED AND DIRECT INVESTMENTS

In the direct portfolio, we exited the Ugent convertible-bond investment in April. With this disposal, we have recovered over half of the initial investment. The China Fund, Inc. will, of course, receive the full value of the original investment, as agreed in December 2010 and detailed within the fund’s 2010 annual report.

Finally, the strength of the Taiwanese market meant that we suffered from not holding some of the island’s largest index components. In this regard, HTC Corp and Taiwan Semiconductor both detracted from relative returns.

Outlook

Contrary to investors’ hopes, inflationary pressure remains resilient. March’s CPI growth came in at 5.4%, up from 4.9% in February. As Premier Wen commented at the close of the National People’s Congress in March, taming inflation remains the central government’s first priority. So we expect the current tightening regime to remain in place for some time. Interest rates have already been raised three times this year, and the banks’ reserve-ratio requirements are now at a record high (20.5% of the big banks’ deposit base is now locked away with the central bank).

We are also nervous about the ease with which commentators have dismissed China’s first-quarter trade deficit of US$1.02 billion. The trend in the trade surplus seems clear, as booming consumption draws in imports and wage inflation erodes China’s export competitiveness, but every man and his dog are still positioned for the renminbi-appreciation trade. Any sign of wavering in the currency (watch renminbi non-deliverable futures) could cause a reversal of ‘hot money’ flows, hurting prestige property and the nascent offshore ‘dim sum’ bond market.

Against all this, corporate news remains good. In the A-share market, profit growth in FY2010 reached 37%, led by a strong recovery in cyclical sectors such as steel, non-ferrous metal and mining, indicating a robust economy. However, there are some warning signs, such as rapidly increasing inventories and accounts receivable. We now have a sense that the economy is gradually decelerating and that margins are under pressure.

There is also a lot of enthusiasm among local investors for the social-housing program. This has driven up the price of building-material stocks. But funding for the projects, who is going to build them, and where they are going to source the land all remain unclear.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 2011 (Unaudited)


NOTE A —	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The China Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on April 28, 1992, and is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation which it seeks to achieve by investing primarily in equity securities (i) of companies for which the principal securities trading market is the People’s Republic of China (“China”), (ii) of companies for which the principal securities trading market is outside of China, or constituting direct equity investments in companies organized outside of China, that in both cases derive at least 50% of their revenues from goods and services sold or produced, or have at least 50% of their assets, in China and (iii) constituting direct equity investments in companies organized in China. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The significant estimates made as of, and for the six months ended, April 30, 2011 relate to Direct Investments and to the contingent liability resulting from the sale of Captive Finance in March 2007. A reserve of 10% of the net sale proceeds was established to cover any potential liabilities from the representation and warranties provided by the Fund in the transaction.

Security valuation: Portfolio securities listed on recognized United States or foreign securities exchanges are valued at the last quoted sales price in the principal market where they are traded. Listed securities with no such sales price and unlisted securities are valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices, if any, from brokers. Short-term investments having maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (original purchase cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount) which when combined with accrued interest approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value in good faith by or at the direction of the Board of Directors and considering relevant factors, data and information including, if relevant, the market value of freely tradable securities of the same class in the principal market on which such securities are normally traded. Direct Investments are valued at fair value as determined by or at the direction of the Board of Directors based on financial and other information supplied by the Direct Investment Manager regarding each Direct Investment. Forward currency contracts are valued at the current cost of offsetting the contract. Equity linked securities are valued at fair value primarily based on the value(s) of the security (or securities) underlying, which normally follows the same methodology as the valuation of securities listed on recognized exchanges.

Factors used in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the size of the holding, the initial cost of the security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, the availability of quotations from broker-dealers, the availability of values of third parties other than the Investment Manager or Direct Investment Manager, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (if available), an analysis of the company’s financial statements, an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which they trade.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

Securities Lending: The Fund may lend up to 331/3% of the Fund’s total assets held by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) as custodian to certain qualified brokers, except those securities which the Fund or the Investment Manager specifically identifies as not being available. By lending its investment securities, the Fund attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of interest on the loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that might occur and any interest or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the collateral decreases below the value of the securities loaned. Upon entering into a securities lending transaction, the Fund receives cash or other securities as collateral in an amount equal to or exceeding 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities and 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. Any cash received as collateral is generally invested by State Street, acting in its capacity as securities lending agent (the “Agent”), in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio. A portion of the dividends received on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the Agent and the Fund.

As of April 30, 2011, the Fund had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash and short term investments. The value of the securities on loan and the value of the related collateral were as follows:


		Value of
Value of		Cash		Total
Securities		Collateral		Collateral

$	86,344,134	$	92,948,281	$	92,948,281

Foreign currency translations: The records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade dates and settlement dates of security transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included in realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in exchange rates.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into these contracts, risks may arise from the potential inability of

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar value of forward currency contracts is determined using forward exchange rates provided by quotation services. Daily fluctuations in the value of such contracts are recorded as unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Such gain or loss is disclosed in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency in the Fund’s accompanying Statement of Operations. At April 30, 2011, The Fund did not hold open forward foreign currency contracts.

Option Contracts: The Fund may purchase and write (sell) call options and put options provided the transactions are for hedging purposes and the initial margin and premiums do not exceed 5% of total assets. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. Such gain or loss is disclosed in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on options in the Fund’s accompanying Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counter parties to meet the terms of the contract.

Equity Linked Securities: The Fund may invest in equity-linked securities such as linked participation notes, equity swaps and zero-strike options and securities warrants. Equity-linked securities currently held by the Fund are privately issued securities whose investment results are designed to correspond generally to the performance of a specified stock index or “basket” of stocks, or a single stock. Access Products may be used by the Fund to gain exposure to countries that place restrictions on investments by foreigners. To the extent that the Fund invests in Access Products whose return corresponds to the performance of a foreign securities index or one or more foreign stocks, investing in Access Products will involve risks similar to the risks of investing in foreign securities. In addition, the Fund bears the risk that the issuer of an Access Product may default on its obligation under the terms of the arrangement with the counterparty. Access Products are often used for many of the same purposes as, and share many of the same risks with, derivative instruments. In addition, Access Products may be considered illiquid.

At April 30, 2011, the Fund held equity-linked Access Product warrants through Credit Lyonnais and Citigroup Global Markets Holdings, the issuers. Under the terms of the agreements, each warrant entitles the Fund to receive from the issuers an amount in U.S. dollars linked to the performance of specific equity shares. Under these agreements, the Fund has agreed to pay or provide reimbursement for any taxes imposed on the A Share investments underlying the Access Products. Non-resident corporate investors in China, such as the issuer of the Access Products, are subject to a statutory 10% withholding tax on both dividend and interest income sourced from China, absent an applicable tax treaty;

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

however to date China has not implemented procedures to collect the tax. There can be no assurance that in the future China will not implement such procedures and also subject capital gains to taxation. If China does implement such procedures the Fund may be required to pay or reimburse for any taxes that the issuers of the Access Products became subject to under those procedures.

Direct Investments: The Fund may invest up to 25% of the net proceeds from its offering of its oustanding common stock in direct investments. Direct investments are generally restricted and do not have a readily available resale market. Because of the absence of any public trading market for these investments, the Fund may take longer to liquidate these positions than would be the case for publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices on these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund. Issuers whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to public disclosure and other investor protections requirements applicable to publicly traded securities. The value of these securities at April 30, 2011 was $38,552,950 or 4.8% of the Fund’s net asset value. The table below details the acquisition date, cost, and value of the Fund’s direct investments as determined by the Board of Directors of the Fund. The Fund does not have the right to demand that such securities be registered.

*		HAND Enterprise Solutions Co., Ltd., Common shares became a listed security as of February 1, 2011.

Indemnification Obligations: Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arragements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

Security transactions and investment income: Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or, in the case of dividend income on foreign securities, on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund becomes aware of its declaration. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

Dividend and interest income generated in Taiwan is subject to a 20% withholding tax. Stock dividends received (except those which have resulted from Capitalization of capital surplus) are taxable at 20% of the par value of the stock dividends received. The Fund records the taxes paid on stock dividends as an operating expense.

Dividends and distributions: The Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders, at least annually, substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share. Temporary differences which arise from recognizing certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes will reverse at some time in the future.

The Fund made distributions of $8,534,134 from Ordinary Income and $43,276,235 from Long-Term Capital Gains during the six months ended April 30, 2011. For the year ended October 31, 2010 the Fund made distributions of $5,825,297 from Ordinary Income.

Federal Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the period ended April 30, 2011, the Fund did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. As of April 30, 2011, tax years 2007 through 2010 remain subject to examination by the Fund’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the state of Maryland. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by governments of countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Fund accrues and applies such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or gains are earned.

NOTE G —	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Fund has adopted fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:


	•	Level 1 — Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)


	•	Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;

	•	Level 3 — Inputs that are unobservable.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2011 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS;
SUMMARY OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN

The Fund will distribute to shareholders, at least annually, substantially all of its net investment income from dividends and interest earnings and expects to distribute any net realized capital gains annually. Pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the “Plan”), adopted by the Fund, each shareholder will automatically be a participant (a “Participant”) in the Plan unless Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Plan Agent, is otherwise instructed by the shareholder in writing, to have all distributions, net of any applicable U.S. withholding tax, paid in cash. Shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check in U.S. dollars mailed directly to the shareholder by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as paying agent. Shareholders who do not wish to have distributions automatically reinvested should notify the Fund by contacting Computershare Trust Company, N.A. c/o The China Fund, Inc. at P.O. Box 43078, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3078, by telephone at 1-800-426-5523 or via the Internet at www.computershare.com/investor.

The Plan will operate whenever a dividend or distribution is declared payable only in cash or in cash or shares of the Fund’s common stock, but it will not operate with respect to a dividend or distribution declared payable only in shares of the Fund’s common stock (including such a declaration that provides an option to receive cash).

Computershare Trust Company, N.A (“Computershare” or the “Plan Agent”) act as Plan Agent. If the Directors of the Fund declare an income dividend or a capital gains distribution payable either in the Fund’s Common Stock or in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive Common Stock. The shares of common stock issued by the Fund will be valued at net asset value or, if the net asset value is less than 95% of the market price on the valuation date, then shares will be valued at 95% of the market price. If the net asset value per share of the common stock on the valuation date exceeds the market price, participants will be issued shares at market price. The valuation date will be the dividend or distribution payment date or, if that date is not a trading day on the exchange on which the Fund’s shares are then listed, the next preceding trading day. If the Fund should declare a dividend or capital gains distribution payable only in cash, the Plan Agent will, as purchasing agent for the participants, buy shares of common stock in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, with the cash in respect of such dividend or distribution, for the participant’s accounts on, or shortly after, the payment date.

Participants in the Plan have the option of making additional payments to the Plan Agent annually, in any amount from $100 to $3,000 for investment in the Fund’s Common Stock. The Plan Agent will use all funds received from participants (as well as any dividends and capital gains distributions received in cash) to purchase Fund shares in the open market on January 15 of each year or the next trading day if January 15th is not a trading day. Participants may make voluntary cash payments by sending a check (in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. Bank) made payable to “Computershare” along with a completed transaction form which is attached to each statement a Participant receives. The Plan Agent will not accept cash, traveler’s checks, money orders or third party checks. Any voluntary cash payments received more than thirty-five days prior to such date will be returned by the Plan Agent, and interest will not be paid on any such amounts. To avoid unnecessary cash accumulations, and also to allow ample time for receipt and processing by the Plan Agent, participants should send in voluntary cash payments to be received by the Plan Agent approximately two days before January 15. A participant may withdraw a voluntary cash payment by written notice, if the notice is received by the Plan Agent not less than 48 hours before such payment is to be invested. In the event that a Participant’s check for a voluntary cash payment is returned unpaid for any reason, the Plan Agent will consider the request for investment of such funds null and void, and shall immediately remove from the Participant’s account those

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS;
SUMMARY OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN (continued)

shares, if any, purchased upon the prior credit of such funds. The Plan Agent shall be entitled to sell shares to satisfy any uncollected amount plus any applicable fees. If the net proceeds of the sale of such shares are insufficient to satisfy the balance of such uncollected amounts, the Plan Agent shall be entitled to sell such additional shares from the Participant’s account as may be necessary to satisfy the uncollected balance.

The Plan Agent will confirm in writing, each trade for a Participant’s account and each share deposit or share transfer promptly after the account activity occurs. The statement will show the number of shares held, the number of shares for which dividends are being reinvested, any cash received for purchase of shares, the price per share for any purchases or sales, and any applicable fees for each transaction charged the Participant. In the event the only activity in a Participant’s account is the reinvestment of dividends, this activity will be confirmed in a statement on at least a quarterly basis. If the Fund pays an annual dividend and the only activity in a Participant’s account for the calendar year is the reinvestment of such dividend, the Participant will receive an annual statement. These statements are a Participant’s continuing record of the cost basis of purchases and should be retained for income tax purposes.

The Plan Agent will hold shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the Plan in non-certificated form in the name of the Participant for whom such shares are being held and each Participant’s proxy will include those shares of common stock held pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Agent will forward to each Participant any proxy solicitation material received by it. In the case of shareholders, such as banks, brokers or nominees, which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of shares certified from time to time by the shareholder as representing the total amount registered in the name of such Participants and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan. Upon a Participant’s Internet, telephone or written request, the Plan Agent will deliver to her or him, without charge, a certificate or certificates representing all full shares of common stock held by the Plan Agent pursuant to the Plan for the benefit of such Participant.

Participants will not be charged a fee in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions. The Plan Agent’s transaction fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by the Fund. However, Participants will be charged a per share fee (currently $0.05) incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions and with purchases from voluntary cash payments made by the Participant. A $2.50 transaction fee and a per share fee of $0.15 will also be charged by the Plan Agent upon any request for sale. Per share fees include any brokerage commissions the Plan Agent is required to pay.

The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any income tax which may be payable on such dividends and distributions. Participants will receive tax information annually for their personal records and to help them prepare their federal income tax return. For further information as to tax consequences of participation in the Plan, Participants should consult with their own tax advisors.

These terms and conditions may be amended or supplemented by the Plan Agent or the Fund at any time or times but, except when necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules or policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority, only by mailing to the Shareholders appropriate written notice at least 30 days prior to the effective date thereof. The amendment or supplement shall de deemed to be accepted

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS;
SUMMARY OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN (continued)
