This information is unaudited and is intended solely to report on investment strategies and opportunities identified by Allianz Global Investors. Opinions and estimates offered constitute our judgment and are subject to change without notice, as are statements of financial market trends, which are based on current market conditions. This is not an offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of any financial instrument. References to specific securities and their issuers are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as, recommendations to purchase or sell such securities.

The Funds are closed-end exchange traded investment companies. The material on this website is presented only to provide information and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. After the initial public offering, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. For additional information, contact your financial advisor or call 1-800-254-5197. Investment policies, management fees and other matters of interest to prospective investors may be found in each closed-end fund prospectus.

The Fund ordinarily will invest in common stocks and also may invest in other types of equity securities, such as depositary receipts and preferred stocks. The Fund's equity investments will ordinarily be focused primarily in companies located in countries represented in the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Australasia Far East Index (the "MSCI EAFE Index"). The Fund has the flexibility to invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities of companies located in developing or "emerging" market countries. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (EAFE) is an unmanaged index of over 900 companies, and is a generally accepted benchmark for major overseas markets. Index weightings represent the relative capitalizations of those markets included in the index on a U.S. dollar adjusted basis. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities of companies located in the United States.

The Fund employs a strategy of writing (selling) call options on individual securities in the Equity Component. The Fund may also utilize other derivative strategies involving call and put options, futures and forward contracts, swap agreements, short sales and other derivative instruments for investment purposes or in an effort to hedge against market and other risks in the portfolio. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in those instruments.

NAV and Market Price Yields are calculated by annualizing the most recent regular distribution per share and dividing by the most recent month-end NAV or market price as applicable. The Fund's distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net capital gains, return of capital or a combination thereof. Distribution rates on Fund common shares are subject to change and are not a quotation of fund performance. Please refer to the most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable, for additional information regarding the composition of distributions.
