(a) At this time PBF and HNW believe that a portion of their
distributions may include a return of capital, in addition to net
investment income and long-term capital gains. A return of capital is
not a distribution of income or capital gains from the fund, does not
necessarily reflect the fund's investment performance, and should not
be considered "yield" or "income." Further information on the
composition of the distributions will be made available on the payment
date and will be available at www.pioneerinvestments.com. The final
determination of tax characteristics of each fund's distributions will
occur after the end of the year, at which time it will be reported to
shareholders.

Keep in mind, dividends are not guaranteed. Closed end funds,
unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a
one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds
are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange and
frequently trade at prices lower than their net asset values. Net
Asset Value (NAV) is total assets less total liabilities divided by
the number of common shares outstanding. For performance data on
Pioneer's closed-end funds, please call 800-225-6292 or visit our
closed-end pricing page.
