(collectively, the "Trusts") paid the following dividends per share:

                                       
 Ticker    Pay Date        Per Share   
 BQY       May 29, 2009    $ 0.187500  
 BOE       May 29, 2009    $ 0.568750

Each of the Trusts has adopted a level distribution plan (the "Plan") and
employs either a managed distribution or an option over-write policy to support
a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital. The
fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of
each Trust`s Board. Under its Plan, each Trust will distribute all available
investment income to its shareholders, consistent with its primary investment
objectives and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). If sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly/monthly
basis, the Trusts will distribute long-term capital gains and or return of
capital to their shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. 

The Trusts` estimated sources of the distributions paid this month and for their
current fiscal years are as follows:

1The Trusts estimate that they have distributed more than their income and
capital gains in the current fiscal year; therefore, a portion of your
distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for
example, when some or all of the shareholder`s investment is paid back to the
shareholder. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect a
Trust's investment performance and should not be confused with `yield` or
`income`. 

The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates and are not
provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the
amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon each Trust`s investment
experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes
based on tax regulations. The Trusts will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the
calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal
income tax purposes.
