Par amounts are denominated in US currency unless otherwise noted.


 
Percentages are calculated as a percentage of net assets.
(a) Payment-in-kind security.
(b) This Senior Loan interest is non-income producing.
(c) The borrower is in the process of restructuring or amending the terms of
    this loan.
(d) This borrower has filed for protection in federal bankruptcy court.
(e) All or a portion of this security is designated in connection with unfunded
    loan commitments.
(f) 144A-Private Placement security which is exempt from registration under
    Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This security may only
    be resold in transactions exempt from registration which are normally those
    transactions with qualified institutional buyers.
*   Senior Loans in the Fund's portfolio generally are subject to mandatory
    and/or optional





 
    prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because
    there may be significant economic incentives for a Borrower to prepay,
    prepayments of Senior Loans in the Fund's portfolio may occur. As a result,
    the actual remaining maturity of Senior Loans held in the Fund's portfolio
    may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. Although the
    Fund is unable to accurately estimate the actual remaining maturity of
    individual Senior Loans, the Fund estimates that the actual average
    maturity of the Senior Loans held in its portfolio will be approximately
    18-24 months.
**  Senior Loans in which the Fund invests generally pay interest at rates
    which are periodically redetermined by reference to a base lending rate
    plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate
    offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London Inter-Bank
    Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major
    United States banks or (iii) the certificate of deposit rate. Senior Loans
    are generally considered to be restricted in that the Fund ordinarily is
    contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent Bank and/or
    Borrower prior to the disposition of a Senior Loan.
