• Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Eaton Vance fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions.

• None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer's account, Eaton Vance may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker/dealers.

• Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information.

Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Boston Management and Research, and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc.

In addition, our Privacy Policy only applies to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer's account (i.e. fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial adviser/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such adviser's privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures.

For more information about Eaton Vance's Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called "householding" and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.

Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise.

If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.

Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.

Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and it's underlying Portfolio (if applicable) will file a schedule of its portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).

Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds' and Portfolios' Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to Portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122. This description is also available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

*The Fund*

• Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Buy-Write Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a diversified, closed-end investment company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ETW.

• Based on share price, the Fund had a total return of 10.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This return resulted from an increase in share price to $18.10 on June 30, 2006, from $17.20 on December 31, 2005, and the reinvestment of $0.900 in quarterly distributions.

• Based on net asset value (NAV), the Fund had a total return of 5.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. That return was the result of an increase in NAV per share to $18.68 on June 30, 2006, from $18.61 on December 31, 2005, and the reinvestment of $0.900 in quarterly distributions.

• For comparison, the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index – an unmanaged stock-plus-covered-call index created and maintained by the Chicago Board Options Exchange – had a return of 4.88% during the same period.(1) The S&P 500 Index – a broad-based, unmanaged, market index commonly used as a measure of overall U.S. stock market performance – had a total return of 2.71% during the same period.(1) The Nasdaq 100 Index – an unmanaged index that includes 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq – had a total return of -4.05% during the same period.(1) The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index – a broad-based, unmanaged index of approximately 1,000 companies based in twenty countries – had a total return of 10.16% during the same period.(1)

• The Fund’s Lipper peer group, Lipper Options Arbitrage/Options Strategies Funds Classification, had a return of 4.28% during the same period.(1)

*Management Discussion*

• The Fund’s primary objective is to provide current income and gains, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. In pursuing these objectives, the Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks, including stocks of U.S. issuers (the “U.S. Segment”) and stocks of non-U.S. issuers (the “International Segment”), sells on a continuous basis call options on broad-based domestic stock indices and call options on broad-based foreign country and/or regional stock indices, and employs a number of tax-management strategies.

• The global stock markets demonstrated continuing volatility during the six months ended June 30, 2006. In the U.S., the market started the year slowly, faced with rising interest rates and soaring energy costs. The Federal Reserve continued its campaign of higher short-term rates, hiking its benchmark Federal Funds rate on four occasions during the six-month period. However, resilient consumer spending, surprisingly good corporate earnings and increasing merger activity propelled the market higher in the second quarter, netting modest gains for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The European markets rallied strongly in the first quarter, led by mining, commodity and energy companies. The European markets peaked in late April and early May, although those gains were trimmed significantly in the second quarter. The Japanese market rose sharply to open the year, boosted by strong consumer and business spending. However, the market retraced its gains in the second quarter, as investors pulled back in response to the prospect of higher interest rates and concerns over a high-profile Japanese trading scandal.

• At June 30, 2006, the Fund held a diversified portfolio representing the broad spectrum of the U.S. economy and investments in a wide range of foreign countries. The Fund’s investments in U.S. issuers (the “U.S. Segment”) constituted 52.8% of total investments. The Fund’s investments in non-U.S. issuers (the “International Segment”) represented 47.2% of total investments. The majority of the Fund’s non-

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or share price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. The Fund has no current intention to utilize leverage, but may do so in the future through the issuance of preferred shares and/or borrowings, including the issuance of debt securities. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.

(1) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Indexes’ total returns do not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Indexes.

*Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.*

*F U N D P E R F O R M A N C E*

U.S. investments were divided between European markets (35.1%) and Japan (10.0%).

• The Fund’s chief investment strategy seeks current earnings from option premiums. The level of option premium available from writing call options is dependent, to a large extent, on investors’ expectation of the future volatility of the underlying asset. This volatility expectation, or “implied volatility,” is the primary driving force in determining the level of option premiums. The implied volatility of equity index options rose significantly in the first half of 2006, in step with an increase in perceived investment risk due to economic, interest rate and geopolitical concerns.

The high-premium environment allowed Rampart Investment Management, the Fund’s options manager, to, in some cases, increase the degree to which call options were written “out-of-the-money.” A call option is out-of-the-money when its strike price is greater than the price of the underlying security. The Fund tends to write farther out-of-the-money options after a market decline – a good time to have more upside exposure. Conversely, the Fund tends to write closer-to-the-money options after a period of market strength – a good time to be taking a more conservative position. In effect, this strategy seeks to emulate a “buy low (less hedge)/sell high (more hedge)” investment approach.

• As part of its tax-managed strategy, management continued to employ tax-efficient investment techniques. These included harvesting losses to offset gains, using cash flows to avoid excess turnover, and monitoring holding periods to optimize favorable tax treatment for dividends and capital gains.

*Performance*

Average Annual Total Returns (by share price, New York Stock Exchange)
Life of Fund (9/30/05) 2.00 %
Average Annual Total Returns (at net asset value)
Life of Fund (9/30/05) 5.27 %

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or share price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. The Fund’s performance at market share price will differ from its results at NAV. Although share price performance generally reflects investment results over time, during shorter periods, returns at share price can also be affected by factors such as changing perceptions about the Fund, market conditions, fluctuations in supply and demand for the Fund’s shares, or changes in Fund distributions. The Fund has no current intention to utilize leverage, but may do so in the future through the issuance of preferred shares and/or borrowings, including the issuance of debt securities. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance,com.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Buy-Write Opportunities Fund as of June 30, 2006

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1 Significant Accounting Policies

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Buy-Write Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated March 30, 2005. The Fund's primary investment objective is to provide current income and gains, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. In pursuing its investment objectives, the Fund will evaluate returns on an after-tax basis, seeking to minimize and defer shareholder federal income taxes. The Fund will seek to generate current earnings in part by employing an options strategy of writing index call options on at least 80% of the value of the Fund's total assets under normal market conditions. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A Investment Valuation — Securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System generally are valued at the official NASDAQ closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by an independent pricing service. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price for the day of valuation as quoted on the principal exchange or board of trade on which the options are traded or, in the absence of sales on such date, at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices therefore. Futures positions on securities and currencies generally are valued at closing settlement prices. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. If short-term debt securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, they will be valued by a pricing service. Other fixed income and debt securities, including listed securities and securities for which price quotations are available, will normally be valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by an independent quotation service. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Investments held by the Fund for which valuations or market quotations are unavailable and investments for which the price of the security is not believed to represent its fair market value, are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund considering relevant factors, data and information including the market value of freely tradable securities of the same class in the principal market on which such securities are normally traded.

B Income — Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.

C Federal Taxes — The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized capital gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.

At December 31, 2005, net capital losses of $79,429,648 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2005, are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's taxable year ending December 31, 2006.

D Foreign Currency Translation — Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Buy-Write Opportunities Fund as of June 30, 2006

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D

investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.

E Written Options — Upon the writing of a call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written in accordance with the Fund's policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the securities underlying the written option.

F Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The Fund may enter into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as nonhedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains and losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed or offset.

G Offering Costs — Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with the offering of the common shares were recorded as a reduction of capital paid in excess of par applicable to common shares.

H Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

I Indemnifications — Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

J Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

K Expense Reduction — Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Fund's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, there were no credit balances used to reduce the Fund's custodian fee.

L Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2006 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

2 Distribution to Shareholders

The Fund intends to make quarterly distributions of net investment income and short-term gains in excess of long-term capital losses. At least annually, the Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains, if any. In certain circumstances, a portion of distributions to shareholders may be characterized as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2006, the amount estimated to be a tax return of capital was approximately $88,284,839. The final determination of tax characteristics of the Fund's distributions will occur at the end of the year, at which

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Buy-Write Opportunities Fund as of June 30, 2006

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D

time it will be reported to shareholders. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions and the Fund's distribution policy could change. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.

3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The investment adviser fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Under the advisory agreement, EVM receives a monthly advisory fee in the amount of 1.00% annually of average daily gross assets of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the advisory fee amounted to $10,046,391. Pursuant to subadvisory agreements, EVM has delegated a portion of the investment management to Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (Parametric), an affiliate, and EVM has delegated the investment management of the Fund's option strategy to Rampart Investment Management Company (Rampart). EVM pays Parametric and Rampart a portion of the advisory fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.

Trustees of the Fund who are not affiliated with EVM may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, no significant amounts have been deferred.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organization.

4 Purchases and Sales of Investments

Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $81,560,583 and $126,928,704, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

5 Federal Income Tax Basis of Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments owned by the Fund at June 30, 2006, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments — Aggregate cost $ 1,893,456,834
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 182,257,278
Gross unrealized depreciation (73,764,088 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 108,493,190

6 Common Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the Fund to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional $0.01 par value common shares of beneficial interest. Transactions in common shares were as follows:

Sales — 105,655,000
Net increase — 105,655,000

(1) For the period from the start of business, September 30, 2005, to December 31, 2005.

7 Financial Instruments

The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and financial futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and

does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risk associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at June 30, 2006 is included in the Portfolio of Investments, except as follows:

All of the assets of the Fund are subject to segregation to satisfy the requirements of the escrow agent.

At June 30, 2006, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

8 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, ("FIN 48") "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact of applying the various provisions of FIN 48.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Contract Review Process

The Board noted that the initial approval of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreements for the Fund had occurred in April 2005, and that the Fund had commenced operations on September 30, 2005. The Board, and the Special Committee of the Board, a committee composed exclusively of trustees who are not "interested persons" of the fund ("Independent Trustees"), also reviewed extensive information about the Adviser and Subadvisers to the Fund in connection with their services to other Eaton Vance Funds. Based on its consideration of the information presented in connection with the other advisory contract renewals, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Special Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of the Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Buy-Write Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") with Eaton Vance Management (the "Adviser"), and the sub-advisory agreements with Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC ("PPA") and Rampart Investment Management Company, Inc. ("Rampart," and with PPA, the "Sub-advisers") including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Special Committee recommended to the Board approval of the respective agreements. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Special Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Special Committee with respect to the agreements. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement and the subadvisory agreements for the Fund.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

In considering whether to approve the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements of the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the Sub-advisers.

The Board considered the Adviser's and the Sub-advisers' management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Fund, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund and whose responsibilities include supervising each Sub-adviser and coordinating their activities in implementing the Fund's investment strategy. In particular, the Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as tax efficiency and special considerations relevant to investing in stocks and selling call options on the S & P 500 Index and broad-based foreign country or regional stock indices. With respect to PPA, the Board noted PPA's experience in deploying quantitative-based investment strategies. With respect to Rampart, the Board considered Rampart's business reputation and its options strategy and its past experience in implementing this strategy.

The Board reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and Sub-advisers and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers.

The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds.

After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-advisers, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the respective investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements.

Fund Performance; Management Fees and Expenses; Profitability; Economies of Scale

The Board noted that the Fund had only commenced operations on September 30, 2005. In light of the Fund's extremely brief operating history, the Board concluded that additional time was required in order to evaluate Fund performance, management fees and expenses, profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates, and any economies of scale which might be achieved.

*Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies*

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted a proxy voting policy and procedure (the “Fund Policy”), pursuant to which the Trustees have delegated proxy voting responsibility to the Fund’s investment adviser and adopted the investment adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures (the “Policies”) which are described below. The Trustees will review the Fund’s proxy voting records from time to time and will annually consider approving the Policies for the upcoming year. In the event that a conflict of interest arises between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund, the investment adviser will generally refrain from voting the proxies related to the companies giving rise to such conflict until it consults with the Board’s Special Committee except as contemplated under the Fund Policy. The Board’s Special Committee will instruct the investment adviser on the appropriate course of action.

The Policies are designed to promote accountability of a company’s management to its shareholders and to align the interests of management with those shareholders. The investment adviser will generally support company management on proposals relating to environmental and social policy issues, on matters regarding the state of organization of the company and routine matters related to corporate administration which are not expected to have a significant economic impact on the company or its shareholders. On all other matters, the investment adviser will review each matter on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to deviate from the Policies’ guidelines when it believes the situation warrants such a deviation. The Policies include voting guidelines for matters relating to, among other things, the election of directors, approval of independent auditors, executive compensation, corporate structure and anti-takeover defenses. The investment adviser may abstain from voting from time to time where it determines that the costs associated with voting a proxy outweighs the benefits derived from exercising the right to vote.

In addition, the investment adviser will monitor situations that may result in a conflict of interest between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund by maintaining a list of significant existing and prospective corporate clients. The investment adviser’s personnel responsible for reviewing and voting proxies on behalf of the Fund will report any proxy received or expected to be received from a company included on that list to members of senior management of the investment adviser identified in the Policies. Such members of senior management will determine if a conflict exists. If a conflict does exist, the investment adviser will seek instruction on how to vote from the Special Committee.

Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122, and (2) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
