Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
 
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
 
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
 
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
 
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

Income Tax Information
 
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset value of the Fund.

Ratings: Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors
   
Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s,
   
Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated

for investments in inverse floating rate transactions.
(5)

securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S.
   
Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of
   
such securities.

On November 28, 2011, AMR Corp. (“AMR”), the parent company of American Airlines Group, Inc.
   
(“AAL”) filed for federal bankruptcy protection. On December 9, 2013, AMR emerged from federal
   
bankruptcy with the acceptance of its reorganization plan by the bankruptcy court. Under the
   
settlement agreement established to meet AMR’s unsecured bond obligations, the bondholders,
   
including the Fund, received a distribution of AAL preferred stock which was converted to AAL
   
common stock over a 120-day period. Every 30 days, a quarter of the preferred stock was converted
   
to AAL common stock based on the 5-day volume-weighted average price and the amount of preferred
   
shares tendered during the optional preferred conversion period.
(ETM)
 
Escrowed to maturity.
(IF)
