The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the Fund's May monthly distribution, payable June 10, 2014, together with the cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year to date from the following sources: net investment income; net realized short term capital gains; net realized long term gains; and return of capital or other capital source.
