Common use of Source and Amount of Funds Clause in Contracts

Source and Amount of Funds. The total cost to the Fund of purchasing 1,902,606 of its issued and outstanding Shares pursuant to the Offer would be $14,231,493 (based on a price per Share of $7.48, 95% of the NAV as of the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE on October 19, 2001). On October 19, 2001, the aggregate value of the Fund's net assets was $99,871,810. To pay the aggregate purchase price of Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, the Fund anticipates that funds will first be derived from any cash on hand and then from the proceeds from the sale of portfolio securities held by the Fund. The selection of which portfolio securities to sell, if any, will be made by CSAM, taking into account investment merit, relative liquidity and applicable investment restrictions and legal requirements. The Fund is authorized to borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes, and to the extent the Fund does not have sufficient resources through cash on hand and the disposition of portfolio securities to purchase Shares in the Offer, it intends to finance a portion of the Offer through temporary borrowing. The Fund and other investment companies or portfolios thereof advised by CSAM are parties to a $200 million committed, unsecured line of credit (the "Facility") with a syndicate of banks for which Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch acts as the administrative agent, The Bank of Nova Scotia acts as syndication agent, BNP Paribas acts as documentation agent and State Street Bank and Trust Company acts as operations agent. The Facility is intended primarily to cover temporary or emergency needs of the Funds. Amounts drawn under the Facility bear interest at the overnight Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points per annum. Any amounts drawn under the Facility will be repaid from the sale of the Fund's portfolio securities. The Fund may specify the term of the borrowing, up to 60 days, at the time the loan is drawn down. The amounts available to be drawn down by the Fund under the Facility will depend upon the level of borrowings by other funds that are parties to the Facility, and accordingly it is possible that the Fund may not be able to borrow under the Facility the amounts desired. Because the Fund may sell portfolio securities to raise cash for the purchase of Shares, during the pendency of the Offer, and possibly for a short time thereafter, the Fund may hold a greater than normal percentage of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. As of October 19, 2001, cash and cash equivalents constituted approximately 28.11% of the Fund's total assets. Under some market circumstances, it may be necessary for the Fund to raise cash by liquidating portfolio securities in a manner that could reduce the market value of such securities and, thus, reduce both the NAV of the Shares and the proceeds from the sale of such securities. Liquidating portfolio securities, if necessary, may also lead to the premature disposition of portfolio investments and additional transaction costs. Depending upon the timing of such sales, any such decline in NAV may adversely affect any tendering shareholders whose Shares are accepted for purchase by the Fund, as well as those shareholders who do not sell Shares pursuant to the Offer. Shareholders who retain their Shares may be subject to certain other effects of the Offer. See Section 14.
