The Board and PIMCO believe that there will be significant benefits to consolidating the Funds' fiscal year ends in the manner described above, including, among other benefits, significant increases in efficiencies for the Funds, the Board and PIMCO.
In connection with the changes to their fiscal year ends discussed above, RCS, PDI, PGP, PHK, PFL and PFN have also announced that they expect to hold their next annual meetings of shareholders on June 30, 2015, which differs from the dates that were contemplated in each such Fund's proxy statement for its most recent annual meeting of shareholders. This date is subject to change by the Funds' Board of Trustees/Directors. Please refer to RCS', PDI's, PGP's, PHK's, PFL's or PFN's notice of meeting, as applicable, which will be included in the proxy statement for such Fund's next annual meeting, when available, for final information on each such Fund's shareholder meeting.
Proposals of shareholders intended to be presented at the June 30, 2015 annual meetings of PGP, RCS, PDI, PHK, PFL or PFN must be received by the relevant Fund no later than February 17, 2015 for PGP or RCS and no later than March 2, 2015 for PDI, PHK, PFL or PFN for inclusion in such Fund's proxy statement and proxy cards relating to that annual meeting. The submission by a shareholder of a proposal for inclusion in a Fund's proxy materials does not guarantee that it will be included. Shareholder proposals are subject to certain requirements under the federal securities laws and must be submitted in accordance with the applicable Fund's Bylaws. Shareholders submitting any other proposals (including proposals to elect Trustee/Director nominees) for a Fund intended to be presented at such Fund's next annual meeting (i.e., other than those to be included in the Fund's proxy materials) must ensure that such proposals are received by the relevant Fund, in good order and complying with all applicable legal requirements and requirements set forth in such Fund's Bylaws. Accordingly, such proposals must be received no earlier than April 18, 2015 and no later than May 3, 2015 for RCS or PGP and no later than May 16, 2015 for PDI, PHK, PFL or PFN. If a shareholder who wishes to present a proposal fails to notify the relevant Fund by the dates described above, the proxies solicited for that annual meeting will be voted on the shareholder's proposal, if it is properly brought before that annual meeting, in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the proxy card(s) for that annual meeting. If a shareholder makes a timely notification, the proxies may still exercise discretionary voting authority under circumstances consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commissions' proxy rules. Shareholder proposals for the upcoming annual shareholder meetings should be addressed to the attention of the Secretary of the applicable Fund, 1633 Broadway, New York, NY 10019, with a copy to David C. Sullivan, Ropes & Gray LLP, Prudential Tower, 800 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02199-3600.
The next annual meetings of shareholders for the Funds other than PDI, PHK, PFL and PFN are expected to be held within thirty days of the anniversary of their most recent annual meetings.
The Funds' daily New York Stock Exchange closing market prices, net asset values per share, as well as other information, including updated portfolio statistics and performance are available at pimco.com/closedendfunds or by calling the Funds' shareholder servicing agent at (844) 33-PIMCO. Updated portfolio holdings information about a Fund will be available approximately 15 calendar days after such Fund's most recent fiscal quarter end, and will remain accessible until such Fund files a Form N-Q or a shareholder report for the period which includes the date of the information.
