4Through at least January 31, 2009, Seligman has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or to reimburse the Fund’s expenses to the extent that the Fund’s “other expenses” (i.e., those expenses other than management fees, 12b-1 fees, interest on borrowings, and extraordinary expenses, including litigation expenses) exceed 0.50% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Similar fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangements were in effect since the Fund commenced investment operations on October 1, 2001. Absent such management fee waiver/expense reimbursements, the Fund’s returns would have been lower.
