Logo: NUVEEN Investments Photo of: TIMOTHY R. SCHWERTFEGER CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD SIDEBAR TEXT: "WE REMAIN CONVINCED THAT MAINTAINING A WELL-BALANCED PORTFOLIO ....... IS AN IMPORTANT WAY TO HELP YOU REDUCE OVERALL INVESTMENT RISK." Dear SHAREHOLDER On behalf of all of us at Nuveen Investments, I'd like to use this first report of the Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Funds to welcome you to the growing family of Nuveen investors. For more than 100 years, Nuveen has specialized in offering quality investments to those seeking to accumulate and preserve wealth. Our mission continues to be to assist you and your financial advisor by offering the investment services and products that can help you meet your financial objectives. We thank you for choosing Nuveen Investments as a partner as you work toward that goal. Because your Fund's fiscal year ends on July 31, this "annual" report really covers only about four months of operations for JPC and about one month for JQC. However, we believe both Funds are off to good starts, and are already well positioned to meet their objectives of high current income and total return potential. For more details, I encourage you to read the portfolio managers' interview that immediately follows this letter. While the oldest of these two Funds was barely more than four months old as of July 31, 2003, both already have experienced a good deal of market price volatility. We know that the ups and downs that come with this volatility may lead some investors to consider increasing or decreasing their investments in their Fund. While we encourage you to take a strong interest in the performance of your investment portfolio, I urge you to first discuss any investment changes with your financial advisor before you act. We remain convinced that maintaining a well-balanced portfolio, structured and monitored with the help of an investment professional, is an important way to help you reduce overall investment risk and position yourself to achieve your long-term financial goals. In this context, the preferred and convertible securities in your Nuveen Fund can be important building blocks in a portfolio crafted to perform well through a variety of market conditions. I also urge you to consider receiving future Fund reports and other information electronically via the Internet and e-mail rather than in hard copy. Not only will you be able to receive the information faster, but this also may help lower Fund expenses. Sign up is quick and easy -- see the inside front cover of this report for detailed instructions. Again, thank you for the confidence you have shown in Nuveen Investments. We look forward to reporting on the performance of your Fund in the months and years ahead. Sincerely, /s/ Timothy R. Schwertfeger Timothy R. Schwertfeger Chairman of the Board September 15, 2003 1 NUVEEN CLOSED-END EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS (JPC, JQC) Managers' PERSPECTIVE The Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Funds are managed by Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. (NIAC), and sub-advised by a team of specialists from Spectrum Asset Management, Inc., Froley, Revy Investment Co., Inc., and NIAC. Spectrum, an affiliate of Principal CapitalSM, manages the preferred securities portions of the Funds' portfolios. Froley, Revy, one of the oldest firms specializing in convertible securities, manages that portion of both Fund's portfolios, while NIAC manages the high yield and other debt instruments in both Funds. Here representatives from Spectrum, Froley, Revy and NIAC talk about general economic conditions and their management strategy for the period ended July 31, 2003. WHAT WERE THE GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS BETWEEN MARCH 2003 (THE INCEPTION OF JPC) AND JULY 31, 2003? The first months of this period were characterized generally by a steady rise in price and fall in yield for most fixed income investments. This pattern reversed itself dramatically in July 2003, with price declines and yield increases that more than offset the gains of the previous three months. This can be seen easily in the history of ten-year U.S. Treasury bonds. At the end of March 2003, when JPC began investing its initial assets, the ten-year U.S. Treasury was yielding 3.80%. By the end of June, when JQC began investing its assets, these bonds had continued to rally, pushing their yield to 3.52%. As of July 31, 2003, the ten-year Treasury yield had climbed almost 100 basis points to 4.40%. These market conditions affected each of the Funds' three asset classes differently. Preferred securities generally performed well when compared with many other types of fixed-income investments from March through July 2003. However, this asset class still suffered across the board price declines. Convertible securities performed much better. During the April - July 2003 time frame, convertible securities generally advanced, with the Merrill Lynch All Convertible Index up 10.95% over those four months. The Merrill Lynch High-Yield Master Index returned 5.62% for the month of April 2003, 1.08% during May and 2.73% in June. However, the Index dropped -1.43% in July. Generally, there was adequate supply of securities in all three asset classes over this period to facilitate the investing of both Funds' assets. HOW HAVE YOU BEEN INVESTING THE ASSETS OF BOTH FUNDS? For JPC, finding attractive yields among the high quality preferred securities we favor was the primary challenge as bonds rallied through much of the spring. A heavy new issuer calendar for preferred securities created some opportunities in both the primary and secondary markets and Spectrum was able to invest in a timely manner. The focus of the convertible securities portion of the Funds, managed by Froley, Revy, was on balancing income opportunities with the potential for capital appreciation, while maintaining a roughly 50% weight (for this portion of the portfolio) in investment grade securities. For the high yield portion of the portfolio, NIAC focused on credits with strong fundamental business models, diversified revenue streams and limited earnings volatility. Industry and credit diversification were a key focus, with investments coming from sectors such as gaming/lodging, home-building, retail, media and food. As of July 31, 2003, JQC was only about one month old. All three sub-advisers were still in the process of investing their initial allocations as of the end of the reporting period. The back-up in the fixed-income markets during July 2003 was providing some attractive yield opportunities for preferred and high yield securities, while the building consensus around improved equity market prospects was creating some opportunities for convertible securities investing. WHAT WILL BE YOUR STRATEGY FOR THE FUNDS GOING FORWARD? In an uncertain environment, we will continue to invest the Funds' assets in ways that we think will enhance their ability to provide attractive income and total returns. We plan to retain our research-oriented approach toward finding securities within each of the Funds' asset classes, and we will continue to seek opportunities to enhance the diversification of each Fund's portfolio. 2 NUVEEN PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE INCOME FUND Performance OVERVIEW As of July 31, 2003 JPC PORTFOLIO STATISTICS -------------------------------------------------- Share Price $14.57 -------------------------------------------------- Common Share Net Asset Value $14.12 -------------------------------------------------- Net Assets Applicable to Common Shares ($000) $1,412,983 -------------------------------------------------- % OF TOTAL TOP 5 ISSUERS INVESTMENTS -------------------------------------------------- Wachovia Corporation 2.8% -------------------------------------------------- General Motors Corporation 2.3% -------------------------------------------------- Citigroup 2.1% -------------------------------------------------- PartnerRe Limited 1.9% -------------------------------------------------- Morgan Stanley 1.9% -------------------------------------------------- CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN (INCEPTION DATE 3/26/03) -------------------------------------------------- Market NAV -------------------------------------------------- Since Inception -0.89% 0.58% -------------------------------------------------- Bar Chart: 2003 MONTHLY DIVIDENDS PER SHARE May 0.1005 Jun 0.1005 Jul 0.1005 Line Chart: SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE Weekly Closing Price Past performance is not predictive of future results. 3/28/03 15.03 15.09 15.28 15.4 15.14 15.15 15.3 15.32 15.43 15.45 15.37 15.4 15.49 15.4 15.04 15.04 7/31/03 14.57 3 NUVEEN PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE INCOME FUND 2 Performance OVERVIEW As of July 31, 2003 JQC PORTFOLIO STATISTICS -------------------------------------------------- Share Price $14.69 -------------------------------------------------- Common Share Net Asset Value $13.83 -------------------------------------------------- Net Assets Applicable to Common Shares ($000) $1,950,622 -------------------------------------------------- % OF TOTAL TOP 5 ISSUERS1 INVESTMENTS -------------------------------------------------- Citigroup 3.5% -------------------------------------------------- Wachovia Corporation 2.2% -------------------------------------------------- ABN AMRO Bank NV 2.0% -------------------------------------------------- Prudential Financial Inc. 1.9% -------------------------------------------------- ING Groep NV 1.7% -------------------------------------------------- CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN (INCEPTION DATE 6/25/03) -------------------------------------------------- Market NAV -------------------------------------------------- Since Inception -2.07% -3.49% -------------------------------------------------- THE FUND PAID ITS FIRST MONTHLY DIVIDEND OF $.0975 PER SHARE ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2003.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of July 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund, and Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund 2 at July 31, 2003, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Chicago, Illinois September 12, 2003 5 Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund (JPC) Portfolio of INVESTMENTS July 31, 2003 MARKET SHARES DESCRIPTION(1) VALUE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EXCHANGE-LISTED PREFERRED SECURITIES -

GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share New York Stock Exchange symbols are Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund (JPC) and Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund 2 (JQC). The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified, closed-end management investment companies. Prior to the commencement of operations of the Funds, each Fund had no operations other than those related to organizational matters, the initial capital contribution of $100,275 per Fund by Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., and the recording of the organization expenses ($11,500 per Fund) and their reimbursement by Nuveen Investments, LLC, also a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Each Fund seeks to provide high current income by investing primarily in a portfolio of preferred securities, convertible securities, and related instruments. Each Fund may also invest in other debt instruments and common stocks acquired upon conversion of a convertible security. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Securities Valuation Exchange-listed securities are generally valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities traded on a securities exchange for which there are no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. Securities traded on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. The prices of fixed-income securities are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees and based on the mean between the bid and asked prices. When price quotes are not readily available, the pricing service establishes fair market value based on prices of comparable securities. If it is determined that market prices for a security are unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for the security. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities Transactions Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At July 31, 2003, Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC) had outstanding delayed delivery purchase commitments of $26,000,000. Investment Income Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Income Taxes The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders Dividends from net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Distributions to Common shareholders of net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 39 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FundPreferred Shares Preferred and Convertible Income (JPC) has issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value FundPreferred shares. The Fund's FundPreferred shares are issued in more than one Series. The dividend rate on each Series may change every seven days, as set pursuant to a dutch auction process by the auction agent, and is payable at or near the end of each rate period. The number of shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for the Fund is as follows: PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE INCOME (JPC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M 4,720 Series T 4,720 Series W 4,720 Series TH 4,720 Series F 4,720 Series F2 4,720 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 28,320 ================================================================================ Effective May 16, 2003, Preferred and Convertible Income (JPC) issued 4,720 Series M, 4,720 Series T, 4,720 Series W, 4,720 Series TH, 4,720 Series F, and 4,720 Series F2, $25,000 stated value FundPreferred shares. Interest Rate Swap Transactions The Funds are authorized to enter into hedging transactions, including interest rate swap transactions. The Funds may use interest rate swaps with the intent to reduce or eliminate the risk that an increase in short-term interest rates could have on Common share net earnings as a result of leverage. The Funds did not enter into any interest rate swap transactions during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003. Short Sales The Funds may make short sales of securities if, at all times when a short position is open, the Funds own at least an equal amount of such securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, without payment of any further consideration, securities of the same issuer as, and at least equal in amount to, the securities sold short. The Funds will borrow the securities sold short from a broker-dealer through which the short sale is executed and the broker-dealer will deliver such securities, on behalf of the Funds, to the purchaser of such securities. Such broker-dealer will be entitled to retain the proceeds from the short sale until the Funds deliver to such broker-dealer the securities sold short. In addition, the Funds will be required to pay the broker-dealer the amount of any dividends or interest paid on securities sold short. Finally, to secure its obligation to deliver to such broker-dealer the securities sold short, the Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets in an equivalent amount of the securities sold short or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such securities without the payment of additional consideration. Short sales may protect the Funds against the risk of losses in the value of their portfolio securities because any unrealized losses with respect to such portfolio securities should be wholly or partially offset by a corresponding gain in the short position. However, any potential gain in such portfolio securities should be wholly or partially offset by a corresponding loss in the short position. The extent to which such gains or losses are offset will depend upon the amount of securities sold short relative to the amount the Funds own, either directly or indirectly, and, in the case where the Funds own convertible securities, changes in the conversion premium. The Funds will incur transaction costs in connection with short sales. 40 Repurchase Agreements In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is each Fund's policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited. Other Derivative Financial Instruments The Funds may invest in options and futures contracts, credit derivative instruments, and currency exchange transactions for the purpose of hedging their portfolios. Although the Funds are authorized to invest in such financial instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003. Offering Costs Nuveen Investments, LLC has agreed to pay all Common share offering costs (other than the sales load) that exceed $.03 per Common share for Preferred and Convertible Income (JPC), and Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC). Preferred and Convertible Income's (JPC), and Preferred and Convertible Income 2's (JQC) share of offering costs ($1,557,409, and $1,939,104, respectively) were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of Common shares. Costs incurred by Preferred and Convertible Income (JPC) in connection with its offering of FundPreferred shares ($14,569,487) was recorded as a reduction to paid-in surplus. Custodian Fee Credit Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 2.

INCOME TAX INFORMATION The following information is presented on an income tax basis based on the information currently available to the Funds. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the recognition of income on certain securities, which are treated as debt securities for income tax purposes and equity securities for financial statement purposes, and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on security transactions. At July 31, 2003, the cost of investments were as follows: PREFERRED PREFERRED AND AND CONVERTIBLE CONVERTIBLE INCOME INCOME 2 (JPC) (JQC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of investments $2,091,713,385 $2,066,058,742 ================================================================================ Gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments at July 31, 2003, were as follows: PREFERRED PREFERRED AND AND CONVERTIBLE CONVERTIBLE INCOME INCOME 2 (JPC) (JQC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross unrealized: Appreciation $ 43,078,395 $ 4,759,934 Depreciation (54,210,726) (76,285,827) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments $(11,132,331) $(71,525,893) =============================================================================== 42 The tax components of undistributed net ordinary income and net realized gains at July 31, 2003, were as follows: PREFERRED PREFERRED AND AND CONVERTIBLE CONVERTIBLE INCOME INCOME 2 (JPC) (JQC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed net ordinary income * $17,219,532 $5,712,249 Undistributed net long-term capital gains -- -- ================================================================================ *Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any. The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003, was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction as follows: PREFERRED PREFERRED AND AND CONVERTIBLE CONVERTIBLE INCOME INCOME 2 (JPC) (JQC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions from net ordinary income * $21,811,614 $-- Distributions from net long-term capital gains -- -- ================================================================================ *Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any. The Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC) has elected to defer net realized losses from investments incurred from November 1, 2002 through July 31, 2003 ("post-October losses") in accordance with Federal income tax regulations. The Fund has $1,550,040 of post-October losses that are treated as having arisen in the following fiscal year. Calculation of certain of the amounts presented above (namely, undistributed net ordinary income for tax purposes) involves the application of complex aspects of the Internal Revenue Code to certain securities held by the Funds. In calculating the amount of taxable income derived from these securities, management made assumptions as to the correct tax treatment of those securities and made estimates about the tax characteristics of income received from those securities, based on information currently available to the Funds. The use of these assumptions and estimates will not affect the qualification of the Funds as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, nor is it expected that these assumptions and estimates will be used in computing taxable income for purposes of preparing the federal and state income and excise tax returns. 5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Under each Fund's investment management agreement with the Adviser, each Fund pays an annual management fee, payable monthly, at the rates set forth below, which are based upon each Fund's average daily managed assets. "Managed Assets" means the average daily net assets of each Fund including assets attributable to FundPreferred shares and the principal amount of borrowings. AVERAGE DAILY MANAGED ASSETS MANAGEMENT FEE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $500 million .9000% For the next $500 million .8750 For the next $500 million .8500 For the next $500 million .8250 For Managed Assets over $2 billion .8000 =============================================================================== The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities.

Spectrum manages the portion of the Fund's investment portfolio allocated to preferred securities while Froley, Revy manages the portion of the investment portfolio allocated to convertible securities. Spectrum and Foley, Revy are compensated for their services to the Funds from the management fee paid to the Adviser. The Adviser is responsible for the overall strategy and asset allocation decisions as well as managing the portion of the investment portfolio allocated to other debt securities.

A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT. NUVEEN CLOSED-END EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN Your Nuveen Closed-End Exchange-Traded Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power compounding. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market. EASY AND CONVENIENT To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own. HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at 95% of the then-current market price or at net asset value, whichever is higher. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions. FLEXIBILITY You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time. For more information on the Nuveen Automatic Reinvestment Plan or to enroll in or withdraw from the Plan, speak with your financial advisor or call us at (800) 257-8787. 52 Fund INFORMATION JPC BOARD OF TRUSTEES William E.

It expresses the return (including change in NAV and reinvested dividends) that would have been necessary on an annual basis to equal the investment's actual performance over the time period being considered. Net Asset Value (NAV): A fund's NAV is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day. --------- Each Fund intends to repurchase shares of its own common or preferred stock in the future at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable. No shares were repurchased during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003. Any future repurchases will be reported to shareholders in the next annual or semiannual report. 53 Serving Investors FOR GENERATIONS Since 1898, financial advisors and their clients have relied on Nuveen Investments to provide dependable investment solutions.

Spectrum Asset Management: Spectrum's policies seek to ensure that proxies are voted solely in the best economic interests of the registrant and without undue influence from parties that may have an economic interest in the outcome of a proxy vote. Spectrum classifies proxy voting into three broad categories: Routine Administrative Items, Special Interest Issues, and Issues Having the Potential for Significant Economic Impact. Once it has analyzed and identified each issue as belonging in a particular category, Spectrum will cast the client's vote in accordance with the guidelines developed for that particular category. On any ocassion when a proxy vote presents a potential conflict of interest, Spectrum will review the matter and disclose the conflict to the client(s) to obtain prior to voting. Froley, Revy Investment Co.: Froley, Revy has adopted a proxy voting policy which requires that proxies be voted in the best ultimate long-term economic interests of the Fund. Froley, Revy's primary consideration in deciding how to vote a proxy is the ultimate eceonomic impact of a proxy proposal on the value of the comapny's stock based on Froley, Revy's independent analysis of the Stock's investment considerations. Froley, Revy utilizes a proxy committee made up of portfolio managers and research analysts. With respect to each proxy issue, the committee will analyze the economic impact on the company of voting in favor or against the proposal. Where proxy voting involves a potential conflict of interests, the committee shall disclose its conflict to the client and allow the client an opportunity to approve the recommended vote based upon the committee's communicated rationale. Symphony Asset Management: Symphony uses the services of Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"), an independent proxy voting service, which handles all proxy voting for Symphony client accounts, including the registrant.
