Government Fund, Inc. (NYSE:EGF) (collectively, the “Plan Funds”)
have adopted a level distribution plan (a “Plan”) and employ a
managed distribution and/or an option over-write policy to support
a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of
capital. The fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to
change at the discretion of each Plan Fund’s Board of
Directors/Trustees. Under its Plan, each Plan Fund will
distribute all available investment income to its shareholders,
consistent with its investment objectives and as required by the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If sufficient investment
income is not available on a monthly basis, each Plan Fund will
distribute long-term capital gains and/or return capital to its
shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution.
The Plan Funds’ estimated sources of the distributions paid as
of February 28, 2017 and for their current fiscal year are as
follows:

1The Plan Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its
income and net-realized capital gains in the current fiscal year;
therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of
capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or
all of the shareholder’s investment is paid back to the
shareholder. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily
reflect the Plan Fund's investment performance and should not be
confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. When distributions exceed total
return performance, the difference will reduce the Plan Fund’s net
asset value per share.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only
estimates and are not provided for tax reporting purposes. The
actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting
purposes will depend upon each Plan Fund’s investment
experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be
subject to changes based on tax regulations. Each Plan Fund will
send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you
how to report these distributions for federal income tax
purposes.
