Past performance is not indicative of future
performance. As of this announcement, the sources of each
fund distribution are estimates. Distributions may be paid from
sources of income other than ordinary income, such as short term
capital gains, long term capital gains or return of capital. If a
distribution consists of something other than ordinary income, a
Section 19(a) notice detailing the anticipated source(s) of the
distribution will be made available. The Section 19(a) notice will
be posted to a Fund’s website and to the Depository Trust &
Clearing Corporation so that brokers can distribute such notices to
Shareholders of the Fund. Section 19(a) notices are provided for
informational purposes only and not for tax reporting purposes. The
final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all
distributions in 2016 will be made after the end of the year. This
information is not legal or tax advice. Consult a professional
regarding your specific legal or tax matters.
1Guggenheim Equal Weight Enhanced Equity Income Fund (“GEQ”)
adopted a managed distribution policy (the “Distribution Policy”)
effective with the January 31, 2014 distribution. Under the terms
of the Distribution Policy, GEQ will pay a quarterly distribution
in a fixed amount until such amount is modified by the Board of
Trustees. If sufficient net investment income is not available, the
distribution will be supplemented by capital gains and, to the
extent necessary, return of capital.
The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of GEQ’s
current distribution and the cumulative distributions paid this
fiscal year to date from the following sources: net investment
income; net realized short term capital gains; net realized long
term capital gains and return of capital. All amounts are expressed
per common share.

If the Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its
income and net realized capital gains, 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 money that you invested
in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution
does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and
should not be confused with “yield” or “income”.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only
estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes.
The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting
purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during
the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes
based on tax regulations. The 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.
The following table provides GEQ’s total return performance
based on net asset value (NAV) over various time periods compared
to GEQ’s annualized and cumulative distribution rates.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no
guarantee of future results and current performance may be lower or
higher than the figures shown. Total returns in relation to NAV
reflect the Fund's total annual expenses.
You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment
performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms
of the Fund’s Distribution Policy.
