Portfolio & Market Discussion3
Equity
The stock market has been a tale of the haves and have-nots with returns lifted by just four contributors (Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon.com) that represented 43% and 53% of the MSCI ACWI and S&P 500 YTD returns, respectively.4
Though Value outperformed Growth in 2022's market rout, Growth is again leading the charge. In the last year, the S&P 500 Growth battered Value by more than seventeen percentage points while the MSCI ACWI Growth beat the Value component by almost eleven percentage points.

Trailing Twelve-Month Index Performance5
Value managers have not had an easy time of it. In the past decade, Value has underperformed Growth by such a significant margin that it threatens its existence as an investment philosophy.6 Many investors have capitulated and fired their Value managers, pushing some Value managers into early retirement. Others have converted to the Temple of Growth.
With respect to the recent performance of the Fund, in the previous twelve months, Source's top five performers contributed 7.18% to its return while its bottom five detracted 1.38%.7
We list the top equity contributors to and detractors from the Fund's trailing twelve-month returns below.

The following investments were meaningful to the Fund's trailing twelve-month return and have not been recently discussed.9
Building materials (largely concrete, cement, and aggregates) company Holcim has performed well over the past year. In addition to strong operating performance, management has taken several steps to return value to shareholders and improve awareness of the company's underlying business strength, including repurchasing shares, increasing the dividend, and announcing plans to separate the company's North American business.

Citigroup's shares have appreciated (along with other bank stocks) from a profoundly depressed level of less than 50% of tangible book value to a modestly depressed level of 70%. We expect the company to deliver significantly improved results and sizable capital returns over the next few years.
Charter has faced challenging operating conditions that have led to its share price weakness. Competitors have been overbuilding with fiber assets and fixed wireless has proven to be meaningful. There has been concern regarding the sustainability of business derived from subsidized customers. And, the company's near-term capital spending budget has exceeded expectations. Compounding matters, its relatively high leverage ratio adds volatility to its stock price. We look forward to the company demonstrating the competitive strength of its converged (fixed and wireless) connectivity offering, ramping down capital spending, and reaccelerating share repurchases.
We remain mindful of seeking to deliver a good return while assuming reasonable risk in the hopes of avoiding permanent capital impairments. While there are many ways to mitigate portfolio risk, Source offers various types that consider company valuations, risk exposure, business quality, and diversification.
It would be difficult to argue that the market has stocks on sale. While the stock market continues to migrate higher, earnings haven't kept pace at the same rate, making the market more expensive.

Exposure is nuanced. It's not just a number. It is also a function of many squishy considerations that define business quality. Investing in higher quality businesses (e.g., those with a protective moat, good returns on capital, opportunities to attractively reinvest that capital, and an exemplary management team at its helm), should serve investors well over time. There was a time when it was easier to make money from lower quality businesses, but that is less the case today, thanks to the many disruptive businesses and new technologies that challenge them. The Fund, therefore, has focused on businesses of higher quality. What used to be price first and quality second has now reversed, with a business's quality being the first line of defense.
Fixed Income
Traditional
We do not generally see attractive investment opportunities in lower-rated debt. Yields on BBB-rated bonds remain near 15-year highs, but spreads are at the eighth percentile, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate BBB Index. Similarly, in the high yield market, yields also remain near 15-year highs, but spreads have retreated to the sixth percentile, as measured by the BB component of the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield index excluding Energy, an index we believe provides a more consistent view of high yield market prices over time with fewer distortions caused by changes in the composition of the overall high yield index.

Bloomberg US Corporate High-Yield BB excluding Energy Yield-To-Worst (YTW) and Spread11
Further, the extra spread offered by high-yield bonds in comparison to investment grade bonds has also compressed. For example, the spread on the BB-rated high yield index, excluding energy, less the spread on investment grade corporate bonds, has decreased to the fourth percentile.

Importantly, measures of the high yield market such as yield and spread do not account for the underlying quality of bonds in the market at any given point in time. It is our opinion that, on a comparable ratings basis, there has been a degradation in the quality of high yield bonds over the past few years (most notably because of weaker structural protections for bondholders) which, all things being equal, makes high yield debt more expensive than the charts above would suggest. Nevertheless, we continue to search and will opportunistically invest in lower-rated debt when we believe prices adequately compensate for the risk of permanent impairment of capital.
Private Credit
Private credit has performed well, delivering a 6.86% return year-to-date. Source currently has committed 23.4% to private credit (including called and uncalled capital). We continue to look for opportunities to increase that exposure.
Closing
On July 25, 2024, the Fund's Board approved maintaining the Fund's regular monthly distribution of the current rate of 0.2083 cents per share through November 2024.13 This equates to an annualized 5.65% unlevered distribution rate based on the Fund's closing market price on June 28, 2024.
We sincerely appreciate our investors' continued support. We commit to working as hard as ever, and hopefully more intelligently than before, as we incorporate the many new lessons gleaned from our constant reading (and listening to podcasts), our peers, the markets, and our successes and failures. We hope to guide the successful extension of our long track record by keeping front of mind the British Army's 7 P's maxim: Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
Respectfully submitted,
Source Capital Portfolio Managers

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may vary from the performance quoted. The returns shown for Source Capital are calculated at net asset value per share, including reinvestment of all distributions. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions, which would lower these figures. Since Source Capital is a closed-end investment company and its shares are bought and sold on the New York Stock Exchange, your performance may also vary based upon the market price of the common stock.

The views expressed herein and any forward-looking statements are as of the date of this publication and are those of the portfolio management team. Future events or results may vary significantly from those expressed and are subject to change at any time in response to changing circumstances and industry developments. This information and data has been prepared from sources believed reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of the information cannot be guaranteed and is not a complete summary or statement of all available data.
Portfolio composition will change due to ongoing management of the Fund. References to individual financial instruments or sectors are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as recommendations by the Fund or the portfolio managers.

Investing in closed-end funds involves risk, including loss of principal. Closed-end fund shares may frequently trade at a discount (less than) or premium (more than) to their net asset value. If the Fund's shares trade at a premium to net asset value, there is no assurance that any such premium will be sustained for any period of time and will not decrease, or that the shares will not trade at a discount to net asset value thereafter.
Capital markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. It is important to remember that there are risks inherent in any investment and there is no assurance that any investment or asset class will provide positive performance over time.
The Fund may purchase foreign securities, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and other depository receipts, which are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic and political risks; these risks may be heightened when investing in emerging markets. Non-U.S. investing presents additional risks, such as the potential for adverse political, currency, economic, social or regulatory developments in a country, including lack of liquidity, excessive taxation, and differing legal and accounting standards. Non-U.S. securities, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and other depository receipts, are also subject to interest rate and currency exchange rate risks.
The return of principal in a fund that invests in fixed income instruments is not guaranteed. The Fund's investments in fixed income instruments have the same issuer, interest rate, inflation and credit risks that are associated with underlying fixed income instruments owned by the Fund. Such investments may be secured, partially secured or unsecured and may be unrated, and whether or not rated, may have speculative characteristics. The market price of the Fund's fixed income investments will change in response to changes in interest rates and other factors.
Generally, when interest rates go up, the value of fixed income instruments, such as bonds, typically go down (and vice versa) and investors may lose principal value. Credit risk is the risk of loss of principle due to the issuer's failure to repay a loan. Generally, the lower the quality rating of an instrument, the greater the risk that the issuer will fail to pay interest fully and return principal in a timely manner. If an issuer defaults, the security may lose some or all its value. Lower rated bonds, convertible securities and other types of debt obligations involve greater risks than higher rated bonds.
Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, can be highly sensitive to changes in interest rates, and are subject to credit risk/risk of default on the underlying assets... Convertible securities are generally not investment grade and are subject to greater credit risk than higher-rated investments. High yield securities can be volatile and subject to much higher instances

of default. The Fund may experience increased costs, losses and delays in liquidating underlying securities should the seller of a repurchase agreement declare bankruptcy or default.
The ratings agencies that provide ratings are Standard and Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch. Credit ratings range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Bonds rated BBB or above are considered investment grade (IG). Credit ratings of BB and below are lower-rated securities (junk bonds). High-yielding, non-investment grade bonds (junk bonds) (HY) involve higher risks than investment grade bonds. Bonds with credit ratings of CCC or below have high default risk.
Private placement securities are securities that are not registered under the federal securities laws and are generally eligible for sale only to certain eligible investors. Private placements may be illiquid, and thus more difficult to sell, because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such investments, and the sale of such investments may also be restricted under securities laws.
The Fund may use leverage. While the use of leverage may help increase the distribution and return potential of the Fund, it also increases the volatility of the Fund's net asset value (NAV), and potentially increases volatility of its distributions and market price. There are costs associated with the use of leverage, including ongoing dividend and/or interest expenses. There also may be expenses for issuing or administering leverage. Leverage changes the Fund's capital structure through the issuance of preferred shares and/or debt, both of which are senior to the common shares in priority of claims. If short-term interest rates rise, the cost of leverage will increase and likely will reduce returns earned by the Fund's common stockholders.
Value style investing presents the risk that the holdings or securities may never reach their full market value because the market fails to recognize what the portfolio management team considers the true business value or because the portfolio management team has misjudged those values. In addition, value style investing may fall out of favor and underperform growth or other styles of investing during given periods.
Distribution Rate
Distributions may include the net income from dividends and interest earned by fund securities, net capital gains, or in certain cases it may include a return of capital. The Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of a calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. All mutual funds, including closed-end funds, periodically distribute profits they earn to investors. By law, if a fund has net gains from the sale of securities, or if it earns dividends and interest from securities, it must pass substantially all of those earnings to its shareholders or it will be subject to corporate income taxes and excise taxes. These taxes would, in effect, reduce investors' total return. First Pacific Advisors, LP does not provide legal, accounting, or tax advice.
The Fund's distribution rate may be affected by numerous factors, including changes in realized and projected market returns, Fund performance, and other factors. There can be no assurance that a change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in the Fund's distribution rate at a future time.
Index Definitions
Comparison to any index is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as a fully accurate measure of comparison. The Fund may be less diversified than the indices noted herein and may hold non-index securities or securities that are not comparable to those contained in an index. Indices will hold positions that are not within the Fund's investment strategy. Indices are unmanaged and do not reflect any commissions, transaction costs, or fees and expenses which would be incurred by an investor purchasing the underlying securities and which would reduce the performance in an actual account. You cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund does not include outperformance of any index in its investment objectives.

Market Cycles, also known as stock market cycles, is a wide term referring to trends or patterns that emerge during different markets or business environments.
Morningstar Large-Blend Category portfolios are fairly representative of the overall U.S. stock market in size, growth rates, and price. Stocks in the top 70% of the capitalization of the U.S. equity market are defined as large cap. The blend style is assigned to portfolios where neither growth nor value characteristics predominate. These portfolios tend to invest across the spectrum of U.S. industries, and owing to their broad exposure, the portfolios' returns are often similar to those of the S&P 500 Index. As of June 30, 2024, there were 324 funds in the category.
Morningstar Large-Growth Category portfolios are fairly representative of the overall U.S. stock market in size, growth rates, and price. Stocks in the top 70% of the capitalization of the U.S. equity market are defined as large cap. The growth style is assigned to portfolios where growth characteristics predominate. These portfolios tend to invest across the spectrum of U.S. industries, and owing to their broad exposure, the portfolios' returns are often similar to those of the S&P 500 Index.

Net Asset Value (NAV) represents the net value of a mutual fund and is calculated as the total value of the fund's assets minus the total value of its liabilities and is shown as a per share price.
Net Debt is calculated by subtracting a company's total cash and cash equivalents from its total short-term and long-term debt.
Net Income (NI), also called net earnings, is calculated as sales minus cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, depreciation, interest, taxes, and other expenses.
Price to Book is used to compare a firm's market capitalization to its book value. It's calculated by dividing the company's stock price per share by its book value per share (BVPS).

Shareholder Equity is a company's net worth and it is equal to the total dollar amount that would be returned to the shareholders if the company must be liquidated and all its debts are paid off. Thus, shareholder equity is equal to a company's total assets minus its total liabilities.
Standard Deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean.
Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. In most cases, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security. Volatility is often measured as either the standard deviation or variance between returns from that same security or market index.
Spread reflects the quoted spread of a bond that is relative to the security off which it is priced, typically an on the-run treasury.
Yield is the discount rate that links the bond's cash flows to its current dollar price.

* Non-income producing security.
(a) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are restricted and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration normally to qualified institutional buyers. The total value of these securities is $61,793,430, which represents 16.42% of Net Assets.
(b) Variable or floating rate security.
(c) The value of these securities was determined using significant unobservable inputs. These are reported as Level 3 securities in the Fair Value Hierarchy.
(d) Restricted securities. These restricted securities constituted 19.44% of total net assets at June 30, 2024, most of which are considered liquid by the Adviser. These securities are not registered and may not be sold to the public. There are legal and/or contractual restrictions on resale. The Fund does not have the right to demand that such securities be registered. The values of these securities are determined by valuations provided by pricing services, brokers, dealers, market makers, or in good faith under policies adopted by authority of the Fund's Board of Directors.
(e) Bank loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. All loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate, or (iv) Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Bank Loans, while exempt from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy.
(f) As of June 30, 2024, the Fund had entered into commitments to fund various delayed draw debt-related investments. Such commitments are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the documents governing those investments and there can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied. See Note 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements for further information on these commitments and contingencies.
(g) Payment-in-kind interest is generally paid by issuing additional par/shares of the security rather than paying cash.
(h) Security is in default.
(i) All or a portion of the loan is unfunded.
(j) Perpetual security. Maturity date is not applicable.
(k) Investment valued using net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient.
(l) The rate is the annualized seven-day yield at period end.

SOURCE CAPITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Organization
Source Capital, Inc. (the "Fund"), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek maximum total return for Common shareholders from both capital appreciation and investment income to the extent consistent with protection of invested capital. First Pacific Advisors, LP (the "Adviser") has served as the Fund's investment adviser since inception.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification No. 946 "Financial Services—Investment Companies."
NOTE 2—Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(a) Valuation of Investments
The Fund values equity securities at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange or in the principal over the counter ("OTC") market in which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if the last-quoted sales price is not readily available, the securities will be valued at the last bid or the mean between the last available bid and ask price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Debt securities are valued by utilizing a price supplied by independent pricing service providers. The independent pricing service providers may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. These models generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. If a price is not readily available for a portfolio security, the security will be valued at fair value (the amount which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale). The Board of Directors has designated the Adviser as the Fund's valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee") to make all fair value determinations with respect to the Fund's portfolio investments, subject to the Board's oversight. As the Valuation Designee, the Adviser has adopted and implemented policies and procedures to be followed when the Fund must utilize fair value pricing.
(b) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Fund records a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors, including a jurisdiction's legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention. Discounts on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Premiums for callable debt securities are amortized to the earliest call date, if the call price was less than the purchase price. If the call price was not at par and the security was not called, the security is amortized to the next call price and date.
(c) Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), representing direct or indirect interests in pools of underlying residential or commercial mortgage loans that are secured by real property. These securities provide investors with payments consisting of both principal and interest as the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pools are paid.
The timely payment of principal and interest (but not the market value) on MBS issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae (formally known as the Government National Mortgage Association or GNMA) is backed by Ginnie Mae and the full faith and credit of the US government. Obligations issued by Fannie Mae (formally known as the Federal National Mortgage Association or FNMA) and Freddie Mac (formally known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or FHLMC) are historically supported only by the credit of the issuer, but currently are guaranteed by the US government in connection with such agencies being placed temporarily into conservatorship by the US government. Some MBS are sponsored or issued by private entities. Payments of principal and interest (but not the market value) of such private MBS may be supported by pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans or other MBS that are guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the US government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, or they may be issued without any government guarantee of the underlying mortgage assets but may contain some form of non-government credit enhancement.

SOURCE CAPITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO") are a type of MBS. A CMO is a debt security that may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities. The mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities are divided into classes or tranches with each class having its own characteristics. Investors typically receive payments out of the interest and principal on the underlying mortgages. The portions of these payments that investors receive, as well as the priority of their rights to receive payments, are determined by the specific terms of the CMO class.
The yield characteristics of MBS differ from those of traditional debt securities. Among the major differences are that interest and principal payments are made more frequently, usually monthly, and that principal may be prepaid at any time because the underlying mortgage loans or other obligations generally may be prepaid at any time. Prepayments on a pool of mortgage loans are influenced by a variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors. Generally, prepayments on fixed-rate mortgage loans will increase during a period of falling interest rates and decrease during a period of rising interest rates. Certain classes of CMOs and other MBS are structured in a manner that makes them extremely sensitive to changes in prepayment rates.
(d) Asset-Backed Securities
Asset-backed securities include pools of mortgages, loans, receivables or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities, and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. The value of asset-backed securities may also be affected by the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the financial institution(s) providing the credit support. In addition, asset-backed securities are not backed by any governmental agency.
Collateralized Debt Obligations ("CDOs") include Collateralized Bond Obligations ("CBOs"), Collateralized Loan Obligations ("CLOs") and other similarly structured securities. CBOs and CLOs are types of asset backed securities. A CBO is a trust which is backed by a diversified pool of high risk, below investment grade fixed income securities. A CLO is a trust typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. The risks of an investment in a CDO depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the class of the CDO in which a Fund invests. CDOs carry additional risks including, but not limited to, (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, (ii) the collateral may decline in value or default, (iii) a Fund may invest in CDOs that are subordinate to other classes, and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.
(e) Stripped Mortgage-Backed Interest Only ("I/O") and Principal Only ("P/O") Securities
Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest payments on the underlying mortgages (the I/O class), while the other class will receive all of the principal payments (the P/O class). The Fund currently has investments in I/O securities. The yield to maturity on I/Os is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield-to-maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in I/Os.
(f) Credit Risk
Debt securities are subject to credit risk, meaning that the issuer of the debt security may default or fail to make timely payments of principal or interest. The values of any of the Fund's investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are generally subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage-and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain securities held by the Fund.
(g) Special Purpose Acquisition Companies
The Fund may invest in stock, warrants, and other securities of special purpose acquisition companies ("SPACs") or similar special purpose entities that pool funds to seek potential acquisition opportunities. Because SPACs and similar entities are in essence
23
SOURCE CAPITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
blank check companies without operating history or ongoing business other than seeking acquisitions, the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity's management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. An investment in a SPAC is subject to a variety of risks, including that (i) a portion of the monies raised by the SPAC for the purpose of effecting an acquisition or merger may be expended prior to the transaction for payment of taxes and other purposes; (ii) prior to any acquisition or merger, a SPAC's assets are typically invested in government securities, money market funds and similar investments whose returns or yields may be significantly lower than those of the Fund's other investments; (iii) the Fund generally will not receive significant income from its investments in SPACs (both prior to and after any acquisition or merger) and, therefore, the Fund's investments in SPACs will not significantly contribute to the Fund's distributions to shareholders; (iv) an attractive acquisition or merger target may not be identified at all, in which case the SPAC will be required to return any remaining monies to shareholders; (v) if an acquisition or merger target is identified, the Fund may elect not to participate in the proposed transaction or the Fund may be required to divest its interests in the SPAC due to regulatory or other considerations, in which case the warrants or other rights with respect to the SPAC held by the Fund may expire worthless or may be repurchased or retired by the SPAC at an unfavorable price; (vi) any proposed merger or acquisition may be unable to obtain the requisite approval, if any, of SPAC shareholders; (vii) under any circumstances in which the Fund receives a refund of all or a portion of its original investment (which typically represents a pro rata share of the proceeds of the SPAC's assets, less any applicable taxes), the returns on that investment may be negligible, and the Fund may be subject to opportunity costs to the extent that alternative investments would have produced higher returns; (viii) to the extent an acquisition or merger is announced or completed, shareholders who redeem their shares prior to that time may not reap any resulting benefits; (ix) the Fund may be delayed in receiving any redemption or liquidation proceeds from a SPAC to which it is entitled; (x) an acquisition or merger once effected may prove unsuccessful and an investment in the SPAC may lose value; (xi) an investment in a SPAC may be diluted by additional later offerings of interests in the SPAC or by other investors exercising existing rights to purchase shares of the SPAC; (xii) only a thinly traded market for shares of or interests in a SPAC may develop, or there may be no market at all, leaving the Fund unable to sell its interest in a SPAC or to sell its interest only at a price below what the Fund believes is the SPAC interest's intrinsic value; and (xiii) the values of investments in SPACs may be highly volatile and may depreciate significantly over time. There were no Private Investment in Public Equity ("PIPE") share purchase commitments for the SPACs the Fund invested in as of June 30, 2024.
(h) Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements permit the Fund to maintain liquidity and earn income over periods of time as short as overnight. Repurchase agreements held by the Fund are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities, or securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, or securities that are within the three highest credit categories assigned by established rating agencies (Aaa, Aa, or A by Moody's or AAA, AA or A by Standard & Poor's) or, if not rated by Moody's or Standard & Poor's, are of equivalent investment quality as determined by the Adviser. Such collateral is in the possession of the Fund's custodian. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its fair value equals or exceeds the current fair value of the repurchase agreements including accrued interest. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement ("MRA"). The MRA permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty's bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a fair value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund's obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. There were no repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2024.
(i) Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and ask prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired or sold. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange prevailing when accrued.
Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions represents foreign exchange gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign fixed income investments, holding of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on foreign investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains and
24
SOURCE CAPITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.
(j) Use of Estimates
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(k) Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income or excise taxes. Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains and losses for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the income and realized gains and losses are recorded by the Fund.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (the "Income Tax Statement") requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund's tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a "more-likely-than-not" standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.
The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Fund to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund's current tax year, as defined by the IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of June 30, 2024, and during the prior three open tax years, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examinations in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
(l) Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund will make distributions of net investment income monthly and net capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders 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 GAAP.
The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain (loss) items for financial statement and tax purposes.
NOTE 3—Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement ("the "Agreement"), the Fund pays a monthly investment advisory fee to the Adviser at the annual rate of 0.725% for the first $100 million, 0.700% for the next $100 million, and 0.675% in excess of $200 million of average total net assets of the last business day of each month.
The Agreement obligates the Adviser to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Fund to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, the cost of brokerage and research services, legal expenses related to portfolio securities, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation) do not exceed 1.50% of the first $30 million and 1.00% of the remaining average total net assets of the last business day of each month. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Adviser did not waive any portion of its advisory fee.
UMB Fund Services, Inc. ("UMBFS") serves as the Fund's fund accountant and co-administrator; and Mutual Fund Administration, LLC ("MFAC") serves as the Fund's other co-administrator. UMB Bank, n.a., an affiliate of UMBFS, serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund's allocated fees incurred for fund accounting, fund administration, and custody services for the six months ended June 30, 2024, were $86,908. The inclusion of such fees are reported as Fund services fees on the Statement of Operations.
Equiniti Trust Company, LLC serves as the Fund's transfer agent. The Fund's allocated fees incurred for transfer agent services for the six months ended June 30, 2024, were $129,334. The inclusion of such fees are reported as Fund service fees on the Statement of Operations.
25
SOURCE CAPITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
Certain directors and officers of the Fund are employees of UMBFS, MFAC or the Adviser. The Fund does not compensate directors and officers affiliated with the Fund's co-administrators or the Adviser. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fund's allocated fees incurred to directors of the Fund who are not "interested persons" of the Fund, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (collectively, the "Independent Directors") were $11,567. Such fees are reported on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund's Board of Directors adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan") for the Independent Directors that enables Directors to elect to receive payment in cash or the option to defer some or all of their fees. If a director elects to defer payment, the Plan provides for the creation of a deferred payment account. A Director's deferred fees are deemed to be invested in designated mutual funds available under the Plan. The Fund's liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes in the invested fund and remains a liability to the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The Directors Deferred compensation liability under the Plan constitutes a general unsecured obligation of the Fund and is disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Contributions made under the plan and the change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation and income are included in the Directors' fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, no Directors fees were deferred.
Dziura Compliance Consulting, LLC provides Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") services to the Fund. The Fund's allocated fees incurred for CCO services for the six months ended June 30, 2024, were $1,070. Such fees are reported on the Statement of Operations.
NOTE 4—Federal Income Taxes
At June 30, 2024, gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.
NOTE 5—Investment Transactions
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $2,792,414 and $27,367,591, respectively.
NOTE 6—Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
NOTE 7—Commitments and Contingencies
The Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments. Unfunded loan commitments may be partially or wholly unfunded. During the contractual period, the Fund is obliged to provide funding to the borrower upon demand. Unfunded loan commitments are fair valued in accordance with the valuation policy described in Note 2(a) and unrealized appreciation or depreciation, if any, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of June 30, 2024, the total unfunded amount was 2.32% of the Fund's net assets.
As of June 30, 2024, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments outstanding:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
As of June 30, 2024, the Fund valued its limited partnerships using NAV as a practical expedient. These limited partnerships are closed-end credit partnerships and the Fund was liable for unfunded commitments of $11,825,255. The Fund cannot redeem from these partnerships and will receive distributions from the limited partnerships as their credit investments are liquidated.
NOTE 8—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or a liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement.
Under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad Levels as described below:
• Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
• Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
• Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of June 30, 2024, in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:

(1) This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect.
(2) The Third Party Broker Quote technique for Level 3 securities involves obtaining an independent third-party broker quote for the security.
(3) The fair value of the investment is based on the initial purchase price or more recent capital activity. If the financial condition of the underlying assets were to deteriorate, or if the market comparables were to fall, the value of the investment could be lower.
(4) The Pricing Model technique for Level 3 securities involves the last reported trade in the security.
(5) The fair value of the investment is based on capital funding terms and discounted based on market trends. If the financial condition of the underlying assets were to deteriorate, or if the market comparables were to fall, the value of the investment could be lower.
(6) The Pricing Model technique for Level 3 securities involves the issuance of non-tradable rights with no set exercise date.
(7) The Pricing Model technique for Level 3 securities involves recently quoted funding prices of the security.
(8) The Pricing Model technique for Level 3 securities involves the last provided vendor price of the security.
(9) The Pricing Model technique for Level 3 securities involves the potential of likelihood of future bankruptcy distributions.

The Fund did not issue any shares of Common Stock under its Dividend Reinvestment Plan for shareholders during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

common stock of up to 10% of the Fund's outstanding shares during the twelve-month period beginning January 1, 2023. The Fund expects to repurchase its common stock when the discount to NAV of the trading price of its common stock on the NYSE is greater than 5%, subject to various factors, including the ability of the Fund to raise cash to repurchase shares in a tax-efficient manner.
NOTE 10—Restricted Securities
Restricted securities include securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and securities that are subject to restrictions on resale. The Fund may invest in restricted securities that are consistent with the Fund's investment objective and investment strategies. Investments in restricted securities are valued at net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value, or fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. It is possible that the estimated value may differ significantly from the amount that might ultimately be realized in the near term, and the difference could be material.
As of June 30, 2024, the Fund invested in the following restricted securities:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
NOTE 11—Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risks
Certain local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness and/or other public health issues, financial institution instability or other events may have a significant impact on a security or instrument. These types of events and other like them are collectively referred to as "Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks" and they may have adverse impacts on the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial health of individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Some of the impacts noted in recent times include but are not limited to embargos, political actions, supply chain disruptions, bank failures, restrictions to investment and/or monetary movement including the forced selling of securities or the inability to participate impacted markets. The duration of these events could adversely affect the Funds' performance, the performance of the securities in which the Funds invest and may lead to losses on your investment. The ultimate impact of "Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks" on the financial performance of the Funds' investments is not reasonably estimable at this time. Management is actively monitoring these events.
NOTE 12—New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 24, 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") adopted rule and form amendments to require mutual funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information deemed important for retail investors to assess and monitor their fund investments. Certain information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in the funds' streamlined shareholder reports but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. The Fund has adopted procedures in accordance with the SEC's rules and form amendments.
NOTE 13—Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End
The Fund has adopted financial reporting rules regarding subsequent events which require an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. Management has evaluated the Fund's related events and transactions that occurred through the date of issuance of the Fund's financial statements.

SOURCE CAPITAL, INC.
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)
At an in-person meeting held on April 16, 2024, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Source Capital, Inc. (the "Fund"), including the directors who are not "interested persons" of the Fund (the "Independent Directors") as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), reviewed and unanimously approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Fund and First Pacific Advisors, LP (the "Advisor") for an additional one-year period from when it otherwise would expire. In approving renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Directors, determined that such renewal was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
Background. In advance of the meeting, the Board received information about the Fund and the Advisory Agreement from the Advisor and from Mutual Fund Administration, LLC and UMB Fund Services, Inc., the Fund's co-administrators, certain portions of which are discussed below. The materials, among other things, included information about the Advisor's organization and financial condition; information regarding the background, experience, and compensation structure of relevant personnel providing services to the Fund; information about the Advisor's compliance policies and procedures, disaster recovery and contingency planning, and policies with respect to portfolio execution and trading; information regarding the profitability of the Advisor's overall relationship with the Fund; reports comparing the performance of the Fund with returns of a blended index consisting of 60% MSCI All Country World Index and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "60/40 Blended Index") and a group of comparable funds (the "Peer Group") selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") from Morningstar, Inc.'s Moderate Allocation category (the "Fund Universe") for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2023; and reports comparing the investment advisory fee and total expenses of the Fund with those of the Peer Group and Fund Universe. The Board also received a memorandum from legal counsel to the Fund and the Independent Directors discussing the legal standards under the 1940 Act and other applicable law for their consideration of the proposed renewal of the Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Board considered information reviewed by the Board during the year at other Board and Board committee meetings.
In renewing the Advisory Agreement, the Independent Directors met separately in an executive session prior to the meeting with the Board to consider the Advisory Agreement, including the items discussed below, and were represented by their legal counsel with respect to the matters considered. The Board, including all of the Independent Directors, then met and also considered a variety of factors for renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including those discussed below. In their deliberations, the Board and the Independent Directors did not identify any particular factor that was controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weights to the various factors.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. With respect to the performance results of the Fund, the meeting materials indicated that the Fund's annualized total returns for the one-, three-, and five-year periods were above the Peer Group and Fund Universe median returns and the 60/40 Blended Index returns. The Fund's annualized total return for the ten-year period was above the Fund Universe median return and the 60/40 Blended Index return, and was the same as the Peer Group median return.
The Board noted its familiarity with the Advisor and considered the overall quality of services provided by the Advisor to the Fund. In doing so, the Board considered the Advisor's specific responsibilities in day-to-day management and oversight of the Fund, as well as the qualifications, experience, and responsibilities of the personnel involved in the activities of the Fund. The Board also considered the overall quality of the organization and operations of the Advisor, as well as its compliance structure. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that based on the various factors they had reviewed, the nature, overall quality, and extent of the management and oversight services provided by the Advisor to the Fund were satisfactory.
Advisory Fee and Expense Ratio. With respect to the advisory fee paid by the Fund, the meeting materials indicated that the annual investment advisory fee (gross of fee waivers) was below the Peer Group and Fund Universe medians. The Directors considered that the Advisor does not manage any other accounts with the same objectives and policies as the Fund, and therefore they did not have a good basis for comparing the Fund's advisory fee with those of other similar client accounts of the Advisor. The Directors also considered that the Fund's advisory fee was within the range of advisory fees paid by other registered funds managed by the Advisor. The annual total expenses paid by the Fund (net of fee waivers) for the Fund's most recent fiscal year were lower than the Peer Group and Fund Universe medians.
The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that based on the factors they had reviewed, the compensation payable to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services the Advisor provides to the Fund.

Advisor Profitability and Costs. The Board and the Independent Directors considered information provided by the Advisor regarding the Advisor's costs in providing services to the Fund, the profitability of the Advisor and the benefits to the Advisor from its relationship to the Fund. They reviewed and considered the Advisor's representations regarding its assumptions and methods of allocating certain costs, such as personnel costs, which constitute the Advisor's largest operating cost, and overhead costs with respect to the provision of investment advisory services. The Independent Directors discussed with the Advisor the general process through which individuals' compensation is determined and then reviewed by the management committee of the Advisor, as well as the Advisor's methods for determining that its compensation levels are set at appropriate levels to attract and retain the personnel necessary to provide high quality professional investment advice. The Board and the Independent Directors recognized that the Advisor is entitled under the law to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that it provides to the Fund. Recognizing the difficulty in evaluating an investment advisor's profitability with respect to the funds it manages in the context of an advisor with multiple lines of business, and noting that other profitability methodologies might also be reasonable, the Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the profit of the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board and the Independent Directors considered, and discussed with the Advisor, whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether the advisory fee rate is reasonable in relation to the Fund's asset levels and any economies of scale that may exist. The Board and the Independent Directors considered the Advisor's representation that its internal costs of providing investment management services to the Fund have increased in recent years as a result of a number of factors, including the ongoing and growing complexity of the Fund's investments, as well as the Advisor's investment in building a highly-seasoned trading, compliance, valuation, client service and operations staff to support the Advisor's investment teams. The Directors also noted the Advisor's representation that it would continue making such investments in its personnel, systems, and facilities in an effort to maintain and increase the level and quality of services that it provides to the Fund. The Directors also considered the Advisor's willingness to close funds to new investors when it believes that a fund has limited capacity to grow or when it otherwise would be detrimental to fund shareholders.
The Board and the Independent Directors recognized that the advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not have breakpoints. They considered that many registered funds have breakpoints in the advisory fee structure as a means by which to share in the benefits of potential economies of scale as a fund's assets grow. They also considered that not all funds have breakpoints in their fee structures and that breakpoints are not the exclusive means of sharing potential economies of scale. The Board and the Independent Directors considered the Advisor's statement that it believes that breakpoints are currently not warranted for the Fund given the ongoing investments the Advisor is making in its business for the benefit of the Fund, uncertainties regarding the direction of the economy, and uncertainties regarding future growth or contraction in the Fund's assets, all of which could negatively impact the Advisor's profitability. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the Fund is benefitting from the ongoing investments made by the Advisor in its team of personnel serving the Fund and in the Advisor's service infrastructure, and that in light of these investments, the addition of breakpoints to the Fund's advisory fee structure was not warranted at current asset levels.
Benefits to the Advisor. The Board and the Independent Directors considered other "fall out" benefits to the Advisor as a result of its relationship with the Fund, other than the advisory fee, including research services provided to it by broker-dealers providing execution services to the Fund, the beneficial effects from the review by the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer of the Advisor's compliance program, the intangible benefits of its association with the Fund generally, and any favorable publicity arising in connection with the Fund's performance.
Conclusion. Based on these and other factors, the Board and the Independent Directors concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and, accordingly, approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement.

SUMMARY OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Holders of record (other than brokers or nominees of banks and other financial institutions) of Common Stock are eligible to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("Plan"), pursuant to which distributions to shareholders are paid in or reinvested in shares of Common Stock of the Fund ("Dividend Shares"). Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, acts as the "Agent" for Plan participants. All correspondence with the Agent should be sent to: Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, Attn: Shareholder Relations Department, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, 11219.
A shareholder may join the Plan by signing and returning an authorization form that may be obtained from the Agent. A shareholder may elect to withdraw from the Plan at any time by written notice to the Agent and thereby elect to receive cash in lieu of Dividend Shares. There is no penalty for withdrawal from the Plan, and shareholders who have previously withdrawn from the Plan may rejoin at any time. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan.
Purchases of the Fund's shares are made by the Agent, on behalf of the participants in the Plan, promptly after receipt of funds, and in no event later than 30 days from such receipt except when restricted under applicable federal securities laws. The Agent purchases outstanding shares in the market when the price plus estimated commissions of the Fund's Common Stock on the NYSE is lower than the Fund's most recently calculated net asset value per share. To the extent that outstanding shares are not available at a cost of less than per share net asset value, the Agent, on behalf of the participants in the Plan, accepts payment of the dividend, or the remaining portion thereof, in authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Fund on the payment date. Such shares are issued at a per share price equal to the higher of (1) the net asset value per share on the payment date, or (2) 95% of the closing market price per share on the payment date. There are no brokerage charges with respect to shares issued directly by the Fund to satisfy the dividend
reinvestment requirements. However, each participant pays a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Agent's open market purchases of shares. In each case, the cost per share of shares purchased for each shareholder's account is the average cost, including brokerage commissions, of any shares purchased in the open market plus the cost of any shares issued by the Fund.
For Federal income tax purposes, shareholders who reinvest distributions are treated as receiving distributions in an amount equal to the fair market value, determined as of the payment date, of the shares received if the shares are purchased from the Fund. Such value may exceed the amount of the cash distribution that would have been paid. If outstanding shares are purchased in the open market, the taxable distribution equals the cash distribution that would have been paid. In either event, the cost basis in the shares received equals the amount recognized as a taxable distribution.
In the case of foreign participants whose dividends are subject to United States income tax withholding and in the case of any participants subject to 31% federal backup withholding, the Agent will reinvest dividends after deduction of the amount required to be withheld.
All record holders of Common Stock are also offered the opportunity, on a voluntary basis, to send in cash payments of not less than $100 each up to a total of $7,500 per month to purchase additional shares of the Common Stock of the Fund through participation in the Cash Investment Plan ("Cash Plan"). Under the Cash Plan, shares are purchased in the market and no shares are issued by the Fund. A brochure describing the terms and conditions of the Cash Plan, including fees and expenses, is available from the Agent.
