A portion of a Fund's current distribution may include sources
other than net investment income, including a return of capital.
Investors should understand that a return of capital is not a
distribution from income or gains of a Fund. As required under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, a notice with the estimated
components of the distribution will be sent to shareholders at the
time of payment if it does not consist solely of net investment
income. Such notice will also be posted to the Funds' website at
www.jhinvestments.com. The notice should not be used to prepare tax
returns as the estimates indicated in the notice may differ from
the ultimate federal income tax characterization of distributions.
After the end of each calendar year, investors will be sent a Form
1099-DIV informing them how to report distributions received during
that year for federal income tax purposes.
Statements in this press release that are not historical
facts are forward-looking statements as defined by the United States securities laws. You should
exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking
statements because they are subject to uncertainties and other
factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Fund's control and
could cause actual results to differ materially from those set
forth in the forward-looking statements.
An investor should consider a Fund's investment objectives,
risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.
