Exhibit 99.1
Amendments to Section 10.2 of the By-laws of the Fund
10.2 Voting Power and Meetings. Except as provided in the next third sentence of this Section 10.2,
regular meetings of the Shareholders for the election of Trustees and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held, so long as Shares are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on at least
an annual basis, on such day and at such place as shall be designated by the Trustees. For the avoidance of doubt, for these purposes, on at least an annual basis is intended to permit the Trustees to set the Trusts annual
meetings for any date within the timeframes permitted by any national securities exchange on which the Trusts shares principally trade. In the event that such a meeting is not held in any annual period if so required, whether the omission
be by oversight or otherwise, a subsequent special meeting may be called by the Trustees and held in lieu of such meeting with the same effect as if held within such annual period. Special meetings of the Shareholders or any or all classes or series
of Shares may also be called by the Trustees from time to time for such other purposes as may be prescribed by law, by the Declaration of Trust or by these Bylaws, or for the purpose of taking action upon any other matter deemed by the Trustees
(including a majority of the Continuing Trustees) to be necessary or desirable. A special meeting of Shareholders may be held at any such time, day and place as is designated by the Trustees. Written notice of any meeting of Shareholders, stating
the time, day, place and purpose of the meeting shall be given or caused to be given by the Trustees at least seven days before such meeting to each Shareholder entitled to vote thereat by leaving such notice with the Shareholder at his or her
residence or usual place of business or by mailing such notice, postage prepaid, to the Shareholders address as it appears on the records of the Trust. Such notice may be given by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or by any other officer
or agent designated for such purpose by the Trustees. Whenever notice of a meeting is required to be given to a Shareholder under the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, executed before or after the meeting by such
Shareholder or his or her attorney thereunto authorized and filed with the records of the meeting, shall be deemed equivalent to such notice. Notice of a meeting need not be given to any Shareholder who attends the meeting without protesting prior
thereto or at its commencement the lack of notice to such Shareholder. No ballot shall be required for any election unless required by a Shareholder present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote in such election.
