The dividends will be payable on December 1, 2009 to shareholders of record on November 12, 2009, with an ex-dividend date of November 9, 2009.

At October 31, 2009, the Funds’ net assets (a) were approximately:

(a) Net assets are inclusive of market value of Preferred Shares of $78,975,000 million and $161,000,000 million for PFL and PFN, respectively.

Since PFN and PFL invest predominantly in floating rate assets, the amount of each Fund’s monthly distributions to shareholders is expected to vary with fluctuations in market interest rates. The Funds, from time to time, may distribute less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in a particular period. Such undistributed net investment income would be available to supplement future distributions, including distributions that might otherwise have been reduced by a decrease in the Funds’ monthly net income due to fluctuations in investment income or expenses, or due to an increase in the dividend rate on the Funds’ outstanding Preferred Shares. As a result, the distributions paid by the Funds for any particular period may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Funds during such period.

The Funds’ investment objective is to seek high current income, consistent with the preservation of capital. There can be no assurance that the Funds will meet their stated objectives.
