(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by subtracting the value of an investment in the Fund at the beginning of the specified period from the value at the end of the period and dividing the remainder by the value of the investment at the beginning of the period and expressing the result as a percentage. The calculation assumes that all income dividends have been reinvested at prices obtained under the Funds dividend reinvestment plan. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized.
An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, price, yield and net asset value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Net asset value is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.
(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current per share dividend to shareholders by the market price per share at September 30, 2005.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:
(a) | Private Placement. Restricted as to resale and may not have a readily available market. | |
(b) | Illiquid security. | |
(c) |
These securities generally
pay interest at rates which are periodically pre-determined by reference
to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are
generally either the lending rate offered by one or more major European
banks, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks,
or the certificate of deposit rate. These securities are generally
considered to be restricted as the Fund is ordinarily contractually
obligated to received approval from the Agent bank and/or borrower
prior to disposition. Remaining maturities of Senior Loans may be less
than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional
payments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with
certainty. |
|
(d) |
144A SecuritySecurity
exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration,
typically only to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
PIMCO
Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund (the Fund), was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on February 16, 2005. Prior to commencing operations on May 31, 2005, the Fund had no operations other
than matters relating to its organization and registration as a diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the sale and issuance of 4,189 shares of beneficial interest
at an aggregate par of $100,012 to Allianz Global Investors of America, L.P. (Allianz Global). Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the Investment Manager), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz
Global. Allianz Global is an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz AG. The Fund has an unlimited amount of $0.00001
par value common stock authorized.
The Fund issued 9,300,000 shares of common stock in its initial public offering. These shares were issued at $25.00 per share before an underwriting discount of $1.125 per share. Offering cost of $465,000 (representing $0.05 per share) were offset against the proceeds of the offering and have been charged to paid-in capital in excess of par.
The Funds investment objective is to seek total return comprised of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation.
The Fund normally attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing in equity index derivative instruments relating to U.S. and non-U.S. markets, backed by an actively-managed, low duration (one to three year) debt portfolio with an average credit quality that is investment grade. The Fund currently gains substantially all of its equity index exposure by investing in equity index derivatives based on the Standard & Poors 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International® Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (the MSCI EAFE Index). The Fund also employs a strategy of writing (selling) call options on U.S. equity indexes, seeking to generate gains from option premiums which may limit the Funds gains from increases in the S&P 500 Index. Substantially all of the Funds assets ordinarily are invested in a portfolio of income-producing debt securities and debt-related derivative securities.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been asserted. However, the Fund expects the risk of any loss to be remote.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:
(a) Valuation of Investments
Portfolio
securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily
available are stated at market value. Portfolio securities and other financial
instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or if a development/event
occurs that may significantly impact the value of the security, may be fair-valued,
in good faith, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including
certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities
whose prices are more readily available. The Funds investments are valued daily by an independent pricing service, dealer quotations, or are valued at the last sale price on the exchange that is
the primary market for such securities, or the last quoted bid price for those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in which there were no sales. Prices obtained from an independent pricing
service use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The Funds investments in senior floating rate loans (Senior
Loans) for which a secondary market exists will be valued at the mean of the last available bid and asked prices in the market for such Senior Loans, as provided by an independent pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by
Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the Sub-Adviser). Such
procedures by the Sub-Adviser include consideration and evaluation of: (1) the
creditworthiness of the borrower and any intermediate participants; (2) the term
of the Senior Loan; (3) recent prices in the market for similar loans, if any;
(4) recent prices in the market for loans of similar quality, coupon rate, and
period until next interest rate reset and maturity; and (5) general economic
and market conditions affecting the fair value of the Senior Loan. Exchange traded
options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined
by the relevant exchange. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery
basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value.
Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized
14 PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund Semi-Annual Report | 9.30.05 |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(a) Valuation of Investments (continued)
cost, if their original maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the
original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. The prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements. The
Funds net asset value is determined daily at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange.
(b) Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities purchased and sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses on
investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities
using the effective interest method. Facility fees and other fees (such as origination fees) received by the Fund are amortized as income over the expected term of the loan. Commitment fees received by the Fund relating to unfunded purchase
commitments are deferred and amortized to facility fee income over the period of the commitment.
(c) Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no
provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing substantially all of its ordinary income and long-term capital gains, if any, during each calendar year the Fund intends not to be subject to U.S. federal excise
tax.
(d) Dividends and Distributions
The
Fund declares dividends from net investment income monthly to shareholders. Distributions
of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Fund records
dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The
amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized
capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations,
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These book-tax differences
are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences
are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts
based on their income tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings
and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or
distributions of paid-in capital in excess of par.
Net investment income and net realized gains differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to the treatment of amounts received under swap agreements. For the period May 31, 2005 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2005 the Fund received $4,647,199 from swap agreements which are treated as net realized gain (loss) for financial statement purposes and as net income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.
(e) Futures Contracts
A
futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial
instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract,
the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities
equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to such contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the
contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and
are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the
contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference
between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at
the time it was closed. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded
is simultaneously reversed. The use of futures transactions involves the risk
of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts,
interest rates and the underlying hedged assets, and the possible inability of
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
(f) Option Transactions
The Fund may purchase and write (sell) put and call options for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or as a part of its investment strategy. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a
premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same
manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from the securities sold through the exercise of put options is decreased by the premiums
paid.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Option Transactions (continued)
When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. These liabilities are
reflected as options written in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the
amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transactions, as a realized loss. If a call option
is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing
an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option could result in the Fund purchasing a security at a price different from the current
market.
(g) Interest Rate/Credit Default/Total Return Swaps
The
Fund enters into interest rate, credit default and total return swap contracts
(swaps) for investment purposes, to manage its interest rate and
credit risk or to add leverage.
As a seller in the credit default swap contract, the Fund would be required to pay the notional amount or other agreed-upon value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the referenced debt obligation. In return, the Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the Fund would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations. Such periodic payments are accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss).
The Fund may also purchase credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities held, in which case the Fund would function as the counterparty referenced in the preceding paragraph. As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund would receive the notional amount or other agreed upon value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer on the referenced obligation. In return, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty over the term of the contract provided no event of default has occurred. Such periodic payments are accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss).
Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with a counterparty of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Net periodic payments received by the Fund are included as part of realized gain (loss) and or change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations.
Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return on the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.
Swaps are marked to market daily by the Funds Sub-Adviser based upon quotations from market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Funds Statement of Operations. For a credit default swap sold by the Fund, payment of the agreed upon amount made by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as the cost of the referenced debt obligation purchased/received. For a credit default swap purchased by the Fund, the agreed upon amount received by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as proceeds from sale/delivery of the referenced debt obligation and the resulting gain or loss realized on the referenced debt obligation is recorded as such by the Fund.
Entering into swaps involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in net interest rates.
(h) Senior Loans
The
Fund purchases assignments of Senior Loans originated, negotiated and structured
by a U.S. or foreign commercial bank, insurance company, finance company or other
financial institution (the Agent) for a
lending syndicate of financial
16 PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund Semi-Annual Report | 9.30.05 |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(h) Senior Loans (continued) institutions (the Lender). When purchasing an assignment, the Fund succeeds all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning Lender. Assignments may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender.
(i) Repurchase Agreements
The
Fund enters into transactions with its custodian bank or securities brokerage
firms whereby it purchases securities under agreements to resell at an agreed
upon price and date (repurchase agreements).
Such agreements are carried at the contract amount in the financial statements.
Collateral pledged (the securities received), which consists primarily of U.S.
government obligations and asset-backed securities, are held by the custodian
bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase
agreements and the procedures adopted by the Fund require that the market value
of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event
of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of
the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding,
realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
(j) Reverse Repurchase Agreements
In
a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells securities to a bank or broker-dealer
and agrees to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed date and price.
Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that the Fund can recover and
reinvest all or most of the cash invested in the portfolio securities involved
during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement and still be entitled to
the returns associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are
advantageous if the interest cost to the Fund of the reverse repurchase transaction
is less than the returns it obtains on investments purchased with the cash. Unless
the Fund covers its positions in reverse repurchase agreements (by segregating
liquid assets at least equal in amount to the forward purchase commitment), its
obligations under the agreements will be subject to the Funds limitations on borrowings. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and
also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy
or becomes insolvent, the Funds use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Funds obligation to repurchase the securities. As of
September 30, 2005, the Fund had reverse repurchase agreements outstanding of $38,695,000, which was collateralized by Freddie Mac, 6.50%, due 12/1/34 to 4/1/35, with a market value of $40,170,403. The weighted average daily balance of
reverse repurchase agreements outstanding from May 31, 2005 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2005 was $39,689,353
at a weighted average interest rate of 3.63% .
(k) Custody Credits on Cash Balances
The Fund benefits from an expense offset arrangement with its custodian bank whereby uninvested cash balances earn credits which reduce monthly custodian and accounting agent expenses. Had these cash balances been
invested in income producing securities, they would have generated income for the Fund.
2. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser
The
Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (the Agreement) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Funds Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is
responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the Funds investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable
monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Funds average daily total managed
assets. Total managed assets refers to the total assets of the Fund (including
any assets attributable to any borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued
liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings).
The Investment Manager has retained its affiliate, the Sub-Adviser, to manage the Funds investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all the Funds investment decisions. The Investment Manager, not the Fund, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services, at the maximum annual rate of 0.39% of the Funds average daily net total managed assets, for the period May 31, 2005 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2007, and will receive an increasing amount thereafter.

| 9.30.05 | PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund Semi-Annual Report 19
6. Legal Proceedings
On
September 13, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) announced that the Investment Manager and two affiliates of the Investment Manager, PEA Capital LLC and PA Fund Distributors
LLC (the Affiliates) had agreed to a settlement of charges that they and certain of their officers had, among other things, violated various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with an alleged market-timing
arrangement involving trading of shares of certain open-end investment companies (open-end funds) advised or distributed by these certain Affiliates. In their settlement with the Commission, the Investment Manager and the
Affiliates consented to the entry of an order by the Commission and, without admitting or denying the findings contained in the order, agreed to implement certain compliance and governance changes and consented to cease-and-desist orders and
censures. In addition, the Investment Manager and the Affiliates agreed to pay civil money penalties in the aggregate amount of $40 million and to pay disgorgement in the amount of $10 million, for an aggregate payment of $50
million. In connection with the settlement, the Investment Manager and the Affiliates
have been dismissed from the related complaint the Commission filed on May 6,
2004 in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York. Neither
the complaint nor the order alleges any inappropriate activity took place with
respect to the Fund.
In a related action on June 1, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (NJAG) announced that it had entered into a settlement agreement with Allianz Global and the Affiliates, in connection with a complaint filed by the NJAG on February 17, 2004. In the settlement, Allianz Global and other named affiliates neither admitted nor denied the allegations or conclusions of law, but did agree to pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further potential enforcement initiatives against unrelated parties. They also undertook to implement certain governance changes. The complaint relating to the settlement contained allegations arising out of the same matters that were the subject of the Commission order regarding market-timing described above and does not allege any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
On September 15, 2004, the Commission announced that the Investment Manager and the Affiliates had agreed to settle an enforcement action in connection with charges that they violated various antifraud and other provisions of federal securities laws as a result of, among other things, their failure to disclose to the board of trustees and shareholders of various open-end funds advised or distributed by the Affiliates material facts and conflicts of interest that arose from their use of brokerage commissions on portfolio transactions to pay for so-called shelf space arrangements with certain broker-dealers. In their settlement with the Commission, the Investment Manager and the Affiliates consented to the entry of an order by the Commission without admitting or denying the findings contained in the order. In connection with the settlement, the Investment Manager and the Affiliates agreed to undertake certain compliance and disclosure reforms and consented to cease-and-desist orders and censures. In addition, the Investment Manager and the Affiliates agreed to pay a civil money penalty of $5 million and to pay disgorgement of approximately $6.6 million based upon the aggregate amount of brokerage commissions alleged to have been paid by such open-end funds in connection with these shelf-space arrangements (and related interest). In a related action, the California Attorney General announced on September 15, 2004 that it had entered into an agreement with one of the affiliates of the Investment Manager in resolution of an investigation into matters that are similar to those discussed in the Commission order. The settlement agreement resolves matters described in a complaint filed contemporaneously by the California Attorney General in the Superior Court of the State of California alleging, among other things, that this affiliate violated certain antifraud provisions of California law by failing to disclose matters related to the shelf-space arrangements described above. In the settlement agreement, the affiliate did not admit to any liability but agreed to pay $5 million in civil penalties and $4 million in recognition of the California Attorney Generals fees and costs associated with the investigation and related matters. Neither the Commission order nor the California Attorney Generals complaint alleges any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
On April 11, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia (the West Virginia Complaint) against the Investment Manager and the Affiliates based on the same circumstances as those cited in the 2004 settlements with the Commission and NJAG involving alleged market timing activities described above. The West Virginia Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Investment Manager and the Affiliates improperly allowed broker-dealers, hedge funds and investment advisers to engage in frequent trading of various open-end funds advised or distributed by the Investment Manager and the Affiliates in violation of the funds stated restrictions on market timing. As of the date of this report, the West Virginia Complaint has not been formally served upon the Investment Manager or the Affiliates. The West Virginia Complaint also names numerous other defendants unaffiliated with the Investment Manager and the Affiliates in separate claims alleging improper market timing and/or late trading of open-end investment companies advised or distributed by such other defendants.
20 PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund Semi-Annual Report | 9.30.05 |
6. Legal Proceedings (continued)
The Investment Manager and the Affiliates and the unaffiliated mutual fund defendants removed the proceeding to federal court, and on October 19, 2005, the action was transferred to the Multi-District Litigation for market-timing related actions currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, which is described below. The West Virginia Complaint seeks injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties, investigative costs and attorneys fees. The West Virginia Complaint does not allege that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and the Affiliates and certain other affiliates of the Investment Manager and their employees have been named as defendants in a total of 14 lawsuits filed in one of the following: U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, the Central District of California and the Districts of New Jersey and Connecticut. Ten of those lawsuits concern market timing, and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the remaining four lawsuits concern revenue sharing with brokers offering shelf space and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of affiliated funds during specified periods or as derivative actions on behalf of the funds.
The lawsuits generally relate to the same facts that are the subject of the regulatory proceedings discussed above. The lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution. The Investment Manager believes that other similar lawsuits may be filed in federal or state courts naming as defendants the Investment Adviser, the Affiliates, Allianz Global, the Fund, other open- and closed-end funds advised or distributed by the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates, the boards of directors or trustees of those funds, and/or other affiliates and their employees.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various regulatory proceedings or lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against the Investment Manager, Allianz Global/or their affiliates, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the Commission, be barred from serving as an investment manager/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Fund. In connection with an inquiry from the Commission concerning the status of the New Jersey settlement described above under Section 9(a), the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (together, the Applicants) have sought exemptive relief from the Commission under Section 9(c) of the 1940 Act. The Commission has granted the Applicants a temporary exemption from the provisions of Section 9(a) with respect to the New Jersey settlement until the earlier of (i) September 13, 2006 and (ii) the date on which the Commission takes final action on their application for a permanent order. There is no assurance that the Commission will issue a permanent order. There is no assurance that the SEC will issue a permanent order. If the West Virginia Attorney General were to obtain a court injunction against the Investment Manager or the Affiliates, the Investment Manager or the Affiliates would, in turn, seek exemptive relief under Section 9(c) with respect to that matter, although there is no assurance that such exemptive relief would be granted.
A putative class action lawsuit captioned Charles Mutchka et al. v. Brent R. Harris, et al., filed in January 2005 by and on behalf of individual shareholders of certain open-end funds that hold equity securities for which the Investment Manager serves as investment adviser. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California dismissed the action with prejudice on June 10, 2005. The plaintiff alleged that fund trustees, investment advisers and affiliates breached fiduciary duties and duties of care by failing to ensure that the open-end funds participated in securities class action settlements for which those funds were eligible. The plaintiff claimed as damages disgorgement of fees paid to the investment advisers, compensatory damages and punitive damages.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date hereof. There may be additional litigation or regulatory developments in connection with the matters discussed above.

Matters Relating to the

Management Agreements | |
(unaudited) |
Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees, concluded that the Funds Investment Management Agreement and Portfolio Management Agreement should be approved.
In connection with their deliberations regarding the approval of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Agreements.
In connection with their contract review meeting, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information on the investment performance of a group of open and closed-end funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives, (ii) information on the Funds management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds, (iii) information regarding the management fees of comparable portfolios of other clients of the Sub-Adviser, (iv) information regarding the financial results and financial condition of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, including consolidated financial statements of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P, the U.S. parent of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser for the Fund, such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Fund.
The Trustees conclusions as to the approval of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors.
As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Managers and Sub-Advisers abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Fund. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Fund; the ability of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Fund. In addition, the Trustees assessed the potential quality of the Investment Managers and Sub-Advisers services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Fund; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Fund; and conditions that might affect the Investment Managers or Sub-Advisers ability to provide high quality services to the Fund in the future under the Agreements, including their respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Advisers investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Fund given its investment objectives and policies, and that the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser would be able to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

Management Agreements | |
(unaudited) (continued) |
The Trustees also evaluated the procedures of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser designed to fulfill their fiduciary duty to the Fund with respect to possible conflicts of interest, including their codes of ethics (regulating the personal trading of their officers and employees), the procedures by which the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser allocate trades among their various investment advisory clients, the integrity of the systems in place to ensure compliance with the foregoing and the record of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser in these matters. The Trustees also received information concerning standards of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser with respect to the execution of portfolio transactions.
The Trustees also gave substantial consideration to the advisory fees charged by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser. Specifically, the Trustees considered the advisory fees charged under other investment advisory contracts, such as open-end and closed-end investment companies which the Investment Manager serves as the investment manager and/or the Sub-Adviser serve as portfolio manager. In that connection, the Trustees considered that for those accounts that are sub-advised registered investment companies sponsored by other investment advisers, the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser do not devote the same level of services to manage and administer those assets. The Trustees also considered the advisory fees charged by other closed-end funds that have similar investment objectives or strategies to those that would be employed by the Fund, noting that no other registered investment company utilizes interest rate strategies combined with pay forward strategies on the other side of the trade.
The Trustees also took into account that, as a closed-end investment company, the Fund does not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Fund will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of the Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.
Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called fall-out benefits to the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as investment manager and sub-adviser to the Fund, the fact that the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser will receive services from brokers who execute portfolio transactions for the Fund and, as a result of the sale of the Fund through the lead underwriter, the enhanced visibility of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser and the products and services they sponsor.
After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services to be provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Fund.
