■ | The Fund will not purchase portfolio securities when borrowings exceed 5% of the value of its total assets unless this policy is changed by the Board. |
■ | The aggregate value of the securities underlying call options and the obligations underlying put options (as of the date the options are sold) will not exceed 25% of the Fund's net assets. In addition, the Fund will not enter into futures contracts or related options if the aggregate initial margin and premiums exceed 5% of the market value of the Fund's total assets, taking into account unrealized profits and losses on such contracts; provided, however, that in the case of an option that is in-the-money, the in-the-money amount may be excluded in computing such 5%. The above restriction does not apply to the purchase or sale of futures contracts and related options for bona fide hedging purposes, within the meaning of regulations of the CFTC. The Fund does not intend to purchase options on equity securities or securities indexes if the aggregate premiums paid for such outstanding options would exceed 10% of the Fund's total assets. |
■ | When the Fund writes a call option on a broadly-based stock market index, the Fund will segregate with its custodian, or pledge to a broker as collateral for the option, cash or other liquid assets, with a market value at the time the option is written of not less than 100% of the current index value times the multiplier times the number of contracts. |
■ | If the Fund has written an option on an industry or market segment index, it will segregate with its custodian, or pledge to a broker as collateral for the option, at least ten “qualified securities,” all of which are stocks of issuers in such industry or market segment, and that, in the judgment of the investment subadviser, substantially replicate the movement of the index with a market value at the time the option is written of not less than 100% of the current index value times the multiplier times the number of contracts. Such stocks will include stocks which represent at least 50% of the weighting of the industry or market segment index and will represent at least |
50% of the Fund's holdings in that industry or market segment. No individual security will represent more than 15% of the amount so segregated or pledged in the case of broadly-based stock market index options or 25% of such amount in the case of industry or market segment index options. | |
■ | If at the close of business on any day the market value of such qualified securities so segregated or pledged falls below 100% of the current index value times the multiplier times the number of contracts, the Fund will so segregate or pledge an amount in cash or other liquid assets equal in value to the difference. In addition, when the Fund writes a call on an index which is in-the-money at the time the call is written, the Fund will segregate with its custodian or pledge to the broker as collateral cash or other liquid assets equal in value to the amount by which the call is in-the-money times the multiplier times the number of contracts. Any amount segregated pursuant to the foregoing sentence may be applied to the Fund's obligation to segregate additional amounts in the event that the market value of the qualified securities falls below 100% of the current index value times the multiplier times the number of contracts. A “qualified security” is an equity security which is listed on a national securities exchange or listed on NASDAQ against which the Fund has not written a stock call option and which has not been hedged by the Fund by the sale of stock index futures. However, if the Fund holds a call on the same index as the call written where the exercise price of the call held is equal to or less than the exercise price of the call written or greater than the exercise price of the call written if the difference is maintained by the Fund in cash or other liquid assets segregated with its custodian, it will not be subject to the requirements described in this paragraph. |
■ | The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in derivatives. |

I. | Policy |
II. | Procedures |
■ | Jennison managing the pension plan of the issuer. |
■ | Jennison or its affiliates have a material business relationship with the issuer. |
■ | Jennison investment professionals who are related to a person who is senior management or a director at a public company. |
■ | Jennison has a material investment in a security that the investment professional who is responsible for voting that security’s proxy also holds the same security personally. |
III. | Internal Controls |
■ | Review potential Material Conflicts and decide whether a material conflict is present, and needs to be addressed according to these policies and procedures. |
■ | Review the Guidelines in consultation with the Investment Professionals and make revisions as appropriate. |
■ | Review these Policies and Procedures annually for accuracy and effectiveness, and recommend and adopt any necessary changes. |
■ | Review all Guideline overrides. |
■ | Review quarterly voting metrics and analysis published by the Proxy Team. |
■ | Review the performance of the proxy voting vendor and determine whether Jennison should continue to retain their services. |
IV. | Escalating Concerns |
V. | Discipline and Sanctions |
■ | Leading market positions in well-established industries. |
■ | High rates of return on funds employed. |
■ | Conservative capitalization structure with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset protection. |
■ | Broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash generation. |
■ | Well-established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity. |
■ | Amortization schedule-the longer the final maturity relative to other maturities the more likely it will be treated as a note. |
■ | Source of payment-the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note. |
