EXHIBIT A

 

RENEWAL OF FIDELITY BOND

WHEREAS, Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17(g)-1 thereunder requires, among other things, the Corporation to obtain a fidelity bond with a reputable fidelity insurance company to safeguard the Corporation’s investment securities;

 

WHEREAS, the existing fidelity bond of the Corporation will expire in March 2015, and the officers of the Corporation have bound fidelity bond coverage with an insurer (Chubb), effective as of the effective date of this Written Action, so as to avoid any lapse in bonding coverage and with the new coverage to expire in March 2016, all as set forth in the documentation attached hereto as Exhibit A;

 

WHEREAS, legal counsel to the Corporation has advised management and the Board that the coverage amount contained in the proposed renewed fidelity bond is sufficient to comply with the requirements of Rule 17(g)-1 under the 1940 Act; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Corporation to approve the fidelity bond for which coverage has been bound in compliance with the above-referenced legal requirements;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED: that the Board authorizes and directs the officers of the Corporation to renew the fidelity bond coverage as described above, pay the required premium, and execute and deliver any and all documents required to secure the fidelity bond; and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the officers of the Corporation are authorized to execute and deliver any and all such other documents and instruments, and perform such other actions, as they may in their discretion deem necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the intent of each of the foregoing resolutions; that all actions heretofore taken by the officers of the Corporation with respect to or in connection with any of the matters described above are ratified, approved and confirmed in all respects.
