PIMCO Floating Rate Income/PIMCO Floating Rate Strategy Funds Letter to Shareholders

 

March 10, 2008

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

We are pleased to provide you with the semi-annual report for the PIMCO Floating Rate Income Fund and PIMCO Floating Rate Strategy Fund (collectively the “Funds”) for the six months ended January 31, 2008.

 

The Federal Reserve reduced short-term interest rates five times during the period, moving the Federal Funds target from 5.25% at the beginning of the reporting period to 3.00% at the period’s end, as economic weakness and lack of liquidity threatened to extend economic slowing to recession. Bonds advanced during the period in most categories, as stocks weakened. Subsequent to the end of the period, industry-wide developments in the auction-rate preferred markets have caused auctions for preferred shares of both Funds to fail, as described in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

 

Please refer to the following pages for specific information on the Funds. If you have any questions regarding the information provided, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor or call the Funds’ shareholder servicing agent at (800) 331-1710. In addition, a wide range of information and resources are available on our Web site at www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds.

 

Together with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, the Funds’ investment manager, and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”), the Funds’ sub-adviser, we thank you for investing with us.

 

We remain dedicated to serving your investment needs.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Hans W. Kertess

Brian S. Shlissel

PIMCO Floating Rate Income Fund Fund Insights/Performance & Statistics

January 31, 2008 (unaudited)

 

·                  For the six months ended January 31, 2008, PIMCO Floating Rate Income Fund returned (2.99)% on net asset value (NAV) and (1.69)% on market price.

·                  Avoiding the home-construction and housing sectors, which continued to decline alongside the fallout in the sub-prime mortgage sector, was positive for Fund performance.

·                  An emphasis on the telecom sector, which significantly outperformed the overall leveraged-loan market, was a strong contributor to Fund performance during the period.

·                  A relatively minimal allocation to the retail sector, which was among the worst performing sectors during the period, benefited returns.

·                  An emphasis on improving quality over the period benefited performance, as higher rated loans significantly outperformed lower quality issues.

·                  As the auto sector came under pressure, underperforming during the period, a relatively significant allocation to the sector detracted from Fund performance.

·                  A larger-than-market weighting in technology hindered the Fund’s returns, as these loans underperformed during the reporting period.

·                  Security selection in the media sector detracted from Fund performance, as broadcasting and cable underperformed the broader sector.

Portfolio Composition
(as a % of total investments)

 

 

 

(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 each 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 of the Fund’s income dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return.

 

Returns are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or market share price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. The Fund’s performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods, returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Fund, market conditions, supply and demand for the Fund’s shares, or changes in Fund distributions.

 

An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, market price, market 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 equal to the total assets attributable to common shareholders 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 monthly per share dividend to common shareholders by the market price per common share at January 31, 2008.

Notes to Schedules of Investments:

(a)

 

Private Placement–Restricted as to resale and may not have a readily available market. Securities with an aggregate value of $357,086,244, representing 70.75% of total investments in Floating Rate Income. Securities with an aggregate value of $849,754,964, representing 75.06% of total investments in Floating Rate Strategy.

(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 “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 Funds are ordinarily contractually obligated to receive 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. The interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect on January 31, 2008.

(d)

 

144A Security–Security 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 indicated, these securities are not considered to be illiquid.

(e)

 

When-issued or delayed-delivery security. To be settled/delivered after January 31, 2008.

(f)

 

Security in default.

(g)

 

Fair-valued security–Securities with an aggregate value of $6,894,081, representing 1.37% of total investments, have been fair-valued for Floating Rate Income. Securities with an aggregate value of $13,788,161, representing 1.22% of total investments, have been fair-valued for Floating Rate Strategy.

(h)

 

Perpetual maturity security. Maturity date shown is the first call date. Interest rate is fixed until the first call date and variable thereafter.

(i)

 

All or partial amount segregated as collateral for futures contracts, swaps, and/or when-issued or delayed-delivery securities.

(j)

 

Non-income producing.

(k)

 

All or partial amount segregated as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements.

PIMCO Floating Rate Income/PIMCO Floating Rate Strategy Funds
Notes to Financial Statements

January 31, 2008 (unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

PIMCO Floating Rate Income Fund (“Floating Rate Income”) and PIMCO Floating Rate Strategy Fund (“Floating Rate Strategy”), collectively referred to as the “Funds”, were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on June 19, 2003 and June 30, 2004, respectively. Prior to commencing operations on August 29, 2003 and October 29, 2004, respectively, Floating Rate Income and Floating Rate Strategy had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and registration as diversified, closed-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations there under, as amended. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”), serves as the Funds’ Investment Manager and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“Allianz Global”). Allianz Global is an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. The Funds have an unlimited amount of $0.0001 par value common stock authorized.

 

Each Fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income, consistent with the preservation of capital. Under normal market conditions, each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of floating rate debt instruments, a substantial portion of which will be senior floating rate loans. The ability of the issuers of the Funds’ investments to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry.

 

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 Funds enter 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 Funds that have not yet been asserted. However, the Funds expect the risk of any loss to be remote.

 

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Funds’ management has determined that its evaluation of the Interpretation has resulted in no impact to the Funds’ financial statements at January 31, 2008.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 157, Fair Value Measurements, which clarifies the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. Adoption of SFAS 157 requires the use of the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, the Funds are in the process of reviewing the Standard against their current valuation policies to determine future applicability.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:

 

(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 a security, are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting in their discretion 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 on the last business day of each week using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the last quoted mean 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. Independent pricing services 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

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

prices in the market for such Senior Loans, as provided by an independent pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair-value pursuant to procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which 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. At January 31, 2008, Floating Rate Income and Floating Rate Strategy held Senior Loans with an aggregate value of $2,203,458, and $4,406,915, representing 0.44% and 0.39% of total investments, respectively, that were fair-valued. 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 securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to 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 Funds 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 normally determined weekly on the last business day of the week as of close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day the NYSE is open for business.

 

(b) Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Facility and other fee income (such as origination fees) received by the Funds are amortized as income over the expected term of the loan. Commitment fees received by the Funds relating to unfunded purchase commitments are deferred and amortized to facility fee income over the period of the commitment.

 

(c) Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to distribute all of their 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.

 

(d) Dividends and Distributions – Common Stock

The Funds declare dividends from net investment income monthly to common shareholders. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Funds record dividends and distributions to their 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 federal income tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

 

(e) Foreign Currency Translation

The Funds’ accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period; and (2) purchases and sales, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting net foreign currency gain or loss is included in the Statements of Operations.

 

The Funds do not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities.

 

Accordingly, such foreign currency gain (loss) is included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. federal income tax

regulations; such amount is categorized as foreign currency gain or loss for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.

 

(f) Senior Loans

The Funds purchase 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 institutions (the “Lender”). When purchasing an assignment, the Funds succeed to 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.

 

(g) Option Transactions

The Funds may purchase and write (sell) put and call options for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or as a part of their investment strategies. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Funds bear 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.

 

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, if any, are reflected as options written in the Statements 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 written by the Funds 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 written by the Funds is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing an option, the Funds bear 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 Funds purchasing a security at a price different from its current market value.

 

(h) Interest Rate/Credit Default Swaps

The Funds may enter into interest rate and credit default 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds may also purchase credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities held, in which case the Funds would function as the counterparty referenced in the preceding paragraph. As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Funds 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 debt obligation. In return, the Funds 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 Funds 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 (paid) by the Funds are included as part of realized gain

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(loss) and net periodic payments accrued, but not yet received (paid) are included in change in the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statements of Operations.

 

Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from brokers or market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Funds’ Statements of Operations. For a credit default swap sold by the Funds, payment of the agreed upon amount made by the Funds 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 Funds, the agreed upon amount received by the Funds 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 Funds.

 

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.

 

(i) 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 Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contracts, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contracts are closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contracts at the time they were opened and the value at the time they were 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.

 

(j) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risk arising from the investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Funds may also enter these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

(k) Repurchase Agreements

A Fund may enter 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 Funds 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 Funds may be delayed or limited.

 

(l) Reverse Repurchase Agreements

In a reverse repurchase agreement, a 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.

 

(m) When-Issued/Delayed-Delivery Transactions

The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. The transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Funds will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a designated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and take such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a security on a delayed-delivery basis is sold, the Funds do not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.

 

(n) Custody Credits on Cash Balances

The Funds benefit 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 Funds.

 

2. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser

Each 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 each Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.75% of each Funds’ average weekly total managed assets. Total managed assets refer to the total assets of each Fund (including assets attributable to any Preferred Shares or other forms of leverage that may be outstanding, minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing leverage)).

 

The Investment Manager has retained its affiliate, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), to manage the Funds’ investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all of the Funds’ investment decisions. The Investment Manager, and not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services.

5. Auction Preferred Shares

Floating Rate Income has issued 2,800 shares of Preferred Shares Series T, 2,800 shares of Preferred Shares Series W, 2,800 shares of Preferred Shares Series TH, each with a net asset and liquidation value of $25,000 per share plus accrued dividends.

 

Floating Rate Strategy has issued 3,840 shares of Preferred Shares Series M, 3,840 shares of Preferred Shares Series T, 3,840 shares of Preferred Shares Series W, 3,840 shares of Preferred Shares Series TH, and 3,840 shares of Preferred Shares Series F, each with a net asset and liquidation value of $25,000 per share plus accrued dividends.

 

Dividends are accumulated daily at an annual rate (typically re-set every seven days) through auction procedures. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annually. Additional information regarding recent developments with regard to Preferred Shares auctions is provided in Note 8.

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2008, the annualized dividend rates ranged from:

The Funds are subject to certain limitations and restrictions while Preferred Shares are outstanding. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude the Funds from declaring any dividends or distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of Preferred Shares at their liquidation value.

 

Preferred Shares, which are entitled to one vote per share, generally vote together with the common stock but vote separately as a class to elect two Trustees and on any matters affecting the rights of the Preferred Shares.

7. Legal Proceedings

In June and September 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (including PEA Capital LLC (“PEA”), Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) and Allianz Global Investors of America, L.P.) agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought by the SEC and the New Jersey Attorney General alleging violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to certain open-end funds for which the Investment Manager serves as investment adviser. The settlements related to an alleged “market timing” arrangement in certain open-end funds formerly sub-advised by PEA. The Investment Manager and its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims. In addition to monetary payments, the settling parties agreed to undertake certain corporate governance, compliance and disclosure reforms related to market timing and consented to cease and desist orders and censures. Subsequent to these events, PEA deregistered and dissolved. None of the settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Funds.

 

Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning “market timing”, which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. Any potential resolution of these matters may include, but not be limited to judgments or settlements for damages against the Investment Manager or its affiliates or related injunctions.

 

The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Funds.

 

The foregoing speaks only as of the date hereof.

 

8. Subsequent Event – Auction-Rate Preferred Shares

Subsequent to the close of the six-month period ended January 31, 2008, holders of auction-rate preferred shares (“ARPS”) issued by the Funds have been directly impacted by an unprecedented lack of liquidity, which has similarly affected ARPS holders in many of the nation’s closed-end funds. Since February 2008, regularly scheduled auctions for ARPS issued by the Funds have consistently “failed” because of insufficient demand (bids to buy shares) to meet the supply (shares offered for sale) at each auction. In a failed auction, ARPS holders cannot sell all, and may not be able to sell any, of their shares tendered for sale. While repeated auction failures have affected the liquidity for ARPS, they do not constitute a default or automatically alter the credit quality of the ARPS, and ARPS holders have continued to receive dividends at a previously defined “maximum rate” (which is a function of short-term interest rates and typically higher than the rate that would have otherwise been set through a successful auction).

 

These developments with respect to ARPS have not affected the management or investment policies of the Funds, and the Funds’ outstanding common shares continue to trade on the NYSE without any change. If the Funds’ ARPS auctions continue to fail and the “maximum rate” payable on the ARPS rises as a result of changes in short-term interest rates, returns for the Funds’ common shareholders could be adversely affected.

 

At the time this report is being prepared, it is not possible to predict how and when full or partial liquidity will return, if at all, to the closed-end fund ARPS market. Additional information regarding ARPS, failed auctions and potential solutions to address the unprecedented lack of liquidity of the ARPS due to recent failed auctions can be accessed at http://www.allianzinvestors.com.
