SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE

The Annual Meeting has been adjourned to Monday, November 9, 2020, at 3:00 p.m., E.T., at the office of the Fund, 10 Dixon Avenue, Woodstock, New York 12498. Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the adjourned Annual Meeting.

Although the substantial majority of the Fund's shareholders who have voted their shares in connection with the Annual Meeting have voted in favor of electing the proposed Class II nominees to serve on the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the Fund has not established the necessary quorum in order to obtain the required vote for their election. Accordingly, the Fund has adjourned the Annual Meeting in order to solicit additional votes.

YOUR VOTE IS NEEDED!

We urge shareholders who have not already voted or submitted a proxy for use at the Annual Meeting to do so promptly in the manner set forth in the Fund’s Proxy Statement. If you have already voted or submitted a proxy, you do not need to take any further action.


THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROXY STATEMENT.
