Dear Stockholders,
We are pleased to provide the Semi-Annual Report for
Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund″) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.
Many of the issues facing financial markets continued into
2016, including heightened economic and financial uncertainties in China, volatile commodity prices (particularly oil) and monetary policy decisions around the globe. The first six weeks of 2016 were marked by extreme volatility as the MSCI World
and S&P 500 Indexes fell 11.7% and 10.5%, respectively, through February 11. Markets then staged a historic intra-quarter rally as the price of crude oil appeared to bottom.
During the second quarter a more positive narrative around
China’s economy emerged, oil prices continued to rise, and first-quarter earnings results were generally better than anticipated. Equity markets were relatively quiet in the second quarter, grinding higher in April and May; but the quarter
then ended in volatile fashion following the June 23rd, U.K. referendum, in which voters elected to leave the European Union. Global equities fell sharply immediately following the vote, before recouping most losses in the last week of
trading.
Despite the rebound that followed the
Brexit-related selloff, nervous investors flocked to safe assets. In June, the yield on German 10-year bunds fell into negative territory for the first time to close the quarter at -0.08%. Fitch Ratings estimated the global total of sovereign debt
with negative yields had reached $11.7 trillion by June 27, up 19% from the end of April. In the U.S., 10-year Treasury yields fell 80 basis points during the period, to 1.47% as of June 30.
During the period, the U.S. Federal Reserve kept its
benchmark lending rate steady at 0.25% to 0.50% and Federal Reserve officials reduced estimates of how much they expect to raise the federal funds rate in 2016. In Europe, the European Central Bank continued its easing measures, even expanding its
bond-buying program to include corporate bonds; and in Japan, the Bank of Japan adopted negative interest rates in an effort to stave off the deflation that has plagued the country since the 1990s.
We believe that bottom-up security selection will take on
an even more important role amid the uncertain market environment post-Brexit. While mindful of the potential headwinds, we also view market dislocations as opportunities to buy assets at attractive long-term points of entry. Another potential side
benefit of Brexit is the likely continuation of lower-for-longer interest rates, which should be supportive for infrastructure securities. Moreover, the fundamentals underlying the cash flows of these companies have potentially defensive
characteristics, which can be beneficial in periods of market uncertainty.
In addition to performance information, this report provides
the Fund’s unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2016.
We welcome your questions and comments, and encourage you to
contact our Investor Relations team at (855) 777-8001 or visit us at www.brookfieldim.com for more information. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Brian F. Hurley

1 The distribution rate referenced above is calculated as the annualized amount of the most recent monthly
distribution declared divided by June 30, 2016 stock price. This calculation does not include any non-income items such as loan proceeds or borrowings. The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its net investment income and net realized
capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. Year-to-date through June 30, 2016, the Fund estimates approximately 77.6% of its distributions is a return of capital.

as of the close of business on September 19, 2013, the Fund issued transferrable rights to its stockholders to subscribe for up to 2,590,000 shares of common stock at a rate of one share for every 3 rights held. The subscription price was initially
set at 90% of the average closing price for the last 5 trading days of the offering period. However as the subscription price was less than 80% of the Net Asset Value ("NAV") of the Fund's common shares at the close of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") on the expiration date, the subscription price was 80% of the Fund's NAV at the close of trading on that day. The shares were subscribed at a price of $19.29 which was less than the October 18, 2013 NAV of $24.11 thus creating a

Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2016
1.Organization
Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Income Fund Inc.
(the “Fund”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on June 8, 2011. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management
investment company, which invests primarily in publicly traded infrastructure companies. The Fund commenced operations on August 26, 2011.
Brookfield Investment Management Inc. (“BIM”
or “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc., is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and serves as investment adviser
to the Fund.
The investment objective of the Fund is
to provide a high level of total return, with an emphasis on income. The investment objective is not fundamental and may be changed by the Fund's Board of Directors (the “Board”) without stockholder approval, upon not less than 60 days
prior written notice to stockholders. No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
2.Significant Accounting
Policies
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an
investment company within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topics
(“ASC”) 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”.
Valuation of Investments:
The Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities. The Adviser oversees the day to day responsibilities for valuation determinations under these procedures. The
Board regularly reviews the application of these procedures to the securities in the Fund’s portfolio. The Adviser’s Valuation Committee is comprised of senior members of the Adviser’s management team. There can be no assurance
that the Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV.
Debt securities, including U.S. government securities,
listed corporate bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities, and unlisted securities and private placement securities, are generally valued at the bid prices furnished by an independent pricing service or, if not valued by an independent
pricing service, using bid prices obtained from active and reliable market makers in any such security or a broker-dealer. The broker-dealers or pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where
sufficient market activity exists, the broker-dealers or pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is
limited, the broker-dealers or pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market
characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon-rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to
estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity,
unless such valuation, in the judgment of the Adviser’s Valuation Committee, does not represent fair value.
Investments in equity securities listed or traded on any
securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last trade price as of the close of business on the valuation date. Investments in
12Brookfield

Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
June 30, 2016
open-end registered investment companies, if any, are valued at the net asset
value (“NAV”) as reported by those investment companies.
Securities for which market prices are not readily
available or which cannot be valued using the sources described above will be valued using an internal proprietary fair value methodology. For any security warranting such fair value measurement, a memorandum, including the specific methodology and
supporting information, will be provided to the Valuation Committee by a portfolio manager or analyst looking to fair value a particular security. A portfolio manager or analyst shall use their best efforts to maximize the use of relevant observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs within their valuation technique. The Valuation Committee shall review the memorandum and supporting information provided by a portfolio manager or analyst and consider all relevant factors as it
deems appropriate before approving the fair value recommendation.
The Fund may use the fair value of a security to calculate
its NAV when, for example, (1) a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the normal market close,
(3) a portfolio security is not traded in significant volume for a substantial period, or (4) the Adviser determines that the quotation or price for a portfolio security provided by a broker-dealer or an independent pricing service is
inaccurate.
The fair value of securities may be
difficult to determine and thus judgment plays a greater role in the valuation process. The fair valuation methodology may include or consider the following guidelines, as appropriate: (1) evaluation of all relevant factors, including but not
limited to, pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; (2) comparison to the values and current pricing of securities that have comparable characteristics; (3) knowledge of historical market information with
respect to the security; (4) other factors relevant to the security which would include, but not be limited to, duration, yield, fundamental analytical data, the Treasury yield curve, and credit quality.
The values assigned to fair valued investments are based
on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in investments. Changes in the fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent
and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations. Imprecision in estimating fair value can also impact the amount of
unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded for a particular portfolio security and differences in the assumptions used could result in a different determination of fair value, and those differences could be material.
The Fund has established methods of fair value
measurements in accordance with GAAP. Fair value denotes the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier
hierarchy has been established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent
in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained
from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the
best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1
- |
quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities |
Level 2
- |
quoted
prices in markets that are not active or other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices based on recently executed transactions, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
|

Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
June 30, 2016
Level 3
- |
significant unobservable
inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities) |
The Adviser’s valuation policy, as previously
stated, establishes parameters for the sources and types of valuation analysis, as well as, the methodologies and inputs the Adviser uses in determining fair value, including the use of the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. If the Adviser’s
Valuation Committee determines that additional techniques, sources or inputs are appropriate or necessary in a given situation, such additional work will be undertaken.
Significant increases or decreases in any of the unobservable
inputs in isolation may result in a lower or higher fair value measurement.
To assess the continuing appropriateness of security
valuations, the Adviser (or its third party service provider, who is subject to oversight by the Adviser), regularly compares one of its prior day prices, prices on comparable securities and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those
prices that exceed certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, the Adviser’s Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based
on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are
not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments
categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of June 30, 2016:

The fair value of
the Fund’s credit facility, which qualifies as a financial instrument under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial
Instruments”, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of June 30, 2016, this financial instrument is categorized as a Level 2 within the disclosure hierarchy.
Level 2 common stocks are fair valued using a factor as a
result of market movements following the close of local trading. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 of $5,492,134, which represent common stocks that were previously priced using the adjusted
prices and currently priced using the market close prices. The basis for recognizing and valuing transfers is as of the end of the period in which transfers occur.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not
invest in any Level 3 securities.
Investment
Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized, respectively, on a daily basis, using the effective yield to maturity method adjusted based on management’s assessment of the collectability of
such interest. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Foreign Currency Transactions: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated
in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund isolates the portion of realized gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on securities from the
fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The Fund does not isolate the portion of unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in
market prices of securities held.
Reported
net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of securities, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and
foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.
Taxes: The Fund intends
to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise
tax provision is required. The Fund may incur an excise tax to the extent it has not distributed all of its taxable income on a calendar year basis.

BROOKFIELD GLOBAL LISTED INFRASTRUCTURE INCOME FUND INC.
Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
June 30, 2016
GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions
should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. An evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are
“more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the taxing authority is required. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be booked as a tax expense in the current year and recognized as: a
liability for unrecognized tax benefits; a reduction of an income tax refund receivable; a reduction of a deferred tax asset; an increase in a deferred tax liability; or a combination thereof. As of June 30, 2016, the Fund has determined that there
are no uncertain tax positions or tax liabilities required to be accrued.
The Fund has reviewed all taxable years that are open for
examination (i.e., not barred by the applicable statute of limitations) by taxing authorities of all major jurisdictions, including the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2016, open taxable years
consisted of the taxable years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2015. No examination of the Fund’s tax returns is currently in progress.
Expenses: Expenses
directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses which are attributable to the Fund and other investment companies advised by the Adviser are allocated among the respective investment companies, including the Fund,
based upon relative average net assets, evenly or a combination of both.
Distributions: The Fund
declares and pays dividends monthly from net investment income. Distributions of realized capital gains in excess of capital loss carryforwards are distributed at least annually. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. All
common shares have equal dividend and other distribution rights.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions
from realized gains from investment transactions have been determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains recorded by the Fund for financial reporting purposes. These
differences which could be temporary or permanent in nature, may result in reclassification of distributions; however, net investment income, net realized gains and losses and net assets are not affected.
Forward Currency Contracts: A forward currency contract (“forward contract”) is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a currency at an agreed upon price for settlement at a future date. During the period the forward contract is
in existence, changes in the value of the forward contract will fluctuate with changes in the currency exchange rates. The forward contract is marked to market daily and these changes are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Gain or loss on the
purchase or sale of a forward contract is realized on the settlement date.
The Fund invests in forward contracts to hedge against
fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies caused by changes in the prevailing currency exchange rates. The use of forward contracts involves the risk that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts and may be
negatively impacted from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

3.Investment Advisory
Agreement and Transactions with Related Parties
The
Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser under which the Adviser is responsible for the management of the Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities,
equipment and certain other services necessary to the operation of the Fund. The Advisory Agreement provides that the Fund shall pay the Adviser a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily
net assets (plus the amount of borrowing for investment purposes) (“Managed Assets”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser may delegate any or all of its responsibilities to one or more investment sub-advisers, which may be
affiliates of the Adviser, subject to the approval of the Board and stockholders of the Fund.
The Fund has entered into an Administration Agreement with
the Adviser and the Adviser has entered into a sub-administration agreement with U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Sub-Administrator”). The Adviser and Sub-Administrator perform administrative services necessary for the operation of
the Fund, including maintaining certain books and records of the Fund and preparing reports and other documents required by federal, state, and other applicable laws and regulations, and providing the Fund with administrative office facilities. For
these services, the Fund pays to the Adviser a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets. The Adviser is responsible for any fees due to the Sub-Administrator.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Fund are officers

series that the Fund has authority to issue.
The

$56,872,523.
7.Federal Income Tax
Information
Income and capital gain distributions are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
The federal income tax information referenced below is as of
the Fund’s most recently completed tax year-end of December 31, 2015.
The tax character of the distributions paid for the year
ended December 31, 2015 was as follows:
Ordinary income (including short-term capital
gains)

A notice disclosing the
source(s) of a distribution is provided after a payment is made from any source other than net investment income. Any such notice is provided only for informational purposes in order to comply with the requirements of Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act
and not for tax reporting purposes. The tax composition of the Fund’s distributions for each calendar year is reported on IRS Form 1099-DIV.
At December 31, 2015, the Fund’s most recently
completed tax year-end, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Capital loss

|
$(13,889,249)

(1) To the extent that future capital gains are offset by capital loss carryforwards, such gains will not be
distributed.
As of December 31, 2015, the Fund
had no capital loss carryforwards.
Federal Income Tax
Basis: The federal income tax basis of the Fund's investments, not including foreign currency translations and forward currency contracts, at June 30, 2016 was as follows:

Capital Account
Reclassifications: Because federal income tax regulations differ in certain respects from GAAP, income and capital gain distributions, if any, determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net
investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for wash sales and return of capital. Permanent book and tax differences, if any, relating to stockholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in-capital or to undistributed capital gains. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.

8.Indemnification
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its
officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for
indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, since this would involve the resolution of certain claims, as well as future claims that may be made, against the Fund. Thus, an estimate of the financial
impact, if any, of these arrangements cannot be made at this time. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be unlikely.
9.Subsequent Events
GAAP requires recognition in the financial statements of
the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements
from being misleading, the Fund is required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.
Dividends: The Fund’s
Board declared the following monthly dividends:

Board
Considerations Relating to the Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2016
At a meeting held on May 12, 2016, the Board, including a
majority of the Independent Directors, considered and approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between Brookfield Investment Management Inc. (the "Adviser") and the Fund. In approving the Advisory
Agreement, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, determined that the fee structure was fair and reasonable and that approval of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board of
Directors considered a wide range of information, including information regularly received from the Adviser at the quarterly Board meetings. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant
to the Board's decision.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF
SERVICES. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser. In evaluating the quality of services provided by the Adviser, the Board took into account its familiarity with the Adviser’s
management through board meetings, conversations and reports. The Board noted that the Adviser is responsible for managing the Fund's investment program, the general operations and the day-to-day management of the Fund and for compliance with
applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates are satisfactory. The Board's conclusion was based, in part, upon
services provided to the Fund such as quarterly reports provided by the Adviser: 1) comparing the performance of the Fund with a peer group, 2) showing that the investment policies and restrictions for the Fund were followed, and 3) covering matters
such as the compliance of investment personnel and other access persons with the Adviser's and the Fund's codes of ethics, the adherence to fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, the monitoring of portfolio compliance and
presentations regarding the economic environment. The Board also considered the experience of the Adviser as an investment adviser and the experience of the team of portfolio managers that manages the Fund, and its current experience in acting as
investment adviser to other investment funds and institutional clients.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE. The
Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Fund in view of its importance to shareholders. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention
in assessing the performance was given to a report (the “Broadridge Report”) for the Fund prepared by Broadridge, an independent third party provider of investment company data, furnished in connection with the contract renewal process.
The Broadridge Report compared the Fund’s performance with a peer group of other funds (the “Performance Universe”), as selected by Broadridge, for the one-, two-, three- and four-year periods ending April 30, 2016. The Board noted
that the Fund performed below the median of its Performance Universe for all periods. Based on the Adviser’s explanation of the Fund’s performance in the current market, the Board concluded that the Fund's performance was
satisfactory.
PROFITABILITY. The Board also considered the level of profits expected to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Fund. In this regard, the Board reviewed the Fund profitability analysis
addressing the overall profitability of the Adviser for its management of the Brookfield fund family, as well as its expected profits and that of its affiliates for providing administrative support for the Fund. The Board further noted that the
methodology followed in allocating costs to the Fund appeared reasonable, while also recognizing that allocation methodologies are inherently subjective. The Board concluded that the expected profitability to the Adviser from the Fund was
reasonable.
MANAGEMENT FEES AND TOTAL EXPENSES. The Board also placed significant emphasis on the review of the Fund’s expenses. The Board compared the advisory fees and total expense ratio of the Fund with various comparative data that it had been provided,
including comparisons of the Fund’s management fee and total expense level to those of a peer group selected by Broadridge (the “Expense Group”) and a peer group selected by management. The Board noted that the Fund’s total
expenses and the Fund’s total advisory and administrative fee were higher than the median of its Expense Group and of its peer group selected by management. The Board also noted that the fees and expenses payable by the Fund were comparable to
those payable by other client accounts managed by the Adviser and concluded that the Fund's management fee and total expenses were reasonable.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The
Board considered the potential economies of scale that may be realized if the assets of the Fund grow. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increase proportionally more than certain other fixed expenses over time, the shareholders might
benefit from lower operating expenses as a result of an increasing amount of assets being spread over the fixed expenses of the Fund, but noted that, as a closed-end fund, the Fund was unlikely to grow significantly.

Considerations Relating to the Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
June 30, 2016
In considering the approval of the Advisory Agreement, the
Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling. Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that it deemed to be relevant, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the
Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources necessary to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; the Adviser was taking steps to address the Fund’s performance; and the proposed Advisory fees
are fair and reasonable, given the nature, extent and quality of the services to be rendered by the Adviser.
After carefully reviewing all of these factors, the Board,
including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.

Dividend
Reinvestment Plan (Unaudited)
June 30, 2016
The Fund has adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the
“Plan’’) that provides that unless you elect to receive your distributions in cash, they will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”), in additional shares of
common stock. If you elect to receive distributions in cash, you will receive them paid by check mailed directly to you by the Plan Administrator.
No action is required on the part of a stockholder to have
their cash distribution reinvested in shares of the Fund’s common stock. Unless you or your brokerage firm decides to opt out of the Plan, the number of shares of common stock you will receive will be determined as follows:
(1) The number of shares to be issued to a
stockholder shall be based on share price equal to 95% of the closing price of the Fund’s common stock on the distribution payment date.
(2) The Board of Directors may, in its
sole discretion, instruct the Fund to purchase shares of its common stock in the open market in connection with the implementation of the Plan as follows: if the Fund’s common stock is trading below net asset value at the time of valuation,
upon notice from the Fund, the Plan Administrator will receive the distribution in cash and will purchase common stock in the open market, on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts, except that the Plan Administrator will
endeavor to terminate purchases in the open market and cause the Fund to issue the remaining shares if, following the commencement of the purchases, the market value of the shares, including brokerage commissions, exceeds the net asset value at the
time of valuation. Provided the Plan Administrator can terminate purchases on the open market, the remaining shares will be issued by the Fund at a price equal to the greater of (i) the net asset value at the time of valuation or (ii) 95% of the
then-current market price. It is possible that the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid
entirely in common stock issued by the Fund.
You may
withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Plan Administrator, or by telephone in accordance with such reasonable requirements as the Fund and the Plan Administrator may agree upon. Such withdrawal will be effective the next
business day. If you withdraw or the Plan is terminated, the Plan Administrator will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions.
The Plan Administrator maintains all common
stockholders’ accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. Common stock in your account will be held by the Plan Administrator in non-certificated
form. The Plan Administrator, or the Fund’s appointed agent, will forward to each participant any proxy solicitation material and will vote any shares so held only in accordance with proxies returned to the Fund. Any proxy you receive will
include all common stock you have received under the Plan. There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of your distributions in common stock. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage
commissions incurred by the Plan Administrator when it makes open market purchases.
Automatically reinvesting distributions does not avoid a
taxable event or the requirement to pay income taxes due upon receiving distributions, even though you have not received any cash with which to pay the resulting tax.
If you hold common stock with a brokerage firm that does
not participate in the Plan, you will not be able to participate in the Plan and any distribution reinvestment may be effected on different terms than those described above. Consult your financial advisor for more information.
The Plan Administrator’s fees under the Plan will be
borne by the Fund. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan, including amending the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, if in the
judgment of the Board of Directors the change is warranted. Any amendment to the Plan, except amendments necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules and policies of the Commission or any other regulatory authority, require
the Fund to provide at least 30 days written notice to each participant. Additional information about the Plan may be obtained from U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC at 615 East Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202.
