(a) Net assets are inclusive of Preferred Shares of $169 million, $325
million, $292 million, $78,975,000 and $161 million for PCN, PTY, PHK,
PFL and PFN, respectively.
The Funds are closed-end management investment companies. The primary
objective of PCN is to seek high current income with secondary
objectives of capital preservation and appreciation. The investment
objective of PTY is to seek maximum total return through a combination
of current income and capital appreciation. The primary objective of PGP
is to provide total return through a combination of current income,
current gains and long-term capital appreciation. PHK’s primary
objective is to seek high current income with capital appreciation as a
secondary objective. PKO’s investment objective is to seek current
income as a primary focus and also capital appreciation. RCS’s primary
objective is to generate a level of income higher than that generated by
high-quality, intermediate-term U.S. debt securities, with a secondary
objective of seeking to maintain volatility in the net asset value of
its shares comparable to that of high-quality, intermediate-term U.S.
debt securities. PCM seeks high current income as a primary objective
and capital gains as a secondary objective. PFL and PFN’s investment
objective is to seek high current income, consistent with the
preservation of capital. There can be no assurance that the Funds will
meet their stated objectives.

wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P.,
