MPGT 001 (04/99) Page 3 of 9
4. DISCOVERY PERIOD
If the Insurer or the Insureds do not renew any Liability Coverage Part or if the Parent Company terminates
any Liability Coverage Part, the Insureds shall have the right, upon payment of the additional premium
described below, to an extension of the coverage granted by such Liability Coverage Part for the Discovery
Period set forth in Item 5(B) of the Declarations following the effective date of such nonrenewal or termination,
but only with respect to a covered Wrongful Act taking place prior to the effective date of such nonrenewal or
termination. This right of extension shall lapse unless written notice of such election, together with payment of
the additional premium due, is given by the Insureds to the Insurer within thirty (30) days following the effective
date of termination or nonrenewal.
The premium due for such Discovery Period with respect to any Liability Coverage Part shall equal that
percent set forth in Item 5(A) of the Declarations of the Annual Premium for such Liability Coverage Part. The
entire premium for such Discovery Period shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable upon payment.
The Insureds shall not be entitled to elect the Discovery Period under this Subsection 4 with respect to any
Liability Coverage Part if a Discovery Period for such Liability Coverage Part is elected pursuant to Subsection
10(b) of these General Conditions and Limitations.
5. LIMIT OF LIABILITY AND RETENTION
For the purposes of this Policy, all Claims arising out of the same Wrongful Act and all Interrelated Wrongful
Acts of the Insureds shall be deemed one Claim, and such Claim shall be deemed to be first made on the date
the earliest of such Claims is first made against them, regardless of whether such date is before or during the
Policy Period. All Loss resulting from a single Claim shall be deemed a single Loss.
If a single aggregate Limit of Liability for all Coverage Parts is granted as provided in Item 3(A) of the
Declarations, the amount stated in Item 3(A) of the Declarations shall be the maximum aggregate liability of
the Insurer under all Coverage Parts, combined, for each Limit Period, regardless of the number of Claims or
losses or the time of payment by the Insurer.
If separate Limits of Liability are granted as provided in Item 3(B) of the Declarations:
A. the maximum aggregate liability of the Insurer under each Liability Coverage Part for all covered Loss
resulting from all Claims first made during each Limit Period shall be the respective Limit(s) of Liability
for such Coverage Part as set forth in Item 3(B) of the Declarations, regardless of the time of payment
by the Insurer; and
B. the maximum aggregate liability of the Insurer for all Loss during the Limit Period under all Insuring
Clauses of the Commercial Crime or Bond Coverage Part shall be the aggregate Limit of Liability for
such Coverage Part as set forth in the Declarations for such Coverage Part, regardless of the time of
payment by the Insurer, provided:
i. the maximum liability of the Insurer for each Single Loss under any Insuring Clause of such
Coverage Part shall be the respective Limit of Liability for such Insuring Clause as set forth in
the Declarations for such Coverage Part; and
ii. if more than one Insuring Clause applies to a Single Loss, the maximum liability of the Insurer
under all such Insuring Clauses, combined, with respect to such Single Loss shall be the
largest of such applicable Limits of Liability.
The Limits of Liability described in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above are sublimits which further limit and
do not increase the Insurer’s maximum liability under such Coverage Part.
MPGT 001 (04/99) Page 4 of 9
The Limit of Liability for the Discovery Period, if exercised, shall be part of and not in addition to the Limit of
Liability for the Limit Period. The purchase of the Discovery Period shall not increase or reinstate the
applicable Limit of Liability, which shall be the maximum liability of the Insurer for such Limit Period and
Discovery Period, combined.
Defense Costs shall be part of and not in addition to the applicable Limits of Liability set forth in the
Declarations, and Defense Costs shall reduce such Limit of Liability. If the Limit of Liability with respect to the
entire Policy or any Coverage Part is exhausted by payment of Loss, the Insurer’s obligations under the entire
Policy or such Coverage Part, respectively, shall be completely fulfilled and extinguished. The Insurer is
entitled to pay Loss as it becomes due and payable by the Insureds, without consideration of other future
payment obligations.
Except as otherwise provided in this Subsection 5, the Insurer’s liability with respect to Loss arising from each
Claim covered under one or more Liability Coverage Parts, and each Single Loss covered under the
Commercial Crime or Bond Coverage Part, if purchased, shall apply only to that part of Loss which is excess
of the applicable Retention Amount set forth in the Declarations for such Coverage Part(s), and such Retention
Amount shall be borne by the Insureds uninsured and at their own risk. If different parts of a single Claim or
Single Loss are subject to different Retentions, the applicable Retentions will be applied separately to each
part of such Loss, but the sum of such Retentions shall not exceed the largest applicable Retention.
Any Retention for Indemnified Loss under a Liability Coverage Part shall apply only to (i) Loss which is
incurred by Insured Persons and is indemnified by the Company, and (ii) Loss which is incurred by all other
Insureds. No Retention shall apply to Loss which is incurred by Insured Persons and is not indemnified by the
Company.
If the Company is permitted or required by common or statutory law to ultimately indemnify the Insured
Persons for any Loss, or to advance Defense Costs on their behalf, under any Liability Coverage Part and
does not in fact do so other than for reasons of Financial Impairment, then the Company shall reimburse and
hold harmless the Insurer for the Insurer’s payment or advancement of such Loss up to the amount of the
Retention for Indemnified Loss under the applicable Liability Coverage Part.
6. NOTICE
The Insureds shall, as a condition precedent to their rights under any Liability Coverage Part, give to the
Insurer written notice of any Claim made against the Insureds as soon as practicable after any Executive
Officer or the Company’s risk manager first learns of such Claim, but in no event later than ninety (90) days
after expiration of the Policy Period or, if exercised, during the Discovery Period.
The Insureds shall, as a condition precedent to their rights under the Commercial Crime or Bond Coverage
Part, give to the Insurer written notice of any Loss within 90 days after such Loss is first discovered by any
Executive Officer or the Company’s risk manager.
If during the Policy Period or the Discovery Period, if exercised, the Insureds first become aware of a specific
Wrongful Act which may reasonably give rise to a future Claim covered under a Liability Coverage Part and
during such Policy Period or Discovery Period give written notice to the Insurer of:
a. the names of the potential claimants and a description of the specific Wrongful Act which forms the
basis of their potential claim,
b. the identity of the specific Insureds allegedly responsible for such specific Wrongful Act,
c. the consequences which have resulted or may result from such specific Wrongful Act,
d. the nature of the potential monetary damages or non-monetary relief which may be sought in
consequence of such specific Wrongful Act, and
MPGT 001 (04/99) Page 5 of 9
e. the circumstances by which the Insureds first became aware of such specific Wrongful Act,
then any Claim which arises out of such Wrongful Act shall be deemed to have been first made during
the Limit Period or Discovery Period, if exercised, in which such written notice was received by the
Insurer. No coverage is provided for fees and expenses incurred prior to the time such notice results
in a Claim.
All notices under any provision of this Policy shall be in writing and given by prepaid express courier, certified
mail or fax properly addressed to the appropriate party. Notice to the Insureds may be given to the Parent
Company at the address as shown in Item 1 of the Declarations. Notice to the Insurer of any Claim, Wrongful
Act or Loss shall be given to the Insurer at the address set forth in Item 6(A) of the Declarations. All other
notices to the Insurer under this Policy shall be given to the Insurer at the address set forth in Item 6(B) of the
Declarations. Notice given as described above shall be deemed to be received and effective upon actual
receipt thereof by the addressee or one day following the date such notice is sent, whichever is earlier.
Any notice to the Insurer of any Claim, Wrongful Act or Loss shall designate the Coverage Part(s) under which
the notice is being given and shall be treated as notice under only the Coverage Part(s) so designated.
7. DEFENSE AND SETTLEMENT
Subject to this Subsection 7, it shall be the duty of the Insureds and not the duty of the Insurer to defend any
Claim.
The Insureds agree not to settle or offer to settle any Claim, incur any Defense Costs or otherwise assume any
contractual obligation or admit any liability with respect to any Claim without the Insurer’s written consent. The
Insurer shall not be liable for any settlement, Defense Costs, assumed obligation or admission to which it has
not consented. The Insureds shall promptly send to the Insurer all settlement demands or offers received by
the Insureds from the claimant(s). However, if the Insureds are able to settle all Claims which are subject to a
single Retention for an aggregate amount, including Defense Costs, not exceeding such Retention., the
Insurer’s consent shall not be required for the settlement of such Claims.
With respect to any Claim submitted for coverage under this Policy, the Insurer shall have the right and shall
be given the opportunity to effectively associate with, and shall be consulted in advance by, the Insureds
regarding (1) the selection of appropriate defense counsel, (2) substantive defense strategies, including
without limitation decisions regarding the filing and content of substantive motions, and (3) settlement
negotiations.
The Insureds agree to provide the Insurer with all information, assistance and cooperation which the Insurer
reasonably requests and agree that in the event of a Claim or Loss the Insureds will do nothing that shall
prejudice the Insurer’s position or its potential or actual rights of recovery. The Insurer may make any
investigation it deems necessary.
Subject to Subsection 8 of these General Conditions and Limitations, the Insurer shall advance on behalf of
the Insureds covered Defense Costs which the Insureds have incurred in connection with Claims made
against them, prior to disposition of such Claims, provided that to the extent it is finally established that any
such Defense Costs are not covered under this Policy, the Insureds, severally according to their interests,
agree to repay the Insurer such Defense Costs.
The Insurer and the Insureds shall not unreasonably withhold any consent referenced in this Subsection 7.
8. ALLOCATION
If in any Claim under a Liability Coverage Part the Insureds who are afforded coverage for such Claim incur
Loss jointly with others (including Insureds) who are not afforded coverage for such Claim, or incur an amount
consisting of both Loss covered by this Policy and loss not covered by this Policy because such Claim
includes both covered and uncovered matters, then the Insureds and the Insurer shall allocate such amount
between covered Loss and uncovered loss based upon the relative legal exposures of the parties to covered
and uncovered matters.
If there can be an agreement on an allocation of Defense Costs, the Insurer shall advance on a current basis
Defense Costs allocated to covered Loss. If there can be no agreement on an allocation of Defense Costs,
the Insurer shall advance on a current basis Defense Costs which the Insurer believes to be covered under
MPGT 001 (04/99) Page 6 of 9
this Policy until a different allocation is negotiated, arbitrated or judicially determined. Any advancement of
Defense Costs shall be subject to, and conditioned upon receipt by the Insurer of, a written undertaking by the
Insureds that such advanced amounts shall be repaid to the Insurer by the Insureds severally according to
their respective interests if and to the extent the Insureds shall not be entitled under the terms and conditions
of this Policy to coverage for such Defense Costs.
Any negotiated, arbitrated or judicially determined allocation of Defense Costs on account of a Claim shall be
applied retroactively to all Defense Costs on account of such Claim, notwithstanding any prior advancement to
the contrary. Any allocation or advancement of Defense Costs on account of a Claim shall not apply to or
create any presumption with respect to the allocation of other Loss on account of such Claim or any other
Claim.
9. OTHER INSURANCE
If any Loss under this Policy is insured under any other valid and collectible policy(ies), prior or current, then
this Policy shall cover such Loss, subject to its limitations, conditions, provisions and other terms, only to the
extent that the amount of such Loss is in excess of the amount of such other insurance whether such other
insurance is stated to be primary, contributory, excess, contingent or otherwise, unless such other insurance is
written only as specific excess insurance over the Limits of Liability provided in this Policy.
10. TRANSACTIONS CHANGING COVERAGE
a. Acquisition or Creation of Another Organization or Plan
If, during the Policy Period, the Company:
i. acquires voting securities in another organization or creates another organization, which as a
result of such acquisition or creation becomes a Subsidiary;
ii. acquires any organization by merger into or consolidation with the Company; or
iii. with respect to the Fiduciary Liability Coverage Part if purchased, creates a Plan,
then, subject to all terms and conditions of this Policy, such organization, Plan and its Insureds shall
be covered under this Policy but only with respect to covered Wrongful Acts (under a Liability
Coverage Part) taking place or covered Loss (under the Commercial Crime or Bond Coverage Part, if
purchased) sustained after such acquisition or creation unless the Insurer agrees to provide coverage
by endorsement for Wrongful Acts taking place or Loss sustained prior to such acquisition or creation.
If the total assets of such acquired organization as reflected in the organization’s then most recent
consolidated financial statements exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the total assets of the Parent
Company as reflected in the Parent Company’s then most recent consolidated financial statements,
the Parent Company, as a condition precedent to coverage with respect to such Insureds, shall give
written notice of such acquisition or creation to the Insurer as soon as practicable and shall pay any
reasonable additional premium required by the Insurer.
b. Acquisition of Parent Company
If, during the Policy Period, any of the following events occurs:
i. the acquisition of the Parent Company, or of all or substantially all of its assets, by another
entity, or the merger or consolidation of the Parent Company into or with another entity such
that the Parent Company is not the surviving entity; or
ii. the obtaining by any person, entity or affiliated group of persons or entities of the right to elect,
appoint or designate at least fifty percent (50%) of the directors of the Parent Company;
then coverage under this Policy will continue in full force and effect until termination of this Policy, but
only with respect to Claims for covered Wrongful Acts (under a Liability Coverage Part) taking place or
covered Loss (under the Commercial Crime or Bond Coverage Part, if purchased) sustained before
MPGT 001 (04/99) Page 7 of 9
such event. Coverage under this Policy will cease as of the effective date of such event with respect
to Claims for Wrongful Acts (under a Liability Coverage Part) taking place and Loss (under the
Commercial Crime or Bond Coverage Part, if purchased) sustained after such event.
If such event occurs, the Insureds shall have the right, upon payment of the additional premium
described below, to an extension of the coverage described in the preceding paragraph for either a 1
year, 3 year, or 6 year Discovery Period following the termination of the Policy Period; but the Insurer
may, in its sole discretion and subject to any additional terms, conditions and premiums required by
the Insurer, agree by written endorsement to this Policy to any other Discovery Period requested by
the Insureds. This extension of coverage shall apply to those Coverage Parts with respect to which
the Insureds elect the coverage extension. This right of extension shall lapse unless written notice of
such election, together with payment of the additional premium due, is given by the Insureds to the
Insurer within forty-five (45) days following the effective date of such event.
Upon request from any Insured, the Insurer shall notify such Insured of the additional premium amount
for this extension of coverage.
The Insureds shall not be entitled to elect this extension of coverage if a Discovery Period is elected
pursuant to Subsection 4 of these General Conditions and Limitations.
c. Cessation of Subsidiaries
If before or during the Policy Period an organization ceases to be a Subsidiary, coverage with respect
to such Subsidiary and its Insureds shall continue until termination of this Policy. Such coverage
continuation shall apply only with respect to Claims for covered Wrongful Acts (under a Liability
Coverage Part) taking place and covered Loss (under the Commercial Crime or Bond Coverage Part,
if purchased) sustained prior to the date such organization ceased to be a Subsidiary.
d. Termination of Plan
If before or during the Policy Period a Plan is terminated, coverage with respect to such Plan and its
Insureds under the Fiduciary Liability Coverage Part (if purchased) shall continue until termination of
this Policy. Such coverage continuation shall apply with respect to Claims for Wrongful Acts taking
place prior to or after the date the Plan was terminated.
11. REPRESENTATIONS AND SEVERABILITY
The Insureds represent and acknowledge that the statements contained in the Application and any materials
submitted or required to be submitted therewith (all of which shall be maintained on file by the Insurer and be
deemed attached to and incorporated into this Policy as if physically attached), are true and: (i) are the basis
of
this Policy and are to be considered as incorporated into and constituting a part of this Policy; and (ii) shall be
deemed material to the acceptance of this risk or the hazard assumed by the Insurer under this Policy. This
Policy is issued in reliance upon the truth of such representations.
In the event the Application, including materials submitted or required to be submitted therewith, contains any
misrepresentation or omission:
a. made with the intent to deceive, or
b. which materially affects either the acceptance of the risk or the hazard assumed by the Insurer under
this Policy;
this Policy shall be void ab initio as to (i) any Company and any Plan if any Executive Officer knew the facts
that were not truthfully disclosed in the Applications, and (ii) any Insured Persons who knew the facts that were
not truthfully disclosed in the Application, whether or not such Executive Officer or Insured Person knew the
Application contained such misrepresentation or omission. Such knowledge shall not be imputed to any other
Insured Persons.
MPGT 001 (04/99) Page 8 of 9
12. TERMINATION OF POLICY
This Policy shall terminate at the earliest of the following times:
a. the effective date of termination specified in a prior written notice by the Parent Company to the
Insurer, provided this Policy may not be terminated by the Parent Company (i) after the effective date
of an event described in Subsection 10(b) of these General Conditions and Limitations, or (ii) if the
Policy Period is longer than one (1) year;
b. upon expiration of the Policy Period as set forth in Item 2(A) of the Declarations;
c. twenty (20) days after receipt by the Parent Company of a written notice of termination from the
Insurer for failure to pay a premium when due, unless the premium is paid within such twenty (20)
days period; or
d. at such other time as may be agreed upon by the Insurer and the Parent Company.
The Insurer may not terminate this Policy prior to expiration of the Policy Period, except as provided above for
non-payment of a premium. The Insurer shall refund the unearned premium computed pro rata. Payment or
tender of any unearned premium by the Insurer shall not be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such
termination, but such payment shall be made as soon as practicable.
13. TERRITORY AND VALUATION
All premiums, limits, retentions, Loss and other amounts under this Policy are expressed and payable in the
currency of the United States of America. If judgment is rendered, settlement is denominated or another
element of Loss under any Liability Coverage Part is stated in a currency other than United States of America
dollars, payment under this Policy shall be made in United States dollars at the rate of exchange as of 12:01
A.M. on the date the final judgment is reached, the amount of the settlement is agreed upon or the other
element of Loss is due, respectively.
Coverage under this Policy shall extend to Wrongful Acts taking place or Claims made or Loss sustained
anywhere in the world.
14. SUBROGATION
In the event of any payment under this Policy, the Insurer shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to
all the Insureds’ rights of recovery, including without limitation the Insured Persons’ rights to indemnification or
advancement from the Company. The Insureds shall execute all papers required and shall do everything
necessary to secure and preserve such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable
the Insurer effectively to bring suit or otherwise pursue subrogation rights in the name of the Insureds.
15. ACTION AGAINST THE INSURER
No action shall lie against the Insurer unless, as a condition precedent thereto, there shall have been full
compliance with all the terms of this Policy. No person or organization shall have any right under this Policy to
join the Insurer as a party to any action against Insureds to determine the Insured’s liability nor shall the
Insurer be impleaded by the Insureds or their legal representatives. Bankruptcy or insolvency of an Insured or
of the estate of any Insured Person shall not relieve the Insurer of its obligations nor deprive the Insurer of its
rights or defenses under this Policy.
16. AUTHORIZATION CLAUSE
By acceptance of this Policy, the Parent Company agrees to act on behalf of the Insureds with respect to the
giving and receiving of notice of Claim or Loss or termination, the payment of premiums and the receiving of
any return premiums that may become due under this Policy, the agreement to and acceptance of

17. ALTERATION, ASSIGNMENT AND HEADINGS
No change in, modification of, or assignment of interest under this Policy shall be effective except when made
by a written endorsement to this Policy which is signed by an authorized representative of the Insurer.

IV. OTHER CONDITIONS
A. DISCOVERY
This Investment Company Bond Coverage Part applies to loss discovered by the Insured during the Policy
Period. Discovery occurs when any Executive Officer or the Company's risk manager first becomes aware of
facts which would cause a reasonable person to assume that a loss of a type covered by this Investment
Company Bond Coverage Part has been or will be incurred, regardless of when the acts or acts causing or
contributing to such loss occurred, even though the exact amount or details of loss may not then be known.
MPAB 001 (12/99) Page 12 of 17
Discovery also occurs when any Executive Officer or the Company's risk manager receives notice of an
actual or potential claim in which it is alleged that the Insured is liable to a third party under circumstances
which, if true, would constitute a Loss under this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part.
B. LIMIT OF LIABILITY
With respect to this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part only, and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in General Condition and Limitation No. 5 of this Policy, the payment of any loss under this
Investment Company Bond Coverage Part shall not reduce the liability of the Insurer for other losses covered
under this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part. If a single aggregate Limit of Liability for all Coverage
Parts is granted as provided in Item 3(A) of the Declarations of this Policy, the payment of loss under this
Investment Company Bond Coverage Part shall reduce the liability of the Insurer for losses covered under
any Liability Coverage Parts.
The most the Insurer will pay for loss resulting from any Single Loss is the applicable Limit of Liability shown
in Item 3 of the Declarations; provided, however, that regardless of the number of years this Investment
Company Bond Coverage Part remains in force or the number of premiums paid, no Limit of Liability
cumulates from year to year or period to period.
C. SINGLE LOSS COVERED BY SINGLE INSURING CLAUSE
The Insurer will pay for loss resulting from a Single Loss under only a single Insuring Clause. If two or more
Insuring Clauses of this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part apply to a Single Loss, the Insured may
elect the Insuring Clause under which it will seek coverage. In no event will the Insurer pay more than the
applicable Limit of Liability under the applicable Insuring Clause in respect of such Single Loss.
D. DEDUCTIBLE
The Insurer will not pay for loss resulting from a Single Loss unless the amount of such loss exceeds the
applicable Single Loss deductible shown in Item 2 of the Declarations. The Insurer will then pay the amount
in excess of such deductible, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability.
There shall be no deductible applicable to any loss under Insuring Clause A. sustained by any Investment
Company named as Insured herein.
E. NOTICE/PROOF-LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE INSURER
(a) Within six (6) months after such discovery, the Insured shall furnish to the Insurer proof of loss, duly
sworn to, with full particulars;
(b) Lost Certificated Securities listed in a proof of loss shall be identified by certificate or bond numbers if
such securities were issued therewith;
(c) Legal proceedings for the recovery of any Loss hereunder shall not be brought prior to the expiration of
sixty (60) days after the original proof of loss is filed with the Insurer or after the expiration of twenty-
four (24) months from the discovery of such Loss;
(d) If any limitation embodied in this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part is prohibited by any law
controlling the construction hereof, such limitation shall be deemed to be amended so as to equal the
minimum period of limitation provided by such law;
(e) This Investment Company Bond Coverage Part affords coverage only in favor of the Insured. No suit,
action or legal proceedings shall be brought hereunder by any one other than the named Insured.

determined at the rate of exchange as of 12:01 a.m. on the date of discovery of the loss.
(2) Electronic Data Processing Media
In case of loss of, or damage to Electronic Data Processing Media used by the Insured in its business,
the Insurer shall be liable only if such items are actually reproduced by other Electronic Data
Processing Media of the same kind or quality and then for not more than the cost of the blank media
plus the cost of labor for the actual transcription or copying of data which shall have been furnished by
the Insured in order to reproduce such Electronic Data Processing Media, subject to the applicable
Limit of Liability.

business, the Insurer shall be liable only if such books or record are actually reproduced and then for
not more than the cost of the blank books, blank pages or other materials plus the cost of labor for the
actual transcription or copying of data which shall have been furnished by the Insured in order to
reproduce such books and other records.
(4) Property other than Money, Securities, Records, or Media
In case of loss of, or damage to, any Property other than Money, securities, books of account or other
records or Electronic Data Processing Media, the Insurer shall not be liable for more than the actual
cash value, with proper deduction for depreciation, of such Property. The Insurer may, at its election,
pay the actual cash value of, replace or repair such property. Disagreement between the Insurer and
the Insured as to the cash value or as to the adequacy of repair or replacement shall be resolved by
arbitration.
(5) Electronic Data
In case of loss of Electronic Data the Insurer shall be liable under Insuring Clause C. of this Investment
Company Bond Coverage Part only if such data is actually reproduced by other Electronic Data of the
same kind or quality and then for not more than the cost of labor for the actual transcription or copying
of data which shall have been furnished by the Insured in order to reproduce such Electronic Data.
However, if such Electronic Data cannot be reproduced and said Electronic Data represents securities,
or financial instruments having a value, then the loss will be valued as indicated in paragraph 5 of this
Condition.
(6) Set-Off
Any loss covered under this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part shall be reduced by all money
and property received by the Insured from any source in connection with any matter from which a loss

however paid. Any loss covered under this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part shall be reduced

if such loss is covered under Insuring Clause A.
MPAB 001 (12/99) Page 14 of 17
G. SECURITIES SETTLEMENT AND VALUATION
In the event of a loss of securities covered under Insuring Clause C. of this Investment Company Bond
Coverage Part, the Insured shall, subject to the conditions stated below, first attempt to replace the lost
securities by use of a letter of indemnity issued by it. In the event that it is unable to replace the lost securities
by a letter of indemnity, the Insured shall, subject to the Insurer's prior consent, secure a lost instrument bond
for the purpose of obtaining the issuance of duplicate securities.
It is further agreed that the Insurer will indemnify the Insured for such sum, in excess of the applicable
Deductible stated in the Declarations, not exceeding the amount of the Single Loss Limit of Liability stated in
the Declarations, remaining available for the payment of any loss at the time of the execution by the Insured
of a letter of indemnity or the securing of the lost instrument bond, which the Insured may be required to pay
either during the Policy Period or any time thereafter by reason of any indemnifying agreement executed by
the Insured or delivered by the Insured to the company issuing the lost instrument bond.
It is further agreed that the Insured shall bear the cost of obtaining such letter of indemnity or lost instrument
bond for that portion of the loss which falls within the applicable Deductible or which is in excess of the Single
Loss Limit of Liability remaining available for the payment of said loss.
The Insurer shall bear the cost of obtaining such letter of indemnity or lost instrument bond for that loss which
would be covered under Insuring Clause C. of this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part and which
exceeds the Deductible and is within the Single Loss Limit of Liability remaining available for the payment of
any loss.
In the event the Insured sustains a loss of securities covered under Insuring Clause C. of this Investment
Company Bond Coverage Part but the securities are valued at an amount in excess of the Single Loss Limit
of Liability, the Insured may apply any portion of the applicable Single Loss Limit of Liability, up to an amount
not to exceed 50% of that limit, to the purchase of a lost instrument bond under its own indemnity to replace
some or all of those securities. In the event the Insured elects to do so, the Single Loss Limit of Liability shall
be reduced by the amount used to purchase the lost instrument bond and the remainder of the Single Loss
Limit of Liability shall be applied to settlement of loss.
Any lost instrument bond purchased pursuant to this section will be purchased from the Insurer, or its
affiliates, unless the Insurer and its affiliates decline to issue it.
Under this Insuring Clause only, loss includes the value of subscription, conversion, redemption or deposit
privileges for Financial Documents unless they are lost while in the mail or with a carrier for hire other than an
armored motor vehicle company for the purpose of transportation. The privileges shall be valued as of the
date immediately preceding the expiration thereof, as determined by arbitration or agreement.
The Insurer is not required to issue its indemnity for any portion of a loss of securities which is not covered by
this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part.
H. ASSIGNMENT - SUBROGATION - RECOVERY – COOPERATION
(1) In the event of payment under this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part, the Insured shall deliver,
if so requested by the Insurer, an assignment of such of the Insured's rights, title and interest and
causes of action as it has against any person or entity to the extent of the loss payment.
(2) In the event of payment under this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part, the Insurer shall be
subrogated to all of the Insured's rights of recovery therefor against any person or entity to the extent of
such payment.
MPAB 001 (12/99) Page 15 of 17
(3) Recoveries, whether effected by the Insurer or by the Insured, shall be applied net of the expense of
such recovery first to the satisfaction of the Insured's loss which would otherwise have been paid but for
the fact that it is in excess of either the Single Loss Limit of Liability, secondly, to the Insurer as
reimbursement of amounts paid in settlement of the Insured's claim, and thirdly, to the Insured in
satisfaction of any Deductible Amount. Recovery on account of loss of securities as set forth in
Subsection E. of the Conditions of this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part or recovery from
reinsurance or indemnity of the Insurer shall not be deemed a recovery as used herein.
(4) Upon the Insurer's request and at reasonable times and places designated by the Insurer the Insured
shall:
(a) submit to examination by the Insurer and subscribe to the same under oath; and
(b) produce for the Insurer's examination all pertinent records; and
(c) cooperate with the Insurer in all matters pertaining to the loss.
(5) The Insured shall execute all papers and render assistance to secure the Insurer the rights and causes
of action provided for herein. The Insured shall do nothing after discovery of loss to prejudice such
rights or causes of action.
I. OWNERSHIP
This Investment Company Bond Coverage Part shall apply to loss of Property or Electronic Data Processing
Media and Electronic Data (1) owned by the Insured, (2) held by the Insured in any capacity, or (3) for which
the Insured is legally liable.
J. TERMINATION OF THIS Investment Company Bond Coverage Part
In addition to any termination pursuant to Subsection 12. of the General Conditions and Limitations of this
Policy, this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part shall also terminate in its entirety:
(1) upon the voluntary liquidation or dissolution of the Parent Company;
(2) upon the appointment of (1) a receiver, trustee or other fiduciary of the property of the Parent Company,
or (2) a committee for the dissolution thereof; or
(3) as to any Insured other than the Parent Company upon the appointment of (1) a receiver, trustee or
other or fiduciary of the property of said Insured or (2) a committee for the dissolution thereof.
K. ACTION AGAINST SERVICING CONTRACTOR, SERVICE BUREAU OR CUSTOMER
This Investment Company Bond Coverage Part does not afford coverage in favor of any Servicing Contractor,
Service Bureau or customers of aforesaid, and upon payment to the Insured by the Insurer on account of any
loss through fraudulent or dishonest acts committed by any of the partners, directors, officers or employees of
such Servicing Contractor, Service Bureau or customers whether acting alone or in collusion with others, an
assignment of such of the Insured's rights and causes of action as they may have against such Servicing
Contractor, Service Bureau, or customers by reason of such acts so committed shall, to the extent of such
payment, but given by the Insured to the Insurer, and the Insured shall execute all papers necessary to
secure to the Insurer, the rights provided herein.
L. TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION AS TO ANY EMPLOYEE, SERVICING CONTRACTOR OR SERVICE
BUREAU
MPAB 001 (12/99) Page 16 of 17
This Investment Company Bond Coverage Part terminates as to any Employee or Servicing Contractor as
soon as any Executive Officer or the Company's risk manager learns of any dishonest or fraudulent act
committed by such person at any time, whether in the employment of the Insured or otherwise, whether or not
of the type covered under the Insuring Clauses A. or B., against the Insured or any other person or entity,
without prejudice to the Loss of any Property then in transit in the custody of such person. Termination of
coverage as to any Insured terminates liability for any Loss sustained by such Insured which is discovered
after the effective date of such termination.
This Investment Company Bond Coverage Part terminates as to any Service Bureau as soon as any
Executive Officer or the Company's risk manager, shall learn of any dishonest or fraudulent act committed by
any partner, director, officer or employee of any such Service Bureau at any time against the Insured or any
other person or entity, without prejudice to the Loss of any Property then in transit in the custody of such
person.
M. ERISA WARRANTY
The Insurer warrants that the coverage afforded by this Investment Company Bond Coverage Part will be
equal to that required of the Insured by regulations properly promulgated under the ERISA with respect to
losses caused by fraudulent or dishonest acts of Employees and sustained by Employment Benefit Plans.
N. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES
Securities included in the systems for the central handling of securities established and maintained by
Depository Trust Company, Midwest Depository Trust Company, Pacific Securities Depository Trust
Company, and Philadelphia Depository Trust Company, hereinafter called Corporations, to the extent of the
Insured's interest therein as effective by the making of appropriate entries on the books and records of such
Corporations shall be deemed to be Property.
The words "Employee" and "Employees" shall be deemed to include the officers, partners, clerks and other
employees of the New York Stock Exchange, Boston Stock Exchange, Midwest Stock Exchange, Pacific
Stock Exchange and Philadelphia Stock Exchange, hereinafter called Exchanges, and of the above named
Corporations, and of any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the systems for
the central handling of securities established and maintained by such Corporations, and any employee of any
recognized service company, while such officers, partners, clerks and other employees and employees of
service companies perform services for such Corporations in the operation of such systems. For the purpose
of the above definition, a recognized service company shall be any company providing clerks or other
personnel to said Exchanges or Corporations on a contract basis.
The Insurer shall not be liable on account of any loss (es) in connection with the central handling of securities
within the systems established and maintained by such Corporations, unless such loss (es) shall be in excess
of the amount(s) recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy of insurance indemnifying such
Corporations, against such loss (es), and then the Insurer shall be liable hereunder only for the Insured's
share of such excess loss (es), but in no event for more than the Limit of Liability applicable hereunder.
For the purpose of determining the Insured's share of excess loss (es) it shall be deemed that the Insured has
an interest in any certificate representing any security included within such systems equivalent to the interest
that the Insured then has in all certificates representing the same security included within such systems and
that such Corporations shall use their best judgment in apportioning the amount(s) recoverable and recovered
under any bond or policy of insurance indemnifying such Corporations against such loss(es) in connection
with the central handling of securities within such systems among all those having an interest as recorded by
appropriate entries in the books and records of such Corporations in Property involved in such loss(es) on the
basis that each such interest shall share in the amount(s) so recoverable or recovered in the ratio that the
value of each such interest bears to the total value of all such interests and that the Insured's share of such
excess loss(es) shall be the amount of the Insured's interest in such Property in excess of the amount(s) so
apportioned to the Insured by such Corporations.
MPAB 001 (12/99) Page 17 of 17
This Investment Company Bond Coverage Part does not afford coverage in favor of such Corporations or
Exchanges or any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the systems for the
central handling of securities established and maintained by such Corporations, and upon payment to the
Insured by the Underwriter on account of any loss (es) within the systems, an assignment of such of the
Insured's rights and causes of action as it may have against such Corporations or Exchanges shall to the
extent of such payment, be given by the Insured to the Insurer, and the Insured shall execute all papers
necessary to secure to the Insurer the rights provided for herein.

NEW YORK AMENDATORY
(INSURANCE LAW SEC. 3420 REQUIREMENTS)
It is agreed that the General Conditions and Limitations are amended as follows:
1. Subsection 6, Notice, is amended by adding the following:
Notice given by or on behalf of the Insured, or written notice by or on behalf of an injured person or any other
claimant, to any licensed agent of the Insurer in the State of New York, with particulars sufficient to identify the
Insured, shall be deemed notice to the Insurer.
Failure to give any notice required to be given by this subsection within the time prescribed herein shall not invalidate
any Claim made by the Insured, an injured person or any other claimant if it shall be shown not to have been
reasonably possible to give such notice within the prescribed time and that notice was given as soon as was
reasonably possible thereafter.
Except as provided in the immediate paragraph above, failure to give any notice required to be given by this
subsection within the time prescribed herein shall not invalidate any Claim made by the Insured, injured person or any
other claimant, unless the failure to provide timely notice has prejudiced the Insurer. However, notice of such Claim
must be first made during the Policy Period, any renewal thereof, or any Discovery Period.
2. The following subsection is added:
LEGAL ACTION AGAINST US
No person or organization has a right under this Policy:
a. To join the Insurer as a party or otherwise bring the Insurer into a suit asking for damages from an Insured; or
b. To sue the Insurer under this Policy unless all of its terms have been fully complied with.
A person or organization may sue the Insurer to recover on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment against
an Insured; but the Insurer will not be liable for damages that are not payable under the terms of this Policy or that
are in excess of the applicable limit of insurance. An agreed settlement means a settlement and release of
liability signed by the Insurer, the Insured and the claimant or the claimant's legal representative.
Notwithstanding anything in this subsection to the contrary, in the event a judgment against an Insured or such
Insured’s personal representative in an action brought to recover damages for injury sustained or loss or damage
occasioned during the life of the Policy shall remain unsatisfied at the expiration of thirty (30) days from the
servicing of notice of entry of judgment upon the attorney for the Insured, or upon the Insured, and upon the
Insurer, then an action may, except during a stay or limited stay of execution against the Insured on such
judgment, be maintained against the Insurer under the terms of the Policy for the amount of such judgment not
exceeding the amount of the applicable limit of coverage under the Policy.
MPLA001a-NY (01/09) Printed in U.S.A.
MPLA001a-NY (01/09) Printed in U.S.A.
With respect to an otherwise covered Claim arising out of death or personal injury of any natural person, if the
Insurer disclaims liability or denies coverage based upon the failure to provide timely notice, then the injured
person or other claimant may maintain an action directly against the Insurer, in which the sole question is the
Insurer’s disclaimer or denial based on the failure to provide timely notice, unless within sixty (60) days following
such disclaimer or denial, the Insured or the Insurer: (a) initiates an action to declare the rights of the parties
under this Policy; and (b) names the injured person or other claimant as a party to the action.
All other terms and conditions of this Policy remain unchanged.

NEW YORK CHANGES - TRANSFER OF DUTIES
WHEN A LIMIT OF INSURANCE IS USED UP
This endorsement is added to the policy and supercedes any provision to the contrary:
The following Condition is added to General Conditions and Limitations, paragraph 5. Limit of Liability and
Retention.
Transfer of Duties When a Limit of Insurance is Used up.
a. If we conclude that, based on occurrences, offenses, claims or suits which have been reported to us and to
which this insurance may apply, the:
(1) Aggregate Limit; or
(2) Each Separate Limit,
is likely to be used up in the payment of judgments or settlements, we will notify the first Named Insured, in writing, to
that effect.
b. When a limit of insurance described in paragraph a. above has actually been used up in the payment of
judgments or settlements:
(1) We will notify the first Named Insured, in writing, as soon as practicable, that:
(a) Such a limit has actually been used up; and
(b)Our duty to defend suits seeking damages subject to that limit has also ended.
(2) We will initiate, and cooperate in, the transfer of control, to any appropriate insured, of all claims and suits
seeking damages which are subject to that limit and which are reported to us before that limit is used up. That
insured must cooperate in the transfer of control of said claims and suits.
We agree to take such steps, as we deem appropriate, to avoid a default in, or continue the defense of, such suits
until such transfer is completed, provided the appropriate insured is cooperating in completing such transfer.
We will take no action whatsoever with respect to any claim or suit seeking damages that would have been
subject to that limit, had it not been used up, if the claim or suit is reported to us after that limit of insurance has
been used up.
(3) The first Named Insured, and any other insured involved in a suit seeking damages subject to that limit, must
arrange for the defense of such suit within such time period as agreed to between the appropriate insured and
us. Absent any such agreement, arrangements for the defense of such suit must be made as soon as
practicable.
(c) The first Named Insured will reimburse us for expenses we incur in taking those steps we deem appropriate in
accordance with paragraph b.(2) above.
MPLL001-NY (10-91) Page 2 of 2
The duty of the first named Insured to reimburse us will begin on:
(1) The date on which the applicable limit of insurance is used up, if we sent notice in accordance with paragraph a.
above; or
(2) The date on which we sent notice in accordance with paragraph b.(1) above, if we did not send notice in accordance
with paragraph a. above.
(d) The exhaustion of any limit of insurance by the payments of judgments or settlements, and the resulting end of our
duty to defend, will not be affected by our failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Condition.

This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:
MANAGEMENT PROTECTION POLICY
It is agreed:
1. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection 6, Notice, and the first paragraph of Subsection 5, Limit of Liability and
Retention, of the General Conditions and Limitations, a Prior Covered Claim under any Liability Coverage Part shall
be deemed "first made" for purposes of this Policy when the Insurer first receives written notice of such Claim from an
Insured or a third party. Accordingly, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Policy (including this
Endorsement), this Policy shall apply to Claims for which notice is first received by the Insurer during the Policy Period
or any applicable Discovery Period even if such Claim was filed against, sent or delivered to, or received by, the
Insureds prior to the Policy Period.
2. For purposes of this Endorsement, a Prior Covered Claim means any Claim:
a. filed against, sent or delivered to, or received by, the Insureds prior to the Policy Period;
b. notice of which was first received by the Insurer during the Policy Period or any applicable Discovery Period; and
c. which would have been covered in whole or in part under a valid and collectible Management Protection
Insurance Policy issued to the Parent Company by the Insurer or its affiliate for the period in which such Claim
was first filed against, sent or delivered to, or received by, the Insureds ("Prior Policy").
3. Coverage afforded under this Policy for any Prior Covered Claim shall be no broader than the coverage which would
have been afforded under the Prior Policy if written notice of such Claim had been received by the Insurer or its
affiliate during the policy period of the Prior Policy.
The foregoing sentence may result in (but not be limited to): (a) reducing the limit of liability available under this
Policy for such Claim to the remaining available limit of liability applicable to the Prior Policy, (b) increasing the
applicable Retention amount to that Retention amount applicable to the Prior Policy, or (c) reducing or eliminating
coverage due to exclusions or other restrictions in the Prior Policy but not in this Policy.
4. No coverage shall be afforded under this Policy for a Prior Covered Claim if (i) there was no Prior Policy in effect at
the time such Claim was first filed against, sent or delivered to, or received by the Insureds, or (ii) the Prior Policy
affords coverage for such Claim or would afford coverage for such Claim but for the exhaustion of the Limit of Liability
under the Prior Policy.
5. The Insurer's maximum liability under this Policy for any Prior Covered Claim shall be part of and not in addition to the
Limit of Liability set forth in Item 3 of the Declarations for this Policy otherwise applicable to such Claim.
6. If the Insureds are entitled to but fail or refuse to elect a Discovery Period as provided in Subsection 4 of the General
Conditions and Limitations, then any Insured Person may elect the Discovery Period just for such Insured Person by
giving written notice of such election, together with payment of the additional premium due, to the Insurer within 120
days following the effective date of the Policy's termination or non-renewal. The premium due for such Insured
Person's Discovery Period with respect to any Liability Coverage Part shall equal that percent set forth in Item 5(A) of
the Declarations for such Liability Coverage Part of the Annual Premium allocable to such Insured Person. Any
coverage afforded under this Policy for such Insured Person during such Discovery Period shall be no broader than
the coverage which would be applicable to such Insured Person under this Policy if all Insureds elected the Discovery
Period.
ALL OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS REMAIN UNCHANGED.

Pursuant to Section 708 (b) of the New York Business Corporation Law (the "NYBCL"), the
undersigned, the members of the Board of Directors of 180 Degree Capital Corp. (the "Company"), hereby
adopt and consent to the adoption of the following resolutions and agree that said resolutions shall have the
same force and effect as if adopted at a meeting of the Board of Directors duly called and held for such
purpose.
Fidelity Bond
WHEREAS, Section 17(g) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), and
Rule 17g-1(a) thereunder, requires a registered closed-end management investment company
(“CEF”), such as the Company, to provide and maintain a bond which shall be issued by a reputable
fidelity insurance company, authorized to do business in the place where the bond is issued, to
protect the Company against larceny and embezzlement, covering each officer and employee of the
CEF who may singly, or jointly with others, have access to the securities or funds of the CEF, either
directly or through authority to draw upon such funds of, or to direct generally, the disposition of
such securities, unless the officer or employee has such access solely through his position as an
officer or employee of a bank (each, a "covered person");
WHEREAS, Rule 17g-1 specifies that the bond may be in the form of (i) an individual
bond for each covered person, or a schedule or blanket bond covering such persons, (ii) a blanket
bond which names the Company as the only insured (a "single insured bond"), or (iii) a bond which
names the Company and one or more other parties as insureds (a "joint insured bond"), as permitted
by Rule 17g-1;
WHEREAS, the Rule requires that a majority of directors who are not "interested persons"
of the CEF approve periodically (but not less than once every 12 months) the reasonableness of the
form and amount of the bond, with due consideration to the value of the aggregate assets of the
Company to which any covered person may have access, the type and terms of the arrangements
made for the custody and safekeeping of such assets, and the nature of securities and other
investments to be held by the Company; and
WHEREAS, under the Rule, the Company is required to make certain filings with the SEC
and give certain notices to each member of the Board of Directors in connection with the bond as
specified in the accompanying memorandum attached hereto, and designate an officer who shall
make such filings and give such notices.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that having considered the expected
aggregate value of the securities and funds of the Company to which officers or employees of the
Company may have access (either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct
generally the disposition of such securities), the type and terms of the arrangements made for the
custody of such securities and funds, the nature of securities and other investments to be held by
the Company, the accounting procedures and controls of the Company, the nature and method of
conducting the operations of the Company, and the requirements of Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act
and Rule 17g-1 thereunder, it is determined that an extension of the bond approved in 2017 in the
amount, type, form, premium and coverage of the bond, a copy of which is attached here to as
Exhibit A, covering the officers and employees of the Company and insuring the Company against
loss from fraudulent or dishonest acts, including larceny and embezzlement, issued by ACE
American Insurance Company in the amount of $6,000,000 and a premium of $12,561, (the
"Fidelity Bond") are hereby approved;
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the officers of the Company be, and they hereby are,
authorized to take all appropriate actions, with the advice of legal counsel to the Company, to
provide and maintain the Fidelity Bond on behalf of the Company; and
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Secretary of the Company is hereby designated and
directed to:
(1) File with the SEC within 10 days after receipt of the executed Fidelity Bond, or
any amendment thereof:
(i) a copy of the Fidelity Bond;
(ii) a copy of each resolution of the Board of Directors, including a majority
of the directors who are not "interested persons" of the Company,
approving the amount, type, form and coverage of the Fidelity Bond and
the premium to be paid by the Company;
(iii) a statement as to the period for which premiums have been paid; and
(iv) a copy of any amendment to such agreement within 10 days after the
execution of such amendment.
(2) File with the SEC, in writing, within five days after the making of a claim under
the Fidelity Bond by the Company, a statement of the nature and amount thereof;
(3) File with the SEC, within five days after the receipt thereof, a copy of the terms of
the settlement of any claim under the Fidelity Bond by the Company; and
(4) Notify by registered mail each member of the Board of Directors at his or her last
known residence address of:
(i) any cancellation, termination or modification of the Fidelity Bond, not less
than 45 days prior to the effective date of the cancellation, termination or
modification;
(ii) the filing and the settlement of any claim under the Fidelity Bond by the
Company, at the time the filings required by (2) and (3) above are made
with the SEC; and
(iii) the filing and proposed terms of settlement of any claim under the Fidelity
Bond by any other named insured, within five days of the receipt of a
notice from the issuer of the Fidelity Bond.
These actions are taken this 21st day of February, 2018.
This Unanimous Written Consent may be signed in two or more counterparts, which together shall
constitute a single written consent.
