Up to 10% of each of the Tax Exempt Long-Term, Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term, and Tax Exempt Short-Term Funds’ net assets may be invested in inverse floating rate securities (or securities with similar economic characteristics). These securities present special risks for two reasons: (1) if short-term interest rates rise (fall), the income the fund earns on the inverse floating rate security will |
fall (rise); and (2) if long-term interest rates rise (fall) the value of the inverse floating rate security will fall (rise) more than the value of the underlying bond because of the leveraged nature of the investment. The Tax Exempt Long-Term, Tax Exempt Intermediate-Term, and Tax Exempt Short-Term Funds may seek to buy these securities at attractive values and yields that over time more than compensate the Funds for the securities’ price volatility. |

n
|
general obligation bonds,
which are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit, and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest.
|
n
|
revenue bonds,
which are payable from the revenue derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power.
|
n
|
municipal lease obligations,
which are backed by the municipality’s covenant to budget for the payments due under the lease obligation.
|
|
Municipal lease obligations may be determined to be liquid in accordance with the guidelines established by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. In determining the liquidity of a municipal lease obligation, we will consider among other things: (1) the frequency of trades and quotes for the municipal lease obligation; (2) the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the municipal lease obligation and the number of other potential purchasers; (3) dealer undertakings to make a market in the municipal lease obligation; (4) the nature of the marketplace trades, including the time needed to dispose of the municipal lease obligation, the method of soliciting offers, and the mechanics of transfer; (5) whether the municipal lease obligation is of a size that will be attractive to institutional investors; (6) whether the municipal lease obligation contains a non-appropriation clause and the likelihood that the obligor will fail to make an appropriation therefor; and (7) such other factors as we may determine to be relevant to such determination.
|
n
|
industrial development revenue bonds,
such as pollution control revenue bonds, which are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to obtain funds for privately operated facilities.
|
n
|
inverse floating rate securities,
(California Bond Fund only) which are securities with coupons that vary inversely with changes in short-term tax-exempt interest rates and thus are considered leveraged investments in an underlying municipal bond.
|
n
|
when-issued and delayed-delivery securities,
each Fund’s assets may be invested in securities offered on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, which means that delivery and payment take place after the date of the commitment to purchase, normally within 45 days, both price and interest rate are fixed at the time of commitment, the Funds do not earn interest on the securities until settlement, and the market value of the securities may fluctuate between purchase and settlement. Such securities can be sold before settlement date.
|
n
|
synthetic instruments,
which combine a municipality’s long-term obligation to pay interest and principal with the obligation of a third party to repurchase the instrument on short notice. Securities are often specifically structured so that they are eligible investments for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy the maturity restrictions for a money market fund, some money market securities have demand or put features, which have the effect of shortening the maturity of the securities.
|
n
|
tax-exempt liquidity protected preferred shares
(or similar securities), which are generally designed to pay dividends that reset on or about every seven days in a remarketing process and possess an obligation from a liquidity provider (typically a high-quality bank) to purchase, at a price equal to the par amount of the preferred shares plus accrued dividends, all liquidity protected preferred shares that are subject to sale and not remarketed. The maturity of liquidity protected preferred shares will be deemed to be the date on which the underlying principal amount may be recovered or the next dividend rate adjustment date consistent with applicable regulatory requirements.
|
n
|
variable-rate demand notes (VRDNs)
provide the right to sell the security at face value on either that day or within the rate-reset period. The interest rate is adjusted at a stipulated daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or other specified time interval to reflect current market conditions. VRDNs will normally trade as if the maturity is the earlier put date, even though stated maturity is longer. The California Money Market Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in VRDNs.
|
n
|
Changes in state laws, including voter referendums, that restrict revenues or raise costs for issuers.
|
n
|
Court decisions that affect a category of municipal bonds, such as municipal lease obligations or electric utilities.
|
n
|
Natural disasters such as floods, storms, hurricanes, droughts, fires, or earthquakes.
|
n
|
Bankruptcy or financial distress of a prominent municipal issuer within the state.
|
n
|
Economic issues that affect critical industries or large employers or that weaken real estate prices.
|
n
|
Reductions in federal or state financial aid.
|
n
|
Imbalance in the supply and demand for the state’s municipal securities.

n
|
general obligation bonds,
which are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit, and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest.
|
n
|
revenue bonds,
which are payable from the revenue derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power.
|
n
|
municipal lease obligations,
which are backed by the municipality’s covenant to budget for the payments due under the lease obligation.
|
|
Municipal lease obligations may be determined to be liquid in accordance with the guidelines established by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. In determining the liquidity of a municipal lease obligation, we will consider among other things: (1) the frequency of trades and quotes for the municipal lease obligation; (2) the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the municipal lease obligation and the number of other potential purchasers; (3) dealer undertakings to make a market in the municipal lease obligation; (4) the nature of the marketplace trades, including the time needed to dispose of the municipal lease obligation, the method of soliciting offers, and the mechanics of transfer; (5) whether the municipal lease obligation is of a size that will be attractive to institutional investors; (6) whether the municipal lease obligation contains a non-appropriation clause and the likelihood that the obligor will fail to make an appropriation therefor; and (7) such other factors as we may determine to be relevant to such determination.
|
n
|
industrial development revenue bonds,
such as pollution control revenue bonds, which are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to obtain funds for privately operated facilities.
|
n
|
inverse floating rate securities,
(Florida Tax-Free Income Fund only) which are securities with coupons that vary inversely with changes in short-term tax-exempt interest rates and thus are considered leveraged investments in an underlying municipal bond.
|
n
|
when-issued and delayed-delivery securities,
each Fund’s assets may be invested in securities offered on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, which means that delivery and payment take place after the date of the commitment to purchase, normally within 45 days, both price and interest rate are fixed at the time of commitment, the Funds do not earn interest on the securities until settlement, and the market value of the securities may fluctuate between purchase and settlement. Such securities can be sold before settlement date.
|
n
|
synthetic instruments,
which combine a municipality’s long-term obligation to pay interest and principal with the obligation of a third party to repurchase the instrument on short notice. Securities are often specifically structured so that they are eligible investments for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy the maturity restrictions for a money market fund, some money market securities have demand or put features, which have the effect of shortening the maturity of the securities.
|
n
|
tax-exempt liquidity protected preferred shares
(or similar securities), which are generally designed to pay dividends that reset on or about every seven days in a remarketing process and possess an obligation from a liquidity provider (typically a high-quality bank) to purchase, at a price equal to the par amount of the preferred shares plus accrued dividends, all liquidity protected preferred shares that are subject to sale and not remarketed. The maturity of liquidity protected preferred shares will be deemed to be the date on which the underlying principal amount may be recovered or the next dividend rate adjustment date consistent with applicable regulatory requirements.
|
n
|
variable-rate demand notes (VRDNs)
provide the right to sell the security at face value on either that day or within the rate-reset
|
period. The interest rate is adjusted at a stipulated daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or other specified time interval to reflect current market conditions. VRDNs will normally trade as if the maturity is the earlier put date, even though stated maturity is longer. The Florida Tax-Free Money Market Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in VRDNs. |
n
|
Distributions of the excess net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss are taxable as ordinary income.
|
n

Distributions of net realized capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) are taxable as
|
n
|
Distributions on both short-term and long-term net realized capital gains are taxable whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares.

The Adviser has agreed, through August 1, 2011, to make payments or waive management, administration, and other fees to limit the expenses of the Fund so that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund (exclusive of guarantee program fee, commission recapture, expense offset arrangements, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed an annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This arrangement may not be changed or terminated during this time period without approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees and may be changed or terminated by the Adviser at any time after August 1, 2011.

n
|
general obligation bonds
,
which are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit, and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest.
|
n
|
revenue bonds
,
which are payable from the revenue derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power.
|
n
|
municipal lease obligations
,
which are backed by the municipality’s covenant to budget for the payments due under the lease obligation;
|
n
|
industrial development revenue bonds
,
such as pollution control revenue bonds, which are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to obtain funds for privately operated facilities.
|
n
|
inverse floating rate securities
,
(New York Bond Fund only) which are securities with coupons that vary inversely with changes in short-term tax-exempt interest rates and thus are considered leveraged investments in an underlying municipal bond.
|
n
|
when-issued and delayed-delivery securities
,
each Fund’s assets may be invested in securities offered on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, which means that delivery and payment take place after the date of the commitment to purchase, normally within 45 days, both price and interest rate are fixed at the time of commitment, the Funds do not earn interest on the securities until settlement, and the market value of the securities may fluctuate between purchase and settlement. Such securities can be sold before settlement date.
|
n
|
synthetic instruments
,
which combine a municipality’s long-term obligation to pay interest and principal with the obligation of a third party to repurchase the instrument on short notice. Securities are often specifically structured so that they are eligible investments for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy the maturity restrictions for a money market fund, some money market securities have demand or put features, which have the effect of shortening the maturity of the securities.
|
n
|
tax-exempt liquidity protected preferred shares
(
or similar securities), which are generally designed to pay dividends that reset on or about every seven days in a remarketing process and possess an obligation from a liquidity provider (typically a high-quality bank) to purchase, at a price equal to the par amount of the preferred shares plus accrued dividends, all liquidity protected preferred shares that are subject to sale and not remarketed. The maturity of liquidity protected preferred shares will be deemed to be the date on which the underlying principal amount may be recovered or the next dividend rate adjustment date consistent with applicable regulatory requirements.
|
n
|
Variable-rate demand notes
(VRDNs)
provide the right to sell the security at face value on either that day or within the rate-reset
|
|
period. The interest rate is adjusted at a stipulated daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or other specified time interval to reflect current market conditions. VRDNs will normally trade as if the maturity is the earlier put date, even though stated maturity is longer. The New York Money Market Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in VRDNs.

Issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, including “prerefunded” and “escrowed to maturity” tax-exempt securities;
|
n |
Rated or subject to a guarantee that is rated in one of the two highest categories for short-term securities by at least two of the Fund’s designated Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs), or by one designated NRSRO if the security is rated by only one NRSRO;

Unrated but determined by us to be of comparable quality.

n
|
Primarily investing in securities considered at least investment grade at the time of purchase. Nevertheless, even investment-grade securities are subject to some credit risk. In addition, the ratings of securities are the rating agencies’ estimates of the credit quality of the securities. The ratings may not take into account every risk related to whether interest or principal will be repaid on a timely basis.
|
n
|
When evaluating potential investments for the Funds, our credit analysts also independently assess credit risk and its impact on the Funds’ portfolio.
|
n
|
Diversifying the Funds’ portfolio by investing
in securities of a large number of unrelated issuers, which reduces a Fund’s exposure to the risks of an investment in the securities of any one issuer or group of issuers.
We invest in many securities with slightly different risk characteristics and across different economic sectors and geographic regions. If a random credit event should occur, such as a default, a Fund would suffer a much smaller loss than if the Fund
|
|
were concentrated in relatively large holdings with highly correlated risks.
|
n
|
Intermediate- and long-term municipal bonds have the greatest call risk, because most municipal bonds may not be called until after 10 years from the date of issue. The period of “call protection” may be longer or shorter than 10 years, but regardless, bonds purchased closest to the date of issue will have the most call protection. Typically, bonds with original maturities of 10 years or less are not callable.
|
n
|
Although investors certainly appreciate the rise in bond prices when interest rates drop, falling interest rates create the environment necessary to “call” the higher-yielding bonds from your Fund. When bonds are called, a Fund is affected in several ways. Most likely, we must reinvest the bond-call proceeds at lower interest rates. The Fund’s income may drop as a result. The Fund also may realize a taxable capital gain.

n
|
general obligation bonds
,
which are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit, and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest.
|
n
|
revenue bonds
,
which are payable from the revenue derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power.
|
n
|
municipal lease obligations
,
which are backed by the municipality’s covenant to budget for the payments due under the lease obligation.
|
|
Municipal lease obligations may be determined to be liquid in accordance with the guidelines established by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. In determining the liquidity of a municipal lease obligation, we will consider among other things: (1) the frequency of trades and quotes for the municipal lease obligation; (2) the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the municipal lease obligation and the number of other potential purchasers; (3) dealer undertakings to make a market in the municipal lease obligation; (4) the nature of the marketplace trades, including the time needed to dispose of the municipal lease obligation, the method of soliciting offers, and the mechanics of transfer; (5) whether the municipal lease obligation is of a size that will be attractive to institutional investors; (6) whether the municipal lease obligation contains a non-appropriation clause and the likelihood that the obligor will fail to make an appropriation therefor; and (7) such other factors as we may determine to be relevant to such determination.
|
n
|
industrial development revenue bonds
,
such as pollution control revenue bonds, which are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to obtain funds for privately operated facilities.
|
n
|
inverse floating rate securities
,
(Virginia Bond Fund only) which are securities with coupons that vary inversely with changes in short-term tax-exempt interest rates and thus are considered
leveraged investments in an underlying municipal bond.
|
|
Up to 10% of the Virginia Bond Fund’s net assets may be invested in inverse floating rate securities (or securities with similar economic characteristics). These securities present special risks for two reasons: (1) if short-term interest rates rise (fall), the income the fund earns on the inverse floating rate security will fall (rise); and (2) if long-term interest rates rise (fall) the value of the inverse floating rate security will fall (rise) more than the value of the underlying bond because of the leveraged nature of the investment. The Virginia Bond Fund may seek to buy these securities at attractive values and yields that over time more than compensate the Fund for the securities’ price volatility.
|
n
|
when-issued and delayed-delivery securities
,
each Fund’s assets may be invested in securities offered on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, which means that delivery and payment take place after the date of the commitment to purchase, normally within 45 days, both price and interest rate are fixed at the time of commitment, the Funds do not earn interest on the securities until settlement, and the market value of the securities may fluctuate between purchase and settlement. Such securities can be sold before settlement date.
|
n
|
synthetic instruments
, which combine a municipality’s long-term obligation to pay interest and principal with the obligation of a third party to repurchase the instrument on short notice. Securities are often specifically structured so that they are eligible investments for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy the maturity restrictions for a money market fund, some money market securities have demand or put features, which have the effect of shortening the maturity of the securities.
|
n
|
tax-exempt liquidity protected preferred shares
(or similar securities), which are generally designed to pay dividends that reset on or about every seven days in a remarketing process and possess an obligation from a liquidity provider (typically a high-quality bank) to purchase, at a price equal to the par amount of the preferred shares plus accrued dividends, all liquidity protected preferred shares that are subject to sale and not remarketed. The maturity of liquidity protected preferred shares will be deemed to be the date on which the underlying principal amount may be recovered or the next dividend rate adjustment date consistent with applicable regulatory requirements.
|
n
|
Variable-rate demand notes (VRDNs)
provide the right to sell the security at face value on either that day or within the rate-reset
|
|
period. The interest rate is adjusted at a stipulated daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or other specified time interval to reflect current market conditions. VRDNs will normally trade as if the maturity is the earlier put date, even though stated maturity is longer. The Virginia Money Market Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in VRDNs.
|
n
|
Distributions of net realized capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) are taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of time you have held your Fund shares.
|
n
|
Distributions of both short-term and long-term net realized capital gains are taxable whether received in cash or reinvested
in additional shares.

Rated or subject to a guarantee that is rated in one of the two highest categories for short-term securities by at least two of the Fund’s designated Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs), or by one designated NRSRO if the

n
|
Primarily investing in securities considered at least investment grade at the time of purchase. Nevertheless, even investment-grade securities are subject to some credit risk. In addition, the ratings of securities are the rating agencies’ estimates of the credit quality of the securities. The ratings may not take into account every risk related to whether interest or principal will be repaid on a timely basis.

|
When evaluating potential investments for the Funds, our credit analysts also independently assess credit risk and its impact on the Funds’ portfolios.
|
n
|
Diversifying the Funds’ portfolios by investing in securities of a large number of unrelated issuers, which reduces a Fund’s exposure to the risks of an investment in the securities of any one issuer or group of issuers. We invest in many securities with slightly different risk characteristics and across different economic sectors and geographic regions. If a random credit event should occur, such as a default, a Fund would suffer a much smaller loss than if the Fund were concentrated in relatively large holdings with highly correlated risks.

|
If interest rates increase
,
the yield of each Fund may increase. In addition, the market value of the Virginia Bond Fund’s securities will likely decline, adversely affecting the Fund’s NAV and total return.
|
n
|
If interest rates decrease
,
the yield of each Fund may decrease. In addition, the market value of the Virginia Bond Fund’s securities may increase, which would likely increase the Fund’s NAV and total return.
|
n
|
Intermediate- and long-term municipal bonds have the greatest call risk, because most municipal bonds may not be called until after 10 years from the date of issue. The period of “call protection” may be longer or shorter than 10 years, but regardless, bonds purchased closest to the date of issue will have the most call protection. Typically, bonds with original maturities of 10 years or less are not callable.
|
n
|
Although investors certainly appreciate the rise in bond prices when interest rates drop, falling interest rates create the environment necessary to “call” the higher-yielding bonds from your Fund. When bonds are called, a Fund is affected in several ways. Most likely, we must reinvest the bond-call proceeds at lower interest rates. The Fund’s income may drop as a result. The Fund also may realize a taxable capital gain.

Aaa
|
Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality, with minimal credit risk.
|
Aa
|
Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.
|
A
|
Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.
|
Baa
|
Obligations rated Baa are subject to moderate credit risk. They are considered medium-grade and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.
|
Ba
|
Obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk.
|
B
|
Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high risk.
|
Caa
|
Obligations rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.
|
Ca
|
Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.
|
C
|
Obligations rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.
|
AAA
|
An obligation rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is EXTREMELY STRONG.
|
AA
|
An obligation rated AA differs from the highest rated issues only in small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is VERY STRONG.
|
A
|
An obligation rated A is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still STRONG.
|
BBB
|
An obligation rated BBB exhibits ADEQUATE capacity to pay interest and repay principal. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
BB
|
An obligation rated BB is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
B
|
An obligation rated B is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated BB, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
CCC
|
An obligation rated CCC is currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
CC
|
An obligation rated C is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.
|
C
|
An obligation rated C may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or
similar action has been taken, but payments on this obligation are being continued.
|
D
|
An obligation rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.
|
AAA
|
Highest credit quality
. “AAA” ratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in case of exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
|
AA
|
Very high credit quality
. “AA” ratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk. They indicate very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
|
A
|
High credit quality
. “A” ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.
|
|
BBB
|
Good credit quality
. “BBB” ratings indicate that there is currently a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in
circumstances and in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the lowest
investment-grade category.
|
BB
|
Speculative.
“BB” ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over time; however, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not investment grade.
|
B
|
Highly speculative.
“B” ratings indicate that significant credit risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is contingent upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.
|
CCC
|
High default risk.
“CCC” ratings indicate default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitment is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable business or economic developments.
|
CC
|
High default risk.
A “CC” rating indicates that default of some kind appears probable.
|
C
|
High default risk.
“C” ratings signal imminent default.
|
DDD
|
Default.
The ratings of obligations in this category are based on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a reorganization or liquidation of the obligor.
While expected recovery values are highly speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the following serve as general guidelines. “DDD” obligations have the highest potential for recovery, around 90% - 100% of outstanding amounts and accrued interest.
|
DD
|
Default.
“DD” indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%.
|
D
|
Default.
“D” indicates the lowest recovery potential,
i.e
. below 50%.
|
AAA
|
Bonds rated “AAA” are of the highest credit quality, with exceptionally strong protection for the timely repayment of principal and interest. Earnings are considered stable, the structure of the industry in which the entity operates is strong, and the outlook for future profitability is favorable. There are few qualifying factors present that would detract from the performance of the entity, the strength of liquidity and coverage ratios is unquestioned, and the entity has established a creditable track record of superior performance. Given the extremely tough definition that Dominion has established for this category, few entities are able to achieve a AAA rating.
|
AA
|
Bonds rated “AA” are of superior credit quality, and protection of interest and principal is considered high. In many cases, they differ from bonds rated AAA only to a small degree. Given the extremely tough definition that Dominion has for the AAA category (which few companies are able to achieve), entities rated AA are also considered to be strong credits, which typically exemplify above-average strength in key areas of consideration and are unlikely to be significantly affected by reasonably foreseeable events.
|
A
|
Bonds rated “A” are of satisfactory credit quality. Protection of interest and principal is still substantial, but the degree of strength is less than with AA rated entities. While a respectable rating, entities in the “A” category are considered to be more susceptible to adverse economic conditions and have greater cyclical tendencies than higher rated companies.
|
BBB
|
Bonds rated “BBB” are of adequate credit quality. Protection of interest and principal is considered adequate, but the entity is more susceptible to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions, or there may be other adversities present that reduce the strength of the entity and its rated securities.
|
BB
|
Bonds rated “BB” are defined to be speculative, where the degree of protection afforded interest and principal is uncertain, particularly during periods of economic recession. Entities in the BB area typically have limited access to capital markets and additional liquidity support and, in many cases, small size or lack of competitive strength may be additional negative considerations.
|
B
|
Bonds rated “B” are highly speculative and there is a reasonably high level of uncertainty which exists as to the ability of the entity to pay interest and principal on a continuing basis in the future, especially in
periods of economic recession or industry adversity.
|
CCC/
CC/C
|
Bonds rated in any of these categories are very highly speculative and are in danger of default of interest and principal. The degree of adverse elements present is more severe than bonds rated “B.” Bonds rated below “B” often have characteristics, which, if not remedied, may lead to default. In practice, there is little difference between the “C” to “CCC” categories, with “CC” and “C” normally used to lower ranking debt of companies where the senior debt is rated in the “CCC” to “B” range.
|
D
|
This category indicates Bonds in default of either interest or principal.
|
aaa
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an exceptional ability to meet the terms of the obligation.
|
aa
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, a very strong ability to meet the terms of the obligation.
|
a
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, a strong ability to meet the terms of the
obligation.
|
bbb
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an adequate ability to meet the terms of the obligation; however, is more susceptible to changes in economic or other conditions.
|
bb
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, speculative credit characteristics generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and vulnerability to economic changes.
|
b
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, very speculative credit characteristics generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and extreme vulnerability to economic changes.
|
ccc,
cc, c
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, extremely speculative credit characteristics, generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and/or limited ability to withstand adverse changes in economic or other conditions.
|
d
|
In default on payment of principal, interest or other terms and conditions. The rating also is utilized when a bankruptcy petition, or similar action, has been filed.
|
MIG-1
|
This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.
|
MIG-2
|
This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.
|
MIG-3
|
This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.
|
SG
|
This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.
|
NP
|
Not Prime. Issues do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.
|
Prime-1
|
Issuers rated Prime-1 (or supporting institutions) have a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. Prime-1 repayment ability will often be evidenced by many of the following characteristics:
|
• Leading market positions in well-established industries.
|
|
• High rates of return on funds employed.
|
|
• Conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset protection.
|
|
• Broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash generation.
|
|
• Well-established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.
|
|
Prime-2
|
Issuers rated Prime-2 (or supporting institutions) have a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
|
Prime-3
|
Issuers rated Prime-3 have an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.
|
SP-1
|
Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation.
|
SP-2
|
Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and
economic changes over the term of the notes.
|
A-1
|
This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign designation.
|
A-2
|
Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1.
|
A-3
|
Issues carrying this designation have an adequate capacity for timely payment. They are, however, more vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher designations.
|
B
|
Issues rated “B” are regarded as having speculative capacity for timely payment.
|
C
|
This rating is assigned to short-term debt obligations with a doubtful capacity for payment.
|
D
|
Debt rated “D” is in payment default. The “D” rating category is used when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the due date, even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P’s believes that such payments will be made during such grace period.
|
F1
|
Highest credit quality.
Indicates the strongest capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added “+” to denote any exceptionally strong credit features.
|
F2
|
Good credit quality.
A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case of the higher ratings.
|
F3
|
Fair credit quality.
The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate; however, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction to non-investment grade.
|
B
|
Speculative.
Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
|
C
|
High default risk.
Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.
|
D
|
Default.
Denotes actual or imminent payment default.
|
R-1 (high)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (high)” is of the highest credit quality, and indicates an entity that possesses unquestioned ability to repay current liabilities as they fall due. Entities rated in this category normally maintain strong liquidity positions, conservative debt levels and profitability, which is both stable and above average. Companies achieving an “R-1 (high)” rating are normally leaders in structurally sound industry segments with proven track records, sustainable positive future results and no substantial qualifying negative factors. Given the extremely tough definition, which Dominion has established for an “R-1 (high),” few entities are strong enough to achieve this rating.
|
R-1 (middle)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (middle)” is of superior credit quality and, in most cases, ratings in this category differ from “R-1 (high)” credits to only a small degree. Given the extremely tough definition, which Dominion has for the “R-1 (high)” category (which few companies are able to achieve), entities rated “R-1 (middle)” are also considered strong credits which typically exemplify above average strength in key areas of consideration for debt protection.
|
R-1 (low)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (low)” is of satisfactory credit quality. The overall strength and outlook for key liquidity, debt and profitability ratios are not normally as favorable as with higher rating categories, but these considerations are still respectable. Any qualifying negative factors that exist are considered manageable, and the entity is normally of sufficient size to have some influence in its industry.
|
R-2 (high),
R-2 (middle),
R-2 (low)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-2” is of adequate credit quality and within the three subset grades, debt protection ranges from having reasonable ability for timely repayment to a level, which is considered only just adequate. The liquidity and debt ratios of entities in the “R-2” classification are not as strong as those in the “R-1” category, and the past and future trend may suggest some risk of maintaining the strength of key ratios in these areas. Alternative sources of liquidity
|
support are considered satisfactory; however, even the strongest liquidity support will not improve the commercial paper rating of the issuer. The size of the entity may restrict its flexibility, and its relative position in the industry is not typically as strong as an “R-1 credit.” Profitability trends, past and future, may be less favorable, earnings not as stable, and there are often negative qualifying factors present, which could also make the entity more vulnerable to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions. |
R-3 (high),
R-3 (middle),
R-3 (low)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-3” is speculative, and within the three subset grades, the capacity for timely payment ranges from mildly speculative to doubtful. “R-3” credits tend to have weak liquidity and debt ratios, and the future trend of these ratios is also unclear. Due to its speculative nature, companies with “R-3” ratings would normally have very limited access to alternative sources of liquidity. Earnings would typically be very unstable, and the level of overall profitability of the entity is also likely to be low. The industry environment may be weak, and strong negative qualifying factors are also likely to be present.
|
AMB-1+
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, the strongest ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
|
AMB-1
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an outstanding ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
|
AMB-2
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, a satisfactory ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
|
AMB-3
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an adequate ability to repay short-term debt obligations; however, adverse economic conditions will likely lead to a reduced capacity to meet its financial commitments on shorter debt obligations.
|
AMB-4
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, speculative credit characteristics and is vulnerable to economic or other external changes, which could have a marked impact on the company’s ability to meet its commitments on short-term debt obligations.
|
d
|
In default on payment of principal, interest or other terms and conditions. The rating is also utilized when a bankruptcy petition, or similar action, has been filed.

|
Aaa
|
Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality, with minimal credit risk.
|
Aa
|
Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.
|
A
|
Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.
|
Baa
|
Obligations rated Baa are subject to moderate credit risk. They are considered medium-grade and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.
|
Ba
|
Obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk.
|
B
|
Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high risk.
|
Caa
|
Obligations rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.
|
Ca
|
Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.
|
C
|
Obligations rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.
|
AAA
|
An obligation rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is EXTREMELY STRONG.
|
AA
|
An obligation rated AA differs from the highest rated issues only in small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is VERY STRONG.
|
A
|
An obligation rated A is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still STRONG.
|
BBB
|
An obligation rated BBB exhibits ADEQUATE capacity to pay interest and repay principal. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
BB
|
An obligation rated BB is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
B
|
An obligation rated B is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated BB, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
CCC
|
An obligation rated CCC is currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
CC
|
An obligation rated C is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.
|
C
|
An obligation rated C may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or
similar action has been taken, but payments on this obligation are being continued.
|
D
|
An obligation rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.
|
AAA
|
Highest credit quality
. “AAA” ratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in case of exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
|
AA
|
Very high credit quality
. “AA” ratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk. They indicate very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
|
A
|
High credit quality
. “A” ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.
|
BBB
|
Good credit quality
. “BBB” ratings indicate that there is currently a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the lowest investment-grade category.
|
BB
|
Speculative.
“BB” ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over time; however, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not investment grade.
|
B
|
Highly speculative.
“B” ratings indicate that significant credit risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is contingent upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.
|
CCC
|
High default risk.
“CCC” ratings indicate default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitment is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable business or economic developments.
|
CC
|
High default risk.
A “CC” rating indicates that default of some kind appears probable.
|
C
|
High default risk.
“C” ratings signal imminent default.
|
DDD
|
Default.
The ratings of obligations in this category are based on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a reorganization or liquidation of the obligor.
While expected recovery values are highly speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the following serve as general guidelines. “DDD” obligations have the highest potential for recovery, around 90% - 100% of outstanding amounts and accrued interest.
|
DD
|
Default.
“DD” indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%.
|
D
|
Default.
“D” indicates the lowest recovery potential,
i.e
. below 50%.
|
AAA
|
Bonds rated “AAA” are of the highest credit quality, with exceptionally strong protection for the timely repayment of principal and interest. Earnings are considered stable, the structure of the industry in which the entity operates is strong, and the outlook for future profitability is favorable. There are few qualifying factors present that would detract from the performance of the entity, the strength of liquidity and coverage ratios is unquestioned, and the entity has established a creditable track record of superior performance. Given the extremely tough definition that Dominion has established for this category, few entities are able to achieve a AAA rating.
|
AA
|
Bonds rated “AA” are of superior credit quality, and protection of interest and principal is considered high. In many cases, they differ from bonds rated AAA only to a small degree. Given the extremely tough definition that Dominion has for the AAA category (which few companies are able to achieve), entities rated AA are also considered to be strong credits, which typically exemplify above-average strength in key areas of consideration and are unlikely to be significantly affected by reasonably foreseeable events.
|
A
|
Bonds rated “A” are of satisfactory credit quality. Protection of interest and principal is still substantial, but the degree of strength is less than with AA rated entities. While a respectable rating, entities in the “A” category are considered to be more susceptible to adverse economic conditions and have greater cyclical tendencies than higher rated companies.
|
BBB
|
Bonds rated “BBB” are of adequate credit quality. Protection of interest and principal is considered adequate, but the entity is more susceptible to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions, or there may be other adversities present that reduce the strength of the entity and its rated securities.
|
BB
|
Bonds rated “BB” are defined to be speculative, where the degree of protection afforded interest and principal is uncertain, particularly during periods of economic recession. Entities in the BB area typically have limited access to capital markets and additional liquidity support and, in many cases, small size or lack of competitive strength may be additional negative considerations.
|
B
|
Bonds rated “B” are highly speculative and there is a reasonably high level of uncertainty which exists as to the ability of the entity to pay interest and principal on a continuing basis in the future, especially in periods of economic recession or industry adversity.
|
CCC/
CC/C
|
Bonds rated in any of these categories are very highly speculative and are in danger of default of interest and principal. The degree of adverse elements present is more severe than bonds rated “B.” Bonds rated below “B” often have characteristics, which, if not remedied, may lead to default. In practice, there is little difference between the “C” to “CCC” categories, with “CC” and “C” normally used to lower ranking debt of companies where the senior debt is rated in the “CCC” to “B” range.
|
bbb
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an adequate ability to meet the terms of the obligation; however, is more susceptible to changes in economic or other conditions.
|
bb
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, speculative credit characteristics generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and vulnerability to economic changes.
|
b
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, very speculative credit characteristics generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and extreme vulnerability to economic changes.
|
ccc,
cc,c
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, extremely speculative credit characteristics, generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and/or limited ability to withstand adverse changes in economic or other conditions.
|
d
|
In default on payment of principal, interest or other terms and conditions. The rating also is utilized when a bankruptcy petition, or similar action, has been filed.
|
|
2. Short-Term Debt Ratings:
|
MIG-1
|
This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.
|
MIG-2
|
This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.
|
MIG-3
|
This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.
|
SG
|
This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.
|
Prime-1
|
Issuers rated Prime-1 (or supporting institutions) have a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. Prime-1 repayment ability will often be evidenced by many of the following characteristics:
|
Prime-2
|
Issuers rated Prime-2 (or supporting institutions) have a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
|
Prime-3
|
Issuers rated Prime-3 have an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.
|
SP-1
|
Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation.
|
SP-2
|
Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.
|
A-1
|
This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign designation.
|
A-2
|
Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1.
|
A-3
|
Issues carrying this designation have an adequate capacity for timely payment. They are, however, more vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher designations.
|
B
|
Issues rated “B” are regarded as having speculative capacity for timely payment.
|
C
|
This rating is assigned to short-term debt obligations with a doubtful capacity for payment.
|
D
|
Debt rated “D” is in payment default. The “D” rating category is used when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the due date, even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period.
|
F1
|
Highest credit quality.
Indicates the strongest capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added “+” to denote any exceptionally strong credit features.
|
F2
|
Good credit quality.
A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case of the higher ratings.
|
F3
|
Fair credit quality.
The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate; however, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction to non-investment grade.
|
B
|
Speculative.
Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
|
C
|
High default risk.
Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.
|
D
|
Default.
Denotes actual or imminent payment default.
|
R-1(high)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (high)” is of the highest credit quality, and indicates an entity that possesses unquestioned ability to repay current liabilities as they fall due. Entities rated in this category normally maintain strong liquidity positions, conservative debt levels and profitability, which is both stable and above average.
|
Companies achieving an “R-1 (high)” rating are normally leaders in structurally sound industry segments with proven track records, sustainable positive future results and no substantial qualifying negative factors. Given the extremely tough definition, which Dominion has established for an “R-1 (high),” few entities are strong enough to achieve this rating. |
R-1 (middle)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (middle)” is of superior credit quality and, in most cases, ratings in this category differ from “R-1 (high)” credits to only a small degree. Given the extremely tough definition, which Dominion has for the “R-1 (high)” category (which few companies are able to achieve), entities rated “R-1 (middle)” are also considered strong credits which typically exemplify above average strength in key areas of consideration for debt protection.
|
R-1 (low)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (low)” is of satisfactory credit quality. The overall strength and outlook for key liquidity, debt and profitability ratios are not normally as favorable as with higher rating categories, but these considerations are still respectable. Any qualifying negative factors that exist are considered manageable, and the entity is normally of sufficient size to have some influence in its industry.
|
R-2 (high),
R-2 (middle),
R-2 (low) |
Short-term debt rated “R-2” is of adequate credit quality and within the three subset grades, debt protection ranges from having reasonable ability for timely repayment to a level, which is considered only just adequate. The liquidity and debt ratios of entities in the “R-2” classification are not as strong as those in the “R-1” category, and the past and future trend may suggest some risk of maintaining the strength of key ratios in these areas. Alternative sources of liquidity support are considered satisfactory; however, even the strongest liquidity support will not improve the commercial paper rating of the issuer. The size of the entity may restrict its flexibility, and its relative position in the industry is not typically as strong as an “R-1 credit.” Profitability trends, past and future, may be less favorable, earnings not as stable, and there are often negative qualifying factors present, which could also make the entity more vulnerable to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
|
R-3 (high),
R-3 (middle),
R-3 (low) |
Short-term debt rated “R-3” is speculative, and within the three subset grades, the capacity for timely payment ranges from mildly speculative to doubtful. “R-3” credits tend to have weak liquidity and debt ratios, and the future trend of these ratios is also unclear. Due to its speculative nature, companies with “R-3” ratings would normally have very limited access to alternative sources of liquidity. Earnings would typically be very unstable, and the level of overall profitability of the entity is also likely to be low. The industry environment may be weak, and strong negative qualifying factors are also likely to be present.
|
AMB-1+
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, the strongest ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
|
AMB-1
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an outstanding ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
|
AMB-2
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, a satisfactory ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
|
AMB-3
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an adequate ability to repay short-term debt obligations; however, adverse economic conditions will likely lead to a reduced capacity to meet its financial commitments on shorter debt obligations.
|
AMB-4
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, speculative credit characteristics and is vulnerable to economic or other external changes, which could have a marked impact on the company’s ability to meet its commitments on short-term debt obligations.
|
d
|
In default on payment of principal, interest or other terms and conditions. The rating is also utilized when a bankruptcy petition, or similar action, has been filed.

|
Aaa
|
Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality, with minimal credit risk.
|
Aa
|
Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.
|
A
|
Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.
|
Baa
|
Obligations rated Baa are subject to moderate credit risk. They are considered medium-grade and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.
|
Ba
|
Obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk.
|
B
|
Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high risk.
|
Caa
|
Obligations rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.
|
Ca
|
Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.
|
C
|
Obligations rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.
|
AAA
|
An obligation rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is EXTREMELY STRONG.
|
AA
|
An obligation rated AA differs from the highest rated issues only in small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is VERY STRONG.
|
A
|
An obligation rated A is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still STRONG.
|
BBB
|
An obligation rated BBB exhibits ADEQUATE capacity to pay interest and repay principal. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
BB
|
An obligation rated BB is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
B
|
An obligation rated B is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated BB, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
CCC
|
An obligation rated CCC is currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
CC
|
An obligation rated C is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.
|
C
|
An obligation rated C may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or similar action has been taken, but payments on this obligation are being continued.
|
D
|
An obligation rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.
|
AAA
|
Highest credit quality
. “AAA” ratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in case of exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
|
AA
|
Very high credit quality
. “AA” ratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk. They indicate very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
|
A
|
High credit quality
. “A” ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.
|
BBB
|
Good credit quality
. “BBB” ratings indicate that there is currently a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the lowest investment-grade category.
|
BB
|
Speculative.
“BB” ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over time; however, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not investment grade.
|
B
|
Highly speculative.
“B” ratings indicate that significant credit risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is contingent upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.
|
CCC
|
High default risk.
“CCC” ratings indicate default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitment is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable business or economic developments.
|
CC
|
High default risk.
A “CC” rating indicates that default of some kind appears probable.
|
C
|
High default risk.
“C” ratings signal imminent default.
|
DDD
|
Default.
The ratings of obligations in this category are based on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a reorganization or liquidation of the obligor.
While expected recovery values are highly speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the following serve as general guidelines. “DDD” obligations have the highest potential for recovery, around 90% - 100% of outstanding amounts and accrued interest.
|
DD
|
Default.
“DD” indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%.
|
D
|
Default.
“D” indicates the lowest recovery potential,
i.e.
below 50%.
|
AAA
|
Bonds rated “AAA” are of the highest credit quality, with exceptionally strong protection for the timely repayment of principal and interest. Earnings are considered stable, the structure of the industry in which the entity operates is strong, and the outlook for future profitability is favorable. There are few qualifying factors present that would detract from the performance of the entity, the strength of liquidity and coverage ratios is unquestioned, and the entity has established a creditable track record of superior performance. Given the extremely tough definition that Dominion has established for this category, few entities are able to achieve a AAA rating.
|
AA
|
Bonds rated “AA” are of superior credit quality, and protection of interest and principal is considered high. In many cases, they differ from bonds rated AAA only to a small degree. Given the extremely tough definition that Dominion has for the AAA category (which few companies are able to achieve), entities rated AA are also considered to be strong credits, which typically exemplify above-average strength in key areas of consideration and are unlikely to be significantly affected by reasonably foreseeable events.
|
A
|
Bonds rated “A” are of satisfactory credit quality. Protection of interest and principal is still substantial, but the degree of strength is less than with AA rated entities. While a respectable rating, entities in the “A” category are considered to be more susceptible to adverse economic conditions and have greater cyclical tendencies than higher rated companies.
|
BBB
|
Bonds rated “BBB” are of adequate credit quality. Protection of interest and principal is considered adequate, but the entity is more susceptible to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions, or there may be other adversities present that reduce the strength of the entity and its rated securities.
|
BB
|
Bonds rated “BB” are defined to be speculative, where the degree of protection afforded interest and principal is uncertain, particularly during periods of economic recession. Entities in the BB area typically have limited access to capital markets and additional liquidity support and, in many cases, small size or lack of competitive strength may be additional negative considerations.
|
B
|
Bonds rated “B” are highly speculative and there is a reasonably high level of uncertainty which exists as to the ability of the entity to pay interest and principal on a continuing basis in the future, especially in periods of economic recession or industry adversity.
|
CC/C
|
Bonds rated in any of these categories are very highly speculative and are in danger of default of interest and principal. The degree of adverse elements present is more severe than bonds rated “B.” Bonds rated below “B” often have characteristics, which, if not remedied, may lead to default. In practice, there is little difference between the “C” to “CCC” categories, with “CC” and “C” normally used to lower ranking debt of companies where the senior debt is rated in the “CCC” to “B” range.
|
bbb
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an adequate ability to meet the terms of the obligation; however, is more susceptible to changes in economic or other conditions.
|
bb
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, speculative credit characteristics generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and vulnerability to economic changes.
|
b
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, very speculative credit characteristics generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and extreme vulnerability to economic changes.
|
ccc,
cc, c
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, extremely speculative credit characteristics, generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and/or limited ability to withstand adverse changes in economic or other conditions.
|
d
|
In default on payment of principal, interest or other terms and conditions. The rating also is utilized when a bankruptcy petition, or similar action, has been filed.
|
|
2. Short-Term Debt Ratings:
|
MIG-1
|
This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.
|
MIG-2
|
This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.
|
MIG-3
|
This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.
|
SG
|
This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.
|
Prime-1
|
Issuers rated Prime-1 (or supporting institutions) have a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. Prime-1 repayment ability will often be evidenced by many of the following characteristics:
|
Prime-2
|
Issuers rated Prime-2 (or supporting institutions) have a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
|
Prime-3
|
Issuers rated Prime-3 have an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.
|
SP-1
|
Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation.
|
SP-2
|
Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.
|
A-1
|
This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign designation.
|
A-2
|
Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1.
|
A-3
|
Issues carrying this designation have an adequate capacity for timely payment. They are, however, more vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher designations.
|
B
|
Issues rated “B” are regarded as having speculative capacity for timely payment.
|
C
|
This rating is assigned to short-term debt obligations with a doubtful capacity for payment.
|
D
|
Debt rated “D” is in payment default. The “D” rating category is used when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the due date, even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period.
|
F1
|
Highest credit quality.
Indicates the strongest capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added “+” to denote any exceptionally strong credit features.
|
F2
|
Good credit quality.
A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case of the higher ratings.
|
F3
|
Fair credit quality.
The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate; however, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction to non-investment grade.
|
B
|
Speculative.
Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
|
C
|
High default risk.
Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.
|
D
|
Default.
Denotes actual or imminent payment default.
|
R-1 (high)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (high)” is of the highest credit quality, and indicates an entity that possesses unquestioned ability to repay current liabilities as they fall due. Entities rated in this category normally maintain strong liquidity positions, conservative debt levels and profitability, which is both stable and above average. Companies achieving an “R-1 (high)” rating are normally leaders in structurally sound industry segments with proven track records, sustainable positive future results and no substantial qualifying negative factors. Given the extremely tough definition, which Dominion has established for an “R-1 (high),” few entities are strong enough to achieve this rating.
|
R-1 (middle)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (middle)” is of superior credit quality and, in most cases, ratings in this category differ from “R-1 (high)” credits to only a small degree. Given the extremely tough definition, which Dominion has for the “R-1 (high)” category (which few companies are able to achieve), entities rated “R-1 (middle)” are also considered strong credits which typically exemplify above average strength in key areas of consideration for debt protection.
|
R-1 (low)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (low)” is of satisfactory credit quality. The overall strength and outlook for key liquidity, debt and profitability ratios are not normally as favorable as with higher rating categories, but these considerations are still respectable. Any qualifying negative factors that exist are considered manageable, and the entity is normally of sufficient size to have some influence in its industry.
|
R-2 (high),
R-2 (middle),
R-2 (low) |
Short-term debt rated “R-2” is of adequate credit quality and within the three subset grades, debt protection ranges from having reasonable ability for timely repayment to a level, which is considered only just adequate. The liquidity and debt ratios of entities in the “R-2” classification are not as strong as those in the “R-1” category, and the past and future trend may suggest some risk of maintaining the strength of key ratios in these areas. Alternative sources of liquidity support are considered satisfactory; however, even the strongest liquidity support will not improve the commercial paper rating of the issuer. The size of the entity may restrict its flexibility, and its relative position in the industry is not typically as strong as an “R-1 credit.” Profitability trends, past and future, may be less favorable, earnings not as stable, and there are often negative qualifying factors present, which could also make the entity more vulnerable to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
|
R-3 (high),
R-3 (middle),
R-3 (low) |
Short-term debt rated “R-3” is speculative, and within the three subset grades, the capacity for timely payment ranges from mildly speculative to doubtful. “R-3” credits tend to have weak liquidity and debt ratios, and the future trend of these ratios is also unclear. Due to its speculative nature, companies with “R-3” ratings would normally have very limited access to alternative sources of liquidity. Earnings would typically be very unstable, and the level of overall profitability of the entity is also likely to be low. The industry environment may be weak, and strong negative qualifying factors are also likely to be present.
|
AMB-1+
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, the strongest ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
|
AMB-1
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an outstanding ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
|
AMB-2
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, a satisfactory ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
|
AMB-3
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an adequate ability to repay short-term debt obligations; however, adverse economic conditions will likely lead to a reduced capacity to meet its financial commitments on shorter debt obligations.
|
AMB-4
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, speculative credit characteristics and is vulnerable to economic or other external changes, which could have a marked impact on the company’s ability to meet its commitments on short-term debt obligations.
|
d
|
In default on payment of principal, interest or other terms and conditions. The rating is also utilized when a bankruptcy petition, or similar action, has been filed.

Aaa
|
Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality, with minimal credit risk.
|
Aa
|
Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.
|
A
|
Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.
|
Baa
|
Obligations rated Baa are subject to moderate credit risk. They are considered medium-grade and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.
|
Ba
|
Obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk.
|
B
|
Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high risk.
|
Caa
|
Obligations rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.
|
Ca
|
Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.
|
C
|
Obligations rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.
|
AAA
|
An obligation rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is EXTREMELY STRONG.
|
AA
|
An obligation rated AA differs from the highest rated issues only in small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is VERY STRONG.
|
A
|
An obligation rated A is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still STRONG.
|
BBB
|
An obligation rated BBB exhibits ADEQUATE capacity to pay interest and repay principal. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
BB
|
An obligation rated BB is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
B
|
An obligation rated B is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated BB, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
CCC
|
An obligation rated CCC is currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
CC
|
An obligation rated C is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.
|
C
|
An obligation rated C may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or similar action has been taken, but payments on this obligation are being continued.
|
D
|
An obligation rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.
|
AAA
|
Highest credit quality
. “AAA” ratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in case of exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
|
AA
|
Very high credit quality.
“AA” ratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk. They indicate very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
|
A
|
High credit quality
. “A” ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.
|
BBB
|
Good credit quality
. “BBB” ratings indicate that there is currently a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the lowest investment-grade category.
|
BB
|
Speculative.
“BB” ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over time; however, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not investment grade.
|
B
|
Highly speculative.
“B” ratings indicate that significant credit risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is contingent upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.
|
CCC
|
High default risk.
“CCC” ratings indicate default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitment is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable business or economic developments.
|
CC
|
High default risk.
A “CC” rating indicates that default of some kind appears probable.
|
C
|
High default risk.
“C” ratings signal imminent default.
|
DDD
|
Default.
The ratings of obligations in this category are based on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a reorganization or liquidation of the obligor.
While expected recovery values are highly speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the following serve as general guidelines. “DDD” obligations have the highest potential for recovery, around 90% - 100% of outstanding amounts and accrued interest.
|
DD
|
Default.
“DD” indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%.
|
D
|
Default.
“D” indicates the lowest recovery potential,
i.e
. below 50%.
|
AAA
|
Bonds rated “AAA” are of the highest credit quality, with exceptionally strong protection for the timely repayment of principal and interest. Earnings are considered stable, the structure of the industry in which the entity operates is strong, and the outlook for future profitability is favorable. There are few qualifying factors present that would detract from the performance of the entity, the strength of liquidity and coverage ratios is unquestioned, and the entity has established a creditable track record of superior performance. Given the extremely tough definition that Dominion has established for this category, few entities are able to achieve a AAA rating.
|
AA
|
Bonds rated “AA” are of superior credit quality, and protection of interest and principal is considered high. In many cases, they differ from bonds rated AAA only to a small degree. Given the extremely tough definition that Dominion has for the AAA category (which few companies are able to achieve), entities rated AA are also considered to be strong credits, which typically exemplify above-average strength in key areas of consideration and are unlikely to be significantly affected by reasonably foreseeable events.
|
A
|
Bonds rated “A” are of satisfactory credit quality. Protection of interest and principal is still substantial, but the degree of strength is less than with AA rated entities. While a respectable rating, entities in the “A” category are considered to be more susceptible to adverse economic conditions and have greater cyclical tendencies than higher rated companies.
|
BBB
|
Bonds rated “BBB” are of adequate credit quality. Protection of interest and principal is considered adequate, but the entity is more susceptible to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions, or there may be other adversities present that reduce the strength of the entity and its rated securities.
|
BB
|
Bonds rated “BB” are defined to be speculative, where the degree of protection afforded interest and principal is uncertain, particularly during periods of economic recession. Entities in the BB area typically have limited access to capital markets and additional liquidity support and, in many cases, small size or lack of competitive strength may be additional negative considerations.
|
B
|
Bonds rated “B” are highly speculative and there is a reasonably high level of uncertainty which exists as to the ability of the entity to pay interest and principal on a continuing basis in the future, especially in periods of economic recession or industry adversity.
|
CCC/
CC/C |
Bonds rated in any of these categories are very highly speculative and are in danger of default of interest and principal. The degree of adverse elements present is more severe than bonds rated “B.” Bonds rated below “B” often have characteristics, which, if not remedied, may lead to default. In practice, there is little difference between the “C” to “CCC” categories, with “CC” and “C” normally used to lower ranking debt of companies where the senior debt is rated in the “CCC” to “B” range.
|
bb
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, speculative credit characteristics generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and vulnerability to economic changes.
|
b
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, very speculative credit characteristics generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and extreme vulnerability to economic changes.
|
ccc,
|
|
cc, c
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, extremely speculative credit characteristics, generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and/or limited ability to withstand adverse changes in economic or other conditions.
|
d
|
In default on payment of principal, interest or other terms and conditions. The rating also is utilized when a bankruptcy petition, or similar action, has been filed.
|
MIG-1
|
This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.
|
MIG-2
|
This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.
|
MIG-3
|
This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.
|
SG
|
This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.
|
Prime-1
|
Issuers rated Prime-1 (or supporting institutions) have a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. Prime-1 repayment ability will often be evidenced by many of the following characteristics:
|
Prime-2
|
Issuers rated Prime-2 (or supporting institutions) have a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
|
Prime-3
|
Issuers rated Prime-3 have an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.
|
SP-1
|
Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation.
|
SP-2
|
Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.
|
|
A-1
|
This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign designation.
|
|
A-2
|
Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1.
|
A-3
|
Issues carrying this designation have an adequate capacity for timely payment. They are, however, more vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher designations.
|
B
|
Issues rated “B” are regarded as having speculative capacity for timely payment.
|
C
|
This rating is assigned to short-term debt obligations with a doubtful capacity for payment.
|
D
|
Debt rated “D” is in payment default. The “D” rating category is used when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the due date, even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period.
|
F1
|
Highest credit quality.
Indicates the strongest capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added “+” to denote any exceptionally strong credit features.
|
F2
|
Good credit quality.
A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case of the higher ratings.
|
F3
|
Fair credit quality.
The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate; however, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction to non-investment grade.
|
|
B
|
Speculative.
Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
|
|
C
|
High default risk.
Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.
|
|
D
|
Default.
Denotes actual or imminent payment default.
|
R-1 (high)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (high)” is of the highest credit quality, and indicates an entity that possesses unquestioned ability to repay current liabilities as they fall due. Entities rated in this category normally maintain strong liquidity positions, conservative debt levels and profitability, which is both stable and above average. Companies achieving an “R-1 (high)” rating are normally leaders in structurally sound industry segments with proven track records, sustainable positive future results and no substantial qualifying negative factors. Given the extremely tough definition, which Dominion has established for an “R-1 (high),” few entities are strong enough to achieve this rating.
|
R-1 (middle)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (middle)” is of superior credit quality and, in most cases, ratings in this category differ from “R-1 (high)” credits to only a small degree. Given the extremely tough definition, which Dominion has for the “R-1 (high)” category (which few companies are able to achieve), entities rated “R-1 (middle)” are also considered strong credits which typically exemplify above average strength in key areas of consideration for debt protection.
|
R-1 (low)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (low)” is of satisfactory credit quality. The overall strength and outlook for key liquidity, debt and profitability ratios are not normally as favorable as with higher rating categories, but these considerations are still respectable. Any qualifying negative factors that exist are considered manageable, and the entity is normally of sufficient size to have some influence in its industry.
|
R-2 (high),
R-2 (middle),
R-2 (low) |
Short-term debt rated “R-2” is of adequate credit quality and within the three subset grades, debt protection ranges from having reasonable ability for timely repayment to a level, which is considered only just adequate. The liquidity and debt ratios of entities in the “R-2” classification are not as strong as those in the “R-1” category, and the past and future trend may suggest some risk of maintaining the strength of key ratios in these areas. Alternative sources of liquidity support are considered satisfactory; however, even the strongest liquidity support will not improve the commercial paper rating of the issuer. The size of the entity may restrict its flexibility, and its relative position in the industry is not typically as strong as an “R-1 credit.” Profitability trends, past and future, may be less favorable, earnings not as stable, and there are often negative qualifying factors present, which could also make the entity more vulnerable to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
|
R-3 (middle),
R-3 (low)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-3” is speculative, and within the three subset grades, the capacity for timely payment ranges from mildly speculative to doubtful. “R-3” credits tend to have weak liquidity and debt ratios, and the future trend of these ratios is also unclear. Due to its speculative nature, companies with “R-3” ratings would normally have very limited access to alternative sources of liquidity. Earnings would typically be very unstable, and the level
|
|
of overall profitability of the entity is also likely to be low. The industry environment may be weak, and strong negative qualifying factors are also likely to be present.
|
AMB-1+
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, the strongest ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
|
AMB-1
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an outstanding ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
|
AMB-2
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, a satisfactory ability to repay
short-term debt obligations.
|
|
AMB-3
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an adequate ability to repay
short-term debt obligations; however, adverse economic conditions will likely lead to a reduced capacity to meet its financial commitments on shorter debt obligations.
|
|
AMB-4
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, speculative credit characteristics and is vulnerable to economic or other external changes, which could have a marked impact on the company’s ability to meet its commitments on short-term debt obligations.
|
d
|
In default on payment of principal, interest or other terms and conditions. The rating is also utilized when a bankruptcy petition, or similar action, has been filed.

Aaa
|
Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality, with minimal credit risk.
|
Aa
|
Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.
|
A
|
Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.
|
Baa
|
Obligations rated Baa are subject to moderate credit risk. They are considered medium-grade and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.
|
Ba
|
Obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk.
|
B
|
Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high risk.
|
Caa
|
Obligations rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.
|
Ca
|
Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.
|
C
|
Obligations rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.
|
AAA
|
An obligation rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is EXTREMELY STRONG.
|
AA
|
An obligation rated AA differs from the highest rated issues only in small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is VERY STRONG.
|
A
|
An obligation rated A is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still STRONG.
|
BBB
|
An obligation rated BBB exhibits ADEQUATE capacity to pay interest and repay principal. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
BB
|
An obligation rated BB is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
B
|
An obligation rated B is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated BB, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
CCC
|
An obligation rated CCC is currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
|
CC
|
An obligation rated C is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.
|
C
|
An obligation rated C may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or
|
|
similar action has been taken, but payments on this obligation are being continued.
|
D
|
An obligation rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.
|
AAA
|
Highest credit quality
. “AAA” ratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in case of exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
|
AA
|
Very high credit quality
. “AA” ratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk. They indicate very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
|
A
|
High credit quality
. “A” ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.
|
|
BBB
|
Good credit quality
. “BBB” ratings indicate that there is currently a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the lowest investment-grade category.
|
BB
|
Speculative.
“BB” ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over time; however, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not investment grade.
|
B
|
Highly speculative.
“B” ratings indicate that significant credit risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is contingent upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.
|
CCC
|
High default risk.
“CCC” ratings indicate default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitment is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable business or economic developments.
|
CC
|
High default risk.
A “CC” rating indicates that default of some kind appears probable.
|
C
|
High default risk.
“C” ratings signal imminent default.
|
DDD
|
Default.
The ratings of obligations in this category are based on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a reorganization or liquidation of the obligor.
While expected recovery values are highly speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the following serve as general guidelines. “DDD” obligations have the highest potential for recovery, around 90% - 100% of outstanding amounts and accrued interest.
|
DD
|
Default.
“DD” indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%.
|
D
|
Default.
“D” indicates the lowest recovery potential,
i.e
. below 50%.
|
AAA
|
Bonds rated “AAA” are of the highest credit quality, with exceptionally strong protection for the timely repayment of principal and interest. Earnings are considered stable, the structure of the industry in which the entity operates is strong, and the outlook for future profitability is favorable. There are few qualifying factors present that would detract from the performance of the entity, the strength of liquidity and coverage ratios is unquestioned, and the entity has established a creditable track record of superior performance. Given the extremely tough definition that Dominion has established for this category, few entities are able to achieve a AAA rating.
|
AA
|
Bonds rated “AA” are of superior credit quality, and protection of interest and principal is considered high. In many cases, they differ from bonds rated AAA only to a small degree. Given the extremely tough definition that Dominion has for the AAA category (which few companies are able to achieve), entities rated AA are also considered to be strong credits, which typically exemplify above-average strength in key areas of consideration and are unlikely to be significantly affected by reasonably foreseeable events.
|
A
|
Bonds rated “A” are of satisfactory credit quality. Protection of interest and principal is still substantial, but the degree of strength is less than with AA rated entities. While a respectable rating, entities in the “A” category are considered to be more susceptible to adverse economic conditions and have greater cyclical tendencies than higher rated companies.
|
BBB
|
Bonds rated “BBB” are of adequate credit quality. Protection of interest and principal is considered adequate, but the entity is more susceptible to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions, or there may be other adversities present that reduce the strength of the entity and its rated securities.
|
BB
|
Bonds rated “BB” are defined to be speculative, where the degree of protection afforded interest and principal is uncertain, particularly during periods of economic recession. Entities in the BB area typically have limited access to capital markets and additional liquidity support and, in many cases, small size or lack of competitive strength may be additional negative considerations.
|
B
|
Bonds rated “B” are highly speculative and there is a reasonably high level of uncertainty which exists as to the ability of the entity to pay interest and principal on a continuing basis in the future, especially in periods of economic recession or industry adversity.
|
CCC/
|
|
CC/C
|
Bonds rated in any of these categories are very highly speculative and are in danger of default of interest and principal. The degree of adverse elements present is more severe than bonds rated “B.” Bonds rated below “B” often have characteristics,
|
|
which, if not remedied, may lead to default. In practice, there is little difference between the “C” to “CCC” categories, with “CC” and “C” normally used to lower ranking debt of companies where the senior debt is rated in the “CCC” to “B” range.
|
bbb
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an adequate ability to meet the terms of the obligation; however, is more susceptible to changes in economic or other conditions.
|
bb
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, speculative credit characteristics generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and vulnerability to economic changes.
|
b
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, very speculative credit characteristics generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and extreme vulnerability to economic changes.

Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, extremely speculative credit characteristics, generally due to a modest margin of principal and interest payment protection and/or limited ability to withstand adverse changes in economic or other conditions.
|
d
|
In default on payment of principal, interest or other terms and conditions. The rating also is utilized when a bankruptcy petition, or similar action, has been filed.
|
2. Short-Term Debt Ratings
|
|
MIG-1
|
This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.
|
MIG-2
|
This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.
|
MIG-3
|
This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.
|
SG
|
This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.
|
Prime-1
|
Issuers rated Prime-1 (or supporting institutions) have a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. Prime-1 repayment ability will often be evidenced by many of the following characteristics:
|
Prime-2
|
Issuers rated Prime-2 (or supporting institutions) have a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
|
Prime-3
|
Issuers rated Prime-3 have an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.
|
SP-1
|
Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation.
|
SP-2
|
Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.
|
A-1
|
This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign designation.
|
A-2
|
Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1.
|
A-3
|
Issues carrying this designation have an adequate capacity for timely payment. They are, however, more vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher designations.
|
B
|
Issues rated “B” are regarded as having speculative capacity for timely payment.
|
C
|
This rating is assigned to short-term debt obligations with a doubtful capacity for payment.
|
D
|
Debt rated “D” is in payment default. The “D” rating category is used when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the due date, even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period.
|
|
F1
|
Highest credit quality.
Indicates the strongest capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added “+” to denote any exceptionally strong credit features.
|
|
F2
|
Good credit quality.
A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case of the higher ratings.
|
|
F3
|
Fair credit quality.
The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate; however, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction to non-investment grade.
|
|
B
|
Speculative.
Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
|
|
C
|
High default risk.
Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.
|
|
D
|
Default.
Denotes actual or imminent payment default.
|
R-1 (high)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (high)” is of the highest credit quality, and indicates an entity that possesses unquestioned ability to repay current liabilities as they fall due. Entities rated in this category normally maintain strong liquidity positions, conservative debt levels and profitability, which is both stable and above average. Companies achieving an “R-1 (high)” rating are normally leaders in structurally sound industry segments with proven track records, sustainable positive future results and no substantial qualifying negative factors. Given the
|
|
extremely tough definition, which Dominion has established for an “R-1 (high),” few entities are strong enough to achieve this rating.
|
R-1 (middle)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (middle)” is of superior credit quality and, in most cases, ratings in this category differ from “R-1 (high)” credits to only a small degree. Given the extremely tough definition, which Dominion has for the “R-1 (high)” category (which few companies are able to achieve), entities rated “R-1 (middle)” are also considered strong credits which typically exemplify above average strength in key areas of consideration for debt protection.
|
R-1 (low)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-1 (low)” is of satisfactory credit quality. The overall strength and outlook for key liquidity, debt and profitability ratios are not normally as favorable as with higher rating categories, but these considerations are still respectable. Any qualifying negative factors that exist are considered manageable, and the entity is normally of sufficient size to have some influence in its industry.
|
R-2 (low)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-2” is of adequate credit quality and within the three subset grades, debt protection ranges from having reasonable ability for timely repayment to a level, which is considered only just adequate. The liquidity and debt ratios of entities in the “R-2” classification are not as strong as those in the “R-1” category, and the past and future trend may suggest some risk of maintaining the strength of key ratios in these areas. Alternative sources of liquidity support are considered satisfactory; however, even the strongest liquidity support will not improve the commercial paper rating of the issuer. The size of the entity may restrict its flexibility, and its relative position in the industry is not typically as strong as an “R-1 credit.” Profitability trends, past and future, may be less favorable, earnings not as stable, and there are often negative qualifying factors present, which could also make the entity more vulnerable to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
|
R-3 (low)
|
Short-term debt rated “R-3” is speculative, and within the three subset grades, the capacity for timely payment ranges from mildly speculative to doubtful. “R-3” credits tend to have weak liquidity and debt ratios, and the future trend of these ratios is also unclear. Due to its speculative nature, companies with “R-3” ratings would normally have very limited access to alternative sources of liquidity. Earnings would typically be very unstable, and the level of overall profitability of the entity is also likely to be low. The industry environment may be weak, and strong negative qualifying factors are also likely to be present.
|
AMB-1+
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, the strongest ability to repay short-term debt obligations.

|
AMB-3
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an adequate ability to repay short-term debt obligations; however, adverse economic conditions will likely lead to a reduced
capacity to meet its financial commitments on shorter debt obligations.
|
|
AMB-4
|
Assigned to issues, where the issuer has, in A.M. Best’s opinion, speculative credit characteristics and is vulnerable to economic or other external changes, which could have a marked impact on the company’s ability to meet its commitments on short-term debt obligations.

Item 24.
|
Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund
|
|
Information pertaining to persons controlled by or under common control with Registrant is hereby incorporated by reference to the section captioned “Trustees and Officers of the Trust” in the Statement of Additional Information.
|
|
Protection for the liability of the adviser and underwriter and for the officers and trustees of the Registrant is provided by two methods:
|
(a)
|
The Trustee and Officer Liability Policy
. This policy covers all losses incurred by the Registrant, its adviser and its underwriter from any claim made against those entities or persons during the policy period by any shareholder or former shareholder of any Fund by reason of any alleged negligent act, error or omission committed in connection with the administration of the investments of said Registrant or in connection with the sale or redemption of shares issued by said Registrant. The Trust will not pay for such insurance to the extent that payment therefor is in violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Securities Act of 1933.
|
(b)
|
Indemnification Provisions under Agreement and Declaration of Trust
. Under Article VI of the Registrant’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, each of its Trustees and officers or any person serving at the Registrant’s request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Registrant has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise (“Covered Person”) shall be indemnified against all liabilities, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and expenses, including reasonable accountants’ and counsel fees, incurred by any Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or legislative body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such person may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been such an officer, director or trustee, except with respect to any matter as to which it has been determined that such Covered Person had acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person’s office (such conduct referred to hereafter as “Disabling Conduct”). A determination that the Covered Person is entitled to indemnification may be made by (i) a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that the person to be indemnified was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, (ii) dismissal of a court action or an administrative proceeding against a Covered Person for insufficiency of evidence of Disabling Conduct, or (iii) a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the Covered Person was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct by (a) a vote of a majority of a quorum of Trustees who are neither “interested persons” of the Registrant as defined in section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act nor parties to the proceeding, or (b) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
|
|
Expenses, including accountants and counsel fees so incurred by any such Covered Person (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or penalties), may be paid from time to time from funds attributable to the Fund of the Registrant in question in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit or proceeding, provided that the Covered Person shall have undertaken to repay the amounts so paid to the Fund of the Registrant in question if it is ultimately determined that indemnification of such expenses is not authorized under this Article VI and (i) the Covered Person shall have provided security for such undertaking, (ii) the Registrant shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances, or (iii) a majority of a quorum of the disinterested Trustees who are not a party to the proceeding, or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to full trial-type inquiry), that there is reason to believe that the Covered Person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.
|
|
As to any matter disposed of by a compromise payment by any such Covered Person pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, no such indemnification either for said payment or for any other expenses shall be provided unless such indemnification shall be approved (a) by a majority of the disinterested Trustees who are not parties to the proceeding or (b) by an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. Approval by the Trustees pursuant to clause (a) or by independent legal counsel pursuant to clause (b) shall not prevent the recovery from any Covered Person of any amount paid to such Covered Person in accordance with any of such clauses as indemnification if such Covered Person is subsequently adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been liable to the Registrant or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person’s office.
|
|
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the Registrant’s Agreement and Declaration of the Trust or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, then the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
