Item 29. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant
Not applicable.
Item 30. Indemnification
The Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify such persons, for such expenses and liabilities, in such manner, under such circumstances, and to such extent as permitted by Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Statutes, as now enacted or hereafter amended; provided, however, that no such indemnification may be made if it would be in violation of Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as now enacted or hereinafter amended, and any rules, regulations or releases promulgated thereunder.
The Registrant may indemnify its officers and directors and other “persons” acting in an “official capacity” (as such terms are defined in Section 302A.521) pursuant to a determination by the board of directors or shareholders of the Registrant as set forth in Section 302A.521, by special legal counsel selected by the board or a committee thereof for the purpose of making such a determination, or by a Minnesota court upon application of the person seeking indemnification. If a director is seeking indemnification for conduct in the capacity of director or officer of a Registrant, then such director generally may not be counted for the purpose of determining either the presence of a quorum or such director’s eligibility to be indemnified In any case, indemnification is proper only if the eligibility determining body decides that the person seeking indemnification:
| (a) | has not received indemnification for the same conduct from any other party or organization; |
2
| (b) | acted in good faith; |
| (c) | received no improper personal benefit; |
| (d) | in the case of criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; |
| (e) | reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interest of a Registrant, or in certain contexts, was not opposed to the best interest of a Registrant; and |
| (f) | had not otherwise engaged in conduct which precludes indemnification under either Minnesota or Federal law (including, but not limited to, conduct constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties as set forth in Section 17(h) and (i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940). |
If a person is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, the person is entitled, upon written request to a Registrant, to payment or reimbursement by a Registrant of reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding, (a) upon receipt by a Registrant of a written affirmation by the person of a good faith belief that the criteria for indemnification set forth in Section 302A.521 have been satisfied and a written undertaking by the person to repay all amounts so paid or reimbursed by the Registrant, if it is ultimately determined that the criteria for indemnification have not been satisfied, and (b) after a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under Section 302A.521. The written undertaking required by clause (a) is an unlimited general obligation of the person making it, but need not be secured and shall be accepted without reference to financial ability to make the repayment.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of a Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. 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 a Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless, in the opinion of its counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The Registrant undertakes to comply with the indemnification requirements of Investment Company Release 7221 (June 9, 1972) and Investment Company Release 11330 (September 2, 1980).
