NOTICE OF POSTPONEMENT OF JOINT SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

The joint special Meeting of Shareholders of the Madison Covered Call & Equity Strategy Fund (“MCN”) and the Madison Strategic Sector Premium Fund (“MSP”) (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) originally scheduled to be held on Friday, August 18, 2017 has been postponed and will now be held in the offices of Madison Asset Management, LLC, 550 Science Drive, Madison, WI 53711, on September 15, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time.
No changes have been made to the record date (May 25, 2017), the location of the meeting or the proposals (relating to reorganization) to be brought before the Special Meeting. We decided to postpone the meeting after becoming aware that we would not achieve a quorum for the MCN meeting and still had not received votes from over 2 million MSP shares.
If you have already voted, you do not need to take any further action. Any previous votes or proxies will be presented at the rescheduled meeting. If you have not voted, we strongly encourage you to do so and to vote in support the Boards’ recommendation to reorganize the Funds.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this postponement may cause you and appreciate your understanding. We simply want to allow for as many votes to be presented as possible.
By order of each Fund's Board of Trustees
