CERTIFICATE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF FORT DEARBORN INCOME SECURITIES,
INC. CERTIFYING RESOLUTIONS APPROVING THE JOINT FIDELITY BOND
THE UNDERSIGNED, the duly appointed Assistant Secretary of Fort Dearborn Income Securities, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the Fund), registered as a management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), does hereby certify that the resolutions set forth below were approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund (the Board), including a majority of the Directors who are not interested persons of the Fund, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (the Independent Directors), on September 25, 2014, at a meeting of the Board:
WHEREAS, |
each Board has considered all relevant factors relating to the participation of The UBS Funds, UBS Relationship Funds, SMA Relationship Trust and Fort Dearborn Income Securities, Inc. under a fidelity bond issued by ICI Mutual Insurance Company (ICI Mutual) in the amount of $50 million (the Joint Fidelity Bond), which Joint Fidelity Bond is currently in effect with respect to each Fund and provides for joint coverage of each Fund, or each series of the Funds, as applicable, and other investment companies managed or advised by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (collectively, the Insured Series), as joint insureds under the Joint Fidelity Bond, including but not limited to, the amount of coverage provided by the Joint Fidelity Bond and those factors set forth in Rule 17g-1 (the Rule) under the 1940 Act; and |
WHEREAS, |
each Board, including the Independent Trustees/Directors, has concluded that it is consistent with the best interests of each Insured Series and its shareholders for the UBS Municipal Bond Fund (the New Fund) to be included as an Insured Series under the Joint Fidelity Bond; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, |
the Joint Fidelity Bond will provide adequate coverage for the New Fund, taking into consideration all relevant factors, including the number of parties to be named as insureds, their respective assets, the requirements of the Rule, the nature of the business activities of such other parties, the amount of the Joint Fidelity Bond and the amount of the premiums for such Bond, the ratable allocation of the premiums among all parties named as insureds, the extent to which the share of the premium allocated to an Insured Series, is less than the premium that it would have to pay if it had provided and maintained a single insured bond and the coverage provided under the Joint Fidelity Bond. |
|
|
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT | |
|
|
RESOLVED, |
that Fidelity Bond No. 87118113B (the Fidelity Bond or Bond) issued by ICI Mutual, which Fidelity Bond provides for joint coverage for each Insured Series and the New Fund (together, the Covered Series), in the amount of $50 million will provide adequate coverage for the Covered Series, and such Bond, including the portion of the premium to be paid by each Covered Series, is hereby approved by each Board, including the Independent Trustees/Directors, taking into consideration all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the number of the other parties named as insureds, the nature of the business activities of such other parties, the amount of the Fidelity Bond, the amount of the premiums for such Bond, |
|
the ratable allocation of the premiums among all parties named as insureds and the extent to which the share of the premium for the Fidelity Bond allocated to each Covered Series is less than the premium the Fund or series would have to pay if it provided and maintained a fidelity bond that covered only that Fund or series as the insured; and |
|
|
FURTHER |
|
RESOLVED, |
that the Fidelity Bond in the amount of $50 million and the allocation of the entire premium of the Fidelity Bond to the Covered Series on the basis of net assets, except for any additional premium related to the addition of the New Fund, which additional premium is to be paid by the New Fund, be, and they hereby are, approved; and |
|
|
FURTHER |
|
RESOLVED, |
that the appropriate officers of each Fund be, and each of them hereby is, authorized to execute and deliver such documents and to make such regulatory filings as may be necessary to effect the fidelity bond coverage contemplated hereby in accordance with the 1940 Act, the rules thereunder and each Funds by-laws; and |
|
|
FURTHER |
|
RESOLVED, |
that the Secretary of each Fund be, and such officer hereby is, designated as the officer to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and to give notices as may be required, from time to time, pursuant to Rule 17g-1(g) and Rule 17g-1(h) under the 1940 Act. |
