The U.S. economy slowed during the six-month reporting period ended August 31, 2012. There were a variety of issues behind the slowdown, notably Europes ongoing sovereign fiscal crisis, a slowdown in China and uncertainty about future levels of federal taxes and spending in the United States. Stocks reached their highest levels since 2008, despite corporate earnings flattening.
Six Month Review through August 31, 2012
| AGIC Convertible & Income Fund returned 2.19% on net asset value (NAV) and 0.98% on market price. |
| AGIC Convertible & Income Fund II returned 2.14% on NAV and 3.74% on market price. |
In comparison, the Standard & Poors 500 Index, an unmanaged index generally representative of the
U.S. stock market, rose 4.14% and the Barclays U.S. Credit Index, an unmanaged index considered representative of publicly issued, Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) registered U.S. corporate and specific foreign debentures and secured notes, returned 4.63% during the six-month reporting period. The BofA Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index, an unmanaged index generally representative of the convertible securities market, returned 0.67% during the reporting period.
As the fiscal reporting period began, U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), the value of goods and services produced in the country, the broadest measure of economic activity and the principal indicator of economic performance, expanded at an annual rate of 2.0% between January and March 2012, and at a 1.7% annual pace from April to June, 2012. This slowing trend is notable, given that growth registered a 4.1% annual rate during the fourth quarter of 2011.
The period opened with robust private sector hiring; however, hiring diminished throughout the six-month period. Unemployment declined from 8.3% to 8.1% during the reporting period. U.S. consumers, whose spending represents approximately two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, became increasingly skittish at the abundant signs of a slowdown, notably the tepid labor market and rising gasoline prices.
In response to this uncertainty, investors shifted assets into the perceived safe haven of U.S. Treasury bonds, triggering the yield to reach a record low of 1.43%. During the reporting period, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond fell from 1.98% at the beginning of the reporting period to 1.57% on August 31, 2012.

Positioned to Face Todays Challenges
Shortly after the fiscal reporting period ended, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) revealed that it would embark upon a third round of so-called quantitative easing. The Fed agreed to purchase $40 billion of mortgage securities each month for the foreseeable future. The plans objective is to lower already record low mortgage rates in an effort to boost the housing market. The Fed also indicated that it would continue Operation Twist, a program which involves selling debt obligations with short-term maturities and purchasing debt
obligations with longer-term maturities. The Fed announced that the Fed Funds rate is expected to be held in the 0.0% to 0.25% range through 2015, longer than previously expected. The rate has been at this level since December 2008. In addition to stimulating the housing market, the Fed indicated that these measures were aimed at boosting U.S. hiring.
There is growing uncertainty over future levels of
federal taxes and spending. A series of tax cuts are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012 and major spending reductions are planned to begin in January 2013. The prospect of higher taxes, reduced spending, or both, would likely have an adverse effect on the economy in 2013.

AGIC Convertible & Income Funds Fund Insights
August 31, 2012 (unaudited)
For the period of March 1, 2012, through August 31, 2012 as provided by Doug Forsyth, Portfolio Manager.
For the fiscal six-month period ended August 31, 2012, AGIC Convertible & Income Fund and AGIC Convertible & Income Fund II (the Funds) returned 2.19% and 2.14% on net asset value (NAV) and 0.98% and 3.74% on market price, respectively.
Market Environment
Performance over the six-month period can be segmented into three distinct time frames.
In the first month of the reporting period, the markets continued an upward trend that began in October 2011. The most obvious factor driving the rally was the decoupling of U.S. and European financial risk. As economic statistics, corporate earnings and, specifically, the housing market, showed improvement, the likelihood of a double-dip recession fell off the table. It also became more apparent that the European Union (E.U.) was addressing the crisis, which gave investors more confidence. Besides a positive equity market, an increase in bond floor valuations had a positive impact on the convertible market. Corporate bond spreads tightened as prices rose. Bond prices rose to more accurately reflect the lack of balance sheet risk for the average issuer in the market.
Investor sentiment over the next two months was in stark contrast to the sentiment shift seen in prior months when investors felt the risks to the U.S. economy had diminished. By early April, fear and macro concerns returned. Despite some softening in the broad economic statistics in the U.S., the real focus was on the day-to-day reports regarding the developments throughout Europe. Although the details were laid out in the media, there was little certainty about which specific event was the most critical. Uncertainty is the primary killer of investor confidence. With little direction and no discernible timetable toward resolution for all of the financial woes across several countries, investors sold risk assets. Convertible securities, like equities, were sold, and investors once again flocked to Treasuries and cash.
Over the remaining three months of the reporting period, markets rebounded sharply on speculation that the Federal Reserve would announce QE3 and central banks would increase efforts to stabilize economies throughout Asia

and Europe. Furthermore, favorable developments in Europe, positive U.S. housing reports and healthy U.S. corporate earnings offset weakening global economic data reports.
Sector level performance was mixed. In general, counter-cyclical sectors such as Health Care, Utilities and Telecommunications outperformed economically-sensitive issuers. Media and Financials issues supported the overall market as well. In contrast, global economic slowdown concerns pressured Industrials, Materials and Energy issuers.
Portfolio Specifics
In general, the Funds followed a pattern of fluctuations similar to the overall markets.
Convertible positions in Financials and defensive-oriented sectors such as Utilities, Consumer Staples and Health Care, were among the greatest contributors to the Funds overall performance. Technology and Industrials issues had a positive impact as well. Defensive sectors were the beneficiaries of the general market rotation occurring during the volatile months of April and May. Select Technology issues moved higher on better-than-expected earnings.
The Funds weakest convertible performers were concentrated in Telecommunications and cyclical sectors including Materials, Energy and Transportation. Lower oil prices led to declines in Energy issues. In general, Transportation companies underperformed due to economic slowdown concerns, despite falling crude oil prices. Materials companies underperformed due to weakening demand and lower prices for commodities.
High yield bond positions in Automotive & Auto Parts, Food & Drug Retail and Restaurants were among the greatest contributors to the Funds overall performance. In addition, select Telecommunications Wireline, Consumer Products and Containers issues moved higher over the reporting period.
The Funds weakest high yield bond performers were concentrated in the Utilities, Paper and Chemicals industries. In addition, Steel and Metals/Mining issues came under pressure. These industries were among the hardest hit in the reporting period by the negative shift in the global economic outlook.

Outlook
The outlook for the convertible and high yield markets is unchanged. The global economy is going through a soft patch. European sovereign debt issues will continue to make headlines but corporate profits should remain resilient.
Corporate balance sheets remain strong with leverage ratios and interest coverage ratios near, or better than, levels seen in the past twenty years. Cash levels of investment grade issuers remain high, and acquisition activity is ongoing. Significant refinancing activity for the past few years has essentially eliminated near-term amortization risk. The Fed and policymakers are in an accommodative stance and have acted by continuing quantitative easing. These factors combine to create an environment where defaults are low. Given these dynamics, high yield bonds and convertible bond floors should hold, supporting downside protection.
Macro factors are having an impact on daily volatility and prices of higher beta issues, which warrants close monitoring. Commodity prices eased in the first half of 2012 and should be a tailwind to earnings for the remainder of the year. In addition, U.S. economic statistics though slowing reflect continued economic growth, which should allow a majority of companies to meet or exceed earnings expectations.
For the balance of 2012, companies are expected to use the high cash levels on their balance sheets and future free cash flow to boost shareholder value. Share buybacks, increased dividends and merger and acquisition activity are possible uses of excess cash. These factors typically benefit equity and convertible investors.

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV or market price (as applicable) in the specified period. The calculation assumes that all income dividends, capital gain and return of capital distributions, if any, have been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return.
Performance at market price will differ from results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Fund, market conditions, supply and demand for the Fund s shares, or changes in the Funds dividends.
An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, market price, market price yield and NAV will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information purposes only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are traded in the open market through a stock exchange. NAV is equal to total assets attributable to common shareholders less total liabilities divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.
(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly dividend per common share (comprised of net investment income) by the market price per common share at August 31, 2012.
(3) Represents Preferred Shares outstanding as a percentage of total managed assets. Total managed assets refer to total assets (including assets attributable to Preferred Shares) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing Preferred Shares).

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
AGIC Convertible & Income Fund (Convertible & Income) and AGIC Convertible & Income Fund II (Convertible & Income II), each a Fund and collectively referred to as the Funds, were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on January 17, 2003 and April 22, 2003, respectively. Prior to commencing operations on March 31, 2003, and July 31, 2003, respectively, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and registration as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder, as amended. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the Investment Manager) serves as the Funds investment manager and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. (AAM). AAM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. Each Fund has authorized an unlimited amount of common shares with $0.00001 par value.
Each Funds investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of capital appreciation and high current income. The Funds attempt to achieve this objective by investing in a portfolio of convertible securities and non-convertible income-producing securities. There can be no assurance that the Funds will meet their stated objectives.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in each Funds financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires enhanced disclosures that will enable users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entitys financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Funds management is currently evaluating the effect that the guidance may have on the Funds financial statements.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:
(a) Valuation of Investments
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services. The Funds investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics.
The Board of Trustees (the Board) has adopted procedures for valuing portfolio securities and other financial derivative instruments in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated the responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the Investment Manager and Allianz Global Investors Capital LLC (AGIC) (the Sub-Adviser), an affiliate of the Investment Manager. The Funds Valuation Committee was established to oversee the implementation of the Funds valuation methods and to make fair value determinations on behalf of the Board, as instructed. The Sub-Adviser monitors the continual appropriateness of methods applied and determines if adjustments should be made in light of market changes, events affecting the issuer, or other factors. If the Sub-Adviser determines that a valuation method may no longer be appropriate, another valuation

AGIC Convertible & Income Funds Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
method may be selected, or the Valuation Committee will be convened to consider the matter and take any appropriate action in accordance with procedures set forth by the Board. The Board shall review the appropriateness of the valuation methods and these methods may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Valuation Committee.
If third party evaluated vendor pricing is neither available nor deemed to be reliable of fair value, the Sub-Adviser may elect to obtain market quotations (broker quotes) directly from a broker-dealer.
Synthetic convertible securities are valued based on quotations obtained from unaffiliated brokers who are the principal market-markets in such securities. Such valuations are derived by the brokers from proprietary models which are generally based on readily available market information including valuations of the common stock underlying the synthetic security.
Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.
The prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and these differences could be material to the Funds financial statements. Each Funds net asset value is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open for business.
(b) Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access |
| Level 2 valuations based on other significant observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates or other market corroborated inputs. |
| Level 3 valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Sub-Advisers or Valuation Committees own assumptions and single broker quotes in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Funds generally use to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) Equity securities traded in inactive markets are valued using inputs which include broker-dealer quotes, recently executed transactions adjusted for changes in the benchmark index, or evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing services that take into account the integrity of the market sector and issuer, the individual characteristics of the security, and information received from broker-dealers and other market sources pertaining to the issuer or security. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of equity securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
Convertible Bonds & Notes Convertible bonds & notes are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are

AGIC Convertible & Income Funds Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
observable, the values of convertible bonds and notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
Corporate Bonds & Notes Corporate bonds & notes are generally comprised of two main categories: investment grade bonds and high yield bonds. Investment grade bonds are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, and option adjusted spread models that include base curve and spread curve inputs. Adjustments to individual bonds can be applied to recognize trading differences compared to other bonds issued by the same issuer. High yield bonds are valued by independent pricing services based primarily on broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds and notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the six months ended August 31, 2012 were intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The Funds policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. An investment assets or liabilitys level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used. Assets categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of period end many have been transferred between Levels 1 and 2 since the prior period due to changes in the valuation method utilized in valuing the investments.
A summary of the inputs used at August 31, 2012 in valuing Convertible & Incomes assets and liabilities is listed below (refer to the Schedules of Investments for more detailed information on Investments in Securities):

AGIC Convertible & Income Funds Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2012 (unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation are reflected on the Statements of Operations.
(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premiums is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest income by using the yield-to-worst methodology, using the lower of either the yield to maturity or the yield to call on every possible call date over the lives of the respective securities. Conversion premium is not amortized. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Payments received on synthetic convertible securities are generally included in dividends. Consent fees are related to corporate actions and recorded when received. Payments received from certain investments may be comprised of dividends, realized gains and return of capital. These payments may initially be recorded as dividend income and may subsequently be reclassified as realized gains and/or return of capital upon receipt of information from the issuer.
(d) Federal Income Taxes
The Funds intend to distribute all of their taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Funds management has determined that its evaluation has resulted in no material impact to the Funds financial statements at August 31, 2012. The Funds federal tax returns for the prior three years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
(e) Dividends and Distributions Common Shares
The Funds declare dividends from net investment income to common shareholders monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Funds record dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These book-tax differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or distributions to shareholders from return of capital.
(f) Convertible Securities
It is the Funds policy to invest a portion of their assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities do derive part of their value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not considered derivative financial instruments. However, certain of the Funds investments in convertible securities include features which render them more sensitive to price changes in their underlying securities. The value of structured/synthetic convertible securities can be affected by interest rate changes and credit risks of the issuer. Such securities may be structured in ways that limit their potential for capital appreciation and the entire value of the security may be at risk of loss depending on the performance of the underlying equity security. Consequently, the Funds are exposed to greater downside risk than traditional convertible securities, but still less than that of the underlying stock.

AGIC Convertible & Income Funds Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2012 (unaudited)
2. Principal Risk
In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to, among other things, changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (counterparty risk). The Funds also are exposed to other risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and leverage risks.
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by the Funds are likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is used primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income securitys market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements.
The Funds are exposed to credit risk, which is the risk of losing money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.
The market values of securities may decline due to general market conditions (market risk) which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.
The Funds are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Funds could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Sub-Adviser, seeks to minimize the Funds counterparty risks by performing reviews of each counterparty and by minimizing concentration of counterparty risk by undertaking transactions with multiple customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Funds have received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.
The Funds are exposed to risks associated with leverage. Leverage may cause the value of the Funds shares to be more volatile than if the Funds did not use leverage. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Funds portfolio securities. The Funds may engage in transactions or purchase instruments that give rise to forms of leverage. In addition, to the extent the Funds employ leverage, dividends and interest costs may not be recovered by any appreciation of the securities purchased with the leverage proceeds and could exceed the Funds investment returns, resulting in greater losses.
3. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser
Each Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (each an Agreement) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of each Funds Board, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the Funds investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to each Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.70% of each Funds average daily total managed assets. Total managed assets refer to the total assets of each Fund (including assets attributable to any Preferred Shares or other forms of leverage that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing leverage).

3. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser (continued)
The Investment Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to manage the Funds investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all of the Funds investment decisions. The Investment Manager, not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services.
4. Investment in Securities
For the six months ended August 31, 2012, purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term securities were:

723,752,614 | 60,681,022 | (44,126,964 | ) | 16,554,058 |
The difference between book and tax cost basis was attributable to the differing treatment of bond premium amortization and wash sale loss deferrals.
6. Auction-Rate Preferred Shares
Convertible & Income has 2,856 shares of Preferred Shares Series A, 2,856 shares of Preferred Shares Series B, 2,856 shares of Preferred Shares Series C, 2,856 shares of Preferred Shares Series D and 2,856 shares of Preferred Shares Series E outstanding, each with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends.
Convertible & Income II has 2,192 shares of Preferred Shares Series A, 2,192 shares of Preferred Shares Series B, 2,192 shares of Preferred Shares Series C, 2,192 shares of Preferred Shares Series D and 2,192 shares of Preferred Shares Series E outstanding, each with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends.
Dividends are accumulated daily at an annual rate (typically re-set every seven days) through auction procedures (or through default procedures in the event of failed auctions). Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annually.
For the six months ended August 31, 2012, the annualized dividend rates for the Funds ranged from:

The Funds are subject to certain limitations and restrictions while Preferred Shares are outstanding. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude the Funds from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends.

6. Auction-Rate Preferred Shares (continued)
Preferred shareholders, who are entitled to one vote per share, generally vote together with the common shareholders but vote separately as a class to elect two Trustees and on any matters affecting the rights of the Preferred Shares.
Since mid-February 2008, holders of auction-rate preferred shares (ARPS) issued by the Funds have been directly impacted by an unprecedented lack of liquidity, which has similarly affected ARPS holders in many of the nations closed-end funds. Since then, regularly scheduled auctions for ARPS issued by the Funds have consistently failed because of insufficient demand (bids to buy shares) to meet the supply (shares offered for sale) at each auction. In a failed auction, ARPS holders cannot sell all, and may not be able to sell any, of their shares tendered for sale. While repeated auction failures have affected the liquidity for ARPS, they do not constitute a default or automatically alter the credit quality of the ARPS, and ARPS holders have continued to receive dividends at the defined maximum rate, equal to the 7-day AA Composite Commercial Paper Rate multiplied by 200%, depending on the credit rating of the ARPS (which is a function of short-term interest rates and typically higher than the rate that would have otherwise been set through a successful auction). If the Funds ARPS auctions continue to fail and the maximum rate payable on the ARPS rises as a result of changes in short-term interest rates, returns for the Funds common shareholders could be adversely affected.
On July 13, 2012, Moodys Investor Service downgraded its ratings for each series of the Funds Preferred Shares from Aaa to A1.

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (AST) became the transfer agent for the Funds, effective as of September 17, 2012 (the Effective Date). The amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan) and ASTs role as transfer agent for Participants under the Plan commenced as of the Effective Date.
On September 25, 2012 and October 2, 2012, respectively, Convertible & Income and Convertible & Income II each filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which would permit each Fund to issue up to a yet-to-be-determined dollar amount of common shares of beneficial interest through one or more public offerings. Under its shelf registration statement, if and when declared effective by the SEC, a Fund may sell the Funds common shares in one or more at-the-market offerings when market conditions are considered favorable. Such shares would only be issued when the premium to net asset value is greater than the costs associated with the transaction. Any proceeds raised would be used for investment purposes. The amount of common shares that may be issued by each Fund in its offerings will be disclosed in a pre-effective amendment to the Funds registration statement.
There were no other subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure. In preparing these financial statements, the Funds management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

AGIC Convertible & Income Funds Matters Relating to the Trustees Consideration
of the Investment Management & Portfolio
Management Agreements (unaudited)
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the Trustees) and a majority of the non-interested Trustees (the Independent Trustees), voting separately, approve the Funds Management Agreements with the Investment Manager (the Advisory Agreements) and Portfolio Management Agreements between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser (the Sub-Advisory Agreements, and together with the Advisory Agreement, the Agreements). The Trustees met in person on June 26-27, 2012 (the contract review meeting) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during the contract review meeting.
Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of the Funds Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements should be approved for a one-year period commencing July 1, 2012.
In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager or the Sub-Advisers under the applicable Agreement.
In connection with their contract review meetings, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. (Lipper) on the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Funds for various time periods, the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives as the Funds identified by Lipper and the performance of an applicable benchmark index, (ii) information provided by Lipper on the Funds management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper, (iii) information regarding the investment performance and management fees of any comparable portfolios of other clients of the Sub-Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and other clients, (iv) the estimated profitability to the Investment Manager from its relationship with each Fund for the one- year period ended December 31, 2011, (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the Funds, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Funds.
The Trustees conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.
As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Managers and the Sub-Advisers abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Funds. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Funds; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Funds. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Managers and the Sub-Advisers services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Funds; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Funds; and conditions that might affect the Investment Managers or the Sub-Advisers ability to provide high quality services

AGIC Convertible & Income Funds Matters Relating to the Trustees Consideration
of the Investment Management & Portfolio
Management Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
to the Funds in the future under the Agreements, including each organizations respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Advisers investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to each of the Funds given their respective investment objective and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers would be able to continue to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.
Based on information provided by Lipper, the Trustees also reviewed each Funds total return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Lipper. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Investment Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding each Funds performance.
In assessing the reasonableness of each Funds fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, each Funds management fee and its total expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares, preferred shares and other forms of leverage and the management fee and total expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Lipper.
The Trustees specifically took note of how each Fund compared to its Lipper peers as to performance, management fee expense and total net expenses. The Trustees noted that while the Funds are not charged a separate administration fee, certain of the peer funds in the Lipper categories were separately charged such a fee by their investment managers, so that the total expense ratio (rather than any individual expense component) represented the most relevant comparison. It was noted that the total expense ratio reflects the effect of expense waivers/reimbursements (although none exist for the Funds) and does not reflect interest expense.
Convertible & Income:
The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Lipper consisted of a total of five closed-end funds, including the Fund and including another peer Fund managed by the Investment Manager. The Trustees noted that only leveraged closed-end funds were considered for inclusion in the group. The Trustees noted that average net assets of the common shares of the five funds in the peer group ranged from $78.6 million to $823.3 million, and that one of the funds is larger in asset size than the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund was ranked first out of five funds in the expense peer group for total expense ratio based on common share assets and based on common share and leveraged assets combined, third out of five funds in the expense peer group for the actual management fees based on common share assets and first out of five funds in actual management fees based on common and leveraged assets combined (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked fifth having the highest fees/expenses in the peer group).
With respect to Fund performance (based on net asset value), the Trustees noted that the Fund had second quintile performance for the one-year period, first quintile performance for the three-year period and ranked third out of five funds for the five-year period ended February 29, 2012.
Convertible & Income II:
The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Lipper consisted of a total of five closed-end funds, including the Fund and including another peer Fund managed by the Investment Manager. The Trustees noted that only leveraged closed-end funds were considered for inclusion in the group. The Trustees noted that average net assets of the common shares of the five funds in the peer group ranged from $78.6 million to $823.3 million, and that two of the funds are larger in asset size than the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund was ranked second out of five funds in the expense peer group for total expense ratio based on common share assets and based on common share and leveraged assets combined, fourth out of five funds in the expense peer group for the actual management fees based on common share assets and second out of five funds in actual management fees based on common and leveraged assets combined (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked fifth having the highest fees/expenses in the peer group).

AGIC Convertible & Income Funds Matters Relating to the Trustees Consideration
of the Investment Management & Portfolio
Management Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
With respect to Fund performance (based on net asset value), the Trustees noted that the Fund had second quintile performance for the one-year period, first quintile performance for the three-year period and ranked fourth out of five funds for the five-year period ended February 29, 2012.
In addition to their review of Fund performance based on net asset value, the Trustees also considered the market value performance of each Funds common shares and related share price premium and/or discount information based on the materials provided by Lipper and management.
The Trustees also considered the management fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to other clients, including institutional separate accounts with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds. Regarding the institutional separate accounts, they noted that the management fees paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by these clients of the Sub-Adviser, but the Trustees were advised by the Sub-Adviser that the administrative burden for the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds are also relatively higher, due in part to the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Funds are subject in comparison to institutional separate accounts. The Trustees noted that the management fees paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by the open-end funds offered for comparison but were advised that there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing the Funds, such as meeting a regular dividend level.
The Trustees also took into account that the Funds have preferred shares outstanding which increases the amount of fees received by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements (because the fees are calculated based on each Funds total managed assets, including assets attributable to preferred shares and other forms of leverage outstanding). In this regard, the Trustees took into account that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser have a financial incentive for the Funds to continue to have preferred shares and other forms of leverage outstanding, which may create a conflict of interest between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, on one hand, and the Funds common shareholders, on the other. In this regard, the Trustees considered information provided by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser indicating that each Funds use of leverage, either through preferred shares or otherwise, continues to be appropriate and in the interests of the respective Funds common shareholders.
Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the estimated profitability of the Investment Manager from its relationship with each Fund and determined that such profitability did not appear to be excessive.
The Trustees also took into account that, as closed-end investment companies, the Funds do not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Funds will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of each Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.
Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called fall-out benefits to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Funds.
After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded with respect to each Fund, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements and based on the information provided and related representations made by management, that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Funds.
