Dear
Ms.
Bourassa:
Full
Value Partners L.P. is the beneficial owner of shares of Pioneer Tax Advantaged
Balanced Trust (the “Trust”) valued in excess of
$2,000.00. We have held our shares for at least 12 months and intend
to hold them through the next annual meeting. We hereby submit the
following proposal and supporting statement pursuant to rule 14a-8 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for inclusion in management’s proxy materials
for the next
meeting
of stockholders.
RESOLVED: Pioneer
Tax Advantaged Balanced Trust is requested to conduct a self-tender offer for
all outstanding shares of the Trust at net asset value (“NAV”). If
more than 50% of the Trust’s outstanding shares are tendered, the tender offer
should be cancelled and the Trust should be liquidated
Supporting
Statement
At
the
June 2006 annual meeting, Western Investment’s nominees were elected trustees on
a platform to narrow the Trust’s discount to NAV which Western called
“unacceptable.” We
voted
for
Western’s nominees and had high expectations that the Trust’s discount would
soon be eliminated.
Despite
an increase in the Trust’s monthly distribution, the Trust’s shares have
continued to trade at an “unacceptable” discount. As of August 16,
2007, the discount was more than 12%. Therefore, we believe it is
appropriate to conduct a self-tender offer for all outstanding shares of the
Trust to allow shareholders to receive full NAV for their shares. If
a majority of the Trust’s outstanding shares are tendered, that would
demonstrate that there is insufficient shareholder support for continuing the
Trust in its closed-end format. In that
case,
the
tender offer should be cancelled and the Trust should be
liquidated.
Very
truly yours,
Andrew
