* During the year ended December 31, 2010, Sequoia Fund, Inc. (the ?Fund?) paid two distributions, a portion of which were considered to be ordinary dividends for tax purposes. This determination was made based on the tax character of distributions received from portfolio companies of the Fund.

In conjunction with its merger with Biovail Corporation, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (?Valeant?) paid a pre-merger special dividend of $16.77 per share to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 27, 2010. At the time of the merger, Valeant had indicated that, based upon its estimated calculations, a portion of the dividend would be taxable as an ordinary dividend for U.S. federal tax purposes. Accordingly, the Fund made ordinary dividend distributions to its shareholders based on these estimates. Valeant has subsequently indicated that none of the pre-merger special dividend is taxable as a dividend for U.S. federal tax purposes. As a result, the portion of Fund distributions originally deemed as ordinary dividends have been re-characterized as nontaxable returns of capital. Revised distribution tables are presented above. We strongly suggest that you share this information with your tax advisor.
