Royce Focus Trust, Inc. Common Stock (Nasdaq - FUND) Quarterly Distribution

CUSIP: 78080N108

A quarterly distribution of $0.10 per share on Royce Focus Trust, Inc.'s Common Stock, optionally payable in additional shares, is to be paid on June 23, 2011 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 6, 2011. The price of shares issued for reinvestment ($7.38) was determined on June 13, 2011 (The Valuation Date).

The reinvestment price is determined on the valuation date by the lower of the last reported sale price at the close of regular trading on the NASDAQ National Market or the net asset value per share on the valuation date (but not less than 95% of the last reported sale price on that date).

The Fund currently estimates that approximately 4.71% ($0.0047 per share) of this distribution is from ordinary income, 28.26% ($0.0283) is from Short Term Capital Gains and 67.03% ($0.067 per share) is from long term capital gains.

This notice is not for tax reporting purposes and is being provided only for informational purposes in order to comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. In January 2012, after the completion of the Fund's tax year, shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV which will reflect the amount of income, capital gain and any return of capital paid by the Fund in calendar year 2011 and reportable on your 2011 federal and other income tax returns.

Distributions may be paid in part or in full from net investment income, realized capital gains and/or by returning capital. Stockholders should note, however, that if the Fund's aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution, the difference will be distributed from the Fund's assets and will be characterized as a return of the capital. A return of capital is not taxable; rather it reduces a stockholder's tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund.
