In the Reorganizations, common shareholders of each Acquired Fund received an amount of its respective Survivor Fund’s common shares equal to the aggregate NAV of their holdings of the Acquired Fund’s common shares as determined at the close of business on February 20, 2026. Fractional shares of each Survivor Fund’s common shares were not issued in the Reorganizations and consequently cash will be distributed for any such fractional shares. In addition, each Acquired Fund’s preferred shareholders received on a one-for-one basis Survivor Fund preferred shares in an amount equal to the aggregate preferred share liquidation preference held by the Acquired Fund’s preferred shareholders immediately prior to the Reorganizations. The Reorganizations are expected to be non-taxable events. Discount Management Program (DMP) Each of the Survivor Funds will participate in a DMP for 2026. Under the terms of each Fund’s DMP, each Fund intends to offer to repurchase a portion of its outstanding common shares via tender offer if certain conditions are met during the specified time period, as detailed below. If a Fund’s common shares trade at an average daily discount to net asset value (&#34;NAV&#34;) of greater than 10.00% during the 9-month measurement period (the &#34;Measurement Period&#34;), the Fund intends to offer to repurchase, as soon as practicable following the Measurement Period end date, a minimum of 5% of its outstanding common shares at a price equal to 98% of the Fund’s NAV, as determined on the trading day after the tender offer expires. Each DMP will be comprised of one Measurement Period, as detailed below, unless continued by a Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees (each a “Board”). The Measurement Period start and end dates are currently expected to be as indicated below. <table> <tbody><tr> <td rowspan="1" colspan="1"> Measurement Period Start </td> <td rowspan="1" colspan="1"> Measurement Period End </td> <td rowspan="1" colspan="1"> Discount to NAV Trigger </td> <td rowspan="1" colspan="1"> Repurchase Amount </td> <td rowspan="1" colspan="1"> Price </td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="1" colspan="1"> January 1, 2026 </td> <td rowspan="1" colspan="1"> September 30, 2026 </td> <td rowspan="1" colspan="1"> More than -10.00% </td> <td rowspan="1" colspan="1"> Minimum of 5% of outstanding shares </td> <td rowspan="1" colspan="1"> 98% of NAV </td> </tr> </tbody></table> Each DMP is intended to enhance long-term shareholder value. However, even if a tender offer is triggered under a DMP, there is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares that they desire to sell in any particular tender offer and there can be no assurances as to the effect that a DMP will have on the market for a Fund’s shares or the discount at which a Fund’s shares may trade relative to its NAV. This communication is not intended to, and shall not, constitute an offer to purchase or sell shares of any of the Funds, including each Survivor Fund.
