 The Board has adopted a written charter for the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee periodically reviews the committee structure, oversees the conduct of an annual self-assessment of the Board and its committees and makes the final selection and nomination of candidates to serve as Independent Directors. In addition, the Nominating Committee makes recommendations regarding the compensation of the Company’s Independent Directors for approval by the Board, as there is no separate compensation committee of the Company. The Board nominates and selects the interested Directors and the officers. Mr. Appleby serves as chair of the Nominating Committee. A copy of the Nominating Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website ( www.eaglepointcreditcompany.com). In reviewing a potential nominee and in evaluating the re-nomination of current Independent Directors, the Nominating Committee will generally apply the following criteria: (1) the nominee’s reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards; (2) the nominee’s business acumen, experience and ability to exercise sound judgment; (3) a commitment to understand the Company and the responsibilities of a director of an investment company; (4) a commitment to regularly attend and participate in meetings of the Board and its committees; (5) the ability to understand potential conflicts of interest involving management of the Company and to act in the interests of all Stockholders; and (6) the absence of a real or apparent conflict of interest that would impair the nominee’s ability to represent the interests of all Stockholders and to fulfill the responsibilities of an Independent Director. The Nominating Committee does not necessarily place the same emphasis on each criteria and each nominee may not have each of these qualities. 13 As long as an existing Independent Director continues, in the opinion of the Nominating Committee, to satisfy these criteria, we anticipate that the Nominating Committee would favor the re-nomination of an existing Independent Director rather than nominate a new candidate. Consequently, while the Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by Stockholders to serve as Independent Directors, the Nominating Committee may only act upon such recommendations if there is a vacancy on the Board or a committee and it determines that the selection of a new or additional Independent Director is in the Company’s best interests. In the event that a vacancy arises or a change in membership is determined to be advisable, the Nominating Committee will, in addition to any Stockholder recommendations, consider candidates identified by other means, including candidates proposed by members of the Nominating Committee.
