 consummated, or the loans are not eligible for purchase by the CLO, the Company may be responsible for either holding or disposing of the loans. This could expose the Company to credit and/or mark-to-market losses, and other risks.

#### Synthetic Investments Risk
The Company may invest in synthetic investments, such as significant risk transfer securities and credit risk transfer securities issued by banks or other financial institutions, or acquire interests in lease agreements that have the general characteristics of loans and are treated as loans for withholding tax purposes. In addition to the credit risks associated with the applicable reference assets, the Company will usually have a contractual relationship only with the counterparty of such synthetic investment, and not with the reference obligor of the reference asset. Accordingly, the Company generally will have no right to directly enforce compliance by the reference obligor with the terms of the reference asset nor will it have any rights of setoff against the reference obligor or rights with respect to the reference asset. The Company will not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the reference asset and will not have the benefit of the remedies that would normally be available to a holder of such reference asset. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the counterparty, the Company may be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the reference asset. Consequently, the Company will be subject to the credit risk of the counterparty as well as that of the reference obligor. As a result, concentrations of synthetic securities in any one counterparty subjects the Company to an additional degree of risk with respect to defaults by such counterparty as well as by the reference obligor.

#### Currency Risk
Although the Company primarily makes investments denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company may make investments denominated in other currencies. The Company’s investments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be subject to the risk that the value of such currency will decrease in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Company may or may not hedge currency risk.

#### Hedging Risk
Hedging transactions seeking to reduce risks may result in poorer overall performance than if the Company had not engaged in such hedging transactions. Additionally, such transactions may not fully hedge the Company’s risks.

#### Reinvestment Risk
CLOs will typically generate cash from asset repayments and sales that may be reinvested in substitute assets, subject to compliance with applicable investment tests. If the CLO collateral manager causes the CLO to purchase substitute assets at a lower yield than
