Committee pre-approves PwC’s engagement for other services to be provided to the Investment Manager
and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Investment Manager that provides
ongoing services to the Fund, which engagements relate directly to the operations and financial reporting
of the Fund. The aggregate fees paid to PwC for such services were $120,800 for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2023, and $385,325 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The services for which
these fees were paid included fees in connection with a license for accounting and business knowledge
platform Viewpoint, and professional services relating to the readiness assessment over Greenhouse Gas
Emissions and Energy, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, professional fees in connection with
SOC 1 reports, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and professional fees relating to security
counts for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024.
