The valuation designee uses the following valuation methods to determine fair value as either fair value for investments for which market quotations are available, or if not available, the fair value, as determined in good faith pursuant to the Valuation Policy. The valuation of the portfolio securities of the Fund currently includes the following processes:

(i) The market value of each security listed or traded on any recognized securities exchange or automated quotation system will be the last reported sale price at the relevant valuation date on the composite tape or on the principal exchange on which such security is traded except those listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market and the NASDAQ Capital Market exchanges (collectively, “NASDAQ”). Securities traded on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If no sale is reported on that date, the security will be valued at the last reported bid price. If the Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) determines that price is not representative of the actual market price, the Committee may determine the fair value of the security.

(ii) Securities not traded on a U.S. exchange or NASDAQ and foreign securities that are traded on foreign exchanges whose operations are similar to the U.S. over-the-counter market will be valued at prices supplied by a pricing service. If the Committee determines that price is not representative of the actual market price, the Committee may determine the fair value of the security.

(iii) Debt securities will be valued based on evaluated mean prices by an outside pricing service that employs a pricing model that takes into account bids, yield spreads, and/or other market data and specific security characteristics (e.g., credit quality, maturity and coupon rate). If a price cannot be obtained from pricing services, quotes from market makers or brokers may be used. When possible, more than one market maker or broker should be utilized and the mean of bid and ask prices should be used.

(iv) Private Placements in Public Entities (“PIPES”) will be valued using the price of the publicly traded common stock as a baseline, deducting the discount realized on the original purchase and amortizing the difference over the restricted period.

(v) Listed options on debt or equity securities are valued at the last sale price or, if there are no trades for the day, the mean of the closing bid price and ask price. Unlisted options on debt or equity securities are valued
