 investment decisions; rather, such factors are considered in the context of what we believe will advance the value of an investment during the relevant holding period. TPG’s goal is to identify and evaluate financially material, investment-specific sustainability risks and performance factors to be considered in the investment decision-making and monitoring processes to ultimately help drive long-term value for its investors and shareholders in accordance with its fiduciary duties. The approach is customized to particular strategies and investment opportunities at TPG, as risks that are relevant or material to one strategy or investment may not be for another. TPG does not apply categorical industry or other investment restrictions across its strategies, including that of our Company, nor does it apply universal ESG targets or mandates across its investments or portfolio companies.

#### Governance
We are committed to good corporate governance practices that strengthen alignment of interests with our stockholders. We have adopted and adhere to a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covering, among other things, compliance with laws, rules and regulations, avoidance and management of conflicts of interest, strict prohibitions against insider trading (which are also subject to a separate policy), usurping corporate opportunities, and discrimination and harassment, in addition to general provisions ensuring that employees act honestly and ethically. As an extension of these policies, we maintain a whistleblower / ethics hotline with anonymous reporting options. This code is applicable to our directors and to all of TPG Angelo Gordon's employees who provide services to us, including our officers.

Further examples of our strong governance framework include (assuming all of our nominees are elected at the Annual Meeting):

• 2/3 of our Board members are independent and our Board has an independent, Non-Executive Chair;

• 1/3 of our Board members are female;

• We are committed to Board refreshment (4.2 years average director tenure);

• Shares received as director compensation are subject to a lock-up for the duration of such director's tenure;

• Established common stock ownership minimums, with a policy prohibiting pledging or hedging;

• We do not have a classified board and we hold annual elections of directors;

• Adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines & Code of Business Conduct and Ethics;

• Our Board and each committee conduct annual self-assessments;

• Our Board committees are comprised solely of independent directors; and

• Regular meetings of independent directors without management and with independent auditors.

#### Community Engagement
