 experience diversity when identifying future candidates. The N&CG Committee will ultimately recommend nominees that it believes will enhance the Board’s ability to oversee, in an effective manner, the affairs and business of the Fund. The N&CG Committee will consider and evaluate Stockholder-recommended candidates by applying the same criteria used to evaluate director-recommended candidates. The deadline for submitting a Stockholder proposal for inclusion in the Fund’s proxy statement and proxy for the Fund’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is October 28, 2025. Stockholders wishing to submit proposals or director nominations that are to be included in such proxy statement and proxy must deliver notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Fund no later than the close of business on October 28, 2025. Stockholders are also advised to review the Fund’s By-laws, which contain additional requirements with respect to advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.

In February 2025, the N&CG Committee met and discussed the nomination of the Class III Director nominees of the Fund for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Nominees were recommended by the N&CG Committee, comprised of the non-interested Directors. The N&CG Committee convened four (4) times during the 2024 calendar year.

The responsibilities of the N&CG Committee, as approved by the Directors, are set forth in the N&CG Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on the Fund’s website at www.cornerstonestrategicInvestmentfund.com under the section “Corporate Governance – Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter.”
