 effort to execute proxy votes on behalf of its clients prior to the applicable deadlines. However, TCW often
relies on third parties, including custodians and clients, for the timely provision of proxy ballots. TCW may be unable to execute on proxy votes if it does not receive requisite materials with sufficient time to review and process them.

Proxy Committee

In order to carry out
its fiduciary responsibilities in the voting of proxies for its clients, TCW has established a proxy voting committee (the “Proxy Committee”). The Proxy Committee generally meets quarterly (or at such other frequency as determined by the
Proxy Committee), and its duties include establishing and maintaining the Policy, overseeing the internal proxy voting process, and reviewing proxy voting proposals and issues that may not be covered by the Policy. The Proxy Committee has been
working with TCW’s equity investment teams to evolve TCW’s engagement process, proxy voting philosophy, scope of coverage, and execution.

Proxy Voting Services

TCW also uses
outside proxy voting services (each an “Outside Service”) to help manage the proxy voting process. An Outside Service facilitates TCW’s voting according to the Policy (or, if applicable, according to guidelines submitted by TCW’s
clients) by providing proxy research, an enhanced voting technology solution, and record keeping and reporting system(s). To supplement its own research and analysis in determining how best to vote a particular proxy proposal, TCW may utilize
research, analysis or recommendations provided by the proxy voting service on a case-by-case basis. TCW does not as a policy follow the assessments or recommendations
provided by the proxy voting service without its own determination and review. Under specified circumstances described below involving potential conflicts of interest, an Outside Service may also be requested to help decide certain proxy votes. In
those instances, the Proxy Committee shall review and evaluate the voting recommendations of such Outside Service to ensure that recommendations are consistent with TCW’s clients’ best interests.

Sub-Adviser

Where TCW has retained the services of a Sub-Adviser to provide day-to-day portfolio management for the portfolio, TCW may delegate proxy voting authority to the Sub-Adviser; provided that the
Sub-Adviser either (1) follows TCW’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures; or (2) has demonstrated that its proxy voting policies and procedures
(“Sub-Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures”) are in the best interests of TCW’s clients and appear to comply with governing regulations. TCW also
