 share acquisition” (as defined in the MCSAA) will not be entitled to vote its
“control shares” unless the other stockholders of the corporation reinstate those voting rights at a meeting of stockholders by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding the “acquiring
person” (i.e., the holder or group of holders acting in concert that acquires, or proposes to acquire, “control shares”) and any other holders of “interested shares” (as defined in the MCSAA).

Generally, “control shares” are shares that, when aggregated with shares already owned by an acquiring person, would entitle the acquiring
person to exercise 10% or more, 33 1/3% or more, or a majority of the total voting power of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors. The MCSAA does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the
corporation is a party to the transaction, (b) to shares acquired under the satisfaction of a pledge or other security interest created in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing the MCSAA, or (c) to acquisitions of shares approved or
exempted by a provision contained in the charter or bylaws of the corporation and adopted at any time before the acquisition of the shares. Stockholders (together with any “associated persons” (as defined in the MCSAA)) that own less
than ten percent of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors are not affected by the restrictions on voting

Accordingly, any holder of the Fund’s outstanding shares of Common Stock that is deemed to hold “control shares” under the MCSAA will not be entitled to vote its control shares at the Meeting.
