 long or short exposure to other credit obligations; (ii) swaps and other derivative instruments (including total return, index and interest rate swaps, options, warrants, forward contracts,
futures contracts and options on futures contracts) that do not provide long or short exposure to other credit obligations; (iii) foreign currencies and foreign currency derivatives (including foreign currency related swaps, futures contracts
and forward contracts) acquired for the purpose of hedging the currency risk arising from the credit obligations in the Fund’s portfolio; and (iv) equity securities obtained through the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable
instruments, debt restructurings or bankruptcy proceedings and hedges on such positions. Structured products, swaps and other derivative instruments that do not provide long or short exposure to other credit obligations are those instruments whose
reference or underlying assets or indices are not credit obligations or indices of credit obligations. Examples of such instruments include equity- and commodity-linked notes, total return swaps based on the value of an equity security and commodity
futures contracts. The Fund may invest in such instruments in order, for example, (i) to seek current income or capital appreciation or (ii) to reduce the Fund’s exposure solely to credit obligations. The Adviser believes that the
flexibility afforded by being able to invest in such instruments may benefit the Fund by (i) allowing the Fund to invest in potentially attractive investment opportunities that are not credit obligations and (ii) increasing the mix of
instruments in the Fund’s portfolio which could reduce the overall risk of the Fund’s portfolio. There can be no assurance that these benefits will be realized and such instruments may expose the Fund to risks not presented by credit
obligations.

The types of derivative instruments that the Fund currently invests in (or considers for investment) are: structured
products, swaps, futures contracts, and forward contracts. In the future, the Fund may invest in other types of derivative instruments if deemed advisable by the Adviser. Structured products include instruments such as credit-linked securities,
commodity-linked notes and structured notes. A structured product may combine a traditional stock, bond, or commodity with an option or forward contract. An example of a structured product could be a bond issued by an oil company that pays a small
base level of interest with additional interest that accrues in correlation to the extent to which oil prices exceed a certain predetermined level. Such a structured product would be a combination of a bond and a call option on oil. The Fund may
commence investing in such other
