and to furnish the Fund with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on the Fund’s review of Forms 3 and 4 and
amendments thereto filed electronically with the SEC during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund believes that during that
year such persons complied with all such applicable filing requirements.

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

For
purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting, abstentions (or “withheld votes”
with respect to the election of Trustees) and broker “non-votes” (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees
indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular
matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present but
that have not been voted. Accordingly, shareholders are urged to forward their voting instructions promptly.

Because
the Fund requires a plurality of votes to elect each nominee for Trustee, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted
as votes cast, but will have no effect on the result of the vote. Abstentions and any broker non-votes, however, will be considered to
be present at the Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.

Brokers
holding shares of the Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the
instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on Proposal 1 before the Meeting. Under the rules of the NYSE
American such brokers may, for certain “routine” matters, grant discretionary authority to the proxies designated
by the Board to vote if no instructions have been received from their customers and clients prior to the date specified in the brokers’
request for voting instructions. Proposal 1 is a “routine” matter and accordingly beneficial owners who do
not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their shares voted by broker-dealer firms in favor of Proposal
1. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s
shares should be voted on Proposal 1 may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the proposal.

Shareholders
of the Fund will be informed of the voting results of the Meeting in the Fund’s Semiannual Report for the six
