of the Advisor that provide services to the Company, is compatible with maintaining the independent auditors’ independence. Finally, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required

Committee is in compliance with applicable rules of the NYSE listing requirements for closed-end fund audit committees, including the requirement that all
members of the audit committee be “financially literate” and that at least one member of the audit committee have “accounting or related financial management expertise,” as determined by the Board. The Audit Committee is required
to conduct its operations in accordance with applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and the members of the Audit Committee are subject to the fiduciary duty to exercise reasonable

Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure
compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of the Company’s financial statements has been
carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or that the Company’s auditors are in fact “independent.”

Audit Committee referred to above and in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements of the Company be included in the Company’s annual report to shareholders for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2024. The members of the Audit Committee, Messrs. Haden, King, McMillan, Rooney, Swell,
