 of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Robert Bass, Tracy Collins, Vicki Fuller, James F. Clark, and Michelle Greene, all of whom have been determined not to be “interested persons” of the Company under the 1940 Act and who are “independent” as defined in the NYSE Listing Standards. Ms. Collins serves as Chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee. 

When vacancies or creations occur, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider trustee candidates recommended by a variety of sources to nominate for election by the Company’s shareholders. While the Nominating and Governance Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of the Company’s Independent Trustees, the Nominating and Governance Committee may accept nominees recommended by a shareholder as it deems appropriate. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee may do so by submitting their recommendation with biographical information and a statement as to the qualifications of the proposed nominee to the Secretary of the Company at 345 Park Avenue, 31st Floor, New York, New York 10154. In considering trustee candidates, the Nominating and Governance Committee will take into consideration whether or not the person is willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a trustee, whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a trustee, the contribution which the person may be expected to make to the Board and the Company, with consideration being given to the person’s business and professional experience, board experience, education and such other factors as the Nominating and Governance Committee, in its sole judgment, may consider relevant and the character and integrity of the person. In evaluating Independent Trustee candidates, the Nominating and Governance Committee also considers, among other factors that it may deem relevant, whether or not the person is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act, whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationship with Company
