 also must file an information return reporting the amounts on Form 1042-S, Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding.

Payors of interest, dividends, royalties, gross proceeds from the sales of securities, and other fixed or determinable income must report payments on the appropriate Form 1099 series form, unless an exception applies. It is not certain how income, if any, to be paid in respect of the Company’s Shares would be classified, albeit that we believe same would be deemed dividends. Payment information regarding U.S. taxpayers is generally reportable on a Form 1099 series form, and the Company will be required to obtain a Form W-9 from any U.S. taxpayer purchasers. Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) and Certification is used to determine whether to treat a payee or beneficial owner as a U.S. person. A payee must certify that he or she is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien). Form W-9 will require that the purchaser of our Units provide his or her TIN and certify that he or she is a U.S. person or a U.S. resident alien. If the Company would not receive a Form W-9, it must generally backup withhold at a 24-percent rate for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026, and report the payment on Form 1099. Collected backup withholding amounts, if any, must be reported on Form 945, Annual Return of Withheld Federal Income Tax.

A payor can treat a person as a “foreign person” if the payor can reliably associate the payment with documentation that establishes that the person is a foreign beneficial owner of the income or a foreign payee. A foreign person may not use Form W-9 to furnish his or her taxpayer identification number to a payor. Rather, foreign payees must use the appropriate Form W-8. The IRS Form W-8 series of forms is made up of certificates that are used to establish foreign status. A payor does not have to backup withhold on payments to foreign beneficial owners or foreign payees because backup withholding applies only to amounts that the payor must report on Form 1099.

Generally, all non-resident aliens and foreign corporations, foreign partnerships, and foreign trusts and estates, that
