ca, Morris, Rogers
and Strauss and Ms. Malzahn, all of whom are Independent Directors. The N&CG Committee has a written charter. In addition to its
responsibility to oversee the corporate governance of the Fund, the N&CG Committee’s principal function is to identify and
select qualified candidates for the Board who have exhibited strong decision-making ability, substantial business experience, relevant
knowledge of the investment company industry (including closed-end funds), skills or technological expertise and exemplary personal integrity
and reputation. In addition, the N&CG Committee seeks candidates that have experience and knowledge involving all of the service
providers of a registered investment company.

The N&CG Committee will consider all nominees
recommended by stockholders of the Fund, so long as stockholders send their recommendations in writing to the Secretary of the Fund in
a manner consistent with the Fund’s By-laws. Specifically, the N&CG Committee assesses all director nominees taking into account
several factors, including, but not limited to, issues such as the current needs of the Board and the nominee’s: (i) integrity,
honesty, and accountability; (ii) successful leadership experience and strong business acumen; (iii) forward-looking, strategic focus;
(iv) collegiality; (v) independence and absence of conflicts of interests; and (vi) ability to devote necessary time to meet Director
responsibilities. The N&CG Committee does not have a policy with regard to considering diversity when identifying candidates for
election, but would expect to consider racial, gender and professional experience diversity when identifying future candidates. The N&CG
Committee will ultimately recommend nominees that it believes will enhance the Board’s ability to effectively oversee, in an effective
manner, the affairs and business of the Fund. The N&CG Committee will consider and evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by
applying the same criteria used to evaluate director-recommended candidates. The deadline for submitting a stockholder proposal for inclusion
in the Fund’s proxy statement and proxy for the Fund’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is October 28, 2025. Stockholders wishing to submit proposals or director nominations
that are to be included in such proxy statement and proxy must have delivered notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices
of the Fund not later than the close of business on October 28, 2025.
