 **Item 30. Indemnification**

Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its shareholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. The Registrant's charter contains such a provision which eliminates directors' and officers' liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

The Registrant's charter and bylaws obligate the Registrant to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act to indemnify any present or former director or officer and the Registrant's bylaws obligate the Registrant to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, to indemnify any individual who, while serving as the

Registrant's director or officer and at the Registrant's request, serves or has served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or employee benefit plan as a director, officer, partner, trustee employee, agent or fiduciary, from and against any claim or liability to which that person may become subject or which that person may incur by reason of his or her service in any such capacity and to pay or reimburse their reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. The bylaws also permit the Registrant to indemnify and advance expenses to any of the Registrant's employees or agents. In accordance with the 1940 Act, the Registrant's will not indemnify any person for any liability to which such person would be subject by reason of such person's willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which the Registrant's charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (1) was committed in bad faith or (2) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received unless, in either case, a court orders indemnification, and then only for expenses. In addition, Maryland law permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer in advance of final disposition of a proceeding upon the corporation's receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met. The advancement of expenses is subject to additional limitations pursuant to the 1940 Act.

**Section 9 of the Registrant's Investment Advisory Agreement provides as follows:**

9. Indemnity

(a) The Registrant hereby agrees to indemnify the Adviser and each of the Adviser's trustees, officers, employees, and agents (including any individual who serves at the Adviser's request as director, officer, partner, trustee or the like of another corporation) and controlling persons (each such person being an "indemnitee") against any liabilities and expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees (all as provided in accordance with applicable corporate law) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or investigative body in which he may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which he may be or may have been threatened, while acting in any capacity set forth above in this paragraph or thereafter by reason of his having acted in any such capacity, except with respect to any matter as to which he shall have been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Fund and furthermore, in the case of any criminal proceeding, so long as he had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful, provided, however, that (1) no indemnitee shall be indemnified hereunder against any liability to the Fund or its shareholders or any expense of such indemnitee arising by reason of (i) willful misfeasance, (ii) bad faith, (iii) gross negligence, (iv) reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his position (the conduct referred to in such clauses (i) through (v) being sometimes referred to herein as "disabling conduct"), (2) as to any matter disposed of by settlement or a compromise payment by such indemnitee, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, no indemnification either for said payment or for any other expenses shall be provided unless there has been a determination that such settlement or compromise is in the best interests of the Fund and that such indemnitee appears to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Fund and did not involve disabling conduct by such indemnitee and (3) with respect to any action, suit or other proceeding voluntarily prosecuted by any indemnitee as plaintiff, indemnification shall be mandatory only if the prosecution of such action, suit or other proceeding by such indemnitee was authorized by a majority of the full Board of the Fund.

Notwithstanding the foregoing the Fund shall not be obligated to provide any such indemnification to the extent such provision would waive any right which the Fund cannot lawfully waive.

(b) The Fund will make advance payments in connection with the expenses of defending any action with respect to which indemnification might be sought hereunder if the Fund receives a written affirmation of the indemnitee's good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification has been met and a written undertaking to reimburse the Fund unless it is subsequently determined that he is entitled to such indemnification and if the trustees of the Fund determine that the facts then known to them would not preclude indemnification. In addition, at least one of the following conditions must be met: (A) the indemnitee shall provide a security for his undertaking, (B) the Fund shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances, or (C) a majority of a quorum of trustees of the Fund who are neither "interested persons" of the Fund (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Act) nor parties to the proceeding ("Disinterested Non-Party Directors") or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall determine, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that there is reason to believe that the indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.

(c) All determinations with respect to indemnification hereunder shall be made (1) by a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that such indemnitee is not liable by reason of disabling conduct or, (2) in the absence of such a decision, by (i) a majority vote of a quorum of the Disinterested Non-party Directors of the Fund, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable or even, if obtainable, if a majority vote of such quorum so directs, independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

The rights accruing to any indemnitee under these provisions shall not exclude any other right to which he may be lawfully entitled.

<u>Other</u>

Underwriter indemnification provisions to be filed by amendment.

Additionally, the Registrant and the other funds in the Gabelli/GAMCO Fund Complex jointly maintain, at their own expense, E&O/D&O insurance policies for the benefit of its directors/trustees, officers and certain affiliated persons. The Registrant pays a pro rata portion of the premium on such insurance policies.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 **Item 31. Business and Other Connections of Investment Adviser**

The Investment Adviser, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New York, acts as investment adviser to the Registrant. The Registrant is fulfilling the requirement of this Item 31 to provide a list of the officers and directors of the Investment Adviser, together with information as to any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial nature engaged in by the Investment Adviser or those officers and directors during the past two years, by incorporating by reference the information contained in the Form ADV of the Investment Adviser filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Securities and Exchange Commission File No. 801-37706).

 **Item 32. Location of Accounts and Records**

The accounts and records of the Registrant are maintained in part at the office of the Investment Adviser at One Corporate Center, Rye, New York 10580-1422, in part at the offices of the Fund's custodian, State Street Bank and

Trust Company, State Street Financial Center, One Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02111, in part at the offices of the Fund's sub-administrator, Bank of New York Mellon, at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286, and in part at the offices of the Fund's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., at 462 South Fourth Street, Suite 1600, Louisville, KY 40202.

3. Registrant undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. to file, during a period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post- effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end
of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

Provided, however, that paragraphs a(1), a(2), and a(3) of this section do not apply to the extent the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. that for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) if the Registrant is subject to Rule 430B:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part
of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of
a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to
Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (x), or (xi) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities
Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is
first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As
provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be
deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that
prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided,
however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made
in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior
to such effective date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) if the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C: each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under
the Securities Act as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B
or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement
as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. that for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser
in the initial distribution of securities:

The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to the purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required
to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant
or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the portion of any other free writing prospectus or advertisement pursuant to Rule 482 under the
Securities Act relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by
or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

4. Not Applicabl <u>e</u>.

5. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under
 the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
 Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference
into the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

6. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

7. Registrant undertakes to send by first class mail or other means designed to ensure equally prompt delivery,
within two business days of receipt of a written or oral request, any prospectus or Statement of Additional Information.

8. Registrant undertakes to only offer rights to purchase common and preferred shares together after a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement relating to such rights has been declared effective.

**<u>SERIES G PREFERRED STOCK</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Number of Shares; Ranking</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The initial number of authorized shares constituting the Series G Preferred Stock to be issued is 1,500,000. No fractional shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall be issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Shares of Series G Preferred Stock which at any time have been redeemed or purchased by the Corporation shall, after such redemption or purchase, have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Series G Preferred Stock shall rank on a parity with any other series of Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, distributions, and liquidation preference to which such shares are entitled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) No holder of Series G Preferred Stock shall have, solely by reason of being such a holder, any preemptive or other right to acquire, purchase or subscribe for any Preferred Stock or Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation which it may hereafter issue or sell. No holder of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to exercise the rights of an objecting stockholder under Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") or any successor provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Dividends and Distributions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by, or under authority granted by, the Board of Directors and declared by the Corporation, out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative cash dividends and distributions at the rate of 5.20% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) of the Liquidation Preference on the Series G Preferred Stock and no more, payable semi-annually on June 26 and December 26 in each year (each a "Dividend Payment Date") commencing June 26, 2023 (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day). Dividends and distributions will be payable to holders of record of Series G Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock book of the Corporation at the close of business on the fifth Business Day preceding the Dividend Payment Date (each, a "<u>Record Date</u>") in preference to dividends and distributions on Common Stock and any other capital shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series G Preferred Stock in payment of dividends and distributions. Dividends and distributions on Series G Preferred Stock that were originally issued on the Date of Original Issue shall accumulate from the Date of Original Issue. Dividends and distributions on all other Series G Preferred Stock shall accumulate from (i) the date on which such shares are originally issued if such date is a Dividend Payment Date, (ii) the immediately preceding Dividend Payment Date if the date on which such shares are originally issued is other than a Dividend Payment Date and is on or before a Record Date or (iii) the immediately following Dividend Payment Date if the date on which such shares are originally issued is during the period between a Record Date and a Dividend Payment Date. Each period beginning on and including a Dividend Payment Date (or the Date of Original Issue, in the case of the first dividend period after the issuance of such shares) and ending on but excluding the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date is referred to herein as a "<u>Dividend Period</u>." Dividends and distributions on account of arrears for any past Dividend Period or in connection with the redemption of Series G Preferred Stock may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date not exceeding 30 days preceding the payment date thereof as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors.

(b)(i) No full dividends or distributions shall be declared or paid on shares of Series G Preferred Stock for any Dividend Period or part thereof unless full cumulative dividends and

distributions due through the most recent Dividend Payment Dates therefor for all series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series G Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and distributions have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid through the most recent Dividend Payment Dates therefor. If full cumulative dividends and distributions due have not been paid on all Outstanding shares of such Preferred Stock, any dividends and distributions being paid on such shares of Preferred Stock (including the Series G Preferred Stock) will be paid as nearly pro rata as possible in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends and distributions accumulated but unpaid on each such series of Preferred Stock on the relevant Dividend Payment Date. No holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to any dividends or distributions, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends and distributions as provided in this paragraph 2(b)(i) on shares of Series G Preferred Stock. No interest or sum of money in lieu of interest shall be payable in respect of any dividend payments on any shares of Series G Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) For so long as shares of Series G Preferred Stock are Outstanding, the Corporation shall not pay any dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend or distribution paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase, Common Stock or other stock, if any, ranking junior to the Series G Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation) in respect of the Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series G Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, or call for redemption, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series G Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation (except by conversion into or exchange for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series G Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation), unless, in each case, (A) immediately thereafter, the Corporation shall have Asset Coverage, (B) all cumulative dividends and distributions on all shares of Series G Preferred Stock due on or prior to the date of the transaction have been declared and paid (or shall have been declared and sufficient funds for the payment thereof deposited with the applicable Dividend-Disbursing Agent) and (C) the Corporation has redeemed the full number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock to be redeemed mandatorily pursuant to any provision contained herein for mandatory redemption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Any dividend payment made on the shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the dividends and distributions accumulated with respect to the earliest Dividend Period for which dividends and distributions have not been paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Not later than the Business Day immediately preceding each Dividend Payment Date, the Corporation shall deposit with the Dividend-Disbursing Agent Deposit Assets having an initial combined value sufficient to pay the dividends and distributions that are payable on such Dividend Payment Date, which Deposit Assets shall mature (if such assets constitute debt securities or time deposits) on or prior to such Dividend Payment Date. The Corporation may direct the Dividend-Disbursing Agent with respect to the investment of any such Deposit Assets, provided that such investment consists exclusively of Deposit Assets and provided further that the proceeds of any such investment will be available at the opening of business on such Dividend Payment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Liquidation Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders, after satisfying claims of creditors but before any distribution or payment shall be made in respect of the Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series G Preferred Stock as to liquidation payments, a liquidation distribution in the amount of $10.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends and distributions accumulated to and including the date fixed for such distribution or payment (whether or not earned or declared by the Corporation, but excluding interest thereon), and such holders shall be entitled to no further participation in any distribution or payment in connection with any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution among the holders of all Outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock, and any other Outstanding shares of a class or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series G Preferred Stock as to payment upon liquidation, shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to such holders of Series G Preferred Stock of the Liquidation Preference plus accumulated and unpaid dividends and distributions and the amounts due upon liquidation with respect to such other Preferred Stock, then such available assets shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock and such other Preferred Stock ratably in proportion to the respective preferential liquidation amounts to which they are entitled. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles Supplementary, Series G Preferred Stock submitted for redemption pursuant to paragraph 4(c) hereof will remain subject to the foregoing liquidation terms until the applicable Redemption Date. Unless and until the Liquidation Preference plus accumulated and unpaid dividends and distributions has been paid in full to the holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock, no dividends or distributions will be made to holders of the Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series G Preferred Stock as to liquidation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Redemption</u>.

Shares of the Series G Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Corporation as provided below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Mandatory Redemptions</u>.

The Corporation is required to redeem the Series G Preferred Stock on June 26, 2025 at a price equal to the Liquidation Preference plus accumulated but unpaid dividends and distributions (whether or not earned or declared by the Corporation) to, but not including, the date of redemption (the "Redemption Price"). If the Corporation is required to redeem any shares of Preferred Stock (which may include Series G Preferred Stock) prior to June 26, 2025, pursuant to paragraph 6(b) of Article II hereof, then the Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and Maryland law, by the close of business on such Series G Asset Coverage Cure Date (herein referred to as a "Cure Date") fix a redemption date and proceed to redeem

shares as set forth in paragraph 4(d) hereof. On such redemption date, the Corporation shall redeem, out of funds legally available therefor, the number of shares of Preferred Stock, which, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and Maryland law, at the option of the Corporation may include any proportion of Series G Preferred Stock or any other series of Preferred Stock, equal to the minimum number of shares the redemption of which, if such redemption had occurred immediately prior to the opening of business on such Cure Date, would have resulted in the Corporation having Asset Coverage immediately prior to the opening of business on such Cure Date or, if Asset Coverage cannot be so restored, all of the Outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock, at a price equal to the Redemption Price. In the event that shares of Preferred Stock are redeemed pursuant to paragraph 6(b) of Article II hereof, the Corporation may, but is not required to, redeem an additional number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to this paragraph 4(a) which, when aggregated with other shares of Preferred Stock redeemed by the Corporation, permits the Corporation to have with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock (including the Series G Preferred Stock) remaining Outstanding after such redemption Asset Coverage of as much as 220%. In the event that all of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock then Outstanding are required to be redeemed pursuant to paragraph 6 of Article II hereof, the Corporation shall redeem such shares at the Redemption Price and proceed to do so as set forth in paragraph 4(d) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Optional Redemptions</u>.

The shares of Series G Preferred Stock are not subject to optional redemption by the Corporation unless such redemption is necessary, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, to maintain the Corporation's status as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Holder Put Option</u>.

The Corporation will redeem all or any shares of the Series G Preferred Stock that holders have properly submitted for redemption and not withdrawn during the 60-day period prior to each of December 26, 2023 and December 26, 2024 at the Redemption Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Procedures for Redemption</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If the Corporation shall determine or be required to redeem shares of Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph 4(a) or 4(b), it shall mail a written notice of redemption ("Notice of Redemption") with respect to such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of the shares to be redeemed at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock books of the Corporation on the close of business on such date as the Board of Directors or its delegatee may determine, which date shall not be earlier than the second Business Day prior to the date upon which such Notice of Redemption is mailed to the holders of Series G Preferred Stock. Each such Notice of Redemption shall state: (A) the redemption date as established by the Board of Directors or its delegatee; (B) the number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (C) the CUSIP number of such shares; (D) the Redemption Price (specifying the amount of accumulated dividends and distributions to be included therein); (E) the place or places where the certificate(s) for such shares (properly endorsed or assigned for

transfer, if the Board of Directors or its delegatee shall so require and the Notice of Redemption shall so state), if any, are to be surrendered for payment in respect of such redemption; (F) that dividends and distributions on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date; (G) the provisions of this paragraph 4 under which such redemption is made; and (H) in the case of a redemption pursuant to paragraph 4(b), any conditions precedent to such redemption. If fewer than all shares of Series G Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the Notice of Redemption mailed to such holder also shall specify the number or percentage of shares to be redeemed from such holder. No defect in the Notice of Redemption or the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the redemption proceedings, except as required by applicable law. The Notice of Redemption shall be mailed to the holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock to be redeemed not fewer than 15 days nor more than 40 days prior to the date fixed for redemption; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that shorter notice may be given in the case of a redemption pursuant to paragraph 4(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If the Corporation shall give a Notice of Redemption, then by the close of business on the Business Day preceding the redemption date specified in the Notice of Redemption (so long as any conditions precedent to such redemption have been met) or, if the Dividend-Disbursing Agent so agrees, another date not later than the redemption date, the Corporation shall (A) deposit with the Dividend-Disbursing Agent Deposit Assets that shall mature (if such assets constitute debt securities or time deposits) on or prior to such redemption date having an initial combined value sufficient to effect the redemption of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock to be redeemed and (B) give the Dividend-Disbursing Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the holders of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock called for redemption on the redemption date. The Corporation may direct the Dividend-Disbursing Agent with respect to the investment of any Deposit Assets so deposited provided that the proceeds of any such investment will be available at the opening of business on such redemption date. Upon the date of such deposit (unless the Corporation shall default in making payment of the Redemption Price), all rights of the holders of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease and terminate except the right of the holders thereof to receive the Redemption Price thereof and such shares shall no longer be deemed Outstanding for any purpose. The Corporation shall be entitled to receive, promptly after the date fixed for redemption, any cash in excess of the aggregate Redemption Price of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock called for redemption on such date and any remaining Deposit Assets. Any assets so deposited that are unclaimed at the end of two years from such redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be repaid to the Corporation, after which the holders of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the Corporation for payment of the Redemption Price thereof. The Corporation shall be entitled to receive, from time to time after the date fixed for redemption, any interest on the Deposit Assets so deposited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) On or after the redemption date, each holder of shares of Series G Preferred Stock that are subject to redemption shall surrender such shares to the Corporation as instructed in the Notice of Redemption and shall then be entitled to receive the cash Redemption Price, without interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) In the case of any redemption of less than all of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to these Articles Supplementary, such redemption shall be made pro rata from each holder of shares of Series G Preferred Stock in accordance with the respective number of shares held by each such holder on the record date for such redemption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this paragraph 4, the Corporation shall not redeem any shares of Series G Preferred Stock unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends and distributions on all Outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock and other Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series G Preferred Stock with respect to dividends and distributions for all applicable past Dividend Periods (whether or not earned or declared by the Corporation) shall have been or are contemporaneously paid or declared and Deposit Assets for the payment of such dividends and distributions shall have been deposited with the Dividend-Disbursing Agent as set forth in paragraph 2(c) of Article II hereof; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition of Outstanding shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to the successful completion of an otherwise lawful purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all Outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock.

If the Corporation shall not have funds legally available for the redemption of, or is otherwise unable to redeem, all the shares of the Series G Preferred Stock or other Preferred Stock designated to be redeemed on any redemption date, the Corporation shall redeem on such redemption date the number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock and other Preferred Stock so designated as it shall have legally available funds, or is otherwise able, to redeem ratably on the basis of the Redemption Price from each holder whose shares are to be redeemed, and the remainder of the shares of the Series G Preferred Stock and other Preferred Stock designated to be redeemed shall be redeemed on the earliest practicable date on which the Corporation shall have funds legally available for the redemption of, or is otherwise able to redeem, such shares upon Notice of Redemption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Voting Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>General</u>.

Except as otherwise provided in the Governing Documents or a resolution of the Board of Directors, or as required by applicable law, holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall have no power to vote on any matter except matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock. In any matter submitted to a vote of the holders of the Common Stock, each holder of shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Series G Preferred Stock held and the holders of the Outstanding Preferred Stock, including Series G Preferred Stock, and the Common Stock shall vote together as a single class; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the holders of the Outstanding Preferred Stock, including Series G Preferred Stock, shall be entitled, as a separate class, to the exclusion of the holders of all other securities and classes of capital shares of the Corporation, to elect two of the Corporation's directors. Subject to paragraph 5(b) of Article II hereof, the holders of the outstanding capital shares of the

Corporation, including the holders of the Outstanding Preferred Stock, including the Series G Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, shall elect the balance of the directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Right to Elect Majority of Board of Directors</u>.

During any period in which any one or more of the conditions described below shall exist (such period being referred to herein as a "Voting Period"), the number and/or composition of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be automatically adjusted as necessary to permit the holders of Outstanding Preferred Stock, including the Series G Preferred Stock, voting separately as one class (to the exclusion of the holders of all other securities and classes of capital shares of the Corporation) to elect the number of directors that, when added to the two directors elected exclusively by the holders of Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph 5(a) above, would constitute a simple majority of the Board of Directors as so adjusted. The Corporation and the Board of Directors shall take all necessary actions to effect an adjustment of the number and/or composition of directors as described in the preceding sentence. A Voting Period shall commence:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) if at any time accumulated dividends and distributions (whether or not earned or declared, and whether or not funds are then legally available in an amount sufficient therefor) on the Outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock equal to at least two full years' dividends and distributions shall be due and unpaid and sufficient Deposit Assets shall not have been deposited with the Dividend-Disbursing Agent for the payment of such accumulated dividends and distributions; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if at any time holders of any other shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to elect a majority of the directors of the Corporation under the 1940 Act or Articles Supplementary creating such shares.

Upon the termination of a Voting Period, the voting rights described in this paragraph 5(b) shall cease, subject always, however, to the reverting of such voting rights in the holders of Preferred Stock upon the further occurrence of any of the events described in this paragraph 5(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Right to Vote with Respect to Certain Other Matters</u>.

Subject to paragraph 1 of Article III of these Articles Supplementary, so long as any shares of Series G Preferred Stock are Outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the shares of Preferred Stock Outstanding at the time, voting separately as one class, amend, alter or repeal the provisions of these Articles Supplementary so as to in the aggregate materially and adversely affect the rights and preferences set forth in any Articles Supplementary, including the Series G Preferred Stock. To the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, in the event that more than one series of Preferred Stock are Outstanding, the Corporation shall not effect any of the actions set forth in the preceding sentence which in the aggregate materially and adversely affects the rights and preferences set forth in the Articles Supplementary for a series of Preferred Stock differently than such rights and preferences for any other series of Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Preferred Stock Outstanding of each series

materially and adversely affected (each such materially and adversely affected series voting separately as a class to the extent its rights are affected differently). The holders of shares of the Series G Preferred Stock shall have exclusive voting rights on a Charter amendment that would alter only the contract rights of the Series G Preferred Stock, as expressly set forth in these terms of the Series G Preferred Stock. The holders of shares of the Series G Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any matter that affects the rights or interests of only one or more other series of Preferred Stock. Unless a higher percentage is required under the Governing Documents or applicable provisions of Maryland law or the 1940 Act, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, including Series G Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, will be required to approve any plan of reorganization materially and adversely affecting the Preferred Stock or any action requiring a vote of security holders under Section 13(a) of the 1940 Act. For purposes of this paragraph 5(c), the phrase "vote of the holders of a majority of the Outstanding shares of Preferred Stock" (or any like phrase) shall mean, in accordance with Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act, the vote, at the annual or a special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation duly called (i) of 67 percent or more of the shares of Preferred Stock present at such meeting, if the holders of more than 50 percent of the Outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are present or represented by proxy; or (ii) of more than 50 percent of the Outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, whichever is less. The class vote of holders of shares of Preferred Stock described above will in each case be in addition to a separate vote of the requisite percentage of shares of Common Stock and shares of Preferred Stock, including Series G Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, necessary to authorize the action in question. An increase in the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Governing Documents or the issuance of additional shares of any series of Preferred Stock (including Series G Preferred Stock) pursuant to the Governing Documents shall not in and of itself be considered to materially and adversely affect the rights and preferences of the holders of Series G Preferred Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Voting Procedures</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) As soon as practicable after the accrual of any right of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors as described in paragraph 5(b) above, the Corporation shall call a special meeting of such holders and instruct the Dividend-Disbursing Agent to mail a notice of such special meeting to such holders, such meeting to be held not less than 10 nor more than 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice. If the Corporation fails to send such notice to the Dividend-Disbursing Agent or if the Corporation does not call such a special meeting, it may be called by any such holder on like notice. The record date for determining the holders entitled to notice of and to vote at such special meeting shall be the close of business on the day on which such notice is mailed or such other date as the Board of Directors shall determine. At any such special meeting and at each meeting held during a Voting Period, such holders of Preferred Stock, voting together as a class (to the exclusion of the holders of all other securities and classes of capital stock of the Corporation), shall be entitled to elect the number of directors prescribed in paragraph 5(b) above on a one-vote-per-share basis.

provisions of the Governing Documents, by statute or otherwise, a share of Series G Preferred Stock which is not Outstanding shall not be counted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The terms of office of all persons who are directors of the Corporation at the time of a special meeting of holders of Preferred Stock to elect directors and who remain directors following such meeting shall continue, notwithstanding the election at such meeting by such holders of the number of directors that they are entitled to elect, and the persons so elected by such holders, together with the two incumbent directors elected by the holders of Preferred Stock and the remaining incumbent directors elected by the holders of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock, shall constitute the duly elected directors of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Upon the expiration of a Voting Period, the terms of office of the additional directors elected by the holders of Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph 5(b) above shall expire, and the remaining directors shall constitute the directors of the Corporation and the voting rights of such holders of Preferred Stock, including Series G Preferred Stock, to elect additional directors pursuant to paragraph 5(b) above shall cease, subject to the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph 5(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Determination of Compliance</u>.

For so long as any shares of Series G Preferred Stock are Outstanding, the Corporation shall make the following determination:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Asset Coverage</u>. The Corporation shall have Asset Coverage as of the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year in which any share of Series G Preferred Stock is Outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Failure to Meet Asset Coverage</u>.

If the Corporation fails to have Asset Coverage as provided in paragraph 6(a)(i) hereof and such failure is not cured as of the related Series G Asset Coverage Cure Date, (i) the Corporation shall give a Notice of Redemption as described in paragraph 4 of Article II hereof with respect to the redemption of a sufficient number of shares of Preferred Stock, which at the

Corporation's determination (to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and Maryland law) may include any proportion of Series G Preferred Stock, to enable it to meet the requirements of paragraph 6(a)(i) above, and, at the Corporation's discretion, such additional number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock or other Preferred Stock in order that the Corporation have Asset Coverage with respect to the shares of Series G Preferred Stock and any other Preferred Stock remaining Outstanding after such redemption as great as 220%, and (ii) deposit with the Dividend-Disbursing Agent Deposit Securities having an initial combined value sufficient to effect the redemption of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock or other Preferred Stock to be redeemed, as contemplated by paragraph 4 of Article II hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Status of Shares Called for Redemption</u>.

For purposes of determining whether the requirements of paragraph 6(a)(i) hereof are satisfied, (i) no share of the Series G Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be Outstanding for purposes of any computation if, prior to or concurrently with such determination, sufficient Deposit Assets to pay the full Redemption Price for such share shall have been deposited in trust with the Dividend-Disbursing Agent (or applicable paying agent) and the requisite Notice of Redemption shall have been given, and (ii) such Deposit Assets deposited with the Dividend-Disbursing Agent (or paying agent) shall not be included.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Issuance of Additional Preferred Stock</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) So long as any shares of Series G Preferred Stock are Outstanding, the Corporation may issue and sell one or more series of a class of senior securities of the Corporation representing indebtedness under Section 18 of the 1940 Act and/or otherwise create or incur indebtedness, provided that, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness and to its receipt and application of the proceeds thereof, the Corporation shall have an "asset coverage" for all senior securities representing indebtedness, as defined in Section 18(h) of the 1940 Act, of at least 300% of the amount of all indebtedness of the Corporation then Outstanding and no such additional indebtedness shall have any preference or priority over any other indebtedness of the Corporation upon the distribution of the assets of the Corporation or in respect of the payment of interest. Any possible liability resulting from lending and/or borrowing portfolio securities, entering into reverse repurchase agreements, entering into futures contracts and writing options, to the extent such transactions are made in accordance with the investment restrictions of the Corporation then in effect, shall not be considered to be indebtedness limited by this paragraph 7(a) unless the application of the rules promulgated under section 18 of the 1940 Act require otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) So long as any shares of Series G Preferred Stock are Outstanding, the Corporation may issue and sell shares of one or more other series of Preferred Stock constituting a series of a class of senior securities of the Corporation representing stock under Section 18 of the 1940 Act in addition to the shares of Series G Preferred Stock and other Preferred Stock then Outstanding, provided that (i) the Corporation shall, immediately after giving effect to the issuance of such additional Preferred Stock and to its receipt and application of the proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, to the redemption of Preferred Stock for which a Notice of Redemption has been mailed prior to such issuance, have an "asset coverage" for all senior

securities which are stock, as defined in Section 18(h) of the 1940 Act, of at least 200% of the sum of the Liquidation Preference of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock and all other Preferred Stock of the Corporation then Outstanding, and (ii) no such additional Preferred Stock shall have any preference or priority over any other Preferred Stock of the Corporation upon liquidation or the distribution of the assets of the Corporation or in respect of the payment of dividends.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Treatment of the Series G Preferred Stock for Tax Purposes</u>

**AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS**

**OF**

**THE GABELLI CONVERTIBLE AND INCOME SECURITIES FUND INC.**

**Effective: February 16, 2023**

On February 16, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The Gabelli Convertible and Income Securities Fund Inc. (the "Corporation"), in accordance with the Corporation's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), as amended, and the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL"), approved and adopted the following amendment to the Bylaws, to be effective immediately:

New Article V, Section 7., is hereby added to the Bylaws as follows:

ARTICLE V

Section 7. <u>CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITION ACT</u>. Pursuant to Section 3-702(c)(4) of the MGCL, the Board of Directors has adopted a resolution that the Corporation shall be subject to Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the MGCL (the "Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act" or the "Act"). Notwithstanding the Board of Directors' election or any prior provision of these Bylaws to the contrary, (a) no holder of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to exercise the rights of an objecting stockholder under Section 3-708 of the MGCL; (b) the Act shall not apply to the voting rights of any person acquiring (i) shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation other than common stock or (ii) shares of stock of the Corporation in a control share acquisition (as defined in the Act) if, prior to the acquisition, the person obtains approval of the Board of Directors exempting the acquisition from the Act specifically, generally, or generally by type, which exemption may include the person and the person's affiliates or associates or other persons; and (c) to the extent that any provisions of the Act are determined to be inconsistent with the Investment Company Act, then any such provisions shall not apply. This section may be amended or repealed, in whole or in part, at any time, whether before or after an acquisition of control shares and, upon effectiveness of such amendment or repeal, may, subject to any successor bylaw provision, apply to any subsequent control share acquisition.
