**QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS**

This is a brief overview of matters relating to the Annual Meeting of the shareholders of Bluerock Private Real Estate Fund (the "Fund") to be held on August 4, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time (the "Annual Meeting") called by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees"). You are encouraged to read the full text of the enclosed Proxy Statement. However, the Board thought it would be helpful to provide brief answers to some questions, including with respect to the various proposals (together, the "Proposals" and each, a "Proposal") on which shareholders of the Fund will be asked to vote at the Annual Meeting.

**Q: Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?**

A: The Fund is required to hold an annual meeting of shareholders for the election of certain Trustees. As a shareholder of record on June 15, 2026, you will be asked to vote to approve the Proposals at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement provides you with important information to inform your vote. We encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed Proxy Statement to obtain a more detailed understanding of the Proposals.

**Q: Is my vote important?**

A: Absolutely, even if you only hold a few shares. Your vote is very important and can make a difference in the governance and management of your Fund. While the Board has carefully reviewed the Proposals and unanimously recommends them, the Proposals cannot go forward without the approval of shareholders. The Fund may continue to contact shareholders asking them to vote until it is certain that a quorum will be reached.

**Q: What are the Proposals?**

A: At the Annual Meeting, shareholders are being asked to re-elect I. Bobby Majumder and Romano Tio to serve as Trustees of the Fund (Proposal 1) and to ratify the selection of Cohen & Company, Ltd, as the Fund's independent registered public accountant for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026 (Proposal 2).

**Q: Who will pay for the proxy solicitation and related legal costs?**

A: The costs of preparing and mailing the proxy statement and soliciting proxies will be borne by the Fund.

**Q: Do I have appraisal or dissenters' rights?**

A: No. There are no appraisal or dissenters' rights associated with the Proposals.

**Q: Why am I being asked to elect Trustees at the Annual Meeting?** 

A: As a shareholder, you are being asked to vote to re-elect each of I. Bobby Majumder and Romano Tio to continue to serve as Trustees of the Fund. Messrs. Majumder and Tio are Class I Trustees, with terms ending as of the later of the date of the Annual Meeting or until his successor is elected and qualifies. The Board recommends re-electing Messrs. Majumder and Tio to serve an additional 3-year term, ending at the Fund's 2029 annual meeting.

The Board currently consists of six Trustees — I. Bobby Majumder, Romano Tio, Kamal Jafarnia, Ramin Kamfar, Ryan MacDonald, and S. Sori Farsheed — four of whom (Messrs. Majumder, Tio and Jafarnia

and Ms. Farsheed) are Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") ("Independent Trustees"). Shareholders have previously elected each of Messrs. Majumder and Tio as Class I Trustees, with terms ending at the 2026 annual meeting; Mr. Kamfar and Ms. Farsheed as Class II Trustees, with terms ending at the 2027 annual meeting; and Messrs. MacDonald and Jafarnia as Class III Trustees, with terms ending at the 2028 annual meeting.

I. Bobby Majumder and Romano Tio are standing for re-election as Class I Trustees. Each Class I Trustee elected at the meeting will serve until the later of the date of the Fund's 2029 annual meeting or until his successor is elected and qualifies, or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal.

Each of the Trustee Nominees has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a Trustee if elected. See biographies for the Trustee Nominees at "*Trustee Nominee Qualifications.*"

**Q: Will anyone contact me?**

A: You may receive a call from representatives of Sodali Fund Solutions ("SFS"), the proxy solicitor hired by the Fund, to verify that you received your proxy materials, to answer any questions you may have about the Proposals, and to encourage you to vote your proxy.

**Q: What votes are needed to approve the Proposals?**

A: An affirmative vote of a plurality of all votes is required for the approval of Proposal 1. Under the plurality vote standard, Trustee positions are filled by nominees who receive the largest number of votes until all vacancies are filled. A majority of the Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum at such meeting. Abstentions will not be counted as Shares voted with respect to this proposal, but they will count toward the establishment of a quorum. The New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") considers the Trustee election proposal to be a routine matter, and therefore a broker may use its discretionary power to vote on that Proposal.

Under our bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of Shares present in person or by proxy at a Shareholders' meeting at which a quorum is present is required to approve Proposal 2. A majority of the Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum at such meeting. Abstentions will not be counted as Shares voted with respect to this proposal, but they will count toward the establishment of a quorum. The NYSE considers the auditor ratification proposal to be a routine matter, and therefore a broker may use its discretionary power to vote on that Proposal.

**Q: How does the Board recommend that I vote?**

A: After careful consideration of the Proposals and all available alternatives, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously recommends that shareholders vote "FOR" each Trustee Nominee in Proposal 1 and "FOR" Proposal 2.

**Q: What is the deadline for submitting my vote?**

A: We encourage you to vote as soon as possible to make sure that the Fund receives enough votes to act on the Proposals. Unless you attend the Annual Meeting to vote in person, your vote (cast by Internet, telephone or paper proxy card as described below) must be received by the Fund by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 3, 2026.

**Q: Whom should I call if I have questions?**

A: If you have any questions about the proxy material or about how to vote, you may call SFS at: 1-888-685-5149 and a representative will assist you. If you have any questions prior to the Annual Meeting, please call SFS at: 1-888-685-5149. For technical assistance during the Annual Meeting, please contact SFS at: SFS-Info@Sodali.com or call 1-888-685-5149. If you have questions about the Fund, please call the Fund's toll-free phone number 844-819-8287.

**Q: How do I participate in the Annual Meeting?**

A: To participate in the Annual Meeting, you must request the Annual Meeting credentials by emailing sfs-meetinginfo@sodali.com. Please include your full name and address, your control number found on your enclosed proxy card and your intent to attend the virtual Annual Meeting.

**PROPOSAL 1: TO APPROVE THE ELECTION OF EACH OF I. BOBBY MAJUMDER AND ROMANO TIO TO SERVE AS A TRUSTEE OF THE FUND.**

The Board unanimously recommends that the shareholders of the Fund re-elect each of I. Bobby Majumder and Romano Tio to serve as a Trustee on the Board.

***<u>Background</u>***

The Board currently consists of six individuals (I. Bobby Majumder, Romano Tio, Ramin Kamfar, S. Sori Farsheed, Ryan MacDonald and Kamal Jafarnia), four of whom (Messrs. Majumder, Tio and Jafarnia and Ms. Farsheed) are not "interested persons" (as defined under the 1940 Act) of the Fund, the Fund's investment advisor (the "Advisor"), any sub-advisor, or distributor ("Independent Trustees").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I. Bobby Majumder and Romano Tio are standing for re-election as Class I Trustees. Each Class I Trustee elected at the Annual Meeting will serve for a three (3) year term that expires on the date of the Fund's 2029 annual meeting, or special meeting in lieu thereof at which Trustees are elected, following the meeting at which such succeeding Trustees were elected, or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal.

Each Trustee Nominee has indicated that he is willing and able to serve or continue to serve on the Board, and the Board has no reason to believe that any Trustee Nominee will be unavailable to serve as Trustee. If any Trustee Nominee becomes unavailable to serve for any reason, the persons named as proxies will vote for such other nominees nominated by the Nominating and Governance Committee. Under the Fund's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (the "Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust") and Second Amended and Restated By-Laws (the "Amended and Restated By-Laws"), each Trustee duly elected shall hold office until the expiration of his or her term and his or her successor shall have been elected at a meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of electing Trustees and shall have qualified, with certain exceptions.

<u>Trustee Nominee Qualifications</u>

The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board is responsible for identifying, evaluating and recommending candidates for service on the Board. In assessing potential Trustee candidates, the Nominating and Governance Committee reviews such candidates' experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taking a variety of factors into account. Trustees selected to serve on the Board are expected to be individuals of the highest character and integrity and are expected to demonstrate, among other characteristics, an ability to think and act independently, the capacity to work in a collegial manner with others, and notable or significant achievement and are expected to possess senior-level business, management or regulatory experience that would benefit the Fund. In addition to considering whether an individual Trustee candidate meets the Committee's established criteria, the Nominating and Governance Committee may also consider the current composition of the Board and the interplay of a candidate's individual experiences, lifestyle, education, skills, economic circumstances, background and other qualities and attributes with those of the other Board members. The following is a brief summary of the information that led to the conclusion that each Trustee Nominee should serve as a Trustee:

***<u>Information about the Board</u>***

The Board has overall responsibility to manage and control the business affairs of the Fund, including the complete and exclusive authority to oversee and to establish policies regarding the management, conduct and operation of the Fund's business. The Board exercises the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Fund as are customarily exercised by the board of directors of a registered investment company organized as a corporation. The business of the Fund is managed under the direction of the Board in accordance with the Fund's Governing Documents, each as amended from time to time, which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and are available upon request. The Board currently consists of six individuals, four of whom are Independent Trustees. Pursuant to the Governing Documents of the Fund, the Trustees shall elect officers including a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, a Principal Executive Officer and a Principal Financial Officer. The Board retains the power to conduct, operate and carry on the business of the Fund and has the power to incur and pay any expenses, which, in the opinion of the Board, are necessary or incidental to carry out any of the Fund's purposes. The Trustees, officers, employees and agents of the Fund, when acting in such capacities, shall not be subject to any personal liability except for his or her own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties.

<u>Board Leadership Structure</u>

The Fund is led by Mr. Ramin Kamfar, who has served as the Chairman of the Board since the Fund was organized in 2012. Additionally, under certain 1940 Act governance guidelines that apply to the Fund, the Independent Trustees will meet in executive session, at least quarterly. Under the Fund's Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, the Chairman of the Board is responsible for (a) presiding at board meetings, (b) calling special meetings on an as-needed basis, (c) execution and administration of Fund policies including (i) setting the agendas for board meetings and (ii) providing information to board members in advance of each board meeting and between board meetings. The Fund believes that its Chairman, the chair of the Audit Committee, and, as an entity, the full Board, provide effective leadership that is in the best interests of the Fund and each shareholder.

<u>Board Risk Oversight</u>

The Board is comprised of six Trustees, four of whom are Independent Trustees, with a standing independent Audit Committee with a separate chair, and a standing independent Nominating and Governance Committee.

The Board is responsible for overseeing risk management, and the full Board regularly engages in discussions of risk management and receives compliance reports that inform its oversight of risk management from the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer at quarterly meetings and on an ad hoc basis, when and if necessary. The Audit Committee considers financial and reporting risk within its area of responsibilities. The Nominating and Governance Committee considers and evaluates the structure, composition and operation of the Board, including any committees, evaluates and recommends individuals to serve on the Board, and considers and makes recommendations relating to the compensation of the Independent Trustees. Generally, the Board believes that its oversight of material risks is adequately maintained through the compliance-reporting chain where the Chief Compliance Officer is the primary recipient and communicator of such risk-related information. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, there were six Board meetings, three meetings of the Fund's Audit Committee, and two of the Nominating and Governance Committee. Each Trustee then in office attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which the Trustee served. The Fund does not currently have a formal policy regarding Trustees' attendance at annual shareholders' meetings. The Fund did not hold an annual meeting at which Trustees were elected during its last fiscal year.

Following is a list of the Trustees and executive officers of the Fund and their principal occupations over the last five years. Unless otherwise noted, the address of each Trustee and Officer is c/o ALPS Fund Services, Inc., 1290 Broadway, Suite 1000, Denver, CO 80203.

**Board Committees**

<u>Audit Committee</u>

The Board has an Audit Committee that consists of each Trustee that is not an "interested person" of the Fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act (Messrs. Majumder, Tio and Jafarnia and Ms. Farsheed). The Audit Committee's responsibilities include: (i) recommending to the Board the selection, retention or termination of the Fund's independent auditors; (ii) reviewing with the independent auditors the scope, performance and anticipated cost of their audit; (iii) discussing with the independent auditors certain matters relating to the Fund's financial statements, including any adjustment to such financial statements recommended by such independent auditors, or any other results of any audit; (iv) reviewing on a periodic basis a formal written statement from the independent auditors with respect to their independence, discussing with the independent auditors any relationships or services disclosed in the statement that may impact the objectivity and independence of the Fund's independent auditors and recommending that the Board take appropriate action in response thereto to satisfy itself of the auditor's independence; and (v) considering the comments of the independent auditors and management's responses thereto with respect to the quality and adequacy of the Fund's accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and internal controls. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to an Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is available online at https://bluerock.com/bluerock-private-real-estate-fund/investor-relations/.

<u>Nominating and Governance Committee</u>

The Board has a Nominating and Governance Committee that consists of each Trustee that is not an "interested person" of the Fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act (Messrs. Majumder, Tio and Jafarnia and Ms. Farsheed). The Nominating and Governance Committee's responsibilities include: (i) nominating individuals to serve as both Independent Trustees and interested Trustees; (ii) establishing and maintaining guidelines for selecting candidates for election to the Board; (iii) reviewing periodically the size and composition of the Board as a whole; (iv) evaluating annually the operations of the Board and its committees and assisting the Board in conducting its annual self-evaluation; (v) reviewing, as necessary, the responsibilities of any committees of the Board; (vi) reviewing Trustee compensation annually; and (vii) reviewing periodically the Board's, and all Board committee's corporate governance policies and practices and recommends, as it deems appropriate, any changes to the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee operates pursuant to a Nominating and Governance Committee Charter, a copy of which is available online at https://bluerock.com/bluerock-private-real-estate-fund/investor-relations/.

***<u>Trustee Candidate Nomination Process</u>***

The Nominating and Governance Committee makes recommendations of individuals to serve as both Independent and interested Trustees of the Fund Board, subject to the approval of the Board. When the Board has or expects to have a vacancy, the Nominating and Governance Committee receives and reviews information on individuals qualified to be recommended to the full Board as nominees for election as Trustee. The Nominating and Governance Committee may consider candidates identified by the Trustees, the Fund's Advisor, as well as shareholders, as part of this process. To the extent necessary, the Nominating and Governance Committee may use a third-party search firm to assist with the identification of qualified candidates. As part of its evaluation process, the Nominating and Governance Committee takes into account certain considerations including a candidate's character and integrity, ability to think and act independently and work in a collegial manner, financial literacy, relevant professional experience, ability to devote sufficient time to service as a Trustee and potential conflicts of interest.

The Nominating and Governance Committee takes diversity into account, among other factors, in its consideration of new nominees for the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee may amend its procedures from time to time, including the procedures relating to the evaluation of nominees and the process for submitting recommendations to the Nominating and Governance Committee.

**The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders of the Fund vote "FOR" each Trustee Nominee.**

**OPERATION OF THE FUND**

The Fund is a closed-end fund organized as a Delaware statutory trust on May 25, 2012. The Fund's principal executive office is located at 919 Third Avenue, 40<sup>th</sup> Floor, New York, NY 10022, and its telephone number is 212-843-1601. The Board supervises the business activities of the Fund. Like other funds, the Fund retains various organizations to perform specialized services. The Fund has retained Bluerock Fund Advisor, LLC (the "Advisor"), located at 919 Third Avenue, 40<sup>th</sup> Fl., New York, NY 10022, a registered advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as the Fund's investment advisor under an investment advisory agreement. ALPS Fund Services, Inc., located at 1290 Broadway, Suite 1000, Denver, CO 80203, serves as administrator and accounting agent for the Fund. SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc., located at 1055 Broadway, Kansas City, MO 64121-9445, service as the Fund's transfer agent. UMB Bank, N.A, with principal offices at 1010 Grand Boulevard, Kansas City, Missouri 64106, serves as custodian for the securities and cash of the Fund's portfolio.

**THE PROXY**

The Board solicits proxies so that each shareholder has the opportunity to vote on the Proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting. A proxy for voting your shares at the Annual Meeting is enclosed. The shares represented by each valid proxy received in time will be voted at the respective Meeting as specified. If no specification is made, the shares represented by a duly executed proxy will be voted "FOR" the Trustee Nominees in Proposal 1 and "FOR" Proposal 2, and at the discretion of the holders of the proxy on any other matter that may come before the Annual Meeting that the Fund did not have notice of a reasonable time prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement. You may revoke a proxy at any time before it is exercised by (i) submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, (ii) submitting a written notice to the Secretary of the Fund revoking the proxy, or (iii) attending and voting in person at the respective Meeting.

**VOTING SECURITIES AND VOTING**

As of the Record Date, the following number of shares of beneficial interest of the Fund were issued and outstanding:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Common Shares** | **143,044,372.357** |

---

All shareholders of record of the Fund on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on any Proposal. The classes of the Fund are voting together on the Proposals. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote per share held, and fractional votes for fractional shares held (if any), on any matter submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting. There are no dissenters' rights of appraisal in connection with any shareholder vote to be taken at the Annual Meeting.

Approval of Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of all votes at the Annual Meeting. Under this plurality standard, Trustee positions are filled by nominees who receive the largest number of votes, with no majority approval requirement, until all vacancies are filled. All nominees receiving a plurality of votes cast will be elected. Under a plurality vote, the candidates that receive the highest number of votes, even if they receive less than a majority of the votes cast, will be elected. Because

the nominees are running unopposed, both nominees are expected to be elected as Trustees. As all nominees who receive votes in favor will be elected, votes against and to withhold will have no effect on the election outcome. A majority of the Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum at such meeting. Abstentions will not be counted as Shares voted with respect to this proposal, but they will count toward the establishment of a quorum. The New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") considers the Trustee election proposal to be a routine matter, and therefore a broker may use its discretionary power to vote on that Proposal.

Approval of Proposal 2 under our bylaws requires the affirmative vote of a majority of Shares present in person or by proxy at a Shareholders' meeting at which a quorum is present. A majority of the Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum at such meeting. Abstentions will not be counted as Shares voted with respect to this proposal, but they will count toward the establishment of a quorum. The appointed proxies will vote your shares as you instruct, unless you submit your proxy without instructions. The NYSE considers the auditor ratification proposal to be a routine matter, and therefore a broker may use its discretionary power to vote on that Proposal.

The Annual Meeting may be adjourned by the Board of Trustees or the chair of the Annual Meeting one or more times for any reason, including the failure of a quorum to be present at the meeting with respect to any proposal or the failure of any proposal to receive sufficient votes for approval. At any adjourned Annual Meeting, the Fund may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original Annual Meeting.

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS**

There were no Trustees or officers of the Fund who were the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund on the Record Date. As a group, the Trustees and officers of the Fund owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund as of the Record Date. Shareholders owning more than 25% of the shares of the Fund are considered to "control" the Fund, as that term is defined under the 1940 Act. Persons controlling the Fund can determine the outcome of any proposal submitted to the shareholders for approval.

As of the Record Date, the Trustee Nominees and officers owned the following shares of the Fund:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Title of class**  | **Name of beneficial owner**  | **Amount and nature<br>of beneficial ownership**  | **Percent of class**  |
| Common Shares  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I. Bobby Majumder  | 4185.442  | 0.0%  |
| Common Shares  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Romano Tio  | 4185.442  | 0.0%  |
| Common Shares  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kamal Jafarnia  | 3509.735  | 0.0%  |
| Common Shares  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ramin Kamfar  | 36813.000  | 0.0%  |
| Common Shares  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ryan MacDonald  | 190.000  | 0.0%  |
| Common Shares  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; S. Sori Farsheed  | 3248.940  | 0.0%  |
| Common Shares  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jordan Ruddy  | 17223.285  | 0.0%  |
| Common Shares  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jason Emala  | 6481.000  | 0.0%  |
| Common Shares  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lucas Foss  | 0  | 0.0%  |

---

A principal shareholder is any person who owns (beneficially) more than 5% of the outstanding shares of a fund. Based on SEC filings, the Fund is not aware of shareholder groups that were the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund prior to the Record Date.

**SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD**

The Fund has not received any shareholder proposals to be considered for presentation at the Annual Meeting. Under the proxy rules of the SEC, shareholder proposals may, under certain conditions, be included in the Fund's Proxy Statement and proxy for a particular meeting. Under these rules, proposals submitted for inclusion in the Fund's proxy materials must be received by the Fund within a reasonable time before the solicitation is made. The fact that the Fund receives a shareholder proposal in a timely manner does not ensure its inclusion in its proxy materials, because there are other requirements in the proxy rules relating to such inclusion. Shareholders of the Fund who wish to communicate with Trustees (or to the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, as a group) should send communications to the attention of Jason Emala, Secretary, Bluerock Private Real Estate Fund, 919 Third Avenue, 40<sup>th</sup> Floor, New York, NY 10022. All communications will be directed to the Trustee or Trustees indicated in the communication or, if no Trustee or Trustees are indicated, to all Trustees.

Persons nominated by shareholders for election as Trustees of the Trust and any other proposals by shareholders shall be properly brought before the 2027 annual meeting only if notice of any such matter be delivered to the Fund's offices, at 919 Third Avenue, 40th Floor, New York, NY 10022, Attention: Secretary, no earlier than April 6, 2027, and no later than the close of business on May 6, 2027.

Shareholder proposals submitted under Rule 14a-8 for inclusion in the Fund's proxy statement for the 2027 annual meeting must be received on or before March 2, 2027.

**COST OF SOLICITATION**

The Board is making this solicitation of proxies. The Fund has engaged Sodali Fund Solutions ("SFS"), a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the vote tabulation and solicitation. The estimated fees anticipated to be paid to SFS for tabulation and solicitation services are expected to be approximately $35,000. The cost of preparing and mailing this Proxy Statement, the accompanying Notice of the Annual Meeting, Annual Meeting proxy, and any additional materials relating to the Annual Meeting and the cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Fund. In addition to solicitation by mail, the Fund will request banks, brokers and other custodial nominees and fiduciaries, to supply proxy materials to the respective beneficial owners of shares of the Fund of whom they have knowledge, and the Fund will reimburse them for their expenses. Certain officers of the Fund and the Advisor may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, facsimile transmission, or mail, for which they will not receive any compensation.

**BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE**

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act, and the rules thereunder, require that the Board and officers, the Advisor, certain persons affiliated with the Advisor, and persons who own beneficially, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the Fund's outstanding interests (collectively, the "Section 16 reporting persons"), file initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of the Fund and the SEC. Section 16 reporting persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish to the Fund copies of all Section 16(a) forms they filed with respect to shares of the Fund.

**Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports**

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons, the Fund believes that, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, all such Section 16(a) form filing requirements were met with respect to the Fund.

**PROPOSAL 2**

**RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF<br>INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT**

The Board selected Cohen & Company, Ltd. ("Cohen"), located at 1835 Market St., Suite 310, Philadelphia, PA 19103, to serve as the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm (auditor) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. Cohen provides audit services and review of certain documents to be filed with the SEC. A representative of Cohen is expected to attend the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. The Audit Committee has discussed with Cohen the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") and the SEC. After review and discussion with Cohen, pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, the Audit Committee approved the Fund's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 for inclusion in the Fund's annual report to shareholders. The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit engagements of the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm and, when appropriate, any non-audit services (including audit-related, tax and all other services). One hundred percent of the audit fees presented below were pre-approved. Zero percent of the audit-related and tax fee services below were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. The Audit Committee pre-approves non-audit engagements of Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, subject to the following *de minimis* exception. Pre-approval for a service provided to the Fund other than audit, review or attest services is not required if: (1) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to the Fund constitutes not more than 5 percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to the auditor during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and are approved by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. The Audit Committee also pre-approves any non-audit services proposed to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to (a) the Advisor and (b) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Fund, if the auditor's engagement with the Advisor or any such control persons relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. This pre-approval is also subject to a *de minimis* exception, except that the "total amount of revenues" calculation is based on the total amount of revenues paid to the auditor by the Fund and any other entity that has its services approved under this policy (i.e., the Advisor or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor).

The fee information in the table below is presented under the following captions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

● Audit Fees—fees related to the audit and review of the financial statements included in the annual report and registration statement, and other services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including out-of-pocket expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

● Audit-Related Fees—fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably associated with the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not

reported under "Audit Fees," including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters and internal control reviews not required by regulators.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

All of the fees included under "Tax Fees" relate solely to services provided for tax compliance and/or tax preparation, and none of such fees relate to tax advice, tax planning or tax consulting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

● All Other Fees—fees for products and services provided to the Fund other than those reported under "Audit Fees," "Audit-Related Fees" and "Tax Fees."

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Fund's auditor for services rendered to the Fund, and rendered to the Fund's Advisor (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Fund were $0 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2025. The Fund's Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to the Fund's Advisor (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Fund that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.

At the Annual Meeting, you and the other stockholders will vote for, against or abstain from voting to ratify the selection of Cohen as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.

**THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE SELECTION OF COHEN & COMPANY, LTD. AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2026.**

**OTHER FUND INFORMATION**

***Application of Control Share Provisions.*** When the Fund converted to a listed closed-end fund on December 16, 2025, the Fund became automatically subject to newly enacted control share acquisition provisions within the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the "Control Share Provisions"). In general, the Control Share Provisions limit the ability of holders of "control beneficial interests" to vote their shares of a fund above various threshold levels that start at 10% unless the other shareholders of such fund vote to reinstate those rights. "Control beneficial interests" are aggregated to include the holdings of related parties and shares acquired before the effective date of the Control Share Provisions. A fund's board of trustees may exempt acquisitions from the application of the Control Share Provisions.

The Control Share Provisions require shareholders to disclose any control share acquisition to the Fund within 10 days of such acquisition and, upon request, to provide any related information that the Fund's Board reasonably believes is necessary or desirable.

***Application of Ownership Limitations***. In 2025, Fund shareholders approved amendments to the Fund's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust to incorporate limitations on ownership of the Fund, such that within the first twelve months of the Fund's shares being listed on the NYSE, no shareholder may obtain more than 4.9% of the Fund, and thereafter, no shareholder may obtain more than 9.9% of the Fund (together, the "Ownership Limitations"). The Fund was listed on the NYSE on December 16, 2025. Until December 16, 2026, no person shall attempt to purchase or acquire in any manner whatsoever, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, any Fund shares, or any option, warrant or other right to purchase or acquire Fund shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Fund shares or any interest in any other entity that directly, indirectly or constructively owns any Shares (any such purchase or acquisition being an "Acquisition"), in each case, whether of record, beneficially, by operation of law or otherwise and such Acquisition shall cause such Acquiring Person to become a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of greater than 4.9% of Fund shares. Thereafter, no person shall attempt to purchase or acquire in any manner whatsoever, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, any Fund shares, or any option, warrant or other right to purchase or acquire Fund shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Fund shares or any interest in any other entity that directly, indirectly or constructively owns any Shares (any such purchase or acquisition being an "Acquisition"), in each case, whether of record, beneficially, by operation of law or otherwise and such Acquisition shall cause such Acquiring Person to become a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of greater than 9.9% of Fund shares.

The Ownership Limitations do not retroactively apply to acquisitions of shares that occurred prior to the Fund becoming a listed closed-end fund. However, such shares will be aggregated with any shares acquired thereafter for purposes of determining whether the Ownership Limitations are exceeded.

The Ownership Limitations are designed to protect long-term shareholders in the first twelve months after the Fund is listed on the NYSE when the Fund may trade at a substantial discount to net asset value as shareholders take advantage of newly-available secondary market liquidity and before the Advisor has had the opportunity to fully implement its business plan in connection with the conversion. Following this initial period, the Ownership Limitations are intended to limit the concentration of Fund shareholdings among persons who would be an "affiliated person" (as defined in the 1940 Act) by virtue of their shareholdings.

**OTHER MATTERS**

The Board knows of no other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than as set forth above. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting that the Fund did not have notice of a reasonable time prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, the holders of the proxy will vote the shares represented by the proxy on such matters in accordance with their best judgment, and discretionary authority to do so is included in the proxy.

**PROXY DELIVERY**

If you and another shareholder share the same address, the Fund may only send one Proxy Statement unless you or the other shareholder(s) request otherwise. Call or write to the Fund if you wish to receive a separate copy of the Proxy Statement, and the Fund will promptly mail a copy to you. You may also call or write to the Fund if you wish to receive a separate proxy in the future or if you are receiving
