#### Private Debt & Income Fund <br>Manager's Commentary
To our shareholders:

The Private Debt & Income Fund (the "Fund" or "PDI Fund") recently completed its first half year of operations, and we want to thank you for the trust you have placed in us. The Fund experienced strong investor inflows since its launch, with net assets growing to $223 million as of September 30, 2025.

Fund performance over this period of time was in line with comparative indices. The PDI Fund produced a return of 3.63% from its May 1, 2025 inception through September 30, 2025. This compares to a 4.26% return for the Morningstar LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index TR and a 3.20% return for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Performance generation was broad based across all underlying PDI Fund investments. We remain confident in the Fund's continued performance despite the uncertain economic environment.

Market factors that influence private credit performance include base rates (commonly cited as SOFR) and sub-investment grade credit spreads (measured by ICE BofA US High Yield Index Option-Adjusted Spread). SOFR was unchanged through most of the April-September half year at 4.4%, but fell to 4.2% in the final two weeks of September after the Fed lowered its target rate. Sub-investment grade credit spreads started the half year at 10 year lows but widened sharply in early April on the back of tariff announcements. These wider spreads were short lived as tariff impacts were judged to be less impactful than initially feared, and this metric ended September back near their lows.

We again sincerely thank you for your support.

Regards,

Patrick Kelly

PDI Fund President & Principal Executive Officer

Brighton Jones

(a) The performance data quoted here represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemptions of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance figures for periods less than 1 year are not annualized. The Adviser and the Private Debt & Income Fund (the "Fund") have entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the "Expense Limitation Agreement") under which the Adviser has agreed contractually to waive its fees and to pay or absorb the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund (including all organizational and offering expenses, but excluding interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses), to the extent that they exceed 2.50% per annum of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class I shares (the "Expense Limitation"). The Fund's total annual operating expenses, before fee waiver and/or reimbursements, were estimated to be 4.21% per the prospectus dated April 10, 2025.

#### Private Debt & Income Fund <br>Notes to the Financial Statement <br>September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
**1. Organization**

Private Debt & Income Fund (the "Fund") was organized on October 22, 2024 as a Delaware statutory trust that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a closed-end management investment company. The Fund is a continuously offered, non-diversified fund.

The Fund's investment objective is to seek high current income with a secondary objective of capital preservation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing, directly or indirectly, in income-generating, credit-related investments.

Brighton Jones, LLC, an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act"), as amended, serves as the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"). The Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board") has the overall responsibility for the management and supervision of the business operations of the Fund.

Class I shares of the Fund are currently the only class offered to investors at a minimum initial investment of $50,000. Class I shares are offered on a continuous monthly basis at the net asset value ("NAV") per share.

**2. Significant Accounting Policies**

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 946 "Financial Services — Investment Companies".

**Operating Segments** — The Fund has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is comprised of the portfolio manager and Chief Executive Officer of the Fund. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

**Securities Valuation** — The Board has adopted Securities Valuation Procedures governing the valuation of securities and other investment assets of the Fund (collectively, "Portfolio Instruments"). The Board may designate an investment adviser, as the valuation designee (the "Adviser" or "Valuation Designee") pursuant to Rule 2a-5(b) under the 1940 Act to perform the fair value determination relating to any and all Portfolio Instruments, subject to the conditions and oversight requirements described in these procedures. This designation will be subject to Board oversight and certain reporting and other requirements designed to facilitate the Board's ability to effectively oversee the Fund's fair value determinations.

Portfolio Instruments with respect to which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at current market value, and other securities and assets shall be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, pursuant to Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act and Rules 2a-4 and 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. A market quotation is readily available only when that quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Fund can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable.

"unadjusted" refers to adjustments in market prices made by the fund or valuation designee, not adjustments made by the exchange on which the security is listed.) The Portfolio Instruments for which market quotations are readily available are to be valued at current market value based on such market quotations as of the Determination Date.

As provided in the prospectus, the NAV of shares of the Fund is determined following the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE" or "Exchange"), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on the last business day of each calendar month. These procedures, including the designation of certain responsibilities by the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust and the requirements for determining fair value in good faith, are adopted to ensure that each Fund calculates its NAV in a timely and accurate manner.

**Valuation of Portfolio Instruments** — Readily marketable portfolio securities listed on a public exchange are valued at their current market values determined on the basis of market quotations obtained from independent pricing services approved by the Board. Such quotes typically utilize official closing prices, generally the last sale price, reported to the applicable securities exchange if readily available. Portfolio securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined as reflected by the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Securities trading on NASDAQ are valued at NASDAQ official closing price.

If market or dealer quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the Adviser will determine in good faith, the fair value of such securities. For securities that are fair valued in the ordinary course of Fund operations, the Board has designated the performance of fair value determinations to the Adviser as valuation designee, subject to the Board's oversight. The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee to help oversee the implementation of procedures for fair value determinations. In determining the fair value of a security for which there are no readily available market or dealer quotations, the Adviser and the Valuation Committee, will take into account all reasonably available information that may be relevant to a particular security including, but not limited to: pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; the enterprise value of the portfolio company; the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, comparison to the values and current pricing of publicly traded securities that have comparable characteristics; comparison to publicly traded securities including factors such as yield, maturity, and credit quality; knowledge of historical market information with respect to the security; fundamental analytical data, such as periodic financial statements, and other factors or information relevant to the security, issuer, or market. Fair valuation involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.

**Valuation of Underlying Funds** — The underlying investments of some of the Underlying Funds are not publicly traded, and the Underlying Funds may consider information provided by the institutional asset manager of each respective portfolio instrument to determine the estimated value of the Underlying Fund's investment therein. The valuation provided by an institutional asset manager as of a specific date may vary from the actual sale price that may be obtained if such investment were sold to a third party. To determine the estimated value of the Underlying Fund's investment in portfolio instruments, the Underlying Fund considers, among other things, information provided by the Underlying Funds, including quarterly unaudited financial statements, which if inaccurate, could adversely affect the Underlying Fund's ability to value accurately the Underlying Fund's shares. Underlying Funds that invest primarily in publicly traded securities are more easily valued.

Assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. Dollars using foreign exchange rates provided by a recognized pricing service.

GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurement. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

**2. Significant Accounting Policies** (cont.)

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

**Investments Valued at NAV** — GAAP permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value based on the NAV per share, or its equivalent, of the investment fund as a practical expedient, without further adjustment, unless it is probable that the investment would be sold at a value significantly different than the NAV. If the practical expedient NAV is not as of the reporting entity's measurement date, then the NAV should be adjusted to reflect any significant events that may change the valuation. In using the NAV as a practical expedient, certain attributes of the investment that may impact its fair value are not considered in measuring fair value. Attributes of those investments include the investment strategies of the investment and may also include, but are not limited to, restrictions on the investor's ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date and any unfunded commitments. The Fund is permitted to invest in alternative investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and, as such, has elected to use the NAV as calculated on the reporting entity's measurement date as the fair value of the investment.

Adjustments to the NAV provided by the portfolio fund manager would be considered if the practical expedient NAV was not as of the Fund's measurement date; if it was probable that the alternative investment would be sold at a value materially different than the reported expedient NAV; or if it was determined by the Fund's valuation procedures that the private investment is not being reported at fair value.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of September 30, 2025, for the Fund's assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

(a) Refer to the Schedule of Investments for classifications of individual securities.

(b) Direct lending investment provides senior-secured, floating-rate loans to U.S. middle-market companies, primarily sponsor-backed, for leveraged buyouts, acquisitions, and growth financing.

(c) Asset based financing investment provides secured loans backed by tangible or financial assets (e.g., receivables, inventory, equipment, real estate, specialty finance pools) to businesses and specialty finance platforms.

**Restricted Securities —** Restricted securities are securities that may be resold only upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board. The restricted securities may be valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, the fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with the Fund's Valuation Policies. Portfolio Funds generally are restricted securities that are subject to substantial holding periods and are not traded in public markets. The Fund may not be able to resell some of its investments for extended periods, which may be several years.

Additional information on each restricted investment held by the Fund on September 30, 2025 is as follows:

**2. Significant Accounting Policies** (cont.)

**Share Valuation —** The NAV per share of each class of the Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of the assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of shares outstanding of that class. The offering price and redemption price per share of each class of the Fund is equal to the NAV per share of such class.

**Investment Income and Return of Capital —** Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the security received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Distributions received from investments in securities and private funds that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.

**Investment Transactions —** Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis.

**Distributions to Shareholders —** Distributions to shareholders arising from net investment, if any, are declared and paid quarterly to shareholders. Net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually to shareholders. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

**Estimates —** The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Federal Income Taxes —** The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and it has qualified, and expects each year to continue to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, the Fund generally will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, provided that it distributes all of its net taxable income and gains each year. It is the Fund's intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The Fund has selected a tax year end of September 30. The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of September 30, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  Cost of portfolio investments | $221353714  |
|  Gross unrealized appreciation | 2318324  |
|  Gross unrealized depreciation | (160598) |
|  Net unrealized appreciation | $2157726  |
|  Distributions payable | (3536389) |
|  Undistributed ordinary income | 1479309  |
|  Accumulated capital and other losses | (59357) |
|  Distributable earnings | $41289  |

---

The tax character of distributions for the tax period ended September 30, 2025 was as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  **Periods Ended** | **Ordinary <br>Income** | **Long-Term <br>Capital Gains** | **Total <br>Distributions** |
|  September 30, 2025 | $4312130 | $— | $4312130 |

---

**2. Significant Accounting Policies** (cont.)

The difference between the federal income tax cost of portfolio investments and the financial statement cost of portfolio investments is due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax regulations and U.S. GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are temporary in nature and are primarily due to holdings classified as Private Equity Investments.

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/tax basis treatment of non-deductible expenses, resulted in reclassifications for the Fund for the tax year ended September 30, 2025 as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  **Paid in <br>Capital** | **Distributable <br>Earnings** |
| (75096) | 75096  |

---

These reclassifications had no effects on net assets.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Fund's tax positions and concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Fund's current tax year.

During the period ended September 30, 2025, the Fund did not incur any taxes, interest or penalties. Generally, tax authorities can examine tax returns filed during the last three years. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.

**3. Investment Transactions**

During the period ended September 30, 2025, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, were $208,827,969 and $0, respectively.

**4. Investment Management and Other Agreements**

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser, the Adviser manages the Fund's investments subject to oversight by the Board. The Fund pays the Adviser a monthly management fee computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's daily net assets.

The Adviser and the Fund have entered into an Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement ("ELA") under to which the Adviser has agreed to contractually reduce its fees and to reimburse or absorb the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund (exclusive of any taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation or reorganization costs, but inclusive of organizational costs and offering costs), to the extent that such expenses exceed 2.50%, on an annualized basis, of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class I shares (the "Expense Cap"). In consideration of the Adviser's agreement to limit the Fund's expenses, the Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser in the amount of any fees waived and Fund expenses paid or absorbed, subject to the limitations that: (1) the reimbursement will be made only for fees and expenses incurred not more than three years from the date in which they were incurred; and (2) the reimbursement may not be made if it would cause the lesser of the Expense Limitation in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement to be exceeded. The ELA will remain in effect, at least until February 1, 2027, unless and until the Board approves its modification or termination. This agreement may be terminated only by the Board on 60 days' written notice to the Adviser. After February 1, 2027, the ELA may be renewed at the Adviser's discretion. Pursuant to the ELA, fees totaling $25,932 were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser during the period ended September 30, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, the Adviser may seek repayment of investment management fees and expense reimbursements no later than the dates below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  February 10, 2028 | $90136 |
|  September 30, 2028 | 25932 |
|  | $**116068** |

---

**4. Investment Management and Other Agreements** (cont.)

During the period ended September 30, 2025, the Adviser also voluntarily reduced its fees and reimbursed the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund (exclusive of any taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation or reorganization costs, but inclusive of organizational costs and offering costs), to the extent that such expenses exceed 1.20%, on an annualized basis, of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class I shares. During the period ended September 30, 2025, the Adviser waived $31,275 of its fees pursuant to this voluntary waiver. The fees waived voluntarily are not subject to reimbursement by the Adviser.

Organization and Offering Costs shall mean all third-party charges and out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Fund and the Adviser in connection with the formation of the Fund, the offering of the Fund's shares, and the admission of investors in the Fund, including, without limitation, travel, legal, accounting, filing, advertising and all other expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of the interests in the Fund.

The Fund's organizational costs of $68,628, which have been incurred through September 30, 2025, have been expensed as incurred and are subject to the Fund's Expense Cap. Organizational expenses consist of costs incurred to establish the Fund and enable it to legally to do business. The Fund's offering costs of $180,098, consist of legal fees for preparing the prospectus and statement of additional information in connection with the Fund's registration and public offering, state registration fees, insurance, and fees paid to be listed on an exchange. Offering costs are accounted for as a deferred charge and then are amortized on a straight-line basis over the first twelve months of the Fund's operations. As of September 30, 2025, $105,002 of offering costs remain as an unamortized deferred asset, while $75,096 has been expensed subject to the Fund's ELA.

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC ("Ultimus") provides the Fund with administration, fund accounting and transfer agent services, including all regulatory reporting. Under the terms of a Master Services Agreement, Ultimus receives fees for these services from the Fund.

The Fund has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the "Distributor"), pursuant to which the Distributor acts as principal underwriter and distributor of the Fund's shares of beneficial interest on a best effort basis, subject to various conditions. The Distributor may retain additional broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries (each a "Selling Agent") to assist in the distribution of shares and shares are available for purchase through these Selling Agents or directly through the Distributor. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultimus. For these services, the Distributor receives an annual fee from the Adviser. The Adviser is also responsible for paying any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Distributor in providing services under the Distribution Agreement.

In consideration of the services rendered by the Independent Trustees, the Fund pays each Independent Trustee an annual retainer of $15,000, paid quarterly, as well as reimbursement for any reasonable expenses incurred attending the meetings. The Chair of the Board receives an additional $3,500 annually. The Chair of each of the Audit Committee and the Nominating Committee and Governance Committee receives an additional $2,500 annually. None of the executive officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive compensation from the Fund. The Trustees do not receive any pension or retirement benefits.

Certain officers of the Fund are also employees of the Adviser and Ultimus.

#### Beneficial Ownership of Fund Shares
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of the Fund creates a presumption of control under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of September 30, 2025, no shareholders of record owned more than 25% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

**5. Risk Factors**

Risk is inherent in all investing. The value of your investment in the Fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly from day to day and over time. The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all the potential risks associated with the Fund. The Fund's prospectus provides further details regarding the Fund's risks and considerations.

#### Private Debt & Income Fund <br>Notes to the Financial Statement <br>September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
**5. Risk Factors** (cont.)

**Minimal Capitalization Risk** — The Fund is not obligated to raise any specific amount of capital prior to commencing operations. There is a risk that the amount of capital actually raised by the Fund through the offering of its shares may be insufficient to achieve profitability or allow the Fund to realize its investment objective. An inability to raise additional capital may adversely affect the Fund's financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, as well as its compliance with regulatory requirements.

**Limited Operating History** — The Fund is a closed-end investment company with a limited history of operations. The Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective, including as a result of inopportune market or economic conditions.

**Allocation Risk** — The ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective depends, in part, on the ability of the Adviser to allocate effectively the Fund's assets among the various Private Debt Funds in which the Fund invests. There can be no assurance that the actual allocations will be effective in achieving the Fund's investment objective or delivering positive returns.

**Issuer and Non**-Diversification **Risk** — Specific securities can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers. The Fund's performance may be more sensitive to any single economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence than the value of shares of a diversified investment company. The value of an issuer's securities that are held in the Fund's portfolio may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods and services.

**Liquidity Risk** — The Fund is a closed-end investment company and designed for long-term investors. Unlike many closed-end investment companies, the Fund's shares are not listed on any securities exchange and are not publicly traded. There currently is no secondary market for the shares and the Adviser does not expect that a secondary market will develop. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund's periodic repurchase offers. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a periodic repurchase offer. The Fund's investments are also subject to liquidity risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations. Funds with principal investment strategies that involve securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations, derivatives or securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk.

**Management Risk** — The NAV of the Fund changes daily based on the performance of the securities in which it invests. The Adviser's judgment about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular Private Fund and securities in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results.

**General Market Conditions Risk** — An investment in shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. An investment in shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of your shares at any point in time may be worth less than the value of your original investment, even after taking into account any reinvestment of distributions. The Fund may also use leverage, which would magnify the Fund's investment, market and certain other risks.

All investments involve risks, including the risk that the entire amount invested may be lost. No guarantee or representation is made that the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved. The Fund may utilize investment techniques, such as leverage, which can in certain circumstances increase the adverse impact to which the Fund's investment portfolio may be subject.

Various sectors of the global financial markets have been experiencing an extended period of adverse conditions. Market uncertainty has increased dramatically, particularly in the United States and Europe, and adverse market conditions have expanded to other markets. These conditions have resulted in disruption of markets, periods of reduced

**5. Risk Factors** (cont.)

liquidity, greater volatility, general volatility of spreads, an acute contraction in the availability of credit and a lack of price transparency. These volatile and often difficult global market conditions have episodically adversely affected the market values of real estate and other securities and this volatility may continue and conditions could even deteriorate further. Some of the largest banks and companies across many sectors of the economy in the United States and Europe have declared bankruptcy, entered into insolvency, administration or similar proceedings, been nationalized by government authorities, and/or agreed to merge with or be acquired by other banks or companies that had been considered their peers. The long-term impact of these events is uncertain but could continue to have a material effect on general economic conditions, consumer and business confidence and market liquidity.

Economic problems in a single country are increasingly affecting other markets and economies and a continuation of this trend could adversely affect global economic conditions and world markets. Uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets and political systems of the United States or any other country, including volatility as a result of the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas and the rapidly evolving measures in response, may have adverse spill-over effects into the global financial markets generally.

Major public health issues, such as COVID-19, may in the future impact the Fund. The COVID-19 pandemic caused substantial market volatility and global business disruption and impacted the global economy in significant and unforeseen ways. Any public health emergency, including the COVID-19 pandemic or any outbreak of other existing or new epidemic diseases or the threat thereof, and the resulting financial and economic market uncertainty, could have a material adverse impact on the Fund or its investments. Moreover, changes in interest rates, travel advisories, quarantines and restrictions, disrupted supply chains and industries, impact on labor markets, reduced liquidity or a slowdown in U.S. or global economic conditions resulting from a future public health crisis may also adversely affect the Fund or its investments. COVID-19, or any other health crisis and the current or any resulting financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present uncertainty and risk with respect to the Fund's NAV, performance, financial condition, results of operations, ability to pay distributions and portfolio liquidity, among other factors.

**Failure of Financial Institutions and Sustained Financial Market Illiquidity** — The failure of certain financial institutions, namely banks, may increase the possibility of a sustained deterioration of financial market liquidity, or illiquidity at clearing, cash management and/or custodial financial institutions. The failure of a bank (or banks) with which the Fund and/or the Fund's underlying investments have a commercial relationship could adversely affect, among other things, the Fund and/or the Fund's underlying investments' ability to pursue key strategic initiatives, including by affecting the Fund's ability to borrow from financial institutions on favorable terms.

**Correlation Risk** — The Fund seeks to produce returns that are less correlated to the broader financial markets over time. Although the prices of fixed income securities, as well as other asset classes, often rise and fall at different times so that a fall in the price of one may be offset by a rise in the price of the other, in down markets the prices of these securities and asset classes can also fall in tandem.

**Repurchase Policy Risks** — Periodic repurchases by the Fund of its shares typically will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. However, payment for repurchased shares may require the Fund to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than the Adviser otherwise would liquidate such holdings, potentially resulting in losses, and may increase the Fund's portfolio turnover. The Adviser may take measures to attempt to avoid or minimize such potential losses and turnover, and instead of liquidating portfolio holdings, may borrow money to finance repurchases of shares. If the Fund borrows to finance repurchases, interest on any such borrowing will negatively affect shareholders who do not tender their shares in a repurchase offer by increasing the Fund's expenses and reducing any net investment income. The Fund may also incur leveraging risk to the extent the Fund borrows money to finance repurchases. The Fund may borrow no more than 331/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets, including the value of the assets purchased with the proceeds of its indebtedness, if any. See also "Leveraging Risk" below. To the extent the Fund finances repurchase proceeds by selling investments, the Fund may hold a larger proportion of its net assets in less liquid securities. Also, the sale of securities to fund repurchases could reduce the market price of those securities, which in turn would reduce the Fund's NAV.

**5. Risk Factors** (cont.)

Repurchase of shares will tend to reduce the amount of outstanding shares and, depending upon the Fund's investment performance, its net assets. A reduction in the Fund's net assets may increase the Fund's expense ratio, to the extent that additional shares are not sold. In addition, the repurchase of shares by the Fund may be a taxable event to shareholders. To the extent that shareholders tender shares that in the aggregate exceed the percentage of the Fund's outstanding shares specified for repurchase in that repurchase offer, the Fund may repurchase shares tendered by each tendering shareholder in the same proportion that the percentage of the Fund's outstanding shares specified in the repurchase offer bears to the total shares tendered, so shareholders may not be able to tender as many shares as they would like during any periodic repurchase offer.

**Distribution Policy Risk** — The Fund's distribution policy is to make quarterly distributions to shareholders. All or a portion of a distribution may consist solely of a return of capital (i.e. from your original investment) and not a return of net profit. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. Shareholders should note that return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares.

**Tax Risks** — The repurchase of shares by the Fund may be a taxable event to shareholders. The Fund's distribution policy to make quarterly distributions to shareholders may consist of a return of capital. A return of capital distribution generally will not be taxable but will reduce the shareholder's cost basis and result in a higher capital gain or lower capital loss when those shares on which the distribution was received are sold. Once a shareholder's cost basis is reduced to zero, further distributions will be treated as capital gain and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of the shares held by the shareholder.

**Cybersecurity Risk** — Cybersecurity refers to the combination of technologies, processes and procedures established to protect information technology systems and data from unauthorized access, attack or damage. The Fund and its affiliates and thirdparty service providers are subject to cybersecurity risks. Cybersecurity risks have significantly increased in recent years and the Fund could suffer losses from such in the future. The Fund's and its affiliates' and third-party service providers' computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other malicious code, and other events that could have a security impact. If one or more of such events occur, this potentially could jeopardize confidential and other information, including nonpublic personal information and sensitive business data processed and stored in, and transmitted through, computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in the Fund's operations or the operations of their respective affiliates and third-party service providers. This could result in significant losses, reputational damage, litigation, regulatory fines or penalties, or otherwise adversely affect the Fund's business, financial condition or results of operations. Privacy and information security laws and regulation changes, and compliance with those changes, may result in cost increases due to system changes and the development of new administrative processes. In addition, the Fund may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify the Fund's protective measures and to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks.

#### Risks Related to the Fund's Investments
**Private Debt Funds Risk** — The Private Debt Funds in which the Fund may invest are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Private Debt Funds and also may be higher than other funds that invest directly in securities. The Private Debt Funds have limited liquidity. The Private Debt Funds are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the specific Private Fund. The Fund's performance depends in part upon the performance of the Private Fund managers and selected strategies, the adherence by such Private Fund managers to such selected strategies, the instruments used by such Private Fund managers and the Adviser's ability to select Private Fund managers and strategies and effectively allocate Fund assets among them. Additionally, the market value of shares of Private Debt Funds that are closed-end funds may differ from their NAV. This difference in price may be due to the fact that the supply and demand in the market for fund shares at any point in time is not always identical to the supply and demand in the market for the underlying basket of securities.

#### Private Debt & Income Fund <br>Notes to the Financial Statement <br>September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
**5. Risk Factors** (cont.)

**Lack of Control Over Private Debt Funds** — Once the Adviser has selected a Private Fund, the Adviser will have no control over the investment decisions made by any such Private Fund. Although the Fund and the Adviser will regularly evaluate each Private Fund and its manager to determine whether their respective investment programs are consistent with the Fund's investment objective, the Adviser will not have any control over the investments made by any Private Fund. Even though the Private Debt Funds are subject to certain constraints, the Private Fund managers may change aspects of their investment strategies at any time. The Adviser may reallocate the Fund's investments among the Private Debt Funds, but the Adviser's ability to do so may be constrained by the withdrawal limitations imposed by the Private Debt Funds, which may prevent the Fund from reacting rapidly to market changes should a Private Fund fail to effect portfolio changes consistent with such market changes and the demands of the Adviser. Such withdrawal limitations may also restrict the Adviser's ability to terminate investments in Private Debt Funds that are poorly performing or have otherwise had adverse changes. The Adviser will be dependent on information provided by the Private Fund, including financial statements, which if inaccurate, could adversely affect the Adviser's ability to manage the Fund's investment portfolio in accordance with its investment objective. By investing in the Fund, a shareholder will not be deemed to be an investor in any Private Fund and will not have the ability to exercise any rights attributable to an investor in any such Private Fund related to their investment.

**Use of Leverage by the Fund** — Although the Fund and the Private Debt Funds have the option to borrow, there are significant risks that may be assumed in connection with such borrowings. Investors in the Fund should consider the various risks of financial leverage, including, without limitation, the matters described below. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy would be successful. Financial leverage involves risks and special considerations for shareholders including: (i) the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV of the shares than a comparable portfolio without leverage; (ii) the risk that fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings and short-term debt that the Fund must pay will reduce the return to the shareholders; (iii) the effect of financial leverage in a market experiencing rising interest rates, which would likely cause a greater decline in the NAV of the shares than if the Fund were not leveraged; and (iv) the potential for an increase in operating costs, which may reduce the Fund's total return.

In the event that the Fund would be required to sell assets at a loss, including in order to redeem or pay off any borrowing, such a sale would reduce the Fund's NAV and may make it difficult for the NAV to recover. The Fund nevertheless may continue to use financial leverage if the Adviser expects that the benefits to the shareholders of maintaining the leveraged position likely would outweigh a resulting reduction in the current return.

Certain types of borrowings by the Fund would result in the Fund being subject to covenants in credit agreements relating to asset coverage and Fund composition requirements that are more stringent than those currently imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act. In addition, borrowings by the Fund may be made on a secured basis. The Custodian will then either segregate the assets securing the Fund's borrowings for the benefit of the Fund's lenders or arrangements will be made with a suitable subcustodian. If the assets used to secure a borrowing decrease in value, the Fund may be required to pledge additional collateral to the lender in the form of cash or securities to avoid liquidation of those assets. In the event of a default, the lenders will have the right, through the Custodian, to redeem the Fund's investments in underlying Private Debt Funds without consideration of whether doing so would be in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders. The rights of any lenders to the Fund to receive payments of interest on and repayments of principal of borrowings will be senior to the rights of the Fund's shareholders, and the terms of the Fund's borrowings may contain provisions that limit certain activities of the Fund and could result in precluding the purchase of instruments that the Fund would otherwise purchase.

The use of financial leverage involves financial risk and would increase the exposure of the Fund's investment returns to adverse economic factors such as rising interest rates, downturns in the economy or deterioration in the condition of the investments. There would be a risk that operating cash flow available to the Fund would be insufficient to meet required payments and a risk that it would not be possible to refinance existing indebtedness or that the terms of such refinancing would not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. Borrowings by the Fund may be secured by any or all of the assets of the Fund, with the consequences that the Fund may lose more than its equity stake in any one investment, and may lose all of its capital.

**5. Risk Factors** (cont.)

**Investments in Bank Loans and Participations** — The special risks associated with investing in bank loans and participations include: (i) the possible invalidation of an investment transaction as a fraudulent conveyance under relevant creditors' rights laws; (ii) environmental liabilities that may arise with respect to collateral securing the obligations; (iii) adverse consequences resulting from participating in such instruments with other institutions with lower credit quality; (iv) limitations on the ability of the Private Debt Funds to directly enforce any of their respective rights with respect to participations; and (v) generation of income that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation as income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. The Private Debt Funds will attempt to balance the magnitude of these risks against the potential investment gain prior to entering into each such investment. Successful claims by third parties arising from these and other risks, absent bad faith, may be borne by the Private Debt Funds.

Bank loans do not presently have the liquidity of conventional debt securities and are often subject to restrictions on resale. Due to the illiquidity of bank loans, the Private Debt Funds may not be able to dispose of its investments in bank loans in a timely fashion and at a fair price, which could adversely affect the performance of the Private Debt Funds. With respect to bank loans acquired as participations by the Private Debt Funds, because the holder of a participation generally has no contractual relationship with a borrower, the Private Debt Funds will have to rely upon a third party to pursue appropriate remedies against a borrower in the event of a default. As a result, the Private Debt Funds may be subject to delays, expenses and risks that are greater than those that would be involved if the Private Fund could enforce its rights directly against a borrower or through the agent.

Furthermore, a borrower of a bank loan, in some cases, may prepay the bank loan. Prepayments could adversely affect the Private Fund's interest income to the extent that the Private Fund is unable to reinvest promptly payments in bank loans or otherwise or if such prepayments were made during a period of declining interest rates.

**Valuation of Private Investments** — The underlying investments of some of the Private Debt Funds are not publicly traded, and the Private Debt Funds may consider information provided by the institutional asset manager of each respective private investment to determine the estimated value of the Private Fund's investment therein. The valuation provided by an institutional asset manager as of a specific date may vary from the actual sale price that may be obtained if such investment were sold to a third party. To determine the estimated value of the Private Fund's investment in private investments, the Private Fund considers, among other things, information provided by the private investments, which if inaccurate could adversely affect the Private Fund's ability to value accurately the Private Fund's shares. Private investments that invest primarily in publicly traded securities are more easily valued.

**Fixed Income Risk** — The value of investments in fixed income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing a Private Fund's share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

**High Yield and Unrated Securities Risk** — These securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks and are more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher quality securities. High yield securities offer the potential for higher return, but also involve greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased possibility that the security's issuer, obligor or guarantor may not be able to make its payments of interest and principal (credit quality risk). If that happens, the value of the security may decrease. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates (interest rate risk) could adversely affect the market for these securities and reduce the Private Fund's ability to sell its securities (liquidity risk). Such securities also may be subject to resale restrictions. The lack of a liquid market for these securities could decrease the Private Fund's share price.

The risks associated with unrated securities can be similar to the risks of below investment grade securities. In addition, the determination of credit quality for an unrated security is based largely on the credit analysis performed by the Private Fund manager or the Adviser, and not on rating agency evaluation. This analysis may be difficult to perform because information about these securities may not be in the public domain and the issuers may not be subject to reporting requirements under federal securities laws.

**5. Risk Factors** (cont.)

**Interest Rate Risk** — The fixed-income instruments that the Private Debt Funds may invest in are subject to the risk that market values of such securities will decline as interest rates increase. These changes in interest rates have a more pronounced effect on securities with longer durations. Typically, the impact of changes in interest rates on the market value of an instrument will be more pronounced for fixed-rate instruments, such as most corporate bonds, than it will for floating rate instruments. Fluctuations in the value of portfolio securities will not affect interest income on existing portfolio securities but will be reflected in the Private Fund's NAV. It cannot be predicted with certainty when, or how, the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies will change, but actions by the Federal Reserve and other central bankers may have a significant effect on interest rates and on the U.S. and world economies generally. Market volatility, rising interest rates, uncertainty around interest rates and/or unfavorable economic conditions could adversely affect the Fund's business.

**Prepayment Risk** — Prepayment risk is the risk that principal on a debt obligation may be repaid earlier than anticipated. If interest rates fall, the underlying debt may be repaid ahead of schedule, reducing the value of the Fund's investments and may cause the Fund to have to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund's income.

The frequency at which prepayments (including voluntary prepayments by obligors and accelerations due to defaults) occur on debt instruments will be affected by a variety of factors including the prevailing level of interest rates and spreads, as well as economic, demographic, tax, social, legal and other factors. Generally, obligors tend to prepay their fixed-rate obligations when prevailing interest rates fall below the coupon rates on their obligations. Similarly, floating rate issuers and borrowers tend to prepay their obligations when spreads narrow.

**Foreign Securities Risk** — Foreign securities have investment risks different from those associated with domestic securities. Changes in foreign economies and political climates are more likely to affect a Private Fund with investments in foreign securities than another fund that invests exclusively in domestic securities. The value of foreign currency denominated securities or foreign currency contracts is affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. There may be less government supervision of foreign markets, resulting in non-uniform accounting practices and less publicly available information about issuers of foreign securities. The value of foreign investments may be affected by changes in exchange control regulations, application of foreign tax laws (including withholding tax), changes in governmental economic or monetary policy (in this country or abroad), or changed circumstances in dealings between nations. In addition, foreign brokerage commissions, custody fees and other costs of investing in foreign securities are often higher than in the United States. Investments in foreign issues could be affected by other factors not present in the United States, including expropriation, armed conflict, confiscatory taxation and potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations.

**Foreign Currency Risk** — Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may affect the value of instruments held by the Private Debt Funds and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. Currencies of certain countries may be volatile and, therefore, may affect the value of instruments denominated in such currencies, which means that the Private Fund's NAV could decline as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. The Private Debt Funds may, but are not required to, seek to protect itself from changes in currency exchange rates through hedging transactions depending on market conditions. The Private Debt Funds may incur costs in connection with the conversions between various currencies. In addition, certain countries may impose foreign currency exchange controls or other restrictions on the repatriation, transferability or convertibility of currency.

**Inflation/Deflation Risk** — Inflation risk is the risk that the value of certain assets or income from the Fund's investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund and its distributions can decline.

In addition, during any periods of rising inflation, the dividend rates or borrowing costs associated with the Fund's use of leverage would likely increase, which would tend to further reduce returns to shareholders. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time — the opposite of inflation. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer defaults more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund's portfolio.

**5. Risk Factors** (cont.)

Due to global supply chain disruptions, a rise in energy prices, strong consumer demand as economies continue to reopen and other factors, inflation has accelerated in the U.S. and globally. Recent inflationary pressures have increased the costs of labor, energy and raw materials and have adversely affected consumer spending, economic growth and portfolio companies' operations. If such portfolio companies are unable to pass any increases in their costs of operations along to their customers, it could adversely affect their operating results and impact their ability to pay interest and principal on their loans, particularly if interest rates rise in response to inflation. In addition, any projected future decreases in a portfolio companies' operating results due to inflation could adversely impact the fair value of those investments. Any decreases in the fair value of our investments could result in future realized or unrealized losses and therefore reduce our net assets resulting from operations.

Additionally, the Federal Reserve has raised, and has indicated its willingness to continue raising, certain benchmark interest rates in an effort to combat inflation. As such, inflation may continue in the near to medium-term, particularly in the United States, with the possibility that monetary policy may tighten in response.

#### Risks Associated with Debt Financing
**Leveraging Risk** — The use of leverage, such as borrowing money to purchase securities or to finance repurchase offers, by the Fund will magnify the Fund's gains or losses. The use of leverage short positions in futures contracts will also magnify the Fund's gains or losses. Generally, the use of leverage also will cause the Fund to have higher expenses (especially interest-related dividend expenses) than those of funds that do not use such techniques. In addition, a lender to the Fund may terminate or refuse to renew any credit facility. If the Fund is unable to access additional credit, it may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, which may further depress the returns on the Fund. The Fund may borrow no more than 331/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets, including the value of the assets purchased with the proceeds of its indebtedness, if any.

**Credit Risk** — There is a risk that debt issuers will not make payments, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities may be lowered if an issuer's financial condition changes. Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security and in shares of the Fund. Lower credit quality also may affect liquidity and make it difficult to sell the security. Default, or the market's perception that an issuer is likely to default, could reduce the value and liquidity of securities, thereby reducing the value of your investment in Fund shares. In addition, default may cause the Fund to incur expenses in seeking recovery of principal or interest on its portfolio holdings.

#### Possible Risk of Conflicts
**Possible Competition Between Private Debt Funds and Between the Fund and the Private Debt Funds** — The Private Debt Funds operate independently of each other and may pursue investment strategies that "compete" with each other for execution or that cause the Fund to participate in positions that offset each other (in which case the Fund would bear its pro rata share of commissions and fees without the potential for a profit). Also, the Fund's investments in any particular Private Fund could increase the level of competition for the same trades that other Private Debt Funds might otherwise make, including the priorities of order entry. This could make it difficult or impossible to take or liquidate a position in a particular security at a price consistent with the Adviser's strategy.

**Allocation of Investment Opportunities Risk** — The Adviser, directly or through its affiliates, may manage or advise multiple investment vehicles or accounts that have investment objectives that are similar to the Fund and that may seek to make investments or sell investments in the same securities or other instruments, sectors or strategies as the Fund. This may create potential conflicts, particularly in circumstances where the availability of such investment opportunities is limited or where the liquidity of such investment opportunities is limited. The results of the Fund's investment activities may differ significantly from the results achieved by such other managed investment vehicles or accounts. It is possible that one or more of such vehicles or accounts will achieve investment results that are substantially more or less favorable than the results achieved by the Fund.

#### Private Debt & Income Fund <br>Notes to the Financial Statement <br>September 30, 2025 (Unaudited)
**6. Contingencies and Commitments**

The Fund indemnifies the Fund's officers and the Board for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Fund is required to provide financial support in the form of investment commitments to certain investees as part of the conditions for entering into such investments. As of September 30, 2025, the Fund had no unfunded commitments.

**7. Capital Stock**

The Fund intends to repurchase shares from shareholders in accordance with written tenders by shareholders at those times, in those amounts, and on such terms and conditions as the Board of Trustees may determine in its sole discretion. Each repurchase offer will generally be limited to an amount equal to or less than 15% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. In determining whether the Fund should offer to repurchase shares from shareholders, the Board of Trustees will consider the recommendations of the Adviser as to the size and timing of such an offer, as well as a variety of operational, business and economic factors. The Adviser expects that it will recommend to the Board of Trustees that the Fund offer to repurchase shares from shareholders quarterly.

If the Board of Trustees elects to offer to repurchase shares, the Fund will provide notice of the repurchase offer that explains the terms and conditions of the repurchase (the "offer"). The Fund will provide the offer either by mailing such offer to the shareholder's address of record on the books of the Transfer Agent or by publishing the offer in a newspaper with a national circulation. The offer will be provided at least 20 business days prior to the final date on which the shareholder must notify the Fund that the shareholder has elected to tender shares to the Fund (a "notice date").

To the extent that shareholders tender shares that in the aggregate exceed the percentage of the Fund's outstanding shares specified for repurchase in that repurchase offer, the Fund may repurchase shares tendered by each tendering shareholder in the same proportion that the percentage of the Fund's outstanding shares specified in the repurchase offer bears to the total shares tendered. For example, if the Fund makes an offer to repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares and receives tenders for 10% of its outstanding shares in the aggregate, the Fund may repurchase from each tendering shareholder 50% of the shares tendered by that shareholder.

The Board of Trustees may, pursuant to its discretion, decide to limit, modify, postpone or suspend repurchase offers, including to prevent forced liquidations of illiquid holdings in adverse market conditions. If modification of the Fund's repurchase procedures as described above is deemed necessary to comply with regulatory requirements, the Board of Trustees may seek to implement new procedures reasonably designed to provide shareholders with substantially the same liquidity for shares as would be available under the procedures described above.

During the period ended September 30, 2025, the Fund did not complete any quarterly repurchase offers.

**8. Subsequent Events**

In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Fund's financial statements.

#### Private Debt & Income Fund <br>Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
In connection with the Board meeting held on January 24, 2025, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, discussed the approval of a management agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, with respect to the Fund (the "Investment Advisory Agreement").

The Trustees were assisted by legal counsel throughout the review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In connection with their deliberations regarding approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed materials prepared by the Adviser.

In deciding on whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:

*Nature, Extent and Quality of Services.* The Trustees reviewed materials provided by the Adviser regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser, including an overview of the Adviser and the personnel that would perform services for the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the most recent Form ADV for the Adviser and considered the qualifications, background and responsibilities of the members of the Adviser's portfolio management team who would oversee the day-to-day investment management and operations of the Fund.

*Performance*. The Trustees considered that the Fund is newly formed and, as such, does not have a record of prior performance to submit at the Meeting. The Adviser did not have any comparative performance to present at this time but provided background on their experience and knowledge regarding managing private credit multi-manager strategies. The Adviser also provided 1 year, 5 year, 10 year and since inception information for the Fund's peer group and expected Morningstar Category. The Trustees concluded that, based on the Fund's investment strategy and the Adviser's presentation, the Adviser had the expertise to fulfill the Fund's investment mandate.

*Fees and Expenses*. The Trustees next considered information regarding the proposed management fee for the Fund. They compared the Fund's proposed management fee to expense information for the Fund's peer group and category, as presented by the Adviser, noting that the proposed management fee was below peer group and category average. Upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board determined that the fee to be paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and that it reflected charges that were within a range of what could have been negotiated at arm's length.

*Profitability*. The Trustees considered the Adviser's anticipated profitability. The Trustees considered that the Fund is not yet operational, and no record of profitability exists. The Trustees also took into account the Adviser's estimated costs of managing the Fund and information provided by the Adviser regarding its financial condition noting that the Fund was expected to be profitable for the Adviser in both the first and second year of operations.

*Economies of Scale*. The Trustees considered whether the Adviser would realize economies of scale with respect to its management of the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund would not immediately realize economies of scale upon launch. The Trustees reviewed the Fund's fee arrangements for breakpoints or other provisions that would allow the Fund's shareholders to benefit from economies of scale in the future as the Fund grows. The Trustees noted that the management fee is structured in a way to focus on cost efficiency and value, avoiding fixed expenses, as the Fund achieves economies of scale.

*Conclusion*. The Trustees, having requested and received such information from the Adviser as it believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the proposed Advisory Agreement, with the Independent Trustees having met in executive session with counsel, determined that approval of the Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term is in the best interests of the Fund and its future shareholders.
