&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*None of the Accounts has an advisory fee that is based on the performance of the account.*

*Dollar value range of shares owned in the Fund: None.*

Anastacio Teodoro is paid a fixed base salary and various annual incentives. Base salary is determined within a market competitive, position-specific salary range, based on the portfolio manager's experience and performance. The annual incentive amount is determined based primarily on Investment Product Performance (IPP), and the annual incentives may include certain guaranteed amounts, plus variable amounts based on achievement of certain product-specific revenue targets, plus a variable amount that is determined based on multiple performance criteria using a Balanced Scorecard methodology. The annual incentive amounts may be paid entirely in cash, or in a combination of cash and restricted stock of Federated Hermes, Inc. ("Federated Hermes"). The total combined annual incentive opportunity is intended to be competitive in the market for this portfolio manager role.

IPP is calculated based on other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. IPP is measured on a rolling one, three and five calendar year pre-tax gross return basis versus the other accounts' designated peer groups. Performance periods are adjusted if a portfolio manager has been managing an account for less than five years; accounts with less than one year of performance history under a portfolio manager may be excluded.

As noted above, Mr. Teodoro is also the portfolio manager for other accounts. Such other accounts may have different benchmarks and performance measures. The allocation or weighting given to the performance of the other accounts for which Mr. Teodoro is responsible when his compensation is calculated may be equal or can vary.

For purposes of calculating the annual incentive amount, each account managed by the portfolio manager currently is categorized into one of five IPP groups (which may be adjusted periodically). Within each performance measurement period and IPP group, IPP currently is calculated on the basis of an assigned weighting to each account managed by the portfolio manager and included in the IPP groups (but can be adjusted periodically). Additionally, a portion of Mr. Teodoro's IPP score is based on the performance of the accounts for which he provides research and analytic support. A portion of the bonus tied to the IPP score may be adjusted based on management's assessment of overall contributions to account performance and any other factors as deemed relevant.

Any individual allocations from the discretionary pools may be determined, by executive management on a discretionary basis using various factors, such as, for example, on a product, strategy or asset class basis, and considering overall contributions and any other factors deemed relevant (and may be adjusted periodically).

As a separate matter, Mr. Teodoro may receive additional discretionary bonus consideration based on achievement of specified revenue targets with respect to the Fund and other accounts managed by Mr. Teodoro. While all accounts managed by Mr. Teodoro are taken into account in determining any such additional consideration, the amount of this additional consideration can be adjusted up or down based on changes in the revenue results from certain other accounts and can vary by account depending upon revenue results, and the amount of additional consideration earned with respect to the Fund also can be less or more than the amount earned with respect to one or more other accounts.

In addition, Mr. Teodoro was awarded a grant of restricted Federated Hermes stock. Awards of restricted stock are discretionary and are made in variable amounts based on the subjective judgment of Federated Hermes' senior management.
