<u>Material Conflicts of Interest</u>. Potential conflicts may arise out of: (a) each Portfolio Manager's execution of different investment strategies for various accounts; or (b) the allocation of investment opportunities among each Portfolio Manager's accounts with the same strategy.

A Portfolio Manager may oversee funds and/or accounts managed under similar strategies and objectives. Potential conflicts of interest may arise as a result of a Portfolio Manager's responsibility for multiple accounts with similar investment guidelines. Under these circumstances, a potential investment may be suitable for more than one of a Portfolio Manager's accounts, but the quantity of the investment available for purchase is less than the aggregate amount the accounts would ideally devote to the opportunity.

Compensation paid by the clients varies, based on the type of account and services provided, and, in some situations, it is individually negotiated. A potential conflict may arise when a Portfolio Manager is responsible for accounts that have different advisory fees — the difference in fees could create an incentive for a Portfolio Manager to favor one account over another, for example, in terms of access to investment opportunities. Generally, compensation is computed as a percentage of assets under management for the client.

Generally speaking, there are no situations where the Fund's opportunities or the execution of their investment programs (e.g., purchases and sales) may be compromised or limited by the investments of other clients.

<u>Compensation</u>.

Each Portfolio Manager is employed and compensated by BOH, and not the Fund. Under BOH's compensation program, each Portfolio Manager's incentive compensation is based on a number of factors, including fund and account performance measured against appropriate benchmarks selected by the fund(s) or by BOH's management in the case of separate accounts. This compensation program is intended to align each Portfolio Manager's level of expertise relative to the success of those funds and accounts. BOH's overall compensation program is also designed to attract and retain highly qualified investment management professionals and to motivate individuals to create shareholder value.

For the portion of the incentive bonus related to portfolio performance, two measures are used: 1) performance of the portfolio relative to the benchmark index, and 2) performance of the portfolio relative to a peer group of similarly managed funds. The percentage payout calculations are scaled such that if performance is at or below a minimum threshold (i.e. below the benchmark or peer group median), no bonus for performance will be paid, if slightly above, a small percentage is paid and if well above, the maximum percentage can be paid.

Like all employees of BOH, each Portfolio Manager is eligible to participate in a Retirement Savings Plan. Under the Plan, various types of contributions are made to employees by BOH including value (profit) sharing, BOH match (which is linked to a participant's 401(k) savings contributions) and BOH fixed contribution. If a Portfolio Manager is a certain grade level or higher, he or she is also eligible to participate in a restricted share program where awards may be granted to employees whose responsibilities place them in a position to make a substantial contribution to the financial success of BOH. This component of the compensation program is intended to be internally equitable and serve to reduce potential conflicts of interest between the Trust and other funds and accounts managed by a Portfolio Manager. The compensation structure of the other Trusts and accounts managed by each Portfolio Manager are the same as the compensation structure of the Fund.

<u>Ownership of Securities</u>. As of February 28, 2026, each Portfolio Manager did not beneficially own equity securities in the Fund.
