Sequoia Fund

May 1, 2026

#### SEQUOIA FUND, INC. (the "Fund")

#### Investment Objective
The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital.

#### Fees and Expenses of the Fund
 **This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.** 

***Shareholder Fees*** (fees paid directly from your investment)

The Fund does not impose any sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees.

***Annual Fund Operating Expenses*** (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Management Fees | 1.00% |
| Other Expenses | 0.11% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses\* | 1.11% |
| Expense Reimbursement by the Adviser\* | (0.11)% |
| Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses\* | 1.00% |

---

 *\** 

*It is the intention of Ruane Cunniff L.P. (the "Adviser") to ensure the Fund does not pay in excess of 1.00% in Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses. This expense reimbursement obligation is a provision of the Adviser's investment advisory contract with the Fund and the reimbursement obligation will be in effect only so long as that investment advisory contract is in effect.* 

#### Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 Year**  | **3 Years**  | **5 Years**  | **10 Years**  |
| $113  | $353  | $612  | $1352 |

---

#### Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 10% of the average value of its portfolio.

#### Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. In pursuing this objective, the Fund focuses on investing in equity securities that it believes are undervalued at the time of purchase and have the potential for growth. A guiding principle is the consideration of equity securities, such as common stock, as units of ownership of a business and the purchase of them when the price appears low in relation to the value of the total enterprise.

No weight is given to technical stock market studies. The balance sheet and earnings history and prospects of each company are extensively studied to appraise fundamental intrinsic value. The Fund normally invests in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers with any market capitalization. The Fund may sell the security of an issuer for a variety of reasons, including when the issuer shows deteriorating fundamentals, its earnings progress falls short of the Adviser's expectations or its valuation appears excessive relative to its expected future earnings.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Sequoia Fund

May 1, 2026

Ordinarily, the Fund's portfolio is invested in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies. The Fund is not required, however, to be fully invested in equity securities and, in fact, usually maintains a portion of its total assets in cash or securities generally considered to be cash equivalents, including, but not limited to, short-term U.S. Government securities. Depending upon market conditions, cash reserves may be a significant percentage of the Fund's net assets. The Fund is classified as non-diversified.

#### Principal Risks
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Market Risk.** This is the risk that the market values of the Fund's investments will decline, perhaps sharply and unpredictably, or fail to rise, for various reasons including changes or potential or perceived changes in U.S. or foreign economies, financial markets, interest rates, the liquidity of investments and other factors including terrorism, war, tariffs, natural disasters and public health events and crises, including disease/virus outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics. The resulting short-term and long-term effects and consequences of such events and factors on global and local economies and specific countries, regions, businesses, industries and companies cannot necessarily be foreseen or predicted. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. Advancements in technology may adversely impact markets and the overall performance of the Fund. For example, as artificial intelligence is used more widely, the profitability and growth of Fund holdings may be impacted, which could significantly impact the overall performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Value Investing Risk.** Investing in undervalued securities involves the risk that such securities may never reach their expected market value, either because the market fails to recognize a security's intrinsic worth or the expected value was misgauged. Such securities may decline in value even though they are already undervalued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Fund is "non-diversified," meaning that it invests its assets in a smaller number of companies than many other funds. As a result, your investment in the Fund has the risk that changes in the value of a single security may have a significant effect, either negative or positive, on the Fund's net asset value per share ("NAV").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Foreign (Non-U.S.) Risk.** This is the risk that the value of the Fund's investments in securities of foreign issuers will be affected adversely by foreign economic, social and political conditions and developments or by the application of foreign legal, regulatory, accounting and auditing standards or foreign taxation policies or by currency fluctuations and controls. The risks to the Fund and, therefore, to your investment in the Fund, of investing in foreign securities include expropriation, settlement difficulties, market illiquidity and higher transaction costs. The prices of foreign securities may move in a different direction than the prices of U.S. securities. In addition, the prices of foreign securities may be more volatile than the prices of U.S. securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Currency Risk.** This refers to the risk that securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. An increase in the strength of the U.S. Dollar relative to a foreign currency will generally cause the U.S. Dollar value of an investment denominated in that currency to decline. Currency risk may be hedged or unhedged. Unhedged currency exposure may result in gains or losses as a result of a change in the relationship between the U.S. Dollar and the respective foreign currency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Growth Company Risk.** The prices of growth securities are often highly sensitive to market fluctuations because of their heavy dependence on future earnings or cash flow expectations, and can be more volatile than the market in general.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Company Risk.** Investing in securities of small-cap and mid-cap companies may involve greater risks than investing in securities of larger, more established issuers. Small-cap and mid-cap companies may be engaged in business within a narrow geographic region, be less well-known to the investment community and have more volatile share prices. These companies often lack management depth and have narrower market penetrations, less diverse product lines and fewer resources than larger companies. Moreover, the securities of such companies often have less market liquidity and, as a result, their stock prices often react more strongly to changes in the marketplace.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Risks of Investing in a Managed Fund.** Performance of individual securities can vary widely. The investment decisions of the Adviser may cause the Fund to underperform other investments or benchmark indices. The Fund may also underperform other mutual funds with similar investment strategies. The Adviser may be incorrect in assessing

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Sequoia Fund

a particular industry or company, including the anticipated earnings growth of the company. The Adviser may not buy securities at the lowest possible prices or sell securities at the highest possible prices. As with any mutual fund investment, there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Illiquid Investments Risk.** When there is no willing buyer and a security cannot be readily sold at the desired time or price, the Fund may need to accept a lower price or may not be able to sell the security at all. An inability to sell securities, at the Fund's desired price or at all, can adversely affect the Fund's value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Capital Gain Risk.** As of the date of this Prospectus, a substantial portion of the Fund's NAV is attributable to realized and/or net unrealized capital gains on portfolio securities. If the Fund realizes capital gains in excess of realized capital losses in any fiscal year, it generally expects to make capital gain distributions to shareholders. You may receive distributions that are attributable to appreciation of portfolio securities that happened before you made your investment. Unless you purchase shares through a tax-advantaged account (such as an IRA or 401(k) plan), these distributions will be taxable to you even though they economically represent a return of a portion of your investment. If such distribution is reinvested in Fund shares, any such income or gain will increase the tax basis of your shares, which will reduce the amount of gain or increase the amount of loss you recognize on a disposition of your shares.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. As with any investment, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.

#### Bar Chart and Performance Information
The bar chart and the table shown below provide an indication of the historical risk of an investment in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year-to-year over a 10-year period and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for one, five, and ten years compare to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500 Index"), a broad-based securities market index. The Fund's past performance, of course, does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future.

![[MISSING IMAGE: bc_sequoie-4c.jpg]](bc_sequoie-4c.jpg)

During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return for a quarter was 27.21% (2<sup>nd</sup> quarter 2020) and the lowest return for a quarter was -22.17% (1<sup>st</sup> quarter 2020).

#### Average Annual Total Returns (for the periods ended December 31, 2025)

After-tax returns are estimates, which are calculated using the highest historical individual Federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. In some instances, the "Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" may be greater than "Return Before Taxes" because the investor is assumed to be able to use the capital loss of the sale of Fund shares to offset other taxable gains. Actual after-tax returns depend on an individual investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

#### Investment Adviser
The Fund's investment adviser is Ruane Cunniff L.P.

#### Portfolio Managers
The following persons serve as co-portfolio managers of the Fund and are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Employee**  | **Title**  | **Length of Service<br>with the Fund**  |
| John B. Harris | President and Chief Executive Officer of the Fund; Managing Director of the Adviser; Management Committee member of RCG-GP LLC (the Adviser's general partner) | Since May 2016  |
| Arman Gokgol-Kline | Analyst of the Adviser; Management Committee member of RCG-GP LLC | Since May 2016  |
| Trevor Magyar | Analyst of the Adviser; Management Committee member of RCG-GP LLC | Since May 2016 |

#### Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
Your purchase of Fund shares is subject to the following minimum initial investment amounts, which are subject to waiver:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Type of Account**  | **Minimum Initial Investment**  |
| Regular | $5000 |
| IRA | $2500 |

---

The Fund does not impose minimum investment amounts with respect to subsequent investments.

You may redeem your shares (*i.e.,* sell your shares to the Fund) on any day the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is open. You may redeem Fund shares by contacting the Fund: (i) by telephone at 800-686-6884; (ii) in writing c/o SS&C GIDS, Inc., P.O. Box 219477, Kansas City, Missouri 64121-9477; or (iii) through the Internet at www.sequoiafund.com (if you have online transaction capabilities). You may redeem Fund shares held indirectly through a financial intermediary by contacting that financial intermediary directly.

#### Additional Information
At a meeting held on March 6, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") approved the Reorganization (as defined below) of the Fund into an exchange-traded fund ("ETF"). Subject to shareholder approval, the Fund will be reorganized into a newly-established ETF, which is a series of the Northern Lights Fund Trust II (the "Reorganization"). The ETF will be managed by the Adviser and will have the same investment objectives, investment strategies, fundamental investment restrictions and portfolio management team and substantially similar investment risks as the Fund.

The Board has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Fund and will not result in the dilution of the interests of existing shareholders of the Fund. The ETF structure is expected to offer improved tax efficiency, greater trading flexibility, and increased transparency of portfolio holdings. There are also certain risks, costs and other considerations associated with the Reorganization, including the risk that shares of the ETF trade in the secondary market at prices that may differ from the NAV, that shareholders of the ETF may be charged fees and commissions by their brokers when transacting in ETF shares, that certain account types generally cannot hold shares of ETFs, and certain other risks associated with ETF shares. The Board believes, however, that the benefits of the Reorganization substantially outweigh the risks, costs and other considerations.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Sequoia Fund

May 1, 2026

The Reorganization will be presented to shareholders of the Fund at a special meeting of shareholders, which is scheduled to be held on or about July 27, 2026.

If the Reorganization is approved by shareholders and subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Reorganization is currently expected to close in mid-September. Upon closing, shareholders who hold their Fund shares in a brokerage account eligible to hold ETF shares will receive ETF shares having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their Fund shares held immediately prior to the Reorganization, plus any cash in lieu of fractional shares, if applicable. As a result, such shareholders will become shareholders of the ETF and will no longer be shareholders of the Fund. The Fund will then be dissolved.

#### Tax Information for the Fund
The Fund intends to make distributions that may be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains. Please reference the SAI for more information about the prospective tax implications of an investment in the Fund.

#### Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for recordkeeping, shareholder servicing and other administrative services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.

#### MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

#### Investment Adviser
The Fund's investment adviser is Ruane Cunniff L.P. (the "Adviser"), 45 Rockefeller Plaza, 34<sup>th</sup> Floor, New York, New York 10111. The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The Adviser furnishes investment advisory services to the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory contract (the "Advisory Contract"). Under the Advisory Contract, the Adviser receives an annual fee equal to 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Pursuant to the Advisory Contract, the Adviser is contractually obligated to reimburse the Fund for the amount, if any, by which the operating expenses of the Fund (including the investment advisory fee) in any year exceed the sum of 1<sup>1</sup>∕2% of the average daily net asset value of the Fund for such year up to a maximum of $30 million of net assets plus 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net asset value in excess of $30 million. This reimbursement will be in effect only so long as the Advisory Contract is in effect. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund's payment to the Adviser amounted to 0.89% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after subtracting certain Fund operating expenses that the Adviser reimbursed to the Fund.

A discussion regarding the basis for the approval by the Board of the Advisory Contract is available in the Fund's Form N-CSR for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

#### Portfolio Managers and Investment Committee
John B. Harris, Arman Gokgol-Kline and Trevor Magyar, the co-portfolio managers of the Fund, are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio, subject to the investment parameters established from time to time by the Investment Committee of the Adviser (the "Committee"). The Committee, which reflects the team approach used by the Adviser, is comprised of the co-portfolio managers, all of whom are voting members of the Committee, and Greg Alexander, who is a non-voting member of the Committee. The Committee meets regularly to discuss investment parameters for the Fund. The following table lists the co-portfolio managers and each person's principal occupation during the past five years:

---

|:---|:---|
| **Employee**  | **Principal Occupation During the Past Five (5) Years**  |
| John B. Harris\* | President and Chief Executive Officer of the Fund; Managing Director of the Adviser; Management Committee member of RCG-GP LLC (the Adviser's general partner); Management Committee member of the Adviser's parent; analyst of the Adviser since prior to 2021. |
| Arman Gokgol-Kline | Analyst of the Adviser and Management Committee member of RCG-GP LLC. He has been associated with the Adviser in a substantially similar capacity to his current analyst position since prior to 2021. |
| Trevor R. Magyar | Analyst of the Adviser and Management Committee member of RCG-GP LLC. He has been associated with the Adviser in a substantially similar capacity to his current analyst position since prior to 2021. |

 *\** 

*Chair of the Investment Committee. Mr. Harris may take actions for the Fund that are not within the investment parameters established by the Committee in the event that he determines that events or circumstances require him to take such actions and it is not practicable to convene a meeting of the Committee. Mr. Harris has been authorized by the Committee to limit the value of the Fund's investment in any security from exceeding 20% of the Fund's net assets.* 

The Fund's Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") provides additional information about the compensation of the co-portfolio managers, other accounts managed by such persons, and such persons' ownership of the Fund's securities.

#### PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

#### How the Fund Values Its Shares
The Fund calculates its NAV at the close of regular trading on the Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) each day the Exchange is open for business. Generally this means any weekday exclusive of New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. To calculate the NAV, the Fund's assets are valued and totaled, liabilities are subtracted, and the balance, called net assets, is divided by the number of shares outstanding. The Fund values its assets at their current market value determined on the basis of market quotations or, if such quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable, at "fair value" as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as valuation designee to perform fair value determinations relating to the Fund's portfolio investments, subject to the Board's oversight.

When it uses fair value pricing, the Fund may take into account various factors that it deems appropriate, including developments related to the specific security, price and trading comparisons of securities of comparable issuers, the liquidity of the market for the security and current valuations of appropriate surrogates such as American Depositary Receipts or foreign futures indices. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments. Accordingly, it is possible that the fair value price determined for a security will differ materially from the price that is realized upon the sale of that security.

The Fund expects to use fair value pricing for securities primarily traded on U.S. exchanges only under limited circumstances, such as the early closing of the exchange on which a security is traded or suspension of trading in the security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities at the close of the Exchange. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market movements, may have occurred in the interim.

Your order for purchase of shares is priced at the next-determined NAV calculated after your order is received in "good order" (see definition under "Additional Purchase Information") by the Fund. If you purchase or redeem shares on a day when the Exchange is closed, the NAV will be determined as of the close of business on the next following day that the Exchange is open for trading. Since certain securities owned by the Fund trade on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares, the value of the Fund's assets may change on days when you are unable to purchase or redeem shares.

The Fund reserves the right to reject any order to purchase shares (including additional investments by existing shareholders).

#### How to Buy Shares
You may purchase shares of the Fund directly by mail, by wire transfer or through the Internet at www.sequoiafund.com (if you have online transaction capabilities) or indirectly through participating financial intermediaries that have selling or other similar arrangements with the Fund. After you have established an account with the Fund directly and made your first purchase, you may make subsequent purchases by mail or telephone or through the Internet at www.sequoiafund.com (if you have online transaction capabilities) or the Fund's automatic investment plan. The Fund accepts purchase orders for fractional shares.

The Fund reserves the right to withdraw the offering of Fund shares at any time, without notice.

*Important Note to New Taxable Investors*: **As of March 31, 2026, the net unrealized appreciation of the Fund's portfolio was approximately 40% of the Fund's net assets.** If the Fund sells appreciated securities and distributes the profit, the distributed appreciation will be taxable to you either as capital gains or as ordinary income, depending upon how long the Fund held the appreciated securities. If such distribution is reinvested in Fund shares, any such income or gain will increase the tax basis of your shares, which will reduce the amount of gain or increase the amount of loss you recognize on a disposition of your shares. You should carefully consider the potential tax effects prior to making an investment in the Fund.

Federal law requires all financial institutions, including the Fund, to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person opening an account with the Fund. If you are opening an account with the Fund and do not provide the requested information, the Fund (or its transfer agent) may not be able to open an account for you. If the Fund (or its

transfer agent) is unable to verify your identity, or believes that it has identified potentially criminal activity, the Fund reserves the right to close your account or take such other action it deems reasonable or required by law.

#### Limitations or Restrictions on Purchases of Fund Shares
The Fund may impose limitations or restrictions on purchases of Fund shares periodically to protect the implementation of the Fund's investment strategy or objective. When Fund assets reach a level at which additional inflows can be invested without impairing the implementation of the Fund's investment strategy or objective, the Fund may remove an existing limitation or restriction on purchases of Fund shares.

When the Fund imposes a limitation or restriction on purchases of Fund shares or modifies a limitation or restriction, the Fund will post information concerning the limitation or restriction or modification on its website at www.sequoiafund.com. Investors may request information about any limitation or restriction by calling the Fund at 800-686-6884.

The Fund retains the right to make exceptions to any limitation or restriction on purchases of Fund shares. The SAI provides more information about why and when the Fund may impose limitations or restrictions on purchases of Fund shares.

The Fund has waived the initial minimum investment amounts for Fund shares purchased pursuant to the ReFlow Liquidity Program, as described in more detail below.

#### Purchases By Mail
To make your initial purchase of Fund shares by mail, complete the appropriate account application (located on the Fund's website), make a check payable to "Sequoia Fund, Inc.," and send the completed account application and check to:

---

Please note that an account cannot be opened by mail without a completed and signed account application.

To make subsequent purchases by mail, make a check payable to "Sequoia Fund, Inc." and mail the check to the above-referenced address that corresponds to the method of delivery. Please include your account number on the check. You will be charged a fee (minimum of $5.00) for any check used for the purchase of Fund shares that is returned unpaid.

The Fund does not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery services to be their agents. Therefore, deposit in the mail or with such services of purchase orders does not constitute receipt by the Fund's transfer agent. The share price used to fill the purchase order is the next price calculated by the Fund after the Fund's transfer agent receives the order in proper form at the P.O. Box provided for regular mail delivery or the office address provided for express mail delivery.

The transfer agent has adopted reasonable procedures to protect against unauthorized or ambiguous transactions. Assuming the transfer agent acts properly on your instructions and follows such procedures, neither the Fund, nor the transfer agent, will be responsible for any losses due to unauthorized or ambiguous instructions.

#### Purchases by Wire
To open an account with the Fund and make an initial purchase of Fund shares by wire, call 1-800-686-6884 for details. You must complete the appropriate account application prior to purchasing Fund shares by wire.

Wired funds must be received by the Fund prior to the close of the Exchange on any day in order to receive the Fund's NAV for that day. Heavy wire traffic over the Federal Reserve System may delay the arrival of purchase orders made by wire.

#### Purchases Through the Internet
You may open only the following types of accounts at www.sequoiafund.com: individual, joint, Transfer on Death, UGMA/UTMA and Traditional, SEP, Rollover and Roth IRAs ("Eligible Online Accounts"). Once you have opened an account online with the Fund and registered for online transaction privileges, you may make initial and additional purchases of Fund shares online. To purchase shares online, you must have Automated Clearing House ("ACH") instructions on your account. The ACH network is an electronic funds transfer system, which is governed by rules established by the National Automated Clearing House Association, an electronic payments association and the Federal Reserve. Purchases of Fund shares online will be completed via ACH, and the amount of the purchase will be deducted from your bank account. Your account with the Fund will be credited with Fund shares on the trade date, but the dollar amount will not post until it clears the banking system.

If you plan to purchase Fund shares through the Internet, please review the important information below under "Information about Online Account Information and Transactions."

#### Additional Purchases by Telephone
You may not make initial purchases of Fund shares by telephone. You may, however, make additional purchases of Fund shares by telephone if you have elected such option on the account application and provided the Fund with the necessary information to complete such purchases. Call 1-800-686-6884 for details. Purchases of Fund shares by telephone will be completed via ACH, and the amount of the purchase will be deducted from your bank account. Your account with the Fund will be credited with the additional shares on the trade date, but the dollar amount will not post until it clears the banking system.

#### Additional Purchases by the Automatic Investment Plan via ACH
You may not make initial purchases of Fund shares by ACH other than through online transaction privileges. You may, however, make additional purchases of Fund shares by ACH if you have elected the automatic investment plan option on the account application and provided the Fund with the necessary information to complete such purchases. Through the automatic investment plan, you can make fixed, periodic purchases of Fund shares by means of automatic money transfers (ACH transfers) from your bank account.

Please allow up to 15 days to establish the automatic investment plan for your Fund account. The Fund may amend or terminate the terms and conditions of the automatic investment plan option at any time and will notify you at least 30 days in advance if it does so.

You can cancel or modify the automatic investment plan with respect to your Fund account by making your cancellation or modification request: (i) in writing and sending the request to the address listed below; or (ii) through the Internet at www.sequoiafund.com.

#### Additional Purchase Information
Orders for the purchase of Fund shares will not be accepted unless they are in "good order." A purchase order is generally in "good order" if an acceptable form of payment accompanies the purchase order and the order includes:

(i) Your account number;

(ii) The number of shares to be purchased or the dollar value of the amount to be purchased;

(iii) Any required signatures of all account owners exactly as they are registered on the account;

(iv) Any required signature guarantees; and

(v) Any supporting legal documentation that is required in the case of estates, trusts, corporations or partnerships, and for certain types of other accounts.

The Adviser, at its discretion, reserves the right to waive the signature guarantee requirement.

Checks must be payable in U.S. dollars and must be drawn on a U.S. bank. Third-party checks (*i.e*., any check which is not made payable to the Fund, SS&C GIDS, Inc. or a retirement account custodian), credit cards, money orders, travelers' checks, bearer securities, cashier's checks and cash will not be accepted. You will be charged a fee (minimum of $5.00) for any check used for the purchase of Fund shares that is returned unpaid. If you purchased Fund shares by check, you may not receive the proceeds of a subsequent redemption request until there is a reasonable belief that the check has cleared, which may take up to 15 calendar days after the purchase date.

The transfer agent has adopted reasonable procedures to protect against unauthorized transactions made by telephone. Assuming the transfer agent acts properly on telephone instructions and follows such procedures, neither the Fund nor the transfer agent will be responsible for any losses due to transactions authorized by telephone.

#### Individual Retirement Accounts
You also may purchase shares for an individual retirement account, or IRA, including a Roth IRA. IRA investments are available for regular contributions as well as for qualified rollover contributions of distributions received from certain employer-sponsored pension and profit-sharing plans and from other IRAs. All assets in the IRA are automatically invested in Fund shares. There is an annual fee of $12.00 for an IRA account.

#### How to Redeem Shares
You may redeem your shares (*i.e.,* sell your shares to the Fund) on any day the Exchange is open. Your redemption price is the next NAV calculated after your order is received by the Fund. There is no redemption charge. Normally, payment for shares redeemed will be made within three days after receipt by the transfer agent of a written request in "good order." The Fund has the right to take up to seven days to pay your redemption proceeds, and may postpone payment longer in the event of an emergency as determined by the SEC. If you purchased Fund shares by check you may not receive redemption proceeds until there is reasonable belief that the check has cleared, which may take up to 15 days after payment has been received. Wires for direct accounts are subject to a $10.00 fee.

#### By Mail
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • You may send a written request for redemption to:

Sequoia Fund, Inc.

c/o SS&C GIDS, Inc.

P.O. Box 219477

Kansas City, MO 64121-9477

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Your request must include your account number and the number of shares to be redeemed or the dollar value of the amount to be redeemed. If your redemption request is more than $50,000, if your address has changed within the 60 days prior to the request, or if you would like your check to be sent to a third party or an address other than the address of record, your redemption request must include a signature guarantee. A signature guarantee may be

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Sequoia Fund

obtained from a domestic bank or trust company, broker, dealer, clearing agency, savings association, or other financial institution. An acknowledgment by a notary public is not acceptable. **If your request involves a redemption amount of more than $250,000, please include your telephone number.**

Certain shareholders, such as corporations, trusts and estates, may be required to submit additional documentation. The Fund participates in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP) Paperless Legal Program. Requests received with a Medallion Signature Guarantee will be reviewed for the proper criteria to meet the guidelines of the program and may not require additional documentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If you choose to have your redemption proceeds sent to the bank of record, please indicate if you would like to receive the proceeds via ACH (2 business days) or wire (next business day, subject to a $10 wire fee (your bank also may charge a fee)). If you are providing new bank instructions, the request must include a signature guarantee. A signature guarantee may be obtained from a domestic bank or trust company, broker, dealer, clearing agency, savings association, or other financial institution. An acknowledgment by a notary public is not acceptable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If your shares are held in certificate form, your request must be accompanied by the outstanding certificates representing such shares together with a standard form of stock power signed by the registered owner or owners of such shares. The signature on the stock power must be guaranteed.

#### By Telephone or Through the Internet
You may make a redemption request of $50,000 or less (per account per business day) by telephone or through the Internet, which does not require a signature guarantee, unless your address has changed within the 60 days prior to the request. All other redemption requests must have signature guarantees as described above.

If you plan to redeem Fund shares through the Internet, please review the important information below under "Information about Online Account Information and Transactions."

#### Payment of Redemption Requests
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Unless otherwise prohibited by law, the Fund may pay the redemption price to you in cash or in portfolio securities, or partly in cash and partly in portfolio securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Fund has adopted a policy under which the Fund may limit cash payments in connection with redemption requests to $250,000 during any ninety (90) day period. As a result, the Fund may pay you in securities or partly in securities if the amount of Fund shares that you redeem is more than $250,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • It is highly likely that the Fund will pay you in securities or partly in securities if you make a redemption (or series of redemptions) in an amount greater than $250,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • When satisfying redemption requests with portfolio securities, the Fund will deliver portfolio securities to you regardless of whether you have a brokerage or bank account into which you can take delivery of the securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If your redemption request involves more than $250,000 (or if your redemption request together with other redemption requests during any ninety (90) day period equal in the aggregate more than $250,000) and you have a brokerage or bank account into which portfolio securities can be delivered, you must provide the Fund with information about the brokerage or bank account, including the name of the broker or bank, their Depository Trust Company (DTC) participant account number and your brokerage or bank account number, and your telephone number at the time of your redemption request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If your redemption request involves more than $250,000 (or if your redemption request together with other redemption requests during any ninety (90) day period equal in the aggregate more than $250,000) and you do not have a brokerage or bank account into which the portfolio securities can be delivered, the Fund will determine the value of the portfolio securities to be delivered to you in redemption as of the date of redemption and:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If the portfolio securities are certificated, the Fund will send you by registered mail a certificate or certificates representing the securities promptly upon its receipt of the certificate or certificates from the issuer or issuers. The

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Sequoia Fund

issuer or issuers of the portfolio securities may not send certificates representing the securities to the Fund for a period of days. You may be unable to sell certificated portfolio securities registered in your name until you have received the certificate evidencing the securities; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If the portfolio securities are not certificated, the Fund will send you a letter by registered mail confirming that the portfolio securities have been registered in your name by the transfer agent of the issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • As noted above, the Fund may take up to seven days to satisfy a redemption request. To avoid delays in receiving portfolio securities, you should establish a brokerage or bank account into which the securities can be delivered and, as set forth above, provide the Fund with the brokerage or bank account information at the time of your redemption request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • You should understand that you will incur brokerage and other costs in connection with the sale of any portfolio security that you receive in connection with a redemption request. You should also understand that, as a result of subsequent market volatility, the net proceeds from the ultimate sale of any securities that you receive upon a redemption may vary, either positively or negatively, and perhaps significantly, from the redemption value of your Fund shares. If provided with notice in advance of your chosen redemption date, the Fund's management will assist you to the extent possible to minimize this potential market exposure by providing you in advance with a list of the approximate number and value of the portfolio securities that you will receive.

#### Automatic Withdrawal Plan
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • You may elect an Automatic Withdrawal Plan (the "Plan"), at no cost, if you own or purchase shares of the Fund valued at $10,000 or more. Call 800-686-6884 for details and to establish a Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Under the Plan, you may designate fixed payment amounts that you will receive monthly or quarterly from the Plan Account consisting of shares of the Fund that you deposit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Any cash dividends and capital gains distributions on shares held in the Plan Account are automatically reinvested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Sufficient shares will be redeemed at NAV to provide the cash necessary for each withdrawal payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Redemptions for the purpose of withdrawals are made on or about the 15th day of the month at that day's NAV, and checks are mailed promptly thereafter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If shares are registered in the name of a trustee or other fiduciary, payment will be made only to the fiduciary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • As withdrawal payments may include a return of principal, they cannot be considered a guaranteed annuity or actual yield of income to the investor. Continued withdrawals in excess of income will reduce and possibly exhaust invested principal, especially in the event of a market decline. Consult your financial adviser about whether the Plan is appropriate for you.

#### Information about Online Account Information and Transactions
To open an Eligible Online Account, please visit www.sequoiafund.com. Once you have opened an account online, you may check your Fund account balance, purchase or redeem shares of the Fund through the website and establish online transactional privileges (which require you to enter into a user's agreement to enroll for these privileges). Transactions through the website are subject to the same minimums as other transaction methods.

To purchase shares online, you must have ACH instructions on your account. Only bank accounts held at domestic financial institutions that are ACH members can be used for transactions through the Fund's website. Payment for purchases of Fund shares through the website may be made only through an ACH debit of your bank account.

The Fund limits the amount that you may redeem through the website to $50,000 or less per day. Redemption proceeds may be sent by check or, if your account has bank information, by wire or ACH. Redemptions will be paid by check, wire or ACH transfer only to the address or bank account of record.

You should be aware that the Internet is an unsecured, unstable, and unregulated environment. Your ability to use the Fund's website for transactions is dependent upon the Internet and equipment, software and systems provided by various vendors and third parties. While the Fund and its service providers have established reasonable security and other procedures addressing online privileges, they cannot assure you that inquiries, account information or trading activity will

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Sequoia Fund

be completely secure. There may also be delays, malfunctions or other inconveniences generally associated with this medium. There may also be times when the website is unavailable for Fund transactions or other purposes. Should this happen, you should consider purchasing or redeeming shares by another method.

Neither the Fund nor its affiliates or its transfer agent will be liable for any such delays or malfunctions or for unauthorized interception or access to communications or account information, provided the Fund and its service providers have followed their procedures addressing online privileges. In addition, neither the Fund nor its affiliates or its transfer agent will be liable for any loss, liability, cost or expense for following instructions communicated through the Internet, including fraudulent or unauthorized instructions, provided the Fund or its service provider accepting the instructions reasonably believe the instructions were genuine.

#### Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Shares
The Fund historically has been less at risk for frequent purchases and redemptions of shares of the Fund by shareholders of the Fund ("market timing") than other mutual funds. In addition, the Fund historically has not experienced significant shareholder turnover. Nonetheless, because market timing activities can be detrimental to the Fund's performance, the Fund, as a policy, discourages market timing and has a policy of monitoring trading of the Fund's shares for frequent purchases and redemptions. Consequently, the Fund has implemented certain surveillance procedures designed to detect and deter market timing. Under these procedures, the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer (the "CCO") reviews direct shareholder transactions for potential market timing activity. If the Fund's CCO determines that certain transactions rise to the level of market timing, the accounts in which those transactions have taken place may be immediately "blocked" and future purchases or exchange activity will be restricted or eliminated for such account or accounts for such term as the CCO shall determine. Purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by approved third parties, such as ReFlow Fund, LLC ("ReFlow"), in connection with the Fund's participation in their liquidity programs are not subject to these limitations.

#### Transactions Through Financial Services Organizations
Certain financial organizations such as broker-dealers, banks, and service providers have made arrangements with the Fund so that an investor may purchase or redeem shares through such organizations. In certain situations, the financial organizations may designate another financial entity to receive purchase and redemption orders on the Fund's behalf. The Fund will be deemed to have received purchase or redemption instructions when a financial organization receives the instructions, provided that the instructions are in "good order" and have been transmitted in a timely manner. Client orders received prior to the close of the Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time), will be priced at the Fund's NAV next calculated following the close of regular trading on that day. If you are a client of a securities broker or other financial organization, such organization may charge a separate transaction fee or a fee for administrative service in connection with investments in Fund shares and may impose different account minimums and other requirements. These fees and requirements would be in addition to those imposed by the Fund. If you are investing through a broker or other financial organization, please refer to the organization's program materials for any additional special provisions or conditions that may be different from those described in this Prospectus (for example, some or all of the services and privileges described may not be available to you).

Securities brokers and other financial organizations have the responsibility for transmitting purchase orders and funds, and of crediting their clients' accounts following redemptions, in a timely manner in accordance with their client agreements and this Prospectus.

Certain financial intermediaries holding Fund shares for the benefit of their customers provide recordkeeping, shareholder servicing and other administrative services to those customers investing in the Fund. The Adviser has agreed to pay certain of these financial intermediaries an asset-based fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets attributable to the intermediary for providing such recordkeeping, shareholder servicing and administrative services to their customers.

Publications other than those distributed by the Fund may contain comparisons of Fund performance to the performance of various indices and investments for which reliable data is widely available. These publications may also include averages, performance rankings, or other information prepared by Morningstar, Lipper, or other recognized organizations providing mutual fund statistics. The Fund is not responsible for the accuracy of any data published by third-party organizations.

#### ReFlow and Other Liquidity Programs
The Fund participates in the ReFlow Liquidity Program and other similar programs. The ReFlow Liquidity Program is designed to provide an alternative liquidity source for mutual funds. Pursuant to the program, ReFlow provides participating mutual funds (including the Fund) with a source of cash to meet net shareholder redemptions by standing ready each business day to purchase fund shares up to the value of the net shares redeemed by other shareholders that are to settle that business day. The Fund is not guaranteed to receive cash from ReFlow on any given day as allocation of ReFlow's available cash to participating funds is based on the results of ReFlow's automated daily auction process among participating mutual funds. Following purchases of Fund shares, ReFlow then generally redeems those shares when the Fund experiences net shareholder purchases or at the end of a maximum holding period determined by ReFlow (currently eight days), or at other times at ReFlow's discretion. While ReFlow holds Fund shares, it will have the same rights and privileges with respect to those shares as any other shareholder.

For use of the ReFlow service, the Adviser, on behalf of the Fund, pays a fee to ReFlow each time it purchases Fund shares, calculated by applying to the purchase amount a fee rate determined through the auction process. The current minimum fee rate (which is subject to change) is 0.14% of the value of the Fund shares purchased by ReFlow, although the Fund may submit a bid at a higher fee rate. The actual fee rate that may be charged to the Adviser, on behalf of the Fund, therefore may be higher than the minimum rate. ReFlow's purchases of Fund shares through the liquidity program are made on an investment-blind basis without regard to the Fund's objective, policies or anticipated performance. In accordance with federal securities laws, ReFlow is prohibited from acquiring more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. ReFlow will periodically redeem its entire share position in the Fund and may request that such redemption be met in-kind in accordance with the Fund's policies.

The Fund expects to satisfy redemption requests in-kind in connection with its participation in other liquidity programs and pay a fee to certain third parties arising from distributing non-U.S. portfolio securities to such parties.

ReFlow may purchase Fund shares at net asset value and will not be subject to the Fund's investment minimum. In addition, investments in the Fund by ReFlow and other approved third parties are not subject to the Fund's policy regarding frequent purchases and redemptions of shares of the Fund as described above under "Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Shares" in the Prospectus. The Board has approved the Fund's use of the ReFlow Liquidity Program and certain other liquidity programs.

#### Unclaimed Property
Each state has rules governing the definition and treatment of unclaimed property.

Triggers include inactivity (*e.g.,* no owner-generated activity for a certain period), returned mail (*e.g.,* when mail sent to a shareholder is returned by the post office, or "RPO," as undeliverable), or a combination of both inactivity and returned mail. Once property is flagged as unclaimed, an attempt is made to contact the shareholder (or a designated representative thereof), but if that attempt is unsuccessful, the account may be considered abandoned and escheated to the state. More information on unclaimed property and how to maintain an active account is available through your state or by calling 800-686-6884.

#### DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
Dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, declared by the Fund on its outstanding shares will, at the election of each shareholder, be paid in cash or in additional whole or fractional shares of the Fund. If paid in additional shares, the shares will have an aggregate NAV equal to the cash amount of the dividend or distribution. You may elect to receive dividends and distributions in cash or in shares at the time you order shares. You may change your election at any time prior to the record date for a particular dividend or distribution by sending a written request to:

Sequoia Fund, Inc.

c/o SS&C GIDS, Inc.

P.O. Box 219477

Kansas City, MO 64121-9477

There is no sales charge or other charge in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.

For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, distributions of net income (including any short-term capital gains) by the Fund are taxable to you as ordinary income. Distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains. The Fund's distributions also may be subject to state and local taxes.

A portion of the Fund's distributions may be treated as "qualified dividend income," taxable to individuals, trusts, and estates at the same preferential tax rates as long-term capital gains. A distribution is treated as qualified dividend income to the extent that the Fund receives dividend income from taxable domestic corporations and certain qualified foreign corporations, provided that holding period and other requirements are met.

Unrealized capital gains represent a substantial portion of the value of your investment in the Fund. **As of March 31, 2026, the net unrealized appreciation of the Fund's portfolio was approximately 40% of the Fund's net assets.** If the Fund sells appreciated securities and distributes the profit, the distributed appreciation will be taxable to you either as capital gains or as ordinary income, depending upon how long the Fund held the appreciated securities. If such distribution is reinvested in Fund shares, any such income or gain will increase the tax basis of your shares, which will reduce the amount of gain or increase the amount of loss you recognize on a disposition of your shares. You should carefully consider these potential tax effects on your investment in the Fund.

Dividends and distributions are taxable to you whether you receive the amount in cash or reinvest the amount in additional shares of the Fund. In addition, the redemption of Fund shares is a taxable transaction for U.S. Federal income tax purposes whether paid in cash or in kind. If you buy shares just before the Fund deducts a distribution from its NAV, you will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back as a taxable distribution.

Each year shortly after December 31, the Fund will send you tax information stating the amount and type of all its distributions for the year. You should consult your tax adviser about the U.S. Federal, state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund in your particular situation.

#### GENERAL INFORMATION
You may obtain copies of the Fund's most recent Prospectus, SAI, annual and semi-annual reports and account applications by visiting the Fund's website at www.sequoiafund.com.

Due to the relatively high cost to the Fund of maintaining low balance accounts, the Fund requests that you maintain an account balance of more than $2,000. The Fund reserves the right to redeem the shares in your account at their current NAV pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation. The redemption of shares could have tax consequences for you.

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosures of the Fund's portfolio securities is available in the Fund's SAI. The Fund publicly discloses its top 10 portfolio holdings on its website at www.sequoiafund.com/performance approximately 1-5 business days after each quarter end and the Fund may determine to post to its website a list of its complete portfolio holdings from time to time. This information will remain available on the Fund's website at least until it is updated for the next quarter.

#### FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund's financial performance for the past five years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of the Fund. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund, whose report, along with the Fund's financial statements, is included in the Fund's Form N-CSR for its most recent fiscal year, which was filed with the SEC and is available upon request.

(a) The difference of net investment income/(loss) for financial and tax reporting is attributable to financial and tax accounting differences on corporate spin-offs. As a result, the Fund was required to make a distribution from net investment income for tax purposes.

(b) Includes the impact of proceeds received and credited to the Fund resulting from class action settlements, which enhanced the Fund's performance for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022 by 0.17%, 0.02%, 0.62% and 0.08%, respectively.

<u>THE FUND</u>

Sequoia Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is a no-load, non-diversified, open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

<u>INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, POLICIES AND RISK CONSIDERATIONS</u>

Ordinarily, the Fund's portfolio is invested in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies. The Fund may also invest in restricted securities, certain special situations, debt securities, securities offered in initial public offerings, cash and cash equivalents, and total return swaps. The following supplements the information contained in the Prospectus concerning the investment objective, strategies and policies and risks of investing in the Fund.

(a) Foreign Securities

Investments may be made in both domestic and foreign companies. Investors should recognize that investments in foreign companies involve certain considerations that are not typically associated with investing in domestic companies. An investment in a foreign company may be affected by changes in currency rates and in exchange control regulations. There may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than about a domestic company. Foreign companies may not be subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic companies. Foreign stock markets have substantially less volume than the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") and may be closed for extended periods, and securities of some foreign companies may be more difficult to trade or dispose of and more volatile than securities of comparable domestic companies. Transaction costs and brokerage commission rates in foreign countries, which generally are fixed rather than subject to negotiation as in the United States, may be higher. Foreign security trading, settlement and custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement where assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are often less developed than those in domestic markets, may be complex and may result in increased risk or substantial delays. There may be less government regulation and/or supervision of foreign stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the United States. In addition, with respect to certain foreign countries there is a possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, war, tariffs, terrorism, nationalization, limitations on the repatriation of funds or other assets, or diplomatic developments that could affect investments in those countries. The Chinese government is involved in a longstanding dispute with Taiwan and has made threats of invasion. Military conflict between China and Taiwan may adversely affect securities of Chinese, Taiwan-based and other issuers both in and outside the region, adversely impact the economies of China and other Asian countries, disrupt supply chains, and severely affect global economies and markets.

Recent developments in relations between the U.S. and China have heightened concerns of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two countries. An increase in tariffs or trade restrictions, or even the threat of such developments, could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on the economy of Asian countries.

The imposition of, or an increase in, tariffs or trade restrictions between the U.S. and foreign countries, or even the threat of such developments, could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on the economies of the U.S. and foreign countries. Certain foreign governments levy withholding or other taxes against dividend and interest income from, or transactions in, foreign securities. Although in some countries a portion of these taxes is recoverable by the Fund, the nonrecovered portion of foreign withholding taxes will reduce the income received from such securities. Individual foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from that of the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position.

(b) Restricted or Not Readily Marketable Securities

The Fund may invest in securities acquired in a privately-negotiated transaction from the issuer or a holder of the issuer's securities and which may not be distributed publicly without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Such restricted securities may not thereafter ordinarily be sold by the Fund except in another private placement or under an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act. The Fund will not invest in any restricted security if such investment would cause the then aggregate value of all of such restricted securities, as valued on the books of the Fund, to exceed 10% of the value of the Fund's net assets (at the time of such investment and after giving effect thereto). Restricted securities are valued in accordance with the Fund's valuation policies and procedures.

The purchase price and subsequent valuations of restricted securities may reflect a discount from the price at which such securities trade when they are not restricted, since the restriction makes them more difficult to trade or dispose of. The amount of the discount from the prevailing market price is expected to vary depending upon the type of security, the character of the issuer, the party who will bear the expenses of registering the restricted securities and prevailing supply and demand conditions.

The Fund may not make loans or invest in any restricted securities or other illiquid assets which will cause the then aggregate value of all such restricted securities and other illiquid assets to exceed 10% of the value of the Fund's net assets (at the time of such investment and after giving effect thereto).

If, pursuant to the foregoing policy, the Fund were to assume substantial positions in particular securities with a limited trading market, the activities of the Fund could have an adverse effect on the liquidity and marketability of such securities, and the Fund may not be able to dispose of its holdings in these securities at reasonable price levels. There are other investment companies and other investment media engaged in operations similar to those of the Fund, and, to the extent that these organizations trade in the same securities, the Fund may be forced to dispose of its holdings at prices lower than otherwise would be obtained.

(c) Special Situations

The Fund intends to invest in special situations from time to time. A special situation arises when, in the opinion of the Fund's management, the securities of a particular company will, within a reasonably estimable period of time, be accorded market recognition at an appreciated value solely by reason of a development particularly or uniquely applicable to that company and regardless of general business conditions or movements of the market as a whole. Developments creating special situations might include, among others, the following: liquidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations or mergers; material litigation; technological breakthroughs; and new management or management policies. Although large and well-known companies may be involved, special situations may involve much greater risk than is inherent in ordinary investment securities. The Fund will not, however, purchase securities of any company with a record of less than three years' continuous operation (including that of predecessors) if such purchase would cause the Fund's investments in all such companies to exceed 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets.

(d) Debt Securities

The Fund may invest in corporate and U.S. Government debt securities. Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a variable, floating or fixed rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. The market value of such securities may fluctuate in response to interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. Corporate debt securities include, but are not limited to, debt obligations of public and private corporations.

U.S. Government debt securities include direct obligations of the U.S. Government and obligations issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities. Although certain securities issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, others are supported only by the credit of that agency or instrumentality. There is no guarantee that the U.S. Government will provide support to such agencies or instrumentalities and such securities may involve risk of loss of principal and interest. In addition, a security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government is guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. The current market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Certain U.S. Government agency securities or securities of U.S. Government-sponsored entities are backed by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, or are supported only by the credit of the issuer or instrumentality. While the U.S. Government provides financial support to those U.S. Government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities, no assurance can be given that it will always do so and those securities are neither guaranteed nor issued by the U.S. Government. In the case of securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, shareholders are primarily exposed to interest rate risk.

The Fund's investments in debt securities are subject to credit risk. An issuer's credit quality depends on its ability to pay interest on and repay its debt and other obligations. Defaulted securities or those expected to default are subject to additional risks in that the securities may become subject to a plan of reorganization that can diminish or eliminate their value. The credit risk of a security may also depend on the credit quality of any bank or financial institution that provides credit enhancement for the security.

The ratings of debt securities by Moody's Ratings, S&P Global Ratings, Fitch Ratings and other ratings agencies are a generally accepted barometer of credit risk. They are, however, subject to certain limitations from an investor's standpoint. The rating of an issuer is heavily weighted by past developments and does not necessarily reflect probable future conditions. There is frequently a lag between the time a rating is assigned and the time it is updated. In addition, there may be varying degrees of difference in credit risk of securities within each rating category.

The Fund's investments in debt securities are subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a security will decline because of a change in general interest rates. Investments subject to interest rate risk usually decrease in value when interest rates rise and increase in value when interest rates decline. Also, debt securities with longer maturities typically experience a more pronounced change in value when interest rates change.

(e) Initial Public Offerings

The Fund may invest in securities issued in initial public offerings ("IPOs"). IPO securities are subject to market risk and liquidity risk. Although companies can be any age or size at the time of their IPO, they are often smaller and have a limited operating history, which involves a greater potential for the value of their securities to be impaired following the IPO. The market value of recently issued IPO securities may fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading and speculation, a potentially small number of securities available for trading, limited information about the issuer, and other factors. These fluctuations could impact the net asset value per share ("NAV") and return earned on the Fund's shares. A purchase of IPO securities often involves higher transaction costs than those associated with the purchase of securities already traded on exchanges or markets.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Fund usually maintains a portion of its total assets in cash or securities generally considered to be cash equivalents, including, but not limited to, short-term U.S. Government securities. When the Fund's cash is held in a deposit account at the Fund's custodian, the Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the custodian. The Fund's cash deposits held at the custodian are eligible for insurance (in the aggregate) by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000.

(g) Total Return Swaps

The Fund expects to engage in total return swaps from time to time for portfolio and cash management purposes, including entering into a new portfolio position while the Fund is selling an existing position and other portfolio and cash management purposes. A total return swap is an agreement by which one party agrees to pay the other party the total return of a particular underlying security during a specified period in return for periodic payments, which may be based on a fixed or variable interest rate. The Fund will enter into total return swaps only to take a "long" position with respect to a single-name equity security, will limit the notional amount of any such total return swap to 3.5% of the Fund's net assets at the time the Fund invests in the swap, and will enter into no more than one total return swap at a time, in each case limited to a period of 60 days.

The Fund's use of total return swaps involves risks that are different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying security for a particular swap. Total return swaps could result in losses if the underlying security does not perform as anticipated. There is no guarantee that the Fund's investment in a total return swap will deliver returns in excess of the embedded transaction costs and, accordingly, the Fund's performance may be less than would be achieved by a direct investment in the underlying security.

Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the Fund's counterparty to a total return swap to comply with the terms of the swap arrangement. The Fund will be exposed to losses if the counterparty declines, or is unable, to pay margin owed to the Fund or the return attributable to the reference security. Therefore, the Fund considers the creditworthiness of a counterparty prior to entering into a total return swap with the counterparty.

Total return swaps may reflect a leveraged investment and incorporate transaction costs which are borne by the Fund. Depending on the degree of leverage inherent in a total return swap, the swap can be highly volatile and entail a greater risk of loss than other investments. The relatively low initial margin deposits required to establish a swap position results in a leveraged position. As a result, a relatively small movement in the price of the underlying security may result in a profit or loss which is high in proportion to the amount of funds deposited as margin. Such risks may arise from unanticipated movements in the value of the equity security underlying a particular total return swap.

(h) Other Investment Policies

The Fund will not seek to realize profits by anticipating short-term market movements and intends to purchase securities for growth of capital, in particular long-term capital appreciation. In any event, under ordinary circumstances, securities will typically be held for sufficient periods to qualify for long-term capital gain treatment for tax purposes. While the rate of portfolio turnover will not be a limiting factor when management deems changes appropriate, it is anticipated that given the Fund's investment objective, its annual portfolio turnover rate generally should not exceed 75%. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of the Fund's purchases and sales of portfolio securities during the period in question by the monthly average of the value of the Fund's portfolio securities during that period. Excluded from consideration in the calculation are U.S. Government securities and all other securities with maturities of one year or less when purchased by the Fund.

Under the 1940 Act, a diversified investment company may not, with respect to 75% of its total assets, invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer and may not own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. While the Fund is a non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act and therefore is not subject to any statutory diversification requirements, it will be required to meet certain diversification tests each year in order to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as it intends to do (see "Tax Considerations"). The Fund will not acquire more than 25% of any class of the securities of any issuer. The Fund reserves the right, without shareholder action, to diversify its investments to any extent it deems advisable or to become a diversified company, but once the Fund becomes a diversified company, it could not thereafter change its status to that of a non-diversified company without the approval of its shareholders.

The Fund has adopted certain investment restrictions as a matter of fundamental investment policy, which may not be changed without a shareholder vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities as defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act. The Fund may not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Underwrite the securities of other issuers, except the Fund may, as indicated above (see "Restricted or Not Readily Marketable Securities"), acquire restricted securities under circumstances where, if such securities are sold, the Fund might be deemed to be an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Purchase or sell real estate or interests in real estate, but the Fund may purchase marketable securities of companies holding real estate or interests in real estate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Make loans to other persons except by the purchase of a portion of an issue of publicly distributed bonds, debentures or other debt securities, except that the Fund may purchase privately sold bonds, debentures or other debt securities immediately convertible into equity securities subject to the restrictions applicable to the purchase of not readily marketable securities. (See "Restricted or Not Readily Marketable Securities").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Borrow money except for temporary or emergency purposes and then only from banks and in an aggregate amount not exceeding 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets at the time any borrowing is made, provided that the term "borrow" shall not include the short-term credits referred to in paragraph 6 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Purchase securities on margin, but it may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. Make short sales of securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. Purchase or sell puts and calls on securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. Participate, on a joint or joint and several basis, in any securities trading account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. Purchase the securities of any other investment company except (1) in the open market where, to the best information of the Fund, no commission, profit or sales charge to a sponsor or dealer (other than the customary broker's commission) results from such purchase, or (2) if such purchase is part of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising management or control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. Invest more than 25% of the value of its net assets (at the time of purchase and after giving effect thereto) in the securities of any one issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. Issue senior securities, except as permitted by the 1940 Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. Concentrate investments in an industry, as concentration may be defined under the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder (as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time) or by guidance regarding, interpretations of, or exemptive orders under, the 1940 Act or the rules or regulations thereunder published by appropriate regulatory authorities.

In connection with the qualification or registration of the Fund's shares for sale under the securities laws of certain States, the Fund has agreed, in addition to the investment restrictions set forth above, that it will not (i) purchase material amounts of restricted securities, (ii) invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in securities of unseasoned issuers (including their predecessors) which have been in operation for less than three years, and equity securities of issuers which are not readily marketable, (iii) invest any part of its assets in interests in oil, gas or other mineral or exploration or development programs (excluding readily marketable securities), (iv) purchase or retain any securities of another issuer of which those persons affiliated with the Fund or Ruane Cunniff L.P., the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), owning, individually, more than 1/2 of 1% of said issuer's outstanding stock (or securities convertible into stock) own, in the aggregate, more than 5% of said issuer's outstanding stock (or securities convertible into stock) and (v) invest in warrants (other than warrants acquired by the Fund as a part of a unit or attached to securities at the time of purchase), if as a result such warrants valued at the lower of cost or market, would exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's assets at the time of purchase provided that not more than 2% of the Fund's net assets at the time of purchase may be invested in warrants not listed on the Exchange or the NYSE American.

(i) Cybersecurity

As the use of the Internet and other technologies has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Fund and its service providers, including the Adviser, have become more susceptible to operational and financial risks associated with cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity incidents can result from deliberate attacks such as gaining unauthorized access to digital systems (*e.g.*, through "hacking" or malicious software coding) for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption, or from unintentional events, such as the inadvertent release of confidential information. Cybersecurity failures or breaches of the Fund or its service providers or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. While measures have been developed which are designed to reduce the risks associated with cybersecurity incidents, there can be no assurance that those measures will be effective, particularly since the Fund does not control the cybersecurity defenses or plans of its service providers, financial intermediaries or companies with which those entities do business or companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity incidents, both intentional and unintentional, may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Fund or shareholder assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or cause the Fund, the Adviser, and/or the Fund's service providers (including, but not limited to, the accounting agent, custodian, administrator, transfer agent and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality, or prevent Fund shareholders from purchasing, redeeming, or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Fund or the Adviser. Cybersecurity incidents may result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders, and substantial costs may be incurred in seeking to prevent or minimize future cyber security incidents.

(j) ReFlow and Other Liquidity Programs

The Fund participates in the ReFlow Fund, LLC ("ReFlow") liquidity program and other similar programs. ReFlow operates an auction program (the "Program") through which it makes a source of capital available to participating funds (like the Fund) to allow participating funds to satisfy some or all of their daily net redemption requests. The Program is designed to provide an alternative liquidity source to funds on days where redemptions of fund shares exceed purchases. ReFlow makes the Program available to eligible funds on an investment blind basis, meaning that ReFlow stands ready to purchase shares of participating funds that submit successful bids without regard to their investment objectives or performance.

The Fund has determined to make its Fund shares available for purchase by ReFlow through the Program. With respect to shares purchased through the Program, ReFlow will not be subject to any investment minimum applicable to such shares. There is no assurance that, on any given day, either the Fund will be successful during the auction, or that ReFlow will have sufficient funds available to meet the Fund's needs.

Following purchases of Fund shares, ReFlow then generally redeems those shares when the Fund experiences net sales, at the end of a maximum holding period determined by ReFlow (currently eight days) or at other times at ReFlow's discretion. While ReFlow holds Fund shares, it will have the same rights and privileges with respect to those shares as any other shareholder. For use of the ReFlow service, a participating fund typically pays a fee to ReFlow each time it purchases fund shares, calculated by applying to the purchase amount a fee rate determined through an automated daily auction among other participating mutual funds seeking liquidity that day. The current minimum fee rate is 0.14% of the value of the fund shares purchased by ReFlow although the fund may submit a higher bid. The actual fee rate that may be charged to a fund may therefore be higher than minimum rate. The Adviser (as defined herein) has agreed to pay this fee on behalf of the Fund. The costs to the Fund for participating in the Program are expected to be influenced by and comparable to the costs of other sources of liquidity, such as the costs of selling portfolio securities to meet redemptions.

In accordance with federal securities laws, ReFlow is prohibited from acquiring more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. ReFlow will periodically redeem its entire share position in the Fund and may request that any redemption of shares purchased through the Program be met in-kind in accordance with the Fund's policies. If the Fund redeems Reflow shares in-kind, it is anticipated that the use of the Program will reduce the Fund's realization of capital gains which otherwise would be taxable to the Fund's shareholders, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

The Fund expects to satisfy redemption requests in-kind in connection with its participation in other liquidity programs and pay a fee to certain third parties arising from distributing non-U.S. portfolio securities to such parties.

When purchasing Fund shares, ReFlow is not subject to the Fund's investment minimum. In addition, investments in the Fund by ReFlow and other approved third parties are not subject to the Fund's policy regarding excessive trading described under "Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Shares" in the Prospectus.

<u>Leadership Structure and the Board</u>

The Board is responsible for overseeing the business affairs of the Fund and exercising all of its powers except those reserved for shareholders. The Board is currently composed of seven Directors, five of whom are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund (the "Independent Directors" or "Disinterested Directors"). The Disinterested Directors meet regularly in executive sessions among themselves and with their independent counsel to consider a variety of matters affecting the Fund. These sessions generally occur prior to scheduled Board meetings and at such other times as the Disinterested Directors may deem necessary. As discussed in further detail below, the Board has established two standing committees to assist the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities. The Fund has engaged the Adviser to manage the Fund, and the Board is responsible for overseeing the Adviser and other service providers to the Fund in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act and other applicable laws.

The Fund's Amended and Restated By-Laws and the Nominating Committee Charter do not set forth any specific qualifications to serve as a Director. In evaluating a candidate for nomination or election as a Director, the Nominating Committee will take into account the contribution that the candidate would be expected to make to the diverse mix of experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that the Nominating Committee believes contributes to good governance for the Fund. The Chairperson of the Board is a Disinterested Director. The Chairperson's role is to preside at all meetings of the Board and to act as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys, and other Directors generally between meetings. The Chairperson may also perform other such functions as may be provided by the Board from time to time.

Among the attributes or skills common to all Directors are their ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the other Directors, the Adviser, other service providers, counsel and the independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective and independent business judgment in the performance of their duties as Directors. Each Director's ability to perform his or her duties effectively has been attained through the Director's business, consulting, public service and/or academic positions and through experience from service as a board member of the Fund, public companies or other organizations as set forth above. Each Director's ability to perform his or her duties effectively also has been enhanced by his or her educational background, professional training, and/or other life experiences.

It has been determined that the Board's leadership structure is appropriate in light of the characteristics and circumstances of the Fund, including factors such as the Fund's investment strategy and style, the net assets of the Fund, the committee structure of the Fund, and the management, distribution and other service arrangements of the Fund. The Board believes that the current leadership structure allows the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over matters under its purview, and it allocates areas of responsibility among service providers, committees of Directors and the full Board in a manner that enhances effective oversight. The Board believes that having a majority of Disinterested Directors is appropriate and in the best interest of the Fund, and that the Board leadership by Ms. Crandall provides the Board with valuable insights that assist the Board as a whole with the decision-making process. The leadership structure of the Board may be changed at any time and in the discretion of the Board including in response to changes in circumstances or the characteristics of the Fund.

<u>Risk Oversight</u>

The Fund is subject to a number of risks, including investment, compliance, valuation and operational risks, including cyber risks, among others. Day-to-day risk management functions are subsumed within the responsibilities of Fund management, the Adviser and other service providers (depending on the nature of the risk), who carry out the Fund's investment management and business affairs.

Risk oversight forms part of the Board's general oversight of the Fund and is addressed as part of various Board and Committee activities. The Board recognizes that it is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the Fund or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. As part of its regular oversight of the Fund, the Board, directly or through a Committee, interacts with and reviews reports from, among others, the Adviser, the Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund, and the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Fund and relevant risk functions. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund who oversees the implementation and testing of the Fund's compliance program and reports to the Board regarding compliance matters for the Fund and its principal service providers. In addition, as part of the Board's periodic review of the Fund's advisory and other service provider agreements, the Board may consider risk management aspects of their operations and the functions for which they are responsible. With respect to valuation, the Board periodically reviews valuation policies applicable to valuing the Fund's portfolio securities. The Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts its risk oversight role.

<u>Committee Structure</u>

The Board has two standing committees – an Audit Committee and a Nominating Committee. The members of the Audit and Nominating Committees are identified above. The function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in its oversight of the Fund's financial reporting process. The Audit Committee met three times during the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year. The function of the Nominating Committee is to nominate persons to fill any vacancies on the Board. The Nominating Committee does not consider for nomination candidates proposed by shareholders for election as Directors. The Nominating Committee did not meet during the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year.

The Fund and the Adviser have each adopted a Code of Ethics that permits their personnel to invest in securities, including securities that may be held or purchased by the Fund. The Code of Ethics contains trading restrictions, pre-clearance procedures and reporting procedures designed to detect and prevent potential conflicts of interest when personnel from the Adviser engage in personal securities transactions.

The Fund has adopted the Adviser's Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures ("Procedures"), which are designed to ensure that the Adviser votes proxies, with respect to securities held by the Fund, in the best interests of the Fund. The Procedures require the Adviser to identify and address conflicts of interest between the Adviser (or any affiliated person of the Adviser or the Fund) and the shareholders of the Fund. If a material conflict of interest exists, the Adviser will determine whether voting in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Procedures is in the best interests of the Fund or take some other appropriate action.

The Adviser, on behalf of the Fund, generally votes in favor of routine corporate housekeeping proposals including the election of directors (where no corporate governance issues are implicated). The Adviser, on behalf of the Fund, generally votes against poison pills and proposals for compensation plans deemed to be excessive. For all other proposals, the Adviser will determine whether a proposal is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund and may take into account the following factors, among others: (i) whether the proposal was recommended by management and the Adviser's opinion of management; (ii) whether the proposal acts to entrench existing management; and (iii) whether the proposal fairly compensates management for past and future performance.

You may obtain a description of the Procedures, and information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, without charge, by visiting the Fund's website at www.sequoiafund.com/proxy-voting. This information may also be obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") website at www.sec.gov.

<u>INVESTMENT ADVISER AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT</u>

Ruane Cunniff L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent, serves as the Fund's investment adviser pursuant to an investment advisory contract dated April 17, 2017 (the "Advisory Contract") that was entered into by the Fund and the Parent. Effective March 31, 2018, the Parent assigned the Advisory Contract to the Adviser in connection with an internal modernization of the Parent's corporate structure, in which the Parent transferred its advisory operations to the Adviser.

The Advisory Contract continues in effect for successive twelve-month periods computed from each January 1, provided that such continuance is specifically approved annually by vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities or by the Board, and by a majority of the Directors who are not parties to the Advisory Contract or interested persons of any such party, at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Continuance of the Advisory Contract was approved for an additional annual term at a meeting of the Board on December 5, 2025.

Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Contract, the Adviser furnishes advice and recommendations with respect to the Fund's portfolio of securities and investments and provides persons satisfactory to the Fund's Board to act as officers and employees of the Fund. Such officers and employees, as well as certain directors of the Fund, may be directors, officers or employees of the Adviser or its affiliates.

In addition, the Adviser, or its affiliates, are obligated under the Advisory Contract to pay or reimburse the Fund for the following expenses incurred by the Fund: (i) the compensation of any of the Fund's directors, officers and employees who are interested persons of the Adviser or its affiliates (other than by reason of being directors, officers or employees of the Fund), (ii) fees and expenses of registering the Fund's shares under the appropriate Federal securities laws and of qualifying its shares under applicable State Blue Sky laws, including expenses attendant upon renewing and increasing such registrations and qualifications, and (iii) expenses of printing and distributing the Fund's Prospectus and sales and advertising materials. The Fund is responsible and has assumed the obligation for payment of all of its other expenses including: (a) brokerage and commission expenses, (b) U.S. Federal, state or local taxes, including issue and transfer taxes, incurred by or levied on the Fund, (c) interest charges on borrowings, (d) compensation of any of the Fund's directors, officers or employees who are not interested persons of the Adviser or its affiliates (other than by reason of being directors, officers or employees of the Fund), (e) charges and expenses of the Fund's custodian, transfer agent and registrar, (f) costs of proxy solicitations, (g) legal and auditing expenses, and (h) payment of all investment advisory fees (including the fee payable to the Adviser under the Advisory Contract).

The Advisory Contract is terminable on 60 days' written notice by vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding shares or by vote of majority of the Fund's entire Board, or by the Adviser on 60 days' written notice and automatically terminates in the event of its assignment. The Advisory Contract provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Adviser, or of reckless disregard of its obligations thereunder, the Adviser is not liable for any action or failure to act in accordance with its duties thereunder.

For the services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Contract, the Adviser receives from the Fund a management fee equal to 1.00% per annum of the Fund's average daily net asset values. The management fee is accrued daily and paid monthly.

Under the terms of the Advisory Contract, the Adviser is contractually obligated to reimburse the Fund for the amount, if any, by which the operating expenses of the Fund (including the management fee) in any year exceed the sum of 1½% of the average daily net asset value of the Fund for such year up to a maximum of $30 million of net assets, plus 1.00% of the average daily net asset value in excess of $30 million. The reimbursement will be in effect only so long as the Advisory Contract is in effect. Operating expenses for the purposes of the Advisory Contract do not include the expenses listed in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund incurred operating expenses of $40,756,383 of which the Adviser reimbursed the Fund $3,947,514. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund incurred operating expenses of $38,304,785 of which the Adviser reimbursed the Fund $3,557,789. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund incurred operating expenses of $34,419,257 of which the Adviser reimbursed the Fund $3,312,405.

The Adviser acts as an investment adviser to other persons, firms or corporations and has numerous advisory clients besides the Fund, none of which, however, is a registered investment company.

The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent and is managed by its general partner, RCG-GP LLC. Employees of the Adviser collectively own a majority of the voting securities of each of the Parent and RCG-GP LLC. Mr. Harris serves as President and CEO of the Parent, Managing Director of the Adviser and Managing Partner of RCG-GP LLC, and serves on the Management Committee of RCG-GP LLC along with the other members of the Investment Committee of the Adviser. Ms. Talia serves as Chief Operating Officer of the Parent, RCG-GP LLC, and the Adviser.

<u>Portfolio Managers and Investment Committee</u>

The Adviser manages the investment portfolio and the general business affairs of the Fund pursuant to the Advisory Contract. John B. Harris, Arman Gokgol-Kline and Trevor Magyar are the co-portfolio managers of the Fund and, subject to the investment parameters established from time to time by the Investment Committee of the Adviser (the "Committee"), are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. The Committee, which reflects the team approach used by the Adviser, meets regularly to determine the current investment parameters of the Fund. The Committee is comprised of the co-portfolio managers, all of whom are voting members of the Committee, and Gregory Alexander, who is a non-voting member of the Committee.

Mr. Harris, as Chair of the Committee, may take actions for the Fund that are not within the investment parameters established by the Committee in the event that he determines that events or circumstances require him to take such actions and it is not practicable to convene a meeting of the Committee. Mr. Harris has been authorized by the Committee to limit the value of the Fund's investment in any security from exceeding 20% of the Fund's net assets.

The Fund does not directly compensate the co-portfolio managers. Each co-portfolio manager's compensation is paid solely by the Adviser in the form of a fixed salary and bonus. In addition, each co-portfolio manager who has a share ownership in the Parent also receives a percentage of the net profits of the Parent based on such share ownership. The net profits of the Parent include profits of the Adviser (if any). The co-portfolio managers are not compensated based directly on the performance of the Fund. The Fund, with net assets of $3,788,837,987 at December 31, 2025, is the sole registered investment company managed by the Committee and its members. The advisory fee paid by the Fund is not based on the performance of the Fund. The co-portfolio managers who manage privately offered pooled investment vehicles are entitled to receive incentive compensation based on the profits, if any, of such vehicles.

The following tables provide information regarding other pooled investment vehicles and other accounts over which the co-portfolio managers also have day-to-day management responsibilities. The tables provide the numbers of such accounts, the total assets in such accounts and the number of accounts and total assets whose fees are based on performance. The information is provided as of December 31, 2025.

Potential conflicts of interest may arise for any co-portfolio manager between the management of the investments of the Fund and the management of the investments of the other pooled vehicles and other accounts. Although certain of such vehicles and accounts are managed in a similar manner to the Fund, the accounts and vehicles are not subject to the same regulatory requirements and restrictions as the Fund. In addition, concentrations of securities and cash may differ between any account or vehicle and the Fund due to many factors and circumstances.

The Adviser has adopted policies and procedures designed to ensure that investment allocations and trading practices are fair to its clients and that no client is disadvantaged over any other client over time. The Adviser has also adopted a Code of Ethics that is designed to detect and prevent conflicts of interest when investment personnel of the Adviser engage in personal securities transactions.

The dollar ranges of the Fund's equity securities owned directly or beneficially by the co-portfolio managers as of December 31, 2025 are set forth below:

<u>DOLLAR RANGE OF EQUITY SECURITIES OF THE FUND</u>

|:---|:---|

<u>DISTRIBUTOR AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT</u>

Foreside Financial Services, LLC (the "Distributor"), located at 190 Middle Street, Suite 301, Portland, ME 04101, is the Fund's distributor. Pursuant to the agreement between the Fund and the Distributor (the "Distribution Agreement"), the Distributor is the Fund's distributor and principal underwriter and as such serves as the Fund's exclusive agent for the sale and distribution of shares of the Fund's common stock.

The Distribution Agreement was approved through December 31, 2026 by a vote of the Directors, including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested persons", as defined in the 1940 Act, at their meeting held on December 5, 2025. The Distribution Agreement continues in effect so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (1) by the Directors of the Fund and by vote of a majority of the Directors of the Fund who are not parties to the Distribution Agreement or affiliated persons, as defined in the 1940 Act, of any such party (other than as directors of the Fund), or (2) by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act).

<u>ADMINISTRATOR</u>

The Bank of New York Mellon ("BNY Mellon" or the "Administrator") provides certain administration and accounting services to the Fund pursuant to a Fund Administration and Accounting Services Agreement between the Fund and BNY Mellon.

The Administrator provides various administrative and accounting services necessary for the operations of the Fund, including certain valuation support and accounting services, financial reporting services, tax services and fund administration services.

For providing such services, the Administrator receives a base fee and an asset-based fee, computed daily and paid monthly. The Fund also reimburses the Administrator for certain out-of-pocket expenses. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Fund paid the Administrator $150,068, $146,753, and $142,734, respectively, in administration and accounting services fees.

<u>ALLOCATION OF PORTFOLIO BROKERAGE</u>

The Fund has authorized the Adviser to determine the broker-dealer to be used to effect securities transactions for the Fund in a manner consistent with the Fund's policy to seek the most favorable markets, prices and executions in its securities transactions. The Adviser considers a number of factors when selecting a broker-dealer to execute transactions and determining the reasonableness of the broker-dealer's compensation. Such factors include net price, reputation, financial strength and stability and efficiency of execution.

The Adviser also considers a broker-dealer's provision of brokerage and research services. The Adviser directs the Fund's portfolio transactions to persons or firms that supply Section 28(e) eligible brokerage or research services to the Adviser, but only when consistent with the Fund's policy to seek the most favorable markets, prices and executions in its securities transactions. The Adviser may direct orders to a broker-dealer in recognition of the brokerage or research services it furnishes to the Adviser and pay commissions to the broker-dealer in excess of the amounts other broker-dealers would have charged for executing the orders. The services that the Adviser obtains in these circumstances may include, but are not limited to, research reports (including market research); certain financial newsletters and trade journals; software providing analysis of securities portfolios; corporate governance research and rating services; access to expert networks; attendance at seminars and conferences; discussions with research analysts; meetings with corporate executives; consultants' advice on portfolio strategy; and data services (including services providing market data, company financial data and economic data). Research services furnished by brokers through which the Fund effects securities transactions are used by the Adviser in carrying out its investment management responsibilities with respect to all of its client accounts but not all such services may be used by the Adviser in connection with the Fund. The Adviser periodically determines in good faith whether the commissions paid for the services are reasonable in relation to the value of the services provided by broker-dealers, viewed either in terms of a particular transaction or the Adviser's overall duty to its clients.

The Fund may invest in some instances in securities which are not listed on a national securities exchange but are traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market or the third market. It may also execute transactions in listed securities through the third market. Where transactions are executed in the OTC market or the third market, the Adviser seeks to deal with primary market makers and to execute transactions on the Fund's behalf, except in those circumstances where, in the opinion of management, better prices and executions may be available elsewhere. The Fund does not allocate brokerage business in return for sales of the Fund's shares.

The following table sets forth figures pertaining to the Fund's brokerage during the last three years:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Year Ended | Total Brokerage<br> Commissions Paid |
| December 31, 2023 | $433851 |
| December 31, 2024 | $248672 |

<u>DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS</u>

To prevent the misuse of non-public information about the Fund's portfolio, it is the policy of the Fund and its affiliated persons not to disclose to third parties non-public information of a material nature about the Fund's specific portfolio holdings. Disclosure of non-public information about the Fund's specific portfolio holdings may be made when the Fund has a legitimate business purpose for making the disclosure, such as making disclosures to the Fund's brokers, other service providers or for the purpose of effecting in-kind redemption of securities to facilitate orderly redemption of portfolio assets and minimal impact on remaining Fund shareholders. The Fund requires parties to whom non-public information about the Fund's portfolio holdings has been disclosed to keep such information confidential. The Fund also prohibits such parties from trading on the basis of such information. The Fund receives no compensation for such disclosures. The Fund has procedures for preventing the unauthorized disclosure of material non-public information about the Fund's portfolio holdings. The Fund and Adviser have each adopted a Code of Ethics that prohibits Fund or advisory personnel from using non-public information for their personal benefit.

The Fund publicly discloses its top 10 portfolio holdings on its website at www.sequoiafund.com/performance approximately 1-5 business days after quarter end and the Fund may determine to post to its website a list of its complete portfolio holdings from time to time. The Fund publicly discloses its complete portfolio holdings schedules for the first and third quarters in filings with the SEC on Form N-PORT within 60 days after quarter end, and publicly discloses its complete portfolio holdings schedules for the second and fourth quarters in filings with the SEC on Form N-CSR within 70 days after quarter end. The Fund's portfolio holdings schedules as filed with the SEC are available to the public on the Fund's website or by calling the Fund's toll-free telephone number. Any exception to the Fund's policy must be approved by an officer of the Fund and reported to the Chief Compliance Officer, who reports to the Board. Changes in the disclosure policy of the Fund will be approved by the Board.

<u>NET ASSET VALUE</u>

The net asset value of each share ("NAV") of the Fund's common stock on which the subscription and redemption prices are based is determined as of the close of regular trading of the Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) each day the Exchange is open for business (each a "Fund Business Day"). The Exchange is closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. To calculate the NAV, the Fund's assets are valued and totaled, liabilities are subtracted, and the balance, called net assets, is divided by the number of shares outstanding.

For purposes of this computation, readily marketable portfolio securities listed on a domestic exchange (excluding the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ")) are valued at the last quoted sales price on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on the exchange, the security is valued at the mean of the last bid and asked prices on such day. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

Securities traded on a foreign exchange are valued at the official closing price (or, in the absence of an official closing price, the last quoted sales price, or, in the absence of an official closing price and last quoted sales price, the mean of the last bid and asked prices) on the last business day on the principal exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Values for securities listed on a foreign exchange are converted into their U.S. Dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the Exchange on that day.

Treasury Bills with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost value is approximately the same as the fair value as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Under the amortized cost method of valuation, an instrument is valued at cost and the interest payable at maturity upon the instrument is accrued as income, on a daily basis, over the remaining life of the instrument. A Treasury Bill with a remaining maturity in excess of 60 days is valued on the basis of market quotations and estimates until the 60th day prior to maturity, at which point it is valued at amortized cost. In that event, the cost of the security is deemed to be the security's stated market value on the 61st day prior to maturity.

All other assets of the Fund, including restricted and not readily marketable securities, are valued in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available, portfolio securities for which (in the judgment of the Adviser) the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the securities, and portfolio securities determined to be illiquid are valued at fair value as determined by the Adviser as of the valuation time in accordance with valuation procedures approved by the Board. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as valuation designee to perform fair value determinations relating to the Fund's portfolio investments, subject to the Board's oversight.

For purposes of determining the Fund's NAV each day, the value of all assets and liabilities initially expressed in a foreign currency is converted into U.S. Dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the Exchange on that day.

<u>PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES</u>

<u>Purchases: General</u>

The Fund reserves the right to withdraw the offering of Fund shares at any time, without notice. The Fund also reserves the right to reject any order, whether direct or through an intermediary, to purchase shares (including additional purchases by existing shareholders).

<u>Purchases: Limitations or Restrictions</u>

The Fund may impose limitations or restrictions on purchases of Fund shares periodically to protect the implementation of the Fund's investment strategy or objective or otherwise control the Fund's asset levels. The Fund may, for example, take one or more of the following actions to limit or restrict purchases of Fund shares:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Permit only existing shareholders to add to their existing accounts through the purchase of additional Fund shares and through the
reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gain distributions on any shares owned;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Limit the ability to open new accounts through financial intermediaries and other financial services organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Limit shareholders' ability to add to their accounts through the Automatic Investment Plan ("AIP") or increase the AIP amount;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Limit the ability of sponsors of qualified contribution retirement plans (for example, 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans and money
purchase plans), 403(b) plans or 457 plans and other intermediaries to permit purchases by new plans or existing participants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Limit the ability of financial intermediaries and financial advisers to purchase shares for any new or existing client; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Prohibit new purchases by existing shareholders and any new investor and transfers of Fund shares by an existing shareholder to any
new investor.

When Fund assets reach a level at which additional inflows can be invested without impairing the implementation of the Fund's investment strategy or objective, the Fund may remove an existing limitation or restriction on purchases of Fund shares.

When the Fund imposes a limitation or restriction on purchases of Fund shares or modifies it, the Fund will post information concerning the limitation or restriction or modification on its website at www.sequoiafund.com.

The Fund retains the right to make exceptions to any limitation or restriction on purchases of Fund shares.

<u>Redemptions</u>

The right of redemption may not be suspended or (other than by reason of a shareholder's delay in furnishing the required documentation following certain oral redemption requests) the date of payment upon redemption postponed for more than seven days after a shareholder's redemption request in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Prospectus, except for any period during which the Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings) or during which the SEC determines that trading thereon is restricted, or for any period during which an emergency (as determined by the SEC) exists as a result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly to determine its NAV, or for such other period as the SEC may by order permit for the protection of shareholders of the Fund.

<u>Additional Purchase and Redemption Information</u>

You may visit the Fund's website at www.sequoiafund.com. In addition to checking your Fund account balance, you may purchase or redeem shares of the Fund through the website. There are various operational, information security and other cybersecurity risks associated with the website, which could potentially result in losses to the Fund (see "Cybersecurity" above). The Fund has entered into an agreement with a third-party service provider pursuant to which it supports the Fund's online capabilities. That agreement limits the service provider's liability to the Fund. Therefore, contractual remedies may prove inadequate to protect the Fund against all losses incurred in connection with the website.

<u>Payments to Intermediaries</u>

Certain financial intermediaries holding Fund shares for the benefit of their customers provide recordkeeping, shareholder servicing and other administrative services to those customers investing in the Fund. The Adviser has agreed to pay certain of these financial intermediaries an asset-based fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets attributable to the intermediary for providing such recordkeeping, shareholder servicing and administrative services to their customers.

<u>TAX CONSIDERATIONS</u>

The Fund is a "non-diversified" investment company, which means the Fund is not limited (subject to the investment restrictions set forth above) in the proportion of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. However, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund has qualified, and for each fiscal year thereafter the Fund intends to conduct its operations so as to qualify, to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" for purposes of the Code (a "RIC"), which will relieve the Fund of any liability for U.S. Federal income tax on that part of its net ordinary taxable income and net realized long-term capital gain which it distributes to shareholders. Such qualification does not involve supervision of management or investment practices or policies by any government agency. To so qualify, among other requirements, the Fund will limit its investments so that, at the close of each quarter of the taxable year, (i) not more than 25 percent of the market value of the Fund's total assets will be invested in the securities of a single issuer (the "25% test"), and (ii) with respect to 50 percent of the market value of its total assets, not more than 5 percent of the market value of its total assets will be invested in the securities of a single issuer and the Fund will not own more than 10 percent of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer (the "50% test"). The Fund's investments in U.S. Government securities are not subject to these limitations. The Fund will not lose its status as a RIC if the Fund fails to meet the 25% test or the 50% test at the close of a particular quarter due to fluctuations in the market values of its securities. Investors should consult their own counsel for a complete understanding of the requirements the Fund must meet to qualify as a RIC. The following discussion relates solely to the U.S. Federal income tax treatment of dividends and distributions by the Fund and assumes the Fund qualifies as a RIC. Investors should consult their own counsel for further details and for the application of state and local tax laws to their particular situation.

Distributions of net ordinary taxable income (including any realized short-term capital gain) by the Fund to its shareholders are taxable to the recipient shareholders as ordinary income and, to the extent determined each year, are eligible, in the case of corporate shareholders, for the 70 percent dividends-received deduction, subject to reduction of the amount eligible for deduction if the aggregate qualifying dividends received by the Fund from domestic corporations in any year are less than 100% of its gross income (excluding long-term capital gains from securities transactions). Under provisions of the current tax law, a corporation's dividends-received deduction will be disallowed, however, unless the corporation holds shares in the Fund at least 46 days during the 90-day period beginning 45 days before the date on which the corporation becomes entitled to receive the dividend. Furthermore, the dividends-received deduction will be disallowed to the extent a corporation's investment in shares of the Fund is financed with indebtedness. In view of the Fund's investment policies, dividends from domestic corporations may be a large part of the Fund's ordinary taxable income and, accordingly, a large part of such distributions by the Fund may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction; however, this is largely dependent on the Fund's investment policy for a particular year and therefore cannot be predicted with certainty.

A portion of the Fund's distributions may be treated as "qualified dividend income," taxable to individuals, trusts, and estates at the same preferential tax rates as long-term capital gains. A distribution is treated as qualified dividend income to the extent that the Fund receives dividend income from taxable domestic corporations and certain qualified foreign corporations, provided that both the Fund and the individual satisfy certain holding period and other requirements. Dividends received from REITs generally do not constitute qualified dividend income. However, certain REIT dividends attributable to trade or business income of the REIT may qualify for a reduced rate of taxation as qualified business income in the hands of individuals, trusts and estates, provided certain holding period and other requirements are satisfied by the shareholder. To the extent the Fund's distributions are attributable to other sources, such as interest or capital gains, the distributions are not treated as qualified dividend income.

For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, dividends declared and payable to shareholders of record as of a date in October, November or December of a given year but actually paid during the immediately following January will be treated as if paid by the Fund on December 31 of that calendar year and will be taxable to such shareholders for the year declared and not for the year in which the shareholders actually receive the dividend.

Cost Basis Reporting*.* Mutual funds are required to report to the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") the "cost basis" of shares acquired by a shareholder on or after January 1, 2012 ("covered shares") and subsequently redeemed. These requirements do not apply to investments through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement plan. The "cost basis" of a share is generally its purchase price adjusted for dividends, return of capital, and other corporate actions. Cost basis is used to determine whether a sale of the shares results in a gain or loss. The amount of gain or loss recognized by a shareholder on the sale or redemption of shares is generally the difference between the cost basis of such shares and their sale price. If you redeem covered shares during any year, then the Fund will report the cost basis of such covered shares to the IRS and you on Form 1099-B along with the gross proceeds received on the redemption, the gain or loss realized on such redemption and the holding period of the redeemed shares.

A mutual fund company is required to know the cost accounting method you would like used when the company calculates the gain or loss associated with your redemption requests, either at the time of the redemption or prior to the redemption requests. If the mutual fund company does not have that information on file, it is required to use a default method to determine the cost basis.

The Fund has chosen the High Cost method as its default cost accounting method. Under the High Cost method, the shares with the highest cost are redeemed first. This default method will be utilized after all shares held prior to January 1, 2012 ("non-covered shares") are redeemed.

The Fund also offers the following methods of calculating cost basis for purposes of computing the gain or loss associated with a redemption request:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average Cost – Values the cost of shares in an account
by averaging the effect of all purchases made after January 1, 2012 in the account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• First-In
First-Out – Shares acquired first in the account are the first shares depleted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Last-In
First-Out – Shares acquired last in the account are the first shares depleted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Low
Cost – Shares acquired with the lowest cost per share are the first shares depleted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Loss/Gain
Utilization – Depletes shares with losses before gains, consistent with the objective of minimizing taxes. For shares that yield
a loss, shares owned one year or less (short-term shares) will be redeemed before shares owned more than one year (long-term shares).
For gains, long-term shares will be redeemed before short-term shares. With favorable long-term gains rates, long-term gains are given
priority over short-term gains to reduce tax liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Specific
Lot Identification – The shareholder selects which lots to deplete at the time the redemption is requested. When choosing this
method, the shareholder must select one of the following secondary methods as an alternate in the event a specific lot for depletion
is not provided: First-In First-Out; Last-In First-Out; High Cost; Low Cost or Loss/Gain Utilization.

If you do not wish to utilize the High Cost calculation chosen by the Fund, you may elect to utilize a different accounting method for your future redemption activity. If you elect a method other than High Cost or Specific Lot Identification, the method you choose will not be utilized until all shares held prior to January 1, 2012 are redeemed. If you elect Specific Lot Identification as your cost method, you may select from both covered and non-covered shares for your redemption request. The Fund does not maintain historic lot information for non-covered shares. Be sure to consult your tax advisor regarding which method may be right for you.

<u>COMMON STOCK</u>

The authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, each having $.10 par value.

The Fund is a Maryland corporation. The Articles of Incorporation of the Fund give the Fund the right to purchase for cash the shares of common stock evidenced by any stock certificate presented for transfer at a purchase price equal to the aggregate NAV determined as of the next close of business of the Exchange after such certificate is presented for transfer, computed as in the case of a redemption of shares.

The Fund's shares have non-cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect 100% of the directors if they choose to do so, and in such event the holders of the remaining less than 50% of the shares voting for such election of directors will not be able to elect any person or persons to the Board.

To the knowledge of the Fund, the following persons owned of record or beneficially 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund as of the close of business on March 31, 2026:

Sequoia Fund, Inc.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Sequoia Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration of an indefinite number of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Shares"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"). The Company is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

As counsel to the Company, we have participated in the preparation of the Post-Effective Amendment No. 85 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form N-1A relating to the Shares (File Nos. 2-35566 and 811-01976) (as so amended, the "Registration Statement"). We have examined the Charter and By-Laws of the Company and have examined and relied upon such corporate records of the Company and such other documents as we have deemed to be necessary to render the opinion expressed herein.

Based on such examination, we are of the opinion that the Shares to be offered for sale pursuant to the Registration Statement are, to the extent of the number of Shares authorized to be issued by the Company in its Charter, duly authorized and, when sold, issued and paid for as contemplated by the Registration Statement, will have been validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable under the laws of the State of Maryland.

We do not express an opinion with respect to any laws other than the laws of Maryland applicable to the authorization, valid issuance and nonassessability of shares of common stock of corporations formed pursuant to the provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law. Accordingly, our opinion does not extend to, among other laws, the federal securities laws or the securities or "blue sky" laws of Maryland or any other jurisdiction. Additionally, we do not express any opinion with respect to any laws, rules, regulations or orders concerning emergencies declared by any governmental authority or the effect thereof on the opinions expressed herein. Members of this firm are admitted to the bars of the State of New York and the District of Columbia.

Sequoia Fund, Inc.

April 27, 2026

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm in the Statement of Additional Information included therein.
