8. Share Repurchase Program

At the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the Fund is conducting a share repurchase program in which the Fund is repurchasing, in
each quarter, up to 5% of the Fund’s Common Shares outstanding (either by number of shares or aggregate NAV) as of the close of the previous
calendar quarter. The Fund does not intend to conduct a share repurchase offer during any calendar quarter for which our liquid assets plus available and undrawn leverage are less than 25% of our net assets as of the date of the most recent publicly available NAV prior to the commencement of such calendar quarter. In addition, our Board of Trustees may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our shareholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. We intend to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased by us pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.

Under the Fund’s share repurchase plan, to the extent the Fund offers to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, the Fund expects to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers on or around the last business day of that quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last business day of the applicable quarter, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of such NAV (an “Early Repurchase Deduction”). The one-year holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the valuation date of the applicable tender offer. The Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived at the Fund’s or Distributor’s discretion (a) in the case of repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder, (b) due to trade or operational error, or (c) for repurchase requests with respect to shares held in accounts of asset allocation programs, such as model portfolio management programs (and similar arrangements). The Early Repurchase Deduction will be waived in the event that a shareholder’s shares are repurchased because the shareholder has failed to maintain the $500 minimum account balance. In addition, the Fund’s Common Shares are sold to certain feeder vehicles primarily created to hold the Fund’s Common Shares that in turn offer interests in such feeder vehicles to non-U.S. persons. For such feeder vehicles and similar arrangements in certain markets, the Fund may not apply the Early Repurchase Deduction to the feeder vehicles or underlying investors, often because of administrative or systems limitations. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Fund for the benefit of remaining shareholders. The Fund commenced its initial quarterly repurchase offer on April 28, 2023.
