The Fund may employ leverage going forward. This variable rate is based on current interest rates under the Fund’s committed facility and is subject to change. The interest rate will increase in rising interest rate environments and, therefore, the actual interest rate expense borne by Fund shareholders will increase over time in a rising interest rate environment. While the Fund has no present intention to issue preferred shares within the next twelve months, if an attractive preferred shares financing opportunity were to come to the Fund’s attention during that period, the Fund may consider that opportunity.

If the Fund incurs expenses excluded from the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Fund’s expense ratio would be higher and could exceed the Expense Limitation. In consideration of the Adviser’s agreement to limit the Fund’s expenses, the Adviser is entitled to recoup from the Fund the amount of any fees waived and Fund expenses paid or absorbed (other than organizational and initial offering expenses, which are those expenses incurred by the Fund in order to permit the Fund to be declared effective by the SEC and to commence operations) to the extent that: (1) the reimbursement for fees and expenses will be made only if payable not more than three years from the date on which such fees are foregone or expenses are incurred by the Adviser; and (2) such recoupment does not cause the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses plus recoupment to exceed the Expense Limitation in effect at the time the expenses were paid or waived or any Expense Limitation in effect at the time of recoupment. The Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in effect until at least May 1, 2027 unless and until the Board approves its modification or termination. The Expense Limitation Agreement may not be amended or terminated unless approved by the Board. See “Management of the Fund.” “Fee Waiver and Reimbursement” have been restated from fiscal year amounts to reflect current fees and expenses. </div></td> </tr></table>

As of December 31, 2025, the Fund employed leverage in an amount equal to approximately 1% of net assets. The Fund may employ leverage going forward. This variable rate is based on current interest rates under the Fund’s committed facility and is subject to change. The interest rate will increase in rising interest rate environments and, therefore, the actual interest rate expense borne by Fund shareholders will increase over time in a rising interest rate environment. While the Fund has no present intention to issue preferred shares within the next twelve months, if an attractive preferred shares financing opportunity were to come to the Fund’s attention during that period, the Fund may consider that opportunity. See “Principal Risks of the Fund — Leverage Risk” in the Prospectus for a brief description of the Fund’s Repurchase Agreement with Mizuho.

<div style="margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;">If shareholders request repurchase proceeds be paid by wire transfer, such shareholders will be assessed an outgoing wire transfer fee at prevailing rates charged by SS&C, currently $10.00. The purpose of the above table is to help a holder of shares understand the fees and expenses that such holder would bear directly or indirectly. There can be no assurance that the Expense Limitation Agreement will be renewed. In the event the Expense Limitation Agreement is terminated by either party, investors will likely bear higher expenses. </div>
A portion of the sales load payable on Class A shares will be a reallowance to participating broker-dealers (see page 77 of this Prospectus). In addition, up to 0.75% of this sales load will be paid to the Fund’s Distributor. There are no sales loads on reinvested distributions. The Fund reserves the right to waive broker commissions.
As of December 31, 2025, the Fund employed leverage in an amount equal to approximately 1% of net assets. The Fund may employ leverage going forward. This variable rate is based on current interest rates under the Fund’s committed facility and is subject to change. The interest rate will increase in rising interest rate environments and, therefore, the actual interest rate expense borne by Fund shareholders will increase over time in a rising interest rate environment. While the Fund has no present intention to issue preferred shares within the next twelve months, if an attractive preferred shares financing opportunity were to come to the Fund’s attention during that period, the Fund may consider that opportunity. See “Principal Risks of the Fund — Leverage Risk” in the Prospectus for a brief description of the Fund’s Repurchase Agreement with Mizuho.
Class C shares will pay to the Distributor a Distribution Fee that will accrue at an annual rate equal to 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares, and is payable on a quarterly basis. These Distribution fees may be paid to broker or Financial Intermediaries as compensation to sell Fund shares. Class A and Class Z shares are not subject to a Distribution Fee. See “Plan of Distribution.”
Shareholder Servicing Fees may be used to compensate financial industry professionals for providing ongoing services in respect of clients with whom they have distributed shares of the Fund. Please refer to page 79 of this Prospectus for information.
The Adviser and the Fund have entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement under which the Adviser has agreed contractually to waive its fees and to pay or absorb the ordinary annual operating expenses of the Fund (including organizational and offering expenses, but excluding distribution fees, interest, dividend expenses on short sales, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, expenses payable by the Fund for third party administration services, litigation expenses and extraordinary expenses), to the extent that they exceed 1.75% per annum of the Fund’s average Daily Gross Assets (the “Expense Limitation”). If the Fund incurs expenses excluded from the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Fund’s expense ratio would be higher and could exceed the Expense Limitation. In consideration of the Adviser’s agreement to limit the Fund’s expenses, the Adviser is entitled to recoup from the Fund the amount of any fees waived and Fund expenses paid or absorbed (other than organizational and initial offering expenses, which are those expenses incurred by the Fund in order to permit the Fund to be declared effective by the SEC and to commence operations) to the extent that: (1) the reimbursement for fees and expenses will be made only if payable not more than three years from the date on which such fees are foregone or expenses are incurred by the Adviser; and (2) such recoupment does not cause the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses plus recoupment to exceed the Expense Limitation in effect at the time the expenses were paid or waived or any Expense Limitation in effect at the time of recoupment. The Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in effect until at least May 1, 2027 unless and until the Board approves its modification or termination. The Expense Limitation Agreement may not be amended or terminated unless approved by the Board. See “Management of the Fund.” “Fee Waiver and Reimbursement” have been restated from fiscal year amounts to reflect current fees and expenses.
The value included in the “Total Annual Expenses” line item corresponds to the Expense Limitation pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement. The value in the “Fees and Fund Expenses” table is presented as a percentage of net assets, while the Expense Limitation, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement, is calculated based on average Daily Gross Assets, but converted and expressed as a percentage of net assets for purposes of the fees and fund expenses table presentation. “Total Annual Expenses (after fee waiver and reimbursement)” have been restated from fiscal year amounts to reflect current fees and expenses.
Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $500,000 or more may be subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed during the first 18 months after their purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC for redemptions of shares within 18 months after their purchase.
