Frequently asked questions

How will proceeds be sent to stockholders?

• Checks are sent via USPS and usually arrive within 7–10 business days after mailing.
• Proceeds sent to brokerage accounts may take 7–10 days to appear in accounts.
• Proceeds sent via ACH to a bank account are typically credited to the bank account in 3–5 days.

Will redemptions be prorated and how is it calculated?
Whether or not the redemption will be prorated cannot be determined at this time. The fund has a specified number of shares it can repurchase each month and quarter. All valid requests received prior to the expiration date of the repurchase offer will be considered. If the amount of repurchase requests exceeds the number of shares the fund seeks to repurchase, shares will be repurchased on a pro rata basis.

What happens to my request if redemptions are prorated?
In the event that repurchases are prorated, any unsatisfied requests must be resubmitted at the beginning of the next monthly redemption window.

How is the share repurchase price determined?
The share repurchase price is based on the NAV per share as of the most recent month end for each respective share class.

What happens if my request was deemed not in good order and has not been “cured” by the
repurchase deadline?
The request will be executed on the next month’s repurchase date at the transaction price applicable to that month, assuming the request has been “cured” by the next month’s repurchase deadline, unless such request is withdrawn prior to the repurchase.

Why would a stockholder’s distribution election be changed?
If redemptions are prorated, the shares which are not repurchased will be removed from the Distribution Reinvestment Price (DRP) plan and any distributions on those shares will be paid out in cash.
