Frequently asked questions

1. How will proceeds be sent to shareholders?
   • 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.
2. Will tenders be prorated and how is it calculated?
   • Whether or not the tender will be prorated cannot be determined at this time. The fund has a specified number of shares it can repurchase each quarter. All valid tender 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.
3. 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 quarterly redemption window.
4. How is the share repurchase price determined?
   • The share repurchase price is based on the NAV per share as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the Repurchase Pricing Date, which normally will be the same date as the repurchase request deadline.
