BlueBay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund

[       ], 2025

Dear Shareholder,

BlueBay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund (the “Fund”) will hold a Special Meeting of Shareholders on December 9, 2025 at the offices of PINE Advisor Solutions, 501 S Cherry St., Suite 610, Denver, CO 80246, at 9:00 a.m. (Mountain Time) (the “Special Meeting”). Formal notice of the Special Meeting appears on the next page and is followed by the Proxy Statement for the Special Meeting.

At the Special Meeting, you are being asked to approve two proposals.

The first proposal is to approve an amended and restated sub-advisory agreement (the “A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between Destra Capital Advisors LLC (“Destra” or the “Investment Manager”) and RBC Global Asset Management (UK) Limited (“RBC BlueBay” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The approval of the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement is being proposed at the request of Destra and the Sub-Adviser so as to permit RBC BlueBay to utilize persons employed by an “affiliated person” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended) to assist in providing discretionary or non-discretionary services under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement. All fees and/or other compensation payable to such affiliates will be the responsibility of the Sub-Adviser.

The second proposal is to approve the reclassification of the Fund from diversified to non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). This change is intended to provide the Sub-Adviser with enhanced flexibility to manage the Fund’s portfolio in accordance with its investment strategy. The Fund operated as a non-diversified fund from its inception until March 31, 2024, at which point, pursuant to Rule 13a-1 of the 1940 Act, it was reclassified as diversified after having maintained a diversified investment profile for the preceding three years. The Fund now seeks to return to non-diversified status to better position the portfolio for strategic opportunities and align more closely with its long-term investment objectives and as required by Section 13(a)(1) of the 1940 Act, is seeking shareholder approval of that change.

The enclosed proxy statement explains the following proposals:

Thank you for your investment in the Fund. I encourage you to exercise your rights in governing the Fund by voting on the proposals. The Board of Trustees recommends that you vote FOR the proposals. Your vote is important.

The Board of Trustees has concluded that (i) amending the current sub-advisory agreement to allow for such use of affiliates and (ii) reclassifying the Fund as non-diversified would serve the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Fund’s investment strategy will not change and there will be no increase in the Fund’s aggregate fees as a result of the either proposal. It is important to note that THESE PROPOSALS WILL NOT RESULT IN ANY changes to the current investment strategy or portfolio management team, AND THERE WILL BE NO INCREASE IN THE FEES PAID BY SHAREHOLDERS.

Whether or not you expect to attend the Special Meeting, it is important that your shares be represented. Your immediate response will help reduce the need for the Fund to conduct additional proxy solicitations. Please review the proxy statement and then vote by Internet, telephone or mail as soon as possible. If you vote by mail, please sign and return the proxy card included in this package.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

If approved, RBC BlueBay may use persons employed by an “affiliated person” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended) to assist in providing discretionary or non-discretionary services under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the Fund will begin to operate as a non-diversified fund (i.e., be permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers.) THESE PROPOSALS WILL NOT RESULT IN ANY changes to the current investment strategy, Portfolio management team, or THE FEES PAID BY SHAREHOLDERS.

We encourage you to vote via the Internet or telephone using the control number on your proxy card and following the simple instructions because these methods result in the most efficient means of transmitting your vote and reduce the need for the Fund to conduct telephone solicitations and/or follow up mailings. If you would like to change your previous vote, you may vote again using any of the methods described above.

PART 1

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL 1
APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED Sub-Advisory Agreement

Introduction

The current investment adviser to the Fund, Destra Capital Advisors LLC (“Destra” or the “Investment Manager”), and the Fund have entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “existing sub-advisory agreement”) with RBC Global Asset Management (UK) Limited (“RBC BlueBay” or the “Sub-Adviser”). Under the existing sub-advisory agreement, RBC BlueBay may not delegate the performance of any of its services; however, RBC BlueBay is seeking to amend the existing sub-advisory agreement so as to permit it to rely on persons employed by, and facilities and resources of, its affiliates. The Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement (A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement”) would permit the Sub-Adviser to use persons employed by an “affiliated person” (as defined in the 1940 Act), each of whom shall be treated as an “associated person” of the Sub-Adviser (as defined in the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Advisers Act”)) to assist in providing discretionary or non-discretionary investment advisory services under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement to the extent not prohibited by, or inconsistent with, the 1940 Act and Advisers Act. The Sub-Adviser will be responsible under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement for any action taken by such person on behalf of the Sub-Adviser in assisting the Sub-Adviser under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement to the same extent as if the Sub-Adviser had taken such action directly. Furthermore, all fees and/or other compensation payable to such an affiliated person shall be the sole responsibility of the Sub-Adviser and the Fund shall not have any obligation to pay any fee or compensation to such affiliated person.

The form of the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The terms of the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement are substantially the same as the terms of the existing sub-advisory agreement with respect to services provided by RBC BlueBay. In addition, the sub-advisory fees payable to RBC BlueBay by Destra under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement are identical to the sub-advisory fees payable under the existing sub-advisory agreement. The material terms of the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and existing sub-advisory agreement are compared below in “Terms of the Existing and Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreements.”

Your approval of the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement would not result in any change in Fund’s advisory fee rate.

Factors Considered by the Trustees and their Recommendation

The Board of Trustees is recommending that shareholders vote to approve the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The Trustees considered and unanimously approved the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement at a meeting of the Board held on August 14, 2025. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the written materials that were provided in advance of the meeting, as well as information presented at the meeting. The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement. During the review process, the Board noted certain instances where clarification or follow-up was appropriate and others where the Board determined that further clarification or follow-up was not necessary. In those instances where clarification or follow-up was requested, the Board determined that in each case either information responsive to its requests had been provided, or where any request was outstanding in whole or in part, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement.

In recommending that shareholders vote to approve the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed and analyzed various factors it determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Service

The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser to the Fund under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the selection of Fund investments. The Board also reviewed and considered the qualifications of the key personnel of the Sub-Adviser who provide the investment advisory services to the Fund. The Board determined that the Sub-Adviser’s key personnel are well-qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services in an efficient and professional manner. The Board also took into account the Sub-Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures. The Board concluded that the overall quality of the advisory services to be provided was satisfactory.

Performance

The Board noted that it had reviewed the Fund’s performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year, and since inception periods ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies in connection with the Board’s consideration of the renewal of the Fund’s current investment sub-advisory agreement at its meeting on November 13, 2024 (the “November Meeting”). The Board noted that for the periods ended September 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed the peer group median over the three-year, five-year and since inception periods and slightly underperformed the peer group median over the one-year period.

The Board then considered the performance of the Fund against the Fund’s category average performance for the one-year, three-year, and since inception periods ended June 30, 2025, noting that the Fund underperformed the category average for the one-year period and outperformed the category average for the three-year and since inception periods. The Board also considered the investment experience of the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund compared against its benchmark. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund over the time periods reviewed was satisfactory.

Fees and Expenses

The Board reviewed the contractual sub-advisory fee rate currently paid and proposed to be paid by Destra to RBC Bluebay for services under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board observed that at the November Meeting, the Board had evaluated the Fund’s advisory fees and total net expense ratios, and compared the advisory fee and total net expense ratio for the Fund against the advisory fees and total expense ratios of a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees to be paid by Destra to RBC BlueBay under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement are the same as the fees paid by Destra to RBC BlueBay under the existing sub-advisory agreement and that such fees are and would be paid by Destra and not the Fund.

Comparable Accounts

The Board noted certain information provided RBC BlueBay regarding fees charged to its other clients utilizing a similar strategy to that employed by the Fund. The Board noted that RBC BlueBay does not have a sub-advisory or segregated large institutional relationship with a comparable strategy.

Economies of Scale

The Board reviewed the structure of the Fund’s investment management under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that generally, RBC BlueBay believes that its size, infrastructure and presence in the global credit markets offer benefits in terms of resources and deal sourcing, but that due to the Fund’s size, economies of scale were not present at this time.

Profitability

The Board noted its discussions regarding Destra’s profitability from its management of the Fund during the November Meeting. In addition, the Board considered information regarding the gross management fee revenue accrued to RBC BlueBay during the calendar year 2024.

Other Benefits to the Sub-Adviser

The Board also considered other benefits potentially received by the Sub-Adviser from its management of the Fund. The Board considered RBC BlueBay’s statements that they do not anticipate receiving or accruing any other benefits from its management of the Fund. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the fall-out benefits.

Conclusion

In considering approval of the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the factors and information described above, as well as information concerning the Sub-Adviser and the Fund that is provided to the Board throughout the year in connection with other Board meetings. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single item that was paramount or controlling, and individual Trustees may have attributed different weights to various factors. Based on its consideration of all factors that it deemed material, and assisted by the advice of its counsel, the Board concluded the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and approved the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based on all of the foregoing, the Trustees recommend that shareholders of the Fund vote FOR the approval of the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Terms of the Existing and Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreements

A copy of the proposed A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The following description is only a summary; however, all material terms of the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement have been included in this summary. You should refer to Exhibit A for the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Sub-Advisory Services. The sub-advisory services to be provided by RBC BlueBay under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement are substantially identical to those sub-advisory services currently provided by RBC BlueBay to the Fund under the existing sub-advisory agreement. Under both the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and the new sub-advisory agreement, RBC BlueBay manages the investment and reinvestment of such portion of the Fund’s assets as Destra from time to time allocates to RBC BlueBay for management (the “Sub-Advised Assets”). In furnishing its services under both the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and the existing sub-advisory agreement, RBC BlueBay will furnish its services to the Fund in accordance with the following: (i) the Fund’s declaration of trust, by-laws and/or other governing documents; (ii) the currently effective registration statement; (iii) the 1940 Act and Advisers Act and the rules thereunder and all other federal and state laws or regulations applicable to the Fund; (iv) the Fund’s compliance manual and other policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees; and (v) the instructions of Destra.

Under both the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and the existing sub-advisory agreement, RBC BlueBay may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, aggregate orders for securities to be purchased for the Sub-Advised Assets with orders of other funds managed or advised by RBC BlueBay and is authorized to effect cross-transactions between the Fund and other accounts managed by it.

Under the existing sub-advisory agreement, RBC BlueBay may not delegate the performance of any of its services. However, under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement is permitted to rely on persons employed by, and facilities and resources of, its affiliates to assist in providing discretionary or non-discretionary investment advisory services under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement to the extent not prohibited by, or inconsistent with, the 1940 Act and Advisers Act. The Sub-Adviser will be responsible under the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement for any action taken by such person on behalf of the Sub-Adviser and all fees and/or other compensation payable to such an affiliated person shall be the sole responsibility of the Sub-Adviser.

Proxies. Both the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and the existing sub-advisory agreement provide that RBC BlueBay is solely responsible to vote all proxies received with respect to the Sub-Advised Assets.

Supplemental Arrangements. Both the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and the existing sub-advisory agreement provide that RBC BlueBay may from time to time employ or associate itself with any person it believes to be particularly suited to assist it in providing the services to be performed under the respective agreement provided that no such person, shall perform any services with respect to the Fund that would constitute an assignment or require a written advisory agreement pursuant to the Investment Company Act.

Compensation of RBC BlueBay. Both the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and the existing sub-advisory agreement contain identical fee structures pursuant to which Destra pays RBC BlueBay a sub-advisory fee out of its management fee that it receives from the Fund.

Duration and Termination. The existing sub-advisory agreement provides that it will continue in effect for a period of more than two years from November 18, 2022 only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Trustees provided that in such event the continuance is also approved by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of such approval. The A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that it will continue for a period of more than two years from its effective date only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Trustees provided that in such event the continuance is also approved by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of such approval.

Both the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and the existing sub-advisory agreement provide that the respective agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, on sixty (60) days’ written notice to Destra and RBC BlueBay, or by RBC BlueBay or Destra on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Fund and the other party. Both agreements automatically terminate, without the payment of any penalty, (i) in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act), or (ii) in the event that the investment management agreement between Destra and the Fund is assigned (as defined in the 1940 Act) or terminates for any other reason. Both agreements also terminate upon written notice to the other party that the other party is in material breach of the respective agreement, unless the party in material breach cures the breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the other party within thirty (30) days after written notice.

Expenses. Both the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and the existing sub-advisory agreement provide that RBC BlueBay will furnish, at its own expense: (i) all necessary facilities (including office space, furnishings and equipment) and personnel, including salaries, expenses and fees of any personnel required for RBC BlueBay to perform its duties under the respective agreement; and (ii) administrative facilities, including bookkeeping and all equipment necessary for the performance of RBC BlueBay’s duties.

Limitation of Liability. Both the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and the existing sub-advisory agreement contain identical provisions with respect to the limitation of liability. The A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and the existing sub-advisory agreement both state that, neither RBC BlueBay or its affiliates will be liable for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation incurred or suffered by Destra or the Fund as a result of any error of judgment or mistake of law by RBC BlueBay or its affiliates with respect to the Fund. Both agreements also provide that RBC BlueBay will indemnify the Fund, Destra and their affiliates against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation arising under law based on any willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard or gross negligence of RBC BlueBay in the performance of its duties under the respective agreement or any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, proxy materials, advertisements, sales literature, or other materials for the Fund or the omission to state therein a material fact known to RBC BlueBay that was required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon written information furnished to Destra or the Fund by RBC BlueBay. Both agreements contain a reciprocal provision with respect to the indemnification and limitation of liability for RBC BlueBay.

Additional Information Pertaining to RBC BlueBay

The following table sets forth the name, position and principal occupation of each director and principal executive officer of RBC BlueBay. RBC BlueBay is indirectly wholly-owned by Royal Bank of Canada.

[There were no brokerage commissions paid by the Fund to affiliated brokers of RBC BlueBay for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.]

[As of the close of business on October 14, 2025 (the “Record Date”), no officer or Independent Trustee owns securities of, or any has other material direct or indirect interest in, RBC BlueBay or any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with RBC BlueBay.] [As of the Record Date, no Trustee has had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any material transaction, proposed or otherwise, since the beginning of the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 to which RBC BlueBay, or any parent or subsidiary of RBC BlueBay, or any parent or subsidiary of such entities, was a party.]

Required Vote

As provided under the 1940 Act, approval of the A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement will require the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. In accordance with the 1940 Act, a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the Fund means the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund present at a shareholder meeting if the owners of more than 50% of the shares of the Fund then outstanding are present in person or by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The shareholders of the Fund will vote together as a single class.

FOR THE REASONS SET FORTH ABOVE, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE FUND

UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND VOTE IN FAVOR OF

THE A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement.

PART 2

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL TO reclassifY the Fund from diversified to non-diversified

Introduction

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) requires every management company to be classified as either a “diversified” fund or “non-diversified” fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act also requires shareholders to approve a change in a fund’s classification from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund.

A diversified fund is limited as to the amount it may invest in any single issuer. Under the 1940 Act, a diversified fund may not, with respect to 75% of its total assets, invest in securities of any issuer if, as a result of such investment (i) more than 5% of the value of the fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of any one issuer, or (ii) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. These percentage limitations do not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or to securities issued by other investment companies. These limits apply at the time a diversified fund purchases a security; a diversified fund may exceed these limits if positions it already holds increase in value relative to the rest of the fund’s holdings. In contrast, a non-diversified fund is not subject to the limits of a diversified fund; it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a single issuer or a fewer number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund operated as a non-diversified fund from its inception until March 31, 2024, at which point, pursuant to Rule 13a-1 of the 1940 Act, it was reclassified as diversified after having maintained a diversified investment profile for the preceding three years. The Fund now seeks to return to non-diversified status to better position the portfolio for strategic opportunities and align more closely with its long-term investment objectives. This change is also expected to provide the Sub-Adviser with enhanced flexibility to manage the Fund’s portfolio in accordance with its investment strategy.

To the extent the Fund invests its assets in a smaller number of issuers, the Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers than a diversified fund. Investing a larger percentage of the Fund’s assets in any one issuer could increase the Fund’s risk of loss and its share price volatility because the value of its shares would be more susceptible to adverse events affecting that issuer. If the Fund takes a larger position in an issuer that subsequently has an adverse return, the Fund may have a greater loss than it would have had if the Sub-Adviser had invested Fund assets in a larger number of issuers.

Other than the change in the Fund’s classification from diversified to non-diversified, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser do not propose or anticipate any other material changes in the management of the Fund if the Proposal is approved. Any future material changes to the management of the Fund will require consideration by the Board and disclosure in the Fund’s prospectus or statement of additional information, as appropriate. In addition, the Fund has maintained and intends to continue to maintain the required level of diversification and otherwise conduct its operations so as to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

If shareholders of the Fund do not approve the Proposal, the Fund will continue to operate as a “diversified” fund.

At a meeting held on August 14, 2025, the Board considered the Proposal and voted unanimously to approve the Proposal. In determining to recommend approval of the Proposal, the Board considered, among other factors, that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser believe that such change would better position the Fund’s portfolio for strategic opportunities and align with its long-term investment objectives.

PART 3

PART 4

INFORMATION ON PROXY VOTING AND THE SPECIAL MEETING

Who is Eligible to Vote

Shareholders of record of the Fund as of the close of business on October 14, 2025 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote on all of the Fund’s business at the Special Meeting and any adjournments thereof. Each whole share is entitled to one vote on each matter on which it is entitled to vote, and each fractional share is entitled to a proportionate fractional vote.

Proposals by Shareholders

The Fund does not intend to hold meetings of shareholders except to the extent that such meetings may be required under the 1940 Act or state law. Under the Fund’s Declaration of Trust, shareholders owning in the aggregate 10% of the outstanding shares of all classes of the Fund have the right to call a meeting of shareholders to consider the removal of one or more Trustees. Shareholders who wish to submit proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement for a subsequent shareholder meeting should submit their written proposals to the Fund at its principal office within a reasonable time before such meeting. The timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee its consideration at the meeting.

Proxies, Quorum and Voting at the Special Meeting

Shareholders may use the proxy card provided if they are unable to attend the Special Meeting in person or wish to have their shares voted by a proxy even if they do attend the Special Meeting. Any shareholder that has given a proxy to someone has the power to revoke that proxy at any time prior to its exercise by executing a superseding proxy or by submitting a notice of revocation to the secretary of the Fund. The Fund’s secretary is Mr. Jake Schultz, and he may be reached at the following address: 443 North Willson Avenue, Bozeman, Montana 59715.

If no instruction is given, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares represented thereby in favor of the proposal described herein and will use their best judgment to vote on such other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Telephonic Voting. Shareholders may call the toll-free phone number indicated on their proxy card to vote their shares. Shareholders will need to enter the control number set forth on their proxy card and then will be prompted to answer a series of simple questions. The telephonic procedures are designed to authenticate a shareholder’s identity, to allow shareholders to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

Internet Voting. Shareholders may submit an “electronic” proxy over the Internet in lieu of returning an executed proxy card. In order to use this voting feature, shareholders should go to the website indicated on the shareholder’s proxy card and enter the control number set forth on the proxy card. Shareholders will be prompted to follow a simple set of instructions, which will appear on the website.

Quorum

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of thirty-three and one-third (33-1/3%) of the Shares of the Fund present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions will be counted as present, and broker “non-votes” will not be counted as present. Abstentions will have the effect of a “no” vote for purposes of obtaining the requisite approval of the proposal.

If a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, or if a quorum is present at the Special Meeting but sufficient votes to approve a proposal are not received, shareholders may vote to adjourn the Special Meeting in order to solicit additional proxies. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more proposals prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes for its approval have been received and it is otherwise appropriate. Such vote will be considered final regardless of whether the Special Meeting is adjourned to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other proposal.

As provided under the 1940 Act, approval of the proposed A&R Sub-Advisory Agreement and the reclassification of the Fund from diversified to non-diversified will each require the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. In accordance with the 1940 Act, a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the Fund means the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund present at a shareholder meeting if the owners of more than 50% of the shares of the Fund then outstanding are present in person or by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

Method of Solicitation and Expenses

Your vote is being solicited by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The cost of soliciting proxies, including the costs related to the solicitation of shareholders, printing, mailing and tabulation of proxies and the fees of the proxy soliciting agent, will be borne by the Sub-Adviser. The Fund expects that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, but may also include telephone, electronic or other means of communication. If the Fund does not receive your proxy by a certain time, you may receive a telephone call from the proxy soliciting agent asking you to vote. The Fund does not reimburse Trustees and officers of the Fund, or regular employees and agents of the Investment Manager, for any involvement in the solicitation of proxies.

The Fund will not bear any expenses in connection with soliciting shareholder approval. All such expenses will be borne by the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser will pay the cost of those services estimated to be $37,900.

Voting by RBC

As of the Record Date, RBC owns and/or has the power to vote approximately [  ]% of the shares of the Fund as disclosed on Exhibit C to this proxy statement. RBC intends to vote those shares in favor of Proposals.

Ownership of the Fund

[As of the Record Date, the current Trustees and officers as a group owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund or any class of the Fund. Each person that, to the knowledge of the Fund, owned beneficially or of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund as of the Record Date is listed in Exhibit C to this proxy statement.]

Procedures for Shareholder Communications with the Board

Shareholders may send communications to the Board of Trustees of the Fund. Shareholders should send communications intended for the Board of Trustees by addressing the communication directly to the Board of Trustees (or individual Trustee(s)) and/or otherwise clearly indicating in the salutation that the communication is for the Board of Trustees (or individual Trustee(s)) and by sending the communication to the Fund’s address for the Trustee(s) at c/o BlueBay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund, 443 North Willson Avenue, Bozeman, Montana 59715. Other Shareholder communications received by the Fund not directly addressed and sent to the Board of Trustees will be reviewed and generally responded to by management, and will be forwarded to the Board only at management’s discretion based on the matters contained therein.

Other Business

While the Special Meeting has been called to transact any business that may properly come before it, the only matter that the Trustees intend to present is the matter stated in the attached Notice of the Special Meeting of Shareholders. However, if any additional matters properly come before the Special Meeting, and on all matters incidental to the conduct of the Special Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the proxy in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon the Sub-Adviser any obligation to purchase or to recommend for purchase for the Fund any investment that the Sub-Adviser, its affiliates, officers or employees may purchase or sell for its or their own account or for the account of any client, if in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sub-Adviser it is for any reason impractical or undesirable to take such action or make such recommendation for the Fund.

The Sub-Adviser will be responsible under this Agreement for any action taken by such person on behalf of the Sub-Adviser in assisting the Sub-Adviser under the Agreement to the same extent as if the Sub-Adviser had taken such action directly. All fees and/or other compensation payable to such an affiliated person shall be the sole responsibility of the Sub-Adviser and the Trust shall not have any obligation to pay any fee or compensation to such affiliated person.

The Sub-Adviser may rely on persons employed by, and facilities and resources of, RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (or a successor to substantially all of the business of the foregoing) to assist the Sub-Adviser in providing services under this Agreement. The Sub-Adviser will be responsible under this Agreement for any action taken by the foregoing in assisting the Sub-Adviser under the Agreement to the same extent as if the Sub-Adviser had taken such action directly.

The Advisor will pay the Sub-Adviser a monthly advisory fee, with respect to the Sub-Advised Managed Assets. Such fee will be equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily managed assets based on an annual rate of 1.75%, as described in the Investment Management Agreement, and in accordance with the following table:

The Sub-Adviser shall not incur any liability to the Fund or the Advisor for failing to vote any proxies, or to take an action with respect to a corporate action, if it had not received such proxies or related communication on a timely basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sub-Adviser shall not be responsible for the exercise of any class or similar representative action attached to securities of the Fund.

The Sub-Adviser may from time to time employ or associate itself with any person it believes to be particularly suited to assist it in providing the services to be performed by such Sub-Adviser hereunder, provided that no such person shall perform any services with respect to the Fund that would constitute an assignment or require a written advisory agreement pursuant to the Investment Company Act. Any compensation payable to such persons shall be the sole responsibility of the Sub-Adviser, and neither the Advisor nor the Fund shall have any obligations with respect thereto or otherwise arising under the Agreement.

The Sub-Adviser shall submit to all regulatory and administrative bodies having jurisdiction over the services provided pursuant to this Agreement any information, reports, or other material which any such body by reason of this Agreement may request or require pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.

The records relating to the services provided under this Agreement shall be the property of the Fund and shall be under its control; however, the Fund shall furnish to the Sub-Adviser such records and permit the Sub-Adviser to retain such records (either in original or in duplicate form) as the Sub-Adviser shall reasonably require in order to carry out its business. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, such other records shall promptly be returned to the Fund by the Sub-Adviser free from any claim or retention of rights therein, provided that the Sub-Adviser may retain any such records that are required to be retained by it by law or regulation. The Advisor and the Sub-Adviser shall keep confidential any information obtained in connection with their respective duties hereunder and shall disclose such information only if the Fund has authorized such disclosure or if such disclosure is expressly required or requested by applicable federal or state regulatory authorities, or otherwise required by law.

This Agreement shall become effective upon the date first above written, provided that this Agreement shall not take effect unless it has first been approved: (i) by a vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Fund who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of any party to this Agreement (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii) by vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of more than two (2) years from the date of its execution only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Trustees provided that in such event such continuance shall also be approved by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Advisor and the Sub-Adviser, or by the Advisor or Sub-Adviser on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Fund and the other party. This Agreement will automatically terminate, without the payment of any penalty, (i) in the event of its assignment (as defined in the Investment Company Act), or (ii) in the event the Investment Management Agreement between the Advisor and the Fund is assigned (as defined in the Investment Company Act) or terminates for any other reason. This Agreement will also terminate upon written notice to the other party that the other party is in material breach of this Agreement, unless the party in material breach of this Agreement cures such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the party alleging the breach within thirty (30) days after written notice.

Except to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act or the rules or regulations thereunder or pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC, this Agreement may be amended by the parties only if such amendment, if material, is specifically approved by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund (unless such approval is not required by Section 15 of the Investment Company Act as interpreted by the SEC or its staff or unless the SEC has granted an exemption from such approval requirement) and by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

Any assignment (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act) of this Agreement made by the Sub-Adviser shall result in the automatic termination of this Agreement, as provided in Section 12 hereof.
