PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
NOTICE OF 2023 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held On June 18, 2024, 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time

This document will give you the information you need to vote on the matters listed on the accompanying Notice of 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Notice of Annual Meeting”). Much of the information in this proxy statement (this “Proxy Statement”) is required under rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and some of it is technical in nature. If there is anything you do not understand, please contact us at (212) 970-1400.

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Redwood Enhanced Income Corp. (the “Company,” “REIC,” “we,” “us” or “our”) for use at our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”) to be held at the Company’s principal executive office, 250 West 55th Street, 26th Floor, New York, New York 10019, on June 18, 2024 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time and at any postponements or adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement and the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 are being provided to stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholders”) of record as of April 24, 2024 (the “Record Date”) via mail on or about April 26, 2024. In addition, a Notice of Annual Meeting and a proxy card are being mailed to Stockholders of record as of the Record Date.

We encourage you to vote your shares, either by voting in person at the Meeting or by voting by proxy, which means that you authorize someone else to vote your shares. Shares represented by duly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you execute a proxy without specifying your voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendation. If any other business is brought before the Meeting, your shares will be voted at the Board’s discretion unless you specifically state otherwise on your proxy.

You may revoke a proxy at any time before it is exercised by notifying the Company’s Secretary in writing, by submitting a properly executed, later-dated proxy or by voting in person at the Meeting. Any Stockholder entitled to vote at the Meeting may attend the Meeting and vote in person, whether or not he, she or it has previously voted his, her or its shares via proxy or wishes to change a previous vote.

You will be eligible to vote your shares in person or by mail by following the instructions on the proxy card.

Purpose of the Meeting

At the Meeting, you will be asked to vote on the following proposals (the “Proposals”):

1. To elect two directors of the Company who will serve until the 2027 annual meeting of Stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualify (“Proposal 1”); and

2. To ratify the selection of Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (“Proposal 2”).

Voting Securities

You may vote your shares at the Meeting only if you were a Stockholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date. There were 16,507,489.45 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), outstanding on the Record Date. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote.

Quorum Required

A quorum must be present at the Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding

which are entitled to vote on the Record Date will constitute a quorum. Abstentions will be treated as shares that are present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting. Shares held by a broker or other nominee for which the nominee has not received voting instructions from the record holder and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares on non-routine proposals are considered “broker non-votes” with respect to such proposals. However, because Proposal 2 is a routine matter, broker non-votes will be treated as shares that are present for quorum purposes at the Meeting. Therefore, a broker non-vote will make a quorum more readily attainable.

Votes Required

Election of Directors

The election of a director requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by Stockholders entitled to vote at the Meeting in person or by proxy. For purposes of the election of a director, a plurality of votes cast shall mean that the number of votes cast “for” a nominee’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that nominee’s election, even if such nominee does not receive more than half of all votes cast. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes. Abstentions will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will have no effect on Proposal 1.

Ratification of Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Stockholders entitled to vote at the Meeting in person or by proxy. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes. Abstentions will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will have no effect on Proposal 2.

Broker Non-Votes

Broker non-votes are described as votes cast by a broker or other nominee on behalf of a beneficial holder who does not provide explicit voting instructions to such broker or nominee and who does not participate in the Meeting. Proposal 1, the election of two directors, is a non-routine matter. As a result, if you hold shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or nominee will not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to Proposal 1. Therefore, if you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions on how to vote for you or you do not vote for yourself via mail by returning a proxy card, then your shares will have no effect on Proposal 1.

Proposal 2, the ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, is a routine matter. As a result, if you beneficially own your shares and you do not provide your broker or nominee with proxy instructions, either by voting in accordance with the voting instructions on the proxy card, by returning a proxy card or by other arrangement with your broker or nominee, then your broker or nominee will be able to vote your shares for you on Proposal 2.

Adjournment and Additional Solicitation

If there are not enough votes to establish a quorum or to approve the Proposals at the Meeting, then either the presiding officer of the Meeting or the Stockholders who are represented in person or by proxy may vote to adjourn the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Adam Bensley and Linda Forish are the persons named as the proxies for the Company and will vote proxies held by them for an adjournment if necessary to permit the further solicitation of proxies for purposes of establishing a quorum.

A Stockholder vote may be taken on any of the Proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to any such adjournment if there are sufficient votes for approval of such Proposal.

Information Regarding This Solicitation

The Company will bear the expense of the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting, including the cost of preparing and mailing the Notice of Annual Meeting, this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and the Annual Report to Stockholders. The Company reimburses brokers, trustees, fiduciaries and other institutions for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners and soliciting them to execute proxies.

In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, proxies may be solicited in person by directors or officers of the Company, officers or employees of Redwood Capital Management, LLC, the Company’s investment adviser and administrator (“Redwood Capital Management”, the “Adviser” or the “Administrator”). No additional compensation will be paid to such directors, officers or regular employees for such services. The solicitor will not attempt to influence how you vote your shares, but only ask that you take the time to cast a vote. The address of Redwood Capital Management is 250 West 55th Street, 26th Floor, New York, New York 10019.

Stockholders may provide their voting instructions in person or by mail by following the instructions on the proxy card.

Any proxy authorized pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by notice from the person giving the proxy at any time before it is exercised. A revocation may be effected by obtaining and properly completing another proxy card that is dated later than the original proxy card and returning it by mail in time to be received before the Meeting, by attending the Meeting and voting in person, or by a notice, provided in writing and signed by the Stockholder, delivered to the Company’s Secretary on any business day before the date of the Meeting.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s charter provides for classifying the Board in three classes serving staggered three-year terms. In accordance with the Company’s amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws), the Board currently has five members and, if the nominee for director is elected at the Meeting, the Board will continue to have five members. After this election, the terms of the directors will expire in either 2025, 2026 or 2027. Each director will hold office for the term to which he or she is elected or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies.

A Stockholder can vote for or against, or abstain from voting with respect to, any nominee. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named as proxies to vote such proxy FOR the election of the nominee named below. If the nominee should decline or be unable to serve as a director, it is intended that the proxy will be voted for the election of such person as is nominated by the Board as a replacement. The Board has no reason to believe that the nominee below will be unable or unwilling to serve.

THE BOARD, INCLUDING EACH OF ITS INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEE NAMED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

No director otherwise serves as a director of any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or subject to the requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or any company registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

Employee, Officer and Director Hedging

No employee, officer or director engages in hedging, and we do not have any hedging polices.

Corporate Governance

We believe that maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance is a crucial part of our business, and we are committed to having in place the necessary controls and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Director Independence

Our Board has determined that each of our directors, other than Messrs. Kliksberg and Sauler, is independent under the 1940 Act. The Board limits membership on the Audit Committee of the Company and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company to Independent Directors.

The Board’s Risk Oversight Role

The Board performs its risk oversight function primarily through (1) its two standing committees, described more fully below, which report to the Board and are comprised solely of Independent Directors and (2) monitoring by the Chief Compliance Officer in accordance with the Company’s compliance policies and procedures. Due to the fact the Company’s executive officers and interested directors are not compensated, the Board does not have a Compensation Committee.

The Board’s Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assist the Board in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee’s risk oversight responsibilities include overseeing the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s risk oversight responsibilities include nominating directors for election by the Company’s stockholders, developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the directors and management. Because they are comprised solely of Independent Directors, the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are able to exercise their oversight responsibilities without any conflict of interest that might discourage critical questioning and review.

The Board also performs its risk oversight responsibilities with the assistance of the Chief Compliance Officer. The Chief Compliance Officer will prepare a written report annually discussing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s compliance policies and procedures and certain of its service providers. The Chief Compliance Officer’s report, which is reviewed by the Board, will address, at a minimum, (1) the operation of the Company’s compliance policies and procedures and certain of its service providers since the last report; (2) any material changes to such policies and procedures since the last report; (3) any recommendations for material changes to such policies and procedures as a result of the Chief Compliance

Officer’s annual review; and (4) any compliance matter that has occurred since the date of the last report about which the Board would reasonably need to know to oversee the Company’s compliance activities and risks. In addition, the Chief Compliance Officer will meet separately in executive session with the Independent Directors at least once each year.

The Company believes that the Board’s role in risk oversight is effective and appropriate given the extensive regulation to which the Company will be subject as a BDC. However, the Board will continually re-examine the manner in which it administers its risk oversight function to ensure that it meets the Company’s needs.

The Board’s Composition and Leadership Structure

The Company’s business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board. The Board currently consists of five members, three of whom are Independent Directors. The Board has elected the Company’s officers, who serve at the discretion of the Board. The Company believes that the small size of the Board creates a highly efficient governance structure that provides ample opportunity for direct communication and interaction between the Adviser and the directors.

Ruben Kliksberg, the CEO of the Adviser, and, Sean Sauler, the Deputy-CEO of the Adviser, and therefore interested persons of the Company, serve as Co-Chairmen of the Board. The Company believes that it is in the best interests of stockholders for Messrs. Kliksberg and Sauler to lead the Board because of their broad experience with the day-to-day management and operation of other investment funds and their significant background in the financial services industry, as described below. The Board has not initially identified a lead Independent Director. However, the Company believes that the Board’s proposed leadership structure, in which (1) 60% of the directors are Independent Directors and, as such, are not affiliated with the Adviser, and (2) each of its standing committees is chaired by an Independent Director, is appropriate in light of the services that the Adviser will provide the Company and the potential conflicts of interest that could arise from these relationships.

Information About Each Director’s Experience, Qualifications, Attributes or Skills

Below is additional information about each director (supplementing the information provided in the table above) that describes some of the specific experiences, qualifications, attributes and/or skills that each director possesses and which the Board believes has prepared each director to be an effective member of the Board. The Board believes that the significance of each director’s experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills is an individual matter (meaning that experience or a factor that is important for one director may not have the same value for another) and that these factors are best evaluated at the Board level, with no single director, or particular factor, being indicative of Board effectiveness. However, the Board believes that directors need to have the ability to review, evaluate, question and discuss critical information provided to them and to interact effectively with Company management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties. The Board believes that its members satisfy this standard. Experience relevant to having this ability may be achieved through a director’s professional experience, education and/or other personal experiences. The Company’s counsel has significant experience advising funds and fund board members. The Board and its committees have the ability to engage other experts as appropriate. The Board evaluates its performance on an annual basis.

The Board believes that, collectively, the directors have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the Company and protecting the interests of its Stockholders. Below is a description of the various experiences, qualifications, attributes and/or skills with respect to each director considered by the Board.

Committees of the Board

The Board held eight meetings in 2023. The Company requires each director to make a diligent effort to attend all meetings of the Board and committee of which he or she is a member and each annual meeting of the stockholders. All of the directors attended each meeting.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee operates pursuant to an Audit Committee Charter approved by the Board. The charter sets forth the responsibilities of the Audit Committee, which include: selecting or retaining each year an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s accounts and records; reviewing and discussing with management and the auditors the Company’s annual audited financial statements; reviewing and discussing with management and the auditors the Company’s quarterly unaudited financial statements; pre-approving the auditors’ engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services; reviewing and approving all related party transactions; and evaluating the qualifications, performance and independence of the auditors. The Audit Committee is also responsible for aiding the Board in determining the fair value of the Company’s portfolio securities that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. The Audit Committee Charter is appended hereto.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Ms. Manischewitz, Mr. Onefater and Ms. Rosenthal, each of whom is an Independent Director.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider stockholder recommendations for possible nominees for election as directors when such recommendations are submitted in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter and any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding director nominations.

Criteria considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in evaluating the qualifications of individuals for election as a member of the Board of Directors include: compliance with the independence and other applicable requirements of the 1940 Act, and all other applicable laws, rules, regulations and listing standards; the criteria, policies and principles set forth in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter; and the ability to contribute to the effective management of the Company, taking into account the Company’s needs and such factors as the individual’s experience, perspective, skills and knowledge of the industry in which the Company operates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider, with respect to an individual being considered for election or appointment as a member of the Board of Directors, whether the individual’s professional experience, education, skills and other individual qualities and attributes, including gender, race or national origin, would provide beneficial diversity of skills, experience or perspective to the Board of Directors’ membership and collective attributes. Such considerations will vary based on the Board of Directors’ existing membership and other factors, such as the strength of the individual’s overall qualifications relative to diversity considerations.

For a discussion of the Independent Directors’ compensation, see below.

For the fiscal-year ended December 31, 2023, each Independent Director received an annual payment of $75,000 for services performed on behalf of the Company as a director. The Company did not reimburse Independent Directors any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending each meeting of the Board and each committee meeting (unless combined with a meeting of the Board). In addition, the

Company has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on behalf of its directors and officers and indemnify such persons against certain losses.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Transactions with Related Persons; Review, Approval or Ratification of Transaction with Related Persons

The Company has entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser in accordance with the 1940 Act. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides the Company with investment advisory and management services. For these services, the Company will pay (1) a management fee equal to a percentage of the value of the Company’s net assets excluding cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds and (2) an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance.

The Company has entered into the Administration Agreement with the Administrator. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator will perform, or oversee the performance of, the Company’s required administrative services. Payments under the Administration Agreement will be based upon the Company’s allocable portion of the overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including the fees of the Sub-Administrator, rent, technology systems (including subscription fees and other costs and expenses related to Bloomberg Professional Services and the Adviser’s third-party Order Management System), insurance and the Company’s allocable portion of the cost of compensation and related expenses of its Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

The Adviser and its affiliates may engage in management or investment activities on behalf of entities that have overlapping objectives and strategies with the Company. The Adviser and its affiliates may face conflicts in the allocation of investment opportunities to the Company and any others to which they may provide management or investment services. In order to address these conflicts, the Adviser has an investment allocation policy that seeks to ensure the fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities and addresses the co-investment restrictions set forth under the 1940 Act.

The Company expects that there will not be readily available market values for many of the investments that will be in its portfolio, and the Company will value such investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, the Company’s Valuation Designee, subject to the oversight of the Board under the Company’s valuation policy and process. Valuations of private investments and private companies require judgment, are inherently uncertain, often fluctuate and are frequently based on estimates. It is possible that determinations of fair value will differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market for these investments existed. If determinations regarding the fair value of investments were materially higher than the values that were ultimately realized upon the sale of such investments, the returns to the Company’s investors would be adversely affected. In connection with that determination, investment professionals from Adviser will provide the Board with preliminary portfolio company valuations based upon the most recent portfolio company financial statements available and projected financial results of each portfolio company. The participation of the Adviser’s investment professionals in the valuation process could result in a conflict of interest as the Adviser’s base management fee will be based, in part, on the Company’s net assets and the incentive fees will be based, in part, on unrealized gains and losses.

Under the incentive fee structure in the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company’s adjusted net investment income for purposes thereof is computed and paid on income that may include interest income that has been accrued but not yet received in cash. This fee structure may give rise to a conflict of interest for the Adviser to the extent that it encourages the Adviser to favor debt financings that provide for deferred interest, rather than current cash payments of interest. The Adviser may have an incentive to invest in deferred interest securities in circumstances where it would not have done so but for the opportunity to continue to earn the incentive fee even when the issuers of the deferred interest securities would not be able to make actual cash payments to the Company on such securities. This risk could be increased because, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is not obligated to reimburse the Company for incentive fees

it receives even if the Company subsequently incurs losses or never receives in cash the deferred income that was previously accrued.

In addition, the incentive fee payable to the Adviser may create an incentive for the Adviser to cause the Company to realize capital gains or losses that may not be in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders. Under the incentive fee structure, the Adviser benefits when the Company recognizes capital gains and, because the Adviser determines when an investment is sold, the Adviser controls the timing of the recognition of such capital gains.

The professionals of the Adviser currently serve and may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as the Company does or of accounts sponsored or managed by the Adviser or its affiliates. Similarly, the Adviser or its affiliates currently manage and may have other clients with similar or competing investment objectives. In serving in these multiple capacities, they may have obligations to other clients or investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders. As a result, those individuals may face conflicts in the allocation of investment opportunities among the Company and other accounts advised by or affiliated with the Adviser or its affiliates. Certain of these accounts may provide for higher management or incentive fees, greater expense reimbursements or overhead allocations, or permit the Adviser and its affiliates to receive higher origination and other transaction fees, all of which may contribute to this conflict of interest and create an incentive for the Adviser to favor such other accounts. For example, the 1940 Act restricts the Adviser from receiving more than a 1% fee in connection with loans that the Company acquires, or originates, a limitation that does not exist for certain other accounts. The Adviser seeks to allocate investment opportunities among eligible accounts in a manner that is fair and equitable over time and consistent with its allocation policy. However, there can be no assurance that such opportunities will be allocated to the Company fairly or equitably in the short-term or over time, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to participate in all investment opportunities that are suitable to it.

The Company will be prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with its affiliates without the prior approval of the Independent Directors and, in some cases, the SEC. Any person that owns, directly or indirectly, five percent or more of the Company’s outstanding voting securities will be its affiliate for purposes of the 1940 Act, and the Company generally will be prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to such affiliate, absent the prior approval of the Independent Directors. The Company will consider the Adviser and its affiliates to be its affiliates for such purposes. The 1940 Act also prohibits certain “joint” transactions with certain of the Company’s affiliates, which could include investments in the same portfolio company, without prior approval of the Independent Directors and, in some cases, the SEC. The Company will be prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to, among others, any person who owns more than 25% of the Company’s voting securities or certain of that person’s affiliates, or entering into prohibited joint transactions with such persons, absent the prior approval of the SEC.

The Company may, however, invest alongside the Adviser and its affiliates’ other clients in certain circumstances where doing so is consistent with applicable law and SEC staff interpretations. For example, the Company may invest alongside such accounts consistent with guidance promulgated by the SEC staff permitting the Company and such other accounts to purchase interests in a single class of privately placed securities so long as certain conditions are met, including that the Adviser, acting on the Company’s behalf and on behalf of its other clients, negotiates no term other than price. The Company may also invest alongside the Adviser’s other clients as otherwise permissible under regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and the Adviser’s allocation policy.

On April 1, 2022, the SEC granted to the Adviser and the Company exemptive relief on which we expect to rely to co-invest with other funds managed by the Adviser in a manner consistent with our investment, objectives, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors.

The Adviser and its affiliates may from time to time incur expenses on behalf of the Company and their other clients (which may include one or more investment funds established by the Adviser or its affiliates). Although the Adviser and its affiliates will attempt to allocate such expenses on a basis that they consider equitable, there can be no assurance that such expenses will be allocated appropriately in all cases. As a result, the Company may bear an expense to which it does not receive a proportionate (or any) benefit.

2024 FISCAL YEAR END

Normally, pre-approval is provided at regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee. However, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members.
