Management of the Fund
The following paragraphs are hereby added under the heading “Management of the Fund—Expenses.”
Operating Expense Limitation. The Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Advisor have entered into a letter agreement, which is effective as of November 4, 2024 (the “Operating Expense Limitation Agreement”), pursuant to which the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser have agreed to waive a portion of their advisory or sub-advisory fees, as applicable, or reimburse the Fund for certain operating expenses so that the annual operating expenses of the Fund (exclusive of any Excluded Expenses (as defined below) do not exceed 0.68% of the Fund’s Managed Assets (the “Operating Expense Limitation”). For purposes of the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement, “Excluded Expenses” are (i) investment advisory fees, (ii) investor support and secondary market services fees, (iii) taxes, (iv) expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of an investment in a permitted investment (including, without limitation, acquired fund fees and expenses), (v) expenses associated with the acquisition or disposition of portfolio investments (including, without limitation, brokerage commissions and other trading or transaction expenses), (vi) leverage expenses (including, without limitation, costs associated with the issuance or incurrence of leverage, commitment fees, interest expense or dividends on preferred shares), (vii) distribution and/or shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees, (viii) dividends on short sales, if any, (ix) securities lending costs, if any, (x) expenses of holding, and soliciting proxies for, meetings of shareholders of the Fund (except to the extent relating to routine items such as the election of trustees), (xi) expenses of a reorganization, restructuring, redomiciling or merger of the Fund or the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of another fund, or (xii) any extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business (including, without limitation, expenses related to litigation, derivative actions, demands related to litigation, regulatory or other government investigations and proceeding).
The Operating Expense Limitation Agreement provides that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser may recoup amounts reimbursed pursuant to the Agreement for a period not to exceed three years following the date of such waiver or reimbursement, to the extent such recoupment does not cause the Fund’s operating expenses to exceed (a) the Operating Expense Limitation in effect at the time the expense was paid or absorbed, and (b) the Operating Expense Limitation in effect at the time of such recoupment. Any recoupment shall be allocated between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser in the same proportion as the allocation of waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses being recouped. The Operating Expense Limitation Agreement shall remain in effect according to its terms until March 31, 2026, unless sooner terminated with the written consent of the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The agreement will terminate automatically upon the termination of the Advisory Agreement or the Sub-Advisory Agreement unless a new Advisory Agreement with the Adviser (or an affiliate of the Adviser) or a new Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Sub-Adviser (or an affiliate of the Sub-Adviser), as applicable, to replace the terminated agreement becomes effective upon such termination.
