Based on the preliminary results shown above, because the Tender Offer was oversubscribed for each Fund, the relative number of Shares that will be purchased from each shareholder is expected to be prorated based on the number of Shares properly tendered for the Fund. The purchase price of properly tendered and accepted Shares for each Fund will be 98% of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on May 21, 2025, the business day immediately following the expiration date of the Tender Offer. The above-indicated results are based on preliminary information, are subject to adjustment and should not be regarded as final. Each Fund expects to announce the final results of its Tender Offer, including the pro-ration factor, if applicable, on or about May 21, 2025.
