Explanation of Responses:
1. Received in exchange for 2,987,504 shares of Boulder Total Return Fund, Inc. (BTF) common stock, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between the Issuer, BTF and affiliated funds (the Merger).
2. On March 20, 2015, the effective date of the Merger, Shares of BTF were exchanged for shares of Issuer at a conversion rate of 3.121182 Shares of Issuers common stock (net asset value $10.73 per share) for each share of BTFs common stock (net asset value $33.50 per share).
3. The trustees of the Ernest Horejsi Trust No. 1B (the "Ernest Trust") are Alaska Trust Company ("Alaska Trust"), Susan L. Ciciora and Larry Dunlap. Such trustees may be deemed to control the Ernest Trust and may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares held by the Ernest Trust. However, none of the trustees, acting alone, can vote or exercise dispositive authority over Shares held by the Ernest Trust. Accordingly, Alaska Trust, Ms. Ciciora and Mr. Dunlap disclaim beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Ernest Trust. In addition to serving as a trustee, Ms. Ciciora is also a beneficiary of the Ernest Trust. As a result of his advisory role with the Ernest Trust, Stewart R. Horejsi may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares directly beneficially owned by the Ernest Trust. However, Mr. Horejsi disclaims such beneficial ownership of the Shares directly beneficially held by the Ernest Trust.
4. Trusts, persons and entities affiliated with the reporting person(s), including Evergreen Atlantic, LLC, Lola Brown Trust No. 1B, Ernest Horejsi Trust No. 1B, Mildred B. Horejsi Trust, Stewart West Indies Trust, Stewart R. Horejsi Trust and the Susan L. Ciciora Trust, will own an aggregate of 45,444,848 Shares of the Issuer after the reorganization of the Issuer on March 20, 2015.
Douglas J. Blattmachr, President, Alaska Trust Company, trustee of the Ernest Horejsi Trust No. 1B 03/24/2015
