TABLE OF FEES AND EXPENSES

 

 

The following tables are intended to assist you in understanding the various costs and expenses directly or indirectly associated with investing in our common shares as a percentage of net assets attributable to common shares. Amounts are for the current fiscal year after giving effect to anticipated net proceeds of the offering, assuming that we incur the estimated offering expenses.

 

Shareholder Transaction Expenses

  

Sales Load (as a percentage of offering price)

       %

Offering Expenses Borne by the Fund (as a percentage of offering price)

       %

Dividend Reinvestment Plan Fees

   None(1)


    

Percentage of Net
Assets Attributable
to Common Shares

Annual Expenses

  

Management Fees

   %(2)

Interest on Borrowed Funds

             

Other Expenses

   %(3)

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses

   %(2)

 

(1)

Shareholders participating in the Fund’s Reinvestment Plan do not incur any additional fees. See “Reinvestment Plan.”

(2)

The Advisor ‘s fee is a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily managed assets. Consequently, since the Fund has borrowings outstanding, the investment management fees and other expenses as a percentage of net assets attributable to common shares are higher than if the Fund did not utilize a leveraged capital structure.

(3)

“Other Expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current year assuming completion of the proposed issuances.

EXAMPLE

The following example illustrates the expenses (including the maximum estimated sales load of $     and estimated offering expenses of $     from the issuance of $     million in common shares) you would pay on a $1,000 investment in common shares, assuming a 5% annual portfolio total return.* The actual amounts in connection with any offering will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement if applicable.

Total Expenses Incurred

           

 

*

The example should not be considered a representation of future expenses. The example assumes that the amounts set forth in the Annual Expenses table are accurate and that all distributions are reinvested at net asset value. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those assumed. Moreover, the Fund’s actual rate of return may be greater or less than the hypothetical 5% return shown in the example.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

 

The Fund estimates the net proceeds of the Offer to be $                , based on the Subscription Price per share of $                , assuming all new shares of Common Shares offered are sold and that the expenses related to the Offer estimated at approximately $                 are paid and after deduction of the underwriting discounts and commissions. Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the Fund will invest the net proceeds of any offering in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and may use a portion of such proceeds, depending on market conditions, for other general corporate purposes. The Advisor anticipates that the investment of the proceeds will be made in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies as appropriate investment opportunities are identified, which is expected to substantially be completed within three months; however, changes in market conditions could result in the Fund’s anticipated investment period extending to as long as six months. See “Investment Objectives and Policies.” Pending such investment, the proceeds of the offering will be held in high quality short term debt securities and instruments.

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS AND RISKS OF THE RIGHTS

 

 

DILUTION RISK

As a result of this Offer, it is anticipated that even if you fully exercise your Rights, you should expect to incur immediate economic dilution and, if you do not exercise all of your Rights, you will incur voting dilution. Further, both the sales load and the expenses associated with the Offer paid by the Fund will immediately reduce the NAV of each Common Shareholder’s Common Shares. To the extent that the number of Common Shares outstanding after the Offer will have increased proportionately more than the increase in the size of the Fund’s net assets, you will, at the completion of the Offer, experience immediate dilution of NAV. The percentage increase in Common Shares outstanding that will occur if all the Rights are exercised is     %. In addition, if the Subscription Price for the Offer is less than the Fund’s NAV per Common Share as of the Expiration Date, you would experience additional immediate dilution of NAV as a result of the Offer. If the Subscription Price is substantially less than the current NAV per Common Share at the expiration of the Offer, such dilution could be substantial. It is anticipated that the existing Common Shareholders will experience immediate dilution even if they fully exercise their Rights. In addition, whether or not you exercise your Rights, you will experience a dilution of NAV of the Common Shares because you will indirectly bear the expenses of this Offer,


which include, among other items, SEC registration fees, printing expenses and the fees assessed by service providers (including the cost of the Fund’s counsel and independent registered public accounting firm). This dilution of NAV will disproportionately affect Common Shareholders who do not exercise their Rights. The Fund cannot state precisely the amount of any decrease because it is not known at this time how many Common Shares will be subscribed for or what the NAV or market price of the Fund’s Common Shares will be on the Expiration Date or what the Subscription Price will be. For example, based on the Fund’s NAV and market price of the Common Shares on     , 2020 and on each of the four (4) preceding trading days, the Subscription Price would be less than NAV and there would be dilution. Assuming full exercise of the Rights being offered at the Subscription Price and assuming that the Expiration Date was     , 2020, it is estimated that the per Common Share dilution resulting from the Offer would be $     per Common Share or     %.

In addition to the economic dilution described above, if you do not exercise all of your Rights, you will incur voting dilution as a result of this Offer. This voting dilution will occur because you will own a smaller proportionate interest in the Fund after the Offer than you owned prior to the Offer.

The fact that the Rights are transferable may reduce the effects of dilution as a result of the Offer. Rights holders can transfer or sell their Rights. The cash received from the sale of Rights may be viewed as partial compensation for any possible dilution. There can be no assurances, however, that a market for the Rights will develop or that the Rights will have any value in that market.

[The Fund’s largest shareholders could increase their percentage ownership in the Fund through the exercise of the Primary Subscription and Over-Subscription Privilege.]

RIGHTS OFFERING

 

 

This rights offering will be made in accordance with the 1940 Act. Under the laws of Maryland, the Board is authorized to approve rights offerings without obtaining shareholder approval. The staff of the SEC has interpreted the 1940 Act as not requiring shareholder approval of a transferable rights offering to purchase common stock at a price below the then current net asset value so long as certain conditions are met, including: (i) a good faith determination by a fund’s Board that such offering would result in a net benefit to existing shareholders; (ii) the offering fully protects shareholders’ preemptive rights and does not discriminate among shareholders (except for the possible effect of not offering fractional rights); (iii) management uses its best efforts to ensure an adequate trading market in the rights for use by shareholders who do not exercise such rights; and (iv) the ratio of a transferable rights offering does not exceed one new share for each three rights held.
