Managed Distribution Plan Disclosure

In December 2020, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), acting pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission exemptive order, approved a Managed Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) for Vertical Capital Income Fund (the “Fund”). Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund pays a minimum monthly distribution to shareholders at a stated annual rate as a percentage of the three-month average net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund’s shares prior to the month of distribution. The distribution is calculated as 8% of the previous three-month average NAV, divided by 12. Payment of monthly distributions under the Fund’s Plan commenced in January 2021.

The Plan is subject to periodic review by the Board, and the Board may amend the terms of the Plan including amending the annual rate of payment or may terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to the Fund’s shareholders. The Fund’s distribution rate may be affected by numerous factors, including changes in realized and projected market returns, Fund performance, and other factors. There can be no assurance that an unanticipated change in market conditions or other unforeseen factors will not result in a change in the Fund’s distribution rate at a future time. If the Fund resumes offering its shares to the public, it would likely discontinue the Plan or reduce the distribution rate under the Plan. The Fund does not believe there are any other reasonably foreseeable circumstances that would cause the termination of the Plan. The amendment or termination of the Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares.

You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Fund’s Managed Distribution Plan.

April 30, 2023 

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to report to you the results of another six-month period for the Vertical Capital Income Fund (the “Fund”). As previously announced in December 2020, the Fund made a pivotal change in the distribution policy by implementing a Managed Distribution Plan (the “Plan”). Consistent with the Plan and our investment objective to seek income, the Fund made monthly distributions aggregating approximately $0.41 per share for the six-month period ended March 31, 2023. In alignment with the Plan’s policy, the Fund will pay net capital gains realized on loan sales and loan payoffs included in the monthly distributions.

The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV)” per share was $10.39 at the September 30, 2022 and $10.15 per share at March 31, 2023. In comparison, the Fund’s traded share price was $8.92 at September 30, 2022 and $9.81 at March 31, 2023, reflecting discounts to NAV of 14% and 3%.

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2023 the Fund produced a total return, based on its traded share price, of 14.94% compared to one of its key benchmarks, the Bloomberg U.S. Mortgage Backed Securities Index, which reported a total return of 4.72%. (Please see the definition of the index that accompanies the performance table that immediately follows this letter.) The SEC Yield per share as of March 31, 2023 was 1.97%. In comparison the Fund produced a total return based on its NAV per share for the same six-month period of 1.70%. Since inception, the Fund has produced an annualized total return of 5.85% based on its NAV.

Update on Economic Outlook

The forecast is for a recession in the first half of 2023, which will result in the unemployment rate increasing from 3.7% as of November 2022 to 5.5% by the end of 2023. According to the Mortgage Banker Association, The Federal Reserve will continue to increase short-term rates in an effort to fight inflation. Signs point to early 2024 before inflation reaches the 2% target.

Although short-term rates could continue to increase, long-term rates may have already peaked. The recent decline is reflecting in the mortgage market, as well as increased signs that the US is headed for a recession. It is expected that 30-year mortgage rates will be at 5.2% at the end of the year. Housing and mortgage markets benefit from both a strong economy, which supports growing household incomes, and also lower inflation, which translates to lower mortgage rates.

Updated forecasts show mortgage origination volume dropping about 15% in 2023 compared to 2022 to about $1.9 trillion. This is due mostly to low application activity even though mortgage rates have been dropping. The more recent purchase originations forecasts is for $1.45 and for $449 billion in refinances for 2023.

Mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures still remain low, though they are expected to increase next year as the unemployment rate are set to rise.

In contrast to the last update, job market is predicted to weaken significantly over the coming months. Job growth slowed in 2022, the number of job openings has decreased by over a million, and the number of layoffs continue to increased, particularly in the tech sector. While the unemployment rate remains low, it is likely to not be sustainable over time. The peak unemployment rate of 5.5% that is expected at the end of 2023 is consistent with the characterization this a relatively mild recession. 

1

The spread of mortgage rates relative to Treasury rates has historically averaged around 180 basis points, but has averaged over 250 basis points since the spring of 2022. The high level of interest rate volatility, is contributed to the Fed’s balance sheet reduction/quantitative tightening (QT) and directly impacts these wider spreads. Higher rate volatility can then lead to increased prepayment risk, which is priced in by investors. It is expected that the Fed to begin reducing their MBS balance sheet over the next few years.

Many economists expect that the housing market will lead the US out of the mild recession in 2023. 

Fund Strategy

There is almost $16 trillion of U.S. residential mortgage debt outstanding, of which approximately $11 trillion is secured by one-to-four family residences. The balance is represented by mortgage debt on multi-family, non-farm/non-residential and farm properties. The Fund invests as a secondary market participant in the one-to-four family residential whole loan market. This market historically boasts a deep roster of institutional participants, along with a diverse universe of sellers and reasons for sale. As such, we are comfortable that we will continue to see an adequate supply of investment opportunities. The Fund generates monthly cash distributions from interest income earned on the Fund’s loan portfolio, net of the costs to operate. Costs include fees paid to third parties for loan servicing and custodial, valuation, audit and legal services, as well as fees to the advisor to manage the Fund. As noted above, the Fund made aggregated distributions for the six-month period of approximately $0.41 per share.

The Fund also generates capital gains when it sells loans at a price that is excess of its adjusted cost basis or when loans originally purchased at a discount to their unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) pay off in full before maturity of the loan. Asset sales and loan payoffs can occur anytime throughout the year. Although it did not do so in December of 2022, the Fund has historically made a single distribution in December of each year in order to fully account for all net long-term and short-term capital gains and losses during its taxable period. Most of these distributions have been subject to lower long-term capital gain tax rates; thereby, potentially increasing the after-tax yield to our shareholders. Going forward the Fund will continue to pay net realized capital gains in the monthly distributions.

The Fund meets its investment objective primarily by investing in mortgage notes secured by first liens on residential real estate. The Fund only invests in “whole loans” and does not invest in tranches of RMBS. Investing as a first mortgage lender in whole loans allows the Fund to deal directly with any borrower who is delinquent, in default or needs to restructure their loan for any reason. The Fund can decide on a case by case basis how best to work with the borrower to secure repayment of all amounts due the Fund, which is not always the case in RMBS. This direct interaction has been a significant benefit over the years when the Fund has had to grapple with borrowers affected by crises, such as COVID-19, hurricanes, floods or fires.

The Fund pursues investment opportunities in many types of residential mortgage whole loans. Some known as “Scratch and Dent” are “conforming” loans with typical original terms of 25 or 30 years that would have otherwise qualified for purchase by one of the Government Sponsored Enterprises (“GSEs”), like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, but were rejected for technical defects in the application or documentation process. Others are non-qualified loans (“Non QM”), which do not meet the criteria for purchase or origination by a GSE. In addition, there are “Fix and Flip” loans, which typically have 12-24 month terms and “Rental and Bridge” loans which typically have 24-60 month terms. Loans can be performing, re-performing (loans that were non-performing at one point and have now become performing), long-term, short-term, fixed rate or adjustable.

As always, we appreciate the continued support of our shareholders.

Regards, 

Katherine L. Hawkins

Portfolio Manager

PORTFOLIO REVIEW (Unaudited) 

March 31, 2023

The Fund’s performance figures for the period ended March 31, 2023, compared to its benchmark:

	Six Months	One Year	Five Years	Ten Years	Since Inception*
Vertical Capital Income Fund-NAV	1.70%	0.30%	2.78%	5.58%	5.85%
Vertical Capital Income Fund-Market Price **	14.94%	7.32%	2.53%	5.50%	5.75%
Bloomberg Mortgage Backed Securities Index	4.72%	(4.85)%	0.20%	1.00%	1.11%

* The Fund commenced operations on December 30, 2011. The performance of the Fund is based on average annual returns for periods greater than one year.

** The calculation is made using the NAV until the initial Market Price on May 30, 2019.

The Bloomberg Mortgage Backed Securities Index is an unmanaged index composed of securities backed by U.S. government agency guaranteed mortgage pools of Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark. The mortgage notes held by the Fund are not guaranteed by any U.S. government agency.

Past performance is not predictive of future results. The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate. An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Total returns would have been lower had the Adviser not waived its fees and reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses.

On January 12, 2023, the Fund entered into a transaction agreement with an affiliate of global investment firm Carlyle, whereby upon obtaining approval by the Fund’s shareholders Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management L.L.C. (“CGCIM”) will become the investment adviser to the Fund (the “Transaction”). In addition, the Fund’s investment mandate will change to focus on investing in equity and debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) in order to drive potential shareholder value. Under the terms of the transaction agreement, if shareholders approve a new investment advisory agreement with CGCIM and the other closing conditions are satisfied, at the closing of the Transaction, CGCIM or an affiliate will make a special one-time payment to the Fund’s shareholders of $10,000,000, or approximately $0.96 per share. In addition, CGCIM or an affiliate will make a $40,000,000 equity commitment to shareholders and/or the Fund in multiple transactions, including (1) the purchase of up to approximately $25,000,000 through a tender offer and (2) an investment of approximately $15,000,000 in newly issued shares and private share purchases. All transactions are expected to occur at prices that are equal to (or greater than) the Fund’s then-current net asset value per-share. As a result of these transactions and assuming the tender offer is fully subscribed, Carlyle is expected to own approximately 40% of the Fund.

The Transaction requires shareholder approval of the following proposals:

(1) To approve the election of five new trustees: Mark Garbin, Sanjeev Handa, Joan McCabe, Brian Marcus, and Lauren Basmadjian.

(2) To approve the New Advisory Agreement.

(3) To approve a change in the Fund’s classification from a diversified investment company to a non-diversified investment company.

(4) To approve a change in the Fund’s industry concentration policy from concentrated in the mortgage-related industry to non-concentrated.

(5) To approve a change to the Fund’s Declaration of Trust that would increase the shareholder approval threshold in a contested Trustee election to a majority of shares outstanding.

(6) To approve a change to the Fund’s Declaration of Trust to require shareholders representing at least 10% of shares to join in a derivative action when the demand on the Board is not excused.

(7) To approve a change to the Fund’s Declaration of Trust to add a Delaware state court exclusive jurisdiction clause.

(8) To approve a change to the Fund’s Declaration of Trust stating that the Fund may only be dissolved upon approval of at least 80% of the Trustees.

(9) To approve the change to the Fund’s Declaration of Trust requiring a 75% shareholder approval threshold to approve mergers or similar transactions with Principal Shareholders.

(10) To approve a change to the Fund’s Declaration of Trust that would increase the shareholder approval thresholds for certain changes to the Declaration of Trust, including any changes that would reduce the amount payable upon liquidation of the Fund or diminish or eliminate any voting rights.

(11) To approve of all other changes to the Fund’s Declaration of Trust not addressed in Proposals 5-10.

(12) To approve Amended and Restated By-Laws for the Fund.

In addition, closing of the Transaction is conditioned upon the Fund selling existing investments with a gross asset value equal to at least 95% of the total gross assets, subject to certain exclusions, as well as certain other customary closing conditions, which may be waived by one or both parties as provided in the transaction agreement.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies and reporting policies used in preparing the financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund amortizes premiums and discounts using the effective interest rate method. Offering expenses are amortized over 12 months following the time they are incurred.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Security Valuation

Mortgage Notes – The Fund uses an independent third-party pricing service, approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the Fund’s Advisor as the Board’s valuation designee, to value its Mortgage Notes on a monthly basis. The third-party pricing servicer uses a cash flow forecast and valuation model that focuses on forecasting the frequency, timing and severity of mortgage loss behavior. The model incorporates numerous observable loan-level factors such as unpaid principal balance, remaining term of the loan and coupon rate as well as macroeconomic data including yield curves, spreads to the Treasury curves and home price indexes. The model also includes a number of unobservable factors and assumptions (such as voluntary and involuntary prepayment speeds, delinquency rates, foreclosure timing, and others) to determine a fair value. While the model requires a minimum set of data to develop a reasonable fair value, the model is capable of accepting additional data elements. The model makes certain assumptions unless a specific data element is included, in which case it uses the additional data. Not all assumptions have equal weighting in the model. Using assumptions in this manner is a part of the Fund’s valuation policy and procedures and provides consistency in the application of valuation assumptions. The third-party pricing servicer also benchmarks its pricing model against observable pricing levels being quoted by a range of market participants active in the purchase and sale of Mortgage Notes. The combination of loan level criteria and market adjustments produces a monthly price for each Mortgage Note relative to current public market conditions.

Prior to purchase, each Mortgage Note goes through a due diligence process that includes considerations such as underwriting borrower credit, employment history, property valuation, and delinquency history with an overall emphasis on repayment of the Mortgage Notes. The purchase price of the Mortgage Notes reflects the overall risk relative to the findings of this due diligence process.

The Fund invests primarily in Mortgage Notes secured by residential real estate. The market or liquidation value of each type of residential real estate collateral may be adversely affected by numerous factors, including rising interest rates; changes in the national, state and local economic climate and real estate conditions; perceptions of prospective buyers of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the properties; maintenance and insurance costs; changes in real estate taxes and other expenses; adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies; adverse changes in zoning laws; natural disasters and other factors beyond the control of the borrowers.

The Fund’s investments in Mortgage Notes are subject to liquidity risk because there is a limited secondary market for Mortgage Notes. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations. Securities for which current market quotations are not readily available, such as the Mortgage Notes the Fund invests in, or for which quotations are not deemed to be representative of market values are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor in accordance with the Advisor’s Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”). The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security.

The valuation inputs and subsequent outputs are reviewed and maintained on a monthly basis. Any calibrations or adjustments to the model that may be necessary are done on an as-needed basis to facilitate fair pricing. Financial markets are monitored relative to the interest rate environment. If other available market data indicates that the pricing data from the third-party service is materially inaccurate, or pricing data is unavailable, the Advisor undertakes a review of other available prices and takes additional steps to determine fair value. In all cases, the Board reviews at least annually its understanding of methodology and assumptions underlying the fair value used through a report from the Advisor.

The Fund follows guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, where fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the market participants at the measurement date. The Advisor utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. The sale price could be different than its fair value determined under ASC 820. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical and/or similar assets and liabilities that the Advisor has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for similar investments or identical investments in an active market, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Advisor’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

As of March 31, 2023, management estimated that the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, line of credit payable, payables for securities purchased, accrued advisory fees, related party payables, and accrued and other liabilities were at amounts that reasonably approximated their fair value based on their short-term maturities.

A change to the unobservable input may result in a significant change to the value of the investment as follows:

Security Transactions and
Investment Income -	Impact to Value if	Impact to Value if
Investment Security	Input Increases	Input Decreases
Constant Prepayment Rate	Increase	Decrease
Delinquency	Decrease	Increase
Loan to Value	Decrease	Increase
Discount rate	Decrease	Increase

Cash – Cash includes cash and overnight investments in interest-bearing demand deposits with a financial institution with maturities of three months or less. The Fund maintains deposits with a high quality financial institution in an amount that is in excess of federally insured limits.

Security Transactions and Investment Income – Mortgage Notes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method.

Interest Income on Non-Accrual Loans – The Fund discontinues the accrual of interest on loans when, in the opinion of management, there is an assessment that the borrower will likely be unable to meet all contractual payments as they become due.

Credit Facility – On July 21, 2021, the Fund entered into an amended and restated revolving line of credit agreement with Nexbank for investment purposes and to help maintain the Fund’s liquidity, subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act for borrowings. The maximum amount of borrowing allowed under the amended and restated agreement was the lesser of $35 million or 75% of the eligible portion of the Fund’s loans. Borrowings under the amended and restated Nexbank agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus applicable margin of 0.5%, per annum, on the outstanding principal balance. The Nexbank agreement matures on July 18, 2023 and has an one-year extension available. The Nexbank agreement is secured by assets of the Fund.

Accumulated amortization of deferred financing fees was $26,179 during the six months ending March 31, 2023. The average amount of borrowing outstanding for the period was $5,785,714 and the total interest expense was $232,767. The outstanding balance under the NexBank line of credit was $3,500,000 at March 31, 2023.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute all of its taxable income, if any, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Fund’s September 30, 2020 – September 30, 2022 tax returns or expected to be taken in the Fund’s September 30, 2023 tax returns. The Fund identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments; however, the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Fund accounts for interest and penalties for any uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalty expense was recorded during the six months ended March 31, 2023.

Distributions to Shareholders – Distributions from investment income and capital gains, if any, are declared and paid monthly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Board’s decision to declare distributions will be influenced by its obligation to ensure that the Fund maintains its federal tax status as a Registered Investment Company (“RIC”). In order to qualify as a RIC, the Fund must derive a minimum of 90% of its income from capital gains, interest or dividends earned on investments and must distribute a minimum of 90% of its net investment income in the form of interest, dividends or capital gains to its shareholders. Otherwise, the Fund may be subject to an excise tax from the Internal Revenue Service.

The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require classification.

Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, management of the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

3. INVESTMENT IN RESTRICTED SECURITIES

The Fund may invest in Restricted Securities (those which cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered under the Securities Act of 1933) that are consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and investment strategies. Investments in Restricted Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Fund would typically have no rights to compel the obligor or issuer of a Restricted Security to register such a Restricted Security under the 1933 Act. No such securities were owned by the Fund at March 31, 2023.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The business activities of the Fund are overseen by the Board, which is responsible for the overall management of the Fund.

Advisory Fees –Pursuant to an Advisory Agreement with the Fund, the Advisor, under the oversight of the Board, directs certain of the daily operations of the Fund and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Advisor, the Fund pays the adviser a management fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2023 the Advisor earned advisory fees of $660,306.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or part of its management fees and/or make payments to limit Fund expenses (exclusive of any taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, expenses of investing in underlying funds, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation and Advisor transition expenses) so that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund do not exceed 2.50% of the average daily net assets through September 30, 2023. Waivers and expense reimbursements may be recouped by the Advisor from the Fund within three years of when the amounts were waived only if the Fund expenses are lower than both the lesser of the current expense cap and the expense cap in place at the time of waiver. For the six months ended March 31, 2023, the Advisor waived advisory fees of $188,673. Expenses subject

to recapture by the Advisor amounted to $847,207 of which $428,908 that will expire on September 30, 2023, and $203,867 that will expire on September 30, 2024, and $214,432 that will expire on September 30, 2025.

In addition, certain affiliates provide services to the Fund as follows:

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”) – UFS provides administration and fund accounting services to the Fund. Pursuant to a separate servicing agreement with UFS, the Fund pays UFS customary fees for providing administration and fund accounting services to the Fund. Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of UFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Fund for serving in such capacities. For the six months ended March 31, 2023 UFS earned $88,719.

Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“NLCS”) – NLCS, an affiliate of UFS, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Fund. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives customary fees from the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2023 NLCS earned $27,683.

Blu Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”) – Blu Giant, an affiliate of UFS, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Fund on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, Blu Giant receives customary fees from the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2023 Blu Giant earned $11,191.

Trustees – The Fund pays each Trustee who is not affiliated with the Fund or Advisor a quarterly fee of $5,000 and the lead unaffiliated Trustee a quarterly fee of $10,000. Additionally, each unaffiliated Trustee receives $2,500 per meeting as well as reimbursement for any reasonable expenses incurred attending meetings. The “interested persons” who serve as Trustees of the Fund receive no compensation for their services as Trustees. None of the executive officers receive compensation from the Fund.

5. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and paydowns of mortgage notes, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term investments, for the six months ended March 31, 2023 amounted to $520,506 and $8,378,718, respectively.

6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities represents cost for financial reporting purposes. Aggregate cost for federal tax purposes is $102,901,351 and differs from fair value by net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities as follows:

Unrealized Appreciation	$	4,591,969
Unrealized Depreciation		(4,392,220	)
Tax Net Unrealized Appreciation		199,749

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 was as follows:

	Fiscal Year Ended

The difference between book basis and tax basis accumulated net realized losses and unrealized appreciation from investments is primarily attributable to tax adjustment for securities with significant debt modifications.

Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund incurred and elected to defer such late year losses of $624,328.

Capital losses incurred after October 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund incurred and elected to defer such capital losses of $96,242.

7. MARKET RISK AND CORONAVIRUS

Unexpected local, regional or global events, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues; and recessions and depressions could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and may impair market liquidity. Such events can cause investor fear, which can adversely affect the economies of nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness known as COVID-19, which is caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread globally. This coronavirus has resulted in, among other things, travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, significant disruptions to business operations, market closures, cancellations and restrictions, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand, and significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19 has adversely affected, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future could adversely affect, the economies of the U.S., many other nations and the entire global economy, as well as individual mortgage note borrowers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in the U.S., certain other countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Fund is required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For nonrecognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Fund is required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through May 24, 2023, which is the date of these financial statements, and determined that no events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements other than the following.

On May 22, 2023, a definitive proxy statement was filed with the SEC to solicit shareholder votes regarding the Transaction disclosed in Note 1 herein. Shareholder meetings will be held on June 15, 2023, to vote on Transaction-related matters.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)

CURRENT INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND PRINCIPAL RISKS OF THE FUND

Investment Objective and Policies

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek income. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in individual interest income-producing debt securities secured by residential real estate (i.e., mortgage loans made to individual borrowers that are represented by a note (the “security”) and a security agreement in the form of a mortgage or deed of trust). These notes are typically sold individually or in groups or packages, all of which are difficult to value. The Fund acquires loans with varying terms and structures, levels of borrower equity and credit profiles. The Fund does not limit the allocation of Fund assets in performing loans along the dimensions of terms and structures, borrower equity, and credit profiles. Up to 10% of the loans the Fund acquires may be delinquent or in default at the time of acquisition. The Fund will not purchase loans that currently are in foreclosure; however, loans acquired by the Fund may go into foreclosure subsequent to acquisition by the Fund. In addition, the Fund may invest up to approximately 10% of its assets in loans that are classified as “sub-prime” at the time of purchase by the Fund. The Fund does not invest in foreign securities.

The Fund defines the individual borrowers issuing these types of mortgage-related notes as a type of industry. Therefore, the Fund concentrates investments in the mortgage-related industry because, under normal circumstances, it invests over 25% of its assets in mortgage-related securities. This policy is fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval.

Principal Risk Factors

Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or all of your investment.

Borrower Risk. A specific security can perform differently from the market as a whole for reasons related to the borrower, such as an individual’s economic situation. Compared to investment companies that focus only on securities issued by large capitalization companies, the Fund’s net asset value may be more volatile because it invests in notes of individuals. Individuals issuing notes secured by residential real estate are more likely to suffer sudden financial reversals such as (i) job loss, (ii) depletion of savings or (iii) loss of access to refinancing opportunities. Further, compared to securities issued by large companies, notes issued by individuals are more likely to experience more significant changes in market values, be harder to sell at times and at prices that the Adviser believes appropriate, and offer greater potential for losses.

Concentration Risk. Because the Fund will invest more than 25% of its assets in the mortgage-related industry, the Fund will be subject to greater volatility risk than a fund that is not concentrated in a single industry. The Fund’s investments may be concentrated in regions or states, which exposes the Fund to region- or state-specific economic risks.

37

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued)

Credit Risk. Individual borrowers may not make scheduled interest and principal payments, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities may be lowered if a borrower’s financial condition deteriorates, which tends to increase the risk of default and decreases a note’s value. Weak or declining general economic conditions tend to increase default risk. Lower-quality notes, such as those considered “sub-prime” by the Adviser are more likely to default than those considered “prime” by the Adviser or a rating evaluation agency or service provider. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for sub-prime notes and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell these securities. The lack of a liquid market for these securities could decrease the Fund’s share price. Additionally, borrowers may seek bankruptcy protection which would delay resolution of security holder claims and may eliminate or materially reduce liquidity.

Defaulted Securities Risk. Defaulted securities lack liquidity and may have no secondary market for extended periods. Defaulted securities may have low recovery values and defaulting borrowers may seek bankruptcy protection which would delay resolution of the Fund’s claims. The Fund anticipates a significant likelihood of default by mortgage-related borrowers.

Fixed Income Risk. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities. Rising interest rates tend to increase the likelihood of borrower default.

Leverage Risk. The use of leverage by borrowing money to purchase additional securities causes the Fund to incur additional expenses and will magnify losses in the event of underperformance of the securities purchased with borrowed money. In addition, a lender to the Fund may terminate or refuse to renew any credit facility. If the Fund is unable to access additional credit, it may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, which may further depress the returns of the Fund.

Liquidity Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to liquidity risk because there is a limited secondary market for mortgage notes. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations.

Management Risk. The Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular real estate segment and securities in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results.

Market Risk. An investment in the Fund’s shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. An investment in the Fund’s shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The Fund’s borrowing costs, if any, will increase when interest rates rise. Additionally, unexpected local, regional or global events, such as war; acts of

38

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued)

terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)); and recessions and depressions could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and may impair market liquidity. Such events can cause investor fear, which can adversely affect the economies of nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen.

Prepayment Risk. Securities may be subject to prepayment risk because borrowers are typically able to prepay principal. Consequently, a security’s maturity may be longer or shorter than anticipated. When interest rates fall, obligations tend to be paid off more quickly than originally anticipated and the Fund may have to invest the prepaid proceeds in securities with lower yields. When interest rates rise, obligations will tend to be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated, preventing the Fund from reinvesting at higher yields.

Real Estate Risk. The Fund will not invest in real estate directly, but, because the Fund will invest the majority of its assets in securities secured by real estate, its portfolio will be significantly impacted by the performance of the real estate market and may experience more volatility and be exposed to greater risk than a more diversified portfolio. The value of residential real estate collateral is affected by:

(i) changes in general economic and market conditions including changes in employment;

(ii) changes in the value of real estate properties generally;

(iii) local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition;

(iv) increases in property taxes and operating expenses;

(v) changes in zoning laws;

(vi) casualty and condemnation losses including environment remediation costs;

(vii) variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of property to tenants or potential buyers;

(viii) the availability of financing;

(ix) changes in interest rates and available borrowing leverage; and

(x) natural disasters.

Servicer Risk. Because the Fund engages servicers to collect payments from borrowers, there is a risk that payments to the Fund will be delayed if a servicer fails to perform its functions or fails to perform them in a timely manner. If a servicer becomes insolvent or the Fund otherwise decides to move to a new servicer, the Fund will incur expenses in transferring servicing duties to a new servicer and borrower delinquencies would likely rise during a transition.

39

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued)

The Adviser may invest up to 10% of the Fund’s assets in notes secured by commercial real estate. The Adviser selects securities by evaluating the issuer’s credit quality and the potential liquidation value of the commercial real estate collateral securing the issuer’s debt obligation. When evaluating credit quality the Adviser uses an underwriting model that takes into account the following factors, but may also take into consideration others:

Commercial Issuers

● Issuer payment history including delinquencies and defaults

● Issuer credit report

● Security’s interest rate

● Issuer total debt service load and total fixed costs

● Tenant quality and lease roll-over

● Local market competition

● Projected vacancy rate

● Title search of property to assure clear title by issuer

When evaluating commercial real estate collateral’s potential liquidation value the Adviser uses a collateral valuation underwriting model that may take into account the following factors, but may also take into consideration others:

● Current property value as established by an independent broker’s price opinion

● State laws pertaining to mortgages in that domicile

● Local real estate trends around the respective property

● Potential environmental remediation costs at site

● Estimated foreclosure value for the property

Even though the Adviser re-evaluates each issuer’s ability to pay, it nonetheless anticipates a significant likelihood of default by issuers because of difficult-to-predict economic events. The Adviser expects to resolve or forestall defaults primarily by renegotiating note terms to lower interest and/or principal payments so that an issuer can resume payments on its note. The Adviser also may enter into an agreement with the issuer and a third party to sell the property to the third party for less than the principal balance on the note while forgiving any unpaid principal that remains after receiving the proceeds from the sale (commonly referred to as a short-sale). The Adviser may also foreclose upon the property and seek to recover via sale of the property.

There are also special risks associated with particular sectors, or real estate operations generally, as described below:

Retail Properties. Retail properties are affected by the overall health of the economy and may be adversely affected by, among other things, the growth of alternative forms of retailing, bankruptcy, departure or cessation of operations of a tenant, a shift in consumer demand due to demographic changes, changes in spending patterns and lease terminations.

Office Properties. Office properties are affected by the overall health of the economy, and other factors such as a downturn in the businesses operated by their tenants, obsolescence and non-competitiveness.

Hotel Properties. The risks of hotel properties include, among other things, the necessity of a high level of continuing capital expenditures, competition, increases in operating costs which may not be offset by increases in revenues, dependence on business and commercial travelers and tourism, increases in fuel costs and other expenses of travel, and adverse effects of general and local economic conditions. Hotel properties tend to be more sensitive to adverse economic conditions and competition than many other commercial properties.

Healthcare Properties. Healthcare properties and healthcare providers are affected by several significant factors, including federal, state and local laws governing licenses, certification, adequacy 

40

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued)

of care, pharmaceutical distribution, rates, equipment, personnel and other factors regarding operations, continued availability of revenue from government reimbursement programs and competition on a local and regional basis. The failure of any healthcare operator to comply with governmental laws and regulations may affect its ability to operate its facility or receive government reimbursements.

Multifamily Properties. The value and successful operation of a multifamily property may be affected by a number of factors such as the location of the property, the ability of the management team, the level of mortgage rates, the presence of competing properties, adverse economic conditions in the locale, oversupply and rent control laws or other laws affecting such properties.

Community Centers. Community center properties are dependent upon the successful operations and financial condition of their tenants, particularly certain of their major tenants, and could be adversely affected by bankruptcy of those tenants. In some cases a tenant may lease a significant portion of the space in one center, and the filing of bankruptcy could cause significant revenue loss. Like others in the commercial real estate industry, community centers are subject to environmental risks and interest rate risk. They also face the need to enter into new leases or renew leases on favorable terms to generate rental revenues. Community center properties could be adversely affected by changes in the local markets where their properties are located, as well as by adverse changes in national economic and market conditions.

Self-Storage Properties. The value and successful operation of a self-storage property may be affected by a number of factors, such as the ability of the management team, the location of the property, the presence of competing properties, changes in traffic patterns and effects of general and local economic conditions with respect to rental rates and occupancy levels.

Other factors may contribute to the risk of commercial real estate investments:

Development Issues. Certain commercial real estate issuers may engage in the development or construction of real estate properties. These issuers are exposed to a variety of risks inherent in real estate development and construction, such as the risk that there will be insufficient tenant demand to occupy newly developed properties, and the risk that prices of construction materials or construction labor may rise materially during the development.

Lack of Insurance. Certain commercial real estate issuers may fail to carry comprehensive liability, fire, flood, earthquake extended coverage and rental loss insurance, or insurance in place may be subject to various policy specifications, limits and deductibles. Should any type of uninsured loss occur, the portfolio company could lose its investment in, and anticipated profits and cash flows from, a number of properties and, as a result, adversely affect the Fund’s investment performance.

Dependence on Tenants. The value of commercial real estate issuers’ properties and the ability to repay their notes depend upon the ability of the tenants at their properties to generate enough income in excess of their operating expenses to make their lease payments. Changes beyond the control of commercial real estate issuers may adversely affect their tenants’ ability to make their lease payments and, in such event, would substantially reduce both their income from operations and ability to repay their notes.

Financial Leverage. Commercial real estate issuers may be highly leveraged and financial covenants may affect the ability of these issuers to operate effectively.

Environmental Issues. In connection with the ownership (direct or indirect), operation, management and development of real properties that may contain hazardous or toxic substances, a commercial real estate issuer may be considered an owner, operator or responsible party of such properties and, therefore, may be potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other costs, including governmental fines and liabilities for injuries to persons and property. The existence of any such material environmental liability could have a material adverse effect on the results of 

41

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued)

operations and cash flow of any such issuer and, as a result, the amount available to make interest or principal payments to the Fund could be reduced.

The Adviser may invest a portion of the Fund’s assets in indirect real estate loans through loan participations. Loan participations represent a percentage of an outstanding loan or package of loans. Loan participation holders typically participate on a pro-rata basis in collected interest and principal payments and are similarly exposed to a proportional risk of default. Loan participations are also subject to the default risk of the loan participation grantor, which is heightened if that entity also services the underlying loan or loans.

The Adviser may invest a portion of the Fund’s assets in second mortgage loans. These are subject to the risks of a first mortgage loan but are also highly sensitive to default. A borrower default on a second mortgage (or related first mortgage) typically results in a total loss of the Fund’s investment in the second mortgage loan.

Fundamental Policies

The Fund’s stated fundamental policies, which may only be changed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund (the shares), are listed below. Majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund means the vote, at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, duly called, (a) of 67% or more of the shares present at such meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy; or (b) of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, whichever is less. The Fund may not:

(1) Borrow money, except to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (which currently limits borrowing to no more than 33-1/3% of the value of the Fund’s total assets, including the value of the assets purchased with the proceeds of its indebtedness, if any). The Fund may borrow for investment purposes, for temporary liquidity, or to finance repurchases of its shares.

(2) Issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted by Section 18 of the 1940 Act (which currently limits the issuance of a class of senior securities that is indebtedness to no more than 33-1/3% of the value of the Fund’s total assets or, if the class of senior security is stock, to no more than 50% of the value of the Fund’s total assets).

(3) Underwrite securities of other issuers, except insofar as the Fund may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in connection with the disposition of its portfolio securities. The Fund may invest in restricted securities (those that must be registered under the Securities Act before they may be offered or sold to the public) to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.

(4) Invest more than 25% of the market value of its assets in the securities of companies, entities or issuers engaged in any one industry, except the mortgage-related industry, as defined in the Fund’s Prospectus. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its net assets in mortgage-related securities. This limitation does

42

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued)

not apply to investment in the securities of the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

(5) Purchase or sell real estate or interests in real estate. This limitation is not applicable to investments in securities that are secured by or represent interests in real estate (e.g. mortgage loans evidenced by notes or other writings defined to be a type of security). Additionally, the preceding limitation on real estate or interests in real estate does not preclude the Fund from investing in mortgage-related securities or investing in companies engaged in the real estate business or that have a significant portion of their assets in real estate (including real estate investment trusts), nor from disposing of real estate that may be acquired pursuant to a foreclosure (or equivalent procedure) upon a security interest.

(6) Purchase or sell commodities, commodity contracts, including commodity futures contracts, unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other investments, except that the Fund may invest in securities or other instruments backed by or linked to commodities, and invest in companies that are engaged in a commodities business or have a significant portion of their assets in commodities, and may invest in commodity pools and other entities that purchase and sell commodities and commodity contracts.

(7) Make loans to others, except (a) through the purchase of debt securities in accordance with its investment objectives and policies, including notes secured by real estate, which may be considered loans; (b) to the extent the entry into a repurchase agreement is deemed to be a loan; and (c) by loaning portfolio securities. Additionally, the preceding limitation on loans does not preclude the Fund from modifying note terms.

If a restriction on the Fund’s investments is adhered to at the time an investment is made, a subsequent change in the percentage of Fund assets invested in certain securities or other instruments, or change in average duration of the Fund’s investment portfolio, resulting from changes in the value of the Fund’s total assets, will not be considered a violation of the restriction; provided, however, that the asset coverage requirement applicable to borrowings shall be maintained in the manner contemplated by applicable law.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management LLC

In connection with the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Vertical Capital Income Fund (the “Fund”) held on November 18, 2022 and as continued on November 28, 2022 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the approval of an investment advisory agreement (the “Proposed Advisory Agreement”) between Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management LLC

43

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued)

(“CGCIM”) and the Fund, with respect to Vertical Capital Income Fund, subject to shareholder approval. In considering the approval of the Proposed Advisory Agreement the Board received materials specifically relating to the Proposed Advisory Agreement.

The Board reviewed and discussed the materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the approval of the Proposed Advisory Agreement. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Proposed Advisory Agreement on behalf of Vertical Capital Income Fund and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the approval of the Proposed Advisory Agreement.

The Trustees considered the following material factors during their deliberations: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by CGCIM; (2) the investment performance of a similar fund advised by CGCIM; (3) the estimated cost of services to be provided and the profits to be realized by CGCIM and its affiliates; (4) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Fund grows; and (5) whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of investors. The Trustees relied upon the advice of counsel and their own business judgment in determining the before-mentioned material factors to be considered in evaluating the Proposed Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor considered. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the approval of the Proposed Advisory Agreement.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees discussed CGCIM’s history and the proposed portfolio managers’ experience. They noted that CGCIM and its affiliates currently serve a variety of institutional investors, including privately offered pooled investment funds, insurance companies; as well as SEC registered investment companies, including a closed-end fund operating as an interval fund that has an investment strategy that allocates a portion of the interval fund’s portfolio to investments similar to those that the Fund would pursue under CGCIM’s management. The Trustees also considered the implicit shareholder endorsement suggested by CGCIM’s over $20 billion in assets under management. The Trustees reviewed the background and the significant investment experience of key members of the CGCIM team proposed to advise and service the Fund. They noted that although CGCIM does not presently manage an exchange-traded closed end fund substantially similar to the Fund, they favorably considered the varied and extensive experience of the portfolio management and compliance teams, and CGCIM’s ability to leverage the experience and expertise of its affiliates to the benefit of the Fund and shareholders. The Trustees also noted that CGCIM does manage an exchange-traded closed end fund that has elected to be treated as a business development company, which suggests familiarity with the additional regulatory burdens imposed by an exchange. 

44

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued)

The Board also reviewed materials provided including CGCIM’s Form ADV, an overview of the manner in which investment decisions are made, a summary of compliance policies, and a Code of Ethics as well as a related representation from CGCIM certifying that it has adopted a Code of Ethics containing provisions reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons, as that term is defined in Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act, from engaging in conduct prohibited by Rule 17j-1(b) and that it has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating such Code of Ethics. The Trustees discussed the investment advisory and related services to be provided to the Fund noting that CGCIM would oversee the day-to-day operations of the Fund, provide a variety of investment advisory services including investment research, execution and management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, and provide oversight and compliance support. The Trustees noted positively the significant support that CGCIM has in its affiliated entities which further strengthen the services available to the Fund and shareholders; as well as potential access to additional capital support from a parent entity should the need arise. They also considered favorably CGCIM’s multi-stage investment selection process, which includes: (i) wide ranging sourcing of possible CLO investment securities, (ii) in-depth review of the managers of the security issuing CLO entities, (iii) deep credit review on loans held by each CLO, and (iv) legal and structural review of the CLO governing documents and cash flow protocols and payment mechanics of the tranches of each CLO. The Trustees discussed CGCIM’s proposal for the ongoing management and implementation of strategy changes for the Fund and agreed that CGCIM had given thoughtful consideration to the development of a strategic and promising plan for the Fund. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that CGCIM has the potential to provide high quality advisory services to the Fund in line with the Board’s expectations.

Performance. They noted that CGCIM does not currently manage an exchange-traded fund with a strategy identical or substantially similar to that of the Fund. However, they reviewed the performance of a CGCIM-advised SEC-registered closed-end fund that operates as an interval fund. They noted favorably, that since inception to present this fund had outperformed its benchmark, composed of a blended index of a Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Index and a Leverage Loan Index. The Trustees observed that the investment strategy of the interval fund allocates a portion of the interval fund’s portfolio to investments similar to those that the Fund would pursue under CGCIM’s management and that the above-benchmark was a favorable indication of CGCIM’s investment acumen. The Trustees also gave favorable consideration to the positive performance over several years of two funds which had been advised by CGCIM. Overall, the Trustees concluded that the totality of performance reviewed suggests CGCIM has the capacity to provide favorable returns for shareholders.

Fees and Expenses. The Trustees noted that CGCIM proposed to charge an advisory fee composed of a base fee and a performance-related fee. CGCIM proposed to receive an annual fee from the Fund of 1.75% of the Fund’s month end managed assets (approximately equal to total assets), which is higher than the current advisory fee of 1.25% on average daily net assets. The Trustees concluded that paying a management

45

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued)

fee based on managed assets rather than net assets was equitable because CGCIM’s management burden is dictated by the size of managed assets. The Trustees noted that the CLO asset class requires a different investment skill set, greater resources, and is generally considered a more difficult asset class to analyze. Additionally, CGCIM may also receive performance-related fees if the Fund’s income exceeds an annual rate of 8.00%, measured on a quarterly basis of 2.00% per quarter. The Trustees concluded that a performance-related fee is reasonable because it further aligns the interests of CGCIM with those of the Fund.

The Trustees also favorably considered that CGCIM will contractually agree to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses from the date of effectiveness of the new advisory agreement such that certain Fund expenses do not exceed 2.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This expense limit will be in place for the period ending on the earlier of (a) four quarters post-closing or (b) the date on which at least 75% of the Fund’s gross assets are invested in CLO equity and debt investments. The expense limit excludes certain customary items such as interest expense and incentive fees and CGCIM will not be able to recoup any amounts waived or reimbursed under the expense limitation agreement. The Trustees also viewed favorably a secondary fee waiver agreement under which CGCIM will irrevocably waive advisory fees related to the Fund’s investment in ETFs that the Fund may hold on a temporary basis as it seeks to transition to the new CLO investment strategy. The Trustees considered a peer group of funds that follow a similar investment strategy and concluded that the base fee was within a range of reasonable fees; and that the performance fee was also within a range of reasonable fees. The Trustees also noted that peer group formulations of base fees and performance fees are not identical, but are substantially similar. As to total expenses, the Trustees considered the range of peer group expenses, but noted that total Fund expenses are not fully within CGCIM’s control and that the expense limitation agreements will tend to dampen Fund expenses to a reasonable level. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee structure was reasonable.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether CGCIM will realize economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund. The Trustees agreed that at current asset levels and in light of the proposed strategy change, meaningful economies of scale had not yet been reached. They agreed this issue should be monitored and revisited to evaluate the appropriateness of breakpoints in the advisory fee as Fund assets increase.

Profitability. The Trustees considered the projected profits by CGCIM in connection with the operation of the Fund for the first two years under the Proposed Advisory Agreement and whether the amount of profit would be a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the Fund. The Trustees considered various assumptions that CGCIM used in estimating its future profitability from managing the Fund, some of which indicated the possibility for significant asset growth as well as a favorable investment environment that would generate enough income so that CGCIM would receive performance-based fees. The Trustees noted that CGCIM expected to receive a reasonable profit as measured by percentage of revenue over both years, with an increase in the second year 

46

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued)

assuming asset growth, leverage costs, and income based on CGCIM’s proposed plans for the Fund and the new investment strategy. The Board concluded that CGCIM’s estimated level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was not excessive.

Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from CGCIM as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Proposed Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Board concluded that the proposed advisory fee structure is reasonable and that approval of the Proposed Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund.

Vertical Capital Income Fund 

Dividend Reinvestment Plan 

Unless the registered owner of shares elects to receive cash by contacting the Plan Agent, all dividends declared for the shares of the Fund will be automatically paid in the form of, or reinvested by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“AST”) (the “Plan Agent”), agent for shareholders in administering the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional shares of the Fund. If you are a registered owner of shares and elect not to participate in the Plan, you will receive all dividends or other distributions (together, a “dividend”) in cash paid by check mailed directly to you (or, if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by AST, as dividend disbursing agent. You may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all dividends in cash by sending written instructions or by contacting AST, as dividend disbursing agent, at the address set forth below. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by contacting the Plan Agent before the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend. Some brokers or other financial intermediaries through which shareholders may hold their shares, may automatically elect to receive cash on the shareholders’ behalf and may reinvest that cash in additional shares of the Fund for the respective shareholders. 

The Plan Agent will open an account for each shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such shareholder’s shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares. The shares will be acquired by the Plan Agent for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized shares from the Fund (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the open market (“open-market purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere. 

Whenever the Fund declares a dividend, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares. The shares will be acquired by the 

47

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued)

Plan Agent for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized shares from the Fund (newly issued shares) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the open market (open-market purchases”) on the NYSE or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any dividend, the closing market price plus estimated brokerage commissions per share is equal to or greater than the NAV per share, the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the Fund’s NAV per share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any dividend, the NAV per share is greater than the closing market value plus estimated brokerage commissions (i.e., the Fund’s shares are trading at a discount), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.

In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any dividend, the Plan Agent will have until the last business day before the next date on which the shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such dividend, whichever is sooner (the “last purchase date”), to invest the dividend amount in shares acquired in open-market purchases. It is contemplated that the Fund will pay monthly income dividends. If, before the Plan Agent has completed its open-market purchases, the market price per share exceeds the NAV per share, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the NAV of the shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend had been paid in newly issued shares on the dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to open-market purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open-market purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agent may cease making open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the dividend amount in newly issued shares at the NAV per share. 

The Plan Agent maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Agent on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Agent will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants. 

In the case of shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan. 

48

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued)

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with open-market purchases. The automatic reinvestment of dividends will not relieve participants of any tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. Accordingly, any taxable dividend received by a participant that is reinvested in additional shares will be subject to U.S. federal (and possibly state and local) income tax even though such participant will not receive a corresponding amount of cash with which to pay such taxes. Participants who request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $15.00 sales fee and pay a brokerage commission of $0.12 per share sold.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 6201 15^th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11219; telephone 1-866-277-8243.
