NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To Be Held on April 24, 2018Dear Shareholder:

 

A joint special meeting of shareholders of the funds listed above (each, a “Fund”) will be held at the offices of the Funds, Eleven Madison Avenue, Floor 2B, New York, New York 10010, on Thursday, August 24, 2023 at 4 p.m., Eastern Time, to vote on the proposals listed in the enclosed Joint Proxy Statement.

 

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF

CREDIT SUISSE ASSET MANAGEMENT INCOME FUNDOn June 12, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), INCCredit Suisse Group AG (“CS Group”) merged with and into UBS Group AG, a global financial services company (“UBS Group”), with UBS Group remaining as the surviving company (the “Merger”).:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN Immediately prior to the Closing Date, CS Group was the ultimate parent company of the Funds’ investment adviser, Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC (“Credit Suisse”), and sub-adviser, Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (“Credit Suisse UK” and together with Credit Suisse, the “Credit Suisse Investment Advisers”), as applicable. As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, each Fund’s investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse and the sub-advisory agreement between the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers with respect to Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund provided that the Annual Meetingagreement would automatically terminate upon its assignment. The closing of the Merger was deemed to result in an assignment of each agreement, resulting in its automatic termination as of the Closing Date. As explained in more detail in the enclosed Joint Proxy Statement, each Fund is seeking shareholder approval of a new investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund is seeking shareholder approval of a new sub-advisory agreement between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK.

No changes to the investment objective(s), principal investment strategies and policies, principal risks, fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies, or portfolio managers (collectively, “Fund-specific changes”) (other than potential personnel changes outside of Credit Suisse’s control) of your Fund are currently contemplated as a result of the Merger. It is important to note that your Fund’s advisory fee rate under its new agreement will remain the same. Also, the contractual expense limitation agreements limiting each open-end Fund’s total net expenses (which agreements permit such Funds to reimburse Credit Suisse for advisory fees waived and/or expenses previously reimbursed under certain conditions) and Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund’s voluntary advisory fee waiver will continue under these Funds’ respective new agreements. Each Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees (each, a “Board”) considered the foregoing information, among other things, in approving the new agreements.

1

It is anticipated that the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers will transition the investment advisory services that they currently provide to the Funds to one or more registered investment advisers affiliated with UBS Group (the “UBS Investment Advisers”) on or prior to June 12, 2024 (the “UBS Transition”). With respect to each Credit Suisse Investment Adviser, it is currently anticipated that the UBS Transition will be effected by: (i) merging the Credit Suisse Investment Adviser into a UBS Investment Adviser (with the UBS Investment Adviser surviving), (ii) transferring the Credit Suisse Investment Adviser’s investment advisory agreements with the Funds (and in the case of Credit Suisse UK, the sub-advisory agreement between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK with respect to Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund) to one or more UBS Investment Advisers, and/or (iii) having the Funds enter into new investment advisory agreements and, if applicable, sub-advisory agreements with one or more UBS Investment Advisers. These actions would be subject to approval by the Board of each Fund and, depending on the structure of the UBS Transition, may also require approval by Fund shareholders. In connection with, or following the completion of, the UBS Transition, it is possible that there could be Fund-specific changes. However, the exact structure and timing of the UBS Transition and Fund-specific changes (if any) related to the UBS Transition have not yet been finalized. Any Fund-specific changes would be implemented without shareholder approval to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws (except for any changes to a Fund’s fundamental investment policies, which would require shareholder approval). Shareholders of a Fund will be promptly notified of any material Fund-specific changes. Your vote to approve your Fund’s new investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse is necessary to ensure that Credit Suisse and, in the case of Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund, Credit Suisse UK, can continue to manage your Fund at least until the UBS Transition is completed within one year of the Closing Date (i.e., on or prior to June 12, 2024).

Before you vote, we encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed Joint Proxy Statement for an explanation of each of the proposals and information regarding important recent developments affecting the Funds.

Your vote on these matters is important. Even if you plan to attend and vote at the meeting, please promptly follow the enclosed instructions to submit voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet. Alternatively, you may submit voting instructions by signing and dating each proxy card and returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope. In order to ensure that shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions, please submit your proxy promptly.

If you have any questions about the proposals to be voted on, please call AST Fund Solutions, LLC at (877) 674-6273.

By Order of each Board,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FOR FUND SHAREHOLDERS

While we encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed Joint Proxy Statement, for your convenience, we have provided a brief overview of the proposals to be voted on.

Questions and Answers

Q.Why am I receiving this joint proxy statement?

A.A joint special meeting of the funds listed below (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) will be held on Thursday, August 24, 2023 at 4 p.m., Eastern Time. You have received this letter because you were a shareholder of record of one of the Funds on June 23, 2023, the record date for the meeting (the “Record Date”):

Credit Suisse Commodity Return Strategy Fund, a series of Credit Suisse Commodity Strategy Funds

Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund, a series of Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds

Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund, a series of Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds

Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund, a series of Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds

Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund, a series of Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds

Commodity Return Strategy Portfolio, a series of Credit Suisse Trust

Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Each of Credit Suisse Commodity Strategy, Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds and Credit Suisse Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Meeting”“1940 Act”), and comprises one or more series as indicated above (each such series, an “Open-End Fund”). Each of Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE American: CIK)(“CIK”) and Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund (“DHY”) is registered as a closed-end management investment company under the 1940 Act (each, a “Closed-End Fund”).

The enclosed joint proxy statement describes a proposal to approve a new investment advisory agreement between your Fund and Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC (“Credit Suisse”) (each such agreement, a “New Investment Advisory Agreement”). In addition, solely with respect to Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund (the “Strategic Income Fund”), the enclosed joint proxy statement describes a proposal to approve a new sub-advisory agreement between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (“Credit Suisse UK” and together with Credit Suisse, the “Credit Suisse Investment Advisers”) with respect to such Fund (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement” and together with the New Investment Advisory Agreements, the “New Advisory Agreements”).

Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately to approve the New Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund(s) of which they held shares on the Record Date. Only those shareholders of the Strategic Income Fund who held shares of such Fund as of the Record Date will be entitled to vote to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Shareholder approval of a Fund’s New Investment Advisory Agreement is not contingent upon shareholder approval of any other Fund’s New Investment Advisory Agreement.

Shareholder approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK with respect to the Strategic Income Fund is contingent upon shareholder approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement between the Strategic Income Fund and Credit Suisse. Therefore, if the shareholders of the Strategic Income Fund do not approve such Fund’s New Investment Advisory Agreement, then approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Strategic Income Fund will be deemed null and the Board (as defined below) of the Strategic Income Fund will then consider whether other actions, if any, are warranted.

i

Q.Who is asking for my vote?

A.The Board of Directors or Board of Trustees (each, a “Board” and collectively, the “Boards”), as applicable, of your Fund is asking you to vote at the meeting on the proposal(s) applicable to your Fund. Each Fund’s Board approved the Fund’s New Investment Advisory Agreement and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement as in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. For more information regarding the factors considered by the Boards in coming to these conclusions, please review “Proposal 1 and Proposal 2—Approval of a New Investment Advisory Agreement with Credit Suisse and, With Respect to the Strategic Income Fund Only, Approval of a New Sub-Advisory Agreement Between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK—Board Review and Approval of the New Advisory Agreements” in the enclosed Joint Proxy Statement. Each Fund’s Board also voted to submit each new agreement to be voted upon by shareholders of the applicable Fund.

Q.What am I being asked to vote “FOR” in this proxy?

A.You are being asked to vote in favor of a proposal to approve the New Investment Advisory Agreement for your Fund. In addition, if you are a shareholder of the Strategic Income Fund, you are being asked to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Q.Why am I being asked to vote on a New Advisory Agreement(s)?

A.You are being asked to approve a New Investment Advisory Agreement(s) for your Fund(s) as a result of recent events involving Credit Suisse Group AG (“CS Group”). On June 12, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), CS Group merged with and into UBS Group AG, a global financial services company (“UBS Group”), with UBS Group remaining as the surviving company (the “Merger”), pursuant to a definitive merger agreement signed on March 19, 2023. Immediately prior to the Closing Date, CS Group was the ultimate parent company of the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers.

Each Fund was party to an investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse was party to a sub-advisory agreement with Credit Suisse UK with respect to the Strategic Income Fund prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Prior Advisory Agreements”). As required by the 1940 Act, each Prior Advisory Agreement provided that the agreement would automatically terminate upon its assignment. The closing of the Merger was deemed to result in an assignment of each Prior Advisory Agreement, resulting in its automatic termination as of the Closing Date. Your Fund requires shareholder approval of its New Investment Advisory Agreement and the Strategic Income Fund requires shareholder approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Funds to continue to receive investment advisory services from Credit Suisse and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, Credit Suisse UK.

It is anticipated that the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers will transition the investment advisory services that they currently provide to the Funds to one or more registered investment advisers affiliated with UBS Group (the “UBS Investment Advisers”) on or prior to June 12, 2024 (the “UBS Transition”) in accordance with the terms of the Time-Limited Exemption (as defined below). With respect to each Credit Suisse Investment Adviser, it is currently anticipated that the UBS Transition will be effected by: (i) merging the Credit Suisse Investment Adviser into a UBS Investment Adviser (with the UBS Investment Adviser surviving), (ii) transferring Credit Suisse’s investment advisory agreements with the Funds and, in the case of Credit Suisse UK, the sub-advisory agreement between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK with respect to Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund, to one or more UBS Investment Advisers, and/or (iii) having the Funds enter into new investment advisory agreements and, if applicable, sub-advisory agreements with one or more UBS Investment Advisers. These actions would be subject to approval by the Board of each Fund and, depending on the structure of the UBS Transition, may also require approval by Fund shareholders. In connection with, or following the completion of, the UBS Transition, it is possible that there could be changes to your Fund’s investment objective(s), principal investment strategies and policies, principal risks, fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies, or portfolio managers (collectively, “Fund-specific changes”). However, the exact structure and timing of the UBS Transition and Fund-specific changes (if any) related to the UBS Transition have not yet been finalized. Any Fund-specific changes would be implemented without shareholder approval to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws (except for any changes to a Fund’s fundamental investment policies, which would require shareholder approval). Shareholders of a Fund will be promptly notified of any material Fund-specific changes. Your vote to approve your Fund’s New Investment Advisory Agreement is necessary to ensure that Credit Suisse and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, Credit Suisse UK, can continue to manage your Fund until the UBS Transition is completed prior to the expiration of the Time-Limited Exemption one year after the Closing Date (i.e., on or prior to June 12, 2024).

ii

Q:Given that the Prior Advisory Agreements terminated on the Closing Date, is there any investment advisory agreement currently in place for my Fund?

A.Yes. Prior to the Closing Date, the Board of your Fund approved an interim investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, an interim sub-advisory agreement between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK (collectively, the “Interim Advisory Agreements”). The Interim Advisory Agreements did not require shareholder approval. The Interim Advisory Agreements took effect upon the Closing Date when the Prior Advisory Agreements were deemed to have terminated, so that Credit Suisse and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, Credit Suisse UK, could continue to manage the Funds following the Closing Date.

Each Interim Advisory Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of shareholder approval of the corresponding New Advisory Agreement or 150 days following the Closing Date (i.e., November 9, 2023). Each Interim Advisory Agreement contains the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Prior Advisory Agreement except for the effective and termination dates, the termination and escrow provisions required by Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act and certain non-material changes. During the period that each Interim Advisory Agreement is in effect, Credit Suisse’s advisory fees and Credit Suisse UK’s sub-advisory fees will be held in an interest-bearing escrow account, pursuant to Rule 15a-4.

See “Proposal 1 and Proposal 2—Approval of a New Investment Advisory Agreement with Credit Suisse and, With Respect to the Strategic Income Fund Only, Approval of a New Sub-Advisory Agreement Between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK—Background—Interim Advisory Agreements” in the Joint Proxy Statement for additional information regarding the Interim Advisory Agreements.

Q.What else is happening with Credit Suisse and the Funds?

A.On June 7, 2023, the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and certain of their affiliates filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for temporary and permanent orders granting an exemption to the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and their affiliates, as well as to UBS Group and its affiliates (collectively, “UBS”), as further described below, from the prohibitions under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, in connection with a consent order and final judgment (“Consent Judgment”) filed in New Jersey Superior Court on October 24, 2022, which was entered against certain of Credit Suisse’s affiliates. Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act automatically prohibits entities that are, or whose affiliates are, subject to, among other things, certain court ordered “injunctions,” from serving or acting as investment adviser of any investment company registered under the 1940 Act or a principal underwriter for any registered open-end investment company under the 1940 Act, or serving in various other capacities in respect of registered investment companies. The Consent Judgment did not involve any of the Funds or the services that the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and their affiliates provided to the Funds. As further described in the enclosed Joint Proxy Statement, as a result of the Consent Judgment, the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers could be disqualified from providing investment advisory services to the Funds without such an exemption, even though they did not engage in the conduct underlying the Consent Judgment, due to the broad scope of Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act. Upon learning of the terms of the Consent Judgment and the potential consequences thereof under Section 9(a), Credit Suisse promptly contacted the Boards and the Staff of the Commission.

iii

The Commission granted a temporary exemption from Section 9(a) on June 7, 2023 to the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and their affiliates, as well as to UBS, effective upon the Closing Date. The Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and certain of their affiliates also applied for a permanent order, which the Commission granted on July 5, 2023. The permanent order grants: (i) a time-limited exemption from Section 9(a) to the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and certain of their affiliates (the “Time-Limited Exemption”), which enables the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers to provide investment advisory services to the Funds until June 12, 2024 (by which point such services are anticipated to be transitioned to one or more UBS Investment Advisers in the UBS Transition), and (ii) a permanent exemption from Section 9(a) to UBS (together with the Time-Limited Exemption, the “Permanent Order”).

Following the expiration of the Time-Limited Exemption, Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK will be disqualified from providing investment advisory services to the Funds. Accordingly, it is anticipated that the investment advisory services that the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers currently provide to the Funds will be transitioned to one or UBS Investment Advisers within one year of the Closing Date (i.e., on or prior to June 12, 2024) as part of the UBS Transition described above; however, the exact structure and timing of the UBS Transition have not yet been finalized.

Q.How does my Fund’s New Advisory Agreement(s) differ from my Fund’s Prior Advisory Agreement(s)?

A.Each New Advisory Agreement will be identical to the corresponding Prior Advisory Agreement, except for the dates of execution, effectiveness and termination and certain non-material changes.

Q.Will my Fund’s contractual advisory fee rates go up?

A.No. Your Fund’s contractual advisory fee rates will not change as a result of its New Advisory Agreement(s).

Q.Will any expense limitation agreements or advisory fee waivers for my Fund remain in place under the Fund’s New Advisory Agreement(s)?

A.Open-End Fund Contractual Expense Limitation Agreements. The contractual expense limitation agreements limiting each Open-End Fund’s total net expenses (which agreements permit such Funds to reimburse Credit Suisse for advisory fees waived and/or expenses previously reimbursed under certain conditions) will continue in connection with the New Investment Advisory Agreement between each Open-End Fund and Credit Suisse.

DHY Voluntary Advisory Fee Waiver. Credit Suisse is not proposing to remove or reduce the voluntary advisory fee waiver for DHY in connection with DHY’s New Investment Advisory Agreement. However, such waiver is voluntary and may be discontinued by Credit Suisse at any time.

See “Proposal 1 and Proposal 2—Approval of a New Investment Advisory Agreement with Credit Suisse and, With Respect to the Strategic Income Fund Only, Approval of a New Sub-Advisory Agreement Between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK—Board Review and Approval of the New Advisory Agreements—Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Expenses” in the Joint Proxy Statement for additional information regarding the terms of the Open-End Funds’ contractual expense limitation agreements and DHY’s voluntary advisory fee waiver.

Q.Will the New Advisory Agreements result in any changes in the investment objective(s), principal investment strategies or portfolio managers of my Fund?

A.No changes to the investment objective(s), principal investment strategies and policies, principal risks, fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies, or portfolio managers (previously defined as “Fund-specific changes”) (other than potential personnel changes outside of Credit Suisse’s control) of your Fund are currently contemplated as a result of the Merger.

iv

Subject to shareholder approval of the New Advisory Agreements, Credit Suisse and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, Credit Suisse UK, will manage the Funds until the UBS Transition is completed (i.e., on or prior to June 12, 2024). However, in connection with, or following the completion of, the UBS Transition, it is possible that there could be Fund-specific changes. The exact structure and timing of the UBS Transition and Fund-specific changes (if any) related to the UBS Transition have not yet been finalized. Any Fund-specific changes would be implemented without shareholder approval to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws (except for any changes to a Fund’s fundamental investment policies, which would require shareholder approval). Shareholders of a Fund will be promptly notified of any material Fund-specific changes.

Q.What happens if my Fund’s New Advisory Agreement(s) is not approved?

A.If shareholders of your Fund do not approve the New Advisory Agreement(s) for your Fund, Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK, as applicable, will not be able to provide investment advisory services to your Fund after the expiration of the 150-day period following the Closing Date (which will occur on November 9, 2023), and your Fund may be forced to liquidate.

Your vote to approve your Fund’s New Advisory Agreement(s) is necessary to ensure that Credit Suisse and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, Credit Suisse UK, can continue to manage your Fund until the UBS Transition is completed within one year of the Closing Date (i.e., June 12, 2024).

Q.Will there be any changes to my Fund’s custodian or other service providers as a result of the Merger?

A.No changes are being proposed to any Fund’s custodian, administrator or co-administrator, distributor and transfer agent, as applicable, or the fees currently charged to the Funds by such service providers at this time. Accordingly, the Merger is not expected to establish a new fee or expense payable to a Fund service provider or increase any existing fee or expense to be paid by a Fund or its shareholders to a Fund service provider.

However, it is expected that, subject to Board approval, one or more service providers will change prior to the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date in connection with the UBS Transition.

Q.Is my Fund paying for this proxy solicitation?

A.No. All costs of the proxy and the shareholder meetings, including proxy solicitation costs, legal fees and the costs of printing and mailing the proxy statement, will be borne by Credit Suisse.

Q.Will my vote make a difference?

A.Yes. Your vote is needed to ensure that the proposals for your Fund can be acted upon. Your Fund’s Board encourages you to participate in the governance of your Fund.

Q.How do I vote my shares?

A.You may vote your shares in one of four ways:

This item

Each of Credit Suisse Commodity Strategy Funds, a Delaware statutory trust, Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds, a Delaware statutory trust, and Credit Suisse Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, is discusseda registered open-end management investment company and is comprised of one or more series (each such series, an “Open-End Fund”). Each of Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund, a Delaware statutory trust, is a registered closed-end management investment company (each, a “Closed-End Fund”).

As explained in greatermore detail in the attachedenclosed Joint Proxy Statement, on June 12, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Credit Suisse Group AG (“CS Group”) merged with and into UBS Group AG, a global financial services company (“UBS Group”), with UBS Group remaining as the surviving company (the “Merger”). Immediately prior to the Closing Date, CS Group was the ultimate parent company of Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC (“Credit Suisse”), the Funds’ investment adviser, Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (“Credit Suisse UK” and together with Credit Suisse, the “Credit Suisse Investment Advisers”), the Strategic Income Fund’s sub-adviser. As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, each Fund’s investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse and the sub-advisory agreement between the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers with respect to Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund provided that the agreement would automatically terminate upon its assignment. The closing of the Merger was deemed to result in an assignment of each agreement, resulting in its automatic termination as of the Closing Date. Accordingly, each Fund is seeking shareholder approval of a new investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund is seeking shareholder approval of a new sub-advisory agreement between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK.

No changes to the investment objective(s), principal investment strategies and policies, principal risks, fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies, or portfolio managers (collectively, “Fund-specific changes”) (other than potential personnel changes outside of Credit Suisse’s control) of your Fund are currently contemplated as a result of the Merger. It is important to note that your Fund’s advisory fee rate under its new agreement will remain the same. Also, the contractual expense limitation agreements limiting each open-end Fund’s total net expenses (which agreements permit such Funds to reimburse Credit Suisse for advisory fees waived and/or expenses previously reimbursed under certain conditions) and Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund’s voluntary advisory fee waiver will continue under these Funds’ respective new agreements. Each Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees (each, a “Board”) considered the foregoing information, among other things, in approving the new agreements.

It is anticipated that the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers will transition the investment advisory services that they currently provide to the Funds to one or more registered investment advisers affiliated with UBS Group (the “UBS Investment Advisers”) on or prior to June 12, 2024 (the “UBS Transition”), as described in more detail in the enclosed Joint Proxy Statement. In connection with, or following the completion of, the UBS Transition, it is possible that there could be Fund-specific changes. However, the exact structure and timing of the UBS Transition and Fund-specific changes (if any) related to the UBS Transition have not yet been finalized. Any Fund-specific changes would be implemented without shareholder approval to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws (except for any changes to a Fund’s fundamental investment policies, which would require shareholder approval). Shareholders of a Fund will be promptly notified of any material Fund-specific changes. Your vote to approve your Fund’s new investment advisory agreement is necessary to ensure that Credit Suisse and, in the case of Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund, Credit Suisse UK, can continue to manage your Fund until the UBS Transition is completed within one year of the Closing Date (i.e., on or prior to June 12, 2024).

PROPOSAL 1 AND PROPOSAL 2:

APPROVAL OF A NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH CREDIT SUISSE AND, WITH RESPECT TO THE STRATEGIC INCOME FUND ONLY, APPROVAL OF A NEW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT BETWEEN CREDIT SUISSE AND CREDIT SUISSE UK

Summary

You are being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, a new sub-advisory agreement for your Fund as a result of recent events involving Credit Suisse Group AG (“CS Group”). On June 12, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), CS Group merged with and into UBS Group AG, a global financial services company (“UBS Group”), with UBS Group remaining as the surviving company (the “Merger”), pursuant to a definitive merger agreement signed on March 19, 2023. Immediately prior to the Closing Date, CS Group was the ultimate parent company of Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK (together, the “Credit Suisse Investment Advisers”). The Merger has important ramifications for your Fund. Namely, each Fund’s Prior Advisory Agreement(s) (as defined below) was deemed to have automatically terminated under the terms of the agreement(s) and applicable law on the Closing Date. See “—Background—Prior Advisory Agreements” below for additional information.

Prior to the Closing Date, each Board met to approve each Fund’s New Advisory Agreement(s) and Interim Advisory Agreement(s) (each as defined below). The Interim Advisory Agreements, which took effect on the Closing Date, permit the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers to continue to provide investment advisory services to the Funds until the Funds obtain shareholder approval of the New Advisory Agreements, for a period of up to 150 days following the Closing Date (i.e., until November 9, 2023). As described below in more detail, the investment advisory services that the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers currently provide to the Funds will be transitioned to one or more UBS Investment Advisers (as defined below) within one year of the Closing Date (i.e., on or prior to June 12, 2024) as part of the UBS Transition (as defined below). See “—Background—Interim Advisory Agreements” and “—Background—New Advisory Agreements” below for additional information.

In addition, on June 7, 2023, the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and certain of their affiliates filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for temporary and permanent orders granting an exemption to the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and their affiliates, as well as to UBS Group and its affiliates (collectively, “UBS”), from the prohibitions under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act in connection with the Consent Judgment (as defined below) which was entered against certain of Credit Suisse’s affiliates, but did not involve any of the Funds or the services that the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and their affiliates provided to the Funds. Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act automatically prohibits entities that are, or whose affiliates are, subject to, among other things, certain court ordered “injunctions,” from serving or acting as investment adviser of any investment company registered under the 1940 Act or a principal underwriter for any registered open-end investment company under the 1940 Act, or serving in various other capacities in respect of registered investment companies. As further described below, as a result of the Consent Judgment, the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers could be disqualified from providing investment advisory services to the Funds without such an exemption, even though they did not engage in the conduct underlying the Consent Judgment, due to the broad scope of Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act. The Commission granted a temporary exemption from Section 9(a) on June 7, 2023 to the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and their affiliates, as well as to UBS, effective upon the Closing Date. The Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and certain of their affiliates also applied for a permanent order, which the Commission granted on July 5, 2023. The permanent order grants the Time Limited-Exemption (as defined below), which permits the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers to provide investment advisory services to the Funds for a period of 12 months following the Closing Date. Following the expiration of the Time-Limited Exemption, the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers will be disqualified from providing investment advisory services to the Funds. See “—Background—Time-Limited Exemption From Disqualification Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act” below for additional information.

It is important to note that, while the Funds’ investment adviser and sub-adviser, as applicable, will ultimately change within one year of the Closing Date (i.e., on or prior to June 12, 2024) as a result of the Merger and the Time-Limited Exemption, the exact timing and structure of the UBS Transition have not been finalized as of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement. Shareholder approval of Proposal 1 and Proposal 2, as applicable, is necessary for your Fund to continue to receive investment advisory services from Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK, as applicable, for the entirety of the Time-Limited Exemption during which changes to the Funds’ investment adviser and sub-adviser, as applicable, as well as any changes to the Funds’ other service providers, will be finalized as part of the UBS Transition. The investment advisory fee rates of the Funds will not change under the New Advisory Agreements, and no changes to the Funds’ investment objective(s), principal investment strategies and policies, principal risks, fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies or portfolio managers (collectively, “Fund-specific changes”) (other than potential personnel changes outside of Credit Suisse’s control) are currently contemplated as a result of the Merger.

The foregoing summary is intended to provide a brief overview of the discussion of Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 that follows and is qualified in its entirety by such discussion.

Background

Prior Advisory Agreements

The Trusts were party, on behalf of their respective Open-End Funds, to an Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, dated November 16, 2016, as further amended on May 25, 2021, with Credit Suisse (the “Prior Open-End Fund Investment Advisory Agreement”). CIK was party to an Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, dated November 15, 2016, as further amended on May 25, 2021, with Credit Suisse (the “Prior CIK Investment Advisory Agreement”). DHY was party to an Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, dated November 15, 2016, as further amended on May 25, 2021, with Credit Suisse (the “Prior DHY Investment Advisory Agreement” and collectively with the Prior Open-End Fund Investment Advisory Agreement and the Prior CIK Investment Advisory Agreement, the “Prior Investment Advisory Agreements”). Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK were party to a Sub-Advisory Agreement, dated August 14, 2012 with respect to the Strategic Income Fund (the “Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement” and together with the Prior Investment Advisory Agreements, the “Prior Advisory Agreements”). Each Prior Advisory Agreement was last approved by the respective Board, including a majority of the Directors or Trustees (collectively, the “Board Members”), as applicable, who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to such agreement (collectively, the “Independent Board Members”), at the November 2022 15(c) Meeting (as defined below). The date of each Prior Advisory Agreement’s most recent shareholder approval is set out in Appendix B.

Each Prior Advisory Agreement provided that such agreement would automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, as required by Section 15(a) of the 1940 Act. An “assignment” of an investment advisory contract includes a direct or indirect transfer of a controlling block of the investment adviser’s outstanding voting securities (sometimes referred to as a “change of control”). Because CS Group indirectly owned 100% of the outstanding voting securities of each Credit Suisse Investment Adviser, the Merger of CS Group with and into UBS Group was deemed to result in an assignment of each Prior Advisory Agreement and, therefore, the automatic termination of each Prior Advisory Agreement on the Closing Date.

Each Fund will comply with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, which provides that, when a change in control of an investment adviser occurs which results in an assignment of an investment advisory agreement with a registered fund, the investment adviser or any of its affiliated persons may receive any amount or benefit in connection with the change in control transaction as long as two conditions are met. The first condition of Section 15(f) specifies that, during the three-year period immediately following the transaction resulting in the assignment, at least 75% of the fund’s board of directors must not be “interested persons” of the new investment adviser or the predecessor investment adviser (in a change of control transaction like the Merger, the new and predecessor investment adviser are the same entity). The second condition specifies that no “unfair burden” may be imposed on the fund as a result of the transaction resulting in the assignment or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term “unfair burden,” as defined in the 1940 Act, includes any arrangement during the two-year period after the change in control transaction whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor advisers), or any “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such investment adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from, or on behalf of the fund (other than fees for bona fide principal underwriting services) or from a fund or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services).

5

Interim Advisory Agreements

Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act permits a person to act as an investment adviser to a registered investment company under an interim advisory agreement that has not been approved by the company’s shareholders for a period of 150 days following the date on which the previous agreement was deemed to terminate (in this case, the Closing Date), subject to the requirements of the rule set out below. At the May 2023 Board Meeting (as defined below), each Fund’s Board, including a majority of the Board Members who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, unanimously approved an interim investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse (each, an “Interim Investment Advisory Agreement”), and the Board of the Strategic Income Fund, including a majority of the Board Members who are not “interested persons” of the Strategic Income Fund, unanimously approved an interim sub-advisory agreement between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK with respect to such Fund (the “Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement” and together with the Interim Investment Advisory Agreements, the “Interim Advisory Agreements”), in each case in accordance with Rule 15a-4 and on the same terms and conditions as the Prior Advisory Agreements (except for certain differences required or permitted by Rule 15a-4). The Interim Advisory Agreements went into effect on the Closing Date. The Interim Advisory Agreements are not subject to shareholder approval, and you are not being asked to approve these agreements.

The Interim Advisory Agreement(s) for each Fund satisfy the following criteria required by Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act: (1) the compensation under the applicable Interim Advisory Agreement is no greater than Credit Suisse’s or Credit Suisse UK’s compensation under the respective Prior Advisory Agreement; (2) the Fund’s Board, including a majority of the Board Members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, voted in person to approve the applicable Interim Advisory Agreement prior to the termination of the respective Prior Advisory Agreement; (3) the Fund’s Board, including a majority of the Board Members who are not “interested persons” of the respective Fund, determined that the scope and quality of services to be provided to the Fund under the applicable Interim Advisory Agreement will be at least equivalent to the scope and quality of services provided under the respective Prior Advisory Agreement; (4) the applicable Interim Advisory Agreement provides that the Fund’s Board or a majority of the Fund’s shareholders may terminate the applicable Interim Advisory Agreement at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on not more than 10 calendar days’ written notice to Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK, as applicable; (5) the applicable Interim Advisory Agreement contains the same terms and conditions as the respective Prior Advisory Agreement, with the exception of the effective and termination dates, the termination and escrow provisions required by Rule 15a-4 and certain differences that the Fund’s Board, including a majority of the Board Members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund,” found to be immaterial; and (6) the applicable Interim Advisory Agreement provides that (a) the compensation earned under such agreement will be held in an interest-bearing escrow account with a bank; (b) if a majority of the Fund’s shareholders approve the Fund’s respective New Advisory Agreement by the end of the 150-day period following the Closing Date, the amount in the escrow account (including interest earned) will be paid to Credit Suisse or Credit Suisse UK, as applicable; and (c) if a majority of the Fund’s shareholders do not approve the Fund’s respective New Advisory Agreement, Credit Suisse or Credit Suisse UK, as applicable, will be paid, out of the escrow account, the lesser of (i) any costs incurred in performing the Interim Advisory Agreement (plus interest earned on that amount while in escrow), or (ii) the total amount in the escrow account (plus interest earned).

New Advisory Agreements

To ensure that Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK, as applicable, can continue to provide investment advisory services to the Funds and that each Fund’s operations continue uninterrupted until the changes to the Fund’s investment adviser(s) as part of the UBS Transition are finalized over the course of the Time-Limited Exemption, we are asking shareholders of each Fund in Proposal 1 to approve a new investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse (each, a “New Investment Advisory Agreement”) and, in Proposal 2, we are asking shareholders of the Strategic Income Fund to approve a new sub-advisory agreement between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK with respect to such Fund (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement” and together with the New Investment Advisory Agreements, the “New Advisory Agreements”).

Shareholder approval of Proposal 1 by one Fund is not contingent upon shareholder approval of Proposal 1 by any other Fund. However, Proposal 2, with respect to the Strategic Income Fund, is contingent upon shareholder approval of Proposal 1. Therefore, if the shareholders of the Strategic Income Fund do not approve Proposal 1, then Proposal 2 will be deemed null and the Board of that Fund will then consider whether other actions, if any, are warranted.

Copies of the New Investment Advisory Agreement for each of the Open-End Funds, CIK and DHY are attached in Appendix C, Appendix D and Appendix E, respectively. A copy of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to the Strategic Income Fund is attached in Appendix F.

At a meeting held on May 16, 2023 (the “May 2023 Board Meeting”), in anticipation of the closing of the Merger, each Board, including a majority of Independent Board Members, unanimously approved a New Investment Advisory Agreement between each Fund and Credit Suisse and the Board of the Strategic Income Fund unanimously approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK with respect to such Fund. Each Fund’s New Investment Advisory Agreement and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, as approved by the Board, is submitted for approval by the shareholders of the Fund and must be voted upon separately by shareholders of that Fund who held shares of the Fund as of the Record Date. If a Fund’s shareholders approve a New Advisory Agreement with respect to that Fund, it will go into effect upon approval by that Fund’s shareholders.

No changes to the Funds’ investment objective(s), principal investment strategies and policies, principal risks, fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies or portfolio managers (previously defined as “Fund-specific changes”) (other than potential personnel changes outside of Credit Suisse’s control) are currently contemplated as a result of the Merger. In addition, the composition of each Board has not changed and no changes to the members of the Board are currently contemplated as a result of the Merger. Each Board will continue to make decisions regarding Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse UK (as applicable), the custodian, the administrator, the distributor and the transfer agent of the Funds. No changes are being proposed to these existing service providers or the fees currently charged to the Funds by such service providers at this time.

Although no Fund-specific changes are currently contemplated as a result of the Merger, shareholders should note that the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers are expected to transition the investment advisory services that they currently provide to the Funds to one or more registered investment advisers affiliated with UBS Group (the “UBS Investment Advisers”) on or prior to June 12, 2024 (the “UBS Transition”). With respect to each Credit Suisse Investment Adviser, it is currently anticipated that the UBS Transition will be effected by: (i) merging the Credit Suisse Investment Adviser into a UBS Investment Adviser (with the UBS Investment Adviser surviving), (ii) transferring the Credit Suisse Investment Adviser’s investment advisory agreements with the Funds (and in the case of Credit Suisse UK, the sub-advisory agreement between Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK with respect to the Strategic Income Fund) to one or more UBS Investment Advisers, and/or (iii) having the Funds enter into new investment advisory agreements and, if applicable, sub-advisory agreements with one or more UBS Investment Advisers. These actions would be subject to approval by the Board of each Fund and, depending on the structure of the UBS Transition, may also require approval by Fund shareholders.

In connection with, or following the completion of, the UBS Transition, it is possible that there could be Fund-specific changes. In addition, subject to Board approval, the distribution services provided to the Open-End Funds by CSSU (as defined below) will be transitioned to UBS and one or more other Fund service providers may change prior to the expiration of the Time-Limited Exemption in connection with the UBS Transition. However, the exact structure and timing of the UBS Transition and Fund-specific changes (if any) related to the UBS Transition have not yet been finalized. Any Fund-specific changes would be implemented without shareholder approval to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws (except for any changes to a Fund’s fundamental investment policies, which would require shareholder approval). Shareholders of a Fund will be promptly notified of any material Fund-specific changes. Your vote to approve your Fund’s new investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse is necessary to ensure that Credit Suisse and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, Credit Suisse UK, can continue to manage your Fund at least until the UBS Transition is completed prior to the expiration of the Time-Limited Exemption one year after the Closing Date (i.e., on or prior to June 12, 2024).

Time-Limited Exemption from Disqualification Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act

In determining how to vote for the Proposals, shareholders should carefully consider the Time-Limited Exemption (as defined below) for which Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse UK and certain of their affiliates have applied to the Commission. The investment advisory services that the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers currently provide to the Funds will be transitioned to one or more UBS Investment Advisers in the UBS Transition and the distribution services that Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CSSU”) provides to the Open-End Funds will be transitioned to one or more UBS distributors on or prior to the expiration of the Time-Limited Exemption.

On December 17, 2013, the New Jersey Bureau of Securities filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Mercer County Chancery Division (the “Court”) alleging that CSSU, Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. (“FBMSC”) and DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. (“DLJ” and, together with CSSU and FBMSC, the “Settling Entities”) violated the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law in connection with the offer, sale, or purchase of residential mortgage-backed securities prior to the global financial crisis of 2008. On October 24, 2022, the Court entered a Consent Order and Final Judgment (“Consent Judgment”) negotiated and submitted by the parties. The Consent Judgment also states that “Credit Suisse shall not violate the [New Jersey] Securities Law” or the Consent Judgment or a related administrative consent order. The Credit Suisse Investment Advisers were not involved in the conduct underlying the Consent Judgment.

Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act automatically prohibits entities that are, or whose affiliates are, subject to, among other things, certain court ordered “injunctions,” from serving or acting as investment adviser of any investment company registered under the 1940 Act or a principal underwriter for any registered open-end investment company under the 1940 Act, or serving in various other capacities in respect of registered investment companies. Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK provide investment advisory services to Funds, and CSSU serves as principal underwriter to the Open-End Funds. Because Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK are affiliates of the Settling Entities, they could also be subject to disqualification under Section 9(a), despite not being involved in the conduct underlying the Consent Judgment. Upon learning of the terms of the Consent Judgment and the potential consequences thereof under Section 9(a), Credit Suisse promptly contacted the Boards and the Staff of the Commission.

On June 7, 2023, the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and the Settling Entities (collectively, the “Applicants”) submitted an application to the Commission pursuant to Section 9(c) of the 1940 Act. The Applicants applied for:

(1)a temporary order (the “Temporary Order”) granting a temporary exemption from Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act to the Applicants to serve as investment adviser to the Funds and as underwriter to the Open-End Funds (collectively, “Fund Servicing Activities”) and to any company that became an “affiliated person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of an Applicant as of the Closing Date or that becomes an “affiliated person” of an Applicant following the Closing Date (collectively, the “UBS Covered Persons”) to serve in any of the capacities referenced in Section 9(a) pending the determination of the Commission on the application for a permanent order; and

(2)a permanent order (the “Permanent Order”) that would:

(a)if granted prior to the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date, provide to the Applicants a time-limited exemption from Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act (the “Time-Limited Exemption”) for 12 months from the Closing Date to provide Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse UK and CSSU with adequate time to complete the CS Fund Servicing Reorganization (as defined below) while engaged in the Fund Servicing Activities; and

(b)provide a permanent exemption to the UBS Covered Persons from Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act so as to serve in any of the capacities referenced in that Section.

The “CS Fund Servicing Reorganization” refers to the process of (i) transitioning the Fund Servicing Activities that Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse UK and CSSU perform on behalf of one or more of the Funds to other providers of such services, and/or (ii) restructuring the Applicants’ businesses such that Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse UK and/or each other company that was an “affiliated person” of the Settling Entities as of the date of the Section 9(c) application may provide Fund Servicing Activities without being subject to disqualification under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act.

8

On June 7, 2023 (prior to the Closing Date), the Commission granted the Temporary Order. On July 5, 2023, the Commission granted the Permanent Order.

The Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and CSSU will be disqualified from engaging in Fund Servicing Activities for the Funds upon the expiration of the Time-Limited Exemption (i.e., on the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date on June 12, 2024), unless the Applicants’ businesses are restructured such that the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers are no longer affiliated persons of the Settling Entities (which is not expected to occur). As noted above, the Fund Servicing Activities provided by the Credit Suisse Investment Advisers and CSSU will be transitioned to one or more UBS Investment Advisers and one or more UBS distributors, respectively, on or prior to the expiration of the Time-Limited Exemption.

Comparison of the Prior Advisory Agreements and the New Advisory Agreements

The terms of each New Advisory Agreement are identical to the terms of the corresponding Prior Advisory Agreement, except for the dates of execution, effectiveness and termination and certain non-material changes. Each Prior Advisory Agreement had, and the corresponding New Advisory Agreement has, an initial period of two years and thereafter shall continue automatically for successive annual periods, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (a) the Board of the applicable Fund or (b) a vote of a “majority” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Independent Board Members, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

Appendix G sets out the advisory fee rate payable by each Fund under its Prior Investment Advisory Agreement and its New Investment Advisory Agreement and the sub-advisory fee rate payable by Credit Suisse to Credit Suisse UK with respect to the Strategic Income Fund under the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. Under each Fund’s New Investment Advisory Agreement, the advisory fee rates payable by the Fund will be the same as those under the Fund’s Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, and under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the sub-advisory fees payable by Credit Suisse to Credit Suisse UK will be the same as those under the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Each Prior Advisory Agreement and the corresponding New Advisory Agreement may be terminated with respect to a Fund at any time without the payment of any penalty, on 60 days’ written notice to Credit Suisse by the Board or by a vote of the majority of the respective Fund’s outstanding voting securities. Each Prior Advisory Agreement and the corresponding New Advisory Agreement may be terminated by Credit Suisse on 90 days’ written notice to the respective Fund. Each Prior Advisory Agreement and the corresponding New Advisory Agreement will also terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act).

Board Review and Approval of the New Advisory Agreements

As noted above, each Board, including a majority of the Independent Board Members of each Board, unanimously approved the New Advisory Agreement(s) at the May 2023 Board Meeting after concluding that the approval of the New Advisory Agreement(s) was in the best interests of the respective Fund(s) and its shareholders. The factors considered by each Board in considering and approving the New Advisory Agreement are set out below.

In anticipation of the closing of the Merger, and in response to a request from the Board, representatives of UBS attended the May 2023 Board Meeting and provided information regarding the UBS asset management business and the investment advisory and principal underwriting services currently provided to the UBS family of registered investment companies (the “UBS Presentation”).

9

Each Board’s evaluation of the New Advisory Agreements reflected information provided at the May 2023 Board Meeting as well as, where relevant, information relating to each Fund, Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK, that was previously furnished to the Board in connection with a special meeting held on November 9, 2022, where the Boards discussed the information and materials relating to the renewal of the Prior Advisory Agreements, and at an in person meeting held on November 14-15, 2022 (“November 2022 15(c) Meeting”), where each Board approved the renewal of the respective Prior Advisory Agreement(s) (collectively, the “November 2022 15(c) Materials”), and information provided to the Boards at other Board meetings throughout the year. The Boards considered Credit Suisse’s representations at the May 2023 Board Meeting that (i) no material changes to the information provided in the November 2022 15(c) Materials had occurred since the November 2022 15(c) Meeting and (ii) the personnel, resources and services provided to the Funds are not expected to change under the New Advisory Agreements and will be similar to those services provided under the Prior Advisory Agreements.

Each Board, including all of the Independent Board Members, were assisted by experienced independent legal counsel throughout the New Advisory Agreement review process. The Independent Board Members discussed the proposed approvals in private session with such counsel at which no representatives of management, Credit Suisse or Credit Suisse UK were present. Each Board Member, including each of the Independent Board Members, relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and his or her own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the New Advisory Agreements and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Board Members were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Board Member may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the New Advisory Agreements.

While the application for the Section 9(c) exemption was submitted and the Temporary Order was granted after the Board approved the New Advisory Agreements at the May 2023 Board Meeting, since shortly after the entry of the Consent Judgment in October 2022, the Boards have been apprised of the Consent Judgment and the potential consequences thereof under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act and have been provided with regular updates. In addition, the Boards were apprised of the filing of the Section 9(c) exemption application and the implications of the Time-Limited Exemption prior to approving the submission of the New Advisory Agreements to shareholders at a meeting of the Boards held on June 15, 2023.

Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Expenses

Each Board reviewed and considered the contractual advisory fees of each Fund under its Prior Advisory Agreement(s) and its New Advisory Agreement(s) set out in Appendix G (which fees are identical), in light of the extent and quality of the management services provided by Credit Suisse, as investment adviser, and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, by Credit Suisse UK, as sub-adviser. The Board of the Strategic Income Fund noted that the compensation paid to Credit Suisse UK does not increase the fees or expenses otherwise incurred by the Fund.

The Board of each Open-End Fund also considered that Credit Suisse and the Fund have entered into a contractual expense limitation agreement limiting the Fund’s total net expenses and that each of these arrangements were expected to continue under the New Advisory Agreements. The Boards of the Open-End Funds noted that each Open-End Fund is authorized to reimburse Credit Suisse for advisory fees previously limited and/or for expenses previously reimbursed by Credit Suisse, provided, however, that any reimbursements must be paid at a date not more than thirty-six months following the applicable month during which such fees were limited or expenses were reimbursed by Credit Suisse and the reimbursements do not cause the Fund to exceed the applicable expense limitation at the time the fees are recouped. The Board also noted that the expense limitation agreements may not be terminated before February 28, 2024.

The Board of DHY also considered that, currently, Credit Suisse voluntarily waives 0.15% of advisory fees on the first $200 million of the average weekly value of the Fund’s total assets minus the sum of liabilities (other than the aggregate indebtedness constituting leverage) (the “Managed Assets”) and 0.25% of advisory fees on the next $50 million of the Fund’s Managed Assets. In addition, the Board considered DHY’s actual advisory fee rate of 0.831% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 paid by DHY after taking into account the voluntary advisory fee waiver, as well as the advisory fee breakpoint in the Fund’s Prior Investment Advisory Agreement (which breakpoint is also included in the Fund’s New Investment Advisory Agreement). The Board of DHY acknowledged that the voluntary advisory fee waiver could be discontinued at any time.

10

The November 2022 15(c) Materials included information comparing each Fund’s contractual advisory fee, each Fund’s contractual advisory fee less any waivers and/or reimbursements (“actual advisory fee”), and each Fund’s overall expenses with those of funds in both the relevant expense group (each, an “Expense Group”) and universe of funds (each, an “Expense Universe”) provided by Broadridge, an independent provider of investment company data. The November 15(c) Materials included a description of the methodology used to arrive at the funds included in the Expense Group and the Expense Universe. Each fund in the relevant Expense Group and Expense Universe was placed in one of five quintiles for each relevant comparison period, with the first quintile including the funds with the lowest relative expenses and the fifth quintile including funds with the highest relative expenses during the period. Each Fund’s Board noted the following with respect to the Fund’s fees and expenses compared to its peers as presented in a report provided by Broadridge:

Credit Suisse Commodity Return Strategy Fund’s (the “Commodity Fund”) contractual advisory fees ranked in the third quintile relative to its Expense Group, the Fund’s actual advisory fees ranked in the second quintile relative to its Expense Group and Expense Universe, and the Fund’s total expenses ranked in the third quintile relative to its Expense Group and the second quintile relative to its Expense Universe.

Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund’s (the “Floating Rate Fund”) contractual advisory fees ranked in the fourth quintile relative to its Expense Group, and the Fund’s actual advisory fees and total expenses ranked in the second quintile relative to its Expense Group and its Expense Universe.

Strategic Income Fund’s contractual advisory fees ranked in the fifth quintile relative to its Expense Group, the Fund’s actual advisory fees ranked in the fourth quintile relative to its Expense Group and the fifth quintile relative to its Expense Universe, and the Fund’s total expenses ranked in the fourth quintile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe.

Credit Suisse Managed Futures Strategy Fund’s (the “Managed Futures Fund”) contractual advisory fees ranked in the second quintile relative to its Expense Group, the Fund’s actual advisory fees ranked in the third quintile relative to its Expense Group and Expense Universe, and the Fund’s total expenses ranked in the first quintile relative to its Expense Group and Expense Universe.

Credit Suisse Multialternative Strategy Fund’s (the “Multialternative Strategy Fund”) contractual advisory fees ranked in the second quintile relative to its Expense Group, and the Fund’s actual advisory fees and total expenses ranked in the first quintile relative to its Expense Group and Expense Universe.

Commodity Return Strategy Portfolio’s (the “Commodity Portfolio”) contractual advisory fees ranked second in its Expense Group (which is comprised of four funds), the Fund’s actual advisory fees ranked third in its Expense Group and in the second quintile relative to its Expense Universe, and the Fund’s total expenses ranked fourth in its Expense Group and in the fourth quintile relative to its Expense Universe.

CIK’s contractual advisory fees ranked in the first quintile relative to its Expense Group, and the Fund’s actual advisory fees and total expenses ranked in the first quintile relative to its Expense Group and Expense Universe.

DHY’s contractual advisory fees ranked in the fifth quintile relative to its Expense Group, the Fund’s actual advisory fees ranked in the third quintile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe, and the Fund’s total expenses ranked in the first quintile of its Expense Group and the second quintile of its Expense Universe.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services

Each Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to its respective Fund(s) by Credit Suisse and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, by Credit Suisse UK. Each Board also noted information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by Credit Suisse which, in addition to portfolio management and investment management services, included credit analysis and research, supervising the day-to-day operations of each Fund’s non-advisory functions which include accounting, administration, custody, transfer agent and other applicable third party service providers, overseeing and facilitating audits, overseeing each applicable Fund’s credit facility and supervising and/or preparing applicable Fund filings, disclosures and shareholder reports. Each Board noted that the extensive investment management services provided by Credit Suisse included broad supervisory responsibility and oversight over other service providers to the Funds. Each Board also considered Credit Suisse’s compliance program with respect to the Funds. Each Board noted that Credit Suisse reports to the Boards about portfolio management and compliance matters on a periodic basis. Each Board also reviewed background information about Credit Suisse and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, Credit Suisse UK, including their respective Form ADV Part 2 – Disclosure Brochure and, with respect to Credit Suisse, Brochure Supplement and considered the background and experience of Credit Suisse’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, senior personnel of Credit Suisse. In addition, each Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the respective Fund and the extent of the resources devoted to research and analysis of actual and potential investments, as well as the resources provided to them. Each Board evaluated the ability of each of Credit Suisse and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, Credit Suisse UK, based on its resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals including research, advisory, and supervisory personnel. Each Board also received and considered information about the nature, extent and quality of services and fee rates offered to other Credit Suisse clients for comparable services. Each Board acknowledged Credit Suisse’s representation that the services provided to the Funds are more extensive than the services provided in connection with other types of accounts, such as separate accounts, offered by Credit Suisse and the services are also more extensive from those offered and provided to a sub-advised fund. Each Board also considered that the services provided by Credit Suisse have expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments.

In approving the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board of the Strategic Income Fund considered the benefits of retaining Credit Suisse’s affiliate as the Fund’s sub-adviser and Credit Suisse UK’s investment style.

Fund Performance

Each Board considered information provided in the November 2022 15(c) Materials and at each subsequent quarterly meeting to consider the performance of its respective Fund(s). That information in the November 2022 15(c) Materials included performance results of each Fund over the previous year ended August 31, 2022 as well as over the two-, three-, four-, five-, and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended August 31, 2022 along with comparisons both to the relevant performance group (each, a “Performance Group”) and universe of funds (each, a “Performance Universe”) for the Fund for the same time periods provided by Broadridge. The November 2022 15(c) materials included a description of the methodology used to arrive at the funds included in the Performance Group and the Performance Universe. Each fund in the relevant Performance Universe was placed in one of five quintiles for each relevant comparison period, with the first quintile including the best performing funds and the fifth quintile including the worst performing funds during the period. Each Fund’s Board noted the following with respect to the Fund’s performance compared to its peers as presented in a report provided by Broadridge, along with other information provided by Credit Suisse, as applicable:

Commodity Fund’s performance ranked in the second quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the one-, three- and four-year periods reported, and the Fund ranked in the third quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the two-, five- and ten-year periods reported.

Floating Rate Fund’s performance ranked in the first quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five- and ten-year periods reported.

12

Strategic Income Fund’s performance ranked in the first quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the one-, two-, three-, four- and five-year periods reported.

Managed Futures Fund’s performance ranked in the second quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the one- and two-year periods reported, the Fund’s performance ranked in the third quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the three- and four-year periods reported, and the Fund’s performance ranked in the fourth quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the five-year period reported.

Multialternative Strategy Fund’s performance ranked in the first quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five-, and ten-year periods reported.

Commodity Portfolio’s performance ranked in the second quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the one-year period reported, ranked in the fifth quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the two- and five-year periods reported, and ranked in the fourth quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the three- and four-year periods reported.

CIK’s performance ranked in the first quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the one-, three-, four- five-, and ten-year periods reported, and the Fund’s performance ranked in the second quintile for the two-year period reported. CIK’s Board concluded that the Fund has continued to trade relatively well, at a small discount to net asset value, based on Lipper data provided by Credit Suisse reflecting CIK’s historical share price and net asset value.

DHY’s performance ranked in the second quintile relative to its Performance Universe for the one- and two-year periods reported, and the Fund’s performance ranked in the first quintile relative to its Performance Universe over the three-, four-, five-, and ten-year periods reported. DHY’s Board concluded that the Fund has continued to trade relatively well, at a discount to net asset value, based on Lipper data provided by Credit Suisse reflecting DHY’s historical share price and net asset value.

Each Board also considered the investment performance of the respective Fund(s) relative to its stated objectives.

Each Board noted that at the May 2023 Board Meeting, the Boards received information from Credit Suisse regarding (i) with respect to the Commodity Fund and Commodity Portfolio, each Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark for the one- and three-month, year-to-date and one-, three-, five- and ten-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023; (ii) with respect to the Multialternative Strategy Fund and Managed Futures Fund, each Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark for each month of 2023 and each quarter from the quarter ended June 30, 2020 through the quarter ended March 31, 2023, in addition to relative to its select peers for the three-month and one-, three- and five-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023; and (iii) with respect to the Strategic Income Fund, Floating Rate Fund, CIK and DHY, each Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark and select peers for the three- and six-month and one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2023, as applicable.

Credit Suisse Profitability

Each Board referred to a profitability analysis of Credit Suisse provided in the November 2022 15(c) Materials based on the fees payable under the Prior Investment Advisory Agreements and the New Investment Advisory Agreements for the Funds, including any fee waivers, as well as other relationships between the Funds on the one hand and Credit Suisse affiliates on the other. Each Board’s deliberations also reflected, in the context of Credit Suisse’s profitability, Credit Suisse’s methodology for allocating costs to the Funds, recognizing that cost allocation methodologies are inherently subjective. Each Board had also received net profitability information for all of the Funds. Each Board reviewed Credit Suisse’s profit margin as reflected in the profitability analysis, as well as reviewing profitability in light of appropriate court cases and the services rendered to the Funds.

13

Economies of Scale

Each Board considered information provided in the November 2022 15(c) Materials regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale for the Funds as follows:

Open-End Funds The Board of each Open-End Fund, other than the Floating Rate Fund, considered that, if the Fund’s asset levels grow, further economies of scale potentially could be realized (although this is not guaranteed) and also noted the contractual expense limitations currently in place between the Fund and Credit Suisse. The Board of the Floating Rate Fund noted that the Floating Rate Fund’s contractual advisory fee had breakpoints that would allow investors to benefit directly in the form of lower fees as Fund assets grow and also noted the contractual expense limitation currently in place between Floating Rate Fund and Credit Suisse. Those Boards received information regarding Credit Suisse’s profitability in connection with providing investment management services to each Open-End Fund, including Credit Suisse’s costs in providing the services.

CIK The Board considered that, if the Fund’s asset levels grow, further economies of scale potentially could be realized (although this is not guaranteed) and the fact that the Fund does not pay advisory fees on the Fund’s leveraged assets. Additionally, the Board noted the Fund has an effective shelf registration statement that permits it to conduct an at-the-market offering, whereby the Fund may issue additional shares when the Fund’s shares are trading at a premium to its net asset value, and that between November 17, 2021 and September 30, 2022, the Fund sold and issued approximately 277,489 new shares for a net increase in assets of approximately $823,639. The Board received information regarding Credit Suisse’s profitability in connection with providing advisory services to the Fund, including Credit Suisse’s costs in providing the services.

DHY The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee had breakpoints that would allow investors to benefit directly in the form of lower fees as Fund assets grow, as well as the voluntary advisory fee waiver. Additionally, at times when the Fund’s shares have traded at a premium to its net asset value, the Fund has endeavored to conduct at-the-market offerings to raise additional assets, most recently in 2017. The Board also noted that further economies of scale potentially could be realized once the Fund’s shares again traded at a premium to net asset value whereby an additional at-the-market offering could be conducted to increase the Fund’s assets. The Board received information regarding Credit Suisse’s profitability in connection with providing advisory services to the Fund, including Credit Suisse’s costs in providing the services.

Other Benefits to Credit Suisse

Each Board considered other benefits received by Credit Suisse and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds previously included in the November 2022 15(c) Materials. Such benefits included, among others, benefits potentially derived from an increase in Credit Suisse’s businesses and its reputation as a result of its relationship with the Funds (such as the ability to market its advisory services to other clients and investors including separate account or third party sub-advised mandates or other financial products offered by Credit Suisse and its affiliates), as well as, with respect to the Open-End Funds, the fees paid to an affiliate of Credit Suisse for distribution services.

Each Board considered the standards Credit Suisse applied in seeking best execution and Credit Suisse’s policies and practices regarding soft dollars and reviewed Credit Suisse’s method for allocating portfolio investment opportunities among its advisory clients, as provided in the November 2022 15(c) Materials.

14

Other Factors and Broader Review

As discussed above, each Board previously reviewed and referred to detailed materials received from Credit Suisse as part of this special approval process. Each Board also reviews and assesses the quality of the services that each Fund receives throughout the year and reviews reports of Credit Suisse at least quarterly, which include, among other things, detailed portfolio and market reviews, detailed fund performance reports, and Credit Suisse’s compliance procedures.

Each Board also considered the information provided by the representatives of UBS during the UBS Presentation at the May 2023 Board Meeting. In particular, each Board considered the information regarding the investment advisory and principal underwriting services currently provided to the UBS family of registered investment companies.

In addition, each Board considered representations from Credit Suisse and UBS that there were no plans to make any changes to the investment objective(s), principal investment strategies and policies, principal risks, fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies or portfolio managers (other than potential personnel changes outside of Credit Suisse’s control) of the Funds upon the closing of the Merger.

Conclusions

After consideration of the foregoing, each Board reached the following conclusions regarding the New Investment Advisory Agreements and, as applicable, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement (in addition to the conclusions set forth above):

The contractual and net advisory fees for each Fund were reasonable in relation to the services provided by Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK, as applicable.

Each Board was satisfied by the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each Fund by Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK, as applicable (and with respect to the Commodity Fund and Commodity Portfolio, in a challenging commodities environment), and that, based on dialogue with management and counsel, the services to be provided by Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse UK, as applicable, under the New Advisory Agreements are typical of, and consistent with, those provided to similar mutual funds by other investment advisers.

With respect to the Open-End Funds and DHY, in light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to each Fund and Credit Suisse’s and Credit Suisse UK’s, as applicable, ongoing commitment to each Fund and willingness to waive fees (in the case of the Open-End Funds, by agreeing to a contractual expense limitation and, in the case of DHY, by agreeing to a voluntary advisory fee waiver), Credit Suisse’s and Credit Suisse UK’s, as applicable, net profitability based on fees payable under the New Advisory Agreements, as well as other ancillary benefits that Credit Suisse and its affiliates received, were considered reasonable. With respect to CIK, in light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund and Credit Suisse’s ongoing commitment to the Fund and willingness to base the fee on an average weekly base amount which, with respect to each quarter, is the average of the lower of (i) the stock price (market value) of the Fund’s outstanding shares and (ii) the Fund’s net assets, in each case determined as of the last trading day for each week during that quarter, Credit Suisse’s net profitability based on fees payable under the Fund’s New Advisory Agreement, as well as other ancillary benefits that Credit Suisse and its affiliates received, were considered reasonable.

In light of the information received and considered by the Board, each Fund’s current fee structure was considered reasonable.

No single factor reviewed by each Board was identified by each Board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the New Advisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. After consideration of these factors, each Fund’s Board concluded that the approval of the New Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Proxy Voting and Shareholder Meeting

All properly executed and timely received proxy cards will be voted in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise provided therein. Accordingly, unless instructions to the contrary are marked, proxy cards will be voted for the approval of each Fund’s New Investment Advisory Agreement and, in the case of the Strategic Income Fund, approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Shares of the establishmentCommodity Return Strategy Portfolio, a series of CS Trust, are sold to certain tax-qualified pension and retirement plans (“Qualified Plans”) and insurance companies (“Insurance Companies”) and their separate accounts and are used as investment options under the Qualified Plans and under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“Variable Contracts”) issued by the Insurance Companies. Variable Contract holders and Qualified Plan participants who select the Commodity Return Strategy Portfolio for investment through a Variable Contract or Qualified Plan have a beneficial interest in the Portfolio, but do not invest directly in or hold shares of the Portfolio. An Insurance Company or Qualified Plan that uses the Commodity Return Strategy Portfolio as a funding vehicle is, in most cases, the legal shareholder of the Portfolio and, as such, has sole voting power with respect to the shares. However, under current law, the Insurance Companies are required to solicit voting instructions from Variable Contract holders who beneficially own shares of the Commodity Return Strategy Portfolio as of the Record Date and must vote all shares held in the separate account in proportion to the voting instructions received for the Meeting. The Qualified Plans will also solicit voting instructions from Qualified Plan participants who beneficially own shares of the Commodity Return Strategy Portfolio as of the Record Date. The Insurance Companies and the Qualified Plans will vote shares of the Commodity Return Strategy Portfolio for which no instructions have been received in the same proportion as they vote shares for which they have received instructions, even in instances where a broker would be prevented from exercising discretion.

Delaware Statutory Trust Act — Control Share Acquisitions of DHY

Because DHY is organized as a Delaware statutory trust, it is subject to the control share acquisition provisions (the “Control Share Statute”) contained in Subchapter III of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the “DSTA”). The Control Share Statute became automatically applicable to listed closed-end funds organized as Delaware statutory trusts, such as the Fund, upon its effective date of August 1, 2022.The Control Share Statute provides for a series of voting power thresholds above which shares are considered “control beneficial interests” (referred to herein as “control shares”). The first such threshold is 10% or more, but less than 15%, of all voting power. Voting power is defined by the Control Share Statute as the power to directly or indirectly exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power of Fund shares in the election of trustees. Whether a voting power threshold is met is determined by aggregating the holdings of the acquirer as well as those of its “associates,” which is broadly defined by the Control Share Statute.

Once a threshold is reached, an acquirer has no voting rights under the DSTA or the governing documents of the Fund with respect to shares acquired in excess of that threshold (i.e., the “control shares”) unless approved by shareholders or exempted by DHY’s Board. Approval by shareholders requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares held by the acquirer and its associates as well as shares held by certain insiders of DHY. The Control Share Statute provides procedures for an acquirer to request a shareholder meeting for the purpose of considering whether voting rights shall be accorded to control shares. Further approval by DHY’s shareholders would be required with respect to additional acquisitions of control shares above the next applicable threshold level. DHY’s Board is permitted, but not obligated to, exempt specific acquisitions or classes of acquisitions of control shares, either in advance or retroactively.

The Control Share Statute does not retroactively apply to acquisitions of shares that occurred prior to the August 1, 2022 effective date. However, such shares will be aggregated with any adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

Forshares acquired after August 1, 2022 for purposes of determining whether a voting power threshold is exceeded, resulting in the presencenewly acquired shares constituting control shares.

18

The Control Share Statute requires shareholders to disclose to DHY any control share acquisition within 10 days of such acquisition and, upon request, to provide any information that the Board reasonably believes is necessary or desirable to determine whether a quorumcontrol share acquisition has occurred.

Recent federal and state court decisions have found that control share bylaw provisions are not consistent with the 1940 Act. Although these decisions relate to closed-end funds that adopted a control share provision in their bylaws, as opposed to a closed-end fund becoming automatically subject to a state’s control share statute (as is the case for transacting business atDHY), it is possible that a court could decide that the Meeting, abstentions and broker “non-votes” (thataforementioned precedent applies to DHY’s being subject to the Control Share Statute.

The foregoing is proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions fromonly a summary of certain aspects of the beneficial owner or other persons entitledControl Share Statute. Shareholders should consult their own legal counsel to vote shares on a particular matterdetermine the application of the Control Share Statute with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will be treated astheir shares that are present but which have not been voted. Accordingly, shareholders are urged to forward their voting instructions promptly.

The election of a Director will require that the candidate receive a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting in person or by proxy. Because abstentionsFund and broker non-votes are not treated as shares voted, any abstentions and broker non-votes would have no impact on the election.

subsequent acquisitions of shares.

New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Strategic Income Fund

Sub-Advisory Agreement

[__], 2023

Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC
Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited

Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited
One Cabot Square
London E14 4QJ
United Kingdom

Dear Sirs:

Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, herewith confirms its agreement with Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (the “Sub-Adviser”), a company incorporated in England with limited liability, as follows:

1.             Investment Description; Appointment. The Adviser and Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, have entered into an Investment Management Agreement dated as of [__], 2023 (the “Management Agreement”), pursuant to which the Adviser acts as investment adviser with respect to Credit Suisse Strategic Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Trust. The Management Agreement authorizes the Adviser to engage a sub-adviser to provide advisory services with respect to the Fund. The Adviser desires to employ and hereby appoints the Sub-Adviser to act as its sub-adviser upon the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Sub-Adviser accepts the appointment and agrees to furnish the services set forth below for the compensation provided for herein.

2.             Services as Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser will provide investment advisory and portfolio management advice to all or that portion of the Fund’s assets designated by the Adviser from time to time (the “Assets”). The Adviser will inform the Sub-Adviser, on a monthly basis, of any changes to the amount of Assets. Subject to the supervision and direction of the Board of Trustees of the Trust and the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser will (a) act in strict conformity with the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), as the same may from time to time be amended, (b) manage the Assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies as stated in the Fund’s Prospectus(es) and Statement(s) of Additional Information (the “Prospectus” and “SAI”, respectively) and investment parameters provided by the Adviser in writing from time to time, (c) make investment decisions for the Fund with respect to the Assets, (d) place purchase and sale orders for securities on behalf of the Fund with respect to the Assets, and (e) exercise voting rights in respect of the Assets for the Fund. In providing those services, the Sub-Adviser will provide investment research and supervision of the Assets and conduct a continual program of investment, evaluation and, if appropriate, sale and reinvestment of the Assets. In addition, the Sub-Adviser will furnish the Fund with whatever statistical information the Fund may reasonably request with respect to the securities that the Fund may hold or contemplate purchasing.

Copies of the Prospectus and SAI have been or will be submitted to the Sub-Adviser. The Adviser agrees to promptly provide the Sub-Adviser with copies of all amendments to the Prospectus and SAI on an ongoing basis. The Adviser will incorporate the Fund into its monitoring program and provide quarterly reports to the Sub-Adviser relating to surveillance and investment guideline monitoring. Additionally the Adviser will provide a monthly report to the Sub-Adviser stating the amount of assets under management the Sub-Adviser is managing for the Fund.

F-1

The Sub-Adviser may enter into, make and perform such contracts, agreements and other undertakings as may be required to give effect to the powers delegated herein.

The Sub-Adviser will not have custody over the Assets at any time. For the avoidance of doubt the Sub-Adviser shall not hold client assets (including client money) as defined by the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”). The Fund’s custodian is not an agent selected by the Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Adviser does not accept any liability for any default by the Fund’s custodian and is not bound to supervise the Fund’s custodian. The Adviser shall instruct the Fund’s custodian to provide the Sub-Adviser with such details of the Assets as the Sub-Adviser may require.

3.             Brokerage. In executing transactions for the Fund, selecting brokers or dealers and negotiating any brokerage commission rates, the Sub-Adviser will use its best efforts to seek the best overall terms available in accordance with the Credit Suisse Global and UK Best Execution Policies (the “Best Execution Policies”) and all applicable laws and regulations, including the requirements of the FSA. By entering into this agreement the Adviser confirms its acceptance of the Best Execution Policies in its own right and on behalf of its clients. If there are any changes to the Best Execution Policies, revised details will be posted on the Sub-Adviser’s website and, if the Adviser continues to use the Sub-Adviser’s services after that period, it will be deemed to have consented to the change of policy. Where such a change to the Best Execution Policy is a material change, the Sub-Adviser shall notify the Adviser in writing prior to the change being effected. To the extent that the Adviser provides the Sub-Adviser with a specific instruction in relation to an order or any part of an order including selecting to execute on a particular venue, in following the Adviser’s instructions the Sub-Adviser will be deemed to have taken all reasonable steps to provide the best possible result in respect of that order or aspect of the order. By entering into this Agreement, the Adviser expressly consents to the Sub-Adviser executing orders outside a regulated market or multi-lateral trading facility (as those terms are defined in the FSA Rules). In assessing the best overall terms available for any portfolio transaction, the Sub-Adviser will consider all factors it deems relevant including, but not limited to, breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of any commission for the specific transaction and for transactions executed through the broker or dealer in the aggregate. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute a particular transaction and in evaluating the best overall terms available, the Sub-Adviser may consider the brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as the same may from time to time be amended) provided to the Fund and/or other accounts over which the Sub-Adviser or an affiliate exercises investment discretion.

On occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of the Fund as well as of other investment advisory clients of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser may, to the extent permitted by the Credit Suisse Global Allocation Policy applicable laws and regulations, including the requirements of the FSA, but shall not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be so sold or purchased with those of its other clients. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Sub-Adviser in a manner that is fair and equitable, in the judgment of the Sub-Adviser, in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients, and in accordance with the Credit Suisse Global Allocation Policy. The Sub-Adviser shall provide to the Adviser and the Fund all information reasonably requested by the Adviser and the Fund relating to the decisions made by the Sub-Adviser regarding allocation of securities purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in a transaction, among the Fund and the Sub-Adviser’s other investment advisory clients.

4.             Information Provided to the Fund. The Sub-Adviser will keep the Fund informed of developments materially affecting the Fund, and will, on its own initiative, furnish the Fund from time to time with whatever information the Sub-Adviser believes is appropriate for this purpose.

5.             Standard of Care. The Sub-Adviser shall exercise its best judgment in rendering the services listed in Sections 2, 3 and 4 above. The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Adviser or the Fund in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect the Sub-Adviser against any liability to the Adviser or the Fund to which the Sub-Adviser would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or by reason of the Sub-Adviser’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

F-2

6.             Compensation. In consideration of the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, the Adviser will pay the Sub-Adviser an annual fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Such fee shall be calculated and payable monthly.

The fee for the period from the date of this Agreement to the end of the year shall be prorated according to the proportion that such period bears to the full yearly period. Upon any termination of this Agreement before the end of a year, the fee for such part of that year shall be prorated according to the proportion that such period bears to the full yearly period and shall be payable upon the date of termination of this Agreement. For the purpose of determining fees payable to the Sub-Adviser, the value of the Fund’s net assets shall be computed at the times and in the manner specified in the Fund’s Prospectus or SAI.

7.             Expenses. The Sub-Adviser will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement.

8.             Services to Other Companies or Accounts. It is understood that the services of the Sub-Adviser are not exclusive and that the Sub-Adviser now acts, will continue to act and may act in the future as investment adviser to fiduciary and other managed accounts and to one or more other investment companies or series of investment companies, provided that whenever the Fund and one or more other accounts or investment companies or portfolios advised by the Sub-Adviser have available funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate for each will be allocated in accordance with a formula believed to be equitable to each entity. In some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for the Fund. In addition, it is understood that the persons employed by the Sub-Adviser to assist in the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s duties hereunder will not devote their full time to such service and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Sub-Adviser or any affiliate of the Sub-Adviser to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature, provided that doing so does not adversely affect the ability of the Sub-Adviser to perform its services under this Agreement.

9.             Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue for an initial two-year period commencing on the date first written above, and thereafter shall continue automatically for successive annual periods, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (a) the Board of Trustees of the Trust or (b) a vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund or any party to this Agreement, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. This Agreement is terminable, without penalty, by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by vote of holders of a majority of the Fund’s shares on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, by the Adviser on ninety (90) days’ written notice to the Fund and the Sub-Adviser, and by the Sub-Adviser on ninety (90) days’ written notice to the Fund and the Adviser. This Agreement will also terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the1940 Act) by any party hereto.

10.           Customer Status. Under the rules of the FSA (the “FSA Rules”), customers must be placed in specific categories which are dictated by different considerations including the nature and financial description of the customer, the experience of the customer in certain investments and other factors. On the basis of the information which the Adviser has given, each of the Adviser and the Fund shall be treated as a “Professional Client” (as defined in the FSA Rules) in relation to the services to be provided in accordance with this Agreement. Each of the Adviser and the Fund has the right to request to be treated as a “Retail Client” (as defined in the FSA Rules). If the Sub-Adviser agrees, at its sole discretion, to categorize the Adviser or the Fund as a Retail Client, the Adviser or the Fund, as the case may be, would benefit from the higher level of protection that is afforded to such type of client under the regulatory system of the United Kingdom.

11.           Miscellaneous

(a)            This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York in the United States, including choice of law principles; provided that nothing herein shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act or any applicable rules, regulations or orders of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

F-3

(b)            The captions of this Agreement are included for convenience only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions herein or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

(c)            If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, by statute or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and, to this extent, the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be severable.

(d)            Nothing herein shall be construed to make the Sub-Adviser an agent of the Advisor.

(e)            This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, with the same effect as if the signatures were upon the same instrument.

As of December 31, 2017, none of the non-interested nominees for election to the Board, the other Non-Interested Directors or their immediate family members owned beneficially or of record any class of securities in Credit Suisse or in a person (other than a registered investment company) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with Credit Suisse.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, each Non-Interested Director received an annual fee of $18,000 and $2,000 for each meeting of the Board attended by him or her and was reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with his or her attendance at the Fund’s Board meetings. Effective January 1, 2018, the annual fee increased to $20,000. The total remuneration paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 to all such Non-Interested Directors was $120,797. The Independent Chairman receives an additional annual fee of

13


$5,000 and the Audit Committee Chairman receives an additional annual fee of $2,000.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the Board convened six times. Each Director attended at least seventy-five percent of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and any committees on which he or she served during the period for which he or she was a Director.

Leadership Structure and Oversight Responsibilities

Overall responsibility for oversight of the Fund rests with the Board. The Fund has engaged Credit Suisse to manage the Fund on a day-to-day basis. The Board is responsible for overseeing Credit Suisse and other service providers in the operations of the Fund in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, applicable provisions of state and other laws and the Fund’s charter. The Board is currently composed of five members each of whom, other than Mr. Popp, is a Non-Interested Director. The Board meets in-person at regularly scheduled quarterly meetings each year. In addition, the Board may hold special in-person or telephonic meetings or informal conference calls to discuss specific matters that may arise or require action between regular meetings. As described below, the Board has established a Nominating Committee and an Audit Committee, and may establish ad hoc committees or working groups from time to time, to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Non-Interested Directors have also engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities.

The Board has appointed Steven Rappaport, a Non-Interested Director, to serve in the role of Chairman. The Chairman’s role is to preside at all meetings of the Board and to act as a liaison with Credit Suisse, counsel and other Directors generally between meetings. The Chairman serves as a key point person for dealings between management and the Directors. The Chairman may also perform such other functions as may be delegated by the Board from time to time. The Board reviews matters related to its leadership structure annually. The Board has determined that the Board’s leadership structure is appropriate because it allows the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over the matters under its purview and it allocates areas of responsibility among committees of Directors and the full Board in a manner that enhances effective oversight.

The Fund is subject to a number of risks, including investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks, among others. Risk oversight forms part of the Board’s general oversight of the Fund and is addressed as part of various Board and committee activities. Day-to-day risk management functions are subsumed within the responsibilities of Credit Suisse and other service providers (depending on the nature of the risk), which carry out the Fund’s investment management and business affairs. Credit Suisse and other service providers employ a variety of processes, procedures and controls to identify various events or circumstances that give rise to risks, to lessen the probability of their occurrence and/or to mitigate the

14


effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur. Each of Credit Suisse and other service providers has their own independent interest in risk management, and their policies and methods of risk management will depend on their functions and business models. The Board recognizes that it is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the Fund or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. As part of its regular oversight of the Fund, the Board interacts with and reviews reports from, among others, Credit Suisse, the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and counsel, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Fund and applicable risk controls. The Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts risk oversight.

All of the Directors, except for John Popp, constitute the Fund’s Audit Committee, which is composed of Directors who are not interested persons of the Fund and who are independent (as such term is defined by the listing standards of the NYSE American, LLC, formerly known as NYSE MKT, LLC (the “NYSE American”)). The Audit Committee convened four times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The Audit Committee advises the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and financial matters affecting the Fund.

All of the Directors, except for John Popp, constitute the Fund’s Nominating Committee, which is composed of Directors who are not interested persons of the Fund and who are independent (as such term is defined by the listing standards of the NYSE American). The Nominating Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. At a meeting of the Nominating Committee held on March 12, 2018, the Nominating Committee (with the nominees abstaining from voting) determined to recommend to the full Board the nomination of each of Lawrence J. Fox, Mahendra R. Gupta and John G. Popp for a three-year term; Jeffrey E. Garten for a two-year term; and Laura A. DeFelice for a one-year term. The Nominating Committee selects and recommends to the full Board candidates for nomination as Directors. The Board has adopted a Nominating Committee Charter (a copy of which is included as Appendix A to this proxy statement). In nominating candidates, the Nominating Committee will take into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include judgment, skill, diversity, experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity, size and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight, the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other Board members, and the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees thereof. With respect to diversity, the Nominating Committee considers whether a candidate’s background, experience and skills will contribute to the diversity of the Board.

The Nominating Committee will consider candidates submitted by shareholders or from other sources it deems appropriate. Any recommendation should be submitted to the Secretary of the Fund, c/o Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, One Madison Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, New York 10010. Shareholders or

15


shareholder groups submitting proposed candidates must substantiate compliance with the requirements in the Fund’sBy-laws at the time of submitting their proposed candidate. Any submission should include, at a minimum, the following information: As to each individual proposed for election orre-election as director, the name, age, business address, residence address and principal occupation or employment of such individual, the class, series and number of shares of stock of the Fund that are beneficially owned by such individual, the date such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition, whether such stockholder believes such individual is, or is not, an “interested person” of the Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act), and information regarding such individual that is sufficient, in the discretion of the Nominating Committee, to make such determination, and all other information relating to such individual that is required to be disclosed in solicitation of proxies for election of directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved) or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A (or any successor provision) under the Act, and the rules thereunder (including such individual’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director (if elected)). To be considered for inclusion in the Fund’s proxy statement, the submission must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Fund not later than 120 days, nor earlier than 150 days, before the first anniversary of the date on which the Fund first mailed its proxy materials for the annual meeting held in the prior year; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by such stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than 150 days prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice or public announcement of the date of such meeting was given or made. Any such submission must also be submitted by such date and contain such information as may be specified in the Fund’sBy-laws, or as required by any relevant stock exchange listing standards.

The Fund does not have a Compensation Committee.

OTHER BOARD-RELATED MATTERS

Shareholders who wish to send communications to the Board should send them to the address of the Fund and to the attention of the Board c/o the Secretary of the Fund. All such communications will be directed to the Board’s attention.

The Fund does not have a formal policy regarding Board member attendance at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter adopted by the Board (a copy of which is included as Appendix B to this proxy statement), the Audit Committee is responsible for conferring with the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing annual financial statements, approving the selection of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and overseeing the Fund’s internal controls. The Fund’s Audit Committee charter also contains provisions relating to the pre-approval by the Audit Committee of certain non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund and to Credit Suisse and certain of its affiliates. The Audit Committee advises the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and financial matters affecting the Fund. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for planning and carrying out audits in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

The Audit Committee has met with the Fund’s management to discuss, among other things, the Fund’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The Audit Committee has also met with the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), and discussed with them certain matters required by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 114, The Auditor’s Communication with those charged with Governance, as currently modified or supplemented, including, but not limited to, the scope of the Fund’s audit, the Fund’s financial statements and the Fund’s accounting controls. The Audit Committee has received from KPMG the letter required by the SEC’s independence rules describing any relationships between it and the Fund, Credit Suisse and its affiliates that may be thought to bear upon the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has discussed with KPMG its independence and has considered whether the provision of services by KPMG to the Fund, Credit Suisse and its affiliates was compatible with maintaining KPMG’s independence.

The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not employed by the Fund for accounting, financial management or internal control. Moreover, the Audit Committee relies on and makes no independent verification of the facts presented to it or representations made by management or the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies, or internal controls and procedures, designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance that the audit of the Fund’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

17


Based upon these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Fund’s audited financial statements be included in the Fund’s 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and be mailed to shareholders and filed with the SEC.

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

This document serves as the Charter for the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) of each fund (the “Fund”) advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC (“Credit Suisse”) listed on Appendix A hereto (each such Charter being a separate Charter).

Purpose

The primary purposes of the Committee are to:

•     assist Board oversight of

1.the integrity of the Fund’s financial statements

2.the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence

3.the performance of the Fund’s independent auditors

4.the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements

•     prepare an audit committee report, if required by the SEC, to be included in the Fund’s annual proxy statement, if any;

•     oversee the scope of the annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements, the quality and objectivity of the Fund’s financial statements, the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and its internal controls relating thereto;

•     determine the selection, appointment, retention and termination of the Fund’s independent auditors, as well as approving the compensation of the auditors;

•     pre-approve all audit andnon-audit services provided to the Fund and certain other persons (as described in 2(b) below) by such independent auditors; and

•     act as a liaison between the Fund’s independent auditors and the Board.

The Fund’s independent auditors shall report directly to the Committee.

The primary function of the Committee is oversight. The Fund’s management is responsible for (i) the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Fund’s financial statements, (ii) the maintenance of appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and (iii) the maintenance of internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations.

The independent auditors are responsible for planning and carrying out proper audits and reviews in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.

In fulfilling their responsibilities hereunder, it is recognized that members of the Committee are not full-time employees of the Fund. As such, it is not the duty

B-1


or responsibility of the Committee or its members to conduct “field work” or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures or to set auditor independence standards. Each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on (i) the integrity of those persons and organizations within and outside the Fund from which it receives information, (ii) the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Committee by such persons and organizations absent actual knowledge to the contrary (which shall be promptly reported to the Fund’s Board) and (iii) statements made by the officers and employees of the Fund, Credit Suisse or other third parties as to any information technology, internal audit and othernon-audit services provided by the independent auditors to the Fund. In addition, the evaluation of the Fund’s financial statements by the Committee is not of the same scope as, and does not involve the extent of detail as, audits performed by the independent auditors, nor does the Committee’s evaluation substitute for the responsibilities of the Fund’s management for preparing, or the independent auditors for auditing, the financial statements.

Composition and Qualifications

(a)     The Committee shall consist of at least three Board members none of whom is an “interested person,” as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Board Members”), each of whom shall be financially literate and able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Fund’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement, and at least one of whom shall have accounting or related financial management expertise as determined by the Fund’s Board in its business judgment. Each member of the Committee must also meet the New York Stock Exchange’s independence requirements for audit committee members of listed companies and the independence requirements applicable to investment companies set forth in Rule10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). If one or more members of the Committee qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” (“ACFE”), within the meaning of the rules adopted and implemented under Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, at least one such member shall be designated as the Committee’s ACFE. The Committee shall elect a chairperson, who shall preside over Committee meetings (the “Chairperson”). The Chairperson shall serve as such until his successor is selected by the Committee.

The designation of a person as an ACFE shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on that person than the responsibility and liability imposed on such person as a member of the Committee, nor does it decrease the duties and obligations of other Committee members or the Board.

(b)     With respect to any subsequent changes to the composition of the Committee, and otherwise approximately once each year, the Board of Directors shall determine:

(i)     that each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” pursuant to the governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange

B-2


(“NYSE”) or applicable law or, in the case of a Fund whose securities are listed on the NYSE MKT (formerly known as (“NYSE Amex Equities”), pursuant to the governance standards of the NYSE MKT;

(ii)     that each Audit Committee member is financially literate and able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Fund’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement;

(iii)     that at least one of the Committee members has accounting or related financial management expertise and, for a Fund whose securities are listed on the NYSE MKT, is “financially sophisticated” pursuant to NYSE MKT rules; and

(iv)     the adequacy of the Charter.
