Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Shareholders and Board of Directors of Special Value Opportunities Fund, LLC

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Special Value Opportunities Fund, LLC (a Delaware Limited Liability Company) (the Company), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Special Value Opportunities Fund, LLC at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2013

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Special Value Opportunities Fund, LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a nondiversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company will not be taxed on its income to the extent that it distributes such income each year and satisfies other applicable income tax requirements.

The Certificate of Formation of the Company was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on February 18, 2004. Investment operations commenced and initial funding was received on July 13, 2004. The Company was formed to acquire a portfolio of investments consisting primarily of bank loans, distressed debt, stressed high yield debt, mezzanine investments and public equities. The stated objective of the Company is to generate current income as well as long-term capital appreciation using a leveraged capital structure. The Company is scheduled to terminate on July 13, 2016.

Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (“TCP”) serves as the Investment Manager of the Company. Babson Capital Management LLC serves as Co-Manager. Company management consists of the Investment Manager and the Board of Directors. The Investment Manager directs and executes the day-to-day operations of the Company, subject to oversight from the Board of Directors, which sets the broad policies for the Company. The Board of Directors consists of four persons, three of whom are independent. If the Company has preferred shares outstanding, as it currently does, the holders of the preferred shares voting separately as a class will be entitled to elect two of the directors. The remaining directors will be subject to election by holders of the common shares and preferred shares voting together as a single class.

Company Structure

The Company was formed with an initial maximum capitalization of $1,422 million, consisting of $711 million of committed common equity, $238 million of preferred equity, and a $473 million credit facility. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s debt facility and outstanding preferred equity have been reduced to $120.0 million under a senior secured revolving credit and term loan facility (the “Senior Facility” – Note 5), and $200,000 of Series Z Preferred Stock (Note 8). The contributed investor capital, preferred equity and the amount drawn under the Senior Facility are to be used to purchase Company investments and to pay certain fees and expenses of the Company. Most of the cash and investments of the Company are included in the collateral for the Senior Facility.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation

Management values investments held by the Company at fair value based upon the principles and methods of valuation set forth in policies adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and in conformity with procedures set forth in the Senior Facility. Fair value is generally defined as the amount for which an investment would be sold in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Investments listed on a recognized exchange or market quotation system, whether U.S. or foreign, are valued for financial reporting purposes as of the last business day of the reporting period using the closing price on the date of valuation. Liquid investments not listed on a recognized exchange or market quotation system are priced by a nationally recognized pricing service or by using quotations from broker-dealers. Investments not priced by a pricing service or for which market quotations are either not readily available or are determined to be unreliable are valued by independent valuation services or, for investments aggregating less than 5% of the total capitalization of the Company, by the Investment Manager.

Fair valuations of investments are determined under guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors and are subject to their approval. Generally, to increase objectivity in valuing the Company’s investments, the Investment Manager will utilize external measures of value, such as public markets or third-party transactions, whenever possible. The Investment Manager’s valuation is not based on long-term work-out value, immediate liquidation value, nor incremental value for potential changes that may take place in the future. The values assigned to investments that are valued by the Investment Manager are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, as these amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot reasonably be determined until the individual investments are

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

actually liquidated. The foregoing policies apply to all investments, including those in companies and groups of affiliated companies aggregating more than 5% of the Company’s assets.

Fair valuations of investments in each asset class are determined using one or more methodologies including the market approach, income approach, or, in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that may be taken into account include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, our principal market and enterprise values, among other factors.

Unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Level 3 investments as of December 31, 2013 included the following:

Asset Type	Fair Value	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range (Weighted Avg.)
Bank Debt	$ 162,316,671	Market rate approach Market quotations	Market yields Indicative bid/ask quotes	4.3% – 15.7% (10.6%) 1 (1)
		Market comparable companies	Revenue multiples	0.4x - 0.5x (0.4x)
		Market comparable companies	EBITDA multiples	5.5x – 6.8x (6.0x)
Other Corporate Debt	$     1,035,789	Market quotations	Indicative bid/ask quotes	1 (1)
Equity	$ 103,306,386	Market rate approach Market quotations	Market yields Indicative bid/ask quotes	13.0% (13.0%) 1 – 2 (1)
		Market comparable companies	Revenue multiples	0.5x (0.5x)
		Market comparable companies	EBITDA multiples	4.0x – 7.9x (6.4x)

Generally, a change to the unobservable input may result in a change to the value in the investment as follows:

Input	Impact to Value if Input Increases	Impact to Value if Input Decreases
Market yields	Decrease	Increase
Revenue multiples	Increase	Decrease
EBITDA multiples	Increase	Decrease

Investments of the Company may be categorized based on the types of inputs used in valuing such assets. The level in the GAAP valuation hierarchy in which an investment falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation of the investment in its entirety.

Investment Transactions

The Company records investment transactions on the trade date, except for private transactions that have conditions to closing, which are recorded on the closing date. The cost of investments purchased is based upon the purchase price plus those professional fees which are specifically identifiable to the investment transaction. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded based on the specific identification method, which typically allocates the highest cost inventory to the basis of the investments sold.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of amounts held in accounts with brokerage firms and the custodian bank. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Company’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral, the fair value of which is required to exceed the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all

16

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Company may be delayed or limited.

Restricted Investments

The Company may invest without limitation in instruments that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These investments generally may be resold to institutional investors in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these investments may involve time-consuming negotiations and additional expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted investments is included at the end of the Statement of Investments. Restricted investments, including any restricted investments in affiliates, are valued in accordance with the investment valuation policies discussed above.

Foreign Investments

The Company may invest in instruments traded in foreign countries and denominated in foreign currencies. At December 31, 2013, the Company had foreign currency denominated investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately 15.9% of the Company’s total investments. Such positions were converted at the closing rate in effect at December 31, 2013 and reported in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, when they occur, are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions. Realized or unrealized gains and losses from investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations with realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the market prices of such investments.

Investments in foreign companies and securities of foreign governments may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include, among other things, revaluation of currencies, less reliable information about issuers, different transactions clearance and settlement practices, and potential future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, investments in foreign companies and securities of foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.

Derivatives

In order to mitigate certain currency exchange and interest rate risks associated with foreign currency denominated investments, the Company entered into certain swap transactions. The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The transactions entered into are accounted for using the mark-to-market method with the resulting change in fair value recognized in earnings for the current period. Risks may

17

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in interest rates, commodity prices, or the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company exited its cross currency basis swap with a notional value of $3,094,272. All gains and losses from derivative transactions during the year ended December 31, 2013 were included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the Statement of Operations as follows:

Instrument	Realized		Unrealized
Cross-currency basis swap	$	-	$	110,349

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs incurred in connection with the amendment of the Senior Facility, plus unamortized debt costs on the date of the amendment, totaled approximately $5.8 million. These costs are being deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis through the scheduled maturity of the Senior Facility on July 1, 2014, adjusting for scheduled decreases in the size of the Senior Facility over its remaining life (see Note 5). The impact of utilizing this method versus the effective-interest method is not material to the Company’s operations.

Revenue Recognition

Interest and dividend income, including income paid in kind, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees earned with respect to capital commitments are generally amortized or accreted into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment. Other fees, including certain amendment fees, prepayment fees and commitment fees on broken deals, are recognized as earned. Prepayment fees and similar income received upon the early repayment of a loan or debt security are included in interest income.

The majority of the Company’s high yield and distressed debt investments are purchased at a considerable discount to par as a result of the underlying credit risks and financial results of the issuer and by general market factors that influence the financial markets as a whole. GAAP generally requires that discounts on the acquisition of corporate (investment grade) bonds, municipal bonds and treasury bonds be amortized using the effective-interest or constant-yield method. However, GAAP also requires the Company to consider the collectability of interest when making accruals. Accordingly, when accounting for purchase discounts, the Company recognizes discount accretion income when it is probable that such amounts will be collected, generally at disposition. When the Company receives principal payments on a loan in an amount in excess of the loan’s amortized cost, it records the excess principal payments as interest income.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes

The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pertaining to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is required in the financial statements. In accordance with ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes, the Company recognizes in its financial statements the effect of a tax position when it is determined that such position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination. As of December 31, 2013, all tax years since January 1, 2010 remain subject to examination by federal tax authorities. No such examinations are currently pending.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted at year end for any permanent book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. At December 31, 2013, the Company reclassified $1,967,473 in foreign currency gains and a $8,727,342 partial loss realization from accumulated net realized loss to accumulated net investment income. Temporary differences are attributable to differing book and tax treatments for the timing of the recognition of gains and losses on certain investment transactions and will reverse in subsequent periods.

As of December 31, 2013, the tax basis components of distributable earnings (accumulated deficit), unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of the investments (including derivatives) of the Company were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	-
Capital loss carryforwards		(72,804,483	)
Post-October capital loss deferrals		(42,896,039	)
Unrealized appreciation	$	52,470,846
Unrealized depreciation		(247,248,499	)
Net unrealized depreciation		(194,777,653	)
Cost	$	529,636,415

The Company’s capital loss carryforwards will not expire prior to the Company’s scheduled termination and may be used to offset capital gains in succeeding taxable years.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The tax character of distributions to common shareholders during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

Common shareholders:

	2013		2012
Ordinary income	$	6,303,857	$	25,647,265

Preferred shareholders:

	2013		2012
Ordinary income	$	16,244	$	-

3. Distributions and Performance Fees

As a performance fee, the Investment Manager receives an amount equal to 20% of distributions of net income and gain (gross of performance fees) after cumulative distributions to common shareholders have been made in an amount equal to an 8% annual weighted-average return on common shareholders’ undistributed contributed equity (the “Hurdle”). After the Hurdle is met, the Investment Manager also receives a catch-up payment until its cumulative performance fee payments equal 20% of cumulative income and gain distributions (gross of performance fees). Performance fees are accrued in a consistent manner, based on cumulative net income or loss and realized and unrealized gains or losses. As of December 31, 2013, the Hurdle exceeded the cumulative performance of the fund; accordingly, no liability for accrued but unpaid performance fees was recorded.

Distributions paid to shareholders are generally based on the taxable earnings of the Company, which may differ from earnings for financial reporting purposes, and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The timing of distributions is determined by the Board of Directors, which has provided the Investment Manager with certain criteria for such distributions. Any net long-term capital gains are distributed at least annually. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had declared $540,100,000 in distributions to common shareholders since inception.

4. Management and Advisory Fees and Other Expenses

The Company incurs an annual management and advisory fee, payable to the Investment Manager monthly in arrears, equal to 1.25% of the sum of the total common shareholder commitments and the maximum commitment under the Senior Facility. In addition to the management fee, the Investment Manager is entitled to a performance fee as discussed in Note 3 above. As compensation for its services, the Co-Manager receives a portion of the management and performance fees paid to the Investment Manager.

Beginning January 1, 2014, the management and advisory fee will be calculated as a percentage of the aggregate cost of the Company’s assets as follows:

Time Period	Percent of Aggregate Cost of Assets
January 1, 2014 through January 13, 2015	1.25%
January 14, 2015 through July 13, 2015	1.15%
July 14, 2015 through July 13, 2016	1.00%

The Company pays all expenses incurred in connection with the business of the Company, including fees and expenses of outside contracted services, such as custodian, trustee, administrative, legal, audit andtaxpreparationfees, costs of valuing investments, insurance costs,

brokers’ and finders’ fees relating to investments, and any other transaction costs associated with the purchase and sale of investments of the Company.

5. Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

The Company’s Senior Facility is comprised of a revolving credit facility of $120 million. The Senior Facility matures on July 1, 2014, subject to extension by the lenders for one year at the request of the Company. Amounts borrowed under the Senior Facility bear interest at an annual rate of 3.5% plus LIBOR, EURIBOR, or the federal funds rate, or 3% plus a specified prime lending rate, and are subject to certain collateral requirements. The Company also pays 1.25% per year on the undrawn portions of the Senior Facility. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2013 was 3.6%. The Senior Facility may be terminated, and any outstanding amounts thereunder may become due and payable, should the Company fail to satisfy certain financial or other covenants. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in full compliance with such covenants.

Foreign currency advances are reported in US dollars using the closing rate in effect on the date of valuation. At December 31, 2013, outstanding borrowings included €3,400,000 ($4,672,620) and $105,000,000. Accrued interest included €3,155 ($4,337) and $18,783.

6. Commitments, Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company conducts business with brokers and dealers that are primarily headquartered in New York and Los Angeles, and are members of the major securities exchanges. Banking activities are conducted with a firm headquartered in the New York area.

In the normal course of business, the Company’s investment activities involve executions, settlement and financing of various investment transactions resulting in receivables from, and payables to, brokers, dealers and the Company’s custodian. These activities may expose the Company to risk in the event such parties are unable to fulfill contractual obligations. Management does not anticipate any material losses from counterparties with whom it conducts business.

In August of 2008, the Company agreed to guarantee certain obligations of an affiliated portfolio company and certain of its affiliates up to an aggregate amount of approximately $3.5 million. This amount was increased to approximately $7 million in November of 2008. The guaranty may be terminated by the Company at any time subject to certain conditions. The Company expects the risk of loss from the guaranty to be remote.

Consistent with standard business practice, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications, and is engaged from time to time in various legal actions. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements and activities is unknown. However, the Company expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Related Parties

The Company, the Investment Manager, and their members and affiliates may be considered related parties. From time to time, the Investment Manager advances payments to third parties on behalf of the Company and receives reimbursement from the Company. At December 31, 2013, such reimbursable amounts totaled $228,304 as reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

8. Preferred Capital

Series A-E

Prior to the amendment of the Senior Facility on July 22, 2010, the Company had 3,322 shares of Series A-E preferred equity outstanding with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends upon liquidation.  In connection with the Senior Facility amendment, the remaining outstanding shares were redeemed.

The Company had issued, at inception, one share of its Series S preferred shares to SVOF/MM, LLC, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 plus accumulated but unpaid dividends. SVOF/MM, LLC is controlled by the Investment Manager and owned substantially entirely by the Investment Manager and certain affiliates. In 2005, the Series S preferred share was retired and assumed the status of an authorized but unissued share. Prior to retirement, the Series S preferred shareholder was entitled to receive, as dividends, the amount of the performance allocation pursuant to Note 3, above, which is now payable to the Investment Manager as a performance fee which reduces operating income as reflected in the Statement of Operations. The retirement of the Series S preferred share had no impact on any shareholder other than the Series S preferred shareholder.

Series Z

The Company has 400 shares of Series Z preferred equity outstanding, each having a liquidation preference of $500 plus accumulated but unpaid dividends and paying dividends at an annual rate equal to 4% of the liquidation preference. The Series Z preferred shares are redeemable at any time at the option of the Company and may only be transferred with the consent of the Company.

⁽¹⁾ Per share changes in net asset value are computed based on the actual number of shares outstanding during the time in which such activity occurred.

⁽²⁾ Return on invested assets is a time-weighted, geometrically linked rate of return and excludes cash and cash equivalents.

⁽³⁾ Returns (net of dividends to preferred shareholders and fund expenses, including financing costs and management and performance fees) calculated on a monthly geometrically linked, time-weighted basis.

⁽⁴⁾ These ratios included interest expense but do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to preferred shareholders.

⁽⁵⁾ Net of dividends to preferred shareholders and fund expenses, including financing costs and management and performance fees. Internal rate of return (“IRR”) is the imputed annual return over an investment period and, mathematically, is the rate of return at which the discounted cash flows equal the initial cash outlays. The IRR presented assumes liquidation of the Company at net asset value as of the balance sheet date.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

TENNENBAUM CAPITAL PARTNERS, LLC
PROXY VOTING POLICY

This policy has been adopted by Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC to facilitate the voting of proxies relating to portfolio securities of clients with respect to which Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC or any of its affiliates that are subject to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (collectively “Tennenbaum”) provide investment advisory services. In connection with these investment advisory services, Tennenbaum exercises voting responsibilities for its clients through its corporate proxy voting process.

Special Value Opportunities Fund, LLC, Special Value Expansion Fund, LLC, Special Value Continuation Fund, LLC, TCP Capital Corp., Tennenbaum Opportunities Fund V, LLC, and Tennenbaum Opportunities Partners V, LP have delegated to Tennenbaum the authority to vote proxies relating to their respective portfolio securities in accordance with this policy.

This policy is intended by Tennenbaum (i) to constitute “written policies and procedures” as described in Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) and (ii) to constitute proxy voting policies and procedures referred to in Item 18 of Form N-2 adopted under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).

Definitions

“Client” means any person with whom Tennenbaum has a contract to perform discretionary investment management services and for whom Tennenbaum is authorized by the contract or required by applicable law to vote or consider voting securities held in the Client’s account.

“Compliance Officer” means the Chief Compliance Officer, Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC.

“Conflict of Interest” means, as to any Client, any conflict between a pecuniary interest of Tennenbaum or any of its affiliates (other than such Client, if deemed an affiliate) and the duties of Tennenbaum to the Client.

“Investment Committee” means the Investment Committee of Tennenbaum or such committee to which it shall have delegated the functions of the Investment Committee hereunder.

“Portfolio Manager” means, with respect to a Client, the particular Tennenbaum entity providing investment advisory services to such Client and the senior personnel responsible for such entity’s investment decisions.

“Proxy Voting Coordinator” means the individual appointed from time to time by Investment Committee to perform the proxy voting coordination functions described in this policy.

“Registered Fund” means any Client registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

“Social Issues” means any issue presented for a vote of holders of any security which is held in an account on behalf of a Client which may reasonably be interpreted as (i) unrelated in any substantial respect to the voting objective of this policy and (ii) intended to promote directly or indirectly the interests of persons who are not holders of the relevant security.

“Tennenbaum” means Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC and each of its affiliates that is subject to registration under the Advisers Act or is otherwise subject to the rules and regulations thereunder generally, including, specifically, Rule 206(4)-6.

“Voting Results” means the specific information described under the caption “Accumulating Voting Results.”

Objectives

This policy defines procedures for voting securities held on behalf of each Client in respect of which Tennenbaum has the discretionary authority to vote, to ensure that such securities are voted for the benefit of and in the best interest of the Client. The primary objective of voting a security in each case under this policy is to seek to enhance the value of the investment which the security represents or to reduce the potential for a decline in the value of the investment which the security represents. In appropriate cases a related objective will be to obtain or maintain influence or control over management of a company.

This policy does not prescribe specific voting requirements. Instead, this policy provides procedures for (i) assembling voting information and applying the informed expertise and judgment of Tennenbaum’s personnel on a timely basis in pursuit of the above stated voting objectives and (ii) addressing conflicts of interest.

A further element of this policy is that while voting on all issues presented should be considered, voting on all issues is not required. Some issues presented for a vote of security holders are not relevant to this policy’s voting objectives, or it is not reasonably possible to ascertain what effect, if any, a vote on a given issue may have on the value of an investment. Accordingly, Tennenbaum may abstain from voting or decline a vote in those cases where, in Tennenbaum’s judgment (i) there is no relationship between the issue and the enhancement or preservation of an investment’s value or (ii) the achievement of the Client’s investment objectives are not reasonably likely to be a function of the outcome of decisions or issues presented by the vote.

Resolutions of Conflicts of Interest

It is unlikely that conflicts of interest will arise in the context of Tennenbaum’s proxy voting, because Tennenbaum does not engage in investment banking, the advising of public companies or, except in cases where it exercises control, the managing of public companies.

In addition, insofar as Tennenbaum refers discretionary votes to its portfolio managers, portfolio managers are required to disclose any personal or business relationship that they or their immediate family members may have with an issuer soliciting proxies from Tennenbaum’s Clients. If a portfolio manager conflict is identified with respect to a given proxy vote, the Investment Committee will remove such vote from the conflicted portfolio manager and will instead consider and cast the vote, refer the vote to an independent third party or abstain from voting.

In the event a privately-placed security as to which Tennenbaum or its affiliated adviser entities negotiated more than price related terms is held by a Registered Fund and is the subject of a proxy solicitation or other voting or consent solicitation, and any unregistered fund or separate account managed by Tennenbaum or its affiliated adviser entities also owns securities of the same class as the security held by the Registered Fund that is the subject of the proxy, vote or consent, then Tennenbaum will vote such security in the same manner, at the same time and in amounts proportionate to each such entity’s or account’s investment in such security; provided that if Tennenbaum or its affiliated adviser entities believes that the foregoing policy is not in the best interests of a particular Client in a particular situation, Tennenbaum or its affiliated adviser entities shall be permitted to deviate from the foregoing policy only if it has (i) submitted a proposal to the boards of directors of each applicable Registered Fund explaining the basis for such deviation and (ii) received the approval of a majority of those directors of the Registered Fund who (a) during the previous two years have had no material business or professional relationship with any of the Registered Fund or any other entity or separate account managed by Tennenbaum or its affiliated adviser entities (other than as a director of the Registered Fund) and (b) have no direct or indirect financial interest in the proxy solicitation, vote or consent other than through an investment in one or more of the Registered Fund or any other entity or separate account managed by Tennenbaum or its affiliated adviser entities.

In the event that a potential material conflict of interest does arise and is not addressed by the foregoing procedures, the primary means by which Tennenbaum avoids a material conflict of interest in the voting of proxies for its clients is by casting such votes solely in the interests of its Clients and in the interests of maximizing the value of their portfolio holdings.

Proxy Voting Coordinator

The Investment Committee shall appoint a Proxy Voting Coordinator. The Proxy Voting Coordinator shall discharge the following functions in effectuating this policy:

(i) Collecting and assembling proxy statement and other communication pertaining to proxy voting, together with proxies or other means of voting or giving voting instructions, and providing those materials to the appropriate portfolio managers to permit timely voting of proxies;

(ii) Collecting recommendations, analysis, commentary and other information respecting subjects of proxy votes, from service providers engaged by Tennenbaum and other services specified by portfolio managers, and providing this information to the appropriate portfolio managers to permit evaluation of proxy voting issues;

(iii) Providing to appropriate portfolio managers any specific voting instructions from Clients that are entitled to provide such instructions under the applicable investment advisory agreement;

(iv) Collecting proxy votes or instructions from portfolio managers, and transmitting the votes or instructions to the appropriate custodians, brokers, nominees or other persons (which may include proxy voting services or agents engaged by Tennenbaum);

(v) Accumulating Voting Results as set forth below in this policy and transmitting that information to the Compliance Officer in a timely manner; and

(vi) Participating in the annual review of the policy function as set forth in this policy.

THE PROXY VOTING COORDINATOR MAY, WITH THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE’S APPROVAL, DELEGATE ANY PORTION OR ALL OF ANY ONE OR MORE OF THESE FUNCTIONS TO ONE OR MORE OTHER INDIVIDUALS EMPLOYED BY TENNENBAUM. ANY PORTION OR ALL OF ANY ONE OR MORE OF THESE FUNCTIONS MAY BE PERFORMED BY SERVICE PROVIDERS ENGAGED BY TENNENBAUM.

Assembling Voting Information

The Proxy Voting Coordinator shall obtain proxy statements and other communications pertaining to proxy voting, together with proxies or other means of voting or giving voting instructions to custodians, brokers, nominees, tabulators or others in a manner to permit voting on relevant issues in a timely manner. Tennenbaum may engage service provides and other third parties to assemble this information, digest, abstract the information where necessary or desirable, and deliver it to the individuals assigned by Tennenbaum to evaluate proxy voting issues.

Portfolio Managers

The Portfolio Manager responsible for a particular Client is responsible for the timely voting (or determining not to vote in the appropriate cases) of proxies relating to the securities held on behalf of such Client in accordance with this policy. The Portfolio Manager may, to the extent not prohibited by agreement(s) setting forth its contractual obligations to such Client, and consistent with its fiduciary duties, delegate voting responsibilities to one or more other Portfolio Managers or other individuals. Portfolio managers are authorized to consider voting recommendations and other information and analysis provided by service providers (including proxy voting services) engaged by Tennenbaum.

Accumulating Voting Results

The Proxy Voting Coordinator is responsible for reporting the following information respecting the voting of each proxy to the Compliance Officer, as to each matter relating to a portfolio security held for a Client, considered at a shareholder meeting, and with respect to which the Client was entitled to vote:

(i) The name of the issuer of the portfolio security;

(ii) The exchange ticker symbol of the portfolio security;

(iii) The CUSIP number for the portfolio security;

(iv) The shareholder meeting date;

(v) A brief identification of the matter voted on;

(vi) Whether a vote was cast on the matter;

(vii) How the vote was cast on the matter (e.g., for or against the proposal, or abstain, etc.);

(viii) Whether a vote was cast for or against management.

The foregoing information must be delivered to the Compliance Officer no later than July 31, for each 12 month period ending on the preceding June 30 commencing July 31, 2004 with respect to the period ending June 30, 2004. Tennenbaum may use third party service providers to record, accumulate and deliver the foregoing information to the Compliance Officer. The Proxy Voting Coordinator may, with the Investment Committee’s approval, delegate any portion or all of this function to one or more other individuals employed by Tennenbaum.

Communicating Votes

The Proxy Voting Coordinator shall communicate decisions on proxy votes to the custodian or to other persons who transmit or record votes on portfolio securities held by or for each Client in a timely manner. The Proxy Voting Coordinator may, with the Investment Committee’s approval, delegate any portion or all of this function to one or more individuals employed by Tennenbaum. Tennenbaum may engage one or more service providers to facilitate timely communication of proxy votes. Tennenbaum is not responsible for voting proxies that are not forwarded on a timely basis. Tennenbaum does not control the setting of record dates, shareholder meeting dates or the timing of distribution of proxy materials and ballots relating to shareholder votes as a general matter.

Record of Voting Delegation

The Compliance Officer shall maintain a list of all Clients with a specification as to each Client whether or not Tennenbaum is authorized to vote proxies respecting the Client’s portfolio securities.

Annual Review of Policy Function

The Compliance Officer shall conduct a periodic review, no less often than annually, which shall comprise the following elements:

(Ii) Review samples of the record of voting delegation maintained by the Compliance Officer against Voting Results to determine if Tennenbaum is exercising its authority to vote proxies on portfolio securities held on behalf of the selected Clients;

(ii) Request and review voting data to determine if timely communication of proxy votes is reasonably accomplished during the relevant period;

(iii) Meet with the Proxy Voting Coordinator to review the voting of proxies, communication of proxy votes, accumulation of Voting Results and the general functioning of this policy; and

(iv) Prepare a written report to the Investment Committee respecting the foregoing items and, if requested to do so by the Investment Committee, prepare a written report to the board of any Registered Fund.

Disclosure and Comments on Voting

Tennenbaum will provide a copy of these policies and procedures to Clients upon request. Clients may also obtain information on how portfolio securities held on their behalf were voted by written request and addressed to Tennenbaum, Proxy Voting Coordinator. It is the policy of Tennenbaum not to comment on specific proxy votes with respect to securities held for a Client in response to inquiries from persons who are not specifically or authorized representative of such Client. The Investment Committee may authorize comments in specific cases, in its discretion.

Joining Insurgent or Voting Committees

It is the policy of Tennenbaum, for itself and its Clients, not to join any insurgent or voting committee or similar group unless doing so is consistent with the Client’s investment objective. The Investment Committee may, in other circumstances, approve participation in any such committee or group in its discretion, and shall advise the authorized representative of the Client of any such action.

Social Issues

It is the presumption of this policy that proxies shall not be voted on Social Issues, unless the advisory agreement with the Client provides otherwise. The Investment Committee may approve voting of any security held on behalf of a Client on any Social Issue.

Recordkeeping

The Compliance Officer shall maintain the following records:

(i) Copies of this policy as from time to time revised or supplemented;

(ii) A copy of each proxy statement that Tennenbaum receives regarding Client securities;

(vi) Communications to Client respecting Conflicts of Interest; and

(vii) All written reports arising from annual reviews of policy function.

The Compliance Officer shall maintain and preserve in his office the foregoing records for a period of not less than five years from the end of Tennenbaum’ fiscal year during which the last entry was made on the record the first two years in an appropriate office of Tennenbaum. The Compliance Officer may use the Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR database for the items referred to in item (ii) above, and the Investment Committee may authorize the Compliance Officer to engage one or more service providers to perform any portion of this recordkeeping function provided (1) the function is performed in compliance with applicable governmental regulations and (2) each service provider provides a written undertaking to furnish the records to Tennenbaum promptly upon request.

ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

(a) (1) As of the date of the filing of this report, the five persons with the most significant responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Registrant’s portfolio are Mark K. Holdsworth, Michael E. Leitner, Howard M. Levkowitz, Richard E. Spencer II, and Rajneesh Vig (together, the “Portfolio Managers”). The titles, business experience, and length of service of Messrs. Holdsworth, Leitner, Levkowitz, and Vig (together, the “TCP Portfolio Managers”) are included in the “Directors and Officers” section of the Annual Shareholder Report in Item 1. The title, business experience, and length of service of Mr. Spencer is as follows:

Mr. Spencer leads Babson Capital’s Fund Investments & Advisory operation (“Babson”), the registrant’s co-manager, and is a voting member of the Investment Committee of Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (the “Investment Manager”) as a representative of Babson. He is responsible for the management of a team of investment professionals originating, analyzing, structuring and documenting private equity fund and direct equity co-investments across multiple alternative equity strategies. Mr. Spencer has 28 years of industry experience. Mr. Spencer joined MassMutual in 1989 after three years as a corporate loan analyst at a major New England bank and most recently co-lead Babson's Mezzanine and Private Equity Group for 13 years. He is Vice President of  Babson Capital Corporate Investors and  Babson Capital Participation Investors and Manager of Mezzco LLC, Mezzco II LLC, Mezzco III LLC, and Mezzco IV LLC, the respective General Partners of Tower Square Capital Partners I, L.P., Tower Square Capital Partners II, L.P., Tower Square Capital Partners III, L.P., and Tower Square Capital Partners IV, L.P., Babson's four private mezzanine funds. Mr. Spencer is active as a voting member on the investment committee for the four private mezzanine funds as well as  three absolute return funds co-managed by the Investment Manager and Babson. He holds a B.A. in Economics and History from Bucknell University, an M.B.A. from the State University of New York at Buffalo and is a member of the CFA Institute.

(a) (2) The information below lists the number of other accounts for which each Portfolio Manager was primarily responsible for the day-to-day management as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013:

Name of Portfolio Manager	Type of Account	Total No. of Other Accounts Managed	Total Other Assets (in millions)
Mark K. Holdsworth	Registered Investment Companies: Other Pooled Investment Vehicles: Business Development Companies:	3 3 2	$ 1,507.9 $ 441.7 $ 803.3
Michael E. Leitner	Registered Investment Companies: Other Pooled Investment Vehicles: Business Development Companies:	3 7 2	$ 1,507.9 $ 965.0 $ 803.3

Howard M. Levkowitz	Registered Investment Companies: Other Pooled Investment Vehicles: Business Development Companies:	3 8 2	$ 1,507.9 $ 966.5 $ 803.3
Richard E. Spencer II	Registered Investment Companies:	2	$  1,342.5
Rajneesh Vig	Registered Investment Companies: Other Pooled Investment Vehicles: Business Development Companies:	3 2 2	$ 1,507.9 $ 440.1 $ 803.3

The advisory compensation of each of these accounts, with the exception of one of the other pooled investment vehicles, is based in part on the performance of the account during periods where such account meets minimum performance requirements.

Mr. Spencer has day to day responsibility over the management of a $3.8 billion private equity portfolio in MassMutual’s General Investment Account as well as responsibility for the management of Babson advisory accounts (together, the “Babson Accounts”), including two registered investment companies with combined assets of approximately $400.0 million and four other pooled investment vehicles with combined assets of approximately $1.5 billion, each as of December 31, 2013. The advisory fee of each of the four aforementioned Babson Accounts that are other pooled investment vehicles is based in part on the performance of the account.

Material conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with the Portfolio Managers’ management of the Registrant’s investments, on the one hand, and the investments of the Other TCP Accounts, on the other, include the following:

The Other TCP Accounts may invest in assets eligible for purchase by the Registrant. The investment policies, fee arrangements and other circumstances of the Registrant may vary from those of the Other TCP Accounts. Accordingly, conflicts may arise regarding the allocation of investments or opportunities among the Registrant and the Other TCP Accounts. In general, and except with respect to any of the Other TCP Accounts that are being wound down or are feeder funds of one of the Other TCP Accounts, the Investment Manager and its affiliates will allocate investment opportunities pro rata among the Registrant and the Other TCP Accounts (assuming the investment satisfies the objectives of each) based on the amount of funds each then has available for such investment and under management by the Investment Manager and its affiliates. Investment opportunities in privately placed securities are subject to allocation procedures adopted by the Board of Directors and the terms of the co-investment exemptive order obtained for the Registrant. In certain cases, investment opportunities may be made other than on a pro rata basis. For example, the Investment Manager may determine that it is appropriate for the Registrant to retain an asset at the same time that one or more of the Other Accounts sells it. The Investment Manager and its affiliates intend to allocate investment opportunities to the Registrant and the Other TCP Accounts in a manner that they believe in their judgment and based upon their fiduciary duties to be appropriate given the investment objectives, size of transaction, investable assets, alternative investments potentially available, prior allocations, liquidity, maturity, expected holding period, diversification, lender covenants and other limitations of the Registrant and the Other TCP Accounts. All of the foregoing procedures could in certain circumstances affect adversely the price paid or received by the Registrant or the availability or size of a particular investment purchased or sold by the Registrant.

(a) (3) Each of the TCP Portfolio Managers receives a fixed salary from the Investment Manager. Additionally, each of the TCP Portfolio Managers receives fixed periodic distributions from the Investment Manager. Further, each of the TCP Portfolio Managers receives periodic pro rata distributions of any profits of the Investment Manager based on his equity interest therein. Such distributions include performance fees paid to the Investment Manager by the Registrant and the other registered investment company that pays performance fees. Performance allocations from the other registered investment companies that are limited partnerships (the “LPs”) are paid to the general partner of the LPs (the “General Partner”). Performance allocations from the other pooled investment vehicles are paid to the managing member of each such vehicle (together, the “Managing Members”). Each of the TCP Portfolio Managers receives periodic pro rata distributions of any profits of the Managing Members and the General Partner, based on his equity interests therein. Messrs. Leitner and Vig do not currently have equity interests in the managing members of one of the other pooled investment vehicles. Except as otherwise agreed, each of the TCP Portfolio Managers is also eligible for a discretionary bonus paid by the Investment Manager based on an assessment by the Investment Manager of the TCP Portfolio Manager’s relative contribution to the Investment Manager’s overall activities.

Mr. Spencer is compensated by Babson for his services. His compensation package is comprised of a market-driven base salary, a performance-driven annual bonus, and discretionary long-term incentives. The performance-driven bonus is based on the performance of the Babson Accounts relative to appropriate benchmarks, including with respect to the Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Credit and the S & P Industrial Index, in addition to the Russell 2000 Index and Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index. Performance of the Babson Accounts are evaluated on a pre-tax basis, and are reviewed over one and three-year periods, with greater emphasis given to the latter. There are other factors that affect bonus awards to a lesser extent, such as client satisfaction, teamwork, the assets under management, and the overall success of Babson. Such factors are considered as a part of the overall annual bonus evaluation process by the management of Babson. Long-term incentives are designed to share with participants the longer-term value created in Babson. Long-term incentives may take the form of deferred cash awards (including deferred cash awards that provide Mr. Spencer with the economic equivalent of a “shareholder” interest in the firm by linking the value of the award to a formula which ties to the value of the business), and/or a deferred cash award or a direct profit sharing interest that results in Mr. Spencer receiving amounts based on the amount of the performance fee paid by such fund. These long-term incentives vest over time and are granted annually, based upon the same criteria used to determine the performance-driven annual bonus detailed above. Because Mr. Spencer is responsible for multiple accounts, he is compensated on the overall performance of the accounts that he manages, rather than a specific account, except for the portion of compensation relating to any performance fee award. Mr. Spencer also receives a percentage of the performance compensation Babson receives for its services to the registered investment companies that are managed by the Investment Manager and co-managed by Babson.

(a) (4) The dollar range of equity securities in the Registrant beneficially owned by each of the Portfolio Managers at December 31, 2013 is as follows:

Mark K. Holdsworth	$500,001-$1,000,000
Michael E. Leitner	$50,001-$100,000
Howard M. Levkowitz	$500,001-$1,000,000
