The Management Agreement was most recently approved by the Board of Trustees at a meeting held on February 23, 2022. The Management Agreement shall continue in effect from year to year only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, and by the vote of a majority of Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as revised (the “1940 Act”), of any such party, at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement is terminable without penalty (i) by the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, by the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, upon 60 days’ written notice to the Adviser; and (ii) by the Adviser upon 60 days’ written notice to the Fund. The Management Agreement provides that it will automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
The Management Agreement provides that the Adviser, except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Management Agreement, will not be subject to liability for, or damages, expenses or losses incurred by the Trust in connection with any error of judgment, mistake of law, any act or omission connected with or arising out of any services rendered under, or payment made pursuant to the Management Agreement, or any other matter to which the Management Agreement relates.
Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee of 1.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

BOARD APPROVAL AND EVALUATION OF NEW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
At an in-person meeting of the Board of Trustees held November 22, 2021 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees approved Millrace Asset Group, Inc. (“Millrace”) to serve as an additional sub-adviser to the Fund. At the Meeting, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed the various factors relevant to its consideration of the sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Millrace on behalf of the Fund (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), as well as the Board of Trustees’ legal responsibilities related to such consideration. After analysis and discussions of the factors identified below, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term.
Millrace Asset Group, Inc.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Millrace to the Fund:
The Trustees noted that, as a sub-adviser to the Fund, Millrace will research investment opportunities, select investments, provide compliance services and trade execution for its allocation of the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also noted that Millrace managed approximately $184 million in assets through
two investment partnerships. The Trustees reviewed the responsibilities of Millrace’s key individuals, noting the experience and backgrounds of these individuals. The Trustees noted that Millrace has certified that it adopted a code of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act. A representative of the Adviser explained to the Trustees that the Adviser had identified Millrace as a potential subadviser after conducting significant due diligence on Millrace’s investment, operational and compliance resources and capabilities.
The Trustees further noted Millrace’s overall long/short equity strategy and corresponding investment risks. The Trustees reviewed Millrace’s compliance process including its monitoring of Investment Company Act restrictions as diversification, leverage and liquidity. Counsel noted that Millrace did not report any material compliance issues or material litigations in the past 36 months. Counsel and the CCO did note that Millrace did have a routine examination conducted by the SEC which concluded in June 2021 with no material findings. After a discussion, the Trustees concluded that Millrace was well-suited to perform the services as a sub-adviser to the Fund.
The Trustees noted that Millrace was in the process of obtaining an Officers’ (“E&O/D&O”) policy. The Trustees concluded that Millrace was appropriately resourced and has a depth of experienced personnel and the investment expertise to provide high quality services to the Fund.
Investment Performance of Millrace:
The Trustees considered the investment performance of Millrace’s representative account for its long/short equity strategy, which the Trustees noted is a reasonable substitute as a reference performance record. Counsel indicated that the representative fund account reported 1, 5 and 10-year and since inception returns that outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the HFRI Equity Hedge Index. After a discussion, the Trustees concluded that it was reasonable that Millrace would provide satisfactory performance.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to be Realized and Extent of Economies of Scale to be Realized:
The Trustees considered the proposed sub-advisory fee was lower than the fee charged by Millrace to its investment partnerships. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable. The Trustees considered whether there will be economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund. The Trustees agreed that this was primarily an adviser-level issue and should be considered with respect to the overall advisory contract, taking into consideration the impact of the sub-advisory expense. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Trustees that a lack of breakpoints was acceptable.
The Trustees considered the anticipated profits to be realized by Millrace in connection with its relationship with the Fund and whether the amount of profit is reasonable with respect to the sub-advisory services to be provided to the Fund. The Trustees noted that Millrace estimates realizing a small profit, both in terms of percentage of revenue as well as actual dollars, based on the amount of assets that Millrace is expected to manage initially. After a discussion, the Trustees concluded that the anticipated level of profit was not excessive.
Conclusions: Having requested and received such information from Millrace as the Trustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the
advice of counsel, the Trustees concluded that the fee structure is reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund.
INFORMATION REGARDING THE SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Sub-Advisory Agreement was approved by the Board of Trustees at the Meeting for an initial term of two years to commence on the date on which the Adviser allocates Fund assets to the sub-adviser for management. Thereafter, continuance of the Sub-Advisory Agreement will require annual approval by the Board of Trustees or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, and by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Sub-Advisory Agreement or interested persons of any such party. The Sub-Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty (i) by the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, by the Board of Trustees, by the Adviser or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, upon 60 days’ written notice to the sub-adviser, and (ii) by the sub-adviser upon 60 days’ written notice. The Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that it will terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” within the meaning of the 1940 Act, except as otherwise provided by applicable law or the exemptive order.
The Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that Millrace, among other duties, will make all investment decisions for the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to the sub-adviser as described in the Fund’s prospectus. The sub-adviser, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees and the Adviser, will conduct an ongoing program of investment, evaluation, and, if appropriate, sale and reinvestment of the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to Millrace. The sub-adviser also will perform certain other administrative and compliance-related functions in connection with the management of its allocated portion of the Fund’s assets.
The Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser will compensate the sub-adviser at an incremental rate based on the Fund’s average daily net assets allocated to the sub-adviser by the Adviser, payable monthly. The Adviser compensates the sub-advisers from the management fees that it receives from the Fund. Millrace generally will pay all expenses it incurs in connection with its activities under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, other than the costs of the Fund’s portfolio securities and other investments.
