outperformed
its
benchmark,
the
Bloomberg
U.S.
High
Yield
2%
Issuer
Capped
Bond
Index,
in
the
six
months
ended
November
30,
2022.
Credit
selection—most
notably
in
the
automotive
and
information
technology
segments—drove
the
portfolio’s
relative
performance.
We
focused
on
concentrating
the
portfolio’s
holdings
in
our
highest-conviction
high
yield
bonds.
Although
higher
interest
rates
and
concerns
about
the
possibility
of
a
recession
have
created
a
more
challenging
macro
environment,
we
believe
fundamental
conditions
in
the
high
yield
asset
class
and
its
underlying
credit
quality
remain
solid.

Market
Commentary
Dear
Shareholder
Global
stock
markets
generally
produced
negative
returns
during
the
first
half
of
your
fund’s
fiscal
year,
the
six-month
period
ended
November
30,
2022,
while
rising
bond
yields
weighed
on
returns
for
fixed
income
investors.
Investors
contended
with
tightening
financial
conditions
and
slowing
economic
and
corporate
earnings
growth,
but
hopes
that
persistently
high
inflation
might
be
easing
helped
spark
a
rally
late
in
the
period
that
partially
offset
earlier
losses.
In
the
U.S.,
equity
results
were
mixed.
The
Dow
Jones
Industrial
Average
recorded
positive
results
and
mid-cap
growth
stocks
also
performed
well,
while
most
other
benchmarks
finished
in
negative
territory.
The
S&P
500
Index
was
modestly
negative
for
the
period,
but
results
varied
widely
at
the
sector
level,
with
industrials
and
energy
shares
delivering
strong
gains
while
communication
services
stocks
struggled.
Outside
the
U.S.,
most
major
country
and
regional
benchmarks
lost
ground.
Emerging
markets
stocks
generally
underperformed
shares
in
developed
markets.
Meanwhile,
the
U.S.
dollar
strengthened
versus
most
currencies
during
the
period,
which
weighed
on
returns
for
U.S.
investors
in
international
securities.
Elevated
inflation
remained
a
leading
concern
for
investors
throughout
the
period,
although
hopes
that
inflation
may
have
peaked
led
to
rallies
during
the
summer
and
again
in
November.
The
October
consumer
price
index
report,
which
was
released
in
mid-November,
was
better
than
expected
and
showed
price
increases
easing
from
recent
40-year
highs.
However,
the
7.7%
year-over-
year
increase
in
the
headline
inflation
number
remained
well
above
the
Fed’s
2%
target.
In
response
to
the
high
inflation
readings,
global
central
banks
continued
to
tighten
monetary
policy,
and
investors
focused
on
communications
from
central
bank
officials
on
how
high
rates
would
have
to
go.
The
Federal
Reserve
delivered
four
historically
large
75-basis-point
(0.75
percentage
point)
rate
hikes
during
the
period,
which
lifted
its
short-term
lending
benchmark
to
a
target
range
of
3.75%
to
4.00%
by
early
November,
the
highest
level
since
2008.
As
our
reporting
period
came
to
an
end,
Fed
officials
signaled
that
they
were
likely
to
dial
back
the
pace
of
rate
increases.
Bond
yields
increased
considerably
across
the
Treasury
yield
curve
as
the
Fed
tightened
monetary
policy,
with
the
yield
on
the
benchmark
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
note
climbing
from
2.85%
at
the
start
of
the
period
to
3.68%
at
the
end
of
November.
Significant
inversions
in
the
Treasury
curve,
which
are
often
considered
a
warning
sign
of
a
coming
recession,
occurred
during
the
period
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Credit
Opportunities
Fund
as
shorter-maturity
Treasuries
experienced
the
largest
yield
increases.
The
sharp
increase
in
yields
led
to
generally
negative
results
across
the
fixed
income
market
as
bond
prices
and
yields
move
in
opposite
directions.
On
a
positive
note,
the
U.S.
jobs
market
remained
resilient
during
the
period,
and
overall
economic
growth
turned
positive
in
the
third
quarter
after
two
slightly
negative
quarters.
However,
recession
fears
also
grew
as
corporate
earnings
slowed
and
manufacturing
gauges
drifted
toward
contraction
levels.
In
addition,
the
housing
market
began
to
weaken
as
mortgage
rates
climbed
to
the
highest
level
in
more
than
20
years.
The
past
year
has
been
a
trying
time
for
investors
as
few
sectors
remained
untouched
by
the
broad
headwinds
that
markets
faced,
and
volatility
may
continue
in
the
near
term
as
central
banks
tighten
policy
amid
slowing
economic
growth.
However,
in
our
view,
valuations
have
become
more
attractive
across
many
market
sectors
during
the
downturn,
which
provides
potential
opportunities
for
selective
investors
focused
on
fundamentals.
We
believe
this
environment
makes
skilled
active
management
a
critical
tool
for
identifying
risks
and
opportunities,
and
our
investment
teams
will
continue
to
use
fundamental
research
to
identify
securities
that
can
add
value
to
your
portfolio
over
the
long
term.

COMMENTARY
How
did
the
fund
perform
in
the
past six
months?
The
Credit
Opportunities
Fund
returned
-2.41%
in
the
six
months
ended
November
30,
2022,
outperforming
its
benchmark,
the

)
What
factors
influenced
the
fund’s
performance?
Credit
selection
and
the
portfolio’s
overweight
allocation
in
the
automotive
segment—an
industry
that
we
believe
has
already
experienced
its
downturn
over
the
past
two
years—aided
relative
performance.
American
electric
vehicle
manufacturer
Rivian
was
a
top
contributor
during
the
period.
The
company
is
developing
vehicles
primarily
targeting
the
attractive
truck,
SUV,
and
commercial
vehicle
end
market
segments. Amazon
is
an
owner
and
also
has
a
large
business-to-business
contract
with
Rivian,
which
should
cushion
demand
volatility
and
support
operating
leverage. (Please
refer
to
the
portfolio
of

a
complete
list
of
holdings
and

Our
investment
in
Tenneco—a
company
that
designs,
manufactures,
and
markets
emission
control
and
ride
control
products
and
systems
for
the
automotive
original
equipment
market
and
the
aftermarket—was
beneficial.
The
bonds
were
redeemed
at
a
premium—a
positive
outcome
and
meaningful
driver
of
relative
performance
in
the
midst
of
a
bond
market
sell-off—after
Tenneco
was
acquired
by
Apollo
Global
Management.

Security
selection
in
the
information
technology
segment
added
value,
partly
due
to
the
portfolio’s
zero
weight
in
online
used
car
retailer
Carvana.
The
company
is
experiencing
somewhat
of
an
existential
crisis
as
the
decline
in
used
car
prices
from
elevated
levels
in
2021
has
fostered
concerns
about
its
profitability
and
ability
to
survive.
The
bonds
also
came
under
pressure
as
Carvana
encountered
headwinds
from
cost-cutting
measures,
overcapacity
issues
in
the
wake
of
its
acquisition
of
ADESA’s
auction
business,
and
an
overleveraged
balance
sheet.
The
portfolio’s
overweight
allocation
and
credit
selection
in
the
utilities
industry
were
beneficial.
One
of
our
holdings,
Vistra,
operates
as
a
power
company
offering
power
generation,
distribution,
and
transmission
solutions.
We
have
a
favorable
view
of
Vistra’s
power
generation
plus
retail
business
model,
which
allows
the
company
to
naturally
hedge
its
generation
book,
and
we
continue
to
like
its
credit
story.
We
own
some
attractive
7%
and
8%
preferred
securities
in
this
capital
structure.
In
the
wireless
communications
segment,
a
second-lien
loan
position
in
Asurion,
the
world’s
leading
provider
of
mobile
protection
services,
detracted.
Second
liens
are
a
step
lower
in
the
capital
structure
and,
likewise,
tend
to
be
lower
in
credit
quality.
But
these
loans
generally
pay
higher
interest
to
compensate
for
the
additional
risk.
Furthermore,
they
often
come
with
hard
call
protection,
an
attractive
feature
not
often
seen
in
the
bank
loan
(also
known
as
leveraged
loans)
market.
Asurion’s
somewhat
disappointing
second-
quarter
financial
results,
some
concerns
about
increasing
competition,
as
well
as
its
large
liquid
loan
capital
structure
contributed
to
weakness
during
a
period
of
loan
market
outflows.
After
recently
visiting
the
company,
however,
we
are
confident
in
Asurion’s
ability
to
renew
key
customer
contracts
and
retain
its
dominant
share
while
producing
sizable
free
cash
flow.
For-profit
hospital
system
Community
Health
Systems
(CYH)
was
a
notable
detractor
in
the
health
care
segment.
The
bonds
traded
down
as
the
expected
non-COVID
volume
recovery
post
omicron
variant
did
not
materialize
in
the
second-quarter
as
revenue
and
EBITDA
declined.
Management
also
lowered
guidance
for
full-year
adjusted
earnings
due
to
higher
labor
cost
estimates.
However,
CYH
remains
a
high-conviction
holding
that
continues
to
generate
positive
free
cash
flow,
the
company
has
no
maturities
until
2026,
and
management
is
committed
to
further
reducing
leverage.
Security
selection
among
cable
operators
dragged,
partly
due
to
wireless
telecommunications
services
provider
Altice
France.
Although
the
company
reported
second-quarter
financial
results
that
were largely
in
line
with
expectations,
much
of
the
capital
structure
sold
off
recently
amid
duration
T.
ROWE
PRICE

concerns
and
general
market
weakness.
We
are
maintaining
our
conviction,
however,
as
the
company
reiterated
its
midterm
guidance
of
operating
free
cash
flow
growth
of
€1
billion
on
the
back
of
increased
revenues
and
EBITDA,
as
well
as
reduced
capital
expenditures.
How
is
the
fund
positioned?
This
portfolio
is
structured
to
offer
flexible
and
concentrated
exposure
to
our
highest-conviction
high
yield
bonds
and
bank
loans.
Most
of
the
portfolio
taps
in
to
the
repeatable,
traditional
high
yield
and
bank
loan
credit
research
process
that
defines
the
T.
Rowe
Price
high
yield
platform.
The
fund’s
flexible
mandate
allows
for
more
aggressive
or
conservative
positioning
as
the
opportunity
set
dictates,
and
we
have
the
ability
to
layer
in
special
credit
situations.
In
these
special
situations,
we
look
for
jurisdictions
in
which
we
know
our
rights
and
remedies
and
spend
meaningful
time
on
asset
valuation
and
assessing
potential
outcomes.
When
we
do
participate
in
selective
situations,
we
stay
in
liquid,
freely
tradeable
instruments
and
seek
to
be
active
members
of
creditor
committees
so
that
we
can
have
a
significant
impact
on
our
outcome.
These
holdings,
while
limited
in
number,
can
offer
the
potential
for
meaningful
total
return,
and
they
are
another
factor
differentiating
this
portfolio
from
traditional
high
yield
bond
funds.

Two
special
situations
in
which
we
invested—Puerto
Rico’s
general
obligation
bond
and
multinational
satellite
services
provider
Intelsat’s
secured
debt—came
to
successful
conclusions
during
the
first
quarter.
Since
that
time,
we
have
focused
on
concentrating
the
portfolio’s
holdings
in
our
highest-conviction
high
yield
bonds.
Over
the
past
six
months,
the
loan
asset
class
significantly
outperformed
high
yield
bonds.
However,
we
began
rotating
out
of
leveraged
loans
in
early
2022
as
bond
valuations
became
more
attractive.
By
the
end
of
November,
we
had
actively
managed
our
bank
loan
position
down
to
11%
while
also
reducing
the
portfolio’s
exposure
to
CCC
rated
bonds.
We
used
the
proceeds
from
these
sales
to
increase
the
portfolio’s
overall
credit
quality
by
augmenting
our
investments
in
B
and
BB
rated
bonds
where
we
found
attractive
value.
Overall,
industry
shifts
during
the
period
were
largely
the
result
of
idiosyncratic
situations
rather
than
the
result
of
deliberate
moves
to
exploit
broader
themes.
For
example,
many
of
the
BB
rated
bonds
we
purchased
during
the
period
increased
the
portfolio’s
allocation
to
the
information
technology
segment
by
about
360
basis
points
(100
basis
points
equals
1.00%).
We
also
participated
in
some
new
issues
to
gain
access
to
attractive
bond
structures
in
the
cable
operators
segment,
increasing
the
portfolio’s
allocation
to
the
industry
by
210
basis
points.
Our
weighting
in
the
energy
industry
declined
as
a
few
issuers
that
were
in
the
portfolio
got
upgraded
to
investment-grade
(IG)
status
and
left
our
market.
Similarly,
T-Mobile’s
IG
upgrade
caused
a
notable
reduction
in
the
portfolio’s
allocation
to
the
wireless
communications
segment.
What
is
portfolio
management’s
outlook?
Although
higher
interest
rates
and
concerns
about
the
possibility
of
a
recession
have
created
a
more
challenging
macro
environment,
we
believe
fundamental
conditions
in
the
high
yield
asset
class
and
its
underlying
credit
quality
remain
solid.
Higher
interest
costs
will
likely
be
onerous
for
some
below
investment-grade
companies,
particularly
those
with
large
floating
rate
debt
obligations.
While
we
do
anticipate
an
increase
in
the
market’s
default
rate
from
what
has
essentially
been
0%,
we
expect
it
to
remain
below
the
long-
term
average
of
roughly
3.5%
over
the
medium
term
despite
the
challenging
performance
environment.
The
high
yield
market’s
performance
is
strongly
correlated
with
that
of
other
risk
assets.
Therefore,
we
anticipate
that
events
in
the
broader
market,
such
as
equity
sell-offs
in
response
to
Federal
Reserve
policy,
could
lead
to
additional
credit
spread
widening.
We
believe
active
management
that
is
deeply
rooted
in
bottom-up
fundamental
credit
analysis
becomes
increasingly
important

Historically,

in

have
reached
current
levels,
we
have

RISKS
OF
BOND
INVESTING
Bonds
are
subject
to
interest
rate
risk,
the
decline
in
bond
prices
that
usually
accompanies
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
and
credit
risk,
the
chance
that
any
fund
holding
could
have
its
credit
rating
downgraded
or
that
a
bond
issuer
will
default
(fail
to
make
timely
payments
of
interest
or
principal),
potentially
reducing
the
fund’s
income
level
and
share
price.
High
yield
corporate
bonds
could
have
greater
price
declines
than
funds
that
invest
primarily
in
high-
quality
bonds.
Companies
issuing
high
yield
bonds
are
not
as
strong
financially
as
those
with
higher
credit
ratings,
so
the
bonds
are
usually
considered
to
be
speculative
investments.
Bank
loans
may
at
times
become
difficult
to
value
and
highly
illiquid;
they
are
subject
to
credit
risk
such
as
nonpayment
of
principal
or
interest,
and
risks
of
bankruptcy
and
insolvency.
Investing
in
the
securities
of
non-U.S.
issuers
involves
special
risks
not
typically
associated
with
investing
in
U.S.
issuers.
Foreign
securities
tend
to
be
more
volatile
and
less
liquid
than
investments
in
U.S.
securities
and
may
lose
value
because
of
adverse
local,
political,
social,
or
economic
developments
overseas,
or
due
to
changes
in
the
exchange
rates
between
foreign
currencies
and
the
U.S.
dollar.
In
addition,
foreign
investments
are
subject
to
settlement
practices
and
regulatory
and
financial
reporting
standards
that
differ
from
those
of
the
U.S.
These
risks
are
heightened
for
the
fund’s
investments
in
emerging
markets,
which
are
more
susceptible
to
governmental
interference,
less
efficient
trading
markets,
and
the
imposition
of
local
taxes
or
restrictions
on
gaining
access
to
sales
proceeds
for
foreign
investors.

EXPENSE
EXAMPLE
As
a
mutual
fund
shareholder,
you
may
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
such
as
redemption
fees
or
sales
loads,
and
(2)
ongoing
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
fund
expenses.
The
following
example
is
intended
to
help
you
understand
your
ongoing
costs
(in
dollars)
of
investing
in
the
fund
and
to
compare
these
costs
with
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
other
mutual
funds.
The
example
is
based
on
an
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
most
recent
six-month
period
and
held
for
the
entire
period.
Please
note
that
the
fund
has
three
share
classes:
The
original
share
class
(Investor
Class)
charges
no
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fee,
the
Advisor
Class
shares
are
offered
only
through
unaffiliated
brokers
and
other
financial
intermediaries
and
charge
a
0.25%
12b-1
fee,
and
I
Class
shares
are
available
to
institutionally
oriented
clients
and
impose
no
12b-1
or
administrative
fee
payment.
Each
share
class
is
presented
separately
in
the
table.
Actual
Expenses
The
first
line
of
the
following
table
(Actual)
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
expenses
based
on
the
fund’s
actual
returns.
You
may
use
the
information
on
this
line,
together
with
your
account
balance,
to
estimate
the
expenses
that
you
paid
over
the
period.
Simply
divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(for
example,
an
$8,600
account
value
divided
by
$1,000
=
8.6),
then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
on
the
first
line
under
the
heading
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
to
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
on
your
account
during
this
period.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
Purposes
The
information
on
the
second
line
of
the
table
(Hypothetical)
is
based
on
hypothetical
account
values
and
expenses
derived
from
the
fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
5%
per
year
rate
of
return
before
expenses
(not
the
fund’s
actual
return).
You
may
compare
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
fund
with
other
funds
by
contrasting
this
5%
hypothetical
example
and
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
the
other
funds.
The
hypothetical
account
values
and
expenses
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period.

The

as
of
the
fund’s

recent

This
number
may
vary
from
the
expense
ratio
shown
elsewhere
in
this
report
because
it
is
based
on
a

if

does
not

Credit

Fund
Note:
T.
Rowe
Price
charges
an
annual
account
service
fee
of
$20,
generally
for
accounts
with
less
than
$10,000.
The
fee
is
waived
for
any
investor
whose
T.
Rowe
Price
mutual
fund
accounts
total
$50,000
or
more;
accounts
electing
to
receive
electronic

of

shareholder
reports;
or
accounts
of
an
investor
who
is
a
T.

Enhanced

client
(enrollment
in
these
programs
generally
requires
T.
Rowe
Price
assets
of
at
least
$250,000).
This
fee
is
not
included
in
the
accompanying
table.
If
you
are
subject
to
the
fee,
keep
it
in
mind
when
you
are
estimating
the
ongoing
expenses
of
investing
in
the
fund
and
when
comparing
the
expenses
of
this
fund
with
other
funds.
You
should
also
be
aware
that
the
expenses
shown
in
the
table
highlight
only
your
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transaction
costs,
such
as
redemption
fees
or
sales
loads.
Therefore,
the
second
line
of
the
table
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only
and
will
not
help
you
determine
the
relative
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
To
the
extent
a
fund
charges
transaction
costs,
however,
the
total
cost
of
owning
that
fund
is
higher.

T.

Fund,
Inc.
(the
fund) is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
1940
Act)
as a
diversified,
open-end
management
investment
company. The
fund
seeks
a
combination
of
long-term
capital
appreciation
and
high
income.
The
fund
has
three classes
of
shares:
the
Credit
Opportunities
Fund
(Investor
Class),
the
Credit
Opportunities
Fund–Advisor
Class
(Advisor
Class)
and
the
Credit
Opportunities
Fund–I
Class
(I
Class).
Advisor
Class
shares
are
sold
only
through
various
brokers
and
other
financial
intermediaries.
I
Class
shares
require
a
$500,000
initial
investment
minimum,
although
the
minimum
generally
is
waived
or
reduced
for
financial
intermediaries,
eligible
retirement
plans,
and
certain
other
accounts.
Prior
to
November
15,
2021,
the
initial
investment
minimum
was
$1
million
and
was
generally
waived
for
financial
intermediaries,
eligible
retirement
plans,
and
other
certain
accounts.
As
a
result
of
the
reduction
in
the
I
Class
minimum,
certain
assets
transferred
from
the
Investor
Class
to
the
I
Class.
This
transfer
of
shares
from
Investor
Class
to
I
Class
is
reflected
in
the
Statement
of
Changes
in
Net
Assets
within
the
Capital
shares
transactions
as
Shares
redeemed
and
Shares
sold,
respectively.
The
Advisor
Class
operates
under
a
Board-approved
Rule
12b-1
plan
pursuant
to
which
the
class
compensates
financial
intermediaries
for
distribution,
shareholder
servicing,
and/
or
certain
administrative
services;
the
Investor
and
I
Classes
do
not
pay
Rule
12b-1
fees. Each
class
has
exclusive
voting
rights
on
matters
related
solely
to
that
class;
separate
voting
rights
on
matters
that
relate
to
all
classes;
and,
in
all
other
respects,
the
same
rights
and
obligations
as
the
other
classes.

principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(GAAP),
including,
but
not
limited
to,
ASC
946.
GAAP
requires
the
use
of
estimates
made
by
management.
Management
believes
that
estimates
and
valuations
are
appropriate;
however,
actual
results
may
differ
from
those
estimates,
and
the
valuations
reflected
in
the
accompanying
financial
statements
may
differ
from
the
value
ultimately
realized
upon
sale
or
maturity.
Investment
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
and
Distributions
Investment
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
the

interest
and
penalties,
if
incurred,
are
recorded
as
income
tax
expense.
Dividends
received
from
mutual
fund
investments
are
reflected
as
dividend
income;
capital
gain
distributions
are
reflected
as
realized
gain/loss.
Dividend
income
and
capital
gain
distributions
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributions
from
REITs
are
initially

of
the
asset
received.
Proceeds
from
litigation
payments,
if
any,
are
included
in
either

Currency
Translation
Assets,
including
investments,
and

denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollar
values
each

at
the
prevailing

and
asked
prices
of

currencies
against
U.S.
dollars
as
provided
by
an
outside

service.
Purchases
and

income,
and
expenses
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
at
the
prevailing
exchange
rate
on
the
respective
date
of
such
transaction.
The
effect
of
changes
in
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
on
realized
and
unrealized
security
gains
and
losses
is
not
bifurcated
from
the
portion
attributable
to
changes
in
market
prices.
Class
Accounting
Shareholder
servicing,
prospectus,

report
expenses
incurred
by
each

charged
directly
to
the

to
which
they
relate.
Expenses
common
to all classes
and
investment
income
are
allocated
to
the
classes
based
upon
the
relative
daily
net
assets
of
each
class’s
settled
shares;
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
based
upon
the
relative
daily
net
assets
of
each
class’s
outstanding
shares.
The
Advisor
Class
pays
Rule
12b-1
fees,
in
an
amount
not
exceeding
0.25%
of
the
class’s
average
daily
net
assets;
during
the six
months
ended November
30,
2022,
the Advisor
Class incurred
less
than
$1,000
in
these
fees.
Capital
Transactions
Each
investor’s
interest
in
the
net
assets
of the
fund
is
represented
by
fund
shares. The
fund’s
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
is
computed
at
the
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
normally
4
p.m.
ET,
each
day
the
NYSE
is
open
for
business.
However,
the
NAV
per
share
may
be
calculated
at
a
time
other
than
the
normal
close
of
the
NYSE
if
trading
on
the
NYSE
is
restricted,
if
the
NYSE
closes
earlier,
or
as
may
be
permitted
by
the
SEC.
Purchases
and

are
transacted
at

VALUATION
Fair
Value
The
fund’s
financial
instruments
are
valued
at
the
close
of
the
NYSE
and
are
reported
at
fair
value,
which
GAAP
defines
as
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date. The fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(the
Board)
has
designated
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
as
the
fund’s
valuation
designee
(Valuation
Designee).
Subject
to
oversight
by
the
Board,
the
Valuation
Designee
performs
the
following
functions
in
performing
fair
value
determinations:
assesses
and
manages
valuation
risks;
establishes
and
applies
fair
value
methodologies;
tests
fair
value
methodologies;
and
evaluates
pricing
vendors
and
pricing
agents.
The
duties
and
responsibilities
of
the
Valuation
Designee
are
performed
by
its
Valuation
Committee. The
Valuation
Designee provides
periodic
reporting
to
the
Board
on
valuation
matters.
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Credit
Opportunities
Fund
Various
valuation
techniques
and
inputs
are
used
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments.
GAAP
establishes
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy
that
categorizes
the
inputs
used
to
measure
fair
value:
Level
1
–
quoted
prices
(unadjusted)
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
that
the
fund
can
access
at
the
reporting
date
Level
2
–
inputs
other
than
Level
1
quoted
prices
that
are
observable,
either
directly
or
indirectly
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments
in
active
markets,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
financial
instruments
in
inactive
markets,
interest
rates
and
yield
curves,
implied
volatilities,
and
credit
spreads)
Level
3
–
unobservable
inputs
(including
the Valuation
Designee’s assumptions
in
determining
fair
value)
Observable
inputs
are
developed
using
market
data,
such
as
publicly
available
information
about
actual
events
or
transactions,
and
reflect
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
to
price
the
financial
instrument.
Unobservable
inputs
are
those
for
which
market
data
are
not
available
and
are
developed
using
the
best
information
available
about
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
to
price
the
financial
instrument.
GAAP
requires
valuation
techniques
to
maximize
the
use
of
relevant
observable
inputs
and
minimize
the
use
of
unobservable
inputs.
When
multiple
inputs
are
used
to
derive
fair
value,
the
financial
instrument
is
assigned
to
the
level
within
the
fair
value
hierarchy
based
on
the
lowest-level
input
that
is
significant
to
the
fair
value
of
the
financial
instrument.
Input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level
but
rather
the
degree
of
judgment
used
in
determining
those
values.
Valuation
Techniques
Debt
securities
generally
are
traded
in
the over-the-counter

When
valuing
securities,
the
independent
pricing
services
consider
the
yield
or
price
of
bonds
of
comparable
quality,
coupon,
maturity,
and
type,
as
well
as
prices
quoted
by
dealers

securities,
including
exchange-traded
funds, listed

The
Valuation
Designee
has
adopted
methodologies
for
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
or
deemed
unreliable,
including
the
use
of
other
pricing
sources.
Factors
used
in
determining
fair
value
vary
by
type
of
investment
and
may
include
market
or
investment
specific
considerations.
The
Valuation
Designee typically
will
afford
greatest
weight
to
actual
prices
in
arm’s
length
transactions,
to
the
extent
they
represent
orderly
transactions
between
market
participants,
transaction
information
can
be
reliably
obtained,
and
prices
are
deemed
representative
of
fair
value.
However,
the
Valuation
Designee may
also
consider
other
valuation
methods
such
as
market-based
valuation
multiples;
a
discount
or
premium
from
market
value
of
a
similar,
freely
traded
security
of
the
same
issuer;
discounted
cash
flows;
yield
to
maturity;
or
some
combination.
Fair
value
determinations
are
reviewed
on
a
regular
basis.
Because
any
fair
value
determination
involves
a
significant
amount
of
judgment,
there
is
a
degree
of
subjectivity
inherent
in
such
pricing
decisions. Fair
value
prices
determined
by
the
Valuation
Designee could
differ
from
those
of
other
market
participants,
and
it
is
possible
that
the
fair
value
determined
for
a
security
may
be
materially
different
from
the
value
that
could
be
realized
upon
the
sale
of
that
security.

DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS
During
the
six
months ended
November
30,
2022,
the
fund
invested
in
derivative
instruments.
As
defined
by
GAAP,
a
derivative
is
a
financial
instrument
whose
value
is
derived
from
an
underlying
security
price,
foreign
exchange
rate,
interest
rate,
index
of
prices
or
rates,
or
other
variable;
it
requires
little
or
no
initial
investment
and
permits
or
requires
net
settlement.
The
fund
invests
in
derivatives
only
if
the
expected
risks
and
rewards
are
consistent
with
its
investment
objectives,
policies,
and
overall
risk
profile,
as
described
in
its
prospectus
and
Statement
of
Additional
Information.
The
fund
may
use
derivatives
for
a
variety
of
purposes
and
may
use
them

The
fund
values
its

at

recognizes
changes

currently
in
its
results
of
operations.
Accordingly,
the
fund
does
not
follow
hedge
accounting,
even
for
derivatives
employed
as
economic
hedges.
Generally,
the
fund
accounts
for
its

It
does
not
offset
the
fair

of
derivative
liabilities
against

Counterparty
Risk
and
Collateral
The
fund
invests
in
derivatives
in
various
markets,
which
expose
it
to
differing
levels
of
counterparty
risk.
Counterparty
risk
on
exchange-
traded
and
centrally
cleared
derivative
contracts,
such
as
futures,
exchange-traded
options,
and
centrally
cleared
swaps,
is
minimal
because
the
clearinghouse
provides
protection
against
counterparty
defaults.
For
futures
and
centrally
cleared
swaps,
the
fund
is
required
to
deposit
collateral
in
an
amount
specified
by
the
clearinghouse
and
the
clearing
firm
(margin
requirement),
and
the
margin
requirement
must
be
maintained
over
the
life
of
the
contract.
Each
clearinghouse
and
clearing
firm,
in
its
sole
discretion,
may
adjust
the
margin
requirements
applicable
to
the
fund.
Derivatives,
such
as
bilateral
swaps,
forward
currency
exchange
contracts,
and
OTC
options,
that
are
transacted
and
settle
directly
with
a
counterparty
(bilateral
derivatives)
may
expose
the
fund
to
greater
counterparty
risk.
To
mitigate
this
risk,
the
fund
has
entered
into
master
netting
arrangements
(MNAs)
with
certain
counterparties
that
permit
net
settlement

below
a
specified
rating
would
allow
the
fund
to
terminate,
while
a
decline
in
the
fund’s
net
assets
of
more
than
a
specified
percentage
would
allow
the
counterparty
to
terminate.
Upon
termination,
all
transactions
with
that
counterparty
would
be
liquidated
and
a
net
termination
amount
settled.
ISDAs
typically
include
collateral
agreements
whereas
FX
letters
do
not.
Collateral
requirements
are
determined
daily
based
on
the
net
aggregate
unrealized
gain
or
loss
on
all
bilateral
derivatives
with
a
counterparty,
subject
to
minimum
transfer
amounts
that
typically
range
from
$100,000
to
$250,000.
Any
additional
collateral
required
due
to
changes
in
security
values
is
typically
transferred
the
next
business
day.
Collateral
may
be
in
the
form
of
cash
or
debt
securities
issued
by
the
U.S.
government
or
related
agencies,
although
other
securities
may
be
used
depending
on
the
terms
outlined
in
the
applicable
MNA.
Cash
posted
by
the
fund
is
reflected
as
cash
deposits
in
the
accompanying
financial
statements
and
generally
is
restricted
from
withdrawal
by
the

securities
posted
by
the
fund
are
so
noted
in
the
accompanying
Portfolio
of
Investments;
both
remain
in
the
fund’s
assets.
Collateral
pledged
by
counterparties
is
not
included
in
the
fund’s
assets
because
the
fund
does
not
obtain
effective
control
over
those
assets.
For
bilateral
derivatives,
collateral
posted
or
received
by
the
fund
is
held
in
a
segregated
account
at
the
fund’s
custodian.
While
typically
not
sold
in
the
same
manner
as
equity
or
fixed
income
securities,
exchange-traded
or
centrally
cleared
derivatives
may
be
closed
out
only
on
the
exchange
or
clearinghouse
where
the
contracts
were
cleared,
and
OTC
and
bilateral
derivatives
may
be
unwound
with
counterparties
or
transactions
assigned
to
other
counterparties
to
allow
the
fund
to
exit
the
transaction.
This
ability
is
subject
to
the
liquidity
of
underlying
positions. As
of
November
30,
2022,
no
collateral
was
pledged
by
either
the
fund
or
counterparties for
bilateral
derivatives. As
of
November

2022,
cash
of $215,000 had
been
posted
by
the
fund
for
exchange-
traded
and/or
centrally

Exchange
Contracts
The

to
foreign

in
the
normal
course
of
pursuing
its

to
shift
the
fund’s
foreign
currency
exposure
from
one
country
to
another,
or
to
enhance
the
fund’s
return.
A
forward
involves
an

a
fixed
amount
of
a
specific
currency
on
a
future
date
at
a
price
set

Although
certain

most

Risks
related

Options
The

is
subject
to credit
risk in
the
normal
course
of
pursuing
its
investment
objectives
and
uses
options
to
help
manage
such
risk.
The

may
use
options
to
manage
exposure
to
security
prices,
interest
rates,
foreign

and
credit
quality;
as
an
efficient
means
of
adjusting
exposure
to
all
or
a
part
of
a
target
market;
to
enhance
income;
as
a
cash
management
tool;
or
to
adjust

Options
are
included
in
net

at
fair
value,
options

are
separately
reflected
as

Premiums
on
unexercised,

The
difference
between
the
premium
and
the
amount
received
or
paid
in
a
closing
transaction
is
also
treated
as
realized
gain
or
loss.
In
return
for
a

paid,
options
on

terms.
The

Swaps
The
fund
is
subject
to
credit
risk in
the
normal
course
of
pursuing
its
investment
objectives
and
uses
swap
contracts
to
help
manage
such
risk.
The
fund
may
use
swaps
in
an
effort
to
manage
both
long
and
short
exposure
to
changes
in
interest
rates,
inflation
rates,
and
credit
quality;
to
adjust
overall
exposure
to
certain
markets;
to
enhance
total
return
or
protect
the
value
of
portfolio
securities;
to
serve
as
a
cash
management
tool;
or
to
adjust
portfolio
duration
and
credit
exposure.
Swap
agreements
can
be
settled
either
directly
with
the
counterparty
(bilateral
swap)
or
through
a
central
clearinghouse
(centrally
cleared
swap).
Fluctuations
in
the
fair
value
of
a
contract
are
reflected
in
unrealized
gain
or
loss
and
are
reclassified
to
realized
gain
or
loss
upon
contract
termination
or
cash
settlement.
Net
periodic
receipts
or
payments
required
by
a
contract
increase
or
decrease,
respectively,
the
value
of
the
contract
until
the
contractual
payment
date,
at
which
time
such
amounts
are
reclassified
from
unrealized
to
realized
gain
or
loss.
For
bilateral
swaps,
cash
payments
are
made
or
received
by
the
fund
on
a
periodic
basis
in
accordance
with
contract
terms;
unrealized
gain
on
contracts
and
premiums
paid
are
reflected
as
assets
and
unrealized
loss
on
contracts
and
premiums
received
are
reflected
as
liabilities
on
the
accompanying
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
For
bilateral
swaps,
premiums
paid
or
received
are
amortized
over
the
life
of
the
swap
and
are
recognized
as
realized
gain
or
loss
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
centrally
cleared
swaps,
payments
are
made
or
received
by
the
fund
each
day
to
settle
the
daily
fluctuation
in
the
value
of
the
contract
(variation
margin).
Accordingly,
the
value
of
a
centrally
cleared
swap
included
in
net
assets
is
the
unsettled
variation
margin;
net
variation
margin
receivable
is
reflected
as
an
asset
and
net
variation
margin
payable
is
reflected
as
a
liability
on
the
accompanying
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Credit
default
swaps
are
agreements
where
one
party
(the
protection
buyer)
agrees
to
make
periodic
payments
to
another
party
(the
protection
seller)
in
exchange
for
protection
against
specified
credit
events,
such
as
certain
defaults
and
bankruptcies
related
to
an
underlying
credit
instrument,
or
issuer
or
index
of
such
instruments.
Upon
occurrence
of
a
specified
credit
event,
the
protection
seller
is
required
to
pay
the
buyer
the
difference
between
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
and
the
value
of
the
underlying
credit,
either
in
the
form
of
a
net
cash
settlement
or
by
paying
the
gross
notional
amount
and
accepting
delivery
of
the
relevant
underlying
credit.
For
credit
default
swaps
where
the
underlying
credit
is
an
index,
a
specified
credit
event
may
affect
all
or
individual
underlying
securities
included
in
the
index
and
will
be
settled
based
upon
the
relative
weighting
of
the
affected
underlying
security(ies)
within
the
index. Generally,
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Credit
Opportunities
Fund
the
payment
risk
for
the
seller
of
protection
is
inversely
related
to
the
current
market
price
or
credit
rating
of
the
underlying
credit
or
the
market
value
of
the
contract
relative
to
the
notional
amount,
which
are
indicators
of
the
markets’
valuation
of
credit

As
of
November
30,
2022,
the
notional
amount
of
protection
sold
by
the
fund
totaled $2,209,000
(2.4%
of
net
assets),
which
reflects
the
maximum
potential
amount
the
fund
could
be
required
to
pay
under
such
contracts.
Risks
related
to
the
use
of
credit
default
swaps
include
the
possible
inability
of
the
fund
to
accurately
assess
the
current

the
possible
failure
of

that
could
adversely

and
potential

companies
located
in,
issued
by
governments

to
the
currencies
of
emerging

frontier
market
countries.
Emerging
markets,
and
to
a
greater
extent
frontier

to
have
economic
structures
that
are
less
diverse
and
mature,
less
developed
legal
and
regulatory
regimes,
and
political
systems
that
are
less
stable,
than
those
of
developed
countries.
These
markets
may
be
subject
to
greater
political,
economic,
and
social
uncertainty
and
differing
accounting
standards
and
regulatory
environments
that
may
potentially
impact
the
fund’s
ability
to
buy
or
sell
certain
securities
or
repatriate
proceeds
to
U.S.
dollars.
Emerging
markets
securities
exchanges
are
more
likely
to
experience
delays
with
the
clearing
and
settling
of
trades,
as
well
as
the
custody
of
holdings
by
local
banks,
agents,
and
depositories.
Such
securities
are
often
subject
to
greater
price
volatility,
less
liquidity,
and
higher
rates
of
inflation
than
U.S.
securities.
Investing
in
frontier
markets
is
typically
significantly
riskier
than
investing
in
other
countries,
including
emerging
markets.

Fund
Noninvestment-Grade
Debt
The
fund
invests,
either
directly
or
through
its
investment
in
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
in
noninvestment-grade
debt,
including
“high
yield”
or
“junk”
bonds
or
leveraged
loans.
Noninvestment-grade
debt
issuers
are
more
likely
to
suffer
an
adverse
change
in
financial
condition
that
would
result
in
the
inability
to
meet
a
financial
obligation.
The
noninvestment-grade
debt
market
may
experience
sudden
and
sharp
price
swings
due
to
a
variety
of
factors
that
may
decrease
the
ability
of
issuers
to
make
principal
and
interest
payments
and
adversely
affect
the
liquidity
or
value,
or
both,
of
such
securities.
Accordingly,
securities
issued
by
such
companies
carry
a
higher
risk
of
default
and
should
be
considered
speculative.
Restricted
Securities
The
fund
invests
in
securities
that
are
subject
to
legal
or
contractual
restrictions
on
resale.
Prompt
sale
of
such
securities
at
an
acceptable
price
may
be
difficult
and
may
involve
substantial
delays
and
additional
costs.
Bank
Loans
The
fund
invests
in
bank
loans,
which
represent
an
interest
in
amounts
owed
by
a
borrower
to
a
syndicate
of
lenders.
Bank
loans
are
generally
noninvestment
grade
and
often
involve
borrowers
whose
financial
condition
is
highly
leveraged.
The
fund
may
invest
in
fixed
and
floating
rate
loans,
which
may
include
senior
floating
rate
loans;
secured
and
unsecured
loans,
second
lien
or
more
junior
loans;
and
bridge
loans
or
bridge
facilities.
Certain
bank
loans
may
be
revolvers
which
are
a
form
of
senior
bank
debt,
where
the
borrower
can
draw
down
the
credit
of
the
revolver
when
it
needs
cash
and
repays
the
credit
when
the
borrower
has
excess
cash.
Certain
loans
may
be
“covenant-lite”
loans,
which
means
the
loans
contain
fewer
maintenance
covenants
than
other
loans
(in
some
cases,
none)
and
do
not
include
terms
which
allow
the
lender
to
monitor
the
performance
of
the
borrower
and
declare
a
default
if
certain
criteria
are
breached.
As
a
result
of
these
risks,
the
fund’s
exposure
to
losses
may
be
increased.
Bank
loans
may
be
in
the
form
of
either
assignments
or
participations.
A
loan
assignment
transfers
all
legal,
beneficial,
and
economic
rights
to
the
buyer,
and
transfer
typically
requires
consent
of
both
the
borrower
and
agent.
In
contrast,
a
loan
participation
generally
entitles
the
buyer
to
receive
the
cash
flows
from
principal,
interest,
and
any
fee
payments
on
a
portion
of
a
loan;
however,
the
seller
continues
to
hold
legal
title
to
that
portion
of
the
loan.
As
a
result,
the
buyer
of
a
loan
participation
generally
has
no
direct
recourse
against
the
borrower
and
is
exposed
to
credit
risk
of
both
the
borrower
and
seller
of
the
participation.
Bank
loans
often
have
extended
settlement
periods,
generally
may
be
repaid
at
any
time
at
the
option
of
the
borrower,
and
may
require
additional
principal
to
be
funded
at
the
borrowers’
discretion
at
a
later
date
(e.g.
unfunded
commitments
and
revolving
debt
instruments).
Until
settlement,
the
fund
maintains
liquid
assets
sufficient
to
settle
its
unfunded
loan
commitments.
The
fund
reflects
both
the
funded

as
well
as
its
unfunded

However,
if
a
credit
agreement
provides
no
initial
funding
of
a
tranche,
and
funding
of
the
full
commitment
at
a
future
date(s)
is
at
the

and
considered

a

only
if,
and
only
to
the
extent
that,
the
fund
has
actually
settled
a
funding
commitment.
LIBOR
Transition
The fund
may
invest
in
instruments
that
are
tied
to
reference
rates,
including
LIBOR.
Over
the
course
of
the
last
several
years,
global
regulators
have
indicated
an
intent
to
phase
out
the
use
of
LIBOR
and
similar
interbank
offered
rates
(IBOR).
While
publication
for
most
LIBOR
currencies
and
lesser-used
USD
LIBOR
settings
ceased
immediately
after
December
31,
2021,
remaining
USD
LIBOR
settings
will
continue
to
be
published
until
June
30,
2023.
There
remains
uncertainty
regarding
the
future
utilization
of
LIBOR
and
the
nature
of
any
replacement
rate.
Any
potential
effects
of
the
transition
away
from
LIBOR
on
the fund,
or
on
certain
instruments
in
which
the fund
invests,
cannot
yet
be
determined.
The
transition
process
may
result
in,
among
other
things,
an
increase
in
volatility
or
illiquidity
of
markets
for
instruments
that

RELATED
PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
The
fund
is
managed
by
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Price
Associates),
a
wholly
owned
subsidiary
of
T.
Rowe
Price
Group,
Inc.
(Price
Group).
The
investment
management
agreement
between
the
fund
and
Price
Associates
provides
for
an
annual
investment
management
fee,
which
is
computed
daily
and
paid
monthly. The
fee
consists
of
an
individual
fund
fee,
equal
to
0.27%
of
the
fund’s
average
daily
net
assets,
and
a
group
fee.
The
group
fee
rate
is
calculated
based
on
the
combined
net
assets
of
certain
mutual
funds
sponsored
by
Price
Associates
(the
group)
applied
to
a
graduated
fee
schedule,
with
rates
ranging
from
0.48%
for
the
first
$1
billion
of
assets
to
0.260%
for
assets
in
excess
of
$845
billion.
The
fund’s
group
fee
is
determined
by
applying
the
group
fee
rate
to
the
fund’s
average
daily
net
assets. At
November
30,
2022,
the
effective
annual
group
fee
rate
was
0.29%.
The Investor Class
and Advisor Class
are
each
subject
to
a
contractual
expense
limitation
through
the

During

related
to
borrowings,

brokerage;
non-recurring,

and
acquired

that
would
otherwise
cause
the
class’s
ratio
of
annualized
total
expenses
to
average
net
assets
(net
expense
ratio)
to
exceed
its
expense
limitation.
Each
class
is
required
to
repay
Price
Associates
for
expenses
previously
waived/paid
to
the
extent
the
class’s
net
assets
grow

decline
sufficiently

LIQUIDITY
RISK
MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM
In
accordance
with
Rule
22e-4
(Liquidity
Rule)
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended,
the
fund
has
established
a
liquidity
risk
management
program
(Liquidity
Program)
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
the
fund’s
liquidity
risk,
which
generally
represents
the
risk
that
the
fund
would
not
be
able
to
meet
redemption
requests
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
fund.
The
fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(Board)
has
appointed
the
fund’s
investment
adviser,
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Adviser),
as
the
administrator
of
the
Liquidity
Program.
As
administrator,
the
Adviser
is
responsible
for
overseeing
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
Liquidity
Program
and,
among
other
things,
is
responsible
for
assessing,
managing,
and
reviewing
with
the
Board
at
least
annually
the
liquidity
risk
of
each
T.
Rowe
Price
fund.
The
Adviser
has
delegated
oversight
of
the
Liquidity
Program
to
a
Liquidity
Risk
Committee
(LRC),
which
is
a
cross-functional
committee
composed
of
personnel
from
multiple
departments
within
the
Adviser.
The
Liquidity
Program’s
principal
objectives
include
supporting
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds’
compliance
with
limits
on
investments
in
illiquid
assets
and
mitigating
the
risk
that
the
fund
will
be
unable
to
timely
meet
its
redemption
obligations.
The
Liquidity
Program
also
includes
a
number
of
elements
that
support
the
management
and
assessment
of
liquidity
risk,
including
an
annual
assessment
of
factors
that
influence
the
fund’s
liquidity
and
the
periodic
classification
and
reclassification
of
a
fund’s
investments
into
categories
that
reflect
the
LRC’s
assessment
of
their
relative
liquidity
under
current
market
conditions.
Under
the
Liquidity
Program,
every
investment
held
by
the
fund
is
classified
at
least
monthly
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories
based
on
estimations
of
the
investment’s
ability
to
be
sold
during
designated
time
frames
in
current
market
conditions
without
significantly
changing
the
investment’s
market
value.
As
required
by
the
Liquidity
Rule,
at
a
meeting
held
on
July
25,
2022,
the
Board
was
presented
with
an
annual
assessment
prepared
by
the
LRC,
on
behalf
of
the
Adviser,
that
addressed
the
operation
of
the
Liquidity
Program
and
assessed
its
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
implementation,
including
any
material
changes
to
the
Liquidity
Program
and
the
determination
of
each
fund’s
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
(HLIM).
The
annual
assessment
included
consideration
of
the
following
factors,
as
applicable:
the
fund’s
investment
strategy
and
liquidity
of
portfolio
investments
during
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions,
including
whether
the
investment
strategy
is
appropriate
for
an
open-end
fund,
the
extent
to
which
the
strategy
involves
a
relatively
concentrated
portfolio
or
large
positions
in
particular
issuers,
and
the
use
of
borrowings
for
investment
purposes
and
derivatives;
short-term
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections
covering
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions;
and
holdings
of
cash
and
cash
equivalents,
as
well
as
available
borrowing
arrangements.
T.

PRICE
Credit
Opportunities
Fund
For
the
fund
and
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
the
annual
assessment
incorporated
a
report
related
to
a
fund’s
holdings,
shareholder
and
portfolio
concentration,
any
borrowings
during
the
period,
cash
flow
projections,
and
other
relevant
data
for
the
period
of
April
1,
2021,
through
March
31,
2022.
The
report
described
the
methodology
for
classifying
a
fund’s
investments
(including
any
derivative
transactions)
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories,
as
well
as
the
percentage
of
a
fund’s
investments
assigned
to
each
category.
It
also
explained
the
methodology
for
establishing
a
fund’s
HLIM
and
noted
that
the
LRC
reviews
the
HLIM
assigned
to
each
fund
no
less
frequently
than
annually.
During
the
period
covered
by
the
annual
assessment,
the
LRC
has
concluded,
and
reported
to
the
Board,
that
the
Liquidity
Program
continues
to
operate
adequately
and
effectively
and
is
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
the

liquidity
risk.
