We recently sent you proxy materials concerning an important proposal regarding the Fund, which will be considered at a reconvened Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held virtually on March 1, 2023. This reminder is being sent to you because you held shares in the Fund on the new record date of January 17, 2023, and we have not received your vote. Every vote counts and it is important that you vote, no matter how large or small your holdings may be.
PROPOSAL INFORMATION:
Shareholders are being asked to vote on a new sub-investment advisory agreement to ensure that Alcentra NY, LLC can continue to serve as the Fund's sub-adviser and provide uninterrupted day-to-day portfolio management services to the Fund. Unless a sufficient number of votes are obtained to approve the new sub-investment advisory agreement, Alcentra NY, LLC cannot continue to provide sub-advisory services for the Fund.
Your vote is critical to this process. Please vote promptly to avoid the extra soliciting required to receive sufficient votes prior to the shareholder meeting.
