“On May 16, 2023, the Seed Vehicle contributed $1,000 to the Fund as a seed investment to purchase 40 Shares at $25.00 per Share (the “Initial Seed Investment”). The Initial Seed Investment was a private placement transaction under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

On February 9, 2024, the Seed Vehicle made a capital commitment to invest an aggregate of $10,000,000 in Shares pursuant to private placement transactions under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (the “Seed Commitment”).

Except as may be provided by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) in setting the terms of classified or reclassified shares, the Shares have no preemptive, exchange, conversion, appraisal or redemption rights. In the event of the Fund’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each Share would be entitled to share pro rata in all of the Fund’s assets that are legally available for distribution after it pays all debts and other liabilities and subject to any preferential rights of holders of the Fund’s preferred shares, if any preferred shares are outstanding at such time. Subject to the rights of holders of any other class or series of shares, each Share will be entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of trustees. Except as may be provided by the Board in setting the terms of classified or reclassified shares, and subject to the express terms of any class or series of preferred shares, the holders of the Shares will possess exclusive voting power. There is no cumulative voting in the election of the Fund’s trustees. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred shares to elect trustees, each trustee of the Fund will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast with respect to such trustee’s election.

The Investments were paid from working capital of FSH.”
