The Reporting Persons hold the Common Shares for investment purposes.

Pruco Life Insurance Company's ownership as a percentage of the outstanding Class Z Shares may be deemed to have the resulting effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer, notwithstanding that the Class Z Shares of the Issuer reported herein were acquired in the ordinary course of its business and were not acquired for the purpose of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer.
When permitted by applicable law, the Reporting Persons may dispose of some or all of their Common Shares, from time to time, by tendering such Common Shares for repurchase by the Issuer, depending on price, market liquidity, developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer's business and prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant.
PGIM Investments LLC (the "Manager") serves as investment manager to the Issuer and is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the management of the Issuer's operations, subject to oversight by the Issuer's Board of Trustees.

All of the Issuer's officers and trustees, other than the Issuer's independent trustees, are employees of Prudential Financial, Inc. or one of its affiliates. In such capacities, these individuals may have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to items described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Except as set forth above, or as would occur upon completion of any of the matters discussed herein, the Reporting Persons and, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, each of the other individuals named in Item 2 above, have no present plans, proposals or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
