Item 29. | Persons Controlled By or Under Common Control with Registrant. |
No person is controlled by or under common control with the Registrant.
A Delaware business trust may provide in its governing instrument for indemnification of its officers and trustees from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. Article IX, Section 2 of the Trust Instrument provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any present or former trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant (“Covered Person”) to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding (“Action”) in which he or she becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his or her being or having been a Covered Person and against amounts paid or incurred by him or her in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by a court or other body to be liable to the Registrant or its shareholders by reason of “willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office” (“Disabling Conduct”), or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Registrant. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a determination that the officer or trustee did not engage in Disabling Conduct (i) by the court or other body approving the settlement; (ii) by at least a majority of those trustees who are neither interested persons, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), of the Registrant (“Independent Trustees”), nor parties to the matter based upon a review of readily available facts; or (iii) by written opinion of independent legal counsel based upon a review of readily available facts.
Pursuant to Article IX, Section 3 of the Trust Instrument, if any present or former shareholder of any series (“Series”) of the Registrant shall be held personally liable solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason, the present or former shareholder (or his or her heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives or in the case of any entity, its general successor) shall be entitled out of the assets belonging to the applicable Series to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability. The Registrant, on behalf of the affected Series, shall, upon request by such shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made against such shareholder for any act or obligation of the Series and satisfy any judgment thereon from the assets of the Series.
Section 9 of the Management Agreements between Neuberger Berman Management LLC (“NB Management”) and the Registrant provide that neither NB Management nor any director, officer or employee of NB Management performing services for any series of the Registrant at the direction or request of NB Management in connection with NB Management’s discharge of its obligations under the Agreements shall be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by a series in connection with any matter to which the Agreements relate; provided, that nothing in the Agreements shall be construed (i) to protect NB Management against any liability to the Registrant or any series thereof or its interest holders to which NB Management would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of NB Management’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreements, or (ii) to protect any director, officer or employee of NB Management who is or was a trustee or officer of the Registrant against any liability to the Registrant or any series thereof or its interest holders to which such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office with the Registrant.
Section 1 of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between NB Management and Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC (“NBFI”) with respect to the Registrant provides that, in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or of reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under the Agreement, NBFI will not be subject to any liability for any act or omission or any loss suffered by any series of the Registrant or their interest holders in connection with the matters to which the Agreements relate.
Section 6 of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between NB Management and NBFI and the Registrant provides that neither NBFI nor any director, officer or employee of NBFI performing services for any series of the Registrant at the direction or request of NBFI in connection with NBFI’s discharge of its obligations under the Agreement shall be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by a series in connection with any matter to which the Agreement relates; provided, that nothing in the Agreement shall be construed (i) to protect NBFI against any liability to the Registrant or any series thereof or its interest holders to which NBFI would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of NBFI’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement, or (ii) to protect any director, officer or employee of NBFI who is or was a trustee or officer of the Registrant against any liability to the Registrant or any series thereof or its interest holders to which such person would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office with the Registrant.
Section 11 of the Administration Agreements between the Registrant and NB Management on behalf of each of the classes of shares of each of the Registrant’s series provides that NB Management will not be liable to the Registrant for any action taken or omitted to be taken by NB Management or its employees, agents or contractors in carrying out the provisions of the Agreement if such action was taken or omitted in good faith and without negligence or misconduct on the part of NB Management, or its employees, agents or contractors. Section 12 of each Administration Agreement provides that the Registrant shall indemnify NB Management and hold it harmless from and against any and all losses, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by NB Management that result from: (i) any claim, action, suit or proceeding in connection with NB Management’s entry into or performance of the Agreement; or (ii) any action taken or omission to act committed by NB Management in the performance of its obligations under the Agreement; or (iii) any action of NB Management upon instructions believed in good faith by it to have been executed by a duly authorized officer or representative of a Series; provided, that NB Management will not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or misconduct on the part of NB Management, or its employees, agents or contractors. Amounts payable by the Registrant under this provision shall be payable solely out of assets belonging to that Series, and not from assets belonging to any other Series of the Registrant. Section 13 of each Administration Agreement provides that NB Management will indemnify the Registrant and hold it harmless from and against any and all losses, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Registrant that result from: (i) NB Management’s failure to comply with the terms of the Agreement; or (ii) NB Management’s lack of good faith in performing its obligations under the Agreement; or (iii) the negligence or misconduct of NB Management, or its employees, agents or contractors in connection with the Agreement. The Registrant shall not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or misconduct on the part of the Registrant or its employees, agents or contractors other than NB Management, unless such negligence or misconduct results from or is accompanied by negligence or misconduct on the part of NB Management, any affiliated person of NB Management, or any affiliated person of an affiliated person of NB Management.
Section 11 or Section 14 of the Distribution Agreements between the Registrant and NB Management (on behalf of each class of the Registrant) provides that NB Management shall look only to the assets of a Series for the Registrant’s performance of the Agreement by the Registrant on behalf of such Series, and neither the Trustees nor any of the Registrant’s officers, employees or agents, whether past, present or future, shall be personally liable herefor.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
