Liquidity Plan with Tender Offers
The liquidity plan includes an initial tender offer for up to 12.5% of common shares at 98% of NAV within 45 days, followed by two contingent tender offers for up to an additional 12.5% of shares in total if the Fund does not achieve specified discount or NAV performance conditions.

Contingent Tender Conditions
Contingent tender offers are designed to protect shareholders if the Fund's discount remains wide or performance does not meaningfully improve; they would provide shareholders the opportunity to sell shares at 98% of NAV unless the discount narrows below 15% on 15 out of 20 consecutive trading days or the Fund meets a NAV performance condition of a $0.25 per share increase in addition to distributions.
