For purposes of the Below-NAV Share Issuance Proposal, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, defines a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" as the vote of the lesser of: (1) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Company present at the Special Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company are present or represented by proxy; or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company.
