office until the 2018 and 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, respectively, or thereafter until their respective successors are elected and qualified. Stockholders will not be asked to elect any Class II Directors, as the terms of office of the
Class&nbsp;II Directors expire at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2017 or thereafter until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. These staggered terms have the effect of limiting the ability of other entities or persons
to acquire control of the Fund by delaying the replacement of a majority of the Board of Directors and could have the effect of depriving Stockholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging

providers including AAMAL, the Fund&#146;s custodian, and the transfer agent. As part of this process, the Directors consult with the Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm, and the directors who are not considered to be
&#147;interested persons&#148; of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (&#147;Independent Directors&#148;) consult with their own separate independent counsel. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">The Directors regularly review the Fund&#146;s financial statements, performance and market price as well as the quality of the services being provided to the Fund. As part of this process, the Directors
review the Fund&#146;s fees and expenses to determine if they are reasonable and competitive in light of the services being received, while also ensuring that the Fund continues to have access to high quality services in the future. Based on these
reviews, the Directors periodically make suggestions to the Fund&#146;s management and monitor to ensure that responsive action is taken. The Directors also monitor potential conflicts of interest among the Fund, AAMAL and its affiliates and other
funds and clients managed by AAMAL with the objective that the Fund will be managed in a manner that is in the best interest of the Fund&#146;s Stockholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">The Board of Directors has four regularly scheduled meetings each year and additional meetings are scheduled as needed. Furthermore, the Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee and a Nominating
Committee, which meet periodically during the year and the responsibilities of which are described below, each composed entirely of Directors who are not &#147;interested persons&#148; of the Fund, AAMAL or its affiliates within the meaning of the
1940 Act, and who are &#147;independent&#148; as defined in the NYSE listing standards (&#147;Independent Directors&#148;). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">The
Board of Directors is currently comprised of nine Directors, seven of whom are &#147;independent&#148; as defined in the NYSE listing standards. Mr.&nbsp;Salacuse serves as Chairman of the Board and is an Independent Director. The Independent
Directors have separate legal counsel and regularly meet apart from management. In fulfilling their general oversight responsibility, the Directors regularly receive reports from the Fund&#146;s investment manager, the Fund&#146;s Chief Compliance
Officer (&#147;CCO&#148;), counsel to the Fund and counsel to the Independent Directors. The Board&#146;s role in risk oversight of the Fund reflects its responsibility under applicable state law to oversee generally, rather than to manage, the
operations of the Fund. In line with this general oversight responsibility, the Board receives reports and makes regular inquiries at its quarterly meetings and as needed regarding the nature and extent of significant Fund risks (including
investment, compliance and valuation risks) that could potentially have a materially adverse impact on the business </FONT></P>

operations, investment performance or reputation of the Fund. However, the Board relies upon the Fund&#146;s management (including its portfolio managers and CCO, who reports directly to the
Board) and AAMAL to assist it in identifying and understanding the nature and extent of such risks and determining that such risks are being effectively managed by the implementation of appropriate policies, procedures and controls. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">In addition to receiving reports and other information from Fund management and AAMAL regarding the Fund&#146;s investment program and
activities, the Board, as part of its risk oversight efforts, meets at its quarterly meetings and as needed with the Fund&#146;s CCO to discuss, among other things, any issues regarding the policies, procedures and controls of the Fund. The Board
may be assisted in performing aspects of its role in risk oversight by the Audit Committee and such other standing or special committees as may be established from time to time by the Board. Because the Chairman of the Board and the Chair of each of
the Board&#146;s Audit and Nominating Committees is an Independent Director, the manner in which the Board administers its risk oversight efforts is not expected to have any significant impact on the Board&#146;s leadership structure. Based on a
review of the Board and its functions, the Board has determined that the leadership structure of the Board of Directors, including its role in risk oversight, is appropriate given the characteristics and circumstances of the Fund. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">The Board recognizes that not all risks that may affect the Fund can be identified, that it may not be practical or cost-effective to
eliminate or mitigate certain risks, that it may be necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve the Fund&#146;s goals, and that the processes, procedures and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited
in their effectiveness. Moreover, despite the periodic reports the Board receives, it may not be made aware of all of the relevant information of a particular risk. Most of the Fund&#146;s investment management and business affairs are carried out
by or through the Fund&#146;s management and AAMAL and other service providers, each of which has an independent interest in risk management but whose policies and the methods by which one or more risk management functions are carried out may differ
from the Fund&#146;s and each other&#146;s in the setting of priorities, the resources available or the effectiveness of relevant controls. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Board&#146;s risk management oversight is subject to
substantial limitations. </FONT></P>

Specifically, the Board approved an amendment to the Fund&#146;s By-Laws, effective September&nbsp;30, 2015, to provide for the election of Directors by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of Stockholders at which a quorum is present, except
in contested elections, where a Director shall be elected by a plurality vote. The Fund&#146;s By-laws previously provided that Directors be elected by a plurality vote in all Director elections. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">At the same time, the Board also adopted certain corporate governance policies for the Fund, effective September&nbsp;30, 2015. The
corporate governance policies include (i)&nbsp;a resignation policy, which generally provides that a Director who does not receive a majority of votes cast &#147;For&#148; his or her election at a meeting of Stockholders shall be deemed to have
tendered his or her resignation, subject to the Board&#146;s acceptance or rejection of such resignation, which Board determination will be disclosed publicly to Fund Stockholders; and (ii)&nbsp;a policy requiring that after an Independent Director
has served on the Board for three consecutive three-year terms following the later of the appointment of the Fund&#146;s then-current investment manager and the initial election of the Director by the Fund&#146;s Stockholders, the Director will be
put forth for consideration by Stockholders annually. The failure to obtain a majority of votes cast will trigger the resignation policy described above. Although the charter of the Fund provides that the Board be classified into three classes with
the Directors in each class having a term of three years, under the new corporate governance policies, Directors are agreeing to submit to annual elections once they have completed the three consecutive three-year terms noted above. </FONT></P>
