For example, we generally are not permitted to co-invest with certain entities affiliated with CIM in transactions originated by CIM or its affiliates unless we obtain an exemptive order from the SEC. We are currently seeking exemptive relief from the SEC to engage in co-investment transactions with CIM and its affiliates. However, there can be no assurance that we will obtain such exemptive relief. Under the investment sub-advisory agreement, AIM assists CIM in identifying investment opportunities and making investment recommendations for approval by CIM. AIM is not responsible or liable for any such investment decision.</div>
