than an announcement at the Meeting, until the requisite number of shares entitled to vote at the Meeting is present. In the event that a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve the proposal are not received, the persons
named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of Proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares presented at the Meeting in person or by proxy, and
the persons named as proxies will vote those Proxies that they are entitled to vote &#147;FOR&#148; any proposal in favor of such adjournment and will vote those Proxies required to be voted &#147;AGAINST&#148; any proposal against any such
adjournment. Absent the establishment of a subsequent record date and the giving of notice to the holders of record thereon, the adjourned Meeting must take place not more than 130 days after the record date. At such adjourned Meeting, any business
may be transacted which could have been transacted at the original Meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A Proxy that is properly executed and returned accompanied by

person entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the broker or nominee does not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present, but that have not voted, for the purpose of determining a quorum for the
transacting of business. Under Delaware law, abstentions and broker non-votes do not constitute a vote &#147;FOR&#148; or &#147;AGAINST&#148; a matter. The election of a Trustee requires that the successful candidate receive a plurality of votes
cast at the Meeting in person or by proxy; therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will be disregarded. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Credit Suisse and its

those of the other Trustees lead to the conclusion that each Trustee should serve in such capacity. Among the attributes common to all Trustees are their ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to
interact effectively with the other Trustees, Credit Suisse, other service providers, counsel and the independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties as Trustees. A
Trustee&#146;s ability to perform his or her duties effectively may have been attained through the Trustee&#146;s business, consulting, public service and/or academic positions; experience from service as a board member of the Fund and the other
funds in the Fund Complex, other investment funds, public companies, or non-profit entities or other organizations; educational background or professional training; and/or other life experiences. In addition to these shared characteristics, set
forth below is a brief discussion of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each Trustee that support the conclusion that each person should serve as a Trustee. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Overall responsibility for oversight of the Fund rests with the Board. The Fund has engaged Credit Suisse to manage the Fund on a day-to-day
basis. The Board is responsible for overseeing Credit Suisse and other service providers in the operations of the Fund in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, applicable provisions of state and other laws and the Fund&#146;s charter. The
Board is currently composed of five members, each of whom, other than Mr.&nbsp;Popp, is a Non-Interested Trustee. The Board meets in-person at regularly scheduled quarterly meetings each year. In addition, the Board may hold special in-person or
telephonic meetings or informal conference calls to discuss specific matters that may arise or require action between regular meetings. As described below, the Board has established a Nominating Committee and an Audit Committee, and may establish ad
hoc committees or working groups from time to time, to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Non-Interested Trustees have also engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their oversight
responsibilities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board has appointed Steven Rappaport, a Non-Interested Trustee, to serve in the role of Chairman. The

Board and to act as a liaison with Credit Suisse, counsel and other Trustees generally between meetings. The Chairman serves as a key point person for dealings between management and the
Trustees. The Chairman may also perform such other functions as may be delegated by the Board from time to time. The Board reviews matters related to its leadership structure annually. The Board has determined that the Board&#146;s leadership
structure is appropriate because it allows the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over the matters under its purview and it allocates areas of responsibility among committees of Trustees and the full Board in a manner that enhances
effective oversight. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Fund is subject to a number of risks, including investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks, among
others. Risk oversight forms part of the Board&#146;s general oversight of the Fund and is addressed as part of various Board and committee activities. Day-to-day risk management functions are subsumed within the responsibilities of Credit Suisse
and other service providers (depending on the nature of the risk), which carry out the Fund&#146;s investment management and business affairs. Credit Suisse and other service providers employ a variety of processes, procedures and controls to
identify various events or circumstances that give rise to risks, to lessen the probability of their occurrence and/or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur. Each of Credit Suisse and other service providers has
their own independent interest in risk management, and their policies and methods of risk management will depend on their functions and business models. The Board recognizes that it is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the
Fund or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. As part of its regular oversight of the Fund, the Board interacts with and reviews reports from, among others, Credit Suisse, the Fund&#146;s Chief
Compliance Officer, the Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm and counsel, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Fund and applicable risk controls. The Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in
which it conducts risk oversight. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All of the Trustees, except for Lawrence Fox and John Popp, constitute the Fund&#146;s Audit Committee,
which is composed of Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund and who are independent (as such term is defined by the listing standards of the NYSE MKT, LLC, formerly known as New York Stock Exchange Amex (the &#147;NYSE MKT&#148;)). The
Audit Committee convened four times during the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2016. The Audit Committee advises the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and financial matters affecting the Fund. </P>

the Nominating Committee will take into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include judgment, skill, diversity, experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity, size
and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight, the interplay of the candidate&#146;s experience with the experience of other Board members, and the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees

Fund and to Credit Suisse and certain of its affiliates. The Audit Committee advises the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and financial matters affecting the Fund. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for
