constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting, the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy will have the power to adjourn the Meeting, without notice other
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 represented 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

combination with those of the other Trustees and nominees lead to the conclusion that each Trustee and nominee should serve as a Trustee. Among the attributes common to all Trustees and nominees 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 or nominee&#146;s ability to perform his or her duties effectively may have been attained through the Trustee&#146;s or nominee&#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 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

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 John Popp, constitute the Fund&#146;s Audit Committee, which is composed of Trustees who are
