(&#147;AST&#148;), a professional proxy solicitation firm that has been retained by the Fund for a fee not to exceed $1,500 plus all reasonable out of pocket expenses (mailings, emails, and shareholder telephone calls) incurred on behalf of the

Management, LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, 9th&nbsp;Floor, New York, New York 10010), voting again through the toll-free number or the Internet address listed in the Proxy or at the Meeting by executing a superseding Proxy or by submitting a notice of

by the presence at the virtual meeting or by proxy of the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting. 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 or the Chairman of the Meeting 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 any proposal are not received, the Meeting may be adjourned by the Chairman of the Meeting or the shareholders may propose an adjournment of the Meeting to permit
further solicitation of Proxies. Any such adjournment by the shareholders will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund&#146;s 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 120&nbsp;days after the record date. At such adjourned Meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the original Meeting. If a quorum is present, a shareholder vote may be taken on a proposal properly brought before the Meeting prior to any adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate. </P>

(that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not
have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present at the Meeting but which have not been voted. Accordingly, shareholders are urged to forward their voting instructions promptly. </P>

Committee Chair&#146;s annual fee increased to $2,608.50; and the Nominating Committee Chair&#146;s annual fee decreased to $1,071.50. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023, the Board convened twenty-four times. Each Director attended at least seventy-five percent
of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and any committees on which he or she served during the period for which he or she was a Director. </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 Director. The Board meets at regularly scheduled quarterly meetings each year. In addition, the Board may hold special 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 Directors 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 Laura A. DeFelice, a Non-Interested Director, to serve in the role of Chair. The Chair&#146;s role is to preside at all
meetings of the Board and to act as a liaison with Credit Suisse, counsel and other Directors generally between meetings. The Chair serves as a key point person for dealings between management and the Directors. The Chair 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 Directors 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

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 Directors, except for John Popp, constitute the Fund&#146;s Audit Committee, which is
composed of Directors who are not interested persons of the Fund and who are independent (as such term is defined by the listing standards of the NYSE American, LLC, formerly known as NYSE MKT, LLC (the &#147;NYSE American&#148;)). The Audit
Committee convened eight times during the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023. The Audit Committee advises the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and financial matters affecting the Fund. </P>

Nominating Committee held on February 13, 2024, the Nominating Committee (with the nominees abstaining from voting) determined to recommend to the full Board the nomination of each of Mahendra R. Gupta and John G. Popp for a three-year term. The
Nominating Committee selects and recommends to the full Board candidates for nomination as Directors. The Board has adopted a Nominating Committee Charter (a copy of which is included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement). In nominating candidates,
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
thereof. With respect to diversity, the Nominating Committee considers whether a candidate&#146;s background, experience and skills will contribute to the diversity of the Board. </P>
