Fidelity Bond Resolutions

 

Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”) held May 14, 2025

 

Approval of Joint Fidelity Bond and Joint Fidelity Bond Agreement

 

Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:

 

RESOLVED, that the Board approves the Joint Fidelity Bond covering the Fund and the Money Market Fund issued by Chubb, having an aggregate coverage of $800,000 and with a premium as agreed, it having been determined to be reasonable in form and amount, after giving due consideration to all factors deemed relevant by the Board, including, among other things, the value of the aggregate assets of the Fund to which any covered person may have access, the arrangements for custody and safekeeping of such assets and the nature of the securities in the Fund’s portfolio; and it is

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the form and amount of the Joint Fidelity Bond coverage and the payment of the premium to be paid by the Fund thereunder is approved after consideration of all factors deemed relevant by the Board, including, but not limited to, the number of other parties named as insureds, the nature of the business activities of such other parties, the amount of the joint insured bond and the amount of the premium of such bond, the ratable allocation of the premium among all parties named as insureds and the extent to which the share of the premium allocated to the Fund is less than the premium the Fund would have had to pay if it had provided and maintained a single insured bond; and it is

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Joint Fidelity Bond Agreement, as presented at the Meeting, be, and it hereby is, approved as the joint insured agreement required by paragraph (f) of Rule 17g-1; and it is

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board approves the filing by the Secretary of the Fund with the SEC to give the notices required under Paragraph (g) of Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act.

 

 

JOINT FIDELITY BOND AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement is made this 14th day of May, 2025 by Atlas U.S. Tactical Income Fund, Inc. and Atlas U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Inc. (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”).

 

WHEREAS, the Funds are management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”); and

 

WHEREAS, each Fund must purchase a bond as required by the 1940 Act and Rule 17g-1 promulgated thereunder under which the Fund is a named insured; and

 

WHEREAS, Rule 17g-1 requires that the named insured under such a bond enter into an agreement with respect to certain matters;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the terms and provisions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.       Description of Bond. Chubb, a reputable fidelity insurance company authorized to do business in Puerto Rico, has issued a joint fidelity bond in the amount of $800,000 (which may be increased from time to time) which designates each of the Funds as named insured (“Bond”).

 

2.       Minimum Recovery. In the event recovery is received under the Bond as a result of loss sustained by a Fund, such Fund shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery which shall be at least equal to the amount which the Fund would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by Rule 17g-1(d)(1).

 

3.       Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall terminate upon the termination or cancellation of the Bond.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed on the date first written above.
