This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card are first being sent to shareholders on or about April 9, 2025.

It is important that every shareholder participate in the voting process by casting your vote following the instructions provided on your proxy card so that we can achieve a quorum and hold the Annual Meeting. The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person via webcast or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the Fund’s shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not met, then we will be required to adjourn the meeting and incur additional expenses to continue to solicit additional votes.

We encourage you to vote by granting a proxy (i.e., authorizing someone to vote your shares). If you follow the directions on the accompanying proxy card to record your voting instructions by telephone or via the internet, or properly sign and date the accompanying proxy card, and we receive it in time for the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares registered directly in your name in the manner that you specified. If you properly execute the proxy card and give no instructions on the proxy card, the shares covered by the proxy card will be voted FOR the election of the nominees as Trustees.

If you are a shareholder “of record” (i.e., you hold shares directly in your name), you may revoke a proxy at any time before it is exercised by notifying the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer in writing, by submitting a properly executed, later-dated proxy, or by voting virtually at the Annual Meeting.

The Annual Meeting has been called for the following purposes:

You may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting only if you were a shareholder of record at the close of business on March 26, 2025 (the “Record Date”). At the close of business on the Record Date, the Fund had 31,236,730 common shares outstanding. Each share is entitled to one vote.

The holders of a majority of the Fund’s shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person via webcast or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting for the transaction of business.

If a quorum is not met, then we will be required to adjourn the meeting and incur additional expenses to continue to solicit additional votes.

Shares that are present at the Annual Meeting, but then abstain, will be treated as present for purposes of establishing a quorum. However, abstentions on a matter are not treated as votes cast on such matter.

Proposal: Election of Trustees. The election of a Trustee requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the Fund’s shares entitled to vote represented in person via webcast or by proxy at the Annual Meeting so long as a quorum is present. If you vote to “Withhold Authority” with respect to a nominee, your shares will not be voted with respect to the nominee. Because the Fund requires a plurality of votes to elect a Trustee, withheld votes, if any, will not have an effect on the outcome of the Proposal.

Adjournment. The Annual Meeting may be adjourned from time to time pursuant to our bylaws. If a quorum is not present or represented at the Annual Meeting or if the chair of the Annual Meeting believes it is in the best interests of the Fund, the chair of the Annual Meeting has the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in our bylaws, until a quorum will be present or represented or to provide additional time to solicit votes for one or more proposals.

The Fund will bear all costs and expenses related to the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting, including the cost of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement, the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and proxy cards.

The Fund has retained Computershare, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the distribution, solicitation and tabulation of proxies. It is anticipated that Computershare will be paid approximately $17,800 for such services (including reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses).

In addition to the solicitation of proxies by the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited in person and by telephone or facsimile transmission by trustees, officers or employees of the Fund, BlackRock Capital Investment Advisors, LLC, which is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Investment Adviser”), and/or BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., which is the Fund’s administrator (the “Administrator”). The Investment Adviser and the Administrator are each located at 50 Hudson Yards, New York, New York 10001. No additional compensation will be paid to trustees, officers, regular employees, the Investment Adviser or the Administrator for such services.

Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by notice from the person giving the proxy at any time before it is exercised. Any such notice of revocation should be provided in writing and signed by the shareholder in the same manner as the proxy being revoked and delivered to our proxy tabulator.

Our Trustees are divided into two groups—interested trustees and independent trustees. “Interested Trustees” are those who are “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act. “Independent Trustees” are those who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act.

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2024, certain ownership information with respect to the Fund’s shares for those persons who may, insofar as is known to us, directly or indirectly own, control or hold with the power to vote, 5% or more of our outstanding common shares and the beneficial ownership of each current Trustee and executive officer, and the executive officers and Trustees as a group. Persons that own more than 25% of our outstanding voting securities are presumed to control us, as such term is defined in the 1940 Act. As of March 26, 2025, all Trustees and executive officers as a group owned less than 1% of the Fund’s outstanding common shares.

Ownership information for those persons, if any, who own, control or hold with the power to vote, 5% or more of our shares is based upon Form 3, Form 4, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G filings by such persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and other information obtained from such persons, if available. Such ownership information is as of the date of the applicable filing and may no longer be accurate.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that each person set forth in the table below has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of the Fund he or she beneficially owns and has the same address as the Fund. The Fund’s address is 50 Hudson Yards, New York, New York 10001.

The following table sets out the dollar range of our equity securities beneficially owned by each of our Trustees and the Trustee nominees as of December 31, 2024. We are not part of a “family of investment companies,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act.

Pursuant to our Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Bylaws our Board of Trustees may change the number of Trustees constituting the Board of Trustees, provided that the number thereof will never be less than two nor more than fifteen. We currently have five Trustees on our Board of Trustees. The Trustees of the Fund are classified into three classes of Trustees. Eric J. Draut is the Class I Trustee of the Fund and will stand for re-election at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders of the Fund. Andrea L. Petro and John Perlowski are the Class II Trustees of the Fund and will stand for re-election at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders of the Fund. Maureen K. Usifer is a Class III Trustee of the Fund and will stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Philip Tseng has been appointed as a Class III Trustee effective as of the close of business on May 18, 2025 and will stand for election at the Annual Meeting. Peter Schwab currently serves as a Class III Trustee whose term will expire as of the close of business on May 18, 2025 and is not standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting. If any Trustee is unavailable for re-election at the time of the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote for such substitute nominee(s) as the Fund’s Governance and Compensation Committee may select.

The Class III Trustee nominees, if elected at the Annual Meeting, will serve until the later of the date of our 2028 Annual Meeting or until his or her successor is elected and qualifies, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal.

A shareholder can vote for or withhold his or her vote from the nominees. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named as proxies to vote such proxy FOR the election of the nominees named below. If a nominee should decline or be unable to serve as a Trustee, it is intended that the proxy will be voted for the election of such person as is nominated by the Board of Trustees as a replacement. The Board of Trustees has no reason to believe that the nominees named below will be unable or unwilling to serve, and such persons have consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if elected.

The Board of Trustees recommends that you vote FOR the election of the nominee named in this Proxy Statement.

Certain information with respect to the nominees for election at the Annual Meeting and the Trustees is set forth below, including their names, ages, a brief description of their recent business experience, including present occupations and employment, certain directorships that each person holds, and the year in which each person became a Trustee.

The 1940 Act requires that our Board of Trustees consist of at least a majority of independent trustees. Under the 1940 Act, in order for a Trustee to be deemed independent, he or she, among other things, generally must not: own,

control or hold with the power to vote, 5% or more of the voting securities of, or control the Fund or an investment adviser or principal underwriter to the Fund; be an officer, trustee or employee of the Fund or of an investment adviser or principal underwriter to the Fund; be a member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons; knowingly have a direct or indirect beneficial interest in, or be designated as an executor, guardian or trustee of an interest in, any security issued by an investment adviser or principal underwriter to the Fund or any parent company thereof; be a partner or employee of any firm that has acted as legal counsel to the Fund or an investment adviser or principal underwriter to the Fund during the last two years; or have certain relationships with a broker-dealer or other person that has engaged in agency transactions, principal transactions with, lent money or other property to, or distributed shares on behalf of, the Fund.

The Board of Trustees has considered the independence of members of the Board of Trustees who are not employed by the Investment Adviser and has concluded that Andrea L. Petro, and Maureen K. Usifer are not “interested persons” as defined by the 1940 Act and therefore qualify as independent trustees under the standards promulgated by the 1940 Act. In addition, the Board of Trustees has concluded that Eric J. Draut is currently an “interested person,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, of the Fund and will cease to be an “interested person” of the Fund as of the close of business on May 18, 2025. In reaching these conclusions, the Board of Trustees concluded that Mses. Petro and Usifer, and Mr. Draut had no relationships with the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates, other than their positions as Trustees of the Fund and directors of business development companies managed by the Investment Adviser and its affiliate, and other than, if applicable, investments in us or other private funds managed by the Investment Adviser that are on the same terms as those of other shareholders and investors.

Philip Tseng and Maureen K. Usifer have been nominated for election as a Trustee to serve until the 2028 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund, or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. Mr. Tseng and Ms. Usifer have not been proposed for election pursuant to any agreement or understanding with any other Trustee or the Fund.

Mr. Peter Schwab currently serves as an Independent Trustee of the Company for a term that expires on May 18, 2025 and is not standing for re-election at the Meeting.

The Board of Trustees has adopted procedures for evaluating potential Trustee candidates against the knowledge, experience, skills, expertise and diversity that it believes are necessary and desirable for such candidates. The Board of Trustees believes that each Trustee satisfied, at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by such procedures. Furthermore, in determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board of Trustees has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board of Trustees believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, skills, attributes and qualifications, which allow the Board of Trustees to operate effectively in governing the Fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. 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 Investment Adviser and other service providers, counsel and independent auditors, and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties as Trustees.

Each Trustee’s ability to perform his or her duties effectively is evidenced by his or her educational background or professional training; business, consulting, public service or academic positions; experience from service as a member of the Board of Trustees, other investment companies, public companies, or non-profit entities or other organizations; ongoing commitment and participation in Board of Trustees and committee meetings, as well as his or her leadership of standing committees; or other relevant life experiences. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board of Trustees’ conclusion that the Trustee should serve as a Trustee of the Fund, is provided below.

John Perlowski is a Trustee of the Fund. Mr. Perlowski’s experience as Managing Director of BlackRock, Inc. since 2009, as the Head of BlackRock Global Accounting and Product Services since 2009, and as a board member and officer of investment companies provides him with a strong understanding of the Fund, its operations, and the business and regulatory issues facing the Fund. Mr. Perlowski’s prior position as Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Global Product Group at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, and his former service as Treasurer and Senior Vice President of the Goldman Sachs Mutual Funds and as Director of the Goldman Sachs Offshore Funds provides the Board with the benefit of his experience with the management practices of other financial companies.

Mr. Draut is currently an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund by virtue of his position as a director of a company that purchased debt securities issued by the Fund. It is expected that Mr. Draut will cease to be an “interested person” of the Fund as of May 18, 2025. Therefore, it is expected that at the time of the Meeting, Mr. Draut will not be an “interested person” of the Fund.

Our Trustees have been divided into two groups—Interested Trustees and Independent Trustees. Interested Trustees are “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act.

John Perlowski is an Interested Trustee by virtue of his employment with the Investment Adviser. Effective as of his appointment to the Board at the close of business on May 18, 2025, Philip Tseng will be an Interested Trustee by virtue of his employment with the Investment Adviser. The Board of Trustees believes that Mr. Perlowski’s and Mr. Tseng’s respective employment with the Investment Adviser allows for the efficient mobilization of the Investment Adviser’s resources at the Board of Trustees’ behest and on its behalf.

Eric J. Draut is currently an Interested Trustee by virtue of his position as a director of a company that purchased debt securities issued by the Fund. It is expected that Mr. Draut will cease to be an Interested Trustee and will become an Independent Trustee as of the close of business on May 18, 2025. Therefore, it is expected that at the time of the Meeting, Mr. Draut will be an Independent Trustee.

The Board of Trustees does not currently have a lead Independent Trustee. Mr. Draut currently serves as Chair of the Board. As of the close of business on May 18, 2025, Mr. Tseng will become Chair of the Board and Mr. Draut will cease to serve as Chair of the Board and will be appointed as Lead Independent Trustee.

The Board of Trustees believes its relatively small size and the composition and leadership of its committees allow each trustee to enjoy full, accurate and efficient communication with the Fund, the Investment Adviser and management, and facilitates the timely transmission of information among such parties.

On an annual basis, each member of the Board of Trustees is required to complete an independence questionnaire designed to provide information to assist the Board of Trustees in determining whether the trustee is independent. The Board of Trustees has determined that each of the trustees, other than the Interested Trustees, is independent under the 1940 Act.

The Board of Trustees is regularly informed on developments and issues related to the business of the Fund, and monitors the activities and responsibilities of the officers in various ways. At each regular meeting of the Board of Trustees, the officers report to the Board of Trustees on developments and important issues. Each of the officers, as applicable, also provides regular updates to the members of the Board of Trustees regarding the Fund’s business between the dates of regular meetings of the Board of Trustees. Officers and other members of the Investment Adviser, at the invitation of the Board of Trustees, regularly attend portions of meetings of the Board of Trustees and its committees to report on the financial results of the Fund, its operations, performance and outlook, and on areas of the business within their responsibility, including risk management and management information systems, as well as other business matters.

Day-to-day risk management with respect to the Fund is the responsibility of the Investment Adviser or other service providers (depending on the nature of the risk) subject to the supervision of the Investment Adviser. The Fund is subject to a number of risks, including investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks, among others. While there are a number of risk management functions performed by the Investment Adviser and the other service providers, as applicable, it is not possible to eliminate all of the risks applicable to the Fund. Risk oversight is part of the Board of Trustees’ general oversight of the Fund and is addressed as part of various Board of Trustees and committee activities. The Board of Trustees, directly or through a committee, also reviews reports from, among others, management, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund and internal accounting personnel for the Investment Adviser, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Fund and management’s or the service provider’s risk functions. The committee system facilitates the timely and efficient consideration of matters by the trustees, and facilitates effective oversight of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and of the Fund’s activities and associated risks. The Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer oversees the implementation and testing of the Fund’s compliance program and reports to the Board of Trustees regarding compliance matters for the Fund and its service providers. The Independent Trustees have engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities.

The Fund adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act that establishes procedures for personal investments and restricts certain personal securities transactions. Personnel subject to such code may invest in securities for their personal investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund, so long as such investments are made in accordance with the code’s requirements. In addition, the code of ethics is attached as an exhibit to the Fund’s registration statement on Form N-2, and is available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s Internet site at http://www.sec.gov. You may also obtain copies of the code of ethics, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following e-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov, or by writing the SEC’s Public Reference Section, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.

The Fund’s codes of ethics and business conduct do not expressly prohibit Trustees or Senior Officers from engaging in hedging transactions with respect to its securities.

During the Fund’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Board of Trustees met eighteen times. No incumbent Trustee who was a Trustee during such fiscal year attended less than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Trustees and of each committee of the Board of Trustees on which the Trustee served during the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year.

Our Board of Trustees currently has three committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Compensation Committee and a Joint Transactions Committee.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter approved by the Board of Trustees. The Audit Committee currently holds regular meetings on a quarterly basis and special meetings as needed. The Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The charter sets forth the responsibilities of the Audit Committee and can be accessed at www.bdebt.com/resources-1/default.aspx. The primary function of the Audit Committee is to serve as an independent and objective party to assist the Board of Trustees in fulfilling its responsibilities for overseeing all material aspects of the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting processes, monitoring the independence and performance of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, providing a means for open communication among the Fund’s independent accountants, financial and senior management and the Board of Trustees, and overseeing the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee is presently composed of Andrea L. Petro, Peter Schwab and Maureen K. Usifer (Chair), each of whom is considered independent for purposes of the 1940 Act. The Board of Trustees has determined that each of Andrea L. Petro, Peter Schwab and Maureen K. Usifer is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It is expected that once Mr. Draut is no longer an “interested person” of the Company he will be appointed as a member of the Audit Committee as of the close of business on May 18, 2025.

Governance and Compensation Committee. The Governance and Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a charter approved by the Board of Trustees. The charter sets forth the responsibilities of the Governance and Compensation Committee, including, but not limited to, making nominations for the appointment or election of Independent Trustees, personnel training policies, administering the provisions of the code of ethics applicable to the Independent Trustees and determining, or recommending to the Board of Trustees for determination, the compensation of any officers of the Fund. The charter can be accessed at www.bdebt.com/resources-1/default.aspx. Currently the Fund’s officers do not receive any direct compensation from the Fund. The Governance and Compensation Committee is presently composed of Andrea L. Petro (Chair), Peter Schwab and Maureen K. Usifer, each of whom is considered independent for purposes of the 1940 Act. During the Fund’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Governance and Compensation Committee met three times. It is expected that once Mr. Draut is no longer an “interested person” of the Company he will be appointed as a member of the Governance and Compensation Committee as of the close of business on May 18, 2025.

Joint Transactions Committee. The Joint Transactions Committee operates to approve the allocation of certain private placement transactions in which the Fund participates with one or more of the Adviser’s other accounts in accordance with an exemptive order obtained from the Commission. The Joint Transactions Committee, presently

The following table shows information regarding the compensation earned or actually received by the Fund’s trustees, none of whom is an employee of the Fund, for service as a trustee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. No compensation is paid by the Fund to Interested Trustees who are “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Investment Adviser.

The Fund is authorized to pay each Trustee (other than Interested Trustees who are “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Investment Adviser) the following amounts for serving as a Trustee: (i) an annual retainer of (a) $50,000 per year for each year in which the Fund’s net asset value is $1 billion or less; (b) $75,000 per year for each year in which the Fund’s net asset value is between $1 billion and $2 billion; or (c) $100,000 per year for each year in which the Fund’s net asset value is greater than $2 billion (in each case, prorated for any partial calendar year for which a Trustee serves), (ii) $2,500 for each regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Fund attended by such Trustee, (iii) $1,000 for each meeting of a committee of the Board of Trustees, other than the Joint Transactions Committee, attended by such Trustee, (iv) $500 for each meeting of the Joint Transactions Committee of the Board of Trustees attended by such Trustee, (v) a supplemental retainer at the annual rate of $7,500 per year for the Audit Committee Chair and (vi) a supplemental retainer at the annual rate of $5,000 per year for the Governance and Compensation Committee Chair.

None of the officers receive compensation from the Fund. The compensation of the officers is paid by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates. A portion of such compensation may be reimbursed by the Fund for the cost to the Administrator of administrative services rendered by such officer on behalf of the Fund.

The governing documents of the Fund generally provide that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Fund will indemnify its Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with the Fund unless, as to liability to the Fund or its investors, it is finally adjudicated that they engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in their offices. In addition, the Fund will not indemnify Trustees with respect to any matter as to which Trustees did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Fund or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, as to which the Trustees had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. Indemnification provisions contained in the Fund’s governing documents are subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law.

The Fund has entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:

The Investment Adviser and its affiliates, employees and associates currently do and in the future may manage other funds and accounts. The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for the Fund and for one or more of those other funds or accounts. Accordingly, conflicts may arise regarding the allocation of investments or opportunities among the Fund and those accounts. In general, the Investment Adviser will allocate investment opportunities pro rata among the Fund and the other funds and accounts (assuming the investment satisfies the objectives of each) based on the amount of committed capital each then has available. The allocation of certain investment opportunities in private placements will continue to be subject to Independent Trustee approval pursuant to the terms of the co-investment exemptive order applicable to the Fund. In certain cases, investment opportunities may be made other than on a pro rata basis. For example, the Fund may desire to retain an asset at the same time that one or more other funds or accounts desire to sell it or the Fund may not have additional capital to invest at a time the other funds or accounts do. If the Investment Adviser is unable to manage the Fund’s investments effectively, the Fund may be unable to achieve its investment objective. In addition, the Investment Adviser may face conflicts in allocating investment opportunities between the Fund and certain other entities that could impact the Fund’s investment returns.

While the Fund’s ability to enter into transactions with its affiliates is restricted under the 1940 Act, the Fund has received co-investment exemptive relief from the Commission permitting certain affiliated investments subject to certain conditions. The exemptive relief may enable the Fund to participate in certain transactions that it could not invest in without the relief. However, as a result, the Fund may face conflicts of interest on investments made pursuant to the exemptive relief conditions which could in certain circumstances affect adversely the price paid or received by the Fund or the availability or size of the position purchased or sold by it.

Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) has been selected as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Fund as of and for the Fund’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. D&T was selected by the Audit Committee of the Fund, and that selection was ratified by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, by a vote cast at an in-person meeting. The Fund does not know of any direct or indirect financial interest of D&T in the Fund. A representative of D&T will participate in the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to answer questions.

Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end consolidated financial statements and reviews of the condensed consolidated financial statements filed with the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, as well as work generally only the independent registered public accounting firm can be reasonably expected to provide, such as the review of documents filed with the SEC, including certain 8-K filings. Audit fees also include fees for the audit opinion rendered regarding the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services, such as comfort letters and consents, that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. The amounts reported also include fees related to the filing and maintenance of the Fund’s registration statement on Form N-2.

Tax services fees consist of fees billed for professional services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm’s tax personnel for tax compliance. These services include assistance regarding federal, state and local tax compliance, except those services specifically related to the audit and review of financial statements.

All other fees would include fees for products and services other than the services reported above.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. Management is responsible for the Fund’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. The Audit Committee is required to approve all audit engagement fees and terms for the Fund. The Audit Committee also is required to consider and act upon (i) the provision by the Fund’s independent accountant of any non-audit services to the Fund, and (ii) the provision by the Fund’s independent accountant of non-audit services to the Fund and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Fund that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Service Providers”) to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the Commission.

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit, review and attest engagements required under the securities laws and regulations provided by the Fund’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee also approves all non-audit services, including tax services, provided to the Fund by the Fund’s independent auditors and verifies, at the time of pre-approval, that such pre-approved non-audit services would not be prohibited services under securities regulations. The Audit Committee pre-approves all non-audit services provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to the Fund’s Investment Adviser and to affiliates of the Investment Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund, but only if the non-audit services have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the Fund.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the Fund’s audited financial statements and met and held discussions with management and with D&T, with and without management present, regarding the audited financial statements. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that the Fund’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Audit Committee has discussed with D&T the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the Commission. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from D&T required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding D&T’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with D&T its independence.

Based on the Audit Committee’s review and discussions referred to above, including its discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee’s review of the audited financial statements, the representations of management and the report of the D&T to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board include the audited financial statements in the Fund’s annual report on

Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee has also recommended and the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, has approved selecting D&T to serve as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025.
