Common share distributions may be paid from net investment
income (regular interest and dividends), capital gains and/or a
return of capital. The specific tax characteristics of the
distributions will be reported to the Trust’s common shareholders
on Form 1099 after the end of the 2021 calendar year. Shareholders
should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Trust
is net income or profit. For further information regarding the
Trust’s distributions, please visit

The Trust’s net investment income and capital gain can vary
significantly over time; however, the Trust seeks to maintain more
stable common share monthly distributions over time. The Trust’s
investments in CLOs are subject to complex tax rules and the
calculation of taxable income attributed to an investment in CLO
subordinated notes can be dramatically different from the
calculation of income for financial reporting purposes under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“U.S. GAAP”), and, as a result, there may be significant
differences between the Trust’s GAAP income and its taxable income.
The Trust’s final taxable income for the current fiscal year will
not be known until the Trust’s tax returns are filed.
As a registered investment company, the Trust is subject to a 4%
excise tax that is imposed if the Trust does not distribute to
common shareholders by the end of any calendar year at least the
sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any
capital gain or loss) for the calendar year and (ii) 98.2% of its
capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain
ordinary losses) for a one-year period generally ending on October
31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the
Trust’s fiscal year). In certain circumstances, the Trust may elect
to retain income or capital gain to the extent that the Board of
Trustees, in consultation with Trust management, determines it to
be in the interest of shareholders to do so.
The common share distributions paid by the Trust for any
particular period may be more than the amount of net investment
income from that period. As a result, all or a portion of a
distribution may be a return of capital, which is in effect a
partial return of the amount a common shareholder invested in the
Trust, up to the amount of the common shareholder’s tax basis in
their common shares, which would reduce such tax basis. Although a
return of capital may not be taxable, it will generally increase
the common shareholder’s potential gain, or reduce the common
shareholder’s potential loss, on any subsequent sale or other
disposition of common shares.
The distribution shall be paid on the Payment Date unless the
payment of such distribution is deferred by the Board of Trustees
upon a determination that such deferral is required in order to
comply with applicable law, to ensure that the Trust remains
solvent and able to pay its debts as they become due and continue
as a going concern, or to comply with the applicable terms or
financial covenants of the Trust’s senior securities.
Future common share distributions will be made if and when
declared by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, based on a consideration
of number of factors, including the Trust’s continued compliance
with terms and financial covenants of its senior securities, the
Trust’s net investment income, financial performance and available
cash. There can be no assurance that the amount or timing of common
share distributions in the future will be equal or similar to that
described herein or that the Board of Trustees will not decide to
suspend or discontinue the payment of common share distributions in
the future.
The investment objective of the Trust is to seek attractive
total return with an emphasis on income generation across multiple
stages of the credit cycle. The Trust seeks to achieve its
investment objective by investing in a dynamically managed
portfolio of opportunities primarily within the private credit
markets. Under normal market conditions, the Trust will invest at
least 80% of its Managed Assets in floating rate credit instruments
and other structured credit investments. There can be no assurance
that the Trust will achieve its investment objective.
