(the “Fund”), a registered closed-end management investment company
listed on the New York Stock Exchange, is notifying shareholders,
prospective shareholders, and third parties of the sources of
distributions pursuant to Section 19(a) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”).

2024. Distributions paid prior to June 21, 2024 have been adjusted
so that the figures above are presented on a split-adjusted
basis.
Shareholders, prospective shareholders, and third parties
should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment
performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms
of the Fund’s Plan (as defined below). The Fund estimates that it
has distributed more than its income and net realized capital
gains; therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distribution to
shareholders may be a return of capital. A return of capital may
occur, for example, when some or all of the money that a
shareholder invested in a Fund is paid back to them. A return of
capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s
investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or
“income.” The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this
19(a) Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax
reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts
for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment
experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be
subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send a
Form 1099-DIV to shareholders for the calendar year that will
describe how to report the Fund’s distributions for federal income
tax purposes.
The determination of the actual source of distributions can only
be made at year-end. The actual source amounts of all Fund
distributions will be included in the Fund’s annual or semi-annual
reports. In addition, the tax treatment may differ from the
accounting treatment used to calculate the source of the Fund’s
distributions as shown on shareholders’ statements. Shareholders
should refer to their Form 1099-DIV for the character and amount of
distributions for income tax reporting purposes. The final
determination of the source and tax characteristics of all
distributions will be made after December 31, 2024 and reported to
you on Form 1099-DIV early in 2025. Since each shareholder’s tax
situation is unique, it may be advisable to consult a tax advisor
as to the appropriate treatment of Fund distributions.

Fund Performance and Distribution Rate Information:
1Average Annual Total Return in relation to NAV represents the
compound average of the Annual NAV Total Returns of the Fund for
the five-year period ended through October 31, 2024. Annual NAV
Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s NAV over a
year, assuming reinvestment of distributions paid.
2The Annualized Distribution Rate is the dollar value of
distributions for the current fiscal period November 1, 2023
through October 31, 2024 (which includes the special dividend paid
during the current fiscal period in December 2023) annualized as a
percentage of the Fund’s NAV as of October 31, 2024. The level of
distribution amount shown is not guaranteed and special dividends
may not be paid in the future. Further, no conclusions should be
drawn about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount or
rate of distribution shown.
3Cumulative Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s
NAV from October 31, 2023 through October 31, 2024, assuming
reinvestment of distributions paid.
4The Cumulative Fiscal Year-To-Date Distribution Rate is the
dollar value of distributions for the current fiscal period
November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024 (which includes the
special dividend paid during the current fiscal period in December
2023), as a percentage of the Fund’s NAV as of October 31, 2024.
The level of distribution amount shown is not guaranteed and
special dividends may not be paid in the future. Further, no
conclusions should be drawn about the Fund’s investment performance
from the amount or rate of distribution shown.
Managed Distribution Plan. The above distribution was
declared in accordance with the Fund’s currently effective managed
distribution plan (the “Plan”), whereby the Fund will make monthly
distributions to shareholders at a fixed amount of $0.058 per
share. Thus, the distribution amount shown excludes special
dividends (which are not paid pursuant to the plan), including the
special dividend paid during the current fiscal period in December
2023. The Fund will generally distribute amounts necessary to
satisfy the Fund’s Plan and the requirements prescribed by excise
tax rules and Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan
is intended to provide shareholders with a constant, but not
guaranteed, fixed minimum rate of distribution each month and is
intended to narrow the discount between the market price and the
net asset value of the Fund’s common shares, but there is no
assurance that the Plan will be successful in doing so.
Under the Plan, to the extent that sufficient investment income
is not available on a monthly basis, the Fund will distribute
long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in order to
maintain its managed distribution rate. As a result, long-term
capital gains and/or return of capital may be a material source of
any distribution. No conclusions should be drawn about the Fund’s
investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s distributions
or from the terms of the Fund’s Plan. The Board of Trustees (the
“Board”) may amend the terms of the Plan or terminate the Plan at
any time without prior notice to Fund shareholders. No level of
distribution can be guaranteed. The amendment or termination of the
Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s
common shares. The Plan is subject to the periodic review by the
Board, including a yearly review of the annual minimum fixed rate
to determine if an adjustment should be made.
Past Performance is No Assurance of Future Results.
Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund
will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than
their original cost. Investors should consider the investment
objective, risks and expenses carefully. You can obtain the Fund’s
most recent periodic reports and filings by visiting

Other Information and Certain Risk Factors: The Fund’s
investment objective is to provide investors with high current
income, with a secondary goal of capital appreciation. There can be
no assurance that the Fund will meet its investment objective. The
Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing globally in debt
and equity securities of public and private companies, which
includes, among other things, investments in closed‐end funds,
special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”), reinsurance, and
public and private debt instruments. The Fund also may utilize
derivatives including but not limited to total return swaps, credit
default swaps, options (including but not limited to index options)
and futures, in seeking to enhance returns and/or to reduce
portfolio risk. In addition, on an opportunistic basis, the Fund
may also invest up to 15% of its total assets in private funds that
focus on debt, equity or other investments consistent with the
Fund’s investment objective.
The value of the Fund’s investments in equity securities of
public and private, listed and unlisted companies and equity
derivatives generally varies with the performance of the issuer and
movements in the equity markets more generally. As a result, the
Fund may suffer losses if it invests in equity instruments of
issuers whose performance diverges from the Fund’s investment
manager’s expectations or if equity markets generally move in a
single direction and the Fund has not hedged against such a general
move. The Fund may invest in closed-end funds and SPACs, which are
subject to additional risks and considerations. The performance of
reinsurance-related securities and the reinsurance industry itself
are tied to the occurrence of various triggering events, including
but not limited to weather, natural disasters (hurricanes,
earthquakes, etc.), non-natural large catastrophes and other
specified events causing physical and/or economic loss. To the
extent the Fund invests in reinsurance-related securities for which
a triggering event occurs, losses associated with such event could
result in losses to the Fund’s investment, and a series of major
triggering events affecting a large portion of the reinsurance-
related securities held by the Fund could result in substantial
losses to the Fund’s investment. The Fund may invest in high yield
securities, which are speculative in nature and are subject to
additional risk factors such as increased possibility of default,
illiquidity of the security, and changes in value based on changes
in interest rates. Changes in short-term market interest rates may
directly affect the yield on the Fund’s common shares. If such
rates fall, the Fund’s yield may also fall. If interest rate
spreads on bonds and loans owned by the Fund decline in general,
the yield on the bonds and loans will likely fall and the value of
such bonds and loans may decrease. When short-term market interest
rates rise, because of the lag between changes in such short-term
rates and the resetting of the floating rates on bonds and loans in
the Fund’s portfolio, the impact of rising rates will be delayed to
the extent of such lag. Because of the limited secondary market for
certain bonds and loans, the Fund’s ability to sell such securities
in a timely fashion and/or at a favorable price may be limited. An
increase in the demand for bonds and loans may adversely affect the
rate of interest payable on new bonds and loans acquired by the
Fund, and it may also increase the price of bonds and loans
purchased by the Fund in the secondary market. A decrease in the
demand for bonds and loans may adversely affect the price of bonds
and loans in the Fund’s portfolio, which would cause the Fund’s net
asset value to decrease. Investment in foreign borrowers involves
special risks, including but not limited to potentially less
rigorous accounting requirements, differing legal systems and
potential political, social and economic adversity. The Fund may
engage in currency exchange transactions to seek to hedge, as
closely as practicable, all of the economic impact to the Fund
arising from foreign currency fluctuations. Other risks include,
but are not limited to, the use of derivatives, the potential lack
of diversification in the Fund’s portfolio, and the fact that the
Fund’s portfolio may be concentrated in a small group of industries
or industry sectors from time to time. Investors should consult the
Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission as well
as the materials on the Fund’s website for a more detailed
discussion of these or other risk factors that affect the Fund.
