A I F to S O F I X T r a n s i t i o n Your questions, answered We've reached an agreement to transition the Alternative Income Fund (AIF) into the Opportunistic Credit Interval Fund (SOFIX), managed by Mount Logan Management (Mount Logan). If approved by shareholders, we believe this will help diversify your investment while giving you access to the resources of an experienced private credit manager. Background on the offering What is happening? If approved by shareholders, SOFIX will acquire all AIF assets in exchange for newly issued SOFIX shares, distributed to AIF shareholders in a net asset value for net asset value (NAV-for-NAV) exchange. AIF will cease to exist after closing. Willow Wealth has evolved into a platform that connects investors with leading managers across private markets. Mount Logan, part of the BC Partners platform, is focused on credit strategies at institutional scale. The AIF portfolio's primarily private credit holdings fit within SOFIX's existing strategy. Who is Mount Logan Capital? Mount Logan Capital is an integrated alternative asset management and insurance solutions firm. Mount Logan Management, a subsidiary of Mount Logan Capital, is the investment adviser to SOFIX and is part of the BC Partners credit platform. Together with its affiliates, BC Partners manages assets across private equity, credit, and real estate. What is SOFIX? SOFIX is a credit-focused interval fund. Its objectives are to produce current income and capital appreciation by investing across private and liquid credit opportunities, including privately originated loans and secondary credit investments. Can I exit before the transition? The current AIF tender offer will be extended and will close on April 6, giving investors additional time to submit redemption requests. Following the expected close of the transaction and issuance of SOFIX shares, liquidity will be provided through SOFIX's quarterly repurchase program. How do the investment strategies compare? Both AIF and SOFIX focus on seeking to generate income through private credit and asset-backed finance. SOFIX places greater emphasis on opportunistic credit investments sourced through the BC Partners platform, while AIF historically maintained broader exposure across a range of alternative asset classes. Why is this transition occuring? Willow Wealth Confidential. Not for redistribution. 1 |

Your investment Does the value of my investment change? Your AIF shares will be exchanged for SOFIX shares at equal dollar value through a NAV-for-NAV exchange. Is this taxable? The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization. Your cost basis and holding period are expected to carry over to SOFIX shares, and you will continue to receive 1099-DIV tax reporting. Note that AIF may make distributions prior to closing to maintain its regulated investment company status. If made, those distributions would be taxable in the year received. Consult your tax advisor for guidance specific to your situation. SOFIX targets quarterly distributions, though distributions are not guaranteed. If you are enrolled in the dividend reinvestment plan, reinvested distributions will be issued as new SOFIX shares following the close of the transaction. Your account How will I access my AIF account? Your investment is expected to be accessible through the Mount Logan investor portal, where you can access reports, performance information, and shareholder materials - similar to how you do now on the Willow Wealth platform. You will receive onboarding instructions in advance of the transition. Will I still receive tax forms through Willow Wealth? Yes. Final tax documents related to your AIF investment will be delivered through Willow Wealth for the 2026 tax year Can I still redeem my shares in AIF? Similar to AIF, SOFIX is generally expected to make quarterly offers to repurchase a portion of its outstanding shares at net asset value. Because repurchases are limited to a percentage of shares each quarter, there is no guarantee that all requested shares will be repurchased in a given offer. Are my other Willow Wealth investments affected? No. This transaction applies only to your AIF position. Your Willow Wealth account will continue to remain active. Does Willow Wealth plan to transition any other funds? No. This transaction is specific to AIF and there are no plans to transition other funds. Do I need to take any action? Not today. The transaction requires approval by AIF shareholders. You will receive proxy materials and voting instructions in the coming weeks. When they arrive, please review them and cast your vote. What happens to my distributions? Willow Wealth Confidential. Not for redistribution. 2 |
