Schedule TO relates to the Fund's offer to purchase for cash up to 100% of all of its outstanding preferred shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share and a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, designated Auction Preferred Shares, Series A, B, C, and D (the "Preferred Shares"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Fund's Offer to Purchase dated April 30, 2026 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal" which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the "Offer"), copies of which were previously filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii), respectively.
The price to be paid for the Preferred Shares is an amount per share, net to the seller in cash, equal to 98% of the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (or $24,500 per share), plus any unpaid dividends accrued prior to the expiration date of the Offer, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest.
