The performance data quoted represent past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, if sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance results reflect the effects of leverage, resulting from borrowings under a credit agreement. Current total returns of the Fund can be obtained by visiting our website at cohenandsteers.com. The Fund's returns assume the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at prices obtained under the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan. Index performance does not reflect the deduction of any fees, taxes or expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year are not annualized.

The Fund expects to make regular monthly distributions at a level rate (the Policy). Distributions paid by the Fund are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes and are taxable up to the amount of the Fund's net investment company taxable income and net realized gains. As a result of the Policy, the Fund may pay distributions in excess of the Fund's net investment company taxable income and net realized gains. This excess would be a return of capital distributed from the Fund's assets. Distributions of capital decrease the Fund's total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Fund's expense ratio. In addition, in order to make these distributions, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.

As a closed-end investment company, the price of the Fund's exchange-traded shares will be set by market forces and can deviate from the net asset value (NAV) per share of the Fund.

Market Review

Preferred securities generated a positive total return in the six months ended June 30, 2026, despite a market that shifted repeatedly as investors navigated competing economic narratives and more hawkish central bank policy expectations.

The period began with a constructive economic backdrop. Prior to the late-February onset of the U.S.-Iran conflict, economic activity was generally supportive of credit, with easing inflation reinforcing expectations that major central banks would cut interest rates in 2026. This dynamic shifted following the conflict's disruption to seaborne energy flows. Fixed income and equities alike were pressured as investors struggled to gauge the likely duration of the conflict, its economic implications and the scope of any resulting monetary policy response. By April, however, sentiment improved as markets began to price in the expectation of a relatively swift resolution of the conflict and as the global economy proved more resilient than feared, restoring confidence that credit fundamentals would remain intact. Nevertheless, persistent inflation tempered expectations for monetary easing.

Across the period, the U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened, with shorter-maturity yields rising more than long-end yields. Persistent inflation (driven by the spike in energy prices, AI capital spending and tariffs), along with better-than-expected growth, tempered expectations for monetary easing. Kevin Warsh was sworn in as the new Federal Reserve Chair and struck a surprisingly hawkish tone at his first policy-setting meeting.

Supported by economic strength and investors' search for income, credit spreads remained relatively stable throughout the period, ultimately finishing near where they began. In addition to the supportive credit environment, preferreds benefited from limited new supply, which bolstered demand for existing issues. Consequently, preferred securities outperformed U.S. Treasuries and investment-grade corporate bonds. Within preferreds, performance dispersion reflected not only sector and credit quality but also instrument structure, with floating-rate and fixed-to-reset securities generally proving more resilient than long-duration, fixed-rate issues.

Fund Performance

The Fund had a positive total return over the period and outperformed its blended benchmark on both a NAV and market price basis.

Results in the banking sector, the dominant issuer of preferreds, remained supportive. Companies largely met or beat analysts' earnings estimates and forward guidance. Capital ratios for global systemically important banks remained well above regulatory minimums on average. Security selection in the banking sector modestly contributed to relative performance, led by overweight positions in select U.S. bank securities with fixed-to-reset structures as well as European bank contingent capital securities-the strongest-performing segment of the preferreds market.

Idiosyncratic risks affected certain segments of the fixed income market, including select preferred issuers in the insurance sector with greater exposure to private credit. However, we do not believe this reflects broader systemic credit stress. Insurer exposure to higher-risk private credit is generally more limited than headline figures suggest. In particular, software-related lending-the area most directly associated with AI disruption-represents only a very small portion of insurer

investment portfolios and is typically held within senior secured structures. The Fund's underweight allocation and security selection in the insurance sector contributed to relative performance.

New issuance by utilities continued to add diversification to the preferreds market. This issuance is often directly tied to rising capital needs driven by AI adoption, data-center expansion, and the growing importance of reliable energy infrastructure. While AI increases investment demands and near-term costs, the sector benefits from scale, regulation, and embedded infrastructure that in our view helps protect companies' earnings durability. An underweight allocation to the utilities sector modestly detracted from relative performance.

Pipelines were the top-performing sector, partially due to the sharp rise in energy prices. The energy sector, comprised of issues from oil & gas producers and refiners, also outperformed. The Fund's overweight to the pipeline sector and security selection in energy aided relative performance.

The absence of exposure to the media sector also contributed to the Fund's relative performance. The sector consists of two issues from a company that waged a costly takeover battle; the securities declined materially on concerns that the company's credit rating could face a downgrade due to higher leverage associated with the transaction's debt financing.

Impact of Leverage on Fund Performance

The Fund employs leverage as part of a yield-enhancement strategy. Leverage, which can increase total return in rising markets (just as it can have the opposite effect in declining markets), contributed to the Fund's performance for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Impact of Derivatives on Fund Performance

In connection with its use of leverage, the Fund pays interest on its borrowings based on a floating rate under the terms of its credit agreement. To reduce the impact that an increase in interest rates could have on the performance of the Fund with respect to these borrowings, the Fund used interest rate swaps to exchange a portion of the floating rate for a fixed rate. In addition, the Fund also used interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk on certain Fund positions. The Fund's use of interest rate swaps contributed to the Fund's total return for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

The Fund used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage currency risk on certain Fund positions denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund also used futures contracts to manage interest rate risk on certain Fund positions. The currency exchange contracts and futures contracts did not have a material impact on the Fund's total return for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Our Leverage Strategy

(Unaudited)

Our current leverage strategy utilizes borrowings up to the maximum permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940 to provide additional capital for the Fund, with an objective of increasing net income available for shareholders. As of June 30, 2026, leverage represented 33% of the Fund's managed assets.

Through a combination of variable rate financing and interest rate swaps, the Fund has locked in interest rates on a significant portion of this additional capital through 2028 (where we effectively reduce our variable rate obligation and lock in our fixed rate obligation over various terms). Locking in a significant portion of our leveraging costs is designed to protect the dividend-paying ability of the Fund. The use of leverage increases the volatility of the Fund's NAV in both up and down markets. However, we believe that locking in portions of the Fund's leveraging costs for the various terms partially protects the Fund's expenses from an increase in short-term interest rates.

The Fund seeks to enhance its dividend yield through leverage. The use of leverage is a speculative technique and there are special risks and costs associated with leverage. The NAV of the Fund's shares may be reduced by the issuance and ongoing costs of leverage. So long as the Fund is able to invest in securities that produce an investment yield that is greater than the total cost of leverage, the leverage strategy will produce higher current net investment income for shareholders. On the other hand, to the extent that the total cost of leverage exceeds the incremental income gained from employing such leverage, shareholders would realize lower net investment income. In addition to the impact on net income, the use of leverage will have an effect of magnifying capital appreciation or depreciation for shareholders. Specifically, in an up market, leverage will typically generate greater capital appreciation than if the Fund were not employing leverage. Conversely, in down markets, the use of leverage will generally result in greater capital depreciation than if the Fund had been unlevered. To the extent that the Fund is required or elects to reduce its leverage, the Fund may need to liquidate investments, including under adverse economic conditions which may result in capital losses potentially reducing returns to shareholders. There can be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful during any period in which it is employed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 

Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on August 16, 2010 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund's primary investment objective is high current income. The Fund's secondary investment objective is capital appreciation.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946-Investment Companies. The accounting policies of the Fund are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Portfolio Valuation: Investments in securities that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are valued, except as indicated below, at the last sale price reflected at the close of the NYSE on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices on such day or, if no ask price is available, at the bid price. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the prevailing forward exchange rate. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued based upon prices provided by a third-party pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as of the close of futures trading on the primary exchange on which the futures are traded.

Securities not listed on the NYSE but listed on other domestic or foreign securities exchanges are valued in a similar manner. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price reflected at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If after the close of a foreign market, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued, market conditions change significantly, certain non-U.S. equity holdings may be fair valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors.

Readily marketable securities traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, including listed securities whose primary market is believed by Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (the investment manager) to be OTC, are valued on the basis of prices provided by a third-party pricing service or third-party broker-dealers when such prices are believed by the investment manager, pursuant to delegation by the Board of Directors, to reflect the fair value of such securities.

Fixed-income securities are valued on the basis of prices provided by a third-party pricing service or third-party broker-dealers when such prices are believed by the investment manager, pursuant to delegation by the Board of Directors, to reflect the fair value of such securities. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a

34

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features which are then used to calculate the fair values.

Short-term debt securities with a maturity date of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at net asset value (NAV).

The Board of Directors has designated the investment manager as the Fund's "Valuation Designee" under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As Valuation Designee, the investment manager is authorized to make fair valuation determinations, subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors. The investment manager has established a valuation committee (Valuation Committee) to administer, implement and oversee the fair valuation process according to the policies and procedures approved annually by the Board of Directors. Among other things, these procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.

Securities for which market prices are unavailable, or securities for which the investment manager determines that the bid and/or ask price or a counterparty valuation does not reflect market value, will be valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, pursuant to procedures approved by the Fund's Board of Directors. Circumstances in which market prices may be unavailable include, but are not limited to, when trading in a security is suspended, the exchange on which the security is traded is subject to an unscheduled close or disruption or material events occur after the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. In these circumstances, the Fund determines fair value in a manner that fairly reflects the market value of the security on the valuation date based on consideration of any information or factors it deems appropriate. These may include, but are not limited to, recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security and developments in the markets.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing may cause the NAV of Fund shares to differ from the NAV that would be calculated using market quotations. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security.

Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would expect to receive upon the sale of an investment or expect to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. The hierarchy of inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund's investments is summarized below.

35

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

•

Level 1-quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•

Level 2-other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

•

Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments may or may not be an indication of the risk associated with those investments. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

The levels associated with valuing the Fund's investments as of June 30, 2026 are disclosed in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends on foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date. Distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as ordinary income, net realized capital gains or return of capital based on information reported by the REITs and management's estimates of such amounts based on historical information. These estimates are adjusted when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the REITs and actual amounts may differ from the estimated amounts.

Cash: For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund defines cash as cash, including foreign currency and restricted cash.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign currency transaction gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, (excluding gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are presented separately, if any) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, on the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign currency gains/losses included in realized and unrealized gains/losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

36

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with certain of its non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a commitment between two parties to purchase or sell foreign currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward foreign currency exchange contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation and/or depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are included in net realized gain or loss on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. For federal income tax purposes, the Fund has made an election to treat gains and losses from forward foreign currency exchange contracts as capital gains and losses.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the contract. Risks may also arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. In connection with these contracts, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective contracts.

Futures Contracts: The Fund uses futures contracts in order to manage interest rate sensitivity. Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on futures in the Statement of Operations. Realized gain or loss, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, is reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated as such on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. With exchange traded futures contracts, the exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to futures transactions; therefore, the Fund's credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange traded futures contracts with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker's customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their

37

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker's customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day's settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of certain positions. In certain circumstances, the futures commission merchant (FCM) can require additional margin on the futures contracts which would subject the Fund to counterparty credit risk with the FCM.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC serves as the Fund's FCM for the purpose of trading in futures contracts, options and interests therein.

Centrally Cleared Interest Rate Swap Contracts: The Fund uses interest rate swaps in connection with borrowing under its credit agreement. The Fund may also enter into interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps that are intended to reduce interest rate risk under the credit agreement seek to do so by countering the effect that an increase in short-term interest rates could have on the performance of the Fund's shares as a result of the floating rate structure of interest owed pursuant to the credit agreement. When entering into such interest rate swaps, the Fund agrees to pay the other party to the interest rate swap (which is known as the counterparty) a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty's agreement to pay the Fund a variable rate payment that was intended to approximate the Fund's variable rate payment obligation on the credit agreement. The payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the swap. Depending on the state of interest rates in general, the use of interest rate swaps could enhance or harm the overall performance of the Fund. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in the value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations.

Immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the Fund's counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral pledged for interest rate swap contracts. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on interest rate swap contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Any upfront payments paid or received upon entering into a swap agreement would be recorded as assets or liabilities, respectively, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and amortized or accreted over the life of the swap and recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Payments received from or paid to the counterparty during the term of the swap agreement, or at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.

Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk, and exposure to loss in excess of the related amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and

38

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: The Fund makes regular monthly distributions at a level rate. Dividends from net investment income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are typically declared quarterly and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward, are typically distributed to shareholders at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are automatically reinvested in full and fractional shares of the Fund in accordance with the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan, unless the shareholder has elected to have them paid in cash.

Dividends from net investment income are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes. Based upon the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026, the investment manager considers it likely that a portion of the dividends will be reclassified to distributions from tax return of capital upon the final determination of the Fund's taxable income after the Fund's fiscal year end.

Distributions Subsequent to June 30, 2026: The following distributions have been declared by the Fund's Board of Directors and are payable subsequent to the period end of this report.

Ex-Date/
Record Date 		Payable
Date 		Amount
7/14/26 7/31/26 $0.126
8/11/26 8/31/26 $0.126
9/8/26 9/30/26 $0.126

Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company (RIC), if such qualification is in the best interest of the shareholders, by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs, and by distributing substantially all of its taxable earnings to its shareholders. Also, in order to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes, the Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized gains on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Dividend and interest income from holdings in non-U.S. securities are recorded net of non-U.S. taxes paid. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal and applicable state income tax returns as well as its tax positions in non-U.S. jurisdictions in which it trades for all open tax years and has concluded that as of June 30, 2026, no additional provisions for income tax are required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's tax positions for the tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, state departments of revenue and by foreign tax authorities.

Note 2. Investment Management Fees, Administration Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Management Fees: Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. serves as the Fund's investment manager pursuant to an investment management agreement (the investment management agreement). Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the investment manager provides the Fund with day-to-day investment decisions and generally manages the Fund's investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors.

For the services provided to the Fund, the investment manager receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.70% of the average daily managed assets of the Fund. Managed assets are equal to the net assets plus the amount of any borrowings used for leverage outstanding.

Administration Fees: The Fund has entered into an administration agreement with the investment manager under which the investment manager performs certain administrative functions for the Fund and receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.06% of the average daily managed assets of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Fund incurred $116,866 in fees under this administration agreement. Additionally, the Fund pays State Street Bank and Trust Company as co-administrator under a fund accounting and administration agreement.

Directors' and Officers' Fees: Certain directors and officers of the Fund are also directors, officers and/or employees of the investment manager. The Fund does not pay compensation to interested directors and officers, except for the Chief Compliance Officer who received compensation from the investment manager, which was reimbursed by the Fund, in the amount of $1,182 for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Note 3. Purchases and Sales of Securities

Purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, totaled $112,334,080 and $107,261,855, respectively.

Cost of investments in securities for federal income tax purposes

$ 380,161,771

Gross unrealized appreciation on investments

$ 14,380,543

Gross unrealized depreciation on investments

(5,703,587 )

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments

The Fund incurred ordinary losses of $1,923 after October 31, 2025 that it has elected to defer to the following year.

As of December 31, 2025, the Fund has a net capital loss carryforward of $38,071,356 which may be used to offset future capital gains. The loss is comprised of a short-term capital loss carryforward of $8,921,939 and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $29,149,417, which under current federal income tax rules, may offset capital gains recognized in any future period.

Note 6. Capital Stock

The Fund is authorized to issue 250 million shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund did not issue shares of common stock for the reinvestment of dividends.

On December 9, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the continuation of the delegation of its authority to management to effect repurchases, pursuant to management's discretion and subject to market conditions and investment considerations, of up to 10% of the Fund's common shares outstanding as of January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. There is no assurance that the Fund will repurchase shares in any particular amounts or at all.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund did not effect any repurchases.

Note 7. Borrowings

The Fund has entered into a $129,000,000 revolving credit agreement (the credit agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street). The Fund pays a monthly financing charge which is calculated based on the utilized portion of the credit agreement and a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)-based rate. The Fund also pays a fee of 0.15% per annum for each day in which the aggregate loans outstanding under the credit agreement total less than 80% of the credit agreement amount of $129,000,000. The credit agreement has a 360-day evergreen provision whereby State Street may terminate this agreement upon 360 days' notice, but the Fund may terminate on three business days' notice to State Street. Securities held by the Fund are subject to a

43

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

lien, granted to State Street, to the extent of the borrowing outstanding in connection with the Fund's revolving credit agreement. If the Fund fails to meet certain requirements, or maintain other financial covenants required under the credit agreement, the Fund may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the loan balance outstanding under the credit agreement, necessitating the sale of portfolio securities at potentially inopportune times.

As of June 30, 2026, the Fund had outstanding borrowings of $129,000,000 at a current rate of 4.4%. The carrying value of the borrowings approximates fair value. The borrowings are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Fund borrowed an average daily balance of $129,000,000 at a weighted average borrowing cost of 4.4%.

Note 8. Other Risks

Market Price Discount from Net Asset Value Risk: Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their NAV. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that NAV could decrease as a result of investment activities. Whether investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of the shares will depend not upon the Fund's NAV but entirely upon whether the market price of the shares at the time of sale is above or below the investor's purchase price for the shares. Because the market price of the shares is determined by factors such as relative supply of and demand for shares in the market, general market and economic conditions, and other factors beyond the control of the Fund, the shares may trade at, above or below NAV.

Preferred Securities Risk: Preferred securities are subject to credit risk, which is the risk that a security will decline in price, or the issuer of the security will fail to make dividend, interest or principal payments when due, because the issuer experiences a decline in its financial status. Preferred securities are also subject to interest rate risk and may decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates than would normally be the case in an environment of low interest rates and the effect of potential government fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives. In addition, an issuer may be permitted to defer or omit distributions. Preferred securities are also generally subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in a company's capital structure. During periods of declining interest rates, an issuer may be able to exercise an option to redeem (call) its issue at par earlier than scheduled, and the Fund may be forced to reinvest in lower yielding securities. Certain preferred securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks. Generally, preferred security holders have no voting rights with respect to the issuing company unless certain events occur. Certain preferred securities may give the issuers special redemption rights allowing the securities to be redeemed prior to a specified date if certain events occur, such as changes to tax or securities laws.

Contingent Capital Securities Risk: Contingent capital securities (sometimes referred to as "CoCos") are debt or preferred securities with loss absorption characteristics built into the terms of the security, for example, a mandatory conversion into common stock of the issuer under certain circumstances, such as the issuer's capital ratio falling below a certain level. Since the common stock of the issuer may not pay a dividend, investors in these instruments could experience a reduced income rate, potentially to zero, and conversion would deepen the subordination of the investor,

44

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

hence worsening the investor's standing in a bankruptcy. Some CoCos provide for a reduction in the value or principal amount of the security (potentially to zero) under such circumstances. In March 2023, a Swiss regulator required a write-down of outstanding CoCos to zero notwithstanding the fact that the equity shares continued to exist and have economic value. It is currently unclear whether regulators of issuers in other jurisdictions will take similar actions. Notwithstanding these risks, the Fund intends to continue to invest in CoCos issued by Swiss companies and by companies in other jurisdictions. In addition, most CoCos are considered to be high yield or "junk" securities and are therefore subject to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade securities. Finally, CoCo issuers can, at their discretion, suspend dividend distributions on their CoCo securities and are more likely to do so in response to negative economic conditions and/or government regulation. Omitted distributions are typically non-cumulative and will not be paid on a future date. Any omitted distribution may negatively impact the returns or distribution rate of the Fund.

Concentration Risk: Because the Fund invests at least 25% of its managed assets in the financials sector, it will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting this sector, such as changes in interest rates, loan concentration and competition. In addition, the Fund will also be subject to the risks of investing in the individual industries and securities that comprise the financials sector, including the bank, diversified financials, real estate (including REITs) and insurance industries. To the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in other sectors or industries, such as (but not limited to) energy, industrials, utilities, pipelines, health care and telecommunications, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with these particular sectors and industries. These sectors and industries may be adversely affected by, among others, changes in government regulation, world events and economic conditions.

Credit and Below-Investment-Grade Securities Risk: Preferred securities may be rated below-investment-grade or may be unrated. Below-investment-grade securities, or equivalent unrated securities, which are commonly known as "high-yield bonds" or "junk bonds," generally involve greater volatility of price and risk of loss of income and principal, and may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher grade securities. It is reasonable to expect that any adverse economic conditions could disrupt the market for lower-rated securities, have an adverse impact on the value of those securities and adversely affect the ability of the issuers of those securities to repay principal and interest on those securities.

Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that particular investments of the Fund may become difficult to sell or purchase. The market for certain investments may become less liquid or illiquid due to adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or due to adverse market or economic conditions. In addition, dealer inventories of certain securities, which provide an indication of the ability of dealers to engage in "market making," are at, or near, historic lows in relation to market size, which has the potential to increase price volatility in the fixed income markets in which the Fund invests. Federal banking regulations may also cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of certain securities, which may further decrease the Fund's ability to buy or sell such securities. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance. Further, transactions in less liquid or illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.

45

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

Foreign (Non-U.S.) and Emerging Market Securities Risk: The Fund directly purchases securities of foreign issuers. Risks of investing in foreign securities include currency risks, future political and economic developments and possible imposition of foreign withholding taxes on income or proceeds payable on the securities. In addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign issuer than about a domestic issuer, and foreign issuers may not be subject to the same accounting, auditing and financial recordkeeping standards and requirements as domestic issuers. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

Foreign Currency Risk: Although the Fund will report its NAV and pay dividends in U.S. dollars, foreign securities often are purchased with and make any dividend and interest payments in foreign currencies. Therefore, the Fund's investments in foreign securities will be subject to foreign currency risk, which means that the Fund's NAV could decline solely as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal, dividends and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. The Fund may, but is not required to, engage in various investments that are designed to hedge the Fund's foreign currency risks, and such investments are subject to the risks described under "Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk" below.

Leverage Risk: The use of leverage is a speculative technique and there are special risks and costs associated with leverage. The NAV of the Fund's shares may be reduced by the issuance and ongoing costs of leverage. So long as the Fund is able to invest in securities that produce an investment yield that is greater than the total cost of leverage, the leverage strategy will produce higher current net investment income for the shareholders. On the other hand, to the extent that the total cost of leverage exceeds the incremental income gained from employing such leverage, shareholders would realize lower net investment income. In addition to the impact on net income, the use of leverage will have an effect of magnifying capital appreciation or depreciation for shareholders. Specifically, in an up market, leverage will typically generate greater capital appreciation than if the Fund were not employing leverage. Conversely, in down markets, the use of leverage will generally result in greater capital depreciation than if the Fund had been unlevered. To the extent that the Fund is required or elects to reduce its leverage, the Fund may need to liquidate investments, including under adverse economic conditions which may result in capital losses potentially reducing returns to shareholders. The use of leverage also results in the investment management fees payable to the investment manager being higher than if the Fund did not use leverage and can increase operating costs, which may reduce total return. There can be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful during any period in which it is employed.

Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk: The Fund's use of derivatives, including for the purpose of hedging interest rate or foreign currency risks, presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Among the risks presented are counterparty risk, financial leverage risk, liquidity risk, OTC trading risk and tracking risk. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives.

46

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk: Geopolitical and market events (including armed conflicts, terrorism, natural disasters, public health emergencies, trade disputes, tariffs, sanctions, and political or economic instability) can cause significant volatility in global markets and may adversely affect the Fund's investments. Disruptions to supply chains, sharp movements in commodity prices, and changes in investor sentiment or credit conditions may negatively impact issuers, sectors, or entire regions, even those not directly involved in the originating event.

Recent examples include the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and increasing political polarization around issues such as trade policy, monetary policy and the U.S. debt ceiling. The rapid development and regulation of artificial intelligence technologies may also introduce uncertainty. The scope, severity, and duration of these risks are difficult to predict, but they could materially reduce the value of the Fund's investments.

Regulatory Risk: Legal and regulatory developments may adversely affect the Fund. The regulatory environment for the Fund is evolving, and changes in the regulation of investment funds and other financial institutions or products (such as banking or insurance products), and their trading activities and capital markets, or a regulator's disagreement with the Fund's interpretation of the application of certain regulations, may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategy, its ability to obtain leverage and financing, and the value of investments held by the Fund. The U.S. government has proposed and adopted multiple regulations that could have a long-lasting impact on the Fund and on the fund industry in general. These regulations or any laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future may restrict the Fund's ability to engage in transactions or raise additional capital and/or increase overall expenses of the Fund.

Additional legislative or regulatory actions may alter or impair certain market participants' ability to utilize certain investment strategies and techniques.

The Fund and the instruments in which it invests may be subject to new or additional regulatory constraints in the future. These regulations and actions may adversely affect both the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests and its ability to execute its investment strategy. For example, climate change regulation (such as decarbonization legislation, other mandatory controls to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, or related disclosure requirements) could significantly affect the Fund or its investments by, among other things, increasing compliance costs or underlying companies' operating costs and capital expenditures. Similarly, regulatory developments in other countries may have an unpredictable and adverse impact on the Fund.

Cybersecurity Risk: With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT, and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Fund and its service providers (including the investment manager), and their own service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or other technological malfunctions. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate, but unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks include, among others, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, preventing legitimate users from accessing information or services on a website or company system, misappropriating or releasing confidential information without authorization (including personal data), gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes

47

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

of misappropriating assets and causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service. New ways to carry out cyber-attacks continue to develop. There may be an increased risk of cyber-attacks during periods of geopolitical or military conflict, and geopolitical tensions may increase the scale and sophistication of deliberate cyber security attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing. Successful cyber-attacks against, or security breakdowns of, the Fund, the investment manager, or a custodian, transfer agent, or other affiliated or third-party service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders.

Each of the Fund and the investment manager may have limited ability to detect, prevent or mitigate cyber-attacks or security or technology breakdowns affecting the Fund third-party service providers. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and systems designed to detect, prevent or reduce the impact of cyber-attacks, such plans and systems are subject to inherent limitations.

Note 9. Operating Segments

An operating segment is defined in ASC Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The executive committee of the Fund's investment manager and the Fund's chief executive officer and chief financial officer act as the Fund's CODM. The Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund's portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of the Fund's total returns, expense ratios, subscriptions and redemptions, which are used by the CODM to assess the segment's performance versus the Fund's comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund's single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund's financial statements.

Note 10. Other

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Fund in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events and transactions occurring after June 30, 2026 through the date that the financial statements were issued, and has determined that no additional disclosure in the financial statements is required.

Disclosures of the Fund's complete holdings are required to be made monthly on Form N-PORT, with every third month made available to the public by the SEC 60 days after the end of the Fund's fiscal quarter. The Fund's Form N-PORT is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 866-227-0757 or (ii) on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.

Please note that distributions paid by the Fund to shareholders are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes and are taxable up to the amount of the Fund's net investment company taxable income and net realized gains. Distributions in excess of the Fund's net investment company taxable income and net realized gains are a return of capital distributed from the Fund's assets. To the extent this occurs, the Fund's shareholders of record will be notified of the estimated amount of capital returned to shareholders for each such distribution and this information will also be available at cohenandsteers.com. The final tax treatment of all distributions is reported to shareholders on their 1099-DIV forms, which are mailed after the close of each calendar year. Distributions of capital decrease the Fund's total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Fund's expense ratio. In addition, in order to make these distributions, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.

Notice is hereby given in accordance with Rule 23c-1 under the 1940 Act that the Fund may purchase, from time to time, shares of its common stock in the open market.

Change to the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer

On June 16, 2026, the Board of Directors approved the appointment of Nargis Hilal as the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) of the Fund effective July 3, 2026. Ms. Hilal previously served as the Fund's Deputy CCO.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

The Board of Directors of the Fund (the Board), including a majority of the Directors who are not parties to the Fund's investment management agreement (the Management Agreement), or interested persons of any such party (the Independent Directors), has the responsibility under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Fund's Management Agreement for its initial two year term and its continuation annually thereafter at a meeting of the Board called for the purpose of voting on the approval or continuation. The Management Agreement was discussed at a meeting of the Independent Directors, in their capacity as the Contract Review Committee, held on June 2, 2026, and at a meeting of the full Board held on June 16, 2026. The Independent Directors, in their capacity as the Contract Review Committee, also discussed the Management Agreement in executive sessions on June 2, 15 and 16, 2026. At the meeting of the full Board on June 16, 2026, the Management Agreement was unanimously continued for a term ending June 30, 2027, by the Board, including the Independent Directors. The Independent Directors were represented by independent counsel who assisted them in their deliberations during the meetings and executive sessions.

In considering whether to continue the Management Agreement, the Board reviewed materials provided by an independent data provider, which included, among other items, fee, expense and performance information compared to peer funds (the Peer Funds and, collectively with the Fund, the Peer Group) and performance comparisons to a larger category universe; summary information prepared by the Fund's investment manager (the Investment Manager); and a memorandum from counsel to the Independent Directors outlining the legal duties of the Board. The Board also spoke directly with a representative of the independent data provider and met with investment management personnel. In addition, the Board considered information provided from time to time by the Investment Manager throughout the year at meetings of the Board, including presentations by portfolio managers relating to the investment performance of the Fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the Fund's objective. The Board also considered information provided by the Investment Manager in response to a request for information submitted by counsel to the Independent Directors, on behalf of the Independent Directors, as well as information provided by the Investment Manager in response to a supplemental request. In particular, the Board considered the following:

(i) The nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Investment Manager: The Board reviewed the services that the Investment Manager provides to the Fund, including, but not limited to, making the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund, placing orders for the investment and reinvestment of the Fund's assets, furnishing information to the Board regarding the Fund's portfolio, providing individuals to serve as Fund officers, managing the Fund's debt leverage level, and generally managing the Fund's investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund. The Board also discussed with officers and portfolio managers of the Fund the types of transactions conducted on behalf of the Fund. Additionally, the Board took into account the services provided by the Investment Manager to its other funds and accounts, including those that have investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund. The Board also considered the education, background and experience of the Investment Manager's personnel, particularly noting the potential benefit that the portfolio managers' work experience and favorable reputation can have on the Fund. The Board further noted the Investment Manager's ability to attract qualified and experienced personnel. The Board also considered the administrative services provided by the

51

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

Investment Manager, including compliance and accounting services. After consideration of the above factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager are satisfactory and appropriate.

(ii) Investment performance of the Fund and the Investment Manager: The Board considered the investment performance of the Fund compared to Peer Funds and compared to its benchmarks. The Board considered that, on a net asset value (NAV) basis, the Fund outperformed the Peer Group medians for the one- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2026, ranking 2 out 5 for each. The Fund represented the Peer Group medians for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2026, ranking 3 out of 5 peers for each period. The Board also noted, the Fund outperformed the relevant linked blended benchmark for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2026. The Board also noted that, on a NAV basis, the Fund outperformed the ICE BofA Fixed Rate Preferred Securities Index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2026. The Board engaged in discussions with the Investment Manager regarding the contributors to and detractors from the Fund's performance, as well as the impact of leverage on the Fund's performance. The Board also considered supplemental information provided by the Investment Manager, including a narrative summary of various factors affecting performance and the Investment Manager's performance in managing similarly managed funds and accounts. The Board determined that Fund performance, in light of all the considerations noted above, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

(iii) Cost of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Investment Manager from the relationship with the Fund: The Board considered the contractual and actual management fees paid by the Fund as well as the Fund's total expense ratios. As part of its analysis, the Board considered the fee and expense analyses provided by the independent data provider. The Board considered that the Fund's actual management fee at the common asset level was lower than the Peer Group median and the actual management fee at the managed asset level was in-line with the Peer Group median, ranking 2 out of 5 peers and 4 out of 5 peers, respectively. The Board noted that the Fund's total expense ratios, including investment-related expenses at the managed asset level and at the common asset level were both lower than the Peer Group medians, ranking 1 out of 5 peers for each. The Board also noted that the Fund's total expense ratio excluding investment-related expenses at the common asset level was lower than the Peer Group median and at the managed asset level the Fund was in-line with the Peer Group median, ranking 2 out of 5 peers and 4 out of 5 peers, respectively. The Board considered the impact of leverage on the Fund's fees and expenses at managed and common asset levels. In light of the considerations above, the Board concluded that the Fund's current expense structure was satisfactory.

The Board also reviewed information regarding the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with the Fund. The Board considered the level of the Investment Manager's profits and whether the profits were reasonable for the Investment Manager. The Board took into consideration other benefits to be derived by the Investment Manager in connection with the Management Agreement, noting particularly the research and related services, within the meaning of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that the Investment Manager receives by allocating the Fund's brokerage transactions. The Board further considered that the Investment Manager continues to reinvest profits back in the business, including upgrading and/or implementing new trading, compliance and accounting systems, and by adding investment

52

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

personnel to the portfolio management teams. The Board also considered the administrative services provided by the Investment Manager and the associated administration fee paid to the Investment Manager for such services under the Administration Agreement. The Board determined that the services received under the Administration Agreement are beneficial to the Fund. The Board concluded that the profits realized by the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Fund were reasonable and consistent with the Investment Manager's fiduciary duties.

(iv) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale: The Board noted that, as a closed-end fund, the Fund would not be expected to have inflows of capital that might produce increasing economies of scale. The Board determined that, given the Fund's closed-end structure, there were no significant economies of scale that were not already being shared with shareholders. In considering economies of scale, the Board also noted, as discussed above in (iii), that the Investment Manager continues to reinvest profits back in the business.

(v) Comparison of services to be rendered and fees to be paid to those under other investment management contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisors or other clients: As discussed above in (iii), the Board compared the fees paid under the Management Agreement to those under other investment management contracts of other investment advisors managing Peer Funds. The Board also compared the services rendered and fees paid under the Management Agreement to fees paid, including the ranges of such fees, under the Investment Manager's other fund management agreements and advisory contracts with institutional and other clients with similar investment mandates, noting that the Investment Manager provides more services to the Fund than it does to institutional or subadvised accounts. The Board also considered the entrepreneurial risk and financial exposure assumed by the Investment Manager in developing and managing the Fund that the Investment Manager does not have with institutional and other clients and other differences in the management of registered investment companies and institutional accounts. The Board determined that on a comparative basis the fees under the Management Agreement were reasonable in relation to the services provided.

No single factor was cited as determinative to the decision of the Board, and each Director may have assigned different weights to the various factors. Rather, after weighing all of the considerations and conclusions discussed above, the Board, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation of the Management Agreement.
