A. DescriptionoftheFirm Neuberger Berman Loan Advisers IV LLC (“NBLA IV”) is a Delaware series limited liability company,formed in May 2022 that commenced operations in 2024. NBLA IV’s affiliates date back to the founding of Neuberger & Berman in 1939, the predecessor to Neuberger Berman BD LLC (formerly Neuberger Berman LLC). NBLA IV’s principal office is located in Chicago, Illinois. NBLA IV is directly owned by Neuberger Berman Loan Advisers Holdings IV LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Holdings”). Class A Interests in Holdings are held by Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (“NBIA”), a Delaware limited liability company and an investment adviser registered with the SEC. NBIA is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Neuberger Berman Group LLC (“NBG”). Class B Interests in Holdings are held by Neuberger Berman Loan Advisers Holdings IV (Cayman) LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, and Neuberger Berman Loan Advisers Holdings IV (Delaware) LP, a Delaware limited partnership. NBLA IV’s primary business consists of (i) acting as the named collateral manager of a number of U.S. Dollar-denominated collateralized loan obligation or collateralized bond obligation transactions, including any type of short-term or long-term warehouse or repurchase agreement facilities in connection therewith (referred to collectively herein as “CLOs”); (ii) engaging in trading activities including, but not limited to, entering into conditional sale agreements and agreeing to acquire loans on its own account as an “originator,” “sponsor” or “original lender” for purposes of the EU Securitization Rules and the UK Securitization Rules (as defined in Item 11.B.4); (iii) directly, or indirectly through one or more subsidiaries, acting as the holder of investments in the “equity” or “first loss tranche” of CLOs (which may constitute EU/UK Retention Interests (as defined in Item 11.B.4)) (collectively, the “Retention Interests”); (iv) acting as the holder of the Preferred Return Notes, Performance Notes (each as defined in Item 5.A) and other securities issued by each CLO in respect of which NBLA IV holds a Retention Interest; (v) making investments in Outside Investment Opportunities (as defined in Item 11.B.4) through a Sidecar Series (as defined below); and (vi) engaging in any and all activities necessary, advisable or incidental to the foregoing (including complying with any Risk Retention Rules (as defined in Item 11.B.4)). NBLA IV has established a separate series (each a “Series”, and together, the “Series”) for (1) CLO collateral management activities (the “Management Series”), (2) EU and/or UK risk retention “origination” activities, if any (the “EU/UK Originator Series”), (3) holding the Retention Interests, the Performance Notes, the Preferred Return Notes and any other notes issued by the CLOs and purchased by NBLA IV (the “RiskRetentionSeries”), and (4) holding investments in Outside Investment Opportunities (the “SidecarSeries”). The interests in each Series are held by Holdings. NBLA IV is managed by a board of directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) consisting of at least two directors appointed by Holdings (as directed for these purposes by the holders of the Class A Interests in Holdings (the “ClassAInvestors”)). The directors are Brad Tank, Joseph Amato, Kenneth deRegt and Stephen Wright. The Board is the “manager” of NBLA IV under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act with the ultimate responsibility over the business and affairs of NBLA IV. A director may be removed by a majority vote of the Board of Directors or by Holdings, as directed for these purposes by the Class A Investors. If a director is removed or resigns for any reason, then Holdings (as directed for these purposes by the Class A Investors) shall appoint a replacement director. The Board of Directors has appointed, and delegated authority to make investment decisions within certain pre-defined investment parameters in respect of a CLO and NBLA IV’s assets, to an investment committee consisting of certain of the employees of NBLA IV and subject to the general supervision and oversight of the Board of Directors (the “Investment Committee”). The members of the Investment Committee are Joseph Lynch, Stephen Casey and Pim van Schie. NBLA IV is able to enter into transactions, including engagement letters with respect to new warehouse and CLO transactions, collateral management agreements, credit agreements, indentures, purchase and sale agreements, risk retention letters, subscription agreements and other documentation, on the instruction of the Investment Committee but without prior approval of the Board of Directors or the NBLA IV investors if such transactions are consistent with NBLA IV’s investment parameters. The sponsorship of a new CLO or warehouse facility outside of the investment parameters requires the consent of Holdings, as directed for these purposes by a supermajority-in-interest of the Class B Investors. NBIA (in such capacity, the “Sub‐Advisor”) acts as sub-advisor to NBLA IV with respect to all CLOs managed by NBLA IV pursuant to a Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Sub-Advisor and NBLA IV (the “Sub‐AdvisoryAgreement”). The Sub-Advisor assists NBLA IV by, among other things, providing research and credit analysis services, sourcing assets and making recommendations regarding assets to be acquired and sold by NBLA IV in its capacity as collateral manager for the CLOs, and making recommendations regarding whether and when to close CLOs or refinance or reprice the notes issued by the CLO issuers. The Sub-Advisor advises NBLA IV with regard to all or substantially all of its investment and other activities; provided that, in connection with each CLO, the Investment Committee shall retain final responsibility for: (i) approving the collateral management parameters for the CLO issuer, (ii) participating in the credit review of all assets proposed to be acquired by the CLO issuer, and (iii) approving the purchase and sale of any asset by any CLO issuer. For a more complete discussion of NBIA, please refer to NBIA’s Form ADV which is publicly available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. NBIA (in such capacity, the “StaffandServicesProvider”) provides (i) certain middle and back- office services (including legal, compliance and execution) (collectively,

“SupportServices”), (ii) other administrative services, infrastructure and shared office space (collectively, “Administrative Services”), and (iii) the services of Shared Employees (as defined below) to NBLA IV pursuant to a Staff and Services Agreement between the Staff and Services Provider and NBLA IV (the “StaffandServicesAgreement”). The investment management activities of NBLA IV, and the day-to-day management of the business and affairs of NBLA IV, are performed by NBLA IV’s officers and employees, with ultimate credit and investment decision-making authority resting with the Investment Committee. Certain employees of NBLA IV (“SharedEmployees”) are jointly employed by NBLA IV and the Staff and Services Provider pursuant to the Staff and Services Agreement (and may be employed by other entities that are affiliated with the Staff and Services Provider), but such employees are under the direction and supervision of the Board of Directors in the performance of their duties related to NBLA IV. In addition, NBLA IV may hire certain employees that are not employees of the Staff and Services Provider. All of the employees of NBLA IV have entered into employment agreements with NBLA IV, in addition to any provision for such employees in the Staff and Services Agreement.

The CLOs for which NBLA IV serves as collateral manager may also be collectively referred to herein as the “ClientAccounts.” C. ClientTailoredServicesandClientTailoredRestrictions NBLA IV enters into discretionary collateral management agreements with the CLOs. Services are performed in accordance with the terms of each such agreement. Each CLO may impose investment restrictions as it deems appropriate. Such investment restrictions are typically set forth in the applicable CLO Offering Materials.

Each CLO and its Trustee and board of directors may have the ability to impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
