CIFC and LBC is each separately registered with the SEC as an investment adviser. A copy of CIFC’s or LBC’s Brochure is available through the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure page. Unless otherwise noted, this Brochure refers to all the above advisers (collectively, the “Advisers”). Today, the Advisers collectively serve over 500 institutional investors globally with over 90 investment professionals based all across the U.S. and in Europe. Stephen Vaccaro is the Advisers’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer. The Advisers’ share or overlap investment management functions, including Investment Research team, Portfolio Management and Trading, delineated by strategy (see Item 13), and a joint Code of Ethics (see Item 11). The Advisers will provide each client with the applicable Brochure Supplements containing the names and experience for the principal members of the Investment Research team and Portfolio Management team. General description of advisory business The Advisers are predominantly credit managers that invest in corporate credit, structured credit, opportunistic credit and middle market direct lending assets. Depending on strategy, the Advisers generally employ an investment approach that includes a disciplined assessment of fundamental credit, appropriateness of capital structure, collateral protection, market technicals, and contractual terms. In addition, the Advisers strive to utilize internally-developed risk ratings based on individual obligor assessment without undue reliance on credit rating agencies, diversified investment portfolios by avoiding concentration imbalances, on-going active portfolio management and utilization of industry best practices and proprietary tools. As part of ongoing portfolio management and subject to the relevant investment guidelines, the Advisers continuously re-assess and adjust the investments held by each client by identifying relative value differentials, market inefficiencies and technical imbalances. The majority of clients are collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), securitized asset pools that invest principally in senior secured corporate loans (“SSCLs”). In addition, the Advisers manage open and closed-end funds, privately offered pooled alternative investment funds (including co- investment, feeder and parallel funds), and separately managed accounts (including funds-of- one), which invest in broadly syndicated corporate loans or direct middle market corporate loans, high-yield bonds, CLO warehouses, CLO bonds, CLO equity, and equity and debt of stressed or distressed issuers. CIM provides investment advisory services as a sub-adviser to two investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Companies”). CIFC has been in the advisory business since 2005; CIM since 1996; and LBC since 2012. Principal owners CIM is

wholly owned directly by CIFC Capital HoldCo LLC, which is an indirect subsidiary of CIFC LLC. On the Effective Date, CIFC LLC was acquired by Centricus Holdings I LP (formerly known as F.A.B. Holdings I LP) (“Centricus Holdings”), which is owned by Centricus Financial Investments LP (formerly known as F.A.B. Financial Investments LP) (“Centricus Financial”) and certain CIFC employees. Centricus Financial is majority-owned by Supreme Universal Holdings Ltd. and Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani is the sole member thereof. The general partner of both Centricus Holdings and Centricus Financial is Centricus Financial Investments GP Limited. Type of advisory services that are offered The Advisers invest in corporate credit (SSCLs, high yield bonds), structured credit (CLO warehouses and CLO bonds and CLO equity) and opportunistic credit (equity and loans), sourced from both primary and secondary markets, and middle market direct lending, for (i) CLOs, (ii) private investment funds and registered investment companies (collectively, “funds”); or (ii) separately managed accounts, including funds-of-one (collectively, “other accounts”). Additionally, CIFC provides sub-advisory services to other investment advisers (together with the CLOs, funds and other accounts, the “client accounts”). In addition to the core assets above, and subject to the applicable investment advisory agreements and offering documents, and subject to the relevant investment objectives, client accounts may maintain flexibility to invest in other types of publicly or privately-offered assets (both long and short), including but not limited to, preferred stocks, American Depositary Receipts, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), unregistered or restricted securities, convertible securities, warrants, forward contracts, cash and cash equivalents, interest-rate and other swaps, futures, options and other derivatives. Unless otherwise provided in the investment advisory agreement or similar governing documents, the Advisers have discretionary trading authority over the client accounts. There can be no assurance that the client accounts’ objectives will be achieved, and investment results may vary substantially. How advisory services are tailored to clients’ needs The Advisers tailor their advisory services to the individual needs of their client accounts. Generally, at the time a client account is structured and opened, there is discussion between the Adviser and the client account, and those that invest in the client account, regarding the investment strategy and risk, investment restrictions and investment structure and on other aspects of the Advisers’ management of the client account’s portfolios. Amount of client assets under management (“AUM”) As of December 31, 2023: (a) CIM managed $592,185,352 of client assets on a discretionary basis, (b) CIFC, CLO Manager, CLO Manager II, CLO Manager III, CLO Manager VS and CIFC Europe together managed $38,038,508,799 of client assets on a discretionary basis1, and (c) LBC managed $3,486,354,210 of client assets on a discretionary basis and $18,866,450 of client assets on a non-discretionary basis.
