ORIX is a publicly owned Tokyo-based international financial services company established in 1964. ORIX is listed on the Tokyo (8591) and New York (NYSE:IX) stock exchanges. Boston Partners has been in business, through its predecessor companies, since 1970. Boston Partners has an additional division, Weiss Peck & Greer (“WPG Partners”). Boston Partners has established a division called Boston Partners Private Wealth (“BPPW”) that provides a wide range of discretionary and non-discretionary wealth management services to high-net-worth individuals and other organizations in a variety of investment strategies. BPPW has a separate ADV 2 brochure. Boston Partners is the parent of Boston Partners Securities L.L.C. (“Boston Partners Securities”), a limited purpose broker-dealer, which offers interests in registered and unregistered funds advised by Boston Partners or its affiliates. Boston Partners is also the parent of Boston Partners Trust Company (“BPTC”), a non- depository trust company formed in New Hampshire, which offers interests in bank collective investment trusts. Boston Partners is also the parent of Boston Partners (UK) Limited (“Boston Partners UK”), a private limited company formed in the United Kingdom.

Boston Partners provides certain investment products of its affiliate, Robeco Institutional Asset Management US Inc. (“RIAM US”), to US clients. RIAM US is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ORIX and provides investment advice for Robeco Institutional Asset Management B.V.’s (“RIAM”) products in global securities via either a subadvisory relationship with Boston Partners or by contracting directly with US clients. Where Boston Partners is the adviser and RIAM US the subadviser, both Boston Partners and RIAM US claim the assets as part of their respective assets under management in marketing materials. Boston Partners obtains revenue for the servicing of RIAM US portfolios. Boston Partners assists in selling a pooled vehicle for which it has engaged its affiliate, Transtrend B.V., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ORIX, to provide commodity trading advice. B. Types of Advisory Services Boston Partners provides investment supervisory services, also known as asset management services. Boston Partners provides continuous investment advice on a fully discretionary basis to institutions, including registered investment companies, and to high net worth individuals for a variety of investment strategies. Boston Partners primarily provides advice using a value style approach for large cap equity, mid cap equity, small cap equity, long/short equity, global equity, international equity, emerging markets equity and global sustainability equity. WPG Partners primarily provides advice regarding small cap value equity and micro cap opportunities equity. For balanced account services, Boston Partners maintains the asset allocation between equity and fixed income and provides discretionary investment advice with respect to the equity portion of the account. Investment strategies are offered through a variety of vehicles, including but not limited to separate accounts, and registered and unregistered funds. Boston Partners, or an affiliate, serves as general partner or investment adviser and/or sponsor, or has some financial interest in various investment partnerships or limited liability companies, and other separately managed and/or commingled accounts, as discussed further in Item 11 below ("Proprietary Accounts"). Boston Partners typically seeds Proprietary Accounts to develop and implement new investment strategies prior to offering such strategies to clients. Boston Partners offers investment advisory services to investment companies (or portfolios or series thereof) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Boston Partners acts as the investment adviser to the Boston Partners All Cap Value Fund, the Boston Partners Small Cap Value Fund II, the Boston Partners Global Equity Fund, the Boston Partners Global Sustainability Fund, the Boston Partners Long/Short Equity Fund, the Boston Partners Long/Short Research Fund, the Boston Partners Global Long/Short Fund, the Boston Partners Emerging Markets Fund, the Boston Partners Emerging Markets Dynamic Equity Fund, WPG Partners Select Small Cap Value Fund and the WPG Partners Small Cap Value Diversified Fund (the “Boston Partners Mutual Funds”). Boston Partners may provide financial futures advice to various Boston Partners Mutual Funds, private investment funds, and separately managed accounts. Boston Partners offers advice on a wide-range of securities and contracts. Investments will include: equities (stocks), preferred stock, convertible securities, convertible preferred stock with fixed or adjustable rates, warrants, investment company securities (mutual funds shares), various money market instruments, depository receipts, and common stock issued by foreign issuers, foreign currencies and currency hedges, forward contracts, exchange traded funds or unit investment trusts, and various derivative or hybrid securities and investment techniques, including but not limited to futures contracts, options contracts, swaps and contracts for differences. Initial public offerings (IPOs) are available to Boston Partners’ clients in certain circumstances. Boston Partners’ investment personnel share security information internally, or on a more limited basis with its affiliates. Information will be shared through periodic reports of holdings, formal meetings, and informal discussions among investment personnel. While the divisions share information regarding a particular security, Boston Partners and each division and RIAM makes its own independent investment decision for the particular client accounts or portions of those accounts that it manages or subadvises. Policies are in place to protect Boston Partners clients when any personal identifiable information is shared with its affiliates. Employees of Boston Partners who are registered

representatives of Boston Partners Securities L.L.C. offer investment opportunities to clients in the form of mutual funds and limited partnership or other interests in private investment vehicles as well as Canadian pooled funds. C. Tailored Relationships Boston Partners offers several products to prospective clients; for example, US large cap equity. Clients generally select Boston Partners to manage money in a particular product category and have undertaken their own asset allocation decisions and due diligence on managers and products. All investment management assignments are governed by client guidelines, either standard Boston Partners guidelines adopted by the client, or guidelines submitted by the client. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on the types of investments made by Boston Partners. Boston Partners will assess those restrictions and discuss with the client the potential impact on the portfolio of restrictions that Boston Partners deems material. Boston Partners will reject client guideline restriction proposals if they are materially inconsistent with Boston Partners’ investment strategy. D. Wrap Fee Programs Additionally, Boston Partners provides discretionary, investment management services to clients of various wrap-fee programs (“Wrap Programs”) offered by investment adviser/broker-dealers (“Sponsors”). Under these arrangements, the Sponsors provide various services, which typically include investment management, trade execution, custody, performance monitoring, reporting, and other services for an all-inclusive fee. A detailed description of services offered under a specific Wrap Program can be obtained from the Sponsor of such program or from the Sponsor’s Form ADV, Schedule H. Contractual agreements for Wrap Programs are typically between the client and the Sponsor because of the Sponsor’s all-inclusive fee arrangement. The Sponsor, in turn, contracts with Boston Partners for its investment advisory services. Boston Partners receives a portion of the fee received by the Sponsor. Under a Wrap Program, the Sponsor typically assists the client in defining the client’s investment objectives based on information provided by the client; aids in the selection of one or more investment managers to manage the client’s accounts; and periodically contacts the client to ascertain whether there has been any change in the client’s financial circumstances or objectives that warrant a change in the arrangement or the manner in which the client’s assets are managed. Although Boston Partners does not normally have direct initial client contact, the information obtained by the Sponsor is expected to be sufficiently detailed so that Boston Partners is able to provide individualized investment management services to each client. Boston Partners will take into consideration each client’s investment objectives and other individual circumstances and reasonable restrictions. In addition, Boston Partners makes itself reasonably available to the Sponsor and the client, for joint consultations, to ensure Boston Partners’ ability to maintain individualized investment management services. In evaluating a Wrap Program, clients should consider a number of factors. A client may be able to obtain some or all of the services available through a particular Wrap Program on an “unbundled” basis through the Sponsor of that program or through other firms and, depending on the circumstances, the aggregate of any separately paid fees may be lower (or higher) than the single, all-inclusive (or “wrap”) fee charged in the Wrap Program. Furthermore, Boston Partners participates in a Sponsor’s Unified Management Account Program (“UMA Program"). Under a UMA Program, Boston Partners provides a model portfolio to the Sponsor, and the Sponsor executes transactions for its client accounts taking into consideration the individual needs of the particular client. Under a UMA Program, Boston Partners does not render individualized investment management services to the Sponsor’s client. The process for security selection for accounts for Wrap Programs and UMA Programs is the same as for Boston Partners’ other accounts. Boston Partners will attempt to manage the delivery of trading instructions to the Sponsors to ensure that the trading opportunities are fair and equitable to all clients. This could involve either simultaneous trade instructions or a rotation system. Boston Partners provides investment advisory services to the following Wrap Programs:
