Explanation of Responses:

1. Effective as of August 31, 2015, Ares Multi-Strategy Credit Fund, Inc. (the "Target Fund") was reorganized into Ares Dynamic Credit Allocation Fund, Inc. (the "Acquiring Fund," and such reorganization, the "Reorganization"). In the Reorganization, common stockholders of the Target Fund received shares of common stock of the Acquiring Fund in an amount equal to the aggregate net asset value of shares of the Target Fund's common stock as determined at the close of business on August 28, 2015, less the costs of the Reorganization (although cash was distributed for any fractional shares). As of August 28, 2015, the Target Fund reported a net asset value per share of $21.020937 and the Acquiring Fund reported a net asset value per share of $17.322984. The conversion ratio for the Target Fund's common shares was 1.21347090. In the Reorganization, Mr. Ashton received 848 shares of common stock of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for his 700 shares of common stock of the Target Fund.
