Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Special Value Expansion Fund, LLC

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Special Value Expansion Fund, LLC (a Delaware Limited Liability Company) (the Company), including the statement of investments, as of September 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included verification by examination of securities held by the custodian as of September 30, 2012, and confirmation of securities not held by the custodian by correspondence with others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Special Value Expansion Fund, LLC at September 30, 2012, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

September 30, 2012

 

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Special Value Expansion Fund, LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a nondiversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company will not be taxed on its income to the extent that it distributes such income each year and satisfies other applicable income tax requirements.

 

The Certificate of Formation of the Company was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on August 12, 2004. Investment operations commenced and initial funding was received on September 1, 2004. The Company was formed to acquire a portfolio of investments consisting primarily of bank loans, distressed debt, stressed high yield debt, mezzanine investments and public equities. The stated objective of the Company is to generate current income as well as long-term capital appreciation using a leveraged capital structure. GMAM Investment Funds Trust II (“GMAM”) owns 99.5% of the Company’s common shares.

 

Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC serves as the investment manager of the Company (the “Investment Manager”). Company management consists of the Investment Manager and the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”). The Investment Manager directs and executes the day-to-day operations of the Company, subject to oversight from the Board of Directors, which sets the broad policies for the Company. The Board of Directors consists of three persons, two of whom are independent. If the Company has preferred shares outstanding, as it currently does, the holders of the preferred shares voting separately as a class will be entitled to elect two of the Company’s Directors. The remaining Director of the Company will be subject to election by holders of common shares and preferred shares voting together as a single class.

 

Company Structure

 

As of September 30, 2012, total maximum capitalization of the Company was approximately $400.2 million, consisting of $300 million of committed common equity, $100 million under a senior secured revolving credit and term loan facility (the “Senior Facility”), and $156,000 of Series Z Preferred Stock. The contributed investor capital and the amount drawn under the Senior Facility are to be used to purchase Company investments and to pay certain fees and expenses of the Company. Most of the cash and investments of the Company are included in the collateral for the Senior Facility.

 

The Company will liquidate and distribute its assets and will be dissolved on September 1, 2014, subject to up to two one-year extensions if requested by the Investment Manager and approved by a majority of the Company’s equity interests.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Company.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuation

 

Management values investments held by the Company at fair value based upon the principles and methods of valuation set forth in policies adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and in conformity with procedures set forth in the Senior Facility. Fair value is generally defined as the amount for which an investment would be sold in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

All investments are valued at least quarterly based on affirmative pricing or quotations from independent third-party sources, with the exception of investments priced directly by the Investment Manager which together comprise, in total, less than 5% of the total capitalization of the Company. Investments listed on a recognized exchange or market quotation system, whether U.S. or foreign, are valued for financial reporting purposes as of the last business day of the reporting period using the closing price on the date of valuation. Liquid investments not listed on a recognized exchange or market quotation system are priced by a nationally recognized pricing service or by using quotations from broker-dealers. Investments not priced by a pricing service or for which market quotations are either not readily available or are determined to be unreliable are valued by independent valuation services or, for investments aggregating less than 5% of the total capitalization of the Company, by the Investment Manager.

 

Fair valuations of investments are determined under guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors, and are subject to their approval. Generally, to increase objectivity in valuing the Company’s investments, the Investment Manager will utilize external measures of value, such as public markets or third-party transactions, whenever possible. The Investment Manager’s valuation is not based on long-term work-out value, immediate liquidation value, or

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

incremental value for potential changes that may take place in the future. The values assigned to investments that are valued by the Investment Manager are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, as these amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot reasonably be determined until the individual investments are actually liquidated. The foregoing policies apply to all investments, including those in companies and groups of affiliated companies aggregating more than 5% of the Company’s assets.

 

Fair valuations of investments in each asset class are determined using one or more methodologies including the market approach, income approach, or, in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that may be taken into account include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, our principal market and enterprise values, among other factors.

 

The ranges of unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2012 were as follows:

 

Asset Type   Valuation Technique   Unobservable Input   Range
Bank debt   Market comparable companies Market rate approach   EBITDA multiples Market interest rate  

4.7x to 7.25x
5.8% to 16.6%

Other corporate debt   Market comparable companies   EBITDA multiples   5.0x to 5.0x
Equity   Market comparable companies    EBITDA multiples   4.7x to 9.5x

 

Significant increases or decreases in any of the above inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

 

Investments of the Company may be categorized based on the types of inputs used in valuing such investments. The level in the GAAP valuation hierarchy in which an investment falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation of the investment in its entirety. Transfers between levels are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

Investment Transactions

 

The Company records investment transactions on the trade date, except for private transactions that have conditions to closing, which are recorded on the closing date. The cost of investments purchased is based upon the purchase price plus those professional fees which are specifically identifiable to the investment transaction. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded based on the specific identification method, which typically allocates the highest cost inventory to the basis of the investments sold.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash consists of amounts held in accounts with brokerage firms and the custodian bank. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Repurchase Agreements

 

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Company’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral, the fair value of which is required to exceed the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Company may be delayed or limited.

 

Restricted Investments

 

The Company may invest without limitation in instruments that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These investments generally may be resold to institutional investors in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these investments may involve time-consuming negotiations and additional expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted investments is included at the end of the Statement of Investments. Restricted investments, including any restricted investments in affiliates, are valued in accordance with the investment valuation policies discussed above.

 

Foreign Investments

 

The Company may invest in instruments traded in foreign countries and denominated in foreign currencies. At September 30, 2012, the Company had foreign currency denominated investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately 8.9% of the Company’s total investments. Such positions were converted at the closing rate in effect at September 30, 2012 and reported in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, when they occur, are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions. Realized or unrealized gains and losses from investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations with realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the market prices of such investments.

 

Investments in foreign companies and securities of foreign governments may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include, among other things, revaluation of currencies, less reliable information about issuers, different transactions clearance and settlement practices, and potential future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, investments in foreign companies and securities of foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.

Derivatives

 

In order to mitigate certain currency exchange and interest rate risks associated with foreign currency denominated investments, the Company has entered into certain swap and forward exchange transactions. The Company also acquired or wrote certain commodity options to mitigate the effect of fluctuations in commodity prices on certain of the Company’s investments. The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The transactions entered into are accounted for using the mark-to-market method with the resulting change in fair value recognized in earnings for the current period. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in interest rates, commodity prices, or the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

All gains and losses from derivative transactions during the year ended September 30, 2012 were included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the Statement of Operations as follows:

 

Instrument  Realized   Unrealized 
Cross-currency basis swap  $424,642   $12,619 
Crude oil options   (605,308)   149,802 
Foreign currency forward exchange contract   (33,082)   - 

 

Valuations of all open swap and option contracts at September 30, 2012 were determined using observable market inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, and, accordingly, are classified as Level 2 in the GAAP valuation hierarchy.

 

Purchase Discounts

 

The majority of the Company’s high yield and distressed debt investments are purchased at a considerable discount to par as a result of the underlying credit risks and financial results of the issuer and by general market factors that influence the financial markets as a whole. GAAP generally requires that discounts on the acquisition of corporate (investment grade) bonds, municipal bonds and treasury bonds be amortized using the effective-interest or constant-yield method. However, GAAP also requires the Company to consider the collectability of interest when making accruals. Accordingly, when accounting for purchase discounts, the Company recognizes discount accretion income when it is probable that such amounts will be collected, generally at disposition. When the Company receives principal payments on a loan in an amount in excess of the loan’s amortized cost, it records the excess principal payments as interest income.

Income Taxes

 

The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pertaining to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is required in the financial statements. As of September 30, 2012, all tax years since October 1, 2009 remain subject to examination by federal tax authorities. No such examinations are currently pending.

 

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted at year end for any permanent book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences are attributable to differing book and tax treatments for the timing of the recognition of gains and losses on certain investment transactions and will reverse in subsequent periods.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the tax basis components of distributable earnings (accumulated deficit), unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of the investments (including derivatives) of the Company were as follows:

 

Undistributed ordinary income  $2,450,803 
Capital loss carryforwards   (24,733,772)
Post-October capital loss deferrals   - 
Post-October currency loss deferrals
   - 
      
Unrealized appreciation   38,572,987 
Unrealized depreciation   (141,849,262)
Net unrealized depreciation   (103,276,275)
      
Cost of investments   338,051,081 

 

New Accounting Guidance

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASU 2011-04”).  ASU 2011-04 was issued to converge guidance from the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board on measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  The changes include a consistent definition of the term “fair value” and enhanced disclosure requirements for investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, such as additional quantitative information about significant

unobservable inputs and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in the unobservable inputs.  The provisions of ASU 2011-04 were effective for the Company on January 1, 2012.  The Company’s adoption of ASU 2011-04 resulted in increased disclosures around fair value but did not impact the measurement of fair value of the Company’s investments.

 

3. Distributions and Performance Fees

 

As a performance fee, the Investment Manager receives an amount equal to 20% of distributions of net income and gain (gross of performance fees), after cumulative distributions to common shareholders have been made in an amount equal to a 12% annual weighted-average return on common shareholders’ undistributed contributed equity (the “Hurdle”). After the Hurdle is met, the Investment Manager also receives a catch-up payment until its cumulative performance fee payments equal 20% of cumulative income and gain distributions (gross of performance fees). Performance fees are accrued in a consistent manner, based on cumulative net income or loss and realized and unrealized gains or losses. As of September 30, 2012, the Hurdle exceeded the cumulative performance of the fund; accordingly, no liability for accrued but unpaid performance fees was recorded.

 

Distributions paid to shareholders are generally based on the taxable earnings of the Company, which may differ from earnings for financial reporting purposes, and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The timing of distributions is determined by the Board of Directors, which has provided the Investment Manager with certain criteria for such distributions. Any net long-term capital gains are distributed at least annually. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had declared $183,160,000 in distributions to common shareholders since inception.

 

The Series Z share dividend rate is fixed at 8% per annum.

 

4. Management and Advisory Fees and Other Expenses

 

The Company incurs an annual management and advisory fee, payable to the Investment Manager monthly in arrears, equal to 0.60% of the sum of the total common shareholder commitments and the maximum commitment under the Senior Facility. In addition to the management fee, the Investment Manager is entitled to a performance fee as discussed in Note 3, above.

September 30, 2012

 

4. Management and Advisory Fees and Other Expenses (continued)

 

The Company pays all expenses incurred in connection with the business of the Company, including fees and expenses of outside contracted services, such as custodian, trustee, administrative, legal, audit and tax preparation fees, costs of valuing investments, insurance costs, brokers’ and finders’ fees relating to investments and any other transaction costs associated with the purchase and sale of investments of the Company.

 

5. Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

 

The Company’s Senior Facility is comprised of a revolving credit facility of $90 million and a $10 million term loan. The Senior Facility matures on August 1, 2014, subject to extension by the lenders for one year at the request of the Company. Amounts borrowed under the amended Senior Facility bear interest at LIBOR or EURIBOR plus 3.5% per annum. The Company also incurs commitment fees at a rate of 1.25% per year on the undrawn portion of the amended Senior Facility. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2012 was 3.71%. The Senior Facility may be terminated, and any outstanding amounts thereunder may become due and payable, should the Company fail to satisfy certain financial or other covenants. As of September 30, 2012, the Company was in full compliance with such covenants.

 

The Company records the Senior Facility at fair value in order to more accurately reflect the impact of the current market environment on the Company’s financial position and results of operations as a whole. At September 30, 2012, the fair value of outstanding advances under the Senior Facility exceeded the principal amount by $2,247,348, as reflected in the Company’s statement of assets and liabilities. The fair value of the Senior Facility was determined by the Investment Manager using observable market inputs including LIBOR yield curves and quoted prices for similar issues, as well as certain unobservable inputs as needed, resulting in a Level 3 classification for the Senior Facility as a whole in the GAAP valuation hierarchy.

 

6. Commitments, Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

 

The Company conducts business with brokers and dealers that are primarily headquartered in New York and Los Angeles and are members of the major securities exchanges. Banking activities are conducted with a firm headquartered in the New York area.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company’s investment activities involve executions, settlement and financing of various investment transactions resulting in receivables from, and payables to, brokers, dealers, and the Company’s custodian. These activities may expose the Company to risk in the event such parties are unable to fulfill contractual obligations. Management does not anticipate any material losses from counterparties with whom it conducts

business. The Statement of Investments includes certain revolving loan facilities held by the Company with aggregate unfunded balances of approximately $3 million as of September 30, 2012. These instruments are reflected at fair value and may be drawn up to the principal amount shown. In August of 2008, the Company agreed to guarantee certain obligations of an affiliated portfolio company and certain of its affiliates up to an aggregate amount of approximately $1.5 million. This amount was increased to approximately $3 million in November of 2008. The guaranty may be terminated by the Company at any time subject to certain conditions. The Company expects the risk of loss from the guaranty to be remote.

 

Consistent with standard business practice, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications, and is engaged from time to time in various legal actions. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements and activities is unknown. However, the Company expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

 

7. Related Parties

 

The Company, the Investment Manager, and their members and affiliates may be considered related parties. From time to time, the Investment Manager advances payments to third parties on behalf of the Company and receives reimbursement from the Company. At September 30, 2012, such reimbursable amounts totaled $81,592 as reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

8. Preferred Capital

 

Series A and B

 

Prior to the amendment of the Senior Facility on December 6, 2010, the Company had 953 shares of Series A and B preferred equity outstanding with a liquidation preference of $50,000 per share (plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends upon liquidation). In connection with the Senior Facility amendment, the remaining outstanding shares were redeemed.

 

Series S

 

The Company had issued, at inception, one share of its Series S preferred shares to SVOF/MM, LLC, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 plus accumulated but unpaid dividends. SVOF/MM, LLC is controlled by the Investment Manager and owned substantially entirely by the Investment Manager and certain affiliates. In 2005, the Series S preferred share was retired

and assumed the status of an authorized but unissued share. Prior to retirement, the Series S preferred shareholder was entitled to receive, as dividends, the amount of the performance allocation pursuant to Note 3, above, which is now payable to the Investment Manager as a performance fee which reduces operating income as reflected in the Statement of Operations. The retirement of the Series S preferred share had no impact on any shareholder other than the Series S preferred shareholder.

 

Series Z

 

The Company has 312 shares of Series Z preferred equity outstanding, each having a liquidation preference of $500 plus accumulated but unpaid dividends and paying dividends at an annual rate equal to 8% of the liquidation preference. The Series Z preferred shares are redeemable at any time at the option of the Company and may only be transferred with the consent of the Company.

(2)Returns (net of dividends to preferred shareholders and fund expenses, including financing costs and management and performance fees) calculated on a monthly geometrically linked, time-weighted basis.

 

(3)These ratios included interest expense but do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to preferred shareholders.

 

(4)Net of dividends to preferred shareholders and fund expenses, including financing costs and management and performance fees. Internal rate of return (“IRR”) is the imputed annual return over an investment period and, mathematically, is the rate of return at which the discounted cash flows equal the initial cash outlays. The internal rate of return presented assumes liquidation of the fund at net asset value as of the balance sheet date.

Approval of Investment Management Agreement

(Unaudited)

 

On April 27, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company, including the “non-interested” Directors (the “Independent Directors”), voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) for an additional one-year term.

 

In considering whether to recommend re-approval of the Management Agreement, the Independent Directors reviewed materials provided by the Investment Manager, fund counsel and independent counsel. The Directors also met with senior personnel of the Investment Manager and discussed a number of topics affecting their determination, including the following.

 

(i) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager. The Independent Directors reviewed the services that the Investment Manager provides to the Company. The Independent Directors noted the comprehensive range of such services and that the Investment Manager had developed reporting, valuation and other procedures that were customized to the specialized nature of the Company, and that the Investment Manager had expertise in administering such procedures. In addition, the Independent Directors considered the size, education, background and experience of the Investment Manager’s staff. They also took into consideration the Investment Manager’s quality of service and noted its longevity in the industry. Lastly, the Independent Directors reviewed the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain quality and experienced personnel. The Independent Directors concluded that the scope of services expected to be provided by the Investment Manager to the Company and the experience and expertise of the personnel performing such services was consistent with the nature, extent and quality expected of an Investment Manager of an investment vehicle such as the Company.

 

(ii) Investment performance of the Company and the Investment Manager. The Independent Directors reviewed the past investment performance of the Company and other funds for which the Investment Manager provides investment advisory services, both on an absolute basis and as compared to other funds that had invested in similar investments, as well as general market indices, and the Independent Directors noted that the Company had performed satisfactorily.

 

(iii) Cost of the services provided and profits realized by the Investment Manager from the relationship with the Company. The Independent Directors considered the cost of the services provided by the Investment Manager. As part of their analysis, the Independent Directors gave substantial consideration to the compensation payable to the Investment Manager, the terms of which are summarized in the footnotes to the financial statements included in this report. The Independent Directors also noted the types of expenses for which the Company or the Investment Manager is responsible. In reviewing

 

35

Approval of Investment Management Agreement (Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

the management compensation, the Independent Directors considered the management fees and operating expense ratios of other registered and non-registered funds managed by the Investment Manager and by other managers that had somewhat comparable investment programs. The Independent Directors also noted that the compensation provisions had been subject to extensive discussion with several of the large institutional investors in the Company.

 

The Independent Directors also reviewed information regarding the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with the Company and information on the financial condition of the Investment Manager. The Independent Directors noted that the Investment Manager and its affiliates did not receive revenues from any other source, such as brokerage commissions or origination fees, in relation to the Company. The Independent Directors found that the profits realized by the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Company were reasonable and consistent with the Investment Manager’s fiduciary duties. The Independent Directors also found that the Investment Manager had the financial resources necessary to continue to carry out its functions.

 

The Independent Directors concluded that the management and performance fees for the Investment Manager were reasonable.

 

(iv) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Company grows and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale. In light of the Company’s predetermined size and policy of distributing all realized income, the Independent Directors determined that the possibility of economies of scale was not relevant with respect to the current structure of the Company and, accordingly, did not consider whether fee levels would reflect any economies of scale.

 

In considering the Company’s Management Agreement, no single factor was determinative to the decision of the Directors. Rather, after weighing all of the reasons discussed above, the Independent Directors unanimously recommended re-approval of the Management Agreement.

ITEM 7.DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

 

TENNENBAUM CAPITAL PARTNERS, LLC
PROXY VOTING POLICY

 

This policy has been adopted by Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC to facilitate the voting of proxies relating to portfolio securities of clients with respect to which Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC or any of its affiliates that are subject to the

 

38
 

 

Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (collectively “Tennenbaum”) provide investment advisory services. In connection with these investment advisory services, Tennenbaum exercises voting responsibilities for its clients through its corporate proxy voting process.

 

Special Value Opportunities Fund, LLC, Special Value Expansion Fund, LLC, Special Value Continuation Fund, LLC, Special Value Continuation Partners, LP, Tennenbaum Opportunities Fund V, LLC, and Tennenbaum Opportunities Partners V, LP have delegated to Tennenbaum the authority to vote proxies relating to their respective portfolio securities in accordance with this policy.

 

This policy is intended by Tennenbaum (i) to constitute “written policies and procedures” as described in Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) and (ii) to constitute proxy voting policies and procedures referred to in Item 18 of Form N-2 adopted under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).

  

Definitions

 

“Client” means any person with whom Tennenbaum has a contract to perform discretionary investment management services and for whom Tennenbaum is authorized by the contract or required by applicable law to vote or consider voting securities held in the Client’s account.

 

“Compliance Officer” means the Chief Compliance Officer, Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC.

 

“Conflict of Interest” means, as to any Client, any conflict between a pecuniary interest of Tennenbaum or any of its affiliates (other than such Client, if deemed an affiliate) and the duties of Tennenbaum to the Client.

 

“Investment Committee” means the Investment Committee of Tennenbaum or such committee to which it shall have delegated the functions of the Investment Committee hereunder.

 

“Portfolio Manager” means, with respect to a Client, the particular Tennenbaum entity providing investment advisory services to such Client and the senior personnel responsible for such entity’s investment decisions.

 

“Proxy Voting Coordinator” means the individual appointed from time to time by Investment Committee to perform the proxy voting coordination functions described in this policy.

 

“Registered Fund” means any Client registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

 

“Social Issues” means any issue presented for a vote of holders of any security which is held in an account on behalf of a Client which may reasonably be interpreted as

 

39
 

  

(i) unrelated in any substantial respect to the voting objective of this policy and (ii) intended to promote directly or indirectly the interests of persons who are not holders of the relevant security.

 

“Tennenbaum” means Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC and each of its affiliates that is subject to registration under the Advisers Act or is otherwise subject to the rules and regulations thereunder generally, including, specifically, Rule 206(4)-6.

 

“Voting Results” means the specific information described under the caption “Accumulating Voting Results.”

 

Objectives

 

This policy defines procedures for voting securities held on behalf of each Client in respect of which Tennenbaum has the discretionary authority to vote, to ensure that such securities are voted for the benefit of and in the best interest of the Client. The primary objective of voting a security in each case under this policy is to seek to enhance the value of the investment which the security represents or to reduce the potential for a decline in the value of the investment which the security represents. In appropriate cases a related objective will be to obtain or maintain influence or control over management of a company.

 

This policy does not prescribe specific voting requirements. Instead, this policy provides procedures for (i) assembling voting information and applying the informed expertise and judgment of Tennenbaum’s personnel on a timely basis in pursuit of the above stated voting objectives and (ii) addressing conflicts of interest.

 

A further element of this policy is that while voting on all issues presented should be considered, voting on all issues is not required. Some issues presented for a vote of security holders are not relevant to this policy’s voting objectives, or it is not reasonably possible to ascertain what effect, if any, a vote on a given issue may have on the value of an investment. Accordingly, Tennenbaum may abstain from voting or decline a vote in those cases where, in Tennenbaum’s judgment (i) there is no relationship between the issue and the enhancement or preservation of an investment’s value or (ii) the achievement of the Client’s investment objectives are not reasonably likely to be a function of the outcome of decisions or issues presented by the vote.

 

Resolutions of Conflicts of Interest

 

It is unlikely that conflicts of interest will arise in the context of Tennenbaum’s proxy voting, because Tennenbaum does not engage in investment banking, the advising of public companies or, except in cases where it exercises control, the managing of public companies.

 

In addition, insofar as Tennenbaum refers discretionary votes to its portfolio managers, Tennenbaum’s Compliance Department monitors all relationships between portfolio managers and their immediate families, on the one hand, and issuers soliciting proxies from Tennenbaum’s Clients, on the other hand. If a portfolio manager conflict is  

 

40
 

 

identified with respect to a given proxy vote, the Investment Committee will remove such vote from the conflicted portfolio manager and will instead consider and cast the vote, refer the vote to an independent third party or abstain from voting.

 

In the event a privately-placed security as to which Tennenbaum or its affiliated adviser entities negotiated more than price related terms is held by a Registered Fund and is the subject of a proxy solicitation or other voting or consent solicitation, and any unregistered fund or separate account managed by Tennenbaum or its affiliated adviser entities also owns securities of the same class as the security held by the Registered Fund that is the subject of the proxy, vote or consent, then Tennenbaum will vote such security in the same manner, at the same time and in amounts proportionate to each such entity’s or account’s investment in such security; provided that if Tennenbaum or its affiliated adviser entities believes that the foregoing policy is not in the best interests of a particular Client in a particular situation, Tennenbaum or its affiliated adviser entities shall be permitted to deviate from the foregoing policy only if it has (i) submitted a proposal to the boards of directors of each applicable Registered Fund explaining the basis for such deviation and (ii) received the approval of a majority of those directors of the Registered Fund who (a) during the previous two years have had no material business or professional relationship with any of the Registered Fund or any other entity or separate account managed by Tennenbaum or its affiliated adviser entities (other than as a director of the Registered Fund) and (b) have no direct or indirect financial interest in the proxy solicitation, vote or consent other than through an investment in one or more of the Registered Fund or any other entity or separate account managed by Tennenbaum or its affiliated adviser entities.

 

In the event that a potential material conflict of interest does arise and is not addressed by the foregoing procedures, the primary means by which Tennenbaum avoids a material conflict of interest in the voting of proxies for its clients is by casting such votes solely in the interests of its Clients and in the interests of maximizing the value of their portfolio holdings.

 

Proxy Voting Coordinator

 

The Investment Committee shall appoint a Proxy Voting Coordinator. The Proxy Voting Coordinator shall discharge the following functions in effectuating this policy:

 

(i)Collecting and assembling proxy statement and other communication pertaining to proxy voting, together with proxies or other means of voting or giving voting instructions, and providing those materials to the appropriate portfolio managers to permit timely voting of proxies;

 

(ii)Collecting recommendations, analysis, commentary and other information respecting subjects of proxy votes, from service providers engaged by Tennenbaum and other services specified by portfolio managers, and providing this information to the appropriate portfolio managers to permit evaluation of proxy voting issues;

  

41
 

 

(iii)Providing to appropriate portfolio managers any specific voting instructions from Clients that are entitled to provide such instructions under the applicable investment advisory agreement;

 

(iv)Collecting proxy votes or instructions from portfolio managers, and transmitting the votes or instructions to the appropriate custodians, brokers, nominees or other persons (which may include proxy voting services or agents engaged by Tennenbaum);

 

(v)Accumulating Voting Results as set forth below in this policy and transmitting that information to the Compliance Officer in a timely manner; and

 

(vi)Participating in the annual review of the policy function as set forth in this policy.

 

THE PROXY VOTING COORDINATOR MAY, WITH THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE’S APPROVAL, DELEGATE ANY PORTION OR ALL OF ANY ONE OR MORE OF THESE FUNCTIONS TO ONE OR MORE OTHER INDIVIDUALS EMPLOYED BY TENNENBAUM. ANY PORTION OR ALL OF ANY ONE OR MORE OF THESE FUNCTIONS MAY BE PERFORMED BY SERVICE PROVIDERS ENGAGED BY TENNENBAUM.

 

Assembling Voting Information

 

The Proxy Voting Coordinator shall obtain proxy statements and other communications pertaining to proxy voting, together with proxies or other means of voting or giving voting instructions to custodians, brokers, nominees, tabulators or others in a manner to permit voting on relevant issues in a timely manner. Tennenbaum may engage service provides and other third parties to assemble this information, digest, abstract the information where necessary or desirable, and deliver it to the individuals assigned by Tennenbaum to evaluate proxy voting issues.

 

Portfolio Managers

 

The Portfolio Manager responsible for a particular Client is responsible for the timely voting (or determining not to vote in the appropriate cases) of proxies relating to the securities held on behalf of such Client in accordance with this policy. The Portfolio Manager may, to the extent not prohibited by agreement(s) setting forth its contractual obligations to such Client, and consistent with its fiduciary duties, delegate voting responsibilities to one or more other Portfolio Managers or other individuals. Portfolio managers are authorized to consider voting recommendations and other information and analysis provided by service providers (including proxy voting services) engaged by Tennenbaum.

The Proxy Voting Coordinator is responsible for reporting the following information respecting the voting of each proxy to the Compliance Officer, as to each matter relating to a portfolio security held for a Client, considered at a shareholder meeting, and with respect to which the Client was entitled to vote:

 

(i)The name of the issuer of the portfolio security;

 

(ii)The exchange ticker symbol of the portfolio security;

 

(iii)The CUSIP number for the portfolio security;

 

(iv)The shareholder meeting date;

(vi)Whether a vote was cast on the matter;

 

(vii)How the vote was cast on the matter (e.g., for or against the proposal, or abstain, etc.);

 

(viii)Whether a vote was cast for or against management.

 

The foregoing information must be delivered to the Compliance Officer no later than July 31, for each 12 month period ending on the preceding June 30 commencing July 31, 2004 with respect to the period ending June 30, 2004. Tennenbaum may use third party service providers to record, accumulate and deliver the foregoing information to the Compliance Officer. The Proxy Voting Coordinator may, with the Investment Committee’s approval, delegate any portion or all of this function to one or more other individuals employed by Tennenbaum.

 

Communicating Votes

 

The Proxy Voting Coordinator shall communicate decisions on proxy votes to the custodian or to other persons who transmit or record votes on portfolio securities held by or for each Client in a timely manner. The Proxy Voting Coordinator may, with the Investment Committee’s approval, delegate any portion or all of this function to one or more individuals employed by Tennenbaum. Tennenbaum may engage one or more service providers to facilitate timely communication of proxy votes. Tennenbaum is not responsible for voting proxies that are not forwarded on a timely basis. Tennenbaum does not control the setting of record dates, shareholder meeting dates or the timing of distribution of proxy materials and ballots relating to shareholder votes as a general matter.

 

Record of Voting Delegation

 

The Compliance Officer shall maintain a list of all Clients with a specification as to each Client whether or not Tennenbaum is authorized to vote proxies respecting the Client’s portfolio securities.

  

43
 

 

Annual Review of Policy Function

 

The Compliance Officer shall conduct a periodic review, no less often than annually, which shall comprise the following elements:

 

(i)Review samples of the record of voting delegation maintained by the Compliance Officer against Voting Results to determine if Tennenbaum is exercising its authority to vote proxies on portfolio securities held on behalf of the selected Clients;

 

(ii)Request and review voting data to determine if timely communication of proxy votes is reasonably accomplished during the relevant period;

 

(iii)Meet with the Proxy Voting Coordinator to review the voting of proxies, communication of proxy votes, accumulation of Voting Results and the general functioning of this policy; and

 

(iv)Prepare a written report to the Investment Committee respecting the foregoing items and, if requested to do so by the Investment Committee, prepare a written report to the board of any Registered Fund.

 

Disclosure and Comments on Voting

 

Tennenbaum will provide a copy of these policies and procedures to Clients upon request. Clients may also obtain information on how portfolio securities held on their behalf were voted by written request and addressed to Tennenbaum, Proxy Voting Coordinator. It is the policy of Tennenbaum not to comment on specific proxy votes with respect to securities held for a Client in response to inquiries from persons who are not specifically or authorized representative of such Client. The Investment Committee may authorize comments in specific cases, in its discretion.

 

Joining Insurgent or Voting Committees

 

It is the policy of Tennenbaum, for itself and its Clients, not to join any insurgent or voting committee or similar group unless doing so is consistent with the Client’s investment objective. The Investment Committee may, in other circumstances, approve participation in any such committee or group in its discretion, and shall advise the authorized representative of the Client of any such action.

 

Social Issues

 

It is the presumption of this policy that proxies shall not be voted on Social Issues, unless the advisory agreement with the Client provides otherwise. The Investment Committee may approve voting of any security held on behalf of a Client on any Social Issue.

The Compliance Officer may use the Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR database for the items referred to in item (ii) above, and the Investment Committee may authorize the Compliance Officer to engage one or more service providers to perform any portion of this recordkeeping function provided (1) the function is performed in compliance with applicable governmental regulations and (2) each service provider provides a written undertaking to furnish the records to Tennenbaum promptly upon request.

ITEM 8.PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

 

(a)           (1)          The four persons with the most significant responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Registrant’s portfolio are Mark K. Holdsworth, Michael E. Leitner, Howard M. Levkowitz, and Michael E. Tennenbaum (together, the “Portfolio Managers”). The titles, business experience, and length of service of Messrs. Holdsworth, Leitner, Levkowitz, and Tennenbaum are included in the “Directors and Officers” section of the Annual Shareholder Report in Item 1.

  

45
 

  

(a)           (2)           Each of the Portfolio Managers is also primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the portfolios of ten other accounts (the “Other Accounts”) managed by Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (the “Investment Manager”), comprised of five other registered investment companies with combined assets of $2,464.6 million, four other pooled investment vehicles with combined assets of $237.7 million, and one separately managed account with assets of $11.9 million, each as of September 30, 2012, except that Mr. Tennenbaum is not primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of one of the aforementioned other pooled investment vehicles with assets of approximately $205.1 million as of September 30, 2012 nor of the separately managed account. The advisory compensation of each of these accounts, with the exception of the separately managed account, is based in part on the performance of the account during periods where such account meets minimum performance requirements.

 

Material conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with the Portfolio Managers’ management of the Registrant’s investments, on the one hand, and the investments of the Other Accounts, on the other, include the following:

 

The Other Accounts may invest in assets eligible for purchase by the Registrant. The investment policies, fee arrangements and other circumstances of the Registrant may vary from those of the Other Accounts. Accordingly, conflicts may arise regarding the allocation of investments or opportunities among the Registrant and the Other Accounts. In general, and except with respect to any of the Other Accounts that are being wound down or are feeder funds of one of the Other Accounts, the Investment Manager and its affiliates will allocate investment opportunities pro rata among the Registrant and the Other Accounts (assuming the investment satisfies the objectives of each) based on the amount of funds each then has available for such investment and under management by the Investment Manager and its affiliates. Investment opportunities in privately placed securities are subject to allocation procedures adopted by the Board of Directors and the terms of the co-investment exemptive order obtained for the Registrant. In certain cases, investment opportunities may be made other than on a pro rata basis. For example, the Investment Manager may determine that it is appropriate for the Registrant to retain an asset at the same time that one or more of the Other Accounts sells it. The Investment Manager and its affiliates intend to allocate investment opportunities to the Registrant and the Other Accounts in a manner that they believe in their judgment and based upon their fiduciary duties to be appropriate given the investment objectives, size of transaction, investable assets, alternative investments potentially available, prior allocations, liquidity, maturity, expected holding period, diversification, lender covenants and other limitations of the Registrant and the Other Accounts. All of the foregoing procedures could in certain circumstances affect adversely the price paid or received by the Registrant or the availability or size of a particular investment purchased or sold by the Registrant.

  

(a)           (3)           Each of the Portfolio Managers except Mr. Tennenbaum receives a fixed salary from the Investment Manager. Additionally, each of the Portfolio Managers receives fixed periodic distributions from the Investment Manager. Further, each of the Portfolio Managers receives periodic pro rata distributions of any profits of the

 

46
 

 

Investment Manager based on his equity interest therein. Such distributions include performance fees paid to the Investment Manager by the Registrant and the other registered investment company that pays performance fees. Performance allocations from the other registered investment companies that are limited partnerships (the “LPs”) are paid to the general partner of the LPs (the “General Partner”). Performance allocations from the other pooled investment vehicles are paid to the managing member of each such vehicle (together, the “Managing Members”). Each of the Portfolio Managers receives periodic pro rata distributions of any profits of the Managing Members and the General Partner, based on his equity interests therein. Mr. Leitner does not currently have equity interests in the managing members of two of the other pooled investment vehicles. Mr. Tennenbaum receives all distributions from the Investment Manager, the Managing Members, and the General Partner through Tennenbaum & Co., LLC (“TCO”), which holds Mr. Tennenbaum’s equity interest in such entities. Mr. Tennenbaum is the managing member of TCO. Except as otherwise agreed, each of the Portfolio Managers is also eligible for a discretionary bonus paid by the Investment Manager based on an assessment by the Investment Manager of the Portfolio Manager’s relative contribution to the Investment Manager’s overall activities. Neither the Registrant nor any of the Other Accounts reimburse TCO for use of private aircraft and do not pay TCO for the use of any personal property items. The Investment Manager may reimburse TCO for certain limited uses of a private aircraft and the Investment Manager pays TCO a monthly rental fee for the use of certain personal property items.

 

(a)          (4)           The dollar range of equity securities in the Registrant beneficially owned by each of the Portfolio Managers at September 30, 2012 is as follows:

 

Mark K. Holdsworth $10,001-$50,000
Michael E. Leitner none
Howard M. Levkowitz $10,001-$50,000
Michael E. Tennenbaum $100,001-$500,000

  

(b)          Not applicable.

AS ADOPTED BY THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS
JUNE 18, 2004, AUGUST 19, 2004, JULY 18, 2006, SEPTEMBER 29, 2006, AND DECEMBER 22, 2006, RESPECTIVELY

 

LAST AMENDMENT APPROVED BY THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS

FEBRUARY 1, 2008

 

The Funds are committed to conducting business in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations and the highest standards of business ethics, and to full and accurate disclosure — financial and otherwise — in compliance with applicable law. This Code of Ethics, applicable to each Fund’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (or persons performing similar functions) (together, “Senior Officers”), sets forth policies to guide you in the performance of your duties.

 

As a Senior Officer, you must comply with applicable law. You also have a responsibility to conduct yourself in an honest and ethical manner. You have leadership responsibilities that include creating a culture of high ethical standards and a commitment to compliance, maintaining a work environment that encourages the internal reporting of compliance concerns and promptly addressing compliance concerns.

 

This Code of Ethics recognizes that the Senior Officers are subject to certain conflicts of interest inherent in the operation of investment companies, because the Senior Officers currently or may in the future serve as Senior Officers of the Fund, as officers or employees of the Fund’s investment manager or co-manager (together with their respective advisory affiliates, the “Adviser”) and as officers or directors of other registered investment companies and unregistered investment funds advised by the Adviser. This Code of Ethics also recognizes that certain laws and regulations applicable to, and certain policies and procedures adopted by, the Fund or the Adviser govern your conduct in connection with many of the conflict of interest situations that arise in connection with the operations of the Fund, including:

 

 

 
 

 

the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the rules and regulation promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “1940 Act”);

 

the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Advisers Act”);

 

the Consolidated Code of Ethics adopted by the Fund pursuant to Rule 17j-1(c) under the 1940 Act and by the Adviser pursuant to Rule 204A-1(a) Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 that has been reviewed and approved by those directors (the “Directors”) of the Fund that are not “interested persons” of the Fund (the “Independent Directors”) within the meaning of the 1940 Act (the “1940 Act and Advisers Act Code of Ethics”;

 

the policies and procedures adopted by the Fund to address conflict of interest situations, such as procedures under Rule 10f-3 and Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act (collectively, the “Fund Policies”); and

 

the Adviser’s general policies and procedures to address, among other things, conflict of interest situations and related matters (collectively, the “Adviser Policies”).

 

The provisions of the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, the 1940 Act and Advisers Act Code of Ethics, the Fund Policies and the Adviser Policies are referred to herein collectively as the “Additional Conflict Rules.”

 

This Code of Ethics is different from, and is intended to supplement, the Additional Conflict Rules. Accordingly, a violation of the Additional Conflict Rules by a Senior Officer is hereby deemed not to be a violation of this Code of Ethics, unless and until the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”) shall determine that any such violation of the Additional Conflict Rules is also a violation of this Code of Ethics.

 

Senior Officers Should Act Honestly and Candidly

 

Each Senior Officer has a responsibility to the Fund to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and candid. Deceit and subordination of principle are inconsistent with integrity.

 

Each Senior Officer must:

 

act with integrity, including being honest and candid while still maintaining the confidentiality of information where required by law or the Additional Conflict Rules;

 

comply with the laws, rules and regulations that govern the conduct of the Fund’s operations and report any suspected violations thereof in accordance with the section below entitled “Compliance With Code Of Ethics”; and

 

 

 
 

 

adhere to a high standard of business ethics.

 

Conflicts Of Interest

 

A conflict of interest for the purpose of this Code of Ethics occurs when your private interests interfere in any way, or even appear to interfere, with the interests of the Fund.

 

Senior Officers are expected to use objective and unbiased standards when making decisions that affect the Fund, keeping in mind that Senior Officers are subject to certain inherent conflicts of interest because Senior Officers of a Fund also are or may be officers of the Adviser and other funds advised or serviced by the Adviser (as a result of which it is incumbent upon you to be familiar with and to seek to comply with the Additional Conflict Rules).

 

You are required to conduct the business of the Fund in an honest and ethical manner, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and business relationships. When making any investment, accepting any position or benefits, participating in any transaction or business arrangement or otherwise acting in a manner that creates or appears to create a conflict of interest with respect to the Fund where you are receiving a personal benefit, you should act in accordance with the letter and spirit of this Code of Ethics.

 

If you are in doubt as to the application or interpretation of this Code of Ethics to you as a Senior Officer of the Fund, you should make full disclosure of all relevant facts and circumstances to the general counsel of Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (the “General Counsel”) and obtain the approval of the General Counsel prior to taking action.

 

Some conflict of interest situations that should always be approved by the General Counsel, if material, include the following:

 

the receipt of any entertainment or non-nominal gift by the Senior Officer, or a member of his or her family, from any company with which the Fund has current or prospective business dealings (other than the Adviser), unless such entertainment or gift is business related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

 

any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Fund’s service providers, other than the Adviser or a subsidiary of the Fund; or

 

a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Senior Officer’s employment by the Adviser, such as compensation or equity ownership.

  

 
 

 

Disclosures

 

It is the policy of the Fund to make full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in all reports and documents that the Fund files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission or a national securities exchange and in all other public communications made by the Fund. As a Senior Officer, you are required to promote compliance with this policy and to abide by the Fund’s standards, policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with this policy.

 

Each Senior Officer must:

 

familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements applicable to the Fund as well as the business and financial operations of the Fund; and

 

not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Fund to others, including to the Directors, the Fund’s independent auditors, the Fund’s counsel, counsel to the Independent Directors, governmental regulators or self-regulatory organizations.

 

Compliance with Code of Ethics

 

If you know of or suspect a violation of this Code of Ethics or other laws, regulations, policies or procedures applicable to the Fund, you must report that information on a timely basis to the General Counsel. No one will be subject to retaliation because of a good faith report of a suspected violation.

 

The Fund will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code of Ethics, and in reporting on this Code of Ethics:

 

the General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any actual or potential violations reported to him or her;

 

violations and potential violations will be reported to the Board after such investigation;

 

if the Board determines that a violation has occurred, it will take all appropriate disciplinary or preventive action; and

 

appropriate disciplinary or preventive action may include a letter of censure, suspension, dismissal or, in the event of criminal or other serious violations of law, notification of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other appropriate law enforcement authorities.

 

Waivers of Code of Ethics

 

Except as otherwise provided in this Code of Ethics, the General Counsel is responsible for applying this Code of Ethics to specific situations in which questions are

  

 
 

  

presented to the General Counsel and has the authority to interpret this Code of Ethics in any particular situation. The General Counsel shall take all action he or she considers appropriate to investigate any actual or potential violations reported under this Code of Ethics.

 

The General Counsel is authorized to consult, as appropriate, with counsel to the Fund, the Adviser or the Independent Directors, and is encouraged to do so.

 

The Board is responsible for granting waivers of this Code of Ethics, as appropriate. Any changes to or waivers of this Code of Ethics will, to the extent required, be disclosed on Form N-CSR, or otherwise, as provided by Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

 

Recordkeeping

 

The Fund will maintain and preserve for a period of not less than six (6) years from the date an action is taken, the first two (2) years in an easily accessible place, a copy of the information or materials supplied to the Board:

 

that provided the basis for any amendment or waiver to this Code of Ethics; and

 

relating to any violation of this Code of Ethics and sanctions imposed for such violation, together with a written record of the approval or action taken by the Board.

 

Confidentiality

 

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code of Ethics shall be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code of Ethics, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Independent Directors and their counsel, the Fund (including the Board) and its counsel, the Adviser and its counsel and any other advisors, consultants or counsel retained by the Directors, the Independent Directors or any committee of the Directors.

 

Amendments

 

This Code of Ethics may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved by a majority vote of the Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors.

 

No Rights Created

 

This Code of Ethics is a statement of certain fundamental principles, policies and procedures that govern each of the Senior Officers in the conduct of the Fund’s business. It is not intended to and does not create any rights in any employee, investor, supplier, competitor, shareholder or any other person or entity.
