The total amount of cash distributed to all stockholders was limited to 20% of the total distribution to be paid, excluding any cash paid for fractional shares. The remainder of the distribution (approximately 80%) was paid in the form of shares of the Fund\u2019s common stock. The exact distribution of cash and stock to any given stockholder was dependent upon his\/her election as well as elections of other stockholders, subject to the pro-rata limitation.<\/p>\n<p>The price used to calculate the number of shares to be issued in lieu of cash is $4.24595, which was determined using the volume weighted average price per share of the Fund on September 13, 14 and 15, 2022. The total amount of cash and shares distributed under the Plan was as follows:<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;border-collapse: collapse;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\">\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" style=\"max-width:50%;width:50%;min-width:50%;border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;vertical-align: top\">Total Cash<\/td>\n<td style=\"max-width:50%;width:50%;min-width:50%;border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;vertical-align: top\">Total Shares<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" style=\"border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;padding-left: 0;text-align: left;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">$227,688.02<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;vertical-align: top\">214,336.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Stockholders who elected to receive the distribution solely in shares of common stock and stockholders who did not make an election will receive approximately 0.0409 shares of common stock for each share of common stock they owned on the record date of\u00a0August 22, 2022. Holders of approximately 47.84% of the Company\u2019s common stock elected to receive only stock or did not make an election.<\/p>\n<p>Stockholders electing to receive the distribution in all cash will receive cash in the amount of\u00a0$0.06661\u00a0per common share, or approximately 38.37% of the $0.173625 distribution, and $0.10701 shares of common stock, or approximately 61.63% of the total distribution for each share of common stock they owned on the record date of August 22, 2022. Cash in lieu of fractional shares will be issued, if applicable. Total outstanding shares of the Company\u2019s common stock following the distribution will be approximately 6,767,638.<\/p>\n<p>The primary purpose of the Plan is to provide stockholders with a constant, but not guaranteed, fixed minimum rate of distribution each quarter (currently set at the annual rate of 15% of the Fund\u2019s net asset value as determined on June 30, 2022 and payable in quarterly installments). The Fund cannot predict what effect, if any, the Plan will have on the market price of its shares or whether such market price will reflect a greater or lesser discount to net asset value as compared to prior to the adoption of the Plan.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Plan, the Fund will distribute all available investment income to its stockholders, consistent with its investment objective and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the \u201cCode\u201d). <strong>The amount distributed per share is subject to change at the discretion of the Fund\u2019s Board of Directors (\u201cBoard\u201d).<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 If sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly basis, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and\/or return capital to its stockholders in order to maintain its managed distribution level. The Fund is currently not relying on any exemptive relief from Section 19(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the \u201c1940 Act\u201d). The Fund may make additional distributions from time to time, including additional capital gain distributions at the end of the taxable year, if required to meet requirements imposed by the Code and\/or the 1940 Act. Please note that for shareholders enrolled in the Fund\u2019s Dividend Distribution Reinvestment Plan, the distribution will be reinvested in additional shares of the Fund as described in the Plan.<\/p>\n<p>The Fund expects that distributions under the Plan will exceed investment income and available capital gains and thus expects that distributions under the Plan will likely include returns of capital for the foreseeable future. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of a stockholder\u2019s investment is paid back to the stockholder. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund\u2019s investment performance and should not be confused with \u2018yield\u2019 or \u2018income.\u2019 Any such returns of capital will decrease the Fund\u2019s total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Fund\u2019s expense ratio. In addition, in order to maintain the level of distributions called for under its Plan, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.<\/p>\n<p>The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the current distribution and the cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year to date from the following sources: net investment income, net realized capital gains and return of capital. All amounts are expressed per common share.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;border-collapse:
