EXPENSE SUPPORT AND CONDITIONAL REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT

 

On November 11, 2013, we and our Adviser entered into the Reimbursement Agreement pursuant to which, until December 31, 2013 or a prior date mutually agreed to by both parties, our Adviser, at its sole discretion and in consultation with the Company, will pay to the Company up to 100% of the Company’s Operating Expenses (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement) (“Expense Support Payment”) in any quarter in order for the Company to achieve a reasonable level of expenses in relation to its investment income. Pursuant to the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement, our board of directors may determine that it is appropriate in the future to reimburse our Adviser for all or any portion of Expense Support Payments made pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, which reimbursements would be equal to the unreimbursed Expense Support Payments, or such lesser amount as determined appropriate by our board of directors, following any quarter in which our board of directors determines that the Company has achieved the Operating Expense Objective (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement). Any repayment of Expense Support Payments will be made within a period not to exceed three years from the date each respective Expense Support Payment is made. This supplement updates the Prospectus to include this information where appropriate throughout the Prospectus.
