whether the Board concurred with the Adviser’s recommendations or add a cross reference to the Board considerations.

Response:
Registrant has added a cross reference to the “Board Considerations of the Reorganization” section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus,
which discusses the Board’s acknowledgment that the Adviser will continue to serve as the investment adviser to the Acquiring Fund

has revised bullet point two of the referenced section to remove the reference to greater administrative efficiencies.

energy infrastructure companies are identified (e.g., an asset or revenue test).

Response:
Registrant has added the following disclosure for the Acquiring Fund:
