Notes:

· Following the completion of the merger with Karpus Management, Inc. on 1 October 2020, the Company has a "Controlling Shareholder Group", which has agreed to limit their voting rights to the lower of: (i) the number of shares held by them; and (ii) 24.99 per cent. of the votes cast on any resolution by all shareholders. The Controlling Shareholder Group cast votes in excess of 24.99 per cent. of the votes cast on the resolutions by all shareholders and, accordingly, the number of votes stated above as being cast "in favour", "against" and those "withheld" have been reduced accordingly.

· The votes "for" include those giving the Chair of the GM discretion.

· Votes "for" and "against" are expressed as a percentage of the total votes cast (excluding votes withheld).

· The percentages above are rounded to two decimal places.

· A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of votes "for" or "against" a resolution.

· The total number of Ordinary Shares of 1p each in the Company in issue at close of business on 25 June 2021 was 50,679,095.
