Portfolio Update

Fair Oaks Income Fund Limited (the "Company") is pleased to announce that FOIF II LP ("Master Fund II") has entered into binding contracts to acquire, in the primary market, €27.2 million notional of equity notes in Allegro CLO XIII, a new CLO backed by a portfolio of US broadly-syndicated secured loans.

The manager of this CLO's portfolio is AXA Investment Managers, Inc.

This CLO's current target portfolio has a principal value of $500 million across an expected 297 unique bank loan issuers, with an expected weighted average exposure per issuer of approximately 0.37%.

The potential total return for this investment, as estimated by the general partner of Master Fund II is between 15% and 17% per annum (see Note 1).

In addition, Master Fund II has priced a reset of Fair Oaks Loan Funding II, a CLO backed by a portfolio of European broadly-syndicated secured loans. The original purchase of the equity in Fair Oaks Loan Funding II was completed in July 2020 with a low-levered structure, a weighted average coupon for the CLO financing of Euribor + 2.41% and a one-year reinvestment period.

After the reset, Fair Oaks Loan Funding II will benefit from a weighted average coupon of Euribor + 1.68% and an additional 4.5-year investment period. Because BB and B rated notes are being added to the CLO structure, c.€19.5m of the initial €47.0m investment will be returned to Master Fund II when the reset closes in June.

The potential total return based on the current liquidation value of Fair Oaks Loan Funding II, as estimated by the general partner of Master Fund II, is 17% per annum (see Note 1).
