NOTICE OF ADJOURNMENT OF SPECIAL MEETING - PLEASE VOTE YOUR PROXY TODAY

June 12, 2019

Dear Fellow Stockholder:

This important notice is to inform you that because of the lack of votes received that are necessary to constitute a quorum, the Special Meeting has been adjourned until July 8, 2019 at 3:00 p.m., Eastern time, to allow stockholders additional time to exercise their voting rights by submitting their voting instructions. The adjourned meeting will be held at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022. The purpose of the adjourned special meeting is to vote upon a proposal to authorize the Company to sell or otherwise issue shares of its common stock at a price below its then-current net asset value.

This letter is being sent to you because you held shares of the Company on the record date and we have not yet received your vote. In order to avoid further delay of the meeting, please vote today. Your vote is extremely important, no matter how many shares you hold or how you choose to vote.

For the reasons set forth in the proxy statement, dated April 10, 2019, the Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the Proposal. Please vote via the internet or phone as soon as possible or alternatively, please sign, date, and return the enclosed proxy card.

If you need assistance voting your shares, please call D.F. King toll-free at (866) 864-7961 or collect at (212) 269-5550 . On behalf of your Board of Directors, thank you for your cooperation and continued support.

Sincerely,
