incentive_fee_schedulePursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser also earns an incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”), payable quarterly in arrears, commencing with the first full fiscal quarter after the effectiveness of the Investment Advisory Agreement, based on the Fund’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” (as defined below) for the immediately preceding quarter (or portion thereof). The payment of the Incentive Fee is subject to a quarterly hurdle rate (the “Hurdle Rate”), expressed as a rate of return on the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets during the most recently completed fiscal quarter, of 1.25% (5.0% annualized), subject to a “catch-up” feature (as described below). “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income accrued during the fiscal quarter, minus the Fund’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Investment Advisory Fee, any interest expense borne by the Fund, and any dividends paid on preferred stock issued by the Fund, but excluding the Incentive Fee and any shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes accrued income that the Fund has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The 32 Asset-Based Finance Fund April 30, 2026 (Unaudited) Fund will pay the Adviser the Incentive Fee quarterly in arrears with respect to the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in each fiscal quarter as follows: (i) No Incentive Fee will be payable to the Adviser in any fiscal quarter in which the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Hurdle Rate; (ii) 100% of the dollar amount of the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than or equal to 1.39% in any fiscal quarter (5.56% annualized) will be payable to the Adviser. This portion of the Fund’s Incentive Fee that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than or equal to 1.39% is referred to as the “catch-up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 10% on all of the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 1.39% (5.56% annualized) on the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets in any fiscal quarter; and (iii) 10% of the dollar amount of the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 1.39% (5.56% annualized) on the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets in any fiscal quarter will be payable to the Adviser once the Hurdle Rate and catch-up have been achieved (10% of the Fund’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter will be allocated to the Adviser).Text disclosurePending
