Section I of this Proxy Statement contains information relating to the Charter Amendment. Section II of this Proxy Statement contains information relating to the Term Extension. SectionIII contains additional background information about the Fund. SectionIV contains general information about the Meeting and Shareholder voting.
A: There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives during its remaining term. The Term Extension will expose the Fund to continued investment risk over the extended term after the originally scheduled dissolution date, which the Fund would not be exposed to without a Term Extension. These investment risks include, without limitation, market risk, interest rate risk, leverage risk and risks related to the Funds investments in senior loans and other assets. In addition, while the Adviser believes that the market will view the Term Extension favorably, the Term Extension could have a negative impact on the market price of the Funds shares, which would adversely impact Shareholders seeking to sell their shares prior to the Funds dissolution date.
Board and Shareholders. The Board and the Adviser recommend that the Shareholders approve the Term Extension. The Term Extension requires the Charter Amendment described in Proposal 1 above to also be approved separately.
No changes to the Funds investment objectives, strategies or fundamental policies are being proposed as part of the Charter Amendment and the Term Extension. The Funds investment objectives, strategies and fundamental policies are disclosed in the Funds prospectus and other filings with the SEC, available at www.sec.gov and the Funds website (www.blackstone-gso.com).
Option to Extend Term. Upon mutual written agreement of the Parties prior to the end of the Service Term for such Service, the Parties will extend the Service Term of such Service for up to 180 days (or for such other period specified in Annex B, Annex C or otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing with respect to such Service, but no more than 180 days), on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement (such extension, a Term Extension). In the event a Term Extension for a Service would exceed the Term of this Agreement, the Term of this Agreement will be extended for the duration of the Term Extension. The Parties agree that during the Term Extension for a Service, unless otherwise specified in Annex B or Annex C with respect to such Service, the Fees for such Service will be increased by an additional 25% of the Fee for such Service set forth in Annex B or Annex C, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties prior to the start of such Term Extension for such Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section6.2, there may not be more than one Term Extension per Service.

The term of individual patents depends upon the laws of the countries in which they are obtained. In most countries in which we file, including the United States, the patent term is 20years from the earliest date of filing of anon-provisionalpatent application in the applicable country. However, the patent term of United States patents may, in certain cases, be adjusted for administrative delays by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the USPTO) in examining and granting a patent or may be shortened if a patent is terminally disclaimed over an earlier filed patent. In addition, the term of a patent may be extended as compensation for the patent term lost during the FDA regulatory review process. For example, for drugs that are regulated by the FDA under the Hatch-Waxman Act, it is permitted to extend the term of a patent that covers such drug for up to five years beyond the normal expiration date of the patent. For more information on patent term extensions, see “Business—Government Regulation: The Hatch-Waxman Act—Patent term extension.” In the future, if and when our pharmaceutical product candidates receive FDA approval, we expect to apply for patent term extensions on patents, if issued, covering those product candidates. We intend to seek patent term extensions to any of our patents, if issued, in any jurisdiction where these are available; however, there is no guarantee that the applicable authorities, including the USPTO and FDA, will agree with our assessment of whether such extensions should be granted, and even if granted, the length of such extensions.
