Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

Amended and Restated Bylaws

On June 28, 2021, the Fund’s bylaws were amended and restated (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) to remove the requirement that committees of the Fund’s Board of Trustees shall be composed entirely of Trustees who are not Interested Persons, as that term is defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, of the Fund. The Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee each continues to be composed entirely of Trustees who are not Interested Persons of the Fund.

The Amended and Restated Bylaws became effective immediately.
