4.A. Advisory Firm Description Aristotle Credit Partners, LLC (“Aristotle Credit”) was formed in 2013 and focuses primarily on the investment management of credit related fixed income securities including corporate bonds, senior secured corporate loans, unsecured loans and other credit related investment securities (collectively “corporate debt instruments”) to individuals and institutional clients. Corporate bonds can include bonds known as high yield bonds as well as investment grade bonds. Senior secured corporate loans are sometimes referred to as bank loans and unsecured loans are sometimes referred to collectively as second lien loans. These high yield bonds, bank loans and second lien loans are typically non-investment grade and are considered speculative investments and have greater credit and liquidity risk than investment grade investments. All corporate debt instruments are subject to credit, liquidity, market value, interest rate and other risks. Richard Hollander as Chairman of the Board and Manager controls Aristotle Credit. The largest single owner of Aristotle Credit is Aristotle Capital Management, LLC (which is controlled by Richard Hollander and Howard Gleicher). Aristotle Credit has provided equity interests to other key employees of the firm. 4.B. Types of Advisory Services Aristotle Credit provides investment advisory and management services as a discretionary investment adviser to institutional and retail separate account clients. In general, Aristotle Credit’s investment advice is limited to fixed income securities including corporate debt instruments in high yield, bank loan, investment grade or custom strategies, although from time-to-time Aristotle Credit’s client portfolios will include equity securities received in connection with investments in corporate debt

instruments. 4.C. Client Investment Objectives/Restrictions Aristotle Credit acts as an investment adviser and manages each client’s portfolio according to its investment strategy and objectives as outlined in their respective organizational document, and/or advisory agreement. While clients generally choose Aristotle Credit as an investment manager based on its fixed income and credit expertise, clients may impose reasonable investment restrictions based on their individual investment objectives. 4.D. Wrap Fee Programs Aside from separate account portfolio management services, Aristotle Credit has entered into agreements with wrap program sponsors (“managers”). These are sub-advisory relationships where the manager provides investment supervisory services to its clients, including making recommendations concerning an investment adviser to render specific investment advice with respect to a client's portfolio. The client enters into an agreement with the manager and the manager has a separate master agreement with Aristotle Credit. Aristotle Credit reserves the right to effect transactions through other broker-dealers, but it is expected that most of the transactions will be executed through the manager because part of the manager’s negotiated fee with the client includes brokerage commissions and transaction costs. Aristotle Credit manages the wrap program accounts on a discretionary basis. Aristotle Credit will receive a portion of the wrap fee from the sponsor as an investment adviser to these programs. Aristotle Credit attempts to manage these accounts in the same manner as our non-wrap accounts. 4.E.
