Boulware to serve as Chairman effective January 8, 2021. While Mr. Chapman will consult with Oakline until March 31, 2021 for a smooth transition, Oakline's Senior Vice President Katherine Hawkins will assume the role of Portfolio Manager and Oakline's Vice President/Senior Controller Destiny Poninski will become Treasurer immediately. Officers of the Fund serve subject to annual reappointment. Ms. Hawkins will guide the Fund's portfolio as aided by the leadership of Michael D. Cohen, President of the Fund and Oakline.
