Short Statement:
The amendments adopted in Release No. 33-9089 require additional disclosure regarding compensation policies and corporate governance, and facilitate shareholder communications relating to voting and investment decisions. The increase in the burden associated with Form N-2 is necessary in order to enhance the transparency of director and nominee qualifications, board leadership structure, and the boardÂ’s oversight of risk. The amendments will result in an increase of 615 burden hours and an increase in the cost burden of $738,000 for services of outside professionals.
