$9.25 (Basic)
The basic net asset value per unit is calculated by dividing the net assets of the Fund, which consists of total assets less the aggregate value of the liabilities, not including issued but unexercised warrants, by the total number of units outstanding.
$9.00 (Diluted)
Diluted net asset value per unit assumes the exercise of all outstanding warrants if the closing price per unit on the valuation date is in excess of the warrant exercise price. Total net assets would be increased by the amount of cash received (all warrants outstanding multiplied by the warrant exercise price, less costs) from exercise of the warrants and total units outstanding would be increased by the number of units issued pursuant to the exercise of the warrants. If the closing price per unit on the valuation date is less than the warrant exercise price, the basic and diluted net asset value per unit will be the same.
