¹The Fund expects to offer investors limited quarterly liquidity through a tender offer process. Under normal market conditions, the Fund's investment adviser, Ares Capital Management II LLC (the "Adviser") expects to recommend that the Fund repurchase 5% of its outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Fund ("Shares") at their net asset value (NAV). No assurance can be given that such tender offers will be approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. If a tender offer is oversubscribed, investors may be subject to a pro rata reduction in the Shares ultimately repurchased by the Fund unless the Fund increases the size of the tender offer. All terms of each tender offer will be publicly disclosed

²Although the Shares will be registered under the Securities Act, the Shares will be sold only to persons or entities that are both “accredited investors,” as defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and “qualified clients,”as defined in Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act. The qualifications required to invest in the Fund will appear in subscription documents that must be completed by each prospective investor.
