The Proxy Policies have been designed to ensure that client securities are voted in the best interests of clients in accordance with applicable rules. The Proxy Policies are based on the guiding principle of maximization of economic value of client holdings. MIM does not permit voting decisions to be influenced in any manner that is contrary to, or dilutive of, this guiding principle. The Proxy Policies are designed to ensure that material conflicts of interest on the part of MIM or its affiliates do not affect voting decisions on behalf of clients. Based on the guiding principle that all votes made by MIM on behalf of its clients must be made in the best interest of the clients and with the intent to maximize the economic value of clients’ securities holdings, MIM has adopted proxy voting guidelines (the Guidelines) that set forth how it plans to vote on specific matters presented for shareholder vote. MIM has retained Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) recommended proxy voting guidelines to monitor and vote proxies. MIM, however, may deviate from the Guidelines with respect to a particular shareholder vote when such action is consistent with the guiding principle of seeking the maximum economic value to clients, taking into consideration all relevant facts and circumstances at the time of the vote. Prior to deviating from the Guidelines, MIM’s Proxy Committee, which is comprised of senior investment personnel, and legal and compliance personnel, must first determine whether there is any material conflict of interest between MIM (or any of its affiliates) and clients. ISS monitors client accounts and their holdings to be sure that all proxies are received and voted. Should a proxy arise that is not covered by the Guidelines, ISS will be directed to vote in a manner approved MIM’s Proxy Committee. In addition, MIM’s Proxy Committee regularly monitors matters presented for shareholder vote and tracks the voting of the proxies. Engagement MIM ESG Engagement Policy 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 100
