Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we understand that such adjustments can be unsettling.The reason for our decision was this: Due to economic conditions our investments suspended and/or delayed distributions, and out of an abundance of caution we chose to act expeditiously and with conviction to convert everyone so that the temporary storm can be weathered and everyone comes out the other side.I understand that this might not be immediately apparent, but we decided to implement these changes after careful consideration and analysis to ensure the long-term stability and sustainability of our business, which we believe will ultimately benefit all our investors.We fully recognize that you might have additional questions, and we are more than willing to address them in the coming weeks.Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
