Performance Compensation

• No officer-specific performance metrics, targets, payout formulas, or vesting schedules are disclosed in BXMX proxy statements; compensation plans (if any) would be at the Adviser level and are not itemized in fund filings .

Equity Ownership & Alignment

• Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of outstanding shares of each Fund as of January 19, 2024 and February 18, 2025 (individual officer holdings, including Ms. Lazar’s, are not disclosed) .

• Board Member ownership guideline (governance principle): Independent Board Members are expected to invest at least the equivalent of one year of their compensation in funds within the complex; no officer ownership guideline is disclosed .

Employment Terms

• Position: Vice President (Fund officer) with an indefinite term; length of service since 2002 .
• Officers are elected by the Board on an annual basis and serve until successors are elected and qualified .
• Employment agreements, severance, change‑of‑control provisions, non‑compete/non‑solicit, garden leave, or post‑termination consulting arrangements: Not disclosed in BXMX filings .

Investment Implications

• Pay-for-performance linkage at the fund level is not applicable for Ms. Lazar: officers receive no compensation from the Fund, and fund filings provide no officer‑level metrics or equity awards—therefore, traditional compensation alignment or vesting-driven selling pressure signals are not available from BXMX documents .
• Retention risk appears low based on tenure: Ms. Lazar has served as a fund officer since 2002, indicating deep institutional continuity; however, adviser‑level compensation terms are undisclosed, so external incentives cannot be assessed from fund filings .
• Equity alignment: Individual officer ownership is not disclosed; group ownership in BXMX remains under 1%, which limits direct fund‑level alignment or insider trading signals tied to officer share ownership (board‑level guidelines apply to trustees, not officers) .
• Governance and compliance: Fund reports indicate Board Members and officers complied with Section 16(a) filing requirements in the last fiscal year, with no red‑flag disclosures specific to Ms. Lazar .
