** On May 10, 2012 RBCCM assigned certain preferred class voting rights on the VMTP to a voting trust (the "Voting Trust") created pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement, dated May 10, 2012 among RBCCM, Lord Securities Corporation, as trustee (the "Voting Trustee") and Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (the "Voting Consultant"), as amended. The Voting Trust provides that with respect to voting or consent matters relating to the voting rights assigned to the Voting Trust, the Voting Consultant analyzes such voting or consent matters and makes a recommendation to the Voting Trustee on voting or consenting. The Voting Trustee is obligated to follow any such recommendations of the Voting Consultant when providing a vote or consent. The 904 shares of VMTP acquired by RBCCM on May 1, 2019, are subject to the foregoing voting arrangement. Voting and consent rights on the VMTP not assigned to the Voting Trust have been retained by RBCCM.
