Balanced Strategy ADVENT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC#7BALANCED STRATEGY Investment Philosophy... Focus on Positive Asymmetry We seek superior returns from "theoretically cheap", positively asymmetric balanced convertible securities with attractive risk/reward profiles offering 75% - 85% of the underlying equity upside, while limiting downside risk to approximately 50%. Investment Strategy We identify stable to improving credits through our cash flow, interest coverage and balance sheet analysis. I ■ ADVENT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC ■ ■ Credit analysis is the primary tool in selecting balanced convertibles, which has provided equity-like returns with lower risk over time. Credit focus enhances returns and limits downside risk by gauging probabilities of upgrades, downgrades, early redemptions and corporate event risk; we often detect weakness before those who take an equity approach. We avoid distressed convertibles. A diversified portfolio helps to minimize risk with position sizes typically between 1% -3% with a maximum of 5%. 7#8BALANCED STRATEGY Portfolio Management Team TRACY MAITLAND President, CIO ■ DAVID HULME, ASIP Managing Director ■ Serves as President & Chief Investment Officer of Advent, overseeing all investment activities of the firm Co-Portfolio Manager of the Balanced Convertible Strategy since its inception in 1995 Prior to founding Advent, he was a Director in the Convertible Securities Department at Merrill Lynch.

Portfolio Monitoring Security Selection Equity Fundamentals Credit Quality (Stable to Improving Credits) ADVENT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC Screen Universe Risk Management 11#12BALANCED STRATEGY Step 1: Screen the Convertible Securities Universe Use a convertible valuation model to identify theoretically cheap convertibles with attractive risk/reward profiles offering 75% - 85% of the underlying equity upside, while limiting downside risk to approximately 50%. Step 2: Analyze Credit Quality Extreme focus on the credit quality of potential investment. Seek to identify stable-to-improving trends in cash flow and interest coverage. Confirm that investment value provides worthy downside protection. Step 3: Analyze Equity Fundamentals Examine the equity fundamentals, identifying company and industry dynamics that may act as intermediate catalysts for stock price appreciation including accelerating earnings momentum, changing industry dynamics, new product announcements, and corporate developments including restructuring or takeover and relative valuation. ADVENT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC Step 4: Security Selection and Portfolio Construction Utilize a bottom-up process to identify theoretically cheap convertibles with stable-to-improving fundamentals. Investment ideas are put forward and reviewed in an interactive process between portfolio managers and analysts. Investment meetings are held twice weekly (or on an ad hoc basis) to discuss new issues, analyst recommendations and portfolio investments. Once a recommended security is approved by the portfolio managers, it is added to the Reservoir. Security position sizes are determined in order to achieve the optimal risk/reward. Step 5: Continual Portfolio Monitoring and Risk Management Determine whether each security is maintaining its investment potential and adhere to a sell discipline if the security no longer offers the appropriate risk/reward characteristics.

Characteristics for indexes are calculated by Advent using the holdings and weightings reported by the index provider as of the referenced date. Advent corrects erroneous Delta values reported by the index provider (e.g., a Delta reported as less than zero is set at zero, and a Delta reported as greater than 100 is set at 100). Advent's calculation of Conversion Premium excludes index holdings that have a conversion premium greater than 500, and re-weights the remaining holdings proportionately. Credit quality is a simple average based on S&P, Moody's, and Fitch ratings. Each security's available agency ratings are assigned a numerical value from 1 (AAA/Aaa) to 22 (D). The numerical values are averaged and rounded to the nearest whole integer before being converted into S&P rating nomenclature. 18#19BALANCED STRATEGY CHARACTERISTICS Sector Diversification As of July 31, 2020 Consumer Discretionary Consumer Staples Energy Financials Healthcare Industrials Materials Media Technology Telecommunications Transportation Utilities 1.6% 0.5% 0.7% 1.9% 1.5% 0.7% 1.3% 1.7% 1.7% 1.7% 4.8% 4.7% 4.8% 7.1% 6.4% 4.5% 5.5% 9.3% 14.2% 14.8% 18.0% 18.5% Balanced Representative Portfolio 34.2% 38,2% ☐ICE BofA All U.S. Convertibles (VXAO) ADVENT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC Source: ICE Data Services.

As of 12/31/13, the 3-year ex-post standard deviation for the Composite was 9.87%. The ICE BofA All Convertible Index (VXAO) 3-year ex-post standard deviation was 9.67%.

The ICE BofA All Convertible Index (VXAO) 3-year ex-post standard deviation was 8.17%. As of 12/31/19, the 3-year ex-post standard deviation for the Composite was 8.97%. The ICE BofA All Convertible Index (VXAO) 3-year ex-post standard deviation was 8.28%. 2) The following is the criteria for inclusion in the Advent Balanced Convertible Institutional Composite: Through 3/31/11, all accounts must have had an initial account value of at least $5,000,000. As of 04/01/11, all accounts must have an initial account value of at least $3,000,000. The Composite will be composed of all accounts that meet the criteria to invest in Rule 144A securities. Advent changed its composite criteria to Rule 144A eligible accounts in July of 1997. The decision was made to assure the Composite was more representative of the overall convertible market. The current Composite does not include non-QIB accounts due to their inability to invest in Rule 144A securities. 3) The following pertains to performance results: ADVENT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC All performance is presented in U.S. Dollars. Returns are presented both gross of fees and net of actual management fees paid by the Advent accounts but not expenses paid by the clients. The Balanced Convertible Strategy advertised fee schedule is 0.80% on the first 25 million, 0.65% on the next 25 million, 0.55% on the next 50 million, and 0.50% on over 100 million. The management fees are described in Part 2 Advent's Form ADV. Returns presented on a gross basis are substantially higher than returns presented on a net basis because gross returns do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees and other expenses that would be incurred by a client. Investment advisory fees have a compounding effect in reducing the value of a client portfolio over time. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. 4) Benchmark Information: The Composite is benchmarked to the ICE BofA All Convertible Index. The ICE BofA All Convertible Index is comprised of U.S. Convertible Securities and is a rule-driven index with a goal to create an unbiased proxy for the broad U.S. convertible market. Benchmark returns are not covered by the report of the independent verifiers. Calculation Methodology: The dispersion measure is the asset-weighted standard deviation for accounts in the composite for the entire year.#32DISCLOSURES ADVENT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT: This document is approved for publication by Advent Capital Management, LLC (Advent) and Advent Capital Management UK Limited (Advent UK) and includes information about an Advent investment strategy and/or an Advent-managed separate account or collective investment vehicle (each, an account).

This document is confidential and may not be reproduced (in whole or in part) in any manner without the written permission of Advent. No investment advice, financial advice, tax advice, or legal advice is provided through this document, and no person is authorized to use this document for those purposes. Therefore, this document is not a recommendation to invest in any Advent investment strategy or buy or sell units or interests (interests) in an account. Any discussion or information herein relating to investment processes, portfolio characteristics or other matters relating to Advent or an Advent investment strategy or account is subject to change over time.

Although this document, including any third party information, has been prepared using sources, models and data that Advent believes to be reasonably reliable, its accuracy, completeness or suitability cannot be guaranteed and should not be relied upon as such by any person. Neither Advent nor any of its affiliates is under any obligation to update or keep current the information contained in this document and any opinions expressed in this document are subject to change without notice. Any views contained herein are based on financial, economic, market and other conditions prevailing as of the date of this document. The information contained in this document does not purport to cover all matters that may be relevant for the purposes of considering whether or not to make any prospective investment. Prospective investors should conduct their own investigations in relation to the matters referred to in this document and are recommended to consult their own advisers in relation to such matters. No responsibility or liability is accepted by Advent or any of its officers, agents or advisors as to the accuracy, sufficiency or completeness of any of the information or opinions, or for any errors, omissions or misstatements, negligent or otherwise, contained in or excluded from this document (except to the extent that such liability arises out of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation).

Persons receiving a copy of this document in any jurisdiction may not treat this document as constituting an offer, invitation or solicitation to them to subscribe for interests notwithstanding that, in the relevant jurisdiction, such an offer, invitation or solicitation could lawfully be made to them without compliance with any registration or other legal requirement. Any entity responsible for forwarding this material to other parties takes responsibility for ensuring compliance with applicable securities laws. It is the responsibility of any persons in possession of this document and persons wishing to apply for interests to inform themselves of, and to observe, all applicable laws and regulations of any relevant jurisdiction. Unless otherwise indicated, no regulator or government authority has reviewed this document or the merits of an Advent investment strategy or account. GENERAL RISK WARNINGS: Past performance does not guarantee, and is not a reliable indicator of, future results and the performance of an account may be substantially different. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance shown. The performance of an Advent investment strategy or account may be volatile, and an investor could lose all or a substantial portion of any investment made in an Advent investment strategy or account. No representation is given that an Advent investment strategy or account is suitable for any particular investor. Market conditions can fluctuate and vary widely over time and can result in a loss of portfolio value. It should not be assumed that results for historic portfolio investments or investment strategies will be achieved for other investments in the future. No guarantee or representation is made that any Advent investment strategy or account will achieve its investment objective or have positive returns. Investments may be in a variety of currencies and therefore changes in rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of investments to decrease or increase. Furthermore, the value of investments may be adversely affected by fluctuations in exchange rates between the investor's reference currency and the base currency of the investments. Investments in derivative investments carry certain inherent risks such as the risk of counterparty default and before investing you should ensure you fully understand these risks. Use of leverage may also magnify losses as well as gains. Returns presented on a gross basis are substantially higher than returns presented on a net basis because gross returns do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees and other expenses that would be incurred by a client. The returns of a client investment in any investment strategy will be reduced by the advisory fees and any other expenses it may incur in the management of its account. Advisory fees have a compounded effect in reducing account performance over time. Investing in financial markets involves a substantial degree of risk and there can be no guarantee that the investment objectives of an Advent investment strategy or account will be achieved. Investment losses may occur, and investors could lose some or all of their investment. This document may contain certain forward- looking statements. In some cases forward looking statements can be identified by the use of terms such as "believes", "estimates", "anticipates", "projects", "expects", "intends", "may", "will", "seeks" or "should" or variations thereof, or by discussions of strategy, plans, objectives, goals, future events or intentions. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from any outcomes or results expressed or implied by such forward-thinking statements. The success or achievement of various results, targets and objectives is dependent upon a multitude of factors, many of which are beyond the control of Advent. No representations are made as to the accuracy of such estimates or projections or that such estimates or projections will be realized. Actual events or conditions are unlikely to be consistent with, and may differ materially from, those assumed. Hypothetical performance or results do not reflect actual investment results, are not guarantees of future events, performance or results and are not intended to provide financial planning or investment advice. Actual future events, returns and results may vary completely and adversely from prior opinions and forecasts concerning such events, returns and results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
