Buybacks: persistent, rule-based, and meaningful GAM has had an open-market buyback authorization since **March 1995**, triggered when the discount is at least **8%** (per annual report). ["Since March 1995"](0001999371-24-002479|0) ["discount to NAV of at least 8%"](0001999371-24-002479|0) For the six months ended 6/30/2025, the company reports: - Shares repurchased: **188,651**. ["repurchased 188,651"](0001999371-25-010497|0) - Cost: **$9,774,849**. ["$9,774,849"](0001999371-25-010497|0) - Average discount to NAV: **13.0%**. ["average discount to net asset value of 13.0%"](0001999371-25-010497|0) And importantly, the board **expanded authorization**: - On **April 16, 2025**, the board authorized repurchase of an **additional 2,000,000 shares** (still using the ≥8% discount rule). ["On April 16, 2025"](0001999371-25-010497|0) ["additional 2,000,000 shares"](0001999371-25-010497|0) ["discount ... at least 8%"](0001999371-25-010497|0) **Why this is a big deal for a CEF:** buying back shares at a discount is typically **NAV-accretive per share** (all else equal), so this program is one of the most direct “tools” management has to address the discount over time. --- ## 5) Governance & incentives — who runs GAM and how they’re paid ### A. Board and leadership structure The proxy statement details the board and notes Spencer Davidson as Chairman, with committees including Audit, Compensation, Executive, Nominating and Pension.

Executive and director compensation (FY2024) The proxy includes a compact compensation table (cash compensation + pension/thrift-related accruals). | Individual | Role | Aggregate compensation (2024) | |---|---|---:| | Jeffrey W.

GAM’s expense ratio is disclosed in Financial Highlights (e.g., 1.35% in 2023; 1.11% in 2024).
