Series A Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Shares

On May 22, 2026, Angel Oak Financial

Strategies Income Term Trust (NYSE: FINS) (the “Fund”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities

Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Fund and the purchaser named therein (the “Securities Purchaser”), in connection

with the issuance and sale of 2,000,000 shares of the Fund’s Series A Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Shares, due April 30, 2031,

liquidation preference of $25.00 (the “MRPS”), in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933,

as amended (the “Preferred Placement”). The Fund received gross proceeds from the sale of the MRPS of $50 million. The description

above is only a summary of the material provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference

to a copy of the Securities Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated by reference and filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on

Form 8-K

As a result of its ownership of

MRPS, the Securities Purchaser has the right to elect two members (the “Preferred Trustees”) of the board of trustees of the

Fund (the “Board”). The Board may designate nominees to serve as Preferred Trustees to be elected by the Securities Purchaser.

The Board has nominated Ira P. Cohen to serve as a Preferred Trustee – a Class III Trustee of the Fund. The Securities Purchaser

also has the right to vote with the holders of common shares of the Fund to elect the balance of the Trustees. The description above is

only a summary of the material provisions of the Supplement to Declaration of Trust Relating to Series A Mandatory Redeemable Preferred

Shares and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Supplement to Declaration of Trust Relating to Series A Mandatory

Redeemable Preferred Shares, which is incorporated by reference and filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

FINS intends to use the proceeds of the Preferred Placement

primarily to refinance the Fund’s existing debt and to make new portfolio investments.

Series C Senior Notes

On May

22, 2026, the Fund entered into a notes purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Fund and the

purchaser named therein (the “Note Purchaser”), in connection with the private offering of the Fund’s 5.364% Series

C Senior Notes, due July 8, 2030 (the “Series C Notes”), in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act

of 1933, as amended (the “Note Placement”). The Series C Notes bear a fixed interest rate of 5.364% per year and mature on

July 8, 2030, unless redeemed, purchased or repaid prior to such date by FINS in accordance with their terms. The Fund will receive gross

proceeds from the sale of Series C Notes of $40 million.

FINS

intends to use the proceeds of the offering of Series C Notes to redeem the Fund’s 2.35% Series A Senior Notes, which mature July

ANGEL OAK FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

INCOME TERM TRUST

Supplement

to Declaration of Trust

Relating to

Series

A Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares

Supplement

to Declaration of Trust (“Supplement”)

made as of May 22, 2026 by the Trustees hereunder.

Whereas,

the Trustees of Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Company”),

may authorize and issue preferred shares of the Company having such terms, rights, preferences, privileges, limitations and restrictions

as the Trustees see fit under Article III, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust made as of June 14, 2018 (the “Original

Declaration of Trust,” as restated, amended or supplemented from time to time, together with this Supplement

is called the “Declaration of Trust”)

without the approval of any holders of shares of beneficial interests in the Company pursuant to Article III, Section 2 of the

Original Declaration of Trust; and

Whereas,

the Trustees have made this Supplement to the Original Declaration of Trust to establish the terms, preferences, rights, voting

powers, privileges, limitations, restrictions and qualifications of the Series A Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares (the “MRP

Shares”) of the Company;

Now,

Therefore the Trustees hereby supplement

the Original Declaration of Trust to authorize the issuance by the Company of its MRP Shares as follows:

MRP

Shares

Designation

Preferred

Shares: (i) 2,000,000 shares of a new series of preferred shares called the Series A Mandatory Redeemable Preferred

Shares are classified and designated as Shares, $.001 par value per share, liquidation preference $25.00 per share.

The initial

Dividend Period for the MRP Shares shall be the period from and including the Original Issue Date thereof to and including

July 31, 2026. Dividends will be paid in accordance with Section 2. Each MRP Share will have a dividend rate equal to the

Applicable Rate, as determined from time to time; and subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof. Each MRP Share

shall have such other preferences, rights, voting powers, privileges, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other

distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption, in addition to those required by applicable law or set

forth in the Original Declaration of Trust, as are set forth herein. The MRP Shares shall constitute a separate series of

Preferred Shares. Each certificate representing MRP Shares shall be substantially in the Form of Exhibit 1.

Subject

to the provisions of Section 3(i) and Section 6 hereof, the Board of Trustees of the Company may, in the future, authorize the

issuance of additional Preferred Shares with the same preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends

and other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption and other terms herein described, except that the

initial Dividend Period, the Applicable Rate for the initial Dividend Period and the initial Dividend Payment Date shall be as

set forth in the Supplement relating to such additional Preferred Shares.

As used

herein, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in Section 12 hereof.

Section

1.     Number of Shares; Ranking.

(a)       The

number of authorized MRP Shares is 2,000,000 shares. No fractional MRP Shares shall be issued.

(b)       Any

MRP Shares which at any time have been redeemed or purchased by the Company shall, after redemption or purchase, be returned to

the status of authorized but unissued Common Shares of the Company, until reclassified by the Board of Trustees.

(c)       The

MRP Shares shall rank (i) on a parity with each other and shares of any other class or series of Preferred Shares as to the payment

of dividends or interest to which the shares are entitled and the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding

up of the affairs of the Company and (ii) senior to Common Shares as to payment of dividends or interest to which the shares are

entitled and the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company.

(d)       No

Holder of MRP Shares shall have, solely by reason of being a Holder, any preemptive right, or, unless otherwise determined by the

Board of Trustees, other right to acquire, purchase or subscribe for any MRP Shares, Common Shares or other securities of the Company

which it may hereafter issue or sell.

Section

2.      Dividends.

(a)       The

Holders of MRP Shares shall be entitled to receive quarterly cumulative cash dividends, when, as and if authorized by the

Board of Trustees and declared by the Company, out of funds legally available therefor, at the rate per annum equal to the

Applicable Rate (or the Default Rate), and no more, payable on the respective dates determined as set forth in paragraph (b)

of this Section 2. Dividends on Outstanding MRP Shares shall accumulate from and including the Original Issue Date.

-2-

(b)       (i)

Dividends shall be payable quarterly on MRP Shares when, as and if authorized by the Board of Trustees and declared by the Company,

beginning on the initial Dividend Payment Date on MRP Shares, and with respect to any Dividend Period thereafter on the first (1st)

Business Day following each Quarterly Dividend Date.

(ii)       Except

as otherwise set forth herein, the Company shall pay an aggregate amount of federal funds or similar same-day funds, equal to the

dividends to be paid to all Holders of MRP Shares on each Dividend Payment Date in accordance with Section 14 of the Securities

Purchase Agreement. The Company shall not be required to establish any reserves for the payment of dividends.

(iii)       Each

dividend on MRP Shares shall be paid on the Dividend Payment Date therefor to the Holders as their names appear on the share register

or share records of the Company at the close of business on the fifth (5th) day prior to the Quarterly Dividend Date (or if such

day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day). Dividends in arrears for any past Dividend Period may be declared

and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to the Holders as their names appear on the share

register or share records of the Company at the close of business on a date, not exceeding 5 days preceding the payment date thereof,

as may be fixed by the Board of Trustees. No interest will be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments which may

be in arrears; provided however that the Dividend Rate may be increased in such circumstances as set forth herein.

(c)       (i)

So long as the MRP Shares are rated on any date no less than “A3” by Moody’s (and no less than an equivalent

of such rating by each Other Rating Agency), the dividend rate on the Outstanding MRP Shares (the “Dividend

Rate”) shall be the Applicable Rate. If the lowest credit rating assigned on any date to the MRP Shares by Moody’s

or any Other Rating Agency is equal to one of the ratings set forth in the table below (or its equivalent by an Other Rating Agency),

the Dividend Rate for the MRP Shares shall be adjusted during such period by adding the respective enhanced dividend amount (which

shall not be cumulative) set opposite such rating (or the equivalent rating from any Other Rating Agency) to the Applicable Rate.

Moody’s

Equivalent

Enhanced

Dividend

Amount

“Baa1”

.50%

“Baa2”

to “Baa3”

2.0%

“Ba1”

or below

4.0%

The Company shall, at all times, use

its reasonable best efforts to cause at least one NRSRO to maintain a current rating on the MRP Shares. If, notwithstanding

the foregoing requirements of this Section 2(c)(i), no NRSRO is rating the Outstanding MRP Shares, the Dividend Rate (so long

as no such rating exists) on the Outstanding MRP Shares shall be equal to the Applicable Rate plus 4.0% unless the Dividend

Rate is the Default Rate, in which case the Dividend Rate shall remain the Default Rate.

-3-

(ii)       Subject

to the cure provisions below, a “Default Period” will

commence on any Dividend Payment Date or any date on which the Company would be required to redeem any MRP Shares regardless of

whether any of the conditions of the Special Proviso in Section 3(a)(iv) were applicable, if the Company fails to pay directly

in accordance with Section 14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, (A) the full amount of any

dividends payable on the Dividend Payment Date (a “Dividend Default”)

or (B) the full amount of any redemption price payable with respect to any redemption required hereunder regardless of whether

any of the conditions of the Special Proviso exists (the “Redemption

Date”) (a “Redemption Default,”

and together with a Dividend Default, is hereinafter referred to as “Default”).

Subject to the cure provisions of Section 2(c)(iii) below, a Default Period with respect to a Dividend Default or a Redemption

Default shall end on the Business Day on which, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, all unpaid dividends, and in the case of a Redemption

Date, any unpaid redemption price, shall have been directly paid in accordance with Section 14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

In the case of a Default, the Dividend Rate for each day during the Default Period will be equal to the Default Rate.

(iii)       No

Default Period with respect to a Dividend Default or Redemption Default (if such default is not solely due to the willful failure

of the Company) shall be deemed to commence if the amount of any dividend or any redemption price due is paid in accordance with

Section 14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement within three Business Days (the “Default

Rate Cure Period”) after the applicable Dividend Payment Date or Redemption Date, together with an amount equal

to the Default Rate applied to the amount of such non-payment based on the actual number of days within the Default Rate Cure Period

divided by 360.

(iv)       The

amount of dividends per share payable on each Dividend Payment Date of each Dividend Period (including the first Dividend Period)

shall be computed by multiplying the Applicable Rate (or the Default Rate) for such Dividend Period by a fraction, the numerator

of which shall be 90 and the denominator of which shall be 360, multiplying the amount so obtained by the liquidation preference

per MRP Share, and rounding the amount so obtained to the nearest cent. Dividends payable on any MRP Shares for any period of less

than a full quarterly Dividend Period, including upon any redemption of such shares on any date other than on a Dividend Payment

Date, shall be computed by multiplying the Applicable Rate (or the Default Rate, if applicable) for such period by a fraction,

the numerator of which shall be the actual number of days in such period and the denominator of which shall be 360, multiplying

the amount so obtained by the liquidation preference per MRP Share, and rounding the amount so obtained to the nearest cent.

(d)       Any

dividend payment made on MRP Shares shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividends due with respect

to such MRP Shares.

-4-

(e)       For

so long as the MRP Shares are Outstanding, except as contemplated herein, the Company will not declare, pay or set apart for

payment any dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend or distribution paid in shares of, or options, warrants or

rights to subscribe for or purchase, Common Shares or other shares of beneficial interests, if any, ranking junior to the MRP

Shares as to dividends or upon liquidation) with respect to Common Shares or any other shares of the Company ranking junior

to or on a parity with the MRP Shares as to dividends or upon liquidation, or call for redemption, redeem, purchase or

otherwise acquire for consideration any Common Shares or any other such junior shares (except by conversion into or exchange

for shares of the Company ranking junior to the MRP Shares as to dividends and upon liquidation) or any such parity shares

(except by conversion into or exchange for shares of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with the MRP Shares as to

dividends and upon liquidation), unless (1) immediately after such transaction the MRP Shares Asset Coverage would be

achieved and the Company would satisfy the MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount and NAV Amount, (2) full cumulative dividends

on the MRP Shares due on or prior to the date of the transaction have been declared and paid, and (3) the Company has

redeemed the full number of MRP Shares required to be redeemed by any provision for mandatory redemption contained in Section

3(a) (without regard to the provisions of the Special Proviso).

Section

3.     Redemption.

(a)       (i)

The Company may, at its option, redeem in whole or in part out of funds legally available therefor, MRP Shares at any time and

from time to time, subject to the notice provisions of Section 3(b) at the sum of (A) the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount (as

defined herein) plus an amount equal to the accumulated but unpaid dividends and other distributions on the MRP Shares (whether

or not earned or declared by the Company, but excluding interest thereon), to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, plus

(B) the Make-Whole Amount (which in no event shall be less than zero); provided,

however, the Company may, at its option redeem the MRP Shares within 30 days prior to the Term Redemption Date, at the

MRP Liquidation Preference Amount plus accumulated but unpaid dividends and distributions thereon (whether or not earned or declared

by the Company, but excluding interest thereon) to, but excluding the date fixed for redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

the Company shall not give a notice of or effect any redemption pursuant to this Section 3(a)(i) unless (in the case of any partial

redemption of MRP Shares), on the date on which the Company intends to give such notice and on the date of redemption, the Company

would satisfy the MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount and the MRP Shares Asset Coverage is greater than or equal to 225% immediately

subsequent to such redemption if such redemption were to occur on such date.

(ii)       In

addition to subparagraph (a)(i) of this Section, if the MRP Shares Asset Coverage is less than or equal to 235%, for any

five Business Days within a ten Business Day period, determined on the basis of values calculated as of a time within 48

hours (not including Sundays or holidays) next preceding the time of such determination within the ten Business Day period,

the Company, upon not less than 12 days nor more than 40 days’ notice as provided below, may redeem the MRP Shares at

the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount plus accumulated but unpaid dividends and distributions thereon (whether or not earned

or declared by the Company, but excluding interest thereon) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, plus a

redemption amount equal to 2% of the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount. The amount of MRP Shares that may be redeemed under

this provision shall not exceed an amount of MRP Shares which results in a MRP Shares Asset Coverage of more than 250% pro

forma for such redemption, determined on the basis of values calculated as of a time within 48 hours (not including Sundays

or holidays) next preceding the time of such determination.

-5-

(iii)       If

the Company (i) fails to maintain on any Valuation Date, the MRP Shares Asset Coverage or the MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount

(any such day, an “Asset Coverage Cure Date”)

or (ii) is not in compliance with the Level 3 Asset Test on the date of entering into an agreement to make an Investment in any

Level 3 Asset immediately after giving effect to such Investment on a pro forma basis (any such day, a “Level

3 Asset Cure Date”), the Company shall, subject to Section 3(a)(iv), redeem the number of MRP Shares provided

below at the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends and distributions thereon

(whether or not earned or declared by the Company, but excluding interest thereon) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption,

plus a redemption amount equal to 1% of the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount. The number of MRP Shares to be redeemed upon the

Company’s failure to maintain the MRP Shares Asset Coverage or the MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount on any Valuation Date

will be equal to the product of (A) the quotient of the number of Outstanding MRP Shares divided by the aggregate number of outstanding

Preferred Shares of the Company (including the MRP Shares) which have an asset coverage test greater than or equal to 225% times

and (B) the minimum number of outstanding shares of Preferred Shares of the Company (including the MRP Shares) the redemption of

which would result in the Company satisfying the MRP Shares Asset Coverage and the MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount as of a

date that is no more than 30 days after an Asset Coverage Cure Date (provided

that, if there is no such number of MRP Shares the redemption of which would have such result, the Company shall, subject

to Section 3(a)(iv), redeem all MRP Shares then Outstanding). For the purpose of measuring compliance with the Level 3 Asset Test,

the value of the proposed Investment shall be the value of such Investment calculated as of the date of the agreement to make such

Investment, and the value of all other assets on any date of determination shall be the value thereof calculated as of the Business

Day immediately prior to the date of the agreement to make such proposed Investment. In the event that the Company is not in compliance

with the Level 3 Asset Test on the date of making an Investment in any Level 3 Asset, the Company shall redeem all MRP Shares then

outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company (i) satisfies the MRP Shares Asset Coverage and MRP Shares Basic Maintenance

Amount as of a date that is no more than 30 days after an Asset Coverage Cure Date before taking into account any redemptions of

Preferred Shares or (ii) regains compliance with the Level 3 Asset Test as of a date that is no more than 30 days after a Level

3 Asset Cure Date, the Company shall not be obligated to redeem any Preferred Shares under this Section 3(a)(iii). The asset coverage

in respect of the MRP Shares provided for in this Section 3(a)(iii) shall be determined on the basis of values calculated as of

a time within 48 hours (not including Sundays or holidays) next preceding the time of such determination.

-6-

(iv)       In

determining the MRP Shares to be redeemed in accordance with the foregoing Section 3(a) in the case of a partial redemption,

the Company shall allocate the number of shares to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 3 pro rata among the Holders of MRP

Shares in proportion to the number of MRP Shares they hold. The Company shall effect any redemption pursuant to subparagraph

(a)(iii) of this Section 3 no later than 40 calendar days after the Asset Coverage Cure Date or the Level 3 Asset Cure Date,

as the case may be (a “Mandatory

Redemption Date”), provided, that

if (1) the Company does not have funds legally available for the redemption of, or (2) is not permitted under any agreement

or instrument consented to by the holders of a 1940 Act Majority of the Outstanding Preferred Shares pursuant to Section

4(f)(iii) or the note purchase agreements relating to the Angel Notes to redeem, or (3) is not otherwise legally permitted to

redeem, the number of MRP Shares which would be required to be redeemed by the Company under subparagraph (a)(iii) of this

Section 3 if sufficient funds were available, together with shares of other Preferred Shares which are subject to mandatory

redemption under provisions similar to those contained in this Section 3 (the foregoing provisions of clauses (1), (2) and

(3) of this proviso being referred to as the “Special

Proviso”), the Company shall redeem those MRP Shares, and other shares of Preferred Shares which it was

unable to redeem, on the earliest practicable date on which the Company will have such funds available and is otherwise not

prohibited from redeeming pursuant to such agreement or instrument consented to by the holders of the 1940 Act Majority of

the Outstanding Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 4(f)(iii) or the note purchase agreements relating to the Angel Notes or

applicable laws, upon notice pursuant to Section 3(b) to record owners of the MRP Shares to be redeemed. The Company will

make a payment of funds to the Holders of the MRP Shares sufficient to redeem the specified number of MRP Shares with respect

to a redemption required under subparagraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on or prior to the

Mandatory Redemption Date.

(v)       The

Company shall redeem all Outstanding MRP Shares on the Term Redemption Date at the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount plus an amount

equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends and distributions thereon (whether or not earned or declared by the Company, but excluding

interest thereon), to, but excluding, the Term Redemption Date.

(vi)       If

(i) the Company fails to maintain on any Valuation Date, the NAV Amount (the “VD

Trigger Date”) or (ii) the Company is required to redeem Common Shares or Preferred Shares on a date and the effect

of such redemption would cause the Company to fail to maintain the NAV Amount (the “CS

Trigger Date,” and together with the VD Trigger Date is a “NAV

to a CS Trigger Date, the date which is concurrent with or prior to the CS Trigger Date.

(vii)       If

the Company has not, on or before September 30, 2030 (the “Extension

Deadline”), (x) permanently extended the limited period of existence of the Company pursuant to Section

3(c) of the Declaration of Trust of the Company from May 31, 2031 to a date which is on or after May 31, 2032 (the

“New Termination Date”)

and (y) delivered a timely notice to the holders of MRP Shares with evidence confirming and documentating the New Termination

Date in a form reasonably satisfactory to such holders (satisfaction of the conditions in clause (x) and (y) are the

“Required Extension

Events”), then for all purposes the Term Redemption Date shall be changed from April 30, 2031 to January 31,

2031. The change in Term Redemption Date to January 31, 2031 shall occur automatically and shall take effect on the day

immediately following the Extension Deadline if the Required Extension Events have not occured.

(b)       In

the event of a redemption pursuant to Section 3(a), the Company will, if required by law or regulation, file a notice of its

intention to redeem with the Commission under Rule 23c-2 under the 1940 Act or any successor provision to the extent

applicable. In addition, the Company shall deliver a notice of redemption (the “Notice

of Redemption”) containing the information set forth below to the Holders of MRP Shares to be redeemed not

less than 20 days (in the case of Section 3(a)(i)), 12 days (in the case of Section 3(a)(ii)), or 3 Business Days (in the

case of Section 3(a)(iii) or 3(a)(vi)) and not more than 40 days prior to the applicable redemption date. Subject to the

provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement regarding notices to the Holders, the Notice of Redemption will be addressed

to the Holders of MRP Shares at their addresses appearing on the share records of the Company. Such Notice of Redemption will

set forth (1) the date fixed for redemption, (2) the number and identity of MRP Shares to be redeemed, (3) the redemption

price (specifying the amount of accumulated dividends to be included therein and the amount of the Make-Whole Amount, if any,

or the redemption premium, if any), (4) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such date

fixed for redemption (so long as redeemed), and (5) the provision of this Supplement under which redemption shall be made. No

defect in the Notice of Redemption or in the transmittal or mailing thereof will affect the validity of the redemption

proceedings, except as required by applicable law.

(c)       Notwithstanding

the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 3, but subject to Section 5(b), no MRP Shares may be redeemed unless all dividends

in arrears on the Outstanding MRP Shares and all shares of beneficial interests of the Company ranking on a parity with the MRP

Shares with respect to payment of dividends or upon liquidation have been or are being contemporaneously paid or set aside for

payment; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not

prevent the purchase or acquisition by the Company of all Outstanding MRP Shares pursuant to the successful completion of an otherwise

lawful purchase, tender or exchange offer made on the same terms to, and accepted by, Holders of all Outstanding MRP Shares.

(d)       Upon

payment in accordance with Section 14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement on or prior to the date fixed for redemption and

the giving of the Notice of Redemption to the Holders of the MRP Shares under paragraph (b) of this Section 3, dividends on

such shares shall cease to accumulate and such shares shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding for any purpose (including,

without limitation, for purposes of calculating whether the Company has maintained the MRP Shares Asset Coverage or met the

MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount), and all rights of the Holder of the shares so called for redemption shall cease and

terminate, except the right of such Holder to receive the redemption price specified herein, but without any interest or

other additional amount.

-8-

(e)       To

the extent that any redemption for which a Notice of Redemption has been given is not made by reason of the Special Proviso, such

redemption shall be made as soon as practicable to the extent such funds become legally available or such redemption is no longer

otherwise prohibited. Failure to redeem MRP Shares shall be deemed to exist when the Company shall have failed, for any reason

whatsoever, to pay in accordance with Section 14 of the Securities Purchase Agreement the redemption price with respect to any

shares for which such Notice of Redemption has been given in accordance with Sections 3(a) and 3(b) hereof. Notwithstanding the

fact that the Company may not have redeemed MRP Shares for which a Notice of Redemption has been given, dividends may be declared

and paid on MRP Shares and shall include those MRP Shares for which Notice of Redemption has been given but for which deposit of

funds has not been made.

(f) [Intentionally omitted.]

(g)       Except

for the provisions described above, nothing contained in these terms of the MRP Shares limits any right of the Company to purchase

or otherwise acquire any MRP Shares at any price, whether higher or lower than the price that would be paid in connection with

an optional or mandatory redemption, so long as, at the time of any such purchase, (1) there is no arrearage in payment of dividends

or redemption of the MRP Shares for which Notice of Redemption has been given, (2) the Company is in compliance with the MRP Shares

Asset Coverage, MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount and the NAV Amount after giving effect to such purchase or acquisition on the

date thereof and (3) an offer to purchase or otherwise acquire any MRP Shares is made by the Company pro rata to the Holders of

all of the Outstanding MRP Shares upon the same terms and conditions with respect to other MRP Shares.

(h)       In

the case of any redemption pursuant to this Section 3, only whole MRP Shares shall be redeemed, and in the event that any provision

of the Declaration of Trust would require redemption of a fractional share, the Company shall be authorized to round up so that

only whole shares are redeemed.

(i)       Notwithstanding

anything herein to the contrary, the Board of Trustees may authorize, create or issue any class or series of shares of

capital shares, including other series of mandatory redeemable preferred shares, ranking on a parity with the MRP Shares with

respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs

of the Company(“Parity Shares”), to the

extent permitted by the 1940 Act, if, (i) upon issuance, the Company would meet the MRP Shares Asset Coverage and the MRP

Shares Basic Maintenance Amount and the NAV Amount and (ii) in the event the holders of such Parity Shares have the benefit

of any rights substantially similar to Sections 2(e), 3(a)(iii), 4(f)(iv) or 4(l) which are additional to or more beneficial

than the rights of the Holders of the MRP Shares under such sections, this Supplement shall be deemed to include such

additional or more beneficial rights for the benefit of the Holders of the MRP Shares. Such rights incorporated herein shall

be terminated when and if terminated with respect to such other Parity Shares and shall be deemed amended or modified

concurrently with any amendment or modification of such other Parity Shares but, in no event, shall any such termination,

amendment or modification affect the remaining rights of the Holders of the MRP Shares.

Section

4.     Voting Rights.

(a)       Except

for matters which do not require the vote of Holders of MRP Shares under the 1940 Act and except as otherwise provided in the Declaration

of Trust or Bylaws, herein or as otherwise required by applicable law, (1) each Holder of MRP Shares shall be entitled to one vote

for each MRP Share held on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company, and (2) the holders of Outstanding Preferred

Shares and Common Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to shareholders; provided,

however, that the holders of Outstanding Preferred Shares shall be entitled, as a class, to the exclusion of the holders

of shares of all other classes of beneficial interests of the Company, to elect two Trustees of the Company at all times. Subject

to the foregoing rights of the Holders of the MRP Shares, the identity and class (if the Board of Trustees is then classified)

of the nominees for such Trustees may be fixed by the Board of Trustees. Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 4, the holders

of Outstanding Common Shares and Outstanding Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class, shall elect the balance of the

Trustees.

(b)       During

any period in which any one or more of the conditions described below shall exist (such period being referred to herein as a “Voting

Period”), the number of Trustees constituting the Board of Trustees shall automatically increase by the smallest

number that, when added to the two Trustees elected exclusively by the holders of Outstanding Preferred Shares would constitute

a majority of the Board of Trustees as so increased by such smallest number; and the holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled,

voting as a class on a one-vote-per-share basis (to the exclusion of the holders of all other securities and classes of shares

of the Company), to elect such smallest number of additional Trustees, together with the two Trustees that such holders are in

any event entitled to elect. A Voting Period shall commence:

(i)       if

at the close of business on any Dividend Payment Date accumulated dividends (whether or not earned or declared) on Preferred Shares

equal to at least two full years’ dividends shall be due and unpaid; or

(ii)       if

at any time holders of any shares of Preferred Shares are entitled under the 1940 Act to elect a majority of the Trustees of the

Company.

If a Voting Period has commenced

pursuant to Section 4(b)(i), the Voting Period shall not end until all such accumulated dividends are paid to the holders of Preferred

Shares or have been otherwise provided for in a manner approved by the holders of the Preferred Shares. Upon the termination of

a Voting Period, the voting rights described in this paragraph (b) of Section 4 shall cease, subject always, however, to the revesting

of such voting rights in the holders of Preferred Shares upon the further occurrence of any of the events described in this paragraph

(b) of Section 4.

-10-

(c)       As

soon as practicable after the accrual of any right of the holders of Preferred Shares to elect additional Trustees as described

in paragraph (b) of this Section 4, the Company shall call a special meeting of such holders, and mail a notice of such special

meeting to such holders, such meeting to be held not less than 10 nor more than 30 calendar days after the date of mailing of such

notice. If the Company fails to send such notice or if a special meeting is not called at the expense of the Company, it may be

called by any such holder on like notice. The record date for determining the holders entitled to notice of and to vote at such

special meeting shall be the close of business on the fifth Business Day preceding the day on which such notice is mailed. At any

such special meeting and at each meeting of holders of Preferred Shares held during a Voting Period at which Trustees are to be

elected, a majority of such holders, voting as a separate class (to the exclusion of the holders of all other securities and classes

of beneficial interests of the Company ), shall be entitled to elect the number of Trustees prescribed in paragraph (b) of this

Section 4 on a one-vote-per-share basis.

(d)       The

terms of office of all persons who are Trustees of the Company at the time of a special meeting of Holders of the MRP Shares and

holders of other Preferred Shares to elect Trustees shall continue, notwithstanding the election at such meeting by the Holders

of the MRP Shares and such holders of other Preferred Shares of the number of Trustees that they are entitled to elect, and the

persons so elected by such holders, together with the two incumbent Trustees elected by such holders and the remaining incumbent

Trustees, shall constitute the duly elected Trustees of the Company.

(e)       Simultaneously

with the termination of a Voting Period, the terms of office of the additional Trustees elected by the Holders of the MRP Shares

and holders of shares of other Preferred Shares pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 4 shall terminate, the number of Trustees

constituting the Board of Trustees shall decrease accordingly, the remaining Trustees shall constitute the Trustees of the Company

and the voting rights of such holders to elect additional Trustees pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 4 shall cease, subject

to the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph (b) of this Section 4.

(f)       So

long as any of the Preferred Shares are Outstanding, the Company will not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority

of the outstanding Preferred Shares determined with reference to a “majority of outstanding voting securities” as that

term is defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act (a “1940

Act Majority”), voting as a separate class:

(i)       amend,

alter or repeal (including by merger, consolidation or otherwise) any of the preferences, rights or powers of such class of Preferred

Shares so as to adversely affect such preferences, rights or powers and will not amend any provision of the Declaration of Trust

or Bylaws in a manner which would restrict or limit the ability of the Company to comply with the terms and provisions of the Securities

Purchase Agreement;

(ii)       amend,

alter or repeal (including by merger, consolidation or otherwise) any of the provisions of the Declaration of Trust or Bylaws if

such amendment, alteration or repeal would adversely affect any privilege, preference, right or power of the MRP Shares or the

Holders thereof;

-11-

(iii)       enter

into, become a party to, be bound by or adopt or allow to exist any agreement or instrument or any evidence of indebtedness which

contains restrictive covenants intended to limit the right of the Company to make dividends, distributions, redemptions or repurchases

of Preferred Shares (each a “Restricted Payment Covenant”)

which are more restrictive than the provisions of Sections 10.4(b) or (c) of the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of July 8, 2021

and Sections 10.4(b) or (c) of the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 22, 2026, each as such Note Purchase Agreements are

in effect on May 22, 2026 (other than Restricted Payment Covenants that are more restrictive as a result of (1) a change in the

laws or regulations or the Rating Agency Guidelines to which the Company is subject or (2) dividends, distributions, redemptions

or repurchases of Preferred Shares being blocked or restricted as a result of the occurrence of any default or event of default

(as such terms are defined under any such agreement or instrument)). For the avoidance of doubt, an amendment to, or adoption of,

a covenant (other than a Restricted Payment Covenant) in any instrument or agreement evidencing indebtedness of the Company (including,

without limitation, the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of July 8, 2021 and the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 22, 2026)

shall not require the affirmative vote of a 1940 Act Majority of the Holders of the Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 4(f)(iii);

(iv)       create,

authorize or issue shares of any class of beneficial interests ranking on a parity with the Preferred Shares with respect to the

payment of dividends or the distribution of assets, or any securities convertible into, or warrants, options or similar rights

to purchase, acquire or receive, such shares of beneficial interests ranking on a parity with the Preferred Shares or reclassify

any authorized shares of beneficial interests of the Company into any shares ranking on a parity with the Preferred Shares (except

that, notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of Section 3(i), the Board of Trustees, without the vote or

consent of the holders of the Preferred Shares may from time to time authorize, create and classify, and the Company, to the extent

permitted by the 1940 Act, may from time to time issue, shares or series of Preferred Shares, including other series of Mandatory

Redeemable Preferred Shares, ranking on a parity with the MRP Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution

of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, and may authorize, reclassify and/or issue

any additional MRP Shares, including shares previously purchased or redeemed by the Company, subject to (i) continuing compliance

by the Company with MRP Shares Asset Coverage requirement and MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount and the NAV Amount and, in all

material respects, the other provisions of this Supplement, and (ii) the payment in full of all accrued and unpaid dividends on

the MRP Shares and the effectuation of all redemptions required in respect of the MRP Shares, in each case, without regard to the

Special Proviso in Section 3(a)(iv) except to the extent the proceeds of the issuance of such Preferred Shares are used to pay

such dividends in full and to effect all such redemptions);

(v) liquidate or dissolve the Company;

-12-

(vi)       create,

incur or suffer to exist, or agree to create, incur or suffer to exist, or consent to cause or permit in the future (upon

the happening of a contingency or otherwise) the creation, incurrence or existence of any material lien, mortgage, pledge,

charge, security interest, security agreement, conditional sale or trust receipt or other material encumbrance of any kind

upon any of the Company’s assets as a whole, except (A) liens the validity of which are being contested in good faith

by appropriate proceedings, (B) liens for taxes that are not then due and payable or that can be paid thereafter without

penalty, (C) liens, pledges, charges, security interests, security agreements or other encumbrances arising in connection

with any indebtedness senior to the MRP Shares or arising in connection with any futures contracts or options thereon, swap

or cap transactions, forward rate transactions, put or call options, currency forwards, repurchases, reverse repurchases,

short sales of securities or other similar transactions, (D) liens, pledges, charges, security interests, security agreements

or other encumbrances arising in connection with any indebtedness permitted under clause (vii) below and (E) liens to secure

payment for services rendered, including, without limitation, services rendered by the Company’s custodian or otherwise

arising pursuant to the Custody Agreement or any future custody agreement;

(vii)       create,

authorize, issue, incur or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money or any direct or indirect guarantee of such indebtedness

for borrowed money or any direct or indirect guarantee of such indebtedness, except the Company may borrow and issue indebtedness

as may be permitted by the Company’s investment restrictions or as may be permitted by the 1940 Act; provided,

however, that transfers of assets by the Company subject

to an obligation to repurchase shall not be deemed to be indebtedness for purposes of this provision to the extent that after any

such transaction the Company meets the MRP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount; or

(viii)       create,

authorize or issue of any shares of beneficial interests of the Company which are senior to the MRP Shares with respect to the

payment of dividends, the making of redemptions, liquidation preference or the distribution of assets of the Company .

(g)       The

affirmative vote of the holders of a 1940 Act Majority of the Outstanding Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, shall be

required to approve any plan of reorganization (as such term is used in the 1940 Act) adversely affecting such shares or any action

requiring a vote of security holders of the Company under Section 13(a) of the 1940 Act.

(h)       The

affirmative vote of the holders of a 1940 Act Majority of the MRP Shares, voting separately as a series, shall be required with

respect to any matter that materially and adversely affects the rights, preferences, or powers of the MRP Shares in a manner different

from that of other separate series of classes of the Company’s shares of beneficial interests. The vote of holders of any

shares described in this Section 4(h) will in each case be in addition to a separate vote of the requisite percentage of Common

Shares and/or Preferred Shares, if any, necessary to authorize the action in question.

-13-

(i)       Unless

otherwise required by law, Holders of MRP Shares shall not have any relative rights or preferences or other special rights other

than those specifically set forth herein. The Holders of MRP Shares shall have no rights to cumulative voting.

(j)       The

foregoing voting provisions will not apply with respect to the MRP Shares if, at or prior to the time when a vote is required,

such shares have been (i) redeemed or (ii) called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect

such redemption.

(k)       Any

vote, amendment, waiver, or consent granted or to be effected by any Holder of MRP Shares that has agreed to transfer such MRP

Shares to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company and has agreed to provide such waiver, vote, amendment or modification as

a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no effect except as to such Holder.

(l)       So

long as any shares of Preferred Shares are Outstanding, the Company will not, without the affirmative vote of (1) the holders of

a 1940 Act Majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, and (2) the holders of a 1940 Act

Majority of the holders of the MRP Shares, voting as a separate series, create, authorize or issue shares of any class or series

of beneficial interests ranking senior to the Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of

assets, or any securities convertible into, or warrants, options or similar rights to purchase, acquire or receive, such shares

of beneficial interests ranking senior to the Preferred Shares or reclassify any authorized shares of beneficial interests of the

Company into any shares ranking senior to the Preferred Shares.

(m)       The

Holders of MRP Shares shall have exclusive voting rights on any Declaration of Trust amendment that would alter the contract rights,

as expressly set in such Declaration of Trust, of only the MRP Shares.

Section

5.     Liquidation Rights.

(a)       Upon

the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Holders of

MRP Shares then Outstanding, together with holders of shares of any Preferred Shares ranking on a parity with the MRP Shares

upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up, shall be entitled to receive and to be paid out of the assets of the Company (or

the proceeds thereof) available for distribution to its shareholders after satisfaction of claims of creditors of the

Company, but before any distribution or payment shall be made in respect of the Common Shares, an amount equal to the

liquidation preference with respect to such shares. The liquidation preference for MRP Shares shall be $25.00 per share, plus

an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not earned or declared but without interest) to

the date payment of such distribution is made in full. No redemption premium (including without limitation any Make-Whole

Amount) shall be paid upon any liquidation even if such redemption premium would be paid upon optional or mandatory

redemption of the relevant shares. In determining whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary

liquidation), by dividend, redemption or otherwise, is permitted under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, amounts that would

be needed, if the Company were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the liquidation preference of the MRP

Shares will not be added to the Company’s total liabilities.

-14-

(b)       If,

upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets of

the Company available for distribution among the holders of all outstanding shares of Preferred Shares shall be insufficient to

permit the payment in full to holders of the amounts to which they are entitled, then the available assets shall be distributed

among the holders of all outstanding shares of Preferred Shares ratably in any distribution of assets according to the respective

amounts which would be payable on all the shares if all amounts thereon were paid in full.

(c)       Upon

the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, until payment in full

is made to the Holders of MRP Shares of the liquidation distribution to which they are entitled, (1) no dividend or other distribution

shall be made to the holders of Common Shares or any other class or series of shares of beneficial interests of the Company ranking

junior to MRP Shares upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up and (2) no purchase, redemption or other acquisition for any consideration

by the Company shall be made in respect of the Common Shares or any other class of shares of beneficial interests of the Company

ranking junior to MRP Shares upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(d)       A

consolidation, reorganization or merger of the Company with or into any company, trust or other legal entity, or a sale, lease

or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in consideration for the issuance of equity securities of

another company, trust of other legal entity shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary

or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 5.

(e)       After

the payment to the holders of Preferred Shares of the full preferential amounts provided for in this Section 5, the holders of

Preferred Shares as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company.

(f)       Subject

to the rights of the holders of shares of any series or class or classes of beneficial interests ranking on a parity with MRP Shares

with respect to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, after payment

shall have been made in full to the Holders of the MRP Shares as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 5, but not prior thereto,

any other series or class or classes of shares ranking junior to MRP Shares with respect to the distribution of assets upon dissolution,

liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company shall, subject to any respective terms and provisions (if any) applying

thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the Holders of the MRP Shares shall

not be entitled to share therein.

Section

6.     Certain Other Restrictions.

If the Rating

Agency Guidelines require the Company to receive a prior written confirmation that certain actions would not impair the

rating then assigned by the Rating Agency to the MRP Shares, then the Company will not engage in such actions unless it has

received written confirmation from each such Rating Agency that such actions would not impair the rating then assigned by

such Rating Agency.

-15-

Section

7.     Compliance Procedures for Asset Maintenance Tests.

For so

long as any MRP Shares are Outstanding and Moody’s or any Other Rating Agency which so requires is then rating such shares,

the Company shall deliver to each rating agency which is then rating MRP Shares and any other party specified in the Rating Agency

Guidelines all certificates that are set forth in the respective Rating Agency Guidelines at such times and containing such information

as set forth in the respective Rating Agency Guidelines.

Section

8.     Notice.

All notices

and communications provided for hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 18 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, except

as otherwise provided in these terms of the MRP Shares or by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act for notices of shareholders’

meetings.

Section

9.     Waiver.

Without

limiting Section 4(k) and Section 4(l) above, to the extent permitted by Delaware law and the 1940 Act, holders of a 1940 Act Majority

of the outstanding shares of Preferred Shares, acting collectively or voting separately from any other series, may by affirmative

vote waive any provision hereof intended for their respective benefit in accordance with such procedures as may from time to time

be established by the Board of Trustees.

Section

10.     Termination.

If no MRP

Shares are Outstanding, all rights and preferences of such shares established and designated hereunder shall cease and terminate,

and all obligations of the Company under these terms of the MRP Shares, shall terminate as to the MRP Shares.

Section

11.     Rating Agency Requests.

(a)       In

the event that the Company has been requested by an NRSRO which is then rating the MRP Shares to take any action with

respect to the MRP Shares to maintain the rating of such NRSRO thereon and such action would require the vote of the Holders

of MRP Shares, if the Company shall give written notice of such request in reasonable detail of such action by the related

NRSRO in writing to each Holder of MRP Shares in accordance with the notice provisions of, and the requirements of the

Purchaser Schedule to the Securities Purchase Agreement, (but only by (i) delivery by nationally recognized courier service

of hard copies and only if such “courier” receives written or email acknowledgement of receipt by such Holder or,

(ii) if the Holder has provided an email address in its notice details in the Purchaser Schedule to, the Securities Purchase

Agreement, delivery by email and only if the Company receives written acknowledgement of receipt by such Holder) (such notice

being referred to as the “Company

Request”), a Holder shall be deemed to have agreed to the matters requested by the Company in such Company

Request if such Holder does not object to the Company Request within 30 days after receipt of the Company Request.

-16-

(b)       Subject

to the provisions of these terms of the MRP Shares, including Section 11(a), the Board of Trustees may, by resolution duly adopted,

these terms of the MRP Shares to reflect any modification hereto which the Board of Trustees is entitled to adopt pursuant to the

terms of Section 11(a) hereof.

the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount of such MRP Share over the amount of such

MRP Liquidation Preference Amount, provided

that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following

terms have the following meanings:

(1)       “Discounted

Value” means, with respect to the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount of any MRP Share, the amount obtained by discounting

all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such MRP Liquidation Preference Amount from their respective scheduled due dates

to the Settlement Date with respect to such MRP Liquidation Preference Amount, in accordance with accepted financial practice and

at a discount factor (applied quarterly on a Quarterly Dividend Date) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such MRP

Liquidation Preference Amount.

Yield” means, with respect to the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount of any MRP Share, .50% over the yield

to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business

“Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently

issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”)

having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such MRP Liquidation Preference Amount as of such Settlement Date.

If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such

implied yield to maturity will be determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in

accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for

the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to

and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment

Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the dividend rate of the applicable MRP Shares.

Yield” means, with respect to the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount of any MRP Shares, the sum of (x) .50% plus (y) the yield

to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been

in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having

a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such MRP Liquidation Preference Amount as of such Settlement Date. If there is no

such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be

determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater

than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than

such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the dividend

rate of the applicable MRP Shares.

(3)       “Remaining

Average Life” means, with respect to any MRP Liquidation Preference Amount, the number of years (calculated to

the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such MRP Liquidation Preference Amount

and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

(4)       “Remaining

Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount of any MRP Share, all payments

of such MRP Liquidation Preference Amount and dividends thereon at the Applicable Rate or the Default Rate (as applicable) as if

they were paid on each Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the Settlement Date with respect to such MRP Liquidation Preference

Amount if no payment of such MRP Liquidation Preference Amount were made prior to the Term Redemption Date, provided

that if such Settlement Date is not a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled dividend

payment will be reduced by the amount of dividends accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date

pursuant to Section 3.

(5)       “Settlement

Date” means, with respect to the MRP Liquidation Preference Amount of any MRP Share, the date on which such MRP

Liquidation Preference Amount is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 3.

Section 1. Authorization

of MRP Shares.

The

Company will authorize the creation, issuance and sale of new capital stock as shares of one new series of preferred shares, $.001

par value per share with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, to be classified and designated as “Series A Mandatory

Redeemable Preferred Shares” (the “MRP

and conditions of redemption set forth in the Supplement to Declaration of Trust relating to Series A Mandatory Redeemable Preferred

fail to tender such MRP Shares to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section

4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all

further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure

by the Company to tender such MRP Shares or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 not having been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s

satisfaction.

(a)

no amendment or waiver of any of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will

be effective as to any Purchaser or holder of MRP Shares unless consented to by such holder of MRP Shares or such Purchaser in

Each holder of MRP Shares shall be entitled to one

vote for each MRP Share held on each matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company.

Section 17.2. Solicitation of Holders

of MRP Shares.

(a)

Solicitation. The Company will provide each holder of a MRP Share with sufficient information, sufficiently far in

advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder of a MRP Share to make an informed and considered decision with

respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Supplement. The Company

will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this

Section 17 to each holder of outstanding MRP Shares promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives

the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of MRP Shares.

(b)

Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of

supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of

MRP Shares as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such holder of MRP Shares of any waiver or amendment

of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of the Supplement unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently

granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of MRP Shares then outstanding

even if such holder of MRP Shares did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

-26-

(c)  Consent

in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent given pursuant to this Section 17 by a holder of any MRP Share that has

transferred or has agreed to transfer its MRP Share to (i) the Company, (ii) any Affiliate or (iii) any other Person

in connection with, or in anticipation of, such other Person acquiring, making a tender offer for or merging with the Company

and/or any of its Affiliates, in each case in connection with such consent, shall be void and of no force or effect except

solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have

been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of MRP Shares that

were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such

holder.

Section

17.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies equally to all

holders of MRP Shares and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any MRP Shares and upon the Company without regard

to whether such certificates representing MRP Shares have been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or

waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived

or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and any holder of any MRP Shares and no delay

in exercising any rights hereunder, under the Supplement or under any MRP Shares shall operate as a waiver of any rights of the

Company or holder of such MRP Shares. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this

Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

Section

17.4. MRP Shares Held by Company, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of all or the requisite

percentage of the aggregate number of MRP Shares then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to

be given under this Agreement or the Supplement, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or therein to be taken

upon the direction of the holders of all or a specified percentage of the aggregate number of MRP Shares then outstanding, MRP

Shares directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

an automatically generated message that such fax could not be delivered to its recipient), (c) by an nationally recognized commercial

delivery service (charges prepaid) or (d) by e-mail if the recipient has provided an e-mail address in its notice details (provided

Purchaser Schedule, or at such other address as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Company in writing,

evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether

or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, electronic copy or

further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Company

or any other holder of MRP Shares from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original,

or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

-28-

Section 20. Confidential

Information.

For

the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential

Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company in connection with

the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or the Supplement that is proprietary in nature and

that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential

information of the Company, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise

known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or

omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such

Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser

under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such

Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential

information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential

Information to (i) its affiliates and its and its affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees (legal or

contractual), agents, partners, attorneys, trustees, limited partners and investors (to the extent such disclosure reasonably

relates to the administration of the investment represented by its MRP Shares or portfolio management), (ii) its auditors,

consultants, service providers, financial advisors, investment managers, investment advisors and other professional advisors

who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (iii) any other

holder of any MRP Shares, (iv) if the holder of a MRP Shares is a trust or fund, to the beneficiaries or beneficial owners of

such trust or fund, (v) any Institutional Investor to which it transfers or pledges or offers to transfer or pledge such MRP

Shares or any part thereof or any participation therein and any beneficiary, agent, custodian or trustee in connection

therewith (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the

provisions of this Section 20) and, in each case, any such Person shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to

such Confidential Information as the Purchasers have under this Section 20, (vi) any Person from which it offers to

purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential

Information to be bound by this Section 20), (vii) any federal, state or other regulatory authority having jurisdiction over

such Purchaser, any recipient of Confidential Information under this Section 20, or in each case, its portfolio or any

transactions relating thereto, (viii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally

recognized rating agency, or (ix) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w)

to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser or its investment managers or

investment advisors or to its investment portfolio or any transactions relating thereto (x) in response to any subpoena or

other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation, arbitration or dispute resolution process to which such Purchaser

is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably

determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights

and remedies under such Purchaser’s MRP Shares, or this Agreement or the Supplement. Each holder of MRP Shares, by its

acceptance of a MRP Share, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20

as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any

holder of a MRP Share of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder

(other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the

Company embodying this Section 20.

In

the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with

the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or the Supplement, any Purchaser or holder of a MRP Share

is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through Intralinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace

or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser

or such holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

-29-

Section 21. Substitution

of Purchaser; Substitution Consent.

Section

21.1. Substitution of Purchaser . Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another

Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute

Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the MRP Shares that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to

the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s

agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect

to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement

(other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the

event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers

to such original Purchaser all of the MRP Shares then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice

of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this

Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such

original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the MRP Shares under this Agreement.

Section

21.2. Consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Purchaser shall substitute any Substitute Purchaser as the

purchaser of the MRP Shares or make any other transfer of the MRP Shares to any other transferee without the prior written consent

of the Company which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if the source of funds to be used by a proposed Substitute Purchaser

or other transferee to purchase any MRP Shares is a source which qualifies under clause (c) or (g) of Section 6.2 hereof; provided,

however, if such Affiliate or other transferee is able to make the representation set forth in Section 6.2(c) without making any

disclosure to the Company in writing, the prior written consent of the Company to such substitution or transfer shall not be required.

Section 22. Miscellaneous.

Section

22.1. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any

of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder

of MRP Shares) whether so expressed or not, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations

hereunder or under the MRP Shares without the prior written consent of each holder. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,

shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted

hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section

22.2. Accounting Terms. All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the

meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations

made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in

accordance with GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants contained in this Agreement or the Supplement,

any election by the Company to measure any financial liability using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards

Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25 – Fair

Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial

Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination

shall be made as if such election had not been made.

-30-

Section

22.3. Appointment of Initial MRP Shares Trustees. The Company and each of the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that,

as of the date hereof, each of Ira Cohen and Cheryl Pate are currently duly elected trustees of the Company and designated by the

Board of Trustees of the Company to serve as trustees for election by the holders of the Preferred Shares of the Company (including

the MRP Shares) pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Supplement.

Section

22.4. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as

to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions

hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate

or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section

22.5. Construction. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as

being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express

contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken

by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken

directly or indirectly by such Person.

Defined terms

herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any

pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,”

“includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without

limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word

“shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or

other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time

amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set

forth herein) and, for purposes of the MRP Shares, shall also include any such MRP Shares issued in substitution therefor

pursuant to Section 13, (b) subject to Section 22.1, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such

Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and

“hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not

to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Sections and Schedules shall be construed to refer to

Sections of, and Schedules to, this Agreement, and (e)  any

reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended,

modified or supplemented from time to time.

-31-

Section

22.6. Counterparts; Electronic Contracting.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall

constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together

signed by all, of the parties hereto. The parties agree to electronic contracting and electronic signatures with respect to this

Agreement and the other related documents (other than the MRP Shares). Delivery of an electronic signature to, or a signed copy

of, this Agreement and such other related documents (other than the MRP Shares) by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission

shall be fully binding on the parties to the same extent as the delivery of the signed originals and shall be admissible into evidence

for all purposes. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and

words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and such other documents (other

than the MRP Shares) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which

shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping

system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures

in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws

based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Purchaser shall request manually signed

counterpart signatures to this Agreement or any such other related document, the Company hereby agrees to use its reasonable endeavors

to provide such manually signed signature pages as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days after

such request or such longer period as the requesting Purchaser and the Company may mutually agree).

Section

22.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties

shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit

the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Section

22.8. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction

of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding

arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the MRP Shares. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company

irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the

jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action

or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been

brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b)  The

Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of

the nature referred to in Section 22.8(a) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to

rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New

York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such

judgment.

-32-

(c)  The

Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of MRP Shares in any suit, action or proceeding of the

nature referred to in Section 22.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered, certified priority or express mail (or

any substantially similar form of mail), with on-line tracking service available, postage prepaid, return receipt or delivery

confirmation requested, or delivering a copy thereof in the manner for delivery of notices specified in Section 18 or at such

other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Company agrees that such

service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or

proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service

upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery

receipt or on-line confirmation of delivery furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial

delivery service.

(d)

Nothing in this Section 22.8 shall affect the right of any holder of MRP Shares to serve process in any manner permitted

by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the MRP Shares may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts

of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(e)

The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect

to this agreement, the mrp shares or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

-33-

ANGEL OAK FINANCIAL STRATEGIES INCOME TERM TRUST 8-K

Exhibit 99.1

Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust

Issues Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Shares and New Notes and Sets Record Date and Date for Annual Meeting of Shareholders

ATLANTA – (May 22, 2026) Angel Oak Financial

Strategies Income Term Trust (NYSE – FINS) (the “Fund”) has closed a $50 million private offering of Series A Mandatorily

Redeemable Preferred Shares, due April 30, 2031 (the “MRPS”). The MRPS are rated A3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

Net proceeds from the offering of the MRPS will be

used primarily to refinance the Fund's existing debt and to make new portfolio investments.

In addition, the Fund has entered into a Notes Purchase

Agreement in connection with a private offering of $40 million of Series C Senior Notes, due July 8, 2030 (“Series C Notes”).

The Series C Notes are rated A1 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

Net proceeds from the offering of the Series C Notes

will be used to redeem the Fund’s 2.35% Series A Senior Notes, which mature July 8, 2026, in accordance with their terms.

The table below summarizes certain key terms of the

Fund’s current leverage:

Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (“Angel Oak”),

the Fund’s investment adviser, anticipates that its strategic use of leverage will be beneficial to income generation due to the

positive interest-rate differential between the interest earned and the cost of leverage. Angel Oak further believes that the MRPS and

Series C Notes will allow the Fund to continue to seek to drive value for Fund shareholders and take advantage of current market conditions

for capital deployment.
