RMPL- RiverNorth Capital and Income Fund Trading

Effective as of May 22, 2020, the Fund changed its investment strategy from, under normal market conditions, investing at least 80% of its Managed Assets in marketplace lending investments to, under normal market conditions, investing directly or indirectly in credit instruments, including a portfolio of securities of specialty finance and other financial companies that the Fund's Adviser believes offer attractive opportunities for income.

The total annual expense ratio as a percentage of net assets attributable to common shares for the six months ended December 31, 2022 was 4.90% (excluding interest expense on loan payable and dividends to redeemable preferred stock). Including interest expense on loan payable and dividends to redeemable preferred stock, the expense ratio was 9.23% for the six months ended December 31, 2022.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. You can obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end by calling 844.569.4750. Total return measures net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments.

ASSET ALLOCATION as of December 31, 2022^

1. ORGANIZATION

RiverNorth Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) (formerly known as RiverNorth Specialty Finance Corporation) was organized as a Maryland corporation on June 9, 2015, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified closed-end management investment company. The investment adviser to the Fund is RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”).

The Fund is operated as an interval fund under Rule 23c-3 of the 1940 Act. As an interval fund, the Fund has adopted a fundamental policy to conduct quarterly repurchase offers for at least 5% and up to 25% of the outstanding shares at net asset value (“NAV”), subject to certain conditions. The Fund will not otherwise be required to repurchase or redeem shares at the option of a shareholder. It is possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, in which case shareholders may only have a portion of their shares repurchased.

Effective as of June 12, 2019, the Fund listed its common shares on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “RSF” and has ceased continuously offering shares of its common stock through Quasar Distributors, LLC or the Fund.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of current income. Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in credit instruments, including a portfolio of securities of specialty finance and other financial companies that the Adviser believes offer attractive opportunities for income.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures, including the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in the financial statements during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value the Fund ultimately realizes upon sale of the securities. The Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies as codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946 – Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared as of the close of the NYSE on December 31, 2022.

Common Share Valuation: The NAV is generally calculated as of the close of trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) every day the NYSE is open. The NAV is calculated by dividing the value of all of the securities and other assets of the Fund, less the liabilities (including accrued expenses and indebtedness), by the total number of common shares outstanding.

Federal Income Taxes: The Fund makes no provision for federal income tax. The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”). In order to qualify as a RIC, the Fund must, among other things, satisfy income, asset diversification and distribution requirements. As long as it so qualifies, the Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that it distributes annually its investment company taxable income and its “net capital gain”. If the Fund retains any investment company taxable income or net capital gain, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the retained amount at regular corporate tax rates. In addition, if the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC for any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on all of its income and gains at regular corporate tax rates.

As of and during the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.

The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Security Valuation: The Fund’s investments are valued at fair value as further described in Note 3.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing or character of recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassification has no effect on net assets, results of operations or NAVs per share of the Fund.

Investment Income: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected and include amortization/ accretion of premiums or discounts.

Investment Transactions: The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date basis. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes.

Other: The Fund holds certain investments which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon available funds from operations. It is possible for these dividends to exceed the underlying investments’ taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gains are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.

3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including using such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Effective September 8, 2022, and pursuant to the requirements of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (see Note 5), the Board approved updated valuation procedures for the Fund and designated the Adviser as the Fund's valuation designee to make all fair valuation determinations with respect to the Fund's portfolio investments, subject to the Board's oversight.

Small business loans, as an asset class, are not presently traded on a developed secondary market. Therefore, market quotations are not available. Accordingly, all small business loans are fair valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and subject to the Board’s oversight. The Fund's holdings in small business loans are fair valued daily by the Adviser using a discounted cash flow methodology. Discounted cash flow is a valuation technique that provides an estimation of the fair value of an asset based on expectations about cash flows that a small business loan would generate over time. In general, the primary inputs of fair value in the small business loan valuation model are expected future default rates, prepayment rates, and the discount rate applied. A discounted cash flow model begins with an estimation of periodic cash flows expected to be generated over a discrete period of time (generally the time remaining until maturity of the loan). The estimated cash flows for each interval period (generally monthly) are then converted to their present value equivalent using a rate of return appropriate for the risk of achieving projected cash flows. Although not exhaustive, discounted cash flow models factor in borrower level data. Loans made to small businesses may incorporate different factors.

Equity securities, including closed-end funds, special purpose acquisition companies, business development companies and business development company notes, are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its mean price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

The following is a summary of the inputs used at December 31, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities:

The changes of the fair value of investments for which the Fund has used Level 3 inputs to determine the fair value are as follows:

The table below provides additional information about the Level 3 Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2022:

4. ADVISORY FEES, DIRECTOR FEES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

For its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”), the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly management fee computed at the annual rate of 1.25% of the average monthly Managed Assets. “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Fund, including assets attributable to leverage, minus liabilities (other than debt representing leverage and any preferred stock that may be outstanding). In addition to the monthly advisory fee, the Fund pays all other costs and expenses of its operations, including, but not limited to, compensation of its directors (other than those affiliated with the Adviser), custodial expenses, transfer agency and dividend disbursing expenses, legal fees, expenses of independent auditors, expenses of repurchasing shares, expenses of any leverage, expenses of preparing, printing and distributing prospectuses, shareholder reports, notices, proxy statements and reports to governmental agencies, and taxes, if any. In addition, the Adviser has agreed to waive or reimburse expenses of the Fund (other than brokerage fees and commissions; loan servicing fees; borrowing costs such as (i) interest and (ii) dividends on securities sold short; taxes; indirect expenses incurred by the underlying funds in which the Fund may invest; the cost of leverage; and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses at 1.95% of the average daily Managed Assets for that period through October 28, 2023. The Adviser may recover from the Fund expenses reimbursed for three years after the date of the payment or waiver if the Fund’s operating expenses, including the recovered expenses, falls below the expense cap. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Adviser reimbursed $97,813 of expenses. These amounts represent expenses previously waived due to the expense cap. In future periods, the Adviser may recoup fees as follows:

ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS”) provides the Fund with fund administration and fund accounting services. As compensation for its services to the Fund, ALPS receives an annual fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets, subject to certain minimums.

State Street Bank & Trust, Co. and Millennium Trust Company serve as the Fund's custodians.

DST Systems, Inc. (“DST”), the parent company of ALPS, serves as the Transfer Agent to the Fund. Under the Transfer Agency Agreement, DST is responsible for maintaining all shareholder records of the Fund. DST is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (“SS&C”), a publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

The Fund pays no salaries or compensation to its officers or to any interested Director employed by the Adviser, and the Fund has no employees. For their services, the Directors of the Fund who are not employed by the Adviser, receive an annual retainer in the amount of $16,500, and an additional $1,500 for attending each quarterly meeting of the Board. In addition, the lead Independent Director receives $250 annually, the Chair of the Audit Committee receives $500 annually and the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives $250 annually. The Directors employed by the Adviser are also reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at meetings of the Board.

The Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) of the Fund is an employee of the Adviser. The Fund reimburses the Adviser for certain compliance costs related to the Fund, including a portion of the CCO's compensation.

5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND RULE ISSUANCES

In December 2020, the SEC voted to adopt a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 permits fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires a fund to fair value a security when market quotations are not readily available, and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. The SEC also adopted new Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act, which sets forth the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. Finally, the SEC rescinded previously issued guidance on related issues, including the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. Management has assessed the impact of the new rules on the Fund's financial statements and the implementation does not have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

6. CREDIT AGREEMENT

On November 11, 2020, the Fund entered into a prime brokerage agreement for margin financing with Pershing LLC (“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement permits the Fund to borrow funds that are collateralized by assets held in a special custody account held at State Street Bank pursuant to a Special Custody and Pledge Agreement. Borrowings under this arrangement bears interest at the overnight bank funding rate plus 75 basis points for an overnight time.

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Fund’s average borrowings and interest rate under the Credit Agreement were $1,000,000 and 3.68%, respectively. At December 31, 2022, there were borrowings outstanding of $1,000,000 at an interest rate of 5.07%.

7. TAX BASIS INFORMATION

It is the Fund’s policy to meet the requirements of the IRC applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable net income to its shareholders. In addition, the Fund intends to pay distributions as required to avoid imposition of excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Tax Basis of Distributions to Shareholders: The character of distributions made during the period from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gains were recorded by the Fund.

The amounts and characteristics of tax basis of distributions and composition of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) are finalized at fiscal year-end and are not available for the six months ended December 31, 2022.

The tax character of the distributions paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, was as follows:

Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation on Investments: As of December 31, 2022, net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments based on federal tax costs was as follows:

The difference between book and tax basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) for the Fund is primarily attributable to wash sales and preferred securities.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on U.S. tax returns and state tax returns filed since inception of the Fund. No income tax returns are currently under examination. All tax years since commencement of operations remain subject to examination by the tax authorities in the United States. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

8. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Investment transactions for the six months ended December 31, 2022, excluding short-term investments, were as follows:

9. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

At December 31, 2022, the Fund had issued and outstanding 1,656,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, listed under trading symbol RMPL on the NYSE, with a par value of $0.0001 per share and a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared). The Fund issued 1,440,000 and 216,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock on October 25, 2017 and October 30, 2017, respectively. The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a dividend at a rate of 5.875% per year based on the $25.00 liquidation preference before the common stock is entitled to receive any dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) exclusively at the Fund’s option commencing on October 31, 2020. Issuance costs related to Series A Preferred Stock of $1,558,000 are deferred and amortized over the period the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding.

10. INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that may contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under those arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

11. REPURCHASE OFFERS

Shares repurchased through quarterly tender offers during the year ended June 30, 2022 and the six months ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:

For information regarding the repurchase offer with a repurchase offer date of December 5, 2022, see Note 14.

13. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, financial markets in the United States and around the world experienced extreme and in many cases unprecedented volatility and severe losses due to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19, a novel coronavirus. The outbreak was first detected in December 2019 and subsequently spread globally, and since then, the number of cases has fluctuated and new "variants" have been confirmed around the world. The pandemic has resulted in a wide range of social and economic disruptions, including closed borders, voluntary or compelled quarantines of large populations, stressed healthcare systems, reduced or prohibited domestic or international travel, supply chain disruptions, and so-called “stay-at-home” orders throughout much of the United States and many other countries. The fall-out from these disruptions has included the rapid closure of businesses deemed “non-essential” by federal, state, or local governments and rapidly increasing unemployment, as well as greatly reduced liquidity for certain instruments at times. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. Such disruptions may continue for an extended period of time or reoccur in the future to a similar or greater extent. In response, the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve have taken extraordinary actions to support the domestic economy and financial markets. Although vaccines for COVID-19 have become widely available, it is unknown how long circumstances related to the pandemic will persist, whether they will reoccur in the future, whether efforts to support the economy and financial markets will be successful, and what additional implications may follow from the pandemic. The impact of these events and other epidemics or pandemics in the future could adversely affect Fund performance.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On December 5, 2022, the Fund issued a repurchase offer. On January 5, 2023, 168,916 shares were repurchased based on a NAV per share of $17.24 at January 4, 2023.

Subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Fund paid the following distributions:

On February 14, 2023, the Board declared a Series A preferred stock dividend in the amount of $0.36719 per share, payable on February 15, 2023 to preferred shareholders of record on February 2, 2023 with an ex date of February 1, 2023.

Additionally, on January 31, 2023, the Fund announced the final results of its transferable rights offering (the "Offer"). The Offer expired on January 27, 2023 (the "Expiration Date") and the Rights no longer trade on the NYSE. The final subscription price per share was $15.84, which was equal to 90% of the Fund's NAV per share of common stock at the close of trading on the NYSE on January 27, 2023. The Offer resulted in the issuance of 1,047,000 shares of common stock. The gross proceeds of the Offer were $16,584,480.

The Fund has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that no additional items require recognition or disclosure.

The Fund has a dividend reinvestment plan, commonly referred to as an “opt-out” plan, (the “Plan”). Unless the registered owner (“Shareholder”) of shares of common stock (“Shares”) elects to receive cash by contacting DST (the “Plan Administrator”), all dividends declared on Shares will be automatically reinvested in additional Shares by the Plan Administrator for Shareholders in the Fund’s Plan. Such reinvested amounts are included in the Fund’s Managed Assets and, therefore, the fees paid under the Management Fee and will be higher than if such amounts had not been reinvested. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all dividends and other distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to the Shareholder of record (or, if the Shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Administrator as dividend disbursing agent. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Such notice will be effective with respect to a particular dividend or other distribution (together, a “Dividend”). Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on behalf of Shareholders and may re-invest that cash in additional Shares.

The Plan Administrator will open an account for each Shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such Shareholder’s Shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a Distribution payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in Shares. The Shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized Shares from the Fund (“Newly Issued Common Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding Shares on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the NYSE or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any dividend, the closing market price plus estimated brokerage commissions per share is equal to or greater than the NAV per share, the Plan Administrator will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the Fund’s NAV per share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any dividend, the NAV per share is greater than the closing market value plus estimated brokerage commissions (i.e., the Fund’s shares are trading at a discount), the Plan Administrator will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired in open-market purchases.

In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any dividend, the Plan Administrator will have until the last business day before the next date on which the shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such dividend, whichever is sooner, to invest the dividend amount in shares acquired in open-market purchases. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its open-market purchases, the market price per share exceeds the NAV per share, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the NAV of the shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend had been paid in newly issued shares on the dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to open-market purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open-market purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the dividend amount in newly issued shares at the NAV per share at the close of business on the last purchase date.

The Plan Administrator maintains all Shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by Shareholders for tax records. Shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each Shareholder proxy will include those Shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for Shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.

Beneficial owners of Shares who hold their Shares in the name of a broker or nominee should contact the broker or nominee to determine whether and how they may participate in the Plan. In the case of Shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Shares certified from time to time by the record Shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to Shares issued directly by the Fund. The automatic reinvestment of Dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such Dividends. Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of Shares generally are subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as Shareholders who elect to receive their distributions in cash and, for this purpose, Shareholders receiving distributions in the form of Shares will generally be treated as receiving distributions equal to the fair market value of the Shares received through the plan; however, since their cash distributions will be reinvested, those Shareholders will not receive cash with which to pay any applicable taxes on reinvested distributions. Participants that request a sale of Shares through the Plan Administrator are subject to brokerage commissions.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator at (844) 569-4750.

Consideration of the Advisory Agreement

At a meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board” or the “Directors”) of the RiverNorth Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) held on November 8, 2022 and called expressly for that purpose, the Board, including a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Directors”)) considered the renewal of the Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Fund. In its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered information and materials furnished by RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) in advance of and at the Meeting and was afforded the opportunity to request additional information and to ask questions of the Adviser to obtain information that it believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement. The Board received materials compiled by the Adviser and the Fund’s administrator including a copy of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser’s response to a questionnaire regarding the Adviser’s profitability, organization, management and operations, a copy of the Adviser’s Form ADV, the Adviser’s audited financial statements, information regarding the Adviser’s assets under management, an overview of the Fund’s cumulative and annualized returns as compared to the Fund’s benchmark, the Fund’s fact sheet for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, a performance comparison of the Fund to other funds managed by the Adviser, information regarding the Adviser’s compliance programs and a third-party comparison report regarding the Fund’s performance and fees compared to benchmark indices and peer funds. The Board considered the following factors, among others, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Agreement: (i) the investment performance of the Fund and the investment performance of the Adviser, (ii) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, (iii) the experience and qualifications of the personnel providing such services (iv) the costs of the services provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and any of its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, (v) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized by the Fund as it grows, and (vi) whether the Fund’s fee levels reflected the economies of scale to the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders.

The Directors relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Directors’ conclusions were based on an evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Director may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement. Although not meant to be all-inclusive, the following discussion summarizes the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Directors at the Meeting, including during an executive session with their independent legal counsel, in determining to renew the Advisory Agreement.

The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund for the three months, one-year, three-year and five-year periods ended September 30, 2022. These returns were compared to the returns of closed-end funds (“CEFs”) in FUSE’s Opportunistic Credit fund peer group. The Board considered the Fund’s net asset value ("NAV") and market price returns relative to the returns for funds in the FUSE peer group, noting that on a NAV basis, the Fund had outperformed the median of its peer group for the three-month, one-year, three-years and five-years periods ended September 30, 2022. Using market price returns, the Board observed that the Fund had outperformed the median of its peer group for the three-month, one-year and three-years periods ended September 30, 2022. The Directors also reviewed the Fund’s performance relative to other funds managed by the Adviser. The Adviser noted the peer group is not entirely reflective of the Fund due to its unique investment structure. In consideration of each item noted, the Board agreed that the Fund’s performance was adequate.

As to the comparative fees and expenses, the Directors considered the management and the other fees paid by the Fund and compared those to the management and other fees paid by funds in the relative peer group determined by FUSE. The Board noted that the Fund’s annual net expense ratio was higher than the fund peer group median and discussed the impact of the Square loans on expenses.

The Board also noted that the annual management fee for the Fund was above the median paid by the peer group but within the range of the fees paid by the peer funds. The Directors also reviewed the Fund’s fees relative to other funds managed by the Adviser. The Board, including the Independent Directors, determined that the fees were reasonable given the nature of the Fund’s investment strategy, the capabilities of the Adviser, and the nature of the services provided to the Fund.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

As to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund, the Board considered that under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser would, subject to the supervision of the Board, provide or arrange to be provided to the Fund such investment advice as the Adviser, in its discretion, deems advisable and will furnish or arrange to be furnished a continuous investment program for the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s Form ADV, which was previously provided to the Board and that provided details regarding the experience of each of the Adviser’s personnel. The Adviser also provided additional information regarding its experience managing other investment accounts. Based on the foregoing information, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the Adviser had provided quality services and would continue to do so for the Fund.

Profitability and Other Benefits

As to the cost of the services to be provided and to the profits to be realized by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the Adviser’s estimates of its profitability and its financial condition. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s financial statements and noted the Adviser’s financial condition is stable as income from its asset management operations have contributed to higher revenues for the Adviser. The Board acknowledged the Adviser’s management fees were in the same range as those charged to other funds to which the Adviser provides advisory or sub-advisory services. The Board, including the Independent Directors, determined that the Advisory Agreement, with respect to the Fund was not overly profitable to the Adviser and the financial condition of the Adviser was adequate.

The Board noted that the Adviser has no affiliations with the Fund’s transfer agent, fund accountant, custodian, or distribution related service providers utilized by the Fund and therefore does not derive any benefits from the relationships these parties may have with the Fund.

Conclusion

Having requested and received such information from the Adviser as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
