1. TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: TSI) (the "Fund") issued to the stockholders of record (the "Record Date Stockholders") at the close of business on February 19, 2026 (the "Record Date") transferable rights (each a "Right" and, collectively, the "Rights") entitling such Record Date Stockholders to subscribe for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Fund (the "Offer") at a discount to the market price of the shares of Common Stock. The Fund distributed to Record Date Stockholders one Right for each share of Common Stock held on the Record Date. Record Date Stockholders were entitled to purchase one new share of Common Stock for every three Rights held (1-for-3); however, any Record Date Stockholder who owned fewer than three shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date was entitled to subscribe for one share of Common Stock. Fractional shares of Common Stock were not issued. (Continued from footnote 1) The subscription period commenced on the Record Date and expired on March 18, 2026. The final subscription price of $4.47 per share of Common Stock was determined based upon the terms of the Offer. Record Date Stockholders who exercised all of their primary subscription Rights (other than those Rights to acquire less than one share of Common Stock that could not be exercised) were eligible for an over-subscription privilege entitling Record Date Stockholders to subscribe for additional shares of Common Stock not purchased pursuant to the primary subscription. The Offer was over-subscribed. The over-subscription requests exceeded the over subscription shares of Common Stock available. Accordingly, the shares of Common Stock subscribed for pursuant to the over-subscription privilege of the Offer were allocated pro rata among those fully exercising record date shareholders who over-subscribed based on the number of shares of Common Stock they owned on Record Date. (Continued from footnoote 2) The number of shares of Common Stock acquired was confirmed to exercising Rights holders on March 27, 2026, following the pro-ration and allocation of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the over-subscription privilege.

subscription Rights financial

"issued to the stockholders of record transferable rights entitling such Record Date Stockholders to subscribe"

Subscription rights are short-term privileges given to existing shareholders to buy additional new shares before the general public, typically at a set price and in proportion to their current holdings. Think of it as getting a coupon for first dibs on extra slices of a pizza so your share of the pie doesn’t shrink; exercising them can be a cheaper way to maintain your ownership and voting power, while ignoring them can reduce your stake and potential future earnings.

Record Date Stockholders financial

"issued to the stockholders of record (the "Record Date Stockholders") at the close of business"

over-subscription privilege financial

"eligible for an over-subscription privilege entitling Record Date Stockholders to subscribe for additional shares"

An over-subscription privilege is a feature of a share offering that lets existing investors request more shares than their initial entitlement, with any extra allocation given only if other investors do not take their full allotment. It matters because it gives shareholders a chance to increase their stake and avoid losing ownership percentage, much like ordering extra slices at a party in case others pass—however, receiving the extras is not guaranteed.

pro rata financial

"shares of Common Stock subscribed for pursuant to the over-subscription privilege were allocated pro rata"

Pro rata means dividing or distributing something proportionally based on a specific factor, such as ownership or contribution. For example, if an investor owns 10% of a company, they would receive 10% of any dividends or benefits allocated. This approach ensures everyone gets their fair share relative to their stake or input, helping investors understand how benefits, costs, or responsibilities are fairly shared.
