1 Mr. DiLecce served as an advisory board member to each of BNYMAD, BNYMIF, BNYMIFV, BNYMIFVI, BNYMMIF, BNYMNJMBF, BNYMRGF, BNYMSIF, and BNYMVIF from October 2022 until he was elected to the board of each fund, effective January 1, 2024.

Each board member, except Mses. Bovich, France and Gulley and Mr. DiLecce, has been a BNY Mellon Family of Funds board member for over 20 years. Ms. Bovich has been in the asset management business for 40 years, Ms. France has more than 35 years of strategy, investment banking and corporate finance experience, Ms. Gulley was in the asset management business for more than 30 years prior to her retirement in 2014, and Mr. DiLecce has over 30 years of experience as an accountant with independent registered public accounting firms. Additional information about each board member follows (supplementing the information provided in the table above) that describes some of the specific experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that each board member possesses which the boards believe has prepared them to be effective board members. The boards believe that the significance of each board member's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills is an individual matter (meaning that experience that is important for one board member may not have the same value for another) and that these factors are best evaluated at the board level, with no single board member, or particular factor, being indicative of board effectiveness. However, the boards believe that board members need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with fund management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties; each board believes that its members satisfy this standard. Experience relevant to having this ability may be achieved through a board member's educational background; business, professional training or practice (e.g., medicine, accounting or law), public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member (including the boards for the funds) or as an executive of investment funds, public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and/or other life experiences. The charter for the boards' nominating committees contains certain other factors considered by the committees in identifying and evaluating potential board member nominees. To assist them in evaluating matters under federal and state law, the board members are counseled by their independent legal counsel, who participates in board meetings and interacts with BNYM Investment Adviser, and also may benefit from information provided by BNYM Investment Adviser's counsel; counsel to the funds and to the boards have significant experience advising funds and fund board members. The boards and their committees have the ability to engage other experts as appropriate. The boards evaluate their performance on an annual basis.

Board Members' Compensation

Annual retainer fees and meeting attendance fees are allocated among the funds on the basis of net assets, with the Chairman of the Board, Joseph S. DiMartino, receiving an additional 25% of such compensation. The funds reimburse board members for their expenses. The funds do not have a bonus, pension, profit-sharing or retirement plan. An emeritus board member is entitled to receive an annual retainer of one-half the amount paid as a retainer at the time the board member became emeritus and a per meeting attended fee of one-half the amount paid to board members. The funds' emeritus program was discontinued for current board members in November 2021.

The aggregate amount of fees received from the funds by each current board member and emeritus board member for the funds' last fiscal years, and by all funds in the fund complex (which comprises registered investment companies for which BNYM Investment Adviser or an affiliate of BNYM Investment Adviser serves as investment adviser) for which such person was a board member, advisory board member or emeritus board member during 2023, were as follows:
