The following information was provided to the parties during the June 13, 2022 conference:

to year, and was liquidated earlier this month. I do not believe my investment in DBLFX
constituted a financial interest in any party to this proceeding, nor that it could cause any party to
reasonably question my impartiality in this matter, see, e.g., Jud. Conf. of the U.S., Guide to Jud.
Policy, Vol. 2B, Advisory Op. No. 106 ("an investment in a fund does not convey an ownership
interest in the fund management or investment advisory company"), but nonetheless wished the
parties to be aware of these facts.
