Policy No. 01-899-95-18
Issued to: PENNANTPARK INVESTMENT CORPORATION
By National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA.
NEW YORK AMENDATORY ENDORSEMENT - NY STATUTE 3420
Wherever used in this endorsement: 1) we, us, our and Insurer mean the insurance company which issued this policy; 2) you, your, Insured and first Named Insured mean the Named Corporation, Named Entity, Named Organization, Named Sponsor, Named Insured, or Insured stated in the declarations page; 3) other insured(s) means all other persons or entities afforded coverage under the policy; 4) Discovery Period means Discovery Period or Extended Reporting Period, as defined in the policy; and 5) Claim means Claim or Suit as defined in the policy.
It is hereby understood and agreed that the policy is amended as follows:
A. | The following provisions are hereby added to the policy: |
FAILURE TO GIVE NOTICE WITHIN PRESCRIBED TIME:
Failure to give any notice required to be given by this policy, or any policy of which this is a renewal, within the prescribed time shall not invalidate any Claim made against an Insured if:
(a) | it shall be shown not to have been reasonably possible to give notice within the prescribed time and that notice was given as soon as was reasonably possible thereafter; or |
(b) | the failure to provide timely notice has not prejudiced the Insurer. |
Any such Claim shall be deemed to have been first made against the Insured and noticed to the Insurer within the Policy Period or Discovery Period of the policy issued by the Insurer (the Noticed Policy) in which the Insurer received notice of the Claim; provided that the coverage afforded with respect to the Noticed Policy shall be in an amount not greater than the amount of coverage afforded with respect to the Policy Period of the policy issued by the Insurer (the Former Policy) in which the Claim was actually first made against the Insured.

41206 (9/84) | 16 | COPY | ||
Exhibit A
ENDORSEMENT #1 (Continued)
The foregoing sentence may result in (but not be limited to): (1) reducing the limit of liability available for such a Claim to the available limit of liability applicable to the Former Policy; (2) increasing the applicable retention amount to that retention amount applicable to the Former Policy; or (3) reducing or eliminating coverage due to exclusions or other restrictions appearing in the Former Policy but eliminated, in part or in whole, in the Noticed Policy. No coverage shall be afforded under this endorsement if there was not in existence a Former Policy at the time the Claim was actually first made against the Insured.
With respect to subsection (b) above, any such Claim must be noticed during the Policy Period or Discovery Period of a Noticed Policy which is a renewal or extension of the Former Policy.
Nothing in this endorsement shall be construed to provide coverage for a Claim under more than one Policy Period or Discovery Period.
PREJUDICE:
In the event that the Insurer alleges that it was prejudiced as a result of a failure to give notice within the time required under the policy, the burden of proof shall be on:
(a) | the Insurer to prove that it has been prejudiced, if the notice was provided within two years of the time required under the policy; or |
(b) | the Insured to prove that the Insurer has not been prejudiced, if the notice was provided more than two years after the time required under the policy. |
The Insurers rights shall not be deemed prejudiced unless the failure to timely provide notice materially impairs the ability of the Insurer to investigate or defend the Claim.
Notwithstanding the above, an irrebuttable presumption of prejudice shall apply if, prior to the notice, the Insured's liability has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a binding arbitration; or if the Insured has resolved the Claim by settlement or other compromise.
NOTICE TO AGENT:
Notice given by or on behalf of the Insured, or written notice by or on behalf of the injured party or any other claimant, to any licensed agent of the Insurer in the state of New York, with particulars sufficient to identify the Insured, shall be deemed notice to the Insurer.

Exhibit A
ENDORSEMENT #1 (Continued)
INSOLVENCY/BANKRUPTCY OF INSURED:
The insolvency or bankruptcy of the Insured shall not relieve the Insurer of its obligations under this policy as long as all policy requirements are met by Insured, its trustee or receiver in bankruptcy. Should a covered judgment be rendered against an insolvent or bankrupt Insured, the Insurer shall be liable for the amount of such judgment not to exceed the applicable limit of liability under this policy.
B. | The Clause entitled, Action Against Us or Action Against Company is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
No one may bring an action against us unless there has been full compliance with all the terms of this policy and the amount of the Insureds obligation to pay has been finally determined either by:
1. | judgment against the Insured which remains unsatisfied at the expiration of thirty (30) days from the service of notice of entry of the judgment upon the Insured and upon us; or |
2. | written agreement of the Insured, the claimant and us. |
Any person or organization or legal representative thereof who has secured such judgment or written agreement shall thereafter be entitled to recover under this policy to the extent of the insurance afforded by this policy. We may not be impleaded by the Insured or its legal representative in any legal action brought against the Insured by any person or organization.
ALL OTHER TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS REMAIN UNCHANGED.

WHEREAS, at a meeting of the Directors, PennantPark Investment Advisers, LLC (the Adviser), PennantPark Investment Administration, LLC (the Administrator) and PennantPark Floating Rate Ltd. (the Meeting) and after reviewing materials presented at the Meeting;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT:
RESOLVED, that the Corporation, the Adviser and the Administrator each covered as an Insured under a joint fidelity bond (the Bond) having an aggregate coverage of $5 million issued by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA, a reputable fidelity insurance company, against larceny and embezzlement and such other types of losses as are included in standard fidelity bonds, covering the officers and the other employees of the Corporation, the Adviser and the Administrator from time to time and containing such provisions as may be required by the rules promulgated under the 1940 Act;
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proposed form and amount of the Bond considered at the Meeting be, and hereby are, approved after consideration of all factors deemed relevant by the Directors, and separately approved by the Independent Directors, including, but not limited to, the amount of the Bond, the expected value of the assets of the Corporation to which any person covered under the Bond may have access, the estimated amount of the premium for such bond, the type and terms of the arrangements made for the custody and safekeeping of the Corporations assets and the nature of the securities in the Corporations portfolio;

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, hereby agree as follows:

3. Each party shall, within ten days after making any claim under the Bond, provide the other party with written notice of the amount and nature of such claim.

6. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
This agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed by the parties as of the date first set forth above.
