The pandemic has had a dramatic impact on Wolo’s supply chain as it has on others in the automotive aftermarket. Approximately 90%
of Wolo’s vendor base is located in China. The pandemic issues impacting ports in the U.S. due to lack of personnel has had a ripple
effect on Chinese suppliers. Containers are slow to be emptied in the U.S., causing a backlog of ships waiting to get into ports and limiting
containers and ships returning to China. The lack of containers and available space on ships has escalated shipping costs by over 300%
from 2020. Costs for raw materials have also started to increase due to availability. Wolo cannot absorb these increases and began passing
on a price increase to customers starting June 1, 2021, although the effective date may be later for some customers. We believe that this
is an industry-wide issue and that it should not put Wolo in an unfavorable pricing position. The spread of COVID-19 has also adversely
impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The pandemic
has resulted, and may continue to result, in a significant disruption of global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access
capital in the future, which could negatively affect our liquidity. The extent to which the pandemic may impact
our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this report, including
the effectiveness of vaccines and other treatments for COVID-19, and other new information that may emerge concerning the severity of
the pandemic and steps taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others. Nevertheless, the pandemic
and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in the global supply chain and other areas
present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See
also “ Risk Factors ” for more information. Management Fees On April 15, 2013, we and our manager entered
into a management services agreement, pursuant to which we are required to pay our manager a quarterly management fee equal to 0.5% of
our adjusted net assets for services performed (which we refer to as the parent management fee). The amount of the parent management fee
with respect to any fiscal quarter is (i) reduced by the aggregate amount of any management fees received by our manager under any offsetting
management services agreements with respect to such fiscal quarter, (ii) reduced (or increased) by the amount of any over-paid (or under-paid)
parent management fees received by (or owed to) our manager as of the end of such fiscal quarter, and (iii) increased by the amount of
any outstanding accrued and unpaid parent management fees. We did not expense any parent management fees for the years ended December

in each case that if the aggregate amount of management fees paid or to be paid by such entities, together with all other management fees
paid or to be paid to our manager under other offsetting management services agreements, exceeds, or is expected to exceed, 9.5% of our
gross income in any fiscal year or the parent management fee in any fiscal quarter, then the management fee to be paid by such entities
shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis determined by reference to the other management fees to be paid to our manager under other offsetting
management services agreements. 80 Each of these entities shall also reimburse our
