AGREEMENT CONCERNING

ALLOCATION OF FIDELITY BOND PREMIUMS AND RECOVERIES

THIS AGREEMENT dated March 7, 2024 by and among AMG Funds (“AMG Funds”), a Massachusetts business trust, AMG Funds I (“AMG Funds I”), a Massachusetts business trust, AMG Funds II (“AMG Funds II”), a Massachusetts business trust, AMG Funds III (“AMG Funds III”), a Massachusetts business trust, and AMG Funds IV (“AMG Funds IV”), a Delaware statutory trust, each acting on behalf of its portfolio series (each, a “Series”), and AMG Pantheon Fund, LLC (the “Feeder Fund”), a Delaware limited liability company, AMG Pantheon Master Fund, LLC (the “Master Fund”), a Delaware limited liability company, AMG Pantheon Subsidiary Fund, LLC (the “Corporate Subsidiary”), a Delaware limited liability company, AMG Pantheon Lead Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Lead Fund”), and AMG Pantheon Credit Solutions Fund (the “Credit Solutions Fund”, and together with the Feeder Fund, the Master Fund, the Corporate Subsidiary, and the Lead Fund, the “Pantheon Funds”), a Delaware statutory trust, each acting on its own behalf (AMG Funds, AMG Funds I, AMG Funds II, AMG Funds III, AMG Funds IV and the Pantheon Funds sometimes individually hereinafter referred to as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, AMG Funds LLC (“AMGF”) and AMG Distributors, Inc. (“AMGDI”) (sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Manager”) serve as investment adviser and distributor, respectively, for each Series of AMG Funds, AMG Funds I, AMG Funds II, AMG Funds III and AMG Funds IV (the “Trusts” and, together with the Pantheon Funds, the “Trusts/Funds”) and may from time to time hereafter act in the same capacity with respect to other investment companies; and

WHEREAS, AMGF serves as administrator for the Pantheon Funds and AMGDI serves as distributor for the Feeder Fund, the Master Fund, and the Credit Solutions Fund, and AMGF and AMGDI may from time to time hereafter act in the same respective capacity with respect to other investment companies; and

WHEREAS, the Trusts/Funds have been named as insureds (“Insureds”) under a fidelity bond (the “Bond”) which is intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and

WHEREAS, the Trusts/Funds desire to enter into this Agreement in accordance with the requirements of Rule 17g-1(f) to assure that premiums on the Bond and any recovery received under the Bond are allocated in a fair and equitable manner:

NOW THEREFORE, the Trusts/Funds do hereby agree as follows:

 

1.

Each Trust/Fund shall pay, on behalf of itself and its Series, if any, a percentage of the premiums on the Bond based upon each Party’s proportionate share of the sum of the premiums that would have been paid by the Party if such Bond were purchased separately by the Party, as determined based upon the recommendation received annually from the insurance company for the Bond, subject to acceptance by the Trusts/Funds. The premium paid by each Trust shall be allocated to each Series thereof in such equitable manner as may be

---

determined from time to time by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. From time to time adjustments may be made by mutual agreement of the Trusts/Funds to the portion of the premiums theretofore paid by a Trust/Fund, based on a subsequent change or changes in the net assets of one or more Trusts/Funds or the addition or withdrawal of a Trust/Fund or Series pursuant to this Agreement.

 

2.

In the event that the claims of loss of two or more Parties as Insureds under the Bond are so related that the insurer is entitled to assert that the claims must be aggregated, the following rules shall apply for determining the priorities for satisfaction of the claims under the Bond:

 

A.

First, all claims of each Trust/Fund which have been duly proven and established under the Bond shall be satisfied up to the minimum amount of the Bond required for such Trust/Fund under Rule 17g-1(d); and

 

B.

Second, the remaining amount of recovery, if any, shall then be applied to claims of the Parties in proportion to the total of the unsatisfied amount of the claims of all such Parties.

 

3.

If the Manager in the future serves as an investment adviser, subadviser, distributor or administrator to any other investment company or additional series of shares of the Trusts (an “Additional Series”) and if the Insurer is willing to add the Additional Series as a named insured under the Bond, such Additional Series shall become subject to this Agreement. Such Additional Series shall pay the incremental cost of the increase in premium for the period until the next anniversary date of the Bond, at which time its portion of the Bond will be determined in accordance with paragraph 1. In the event the Insurer is willing to add the Additional Series as an Insured under the Bond with no additional premium, the Parties may, by mutual agreement, reallocate to such Additional Series an equitable portion of the premium previously paid (the “Reallocated Amount”) and the Additional Series shall be obligated to pay to the other Series and/or Parties its pro rata share of the Reallocated Amount as determined based upon the ratio that amount of the premium previously paid by each such Series and/or Party bears to the amount of the premium previously paid by all such Series and/or Parties.

 

4.

This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first above written, and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Bond during the effective period of the Bond as specified therein.

 

5.

The obligations of the Trusts which are organized as Massachusetts business trusts, or any other investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust which may be added pursuant to Section 3 under this Agreement, are not binding upon any of the trustees or holders of shares of beneficial interest of any such trust individually, but bind only the respective trust estate of each.

This Agreement shall supersede all prior agreements entered into among the Trusts/Funds with respect to the same matters.

---

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trusts/Funds have caused this Agreement to be executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.
