a copy of the fidelity bond providing RENN Global Entrepreneurs Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) with coverage in the event of larceny or embezzlement;
|
|
2.
|
a copy of the resolution approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Fund who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, authorizing the purchase of such bond in the form and amount submitted and the premium and its allocation therefor; and
