REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Foxby Corp.
2255 Buffalo Road
Rochester, NY 14624
In planning and performing our audits of the financial
statements of Foxby Corp. (the ”Company”), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered their internal control over financial reporting, including
control activities for safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion
on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-CEN, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing
and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management
are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
of a company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting
exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies
in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including
controls for safeguarding securities, which we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above, as of December 31, 2023.
This report is intended solely for the information
and use of management, Shareholders and Board of Directors of Foxby Corp. and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended
to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

or at such other place as may from time to time be designated by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of such meeting.

the powers of the Corporation and that may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such date, time and place as the Board of
Directors, or any duly constituted committee of the Board, shall determine, unless there is no requirement under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), the listing requirements of the stock exchange or market where the
Corporation's stock is listed, or other applicable law that any such meeting be held.
Section 3. Special Meetings.
(a)
General. The Chairman of the Board of Directors, President or Board of Directors may call a special meeting of the stockholders.
Any such special meeting shall be held at such place, date and time as may be designated by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President
or Board
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended September 13, 2023
of Directors, whoever has called the
meeting. Subject to subsection (b) of this Article II, Section 3, a special meeting of stockholders shall also be called by the Secretary
of the Corporation (the “Secretary”) upon the written request of the stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority
of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting.
(b)
Stockholder Requested Special Meetings. (1) Any stockholder of record (a ”stockholder of record”) is hereby
defined for all purposes of these Bylaws as a stockholder whose name and address appears on the Corporation’s stock ledger pursuant
to Article VI hereof) seeking to have stockholders request a special meeting shall, by sending written notice to the Secretary (the “Record
Date Request Notice”“) by registered mail, return receipt requested, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date to
determine the stockholders entitled to request a special meeting (the “Request Record Date”“). The Record Date Request
Notice shall set forth the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at it, shall be signed by one or more stockholders
of record as of the date of signature (or their agents duly authorized in writing), shall bear the date of signature of each such stockholder
(or such agent) and shall set forth all information relating to each such stockholder that must be disclosed in solicitations of proxies
for election of Directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or is otherwise required, in each case
pursuant to Regulation 14A (or any successor provision) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Upon receiving the Record Date Request Notice, the Board of Directors may fix a Request Record Date. The Request Record Date shall not
precede and shall not be more than twenty days after the close of business on the date on which the resolution fixing the Request Record
Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors, within twenty days after the date on which a valid Record Date Request
Notice is received, fails to adopt a resolution fixing the Request Record Date and make a public announcement of such Request Record Date,
the Request Record Date shall be the close of business on the twentieth day after the first date on which the Record Date Request Notice
is received by the Secretary.
(2)
In order for any stockholder to request a special meeting, one or more written requests for a special meeting signed by stockholders
of record (or their agents duly authorized in writing) as of the Request Record Date entitled to cast not less than a majority (the “Special
Meeting Percentage”) of all of the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting (the “Special Meeting Request”) shall be
delivered to the Secretary. In addition, the Special Meeting Request shall set forth the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed
to be acted on at it (which shall be limited to the matters set forth in the Record Date Request Notice received by the Secretary), shall
bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or such agent) signing the Special Meeting Request, shall set forth the name and
address, as they appear in the Corporation’s books, of each stockholder signing such request (or on whose behalf the Special Meeting
Request is signed), the class, series and number of all shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned by each such stockholder, and
the nominee holder for, and number of, shares owned by such stockholder beneficially but not of record, shall be sent to the Secretary
by registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be received by the Secretary within 60 days after the Request Record Date. Any
requesting stockholder may revoke his, her or its request for a special meeting at any time by written revocation delivered to the Secretary.
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended September 13, 2023
(3)
The Secretary shall inform the requesting stockholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing the notice of
meeting (including the Corporation’s proxy materials). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Secretary shall not
be required to call a special meeting upon stockholder request and such meeting shall not be held unless, in addition to the documents
required by paragraph (2) of this Article II, Section 3(b), the Secretary receives payment of such reasonably estimated cost prior to
the mailing of any notice of the meeting.
(4)
In the case of any special meeting called by the Secretary upon the request of stockholders (a “Stockholder Requested Meeting”),
such meeting shall be held at such place, date and time as may be designated by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date
of any Stockholder Requested Meeting shall be not more than 90 days after the record date for such meeting (the “Meeting Record
Date”); and provided further that if the Board of Directors fails to designate, within twenty days after the date that a valid Special
Meeting Request is actually received by the Secretary (the “Delivery Date”), a date and time for a Stockholder Requested Meeting,
then such meeting shall be held at 2:00 p.m. local time on the 90th day after the Meeting Record Date or, if such 90th day is not a Business
Day (as defined below), on the first preceding Business Day; and provided further that in the event that the Board of Directors fails
to designate a place for a Stockholder Requested Meeting within twenty days after the Delivery Date, then such meeting shall be held at
the principal executive office of the Corporation. In fixing a date for any special meeting, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President
or Board of Directors may consider such factors as he, she or it deems relevant within the good faith exercise of business judgment, including,
without limitation, the nature of the matters to be considered, the facts and circumstances surrounding any request for the meeting and
any plan of the Board of Directors to call an annual meeting or a special meeting. In the case of any Stockholder Requested Meeting, if
the Board of Directors fails to fix a Meeting Record Date that is a date within 30 days after the Delivery Date, then the close of business
on the 30th day after the Delivery Date shall be the Meeting Record Date.
(5)
If written revocations of requests for the special meeting have been delivered to the Secretary and the result is that stockholders
of record (or their agents duly authorized in writing), as of the Request Record Date, entitled to cast less than the Special Meeting
Percentage have delivered, and not revoked, requests for a special meeting to the Secretary, the Secretary shall: (i) if the notice of
meeting has not already been mailed, refrain from mailing the notice of the meeting and send to all requesting stockholders who have not
revoked such requests written notice of such revocation of a request for the special meeting, generally without identifying from whom
the revocation was received, or (ii) if the notice of meeting has been mailed, revoke the notice of the meeting at any time before the
commencement of the meeting. Any request for a special meeting received after the occurrence of (i) or (ii) above shall be considered
a new Record Date Request Notice pursuant to Article II, Section 3 hereof.
(6)
The Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or the Board of Directors may appoint independent inspectors of elections
to act as the agent of the Corporation for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of any purported Special
Meeting Request received by the Secretary. For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no such purported request
shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Secretary until the earlier of (i) ten Business Days after receipt by the Secretary of such
purported request and (ii) such date as the independent inspectors
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended September 13, 2023
certify to the Corporation as to whether
the valid requests received by the Secretary represent at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock that would be
entitled to vote at such meeting. Nothing contained in this paragraph (6) shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Corporation
or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any request, whether during or after such ten Business Day period,
or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto,
and the seeking of injunctive relief in such litigation).
(7)
For purposes of these Bylaws, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking
institutions in the State of Maryland are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
Section
4. Notice of Meetings. The Secretary shall cause written or printed notice of the place, date and hour, and, in the case of a
special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, to be given, not less than 10 and not more than 90 days before
the date of the meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote at, or entitled to notice of, such meeting by leaving the same with such
stockholder or at such stockholder’s residence or usual place of business or by mailing it, postage prepaid, and addressed to such
stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation at the time of such mailing, or by transmitting it to the stockholder
by electronic mail to any electronic mail address of the stockholder or by any other electronic means. If mailed, notice shall be deemed
to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder as aforesaid. Notice of any stockholders’ meeting
need not be given to any stockholder who shall sign a written waiver of such notice either before or after the time of such meeting, which
waiver shall be filed with the records of such meeting, or to any stockholder who is present at such meeting in person or by proxy. Notice
of adjournment of a stockholders’ meeting to another time or place need not be given if such time and place are announced at the
meeting. Irregularities in the notice of any meeting to, or the non-receipt of any such notice by, any of the stockholders shall not invalidate
any action otherwise properly taken by or at such meeting.
Section
5. Quorum; Adjournment of Meetings. At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled
to cast one-third of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting shall constitute a quorum, except with respect to any matter which,
under applicable statutes or regulatory requirements, requires approval by a separate vote of one or more classes or series of stock,
in which case the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast one-third of all the votes entitled to be cast by each
class or series entitled to vote as a separate class or series on the matter shall constitute a quorum; but this section shall not affect
any requirement under any statute or the charter (the “Charter”) of the Corporation for the vote necessary for the adoption
of any measure. A stockholders’ meeting may be postponed before it is convened by making a public announcement (as defined in Section
12(c)(3) of this Article II) of such postponement prior to the meeting. Notice of the date, time and place to which the meeting is postponed
shall be given not less than ten days prior to such date and otherwise in the manner set forth in Section 4 of this Article II. A stockholders’
meeting may be adjourned after it is convened by the chairman of the meeting one or more times for any reason, including the failure of
a quorum to be present at the meeting or the failure of any proposal to receive sufficient votes for approval without further notice to
a date not more than 120 days after the original record date. A stockholders’
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended September 13, 2023
meeting may be adjourned or recessed
by the chairman of the meeting as to one or more proposals regardless of whether action has been taken on other matters. No notice of
adjournment or recess of a meeting to another time or place need be given to stockholders if such time and place are announced at the
meeting at which the adjournment or recess is taken. Any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting may be transacted
at any postponed, adjourned, or recessed meeting. If, after the postponement or adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the postponed
or adjourned meeting, the secretary shall give notice of the postponed or adjourned meeting to stockholders of record entitled to vote
at such meeting. Any irregularities in the notice of any meeting or the nonreceipt of any such notice by any of the stockholders shall
not invalidate any action otherwise properly taken at any such meeting.
The stockholders
present either in person or by proxy, at a meeting which has been duly called and convened, may continue to transact business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
Section
6. Voting. Unless otherwise provided by the Charter, each outstanding share or fraction thereof, regardless of class, shall be
entitled to one vote or fraction thereof, as the case may be, on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders. A majority of the
votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any matter which may
properly come before the meeting, unless more than a majority of votes cast is required by statute or the Charter or these Bylaws of the
Corporation. The vote upon any question shall be by ballot whenever requested by any person entitled to vote, but, unless such a request
is made, voting may be conducted in any way approved by the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included for purposes of
determining whether a quorum is present at a Shareholders’ meeting but will not be treated as votes cast. Abstentions and broker
non-votes, therefore, will have no effect on proposals which require a plurality or majority of votes cast for approval, but will have
the same effect as a vote “against” on proposals requiring a majority or other specified percentage of outstanding voting
securities for approval.
Section 7. Inspectors.
The Board of Directors, in advance of any meeting, may, but need not, appoint one or more individual inspectors or one or more entities
that designate individuals as inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If an inspector or inspectors are not so appointed,
the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector fails to appear
or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board of Directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the chairman
of the meeting. Each inspector so appointed shall first subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector
at such election with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability, and shall after the election make a certificate of
the result of the vote taken. No candidate for the office of Director shall be appointed such inspector.
The inspectors, if
any, shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence
of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions
arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such acts
as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. Each such report shall be in writing and signed by him
or her or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended September 13, 2023
acting at such meeting. If there is
more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The determination of such inspector or inspectors
as to the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum,
the form, validity and effect of proxies or ballots, all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, the count
or tabulation of all votes, ballots or consents, and all other matters upon which their certificate would be based shall be deemed final
and conclusive, and such inspectors’ determinations shall not be subject to challenge or review prior to or following the issuance
of their certificate, unless such challenge or review is approved by the vote of a majority of the Board of Directors.
Section 8.
Stockholders Entitled to Vote. If the Board of Directors sets a record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with these Bylaws, each stockholder of the Corporation shall be
entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, each share of stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation on such record date.
If no record date has been fixed, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting
of stockholders shall be the later of the close of business on the day on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the thirtieth day before
the meeting, or, if notice is waived by all stockholders, at the close of business on the tenth day next preceding the day on which the
meeting is held.
Section
9. Validity of Proxies, Ballots. In an uncontested matter or election of directors, a stockholder may cast the votes entitled
to be cast by the shares of stock owned of record by the stockholder in person or by proxy executed by the stockholder or the stockholder’s
duly authorized agent in any manner not prohibited by law. In a contested matter or election of directors, a stockholder may cast the
votes entitled to be cast by the shares of stock owned of record by the stockholder in person or by written proxy signed by the stockholder.
Unless a proxy provides otherwise, it shall not be valid more than eleven months after its date. At every meeting of the stockholders,
all proxies shall be received and taken in charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the Secretary of the Corporation
or the person acting as secretary of the meeting before being voted, who shall decide all questions touching the qualification of voters,
the validity of the proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector of election has been appointed for the meeting
in which event such inspector of election shall decide all such questions.
Section 10.
Organization and Conduct of Stockholders’ Meetings. Every meeting of stockholders shall be conducted by an individual appointed
by the Board of Directors to be chairman of the meeting or, in the absence of such appointment, by the Chairman of the Board of Directors
or, in the case of a vacancy in the office or absence or unwillingness of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, by one of the following
officers present at the meeting: the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, if there be one, the President, the officers of the Corporation
in their order of rank and seniority, or, in the absence of such officers, a chairman chosen by the stockholders by the vote of a majority
of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or by proxy. The Secretary, or, in the Secretary’s absence, an Assistant Secretary,
or in the absence of both the Secretary and Assistant Secretaries, a person appointed by the Board of Directors or, in the absence of
such appointment, a person appointed by the chairman of the meeting shall act as secretary. In the event that the Secretary presides at
a meeting of the stockholders, an Assistant Secretary, or in the absence of Assistant Secretaries, an individual appointed by the Board
of Directors or the chairman
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended September 13, 2023
of the meeting, shall record the minutes
of the meeting. The order of business and all other matters of procedure at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined by the chairman
of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting may prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and take such action as, in the discretion
of such chairman, are appropriate, including, without limitation, (a) restricting admission to the time set for the commencement of the
meeting; (b) limiting attendance at the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized proxies, and other
such individuals as the chairman of the meeting may determine; (c) requiring proof of identification and ownership as a stockholder of
record or authorization as proxy; (d) limiting participation at the meeting on any matter to stockholders of record of the Corporation
entitled to vote on such matter, their duly authorized proxies, and other such individuals as the chairman of the meeting may determine;
(e) limiting the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; (f) maintaining order and security at the meeting; (g) removing
any stockholder or any other individual who refuses to comply with meeting procedures, rules or guidelines as set forth by the chairman
of the meeting; and (h) recessing or adjourning the meeting to a later date and time and place announced at the meeting. Unless otherwise
determined by the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary
procedure.
Section 11.
Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders at a meeting of stockholders may be taken
without a meeting if (a) all stockholders entitled to vote on the matter consent to the action in writing, (b) all stockholders entitled
to notice of the meeting but not entitled to vote at it sign a written waiver of any right to dissent and (c) the consents and waivers
are filed with the records of the meetings of stockholders.
Section 12.
Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominations for Director and Other Stockholder Proposals.
(a)
Annual Meetings of Stockholders. (1) Nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal
of other business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s
notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder
of record both at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Article II, Section 12(a) and at the time of the annual meeting, who

(2)
For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of
subsection (a)(1) of this Article II, Section 12, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of
the Corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for action by the stockholders. To be timely, a stockholder’s
notice shall set forth all information required under this Article II, Section 12 and shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal
executive office of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of mailing
of the notice for preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that either the date of the mailing of the
notice for the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the mailing of the
notice of the preceding year’s annual meeting or there was no annual meeting in the preceding year, notice
Foxby Corp.

by the stockholder to be timely must
be so delivered not earlier than the 120th day prior to the date of the mailing of the notice of such annual meeting and not later than
the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of the mailing of the notice for such annual meeting or the tenth
day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall the public announcement
of a postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described
above. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (i) as to each individual whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election
or reelection as a Director, (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of such individual, (B) the class, series and number
of any shares of stock of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by such individual, (C) the date such shares were acquired and the

such determination, (E) sufficient information to enable the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors to make the determination
as to the proposed nominee’s qualifications required under Article III, Section 2(b) of the Bylaws and (F) all other information

(even if an election contest is not involved), or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A (or any successor provision)
under the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder (including such individual’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement
as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected); (ii) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the
meeting, a description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for proposing such business at the meeting,

(3)
Notwithstanding anything in this subsection (a) of this Article II, Section 12 to the contrary, in the event the Board of Directors
increases or decreases the number of Directors in accordance with Article III, Section 2(a) of these Bylaws, and there is no public announcement
of such action at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s
notice required by this Article II, Section 12(a) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions
created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than
the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended September 13, 2023
(b)
Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall
have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of individuals for election to
the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which Directors are to be elected (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s
notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) provided that the Board of Directors has determined
that Directors shall be elected at such special meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record both at
the time of giving of notice provided for in this Article II, Section 12 and at the time of the special meeting, who is entitled to vote
at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Article II, Section 12. In the event the Corporation calls
a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more individuals to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder
may nominate an individual or individuals (as the case may be) for election as a Director as specified in the Corporation’s notice
of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by subsection (a)(2) of this Article II, Section 12 shall be delivered to the Secretary
at the principal executive office of the Corporation not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the
close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement
is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.
In no event shall the public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving
of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
(c)
General. (1) Upon written request by the Secretary or the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, any stockholder
proposing a nominee for election as a Director or any proposal for other business at a meeting of stockholders shall provide, within five
Business Days of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request), written verification, satisfactory,
in the discretion of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof or any authorized officer of the Corporation, to demonstrate the
accuracy of any information submitted by the stockholder pursuant to this Article II, Section 12. If a stockholder fails to provide such
written verification within such period, the information as to which written verification was requested may be deemed not to have been
provided in accordance with this Article II, Section 12.
(2)

printed or otherwise reproduced. Any officer or director of the Corporation (a “Director”) shall have authority to affix the
corporation seal of the Corporation to any document requiring the same.
ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1. Place
of Meeting. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation in the State of Maryland
or at such other place as may from time to time be designated by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of such meeting.
Section
2. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of stockholders for election of Directors and the transaction of such other business within
the powers of the Corporation and that may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such date, time and place as the Board of
Directors, or any duly constituted committee of the Board, shall determine, unless there is no requirement under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), the listing requirements of the stock exchange or market where the
Corporation's stock is listed, or other applicable law that any such meeting be held.
Section 3. Special Meetings.

Any such special meeting shall be held at such place, date and time as may be designated by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President
or Board
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended December 13, 2023
of Directors, whoever has called the
meeting. Subject to subsection (b) of this Article II, Section 3, a special meeting of stockholders shall also be called by the Secretary
of the Corporation (the “Secretary”) upon the written request of the stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority
of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting.
(b)
Stockholder Requested Special Meetings. (1) Any stockholder of record (a ”stockholder of record”) is hereby
defined for all purposes of these Bylaws as a stockholder whose name and address appears on the Corporation’s stock ledger pursuant
to Article VI hereof) seeking to have stockholders request a special meeting shall, by sending written notice to the Secretary (the “Record
Date Request Notice”“) by registered mail, return receipt requested, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date to
determine the stockholders entitled to request a special meeting (the “Request Record Date”“). The Record Date Request
Notice shall set forth the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at it, shall be signed by one or more stockholders
of record as of the date of signature (or their agents duly authorized in writing), shall bear the date of signature of each such stockholder
(or such agent) and shall set forth all information relating to each such stockholder that must be disclosed in solicitations of proxies
for election of Directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or is otherwise required, in each case
pursuant to Regulation 14A (or any successor provision) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Upon receiving the Record Date Request Notice, the Board of Directors may fix a Request Record Date. The Request Record Date shall not
precede and shall not be more than twenty days after the close of business on the date on which the resolution fixing the Request Record
Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors, within twenty days after the date on which a valid Record Date Request
Notice is received, fails to adopt a resolution fixing the Request Record Date and make a public announcement of such Request Record Date,
the Request Record Date shall be the close of business on the twentieth day after the first date on which the Record Date Request Notice
is received by the Secretary.
(2)
In order for any stockholder to request a special meeting, one or more written requests for a special meeting signed by stockholders
of record (or their agents duly authorized in writing) as of the Request Record Date entitled to cast not less than a majority (the “Special
Meeting Percentage”) of all of the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting (the “Special Meeting Request”) shall be
delivered to the Secretary. In addition, the Special Meeting Request shall set forth the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed
to be acted on at it (which shall be limited to the matters set forth in the Record Date Request Notice received by the Secretary), shall
bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or such agent) signing the Special Meeting Request, shall set forth the name and
address, as they appear in the Corporation’s books, of each stockholder signing such request (or on whose behalf the Special Meeting
Request is signed), the class, series and number of all shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned by each such stockholder, and
the nominee holder for, and number of, shares owned by such stockholder beneficially but not of record, shall be sent to the Secretary
by registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be received by the Secretary within 60 days after the Request Record Date. Any
requesting stockholder may revoke his, her or its request for a special meeting at any time by written revocation delivered to the Secretary.
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended December 13, 2023
(3)
The Secretary shall inform the requesting stockholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing the notice of
meeting (including the Corporation’s proxy materials). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Secretary shall not
be required to call a special meeting upon stockholder request and such meeting shall not be held unless, in addition to the documents
required by paragraph (2) of this Article II, Section 3(b), the Secretary receives payment of such reasonably estimated cost prior to
the mailing of any notice of the meeting.
(4)
In the case of any special meeting called by the Secretary upon the request of stockholders (a “Stockholder Requested Meeting”),
such meeting shall be held at such place, date and time as may be designated by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date
of any Stockholder Requested Meeting shall be not more than 90 days after the record date for such meeting (the “Meeting Record
Date”); and provided further that if the Board of Directors fails to designate, within twenty days after the date that a valid Special
Meeting Request is actually received by the Secretary (the “Delivery Date”), a date and time for a Stockholder Requested Meeting,
then such meeting shall be held at 2:00 p.m. local time on the 90th day after the Meeting Record Date or, if such 90th day is not a Business
Day (as defined below), on the first preceding Business Day; and provided further that in the event that the Board of Directors fails
to designate a place for a Stockholder Requested Meeting within twenty days after the Delivery Date, then such meeting shall be held at
the principal executive office of the Corporation. In fixing a date for any special meeting, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President
or Board of Directors may consider such factors as he, she or it deems relevant within the good faith exercise of business judgment, including,
without limitation, the nature of the matters to be considered, the facts and circumstances surrounding any request for the meeting and
any plan of the Board of Directors to call an annual meeting or a special meeting. In the case of any Stockholder Requested Meeting, if
the Board of Directors fails to fix a Meeting Record Date that is a date within 30 days after the Delivery Date, then the close of business
on the 30th day after the Delivery Date shall be the Meeting Record Date.
(5)
If written revocations of requests for the special meeting have been delivered to the Secretary and the result is that stockholders
of record (or their agents duly authorized in writing), as of the Request Record Date, entitled to cast less than the Special Meeting
Percentage have delivered, and not revoked, requests for a special meeting to the Secretary, the Secretary shall: (i) if the notice of
meeting has not already been mailed, refrain from mailing the notice of the meeting and send to all requesting stockholders who have not
revoked such requests written notice of such revocation of a request for the special meeting, generally without identifying from whom
the revocation was received, or (ii) if the notice of meeting has been mailed, revoke the notice of the meeting at any time before the
commencement of the meeting. Any request for a special meeting received after the occurrence of (i) or (ii) above shall be considered
a new Record Date Request Notice pursuant to Article II, Section 3 hereof.
(6)
The Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or the Board of Directors may appoint independent inspectors of elections
to act as the agent of the Corporation for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of any purported Special
Meeting Request received by the Secretary. For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no such purported request
shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Secretary until the earlier of (i) ten Business Days after receipt by the Secretary of such
purported request and (ii) such date as the independent inspectors
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended December 13, 2023
certify to the Corporation as to whether
the valid requests received by the Secretary represent at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock that would be
entitled to vote at such meeting. Nothing contained in this paragraph (6) shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Corporation
or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any request, whether during or after such ten Business Day period,
or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto,
and the seeking of injunctive relief in such litigation).
(7)
For purposes of these Bylaws, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking
institutions in the State of Maryland are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
Section
4. Notice of Meetings. The Secretary shall cause written or printed notice of the place, date and hour, and, in the case of a
special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, to be given, not less than 10 and not more than 90 days before
the date of the meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote at, or entitled to notice of, such meeting by leaving the same with such
stockholder or at such stockholder’s residence or usual place of business or by mailing it, postage prepaid, and addressed to such
stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation at the time of such mailing, or by transmitting it to the stockholder
by electronic mail to any electronic mail address of the stockholder or by any other electronic means. If mailed, notice shall be deemed
to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder as aforesaid. Notice of any stockholders’ meeting
need not be given to any stockholder who shall sign a written waiver of such notice either before or after the time of such meeting, which
waiver shall be filed with the records of such meeting, or to any stockholder who is present at such meeting in person or by proxy. Notice
of adjournment of a stockholders’ meeting to another time or place need not be given if such time and place are announced at the
meeting. Irregularities in the notice of any meeting to, or the non-receipt of any such notice by, any of the stockholders shall not invalidate
any action otherwise properly taken by or at such meeting.
Section
5. Quorum; Adjournment of Meetings. At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled
to cast one-third of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting shall constitute a quorum, except with respect to any matter which,
under applicable statutes or regulatory requirements, requires approval by a separate vote of one or more classes or series of stock,
in which case the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast one-third of all the votes entitled to be cast by each
class or series entitled to vote as a separate class or series on the matter shall constitute a quorum; but this section shall not affect
any requirement under any statute or the charter (the “Charter”) of the Corporation for the vote necessary for the adoption
of any measure. A stockholders’ meeting may be postponed before it is convened by making a public announcement (as defined in Section
12(c)(3) of this Article II) of such postponement prior to the meeting. Notice of the date, time and place to which the meeting is postponed
shall be given not less than ten days prior to such date and otherwise in the manner set forth in Section 4 of this Article II. A stockholders’
meeting may be adjourned after it is convened by the chairman of the meeting one or more times for any reason, including the failure of
a quorum to be present at the meeting or the failure of any proposal to receive sufficient votes for approval without further notice to
a date not more than 120 days after the original record date. A stockholders’
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended December 13, 2023
meeting may be adjourned or recessed
by the chairman of the meeting as to one or more proposals regardless of whether action has been taken on other matters. No notice of
adjournment or recess of a meeting to another time or place need be given to stockholders if such time and place are announced at the
meeting at which the adjournment or recess is taken. Any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting may be transacted
at any postponed, adjourned, or recessed meeting. If, after the postponement or adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the postponed
or adjourned meeting, the secretary shall give notice of the postponed or adjourned meeting to stockholders of record entitled to vote
at such meeting. Any irregularities in the notice of any meeting or the nonreceipt of any such notice by any of the stockholders shall
not invalidate any action otherwise properly taken at any such meeting.
The stockholders
present either in person or by proxy, at a meeting which has been duly called and convened, may continue to transact business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
Section
6. Voting. Unless otherwise provided by the Charter, each outstanding share or fraction thereof, regardless of class, shall be
entitled to one vote or fraction thereof, as the case may be, on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders. A majority of the
votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any matter which may
properly come before the meeting, unless more than a majority of votes cast is required by statute or the Charter or these Bylaws of the
Corporation. The vote upon any question shall be by ballot whenever requested by any person entitled to vote, but, unless such a request
is made, voting may be conducted in any way approved by the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included for purposes of
determining whether a quorum is present at a Shareholders’ meeting but will not be treated as votes cast. Abstentions and broker
non-votes, therefore, will have no effect on proposals which require a plurality or majority of votes cast for approval, but will have
the same effect as a vote “against” on proposals requiring a majority or other specified percentage of outstanding voting
securities for approval.
Section 7. Inspectors.
The Board of Directors, in advance of any meeting, may, but need not, appoint one or more individual inspectors or one or more entities
that designate individuals as inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If an inspector or inspectors are not so appointed,
the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector fails to appear
or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board of Directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the chairman
of the meeting. Each inspector so appointed shall first subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector
at such election with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability, and shall after the election make a certificate of
the result of the vote taken. No candidate for the office of Director shall be appointed such inspector.
The inspectors, if
any, shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence
of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions
arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such acts
as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. Each such report shall be in writing and signed by him
or her or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended December 13, 2023
acting at such meeting. If there is
more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The determination of such inspector or inspectors
as to the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum,
the form, validity and effect of proxies or ballots, all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, the count
or tabulation of all votes, ballots or consents, and all other matters upon which their certificate would be based shall be deemed final
and conclusive, and such inspectors’ determinations shall not be subject to challenge or review prior to or following the issuance
of their certificate, unless such challenge or review is approved by the vote of a majority of the Board of Directors.
Section 8.
Stockholders Entitled to Vote. If the Board of Directors sets a record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with these Bylaws, each stockholder of the Corporation shall be
entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, each share of stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation on such record date.
If no record date has been fixed, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting
of stockholders shall be the later of the close of business on the day on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the thirtieth day before
the meeting, or, if notice is waived by all stockholders, at the close of business on the tenth day next preceding the day on which the
meeting is held.
Section
9. Validity of Proxies, Ballots. In an uncontested matter or election of directors, a stockholder may cast the votes entitled
to be cast by the shares of stock owned of record by the stockholder in person or by proxy executed by the stockholder or the stockholder’s
duly authorized agent in any manner not prohibited by law. In a contested matter or election of directors, a stockholder may cast the
votes entitled to be cast by the shares of stock owned of record by the stockholder in person or by written proxy signed by the stockholder.
Unless a proxy provides otherwise, it shall not be valid more than eleven months after its date. At every meeting of the stockholders,
all proxies shall be received and taken in charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the Secretary of the Corporation
or the person acting as secretary of the meeting before being voted, who shall decide all questions touching the qualification of voters,
the validity of the proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector of election has been appointed for the meeting
in which event such inspector of election shall decide all such questions.
Section 10.
Organization and Conduct of Stockholders’ Meetings. Every meeting of stockholders shall be conducted by an individual appointed
by the Board of Directors to be chairman of the meeting or, in the absence of such appointment, by the Chairman of the Board of Directors
or, in the case of a vacancy in the office or absence or unwillingness of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, by one of the following
officers present at the meeting: the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, if there be one, the President, the officers of the Corporation
in their order of rank and seniority, or, in the absence of such officers, a chairman chosen by the stockholders by the vote of a majority
of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or by proxy. The Secretary, or, in the Secretary’s absence, an Assistant Secretary,
or in the absence of both the Secretary and Assistant Secretaries, a person appointed by the Board of Directors or, in the absence of
such appointment, a person appointed by the chairman of the meeting shall act as secretary. In the event that the Secretary presides at
a meeting of the stockholders, an Assistant Secretary, or in the absence of Assistant Secretaries, an individual appointed by the Board
of Directors or the chairman
Foxby Corp.
Bylaws As Amended December 13, 2023
of the meeting, shall record the minutes
of the meeting. The order of business and all other matters of procedure at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined by the chairman
of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting may prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and take such action as, in the discretion
of such chairman, are appropriate, including, without limitation, (a) restricting admission to the time set for the commencement of the
meeting; (b) limiting attendance at the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized proxies, and other
such individuals as the chairman of the meeting may determine; (c) requiring proof of identification and ownership as a stockholder of
record or authorization as proxy; (d) limiting participation at the meeting on any matter to stockholders of record of the Corporation
entitled to vote on such matter, their duly authorized proxies, and other such individuals as the chairman of the meeting may determine;
(e) limiting the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; (f) maintaining order and security at the meeting; (g) removing
any stockholder or any other individual who refuses to comply with meeting procedures, rules or guidelines as set forth by the chairman
of the meeting; and (h) recessing or adjourning the meeting to a later date and time and place announced at the meeting. Unless otherwise
determined by the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary
procedure.
Section 11.
Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders at a meeting of stockholders may be taken
without a meeting if (a) all stockholders entitled to vote on the matter consent to the action in writing, (b) all stockholders entitled
to notice of the meeting but not entitled to vote at it sign a written waiver of any right to dissent and (c) the consents and waivers
are filed with the records of the meetings of stockholders.
Section 12.
Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominations for Director and Other Stockholder Proposals.
(a)
Annual Meetings of Stockholders. (1) Nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal
of other business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s

(2)
For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of
subsection (a)(1) of this Article II, Section 12, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of
the Corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for action by the stockholders. To be timely, a stockholder’s
notice shall set forth all information required under this Article II, Section 12 and shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal
executive office of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of mailing
of the notice for preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that either the date of the mailing of the
notice for the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the mailing of the
notice of the preceding year’s annual meeting or there was no annual meeting in the preceding year, notice
Foxby Corp.

by the stockholder to be timely must
be so delivered not earlier than the 120th day prior to the date of the mailing of the notice of such annual meeting and not later than
the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of the mailing of the notice for such annual meeting or the tenth
day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall the public announcement

above. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (i) as to each individual whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election
or reelection as a Director, (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of such individual, (B) the class, series and number

as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected); (ii) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the
meeting, a description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for proposing such business at the meeting,

Notwithstanding anything in this subsection (a) of this Article II, Section 12 to the contrary, in the event the Board of Directors
increases or decreases the number of Directors in accordance with Article III, Section 2(a) of these Bylaws, and there is no public announcement
of such action at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s
notice required by this Article II, Section 12(a) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions
created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than
the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

Bylaws As Amended December 13, 2023
(b)
Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall
have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of individuals for election to
the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which Directors are to be elected (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s
notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) provided that the Board of Directors has determined

of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
(c)
General. (1) Upon written request by the Secretary or the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, any stockholder
proposing a nominee for election as a Director or any proposal for other business at a meeting of stockholders shall provide, within five
Business Days of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request), written verification, satisfactory,
in the discretion of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof or any authorized officer of the Corporation, to demonstrate the
accuracy of any information submitted by the stockholder pursuant to this Article II, Section 12. If a stockholder fails to provide such
written verification within such period, the information as to which written verification was requested may be deemed not to have been
provided in accordance with this Article II, Section 12.
(2)
Only such individuals who are nominated in accordance with this Article II, Section 12 shall be eligible for nomination for election
as Directors, and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in
accordance with this Article II, Section 12. The chairman of the meeting shall have the sole and final power to determine at any time
prior to or at the meeting whether a nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed,
as the case may be, in accordance with this Article II, Section
12. No action by the Corporation or
any other person shall be deemed an amendment or waiver of the requirements of this Article II, Section 12 unless approved by a resolution
adopted by the Board of Directors.
(3)
For purposes of this Article II, Section 12, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure (i) reported by the Dow Jones

of the Corporation’s Charter, and Bylaws (including without limitation Article III, Section 2 regarding qualifications), state law,
and of the Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act and any rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth
in this Article II, Section 12. Nothing in this Article II, Section 12 shall be deemed to affect any right of a stockholder to request
inclusion of a proposal in, nor the right of the Corporation to omit a proposal from, the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant
to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor provision) under the Exchange Act.
ARTICLE III
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
