TCW STRATEGIC INCOME FUND INC

Pursuant to this proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”), the Board of Directors of TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) is soliciting your proxy in connection with the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”). The Board of Directors (each, a “Director” and collectively, the “Board of Directors,” the “Directors,” or the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on July 31, 2024 as the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card were first mailed to shareholders on or about August 5, 2024.

The Board is soliciting proxies from shareholders of the Company with respect to the following proposals:

The Board of Directors solicits and recommends your execution of the enclosed proxy card. Shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) for which a properly signed proxy card is received will be represented at the Annual Meeting and will be voted as instructed on the proxy card. Shareholders are urged to specify their choices by marking an “X” in the appropriate box on the proxy card. If no choices are specified, the shares represented will be voted as recommended by your Board of Directors. A shareholder may revoke a proxy at any time prior to its exercise by filing a written instrument revoking the proxy with the Secretary of the Company, or by submitting a proxy bearing a later date, or by attending and voting at the Annual Meeting. However, attendance at the Annual Meeting, by itself, will not revoke a previously submitted proxy.
