Current wording
Net change in unrealized loss on investments of $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of our convertible note and senior secured loan to Snagajob.com, Inc., our senior secured loans to FiscalNote, Inc., and Vesta Payment Solutions, Inc., and our common stock investment in Coginiti Corp. The net change in unrealized loss on investments of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to decreases in the fair value of our investments in Gynesonics, Inc., offset by an increase in the fair value of our senior secured loans to Brivo, Inc., as well as a recovery of $1.2 million in liquidation of assets related to the senior secured loan to Pivot3, Inc., which released prior unrealized loss recorded on the investment.
