(3)Generally, the interest rate on floating interest rate investments is at benchmark rate plus spread, subject to a benchmark interest rate floor.

The terms in the Schedule of Investments disclose the actual interest rate in effect as of the reporting period. S loans are typically indexed to 30-day, 90-day or 180-day rates (1M, 3M or 6M, respectively) as defined in the Credit or Loan Service Agreement. As of March 31, 2025, rates for 1M S, 3M S and 6M S are 4.33%, 4.35%, and 4.55%, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the P was 7.50%.
