Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company may utilize derivative contracts in connection with its investment activities. Investments in derivative contracts are subject to additional risks that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment. The derivative activities and exposure to derivative contracts primarily involve equity price risks. In addition to the primary underlying risk, additional counterparty risk exists due to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Warrants provide exposure and potential gains upon increases in the portfolio company’s equity value. A warrant has a limited life and expires on a certain date. As a warrant’s expiration date approaches, the time value of the warrant will decline. In addition, if the stock underlying the warrant declines in price, the intrinsic value of an "in the money" warrant will decline. Further, if the price of the stock underlying the warrant does not exceed the strike price of the warrant on the expiration date, the warrant will expire worthless. As a result, there is the potential for the entire value of an investment in a warrant to be lost. The Company’s volume of warrant investment activity is closely correlated to its primary senior secured loans to portfolio companies. Counterparty risk exists from the potential failure of an issuer of warrants to settle its exercised warrants. The maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the fair value of the contracts and the purchase price of the warrants. The Board of Directors considers the effects of counterparty risk when determining the fair value of its investments in warrants.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had a net realized loss of$2.1 million and a net unrealized gain of$1.4 million from its investments in warrants. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a net realized gain of$1.6 million and a net unrealized loss of$2.6 million from its investments in warrants. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had a net realized loss of $1.4 millionand a net unrealized loss of $5.2 million from its investments in warrants. Realized gains and losses from warrants are included in the respective control, affiliate, or non-control/non-affiliate "Net realized gain (loss)" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses from investments in warrants are included in the respective control, affiliate, or non-control/non-affiliate "Net change in unrealized gain (loss)" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
