You should carefully consider the risks contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including our interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, before making a decision to purchase our securities.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2026.

The risks and uncertainties described in this report and our annual report on Form 10-K are not the only ones we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the risks listed in this report and our annual report on Form 10-K actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Structure

We are dependent upon RGC's senior management personnel for our future success.

We depend on the experience, diligence, skill and investment acumen of RGC's senior officers and other investment professionals, including members of its investment committee, that it currently retains or may subsequently retain that identify, evaluate, negotiate, structure, close, monitor and manage our investments. Our future success will depend to a significant extent on the continued service of RGC's senior management. We cannot assure you that unforeseen business, medical, personal or other circumstances would not lead any such individual to terminate his or her relationship with us. The departure of any of the members of RGC's senior management could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our investment objective, as well as on our financial condition, business and results of operations. In addition, we can offer no assurance that RGC will continue indefinitely as our investment adviser.

The members of RGC's senior management are and may in the future become affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us and may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time. RGC may also manage and sub-advise private investment funds and accounts, and may manage other such funds and accounts in the future, which have investment mandates that are similar, in whole or in part, with ours. Accordingly, RGC's senior management may have obligations to investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of us or our stockholders. For example, RGC's senior management may face conflicts of interest in the allocation of investment opportunities to us and such other existing and future funds and accounts.
