Additionally, under Section 55 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), we may not acquire any non-qualifying assets unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets.

As of September 30, 2026, we held restricted securities with an aggregate fair value of $1.4 billion, or 217.9% of our net assets.
(E)Unless indicated otherwise, all of our investments are valued using Level 3 inputs within the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820") fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 3 —Investments in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(F)Where applicable, aggregates all shares of a class of stock owned without regard to specific series owned within such class (some series of which may or may not be voting shares) or aggregates all warrants to purchase shares of a class of stock owned without regard to specific series of such class of stock such warrants allow us to purchase.
(G)Debt security is on non-accrual status.
