The decrease in the Base Management Fees for the three months ended June 30, 2026 versus the three months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily related to the average value of gross assets decreasing from $2,621.7 million as of the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters prior to June 30, 2025 to $2,537.0 million as of the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters prior to June 30, 2026.
