Previous wording
We are a specialty finance company that lends to and invests in development-stage companies in the technology, life science, healthcare information and services and sustainability industries, which we refer to as our “Target Industries.” Our investment objective is to maximize our investment portfolio’s total return by generating current income from the debt investments we make and capital appreciation from the warrants we receive when making such debt investments. We are focused on making secured debt investments, which we refer to collectively as “Venture Loans,” to venture capital and private equity backed companies and publicly traded companies in our Target Industries, which we refer to as “Venture Lending.” Our debt investments are typically secured by first liens or first liens behind a secured revolving line of credit, or collectively “Senior Term Loans.” Some of our debt investments may also be subordinated to term debt provided by third parties. As of March 31, 2025, 87.5%, or $563.3 million, of our debt investment portfolio at fair value consisted of Senior Term Loans. Venture Lending is typically characterized by (1) the making of a secured debt investment after a venture capital or equity investment in the portfolio company has been made, which investment provides a source of cash to fund the portfolio company’s debt service obligations under the Venture Loan, (2) the senior priority of the Venture Loan which requires repayment of the Venture Loan prior to the equity investors realizing a return on their capital, (3) the amortization of the Venture Loan and (4) the lender’s receipt of warrants or other success fees with the making of the Venture Loan.

We use an internal credit rating system which rates each debt investment on a scale of 4 to 1, with 4 being the highest credit quality rating and 3 being the rating for a standard level of risk. A rating of 2 represents an increased level of risk and, while no loss is currently anticipated for a 2‑rated debt investment, there is potential for future loss of principal. A rating of 1 represents a deteriorating credit quality and a high degree of risk of loss of principal. Our internal credit rating system is not a national credit rating system.

Performance based incentive fee expense decreased by $0.3 million, or 100.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was due to a decrease of $2.2 million, or 16.9%, in Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 and an Incentive Fee Cap calculated based on the Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism in our Investment Management Agreement of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to an Incentive Fee Cap of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism resulted in $2.1 million of reduced incentive fee expense and increased net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The incentive fee on pre-incentive fee net investment income was subject to the Incentive Fee Cap for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to the cumulative incentive fees paid exceeding 20% of cumulative pre-incentive fee net return during the applicable quarter and the 11 preceding full calendar quarters.

The incentive fee on pre-incentive fee net investment income was subject to the Incentive Fee Cap for the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to the cumulative incentive fees paid exceeding 20% of cumulative pre-incentive fee net return during the applicable quarter and the 11 preceding full calendar quarters.

There was no performance based incentive fee expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The incentive fee on pre-incentive fee net investment income was subject to an Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism in our Investment Management Agreement of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to an Incentive Fee Cap of $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Incentive Fee Cap and Deferral Mechanism resulted in $2.3 million of reduced incentive fee expense and increased net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The incentive fee on pre-incentive fee net investment income was subject to the Incentive Fee Cap for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to the cumulative incentive fees paid exceeding 20% of cumulative pre-incentive fee net return during the applicable quarter and the 11 preceding full calendar quarters.

Total investment income decreased by $2.8 million, or 5.3%, to $49.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, total investment income consisted primarily of (1) $46.1 million in interest income from investments, which included $7.6 million in income from the accretion of origination fees and end of term payments and $0.5 million in PIK interest income and (2) $3.0 million in fee income.

Interest income on debt investments decreased by $4.5 million, or 8.8%, to $46.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Interest income on debt investments for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased primarily due to a decrease in the Prime Rate which is the base rate for most of our variable rate debt investments. The proportion of total investment income that resulted from the portion of ETPs not received in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 3.7% and 6.7%, respectively. The decrease in the proportion of total investment income that resulted from the portion of ETPs not received in cash was a result of an increase in prepayments for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

PIK interest income decreased by $1.2 million, or 69.6%, to $0.5 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 1.1% and 3.3%, respectively, of total investment income was attributable to non-cash PIK interest income.

Net realized gains and losses and net unrealized appreciation and depreciation
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the cost basis of our investments without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Realized gains or losses on investments include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments primarily reflects the change in portfolio investment fair values during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, net unrealized depreciation on investments totaled $54.3 million which was primarily due to (1) the unrealized depreciation on seven of our debt investments, (2) the unrealized depreciation on four of our other investments and (3) the unrealized depreciation on two of our equity investments partially offset by (1) the reversal of previously recorded unrealized depreciation from the settlement of one of our debt investments and (2) the unrealized appreciation of two of our warrant investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, net unrealized depreciation on investments totaled $28.5 million which was primarily due to (1) the unrealized depreciation on four of our debt investments and one of our equity investments and (2) the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation from the exercise and conversion to equity of one of our warrant investments offset by the unrealized appreciation on one of our debt investments. The difficult equity fundraising market and under performance of certain portfolio companies, among other factors, resulted in us reducing the fair market value of the debt investments in such portfolio companies, thus increasing the unrealized depreciation on such debt investments.
