Current report

In accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement, effective March 31, 2025, the management fee base rate increased from 0.75% to 1.00%. Our increase in management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 from the comparable periods in 2024 was primarily attributable to the increase in the management fee base rate.

Current report

Additionally, effective March 31, 2025, our Adviser's waiver of incentive fees on income and on capital gains expired pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, our income based incentive fees were $2.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, of which $2.3 million was waived in the first quarter of 2025 in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, income based incentive fees of $3.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively, were waived in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement.

Current report

We recorded a net change in unrealized loss of $(12.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which resulted from a decrease in fair value primarily attributable to two underperforming portfolio companies. We recorded a net change in unrealized loss of $(8.0) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which resulted from a decrease in fair value of investments in certain underperforming portfolio companies in the second quarter of 2024, offset by unrealized gains in the first quarter of 2024 driven primarily from the tightening of market spreads and a reversal of unrealized losses on certain of our underperforming debt positions that were ultimately realized.

Current report

On May 7, 2025, the Company and certain of its affiliates filed an application for co-investment exemptive relief based on an updated model of co-investment order that was recently granted by the SEC (as amended on June 30, 2025 and July 7, 2025, the “Application”). The SEC issued a notice for the Application on July 9, 2025, and the notice period expired on August 4, 2025. The Company expects that the SEC will grant the exemptive order on or around August 5, 2025 (the “Order”). The Order would supersede the prior exemptive order granted on June 7, 2019 and amended on October 14, 2022. The Order would permit the Company to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with other funds managed by the Adviser or certain other affiliates pursuant to the conditions of the Order. The Order would require that a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board make certain findings with respect to the following, among other things, (1) when the Company co-invests with an affiliated entity (as defined in the Application) in an issuer where an affiliated entity has an existing investment in the issuer under certain circumstances, and (2) if the Company disposes of an asset acquired in a co-investment transaction unless the disposition is done on a pro rata basis or the disposition is of a tradable security. Pursuant to the Order, the Board will oversee the Company’s participation in the co-investment program. As required by the Order, the Company has adopted, and the Board has approved, policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure the Company’s compliance with the conditions of the Order, and the Adviser and the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer will provide reporting to the Board.

Current report

We apply the practical expedient relating to investments in certain portfolio companies that calculate NAV per share (or its equivalent). U,S, GAAP permits an entity holding investments in certain portfolio companies that either are investment companies, or have attributes similar to an investment company, and calculate NAV per share or its equivalent for which the fair value is not readily determinable, to measure the fair value of such investments on the basis of that NAV per share, or its equivalent, without adjustment. Investments which are valued using NAV per share or its equivalent as a practical expedient are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy, as described below.

Current report

On July 21, 2025, the aggregate purchase price for all shares of common stock purchased under the Company 10b5-1 Plan reached $99.3 million, and the Company 10b5-1 Plan was terminated in accordance with its terms on the same date.

Previous report

Management fees increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the comparable periods in 2024 driven by an increase in our total assets. Incentive fees based on income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 of $2.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, were waived in accordance with our Advisory Agreement.

Previous report

On June 7, 2019, the SEC granted an exemptive order (the “Order”) that permits us to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with certain other funds and accounts sponsored or managed by either of the Advisers and/or their affiliates, subject to the conditions of the Order. Pursuant to the Order, the Company is permitted to co-invest with its affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board's independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including, but not limited to, that (1) the terms of the potential co-investment transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and its stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Company or its stockholders on the part of any person concerned and (2) the potential co-investment transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company's stockholders and is consistent with its then-current investment objective and strategies. Neither we nor the affiliated funds are obligated to invest or co-invest when investment opportunities are referred to us or them.

Previous report

In addition, pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC on April 8, 2020 and applicable to all BDCs through December 31, 2020 (the “Temporary Relief”), the Company was permitted, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to complete follow-on investments in our existing portfolio companies with certain affiliates that are private funds if such private funds did not hold an investment in such existing portfolio company. Without the Temporary Relief, such private funds would not be able to participate in such follow-on investments with us unless the private funds had previously acquired securities of the portfolio company in a co-investment transaction with the Company. Although the Temporary Relief expired on December 31, 2020, the SEC’s Division of Investment Management had indicated that until March 31, 2022, it would not recommend enforcement action, to the extent that any BDC with an existing co-investment order continues to engage in certain transactions described in the Temporary Relief, pursuant to the same terms and conditions described therein. The conditional exemptive order is no longer effective; however, on October 14, 2022, the SEC granted an exemptive order to permit the Company to continue to complete follow-on investments in its existing portfolio companies with certain affiliates that are private funds if such private funds did not hold an investment in such existing portfolio company, subject to certain conditions.

2 The interest coverage ratio calculation is derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial information received by the Adviser and is a weighted average based on the fair market value of each respective first lien loan investment as of its most recent reporting to lenders. Such reporting may include assumptions regarding the impact of interest rate hedges established by borrowers to reduce their exposure to floating interest rates (resulting in a reduced hedging rate being used for the total interest expense in respect of such hedges, rather than any higher rates applicable under the documentation for such loans), even if such hedging instruments are not pledged as collateral to lenders in respect of such loans and do not secure the loans themselves. The interest rate coverage ratio excludes junior capital investments and equity co-investments and applies solely to traditional middle market first lien loans held by us, which also excludes any upper middle market or other first lien loans investments that do not have maintenance financial covenants and first lien loans that the Adviser has assigned a risk rating of ‘8’ or higher, as well as any portfolio companies with net senior leverage of 15x or greater. As a result of the foregoing exclusions, the interest coverage ratio shown herein applies to 76.41% of our total investments, and 84.43% of our total first lien loan investments, in each case based upon fair value.

The weighted average yield of our debt and income producing securities is not the same as a return on investment for our shareholders, but rather relates to our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of our and our subsidiaries’ fees and expenses. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates as of each respective date, including accretion of original issue discount, but excluding any investments on non-accrual status, if any. There can be no assurance that the weighted average yield will remain at its current level. Total weighted average yields of our debt and income producing investments, at cost, decreased from 10.33% to 10.10% from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025. The decrease in weighted average yields was primarily due to lower base interest rates.

Previous wording

Private equity mergers and acquisitions ("M&A") activity slowed in the first quarter of 2025 as investors sought to understand the impact of tariffs on private businesses. Prepayment activity in the first quarter of 2025 returned to normalized levels, primarily as a result of refinancings, as spreads remain attractive to borrowers. While prepayments serve as an offset to new transaction activity, we believe that lenders who are well positioned with available liquidity, as well as incumbent positions in portfolio companies, will benefit from the refinancing activity in the market.

Current wording

Private equity mergers and acquisitions ("M&A") activity began to rebound late in the second quarter of 2025, after a slow down at the beginning of the second quarter caused by uncertainty regarding the U.S. global trade policy, which resulted in market volatility. Repayment activity in the first half of 2025 remained in line with historical averages primarily as a result of new transaction activity, as well as some refinancings, as spreads remain attractive to borrowers. While repayments serve as an offset to new transaction activity, we believe that lenders who are well positioned with available liquidity, as well as incumbent positions in portfolio companies and existing relationships, will benefit from new deal activity in the market.

Previous wording

Changes to trade policies, including the imposition of new tariffs by the current administration, could disrupt supply chains and may negatively impact the financial condition of certain of our portfolio companies as well as the macro-economic environment. In light of these changes, we are closely monitoring the impacts to our portfolio companies, and we will continue to seek to invest in defensive businesses with low levels of cyclicality, strong levels of free cash flow generation, and multiple channels to source products or materials. While we are not seeing signs of a broad-based deterioration in our performance or that of our portfolio companies at this time, there can be no assurance that the performance of certain of our portfolio companies will not be negatively impacted by economic conditions, which could have a negative impact on our future results.

Investment income increased to $53.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $51.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to increased investment activity, offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield of our debt and income producing investments.

As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average yield of our debt and income producing investments decreased to 10.10% from 11.55% as of March 31, 2024, at cost, primarily due to overall tightening of spreads in new investments and the decline in base interest rates.

As of June 30, 2025, the weighted average yield of our debt and income producing investments decreased to 10.08% from 11.32% as of June 30, 2024, at cost, primarily due to overall tightening of spreads in new investments and the decline in base interest rates.

Previous wording

Interest and debt financing expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to higher average daily borrowings and expenses relating to the termination of the Wells Fargo Financing Facility and the CLO-I Refinancing (each as defined below) during the period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net realized loss on investments of $(9.6) million, compared to a net realized loss of $(2.6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The net realized loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the restructuring of an underperforming debt position offset by realized gains from full or partial repayments and sales of investments in portfolio companies.

Previous wording

We recorded a net change in unrealized loss of $(13.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a net change in unrealized gain of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which reflects the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio relative to its cost basis over the period. The net change in unrealized loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily resulted from the underperformance of certain portfolio companies as market spreads remained relatively stable throughout the period.

Current wording

We recorded a net change in unrealized gain of $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which resulted primarily from a reversal of an unrealized loss on an underperforming debt position that was restructured during the period offset by a decrease in fair value of certain underperforming portfolio investments. We recorded net change in unrealized loss of $(9.8) million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which resulted from the reversal of an unrealized loss on an underperforming debt position that was restructured during the period offset by the underperformance of certain portfolio companies as market spreads remained relatively stable throughout the period.

Previous wording

Due to the diverse capital resources available to us at this time, we believe we have adequate liquidity to support our near-term capital requirements. Our liquidity and capital resources are generated primarily from cash flows from income earned from our investments and principal repayments, net proceeds of public offerings of debt securities and equity securities (including through the ATM Program, as described below), and our net borrowings from our credit facilities and CLO debt issuances (discussed further below). Due to an uncertain economic outlook and current market volatility, we regularly evaluate our overall liquidity position and take proactive steps to maintain that position based on such circumstances. The primary uses of our cash are (i) purchases of investments in portfolio companies, (ii) funding the cost of our operations (including fees paid to our Adviser), (iii) debt service, repayment and other financing costs of our borrowings, (iv) cash distributions to the holders of our shares, and (v) share repurchases under the Company 10b5-1 Plan (defined below).
