Our investment objective is to generate current income, and to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting investment opportunities with favorable risk-adjusted returns. Our investment strategy focuses primarily on originating and making loans to, and making debt and equity investments in, U.S. middle-market companies. Since our Adviser and its affiliates began investment activities in April 2016 through March 31, 2025, our Adviser and its affiliates have originated $154.20 billion aggregate principal amount of investments, of which $150.22 billion of aggregate principal amount of investments prior to any subsequent exits or repayments, was retained by either us or a corporation or fund advised by our Adviser or its affiliates. We seek to participate in transactions sponsored by what we believe to be high-quality private equity and venture capital firms capable of providing both operational and financial resources. We seek to generate current income primarily in U.S. middle-market companies, both sponsored and non-sponsored, through direct originations of senior secured loans or originations of unsecured loans, subordinated loans or mezzanine loans, broadly syndicated loans and, to a lesser extent, investments in equity and equity-related securities including warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity. Except for our specialty financing company investments, our equity investments are typically not control-oriented investments and we may structure such equity investments to include provisions protecting our rights as a minority-interest holder.

Limited Availability of Capital for Middle-Market Companies. The middle-market is a large addressable market. According to GE Capital’s National Center for the Middle Market Year-End 2024 Middle Market Indicator, there are approximately 200,000 U.S. middle-market companies, which have approximately 48 million aggregate employees. Moreover, the U.S. middle-market accounts for one-third of private sector gross domestic product (“GDP”). GE defines U.S. middle-market companies as those between $10 million and $1 billion in annual revenue, which we believe has significant overlap with our definition of U.S. middle-market companies. We believe U.S. middle-market companies will continue to require access to debt capital to refinance existing debt, support growth and finance acquisitions. We believe that regulatory and structural factors, industry consolidation and general risk aversion, limit the amount of traditional financing available to U.S. middle-market companies. We believe that many commercial and investment banks have, in recent years, de-emphasized their service and product offerings to middle-market businesses in favor of lending to large corporate clients and managing capital markets transactions. In addition, these lenders may be constrained in their ability to underwrite and hold bank loans and high yield securities for middle-market issuers as they seek to meet existing and future regulatory capital requirements. We also believe that there is a lack of market participants that are willing to hold meaningful amounts of certain middle-market loans. As a result, we believe our ability to minimize syndication risk for a company seeking financing by being able to hold its loans without having to syndicate them, coupled with reduced capacity of traditional lenders to serve the middle-market, present an attractive opportunity to invest in middle-market companies.

Investment income increased to $464.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $399.6 million for the same period in prior year primarily due to an increase in interest income as a result of an increase in the par value of our debt investments from our acquisition of OBDE, partially offset by a decrease in the yield of our debt investment portfolio from 11.5% to 10.2% period over period. Fees received from unscheduled paydowns decreased to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $10.6 million for the same period in prior year. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as a percentage of total income, payment-in-kind income decreased to 10.7% from 12.9%, respectively as a result of several investments converting to cash pay and lower levels of PIK in investments acquired from OBDE. Included in investment income is dividend income which includes income earned from our controlled, affiliated and non-controlled, affiliated equity investments. Included in interest income are other fees such as prepayment fees and accelerated amortization of upfront fees from unscheduled paydowns which are non-recurring in nature. Dividend income increased to $56.5 million from $50.1 million in the prior period, primarily due to an increase in dividends earned from equity investments acquired from OBDE. Other income increased period over period due to an increase in incremental fee income, which are fees that are generally available to us as a result of closing investments and normally paid at the time of closing. We expect that investment income will vary based on a variety of factors including the pace of our originations and repayments.

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, and we intend to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, we must, among other things, distribute to our shareholders in each taxable year generally at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, and net tax-exempt income for that taxable year. In addition, a RIC may, in certain cases, satisfy this distribution requirement by distributing dividends relating to a taxable year after the close of such taxable year under the “spillover dividend” provisions of subchapter M. As of March 31, 2025 we have generated undistributed taxable earnings “spillover” of approximately $0.34 per share. The undistributed taxable earnings spillover will be carried forward toward distributions to be paid in accordance with RIC requirements. To maintain our tax treatment as a RIC, we, among other things, intend to make the requisite distributions to our shareholders, which generally relieves us from U.S. federal income taxes at corporate rates.

Investment income increased to $485.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $396.7 million for the same period in prior year primarily due to an increase in interest income as a result of an increase in the par value of our debt investments from our acquisition of OBDE on January 13, 2025, partially offset by a decrease in the yield of our debt investment portfolio from 11.4% to 10.1% period over period. Included in interest income are other fees, such as prepayment fees and accelerated amortization of upfront fees from unscheduled paydowns, which are non-recurring in nature. Fees received from unscheduled paydowns increased to $32.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $10.3 million for the same period in prior year due to an elevated level of repayment related activity. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as a percentage of total income, payment-in-kind income decreased to 9.1% from 13.5% as a result of several investments converting to cash pay and lower levels of PIK in investments acquired from OBDE. Dividend income increased to $55.2 million from $51.1 million in the prior period, primarily due to an increase in dividends earned from our non-controlled, non-affiliated equity investments. Other income decreased period over period due to a decrease in incremental fee income, which are fees that are generally available to us as a result of closing investments and normally paid at the time of closing. We expect that investment income will vary based on a variety of factors including the pace of our originations and repayments.

Total expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in prior year, primarily driven by an increase in interest expense, management fees and incentive fees. Interest expense increased due to an increase in daily average borrowings from $7.3 billion to $10.1 billion primarily due to the assumption of OBDE’s debt facilities, partially offset by a decrease in average interest rate period over period from 5.7% to 5.6%. Management fees increased primarily due to an increase in average adjusted gross assets as a result of our acquisition of OBDE. Incentive fees increased due to an increase in net investment income, primarily due to an increase in the size of the income producing portfolio as a result of our acquisition of OBDE. As a percentage of total assets, professional fees, directors’ fees and other general and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent period over period.
