Previous wording
From time to time, the Advisers, the Administrators or their respective affiliates may pay third-party providers of goods or services on our behalf. We will reimburse the Adviser, the Administrator or such affiliates thereof, the Adviser will reimburse the Sub-Adviser, the Administrator or such affiliates thereof, and the Administrator will reimburse the Sub-Administrator or such affiliates thereof, in each case, for any such amounts. From time to time, the Advisers or the Administrators may defer or waive fees or rights to be reimbursed. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Company’s allocable portion of the Administrator’s rent and other occupancy costs are expenses of the Company. However, the Administrator and the Prior Administrator have not historically, and the Administrator does not currently, calculate the amount of rent and other occupancy costs allocable to the Company and the Administrator and Prior Administrator have not indicated an intention to seek reimbursement from the Company for such costs. Thus, the Company, the Administrator and the Prior Administrator, as applicable, treat any such rights to any reimbursement for rent and other occupancy costs for prior periods as having been waived pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement and the Prior Administration Agreement, as applicable, including for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Additionally, since the Company, the Administrator and the Prior Administrator treat any such right to reimbursement for rent and occupancy costs as having been waived pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement and the Prior Administration Agreement, as applicable, the Administrator and the Prior Administrator cannot recoup any such expenses. However, in future periods, the Administrator may choose to establish an allocation methodology to calculate these costs and seek reimbursement from the Company, in which case the Company will accrue and reimburse the Administrator for such costs for that period. All of the foregoing expenses will ultimately be borne by our shareholders.

Previous wording
Elevated interest rates continued to favorably impact our investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Despite gradual decreases in interest rates during 2025, inflation has remained above the U.S. Federal Reserve’s target level, and interest rates remain elevated. Following three consecutive rate cuts in 2025, the U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates steady since December 2025 and for the first half of 2026 and noted, among other matters, that it would continue to assess and monitor incoming information in considering additional adjustments. Future decreases in benchmark interest rates may adversely impact our investment income. Conversely, future increases in benchmark interest rates and the resulting impacts to cost of capital have the potential to negatively impact the free cash flow and credit quality of certain borrowers which could impact their ability to make principal and interest payments. If such interest rate fluctuations occur concurrently with a period of economic weakness or a slowdown in growth, our borrowers’ and our portfolio performance may be negatively impacted. Further, significant market dislocation as a result of changing economic conditions could limit the liquidity of certain assets traded in the credit markets, and this could impact our ability to sell such assets at attractive prices or in a timely manner.

Previous wording
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our debt consisted of asset based leverage facilities, a revolving credit facility, unsecured note issuances and debt securitizations. We have and will continue to, from time to time, enter into additional credit facilities, increase the size of our existing credit facilities or issue further debt securities. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to incur borrowings, issue debt securities or issue preferred stock, if immediately after the borrowing or issuance, the ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness plus preferred stock, is at least 150%. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had an aggregate amount of $7.6 billion and $8.1 billion of senior securities outstanding, respectively, and our asset coverage ratio was 178.0% and 177.1%, respectively. We seek to carefully consider our unfunded commitments for the purpose of planning our ongoing financial leverage. Further, we maintain sufficient borrowing capacity within the 150% asset coverage limitation to cover any outstanding unfunded commitments we expect to be required to fund. From time to time we may also repurchase our outstanding debt. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material.
