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 loan investments that do not have financial maintenance covenants and first lien loans that the Adviser has assigned an internal 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 74.47% of our total investments, and 83.11% of our total first lien loan investments, in each case based upon fair value.

As of June 30, 2026, our estimated exposure to the software sector represented 2.42% of the total portfolio, at fair value. The estimate of software exposure (i) includes any borrower whose business model reflects the operating or structural characteristics of a software company, regardless of its industry classification, and (ii) excludes technology-adjacent companies, such as managed service providers and systems integrators, that may be assigned to 'High-Tech Industries' under Moody's industry classification but do not derive revenue from the licensing or subscription of proprietary software. As a result, certain borrowers classified within 'High-Tech Industries' in the table above are excluded from the software sector estimate, while certain borrowers classified in other industries are included, based on whether they derive revenue from proprietary software licensing or subscriptions. We believe this estimate is an accurate representation of our software sector exposure. Results will differ, in some cases significantly, if an alternative industry classification methodology were applied.

In the second quarter, private equity mergers and acquisitions activity was highly selective, as financial sponsor deal activity slowed compared to the first quarter, despite overall global mergers and acquisitions recording new highs. Private equity volumes were relatively light compared to prior periods, driven by continued market volatility, as buyers navigated geopolitical uncertainties and AI-driven disruptions. Existing portfolio companies continue to be a source of deal volume as sponsors pursue inorganic growth through buy and build strategies. The gap between strategic acquirers and private equity sponsors widened, as financial sponsors faced disciplined underwriting and tighter credit constraints. Nevertheless, substantial dry powder remains available, and a stabilization of market conditions could support a resumption of deal activity. Repayment and exit activity in private equity sponsor deals slowed significantly during the quarter amid increased macroeconomic uncertainty and AI-related sector disruptions. While repayment activity may continue to offset new investment deployment, we believe that well-capitalized lenders with available liquidity, existing portfolio company relationships, and strong proprietary sponsor networks are well-positioned to benefit from a market recovery when conditions stabilize.
Current wording
Private equity mergers and acquisitions activity rebounded modestly in the third quarter, compared to a slower second quarter, reflecting a partial market recovery. Although U.S. private equity deal count and deal value increased sequentially, M&A activity remains highly selective and relatively light compared to prior year periods, driven by continued market volatility, as buyers navigated elevated borrowing costs, geopolitical uncertainties and AI-driven disruptions. Nevertheless, substantial dry powder remains available, and we believe a stabilization of market conditions could support a resumption of deal activity. Existing portfolio companies continue to be a source of deal volume as sponsors pursue inorganic growth through buy and build strategies.

In addition to market volatility and uncertainty, certain broader macro-economic risks remain. 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. To the extent tariff policies are modified or customs refunds are processed, such developments could partially mitigate the impact on affected portfolio companies, though the timing and magnitude of any such adjustments remain uncertain. Additionally, rising geopolitical tensions have contributed to capital markets volatility and upward pressure on inflation, further complicating the macro-economic outlook. While we have not observed significant energy input cost increases affecting our portfolio companies to date, we continue to monitor the potential effect of energy price volatility on portfolio company operating costs and margins. Given that inflation remains above the Fed’s targets, expectations for rate cuts for the remainder of the year have diminished with the forward SOFR curve now showing potential rate increases. To the extent the SOFR reference rate increases, such increases could create additional burden on levered portfolio companies in servicing their debt obligations. The rapid evolution and adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may also create both opportunities and challenges for certain businesses, potentially reshaping competitive dynamics, operational models, and workforce requirements across industries. In light of these dynamics, we are closely monitoring the performance and outlook of our portfolio companies, and we will continue to seek to invest in defensive businesses with low levels of cyclicality, pricing power, strong free cash flow generation, and multiple channels to source products or materials. There can be no assurance that economic conditions or competitive market dynamics will not adversely impact certain of our portfolio companies, which could have an impact on our future results.

Interest and debt financing expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a lower average interest rate and lower average daily borrowings, partially offset by one-time costs associated with debt facility refinancings completed during the first quarter of 2026, as further described below in Borrowings. Average daily borrowings decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily due to a decrease in borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility (defined below). For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $0.8 million of non-recurring interest and debt financing expenses relating to the acceleration of deferred financing costs in connection with the CLO-II Refinancing.

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 Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and CLO debt issuances (discussed further below). Due to an uncertain economic outlook, elevated capital market volatility, and increased macroeconomic uncertainties (rising geopolitical tensions), we regularly evaluate our overall liquidity position and take proactive steps to maintain and strengthen 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 (as defined below).

Previous wording
Although we have historically been able to obtain sufficient borrowing capacity, a deterioration in economic conditions, elevated market volatility, or other negative economic developments could restrict our access to financing in the future. We may not be able to find new financing for future investments or liquidity needs and, even if we are able to obtain such financing, such financing may not be on as favorable terms as we have previously obtained. In particular, current market conditions, including reduced bank market participation and elevated credit market volatility, may affect the availability and terms of future financing. These factors may limit our ability to make new investments and adversely impact our results of operations.
