^{(1) Represents weighted average yield on total debt investments for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Weighted average yield on total debt investments is the annualized rate of interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio during the period. The weighted average yield on total debt investments reflected above does not represent actual investment returns to the Company’s stockholders.}

The Company’s dividend framework provides a quarterly base dividend and may be supplemented, at the discretion of the Board, by additional dividends as determined to be available by the Company’s net investment income and performance during the quarter.

On February 8, 2024, the Board declared a distribution for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $0.12 per share payable on April 5, 2024 to stockholders of record as of March 15, 2024 and a supplemental distribution of $0.03 per share, payable on April 5, 2024, to stockholders of record as of March 15, 2024.

This distribution represents a 16.85% yield on the Company’s $3.56 share price as of market close on December 29, 2023. Distributions may include net investment income, capital gains and/or return of capital, however, the Company does not expect the dividend for the quarter ending December 31, 2023, to be comprised of a return of capital. The Company’s investment adviser monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a return of capital may occur for the year. The Company estimates the source of its distributions as required by Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to determine whether payment of dividends are expected to be paid from any other source other than net investment income accrued for the current period or certain cumulative periods, but the Company will not be able to determine whether any specific distribution will be treated as taxable earnings or as a return of capital until after at the end of the taxable year.

During the quarter, the Company had net advances of $0.3 million on its existing and new delayed draw and revolving credit commitment to portfolio companies.

The Company’s net realized, and unrealized gains and losses accounted for a decrease in the Company’s net investments of approximately $4.4 million, or $0.31 per share. The total net decrease in net assets resulting from operations for the quarter was $2.9 million, or $(0.20) per share.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s investment portfolio consisted of investments in 44 portfolio companies, of which 84.97% were first lien investments and 15.03% were equity, warrants, and other investments.
