$0.30 per share of net investment income, net of taxes, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $0.29 per share in the previous quarter. Both credit quality and capital structure of portfolio companies are key factors in our analysis, along with the quality of the ownership and management groups. As fundamental long-term investors, we believe it is imperative to remain disciplined and underwrite capital structures which will remain sound through economic cycles (and varying interest rate environments). We also seek to maintain a high level of portfolio diversification overall, looking at both industry and individual credit concentration. This approach has historically generated stable returns and relative stability during economic stress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share, payable on June 12, 2026 to shareholders of record on May 29, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\nDuring the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Trust reported total investment income of 8.6 million , net investment income of $6.1 million , or $0.30 per share, and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $4.6 million or $0.10 per share.<\/p>\n<p>\nNet asset value (&#8220;NAV&#8221;) per share as of March 31, 2026, was $16.71 as compared to $16.63 as of December 31, 2025. The change in NAV per share was primarily attributable to net investment income, net of taxes, of $0.30 per share, net unrealized depreciation on the Trust\u2019s investment portfolio of approximately $0.13 per share, and net realized losses of $0.10 per share.<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">Recent Portfolio Activity<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nDuring the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Trust made 7 new private investments totaling $9.5 million and 50 add-on investments in existing portfolio companies totaling $9.9 million. The Trust made 12 new public investments totaling $15.2 million.<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">Liquidity and Capitalization<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAs of March 31, 2026, the Trust had cash of $15.6 million and $75 million of borrowings outstanding, representing leverage of 0.19x. The Trust had unfunded commitments of $53.9 million as of March 31, 2026.<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">Net Capital Gains<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Trust realized net capital losses of $2.0 million or $0.10 per share during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
