\n Core net investment income, as presented, excludes the impact of capital gains incentive fees (reversal) and income taxes, the majority of which are excise taxes. The Company believes presenting core net investment income and the related per share amount is a useful supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance. However, core net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of net investment income in accordance with U.S. GAAP to core net investment income is presented in the table below the financial statements.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n Total realized income is the sum of net investment income, net realized gains (losses) on investments, net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency, and losses on debt extinguishment, all U.S. GAAP measures.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table><\/div>\n

\n The dollar-weighted average annualized effective yield is computed using the effective interest rate for our debt investments and other income producing investments, including cash and\u00a0PIK interest, as well as the accretion of deferred fees. The individual investment yields are then weighted by the respective cost of the investments (as of the date presented) in calculating the weighted average effective yield of the portfolio. The dollar-weighted average annualized yield on the Company’s investments for a given period will generally be higher than what investors in the Company’s common stock would realize in a return over the same period because the dollar-weighted average annualized yield does not reflect the Company’s expenses or any sales load that may be paid by investors.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n The dollar-weighted average yield on total investments takes the same yields as calculated in the footnote above but weights them to determine the weighted average effective yield as a percentage of the Company’s total investments, including non-income producing equity positions and debt investments on non-accrual status.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n Liquidity and Capital Resources<\/i>\n <\/p>\n

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s amended senior secured revolving credit agreement with certain bank lenders and Zions Bancorporation, N.A. dba Amegy Bank, as administrative agent (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Facility”) provided for borrowings in an aggregate amount of up to $335.0 million on a committed basis.

Unless amended or extended by the Board, the Repurchase Program will expire on the earlier of March 2, 2027 or when $20.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased.<\/p>\n

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 274,343 shares of its common stock under the Repurchase Program for an aggregate purchase price of $2,447,682, including commissions, at a weighted average net repurchase price of $8.92 per share.<\/p>\n
