The weighted average yield on total debt investments reflected above does not represent actual investment returns to the Company’s stockholders.

Mr. Suhail A. Shaikh said “I am pleased to announce that we delivered a strong quarter, reflecting our focus on maintaining a resilient portfolio and capitalizing on selective opportunities in a challenging market environment. Despite economic uncertainties, we are well-positioned to navigate challenges and consistently deliver value to our shareholders.”
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 November 6, 2024, the Board declared a distribution for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 of $0.12 per share payable on January 8, 2025 to stockholders of record as of December 20, 2024.
This distribution represents a 15.34% yield on the Company’s $3.13 share price as of market close on September 30, 2024. 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 September 30, 2024, 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 repayments of $7,500 on its existing delayed draw and revolving credit commitments to portfolio companies.
