 required to pay an income based incentive fee of 17.5% (15% prior to the consummation of the IPO), with a 1.5% hurdle and 100% catch-up. However, the Adviser implemented a voluntary waiver with respect to the income based incentive fee during the Waiver Period. The Adviser voluntarily waived its right to receive an income based incentive fee above 15% during the Waiver Period and amounts waived by the Adviser are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser.The Company pays the Adviser an income based incentive fee based on its aggregate pre-incentive fee net investment income, as adjusted as described above, from the calendar quarter then ending and the eleven preceding calendar quarters (such period, the “Trailing Twelve Quarters”).The hurdle amount for the income based incentive fee is determined on a quarterly basis and is equal to 1.5% multiplied by the Company’s NAV at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The hurdle amount is calculated after making appropriate adjustments for issuances by the Company of Common Shares, including issuances pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) and distributions that occurred during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The income based incentive fee for any partial period will be appropriately prorated.For the income based incentive fee, the Company will pay the Adviser a quarterly incentive fee based on the amount by which (A) aggregate pre-incentive fee net investment income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters exceeds (B) the hurdle amount for such Trailing Twelve Quarters. The amount of the excess of (A) over (B) described in this paragraph for such Trailing Twelve Quarters is referred to as the “Excess Income Amount.”The income based incentive fee for each quarter will be determined as follows:•No income based incentive fee is payable to the Adviser for any calendar quarter for which there is no Excess Income Amount.
