 this prospectus, and the documents that we incorporate by reference herein, to reflect any material changes to the information contained herein. The forward -lookingstatements contained in this prospectus, including the documents that we incorporate by reference herein, are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 17 Table of Contents USE OF PROCEEDS We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities pursuant to this prospectus for acquiring investments in accordance with our investment objective and strategies described in this prospectus and for general working capital purposes. We may also pay operating expenses, including advisory and administrative fees and expenses, and may pay other expenses such as due diligence expenses of potential new investments, from the net proceeds of any offering conducted pursuant to this prospectus. We may choose to use the proceeds from any offering to pay distributions, in which case all or part of the distribution could be considered a return of capital if total distributions exceed the Company’s net investment income. Finally, we may also pay down any existing indebtedness and/or redeem outstanding shares of our preferred stock or notes using the proceeds from any offering. We anticipate that substantially all of the net proceeds of any such offering will be used for the above purposes within approximately three months from the consummation of such offering, depending on the availability of appropriate investment opportunities consistent with our investment objective and market conditions. We cannot assure you we will achieve our targeted investment pace. Pending such investments, we will invest the net proceeds primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high -qualityinvestments that mature in one year or less from the date of investment. The management fee payable by us will not be reduced while our assets are invested in such securities. See “Regulation as a Registered Closed -EndManagement Investment Company — Temporary Investments” for additional information about temporary investments we may make while waiting to make longer -terminvestments in pursuit of our investment objective. Any supplement to this prospectus relating to an offering conducted pursuant to this prospectus will more fully identify the use of the proceeds from such offering. 18 Table of Contents
