 of its officers and employees (subject to the reimbursements specified below). Pursuant to our Management Agreement, we pay our Manager a base management fee and, if earned, an incentive fee. Our Manager and its affiliates use the proceeds from the base management fee, in part, to pay compensation to their officers and personnel, including our NEOs (subject to the reimbursements specified below). No specific portion of the base management fee is allocated to the compensation of our NEOs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, our Manager is entitled to reimbursement from us for the costs of the wages, salary and benefits incurred by our Manager for our dedicated Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. The amount of any wages, salary, and benefits paid or reimbursed with respect to our dedicated Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer is subject to the approval of our Compensation Committee. In addition, our Manager is entitled to reimbursement from us for a proportionate amount of the costs of the wages, salary and benefits of our Chief Executive Officer and President based on the percentage of his business time spent on our matters, subject to the approval of our Compensation Committee. However, we have not and do not expect to reimburse our Manager for compensation paid to Mr. Prabhu, who is an equity owner of our Manager, for his service to us as our Chief Executive Officer and President.

Additionally, from time to time, we may grant to our NEOs equity compensation under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan as approved by the Board or our Compensation Committee, which we believe serves to align the interests of our NEOs with the interests of our stockholders in receiving attractive risk-adjusted dividends and growth.

#### Vote Required
This advisory “say-on-pay” vote provides our stockholders an opportunity to express their position on the compensation we pay to our NEOs. This vote is not intended to address any specific element of compensation but rather the overall compensation paid to our NEOs and the policies and practices described in this Proxy.

Statement. For the reasons discussed above, we are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our NEO compensation by voting “ FOR ” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders hereby approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation paid by the Company to its named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
