Equity

We also access liquidity through our “at-the-market” offering program (the “ATM Program”), pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, additional Common Shares. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold Common Shares for net proceeds of $64.0 million and $248.8 million through our ATM Program. As of June 30, 2025, $439.5 million of Common Shares were available for issuance under the ATM Program.

For additional information on our ATM Program, see “Item 1. Financial Statements—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements —Note 9. Net Assets.”

The following table summarizes our distributions declared and payable for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

With respect to distributions, we have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) for shareholders. As a result, in the event of a declared cash distribution or other distribution, each shareholder that has not “opted out” of the DRIP will have their dividends or distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares rather than receiving cash distributions. Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of shares will be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.

For additional information on our distributions and DRIP, see “Item 1. Financial Statements—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements —Note 9. Net Assets.”

Share Repurchase Plan

In February 2023, our Board approved a share repurchase plan, under which we were authorized to repurchase up to $250.0 million in the aggregate of our outstanding Common Shares in the open market at prices below our NAV per share for a one-year term, in
