On July 31, 2025, the Company's board of directors authorized an increase to the amount of monthly gross distributions for our common stock, such that distributions in the amount of $0.05250 per share will be paid to stockholders of record on July 31, 2025, August 29, 2025 and September 30, 2025.

The distributions on Class T-R shares, Class D-R shares, Class S-PR shares and Class D-PR shares of our common stock will be reduced by the respective distribution fees that are payable with respect to Class T-R shares, Class D-R shares, Class S-PR shares and Class D-PR shares. The distributions will be paid on or about the last business day of each respective month to stockholders of record as of the close of business on the last business day of each respective month. There can be no assurances that this new distribution rate will be maintained in future periods.
