**First Quarter 2026 Operating Results**

Total investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $24.1 million, compared to $24.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to lower interest income on debt investments from a smaller debt investment portfolio.

The Company's dollar-weighted annualized yield on average debt investments for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 15.2% and 15.0%, respectively. The Company calculates the dollar-weighted annualized yield on average debt investments for any period measured as (1) total investment income (excluding dividend income) during the period divided by (2) the average of the fair value of debt investments outstanding on (a) the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the first day of the period and (b) the last day of each calendar month during the period. The dollar-weighted annualized yield on average debt investments is higher than what investors will realize because it does not reflect expenses or any sales load paid by investors.

Total expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were $14.8 million, compared to $13.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in incentive fees, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in interest expense and a $0.1 million decrease in base management fee due to a lower average weighted size of the portfolio in the quarter.

Net investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $9.0 million, or $0.19 per basic share, compared to $10.7 million, or $0.27 per basic share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, net realized loss on investments was $0.2 million, compared to a slight net realized gain on investments for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, net realized loss on extinguishment of debt was $1.4 million, or $0.03 per basic share.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, net unrealized depreciation on investments was $4.6 million, or $0.10 per basic share, compared to net unrealized depreciation on investments of $32.2 million, or $0.80 per basic share, for the prior-year period.

**Portfolio Summary and Investment Activity**

As of March 31, 2026, the Company's debt portfolio consisted of 41 secured loans with an aggregate fair value of $645.6 million. In addition, the Company's total warrant, equity and other investments in 99 portfolio companies had an aggregate fair value of $50.1 million. Total portfolio investment activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

After paying distributions of $0.33 per share and earning net investment income of $0.19 per share for the quarter, the Company's undistributed spillover income as of March 31, 2026 was $0.52 per share. Spillover income includes any ordinary income and net capital gains from the preceding tax years that were not distributed during such tax years.

The Company's board of directors sets the level of distributions for each quarter based on its results of operations, spillover income and longer-term outlook, including expected operating results for the current fiscal year. When declaring distributions, the Company's board of directors reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which may differ from consolidated net income under generally accepted accounting principles due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii) the amount of spillover income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of taxable income for each tax year, as well as the tax attributes for distributions in such tax year, will be made after the close of the tax year.
