(1) Represents weighted average yield on total debt investments for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Weighted average yield on total debt investments is the annualized rate of interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio during the period. The weighted average yield on total debt investments reflected above does not represent actual investment returns to the Company’s stockholders.
(2) Includes gross advances to existing revolving credit commitments to portfolio companies and PIK interest.
(3) Includes gross repayments on existing delayed draw and revolving credit commitments to portfolio companies.

Mr. Suhail A. Shaikh said “I am pleased to announce that we delivered a strong quarter, reflecting our focus on maintaining a resilient portfolio and capitalizing on selective opportunities in a challenging market environment. Despite economic uncertainties, we are well-positioned to navigate challenges and consistently deliver value to our shareholders.”

The Company’s dividend framework provides a quarterly base dividend and may be supplemented, at the discretion of the Board, by additional dividends as determined to be available by the Company’s net investment income and performance during the quarter.

On November 6, 2024, the Board declared a distribution for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 of $0.12 per share payable on January 8, 2025 to stockholders of record as of December 20, 2024.

This distribution represents a 15.34% yield on the Company’s $3.13 share price as of market close on September 30, 2024. Distributions may include net investment income, capital gains and/or return of capital, however, the Company does not expect the dividend for the quarter ending September 30, 2024, to be comprised of a return of capital. The Company’s investment adviser monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a return of capital may occur for the year. The Company estimates the source of its distributions as required by Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to determine whether payment of dividends are expected to be paid from any other source other than net investment income accrued for the current period or certain cumulative periods, but the Company will not be able to determine whether any specific distribution will be treated as taxable earnings or as a return of capital until after at the end of the taxable year.

Portfolio and Investment Activities

During the quarter, the Company made investments in three new portfolio companies and three existing portfolio companies. The aggregate capital invested during the quarter totaled $13.1 million, at cost, of which $0.5 million represents the reinstatement of previously recorded paydowns for interest received from Klein Hersh, LLC while it was on non-accrual status. The debt investments were made at a weighted average yield of 10.73%.

The Company received proceeds of $14.2 million from repayments, sales and amortization during the quarter, primarily related to the realization of Retail Services WIS Corporation and South Coast Terminals, LLC.

During the quarter, the Company had net repayments of $7,500 on its existing delayed draw and revolving credit commitments to portfolio companies.

The Company’s net realized, and unrealized gains and losses accounted for an increase in the Company’s net investments of approximately $4.3 million, or $0.30 per share. The total net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the quarter was $6.6 million, or $0.46 per share.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s investment portfolio consisted of investments in 45 portfolio companies, of which 82.47% were first lien investments and 17.53% were equity, warrants, and other investments. The Company’s debt portfolio consisted of 79.9% floating rate investments and 2.6% fixed rate investments.

Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $10.1 million in cash, of which $8.3 million was restricted cash, and $52.5 million of unused and available capacity under its revolving credit facility with Capital One, N.A.
