As of the record date, April 8, 2025, there were 64,868,506.64 outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Reconvened Annual Meeting. At the Reconvened Annual Meeting, it was proposed that the Company adjourn the Reconvened Annual Meeting with respect to "Proposal 2 - Renew Authorization to Offer and Sell Shares of Common Stock Below Net Asset Value," as described in the Company's proxy statement filed on April 21, 2025, to permit additional time to solicit stockholder votes, pursuant to "Proposal 3 - Adjournment of the Annual Meeting." "Proposal 1 - Election of Class III Directors" was approved at the initial annual meeting of stockholders held on May 22, 2025. The final voting result on "Proposal 3 - Adjournment of the Annual Meeting" submitted to stockholders at the Annual Meeting is set forth below.

Proposal 3:

By the vote shown below, the stockholders approved one or more adjournments of the Annual Meeting to solicit additional proxies in favor of any or all of the other proposals set forth in the proxy statement. The approval of the proposal to adjourn required a majority of the votes cast by all stockholders present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting.

Accordingly, on June 12, 2025, the Company adjourned the Reconvened Annual Meeting with respect to "Proposal 2 - Renew Authorization to Offer and Sell Shares of Common Stock Below Net Asset Value" to permit additional time to solicit stockholder votes. The second reconvened meeting (the "Second Reconvened Meeting") will be held virtually on July 15, 2025 at 2:30 p.m., Eastern Time.

The record date of April 8, 2025 will remain the same for the Second Reconvened Meeting.
