(22)%
The $1.7 million increase in total investment income in the second quarter of 2025 from the comparable period
of the prior year was principally attributable to (i) a $0.9 million increase in dividend income, primarily due to a
$0.9 million increase in dividend income from the Fund's LMM portfolio investments and a $0.5 million
increase in dividend income from the Company's private loan portfolio companies, partially offset by a $0.4
million decrease in dividend income from the Company's other portfolio companies, (ii) a $0.5 million increase
in interest income, primarily due to higher average levels of income producing investment portfolio debt
investments, partially offset by an increase in investments on non-accrual status and a decrease in interest rates
on floating rate investment portfolio debt investments, primarily resulting from decreases in benchmark index
rates and (iii) a $0.3 million increase in fee income due to changes in investment activity. The $1.7 million
increase in total investment income in the second quarter of 2025 is after the impact of a net decrease of $0.7
million in certain income considered less consistent or non-recurring, primarily related to a $0.3 million
decrease in such fee income and a $0.3 million decrease in such dividend income when compared to the same
period in 2024.
Total expenses, net of waivers, decreased by $1.2 million, or 6.4%, to $18.3 million in the second quarter of
2025 from $19.6 million for the same period in 2024. This decrease was principally attributable to (i) a $0.9
million decrease in interest expense and (ii) a $0.3 million decrease in base management fees. The decrease in
interest expense is primarily due to a decreased weighted-average interest rate on the Fund's Credit Facilities
(as defined in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below) due to decreases in benchmark index rates
and a decrease to the applicable spreads resulting from amendments of the Credit Facilities since the first
quarter of 2024, partially offset by an increase in weighted-average outstanding borrowings used to fund the
growth in the Fund's investment portfolio.
The Fund's ratio of total non-interest operating expenses, excluding incentive fees, as a percentage of quarterly
average total assets, or the Operating Expenses to Assets Ratio, decreased to 1.9% on an annualized basis for
the second quarter of 2025, from 2.2% for the second quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of the decreased base
management fee percentage under the amended advisory agreement effective upon the listing of the Fund's
shares of common stock in January 2025.
3
The $2.9 million increase in net investment income in the second quarter of 2025 from the comparable period of
the prior year was principally attributable to the increase in total investment income and decreased expenses,
each as discussed above. Net investment income per share increased by $0.02 per share for the second quarter
of 2025, as compared to the second quarter of 2024, to $0.35 per share. The per share increase in net investment
income was after the impact of a 17.1% increase in the weighted-average shares outstanding compared to the
second quarter of 2024, primarily due to new shares issued through the Fund's follow-on equity offering in
January 2025 and the dividend reinvestment plan. Net investment income on a per share basis in the second
quarter of 2025 is also after a net decrease of $0.02 per share resulting from a decrease in investment income
considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature compared to the second quarter of 2024, as discussed
above.
The $16.3 million net increase in net assets resulting from operations in the second quarter of 2025 represents a
$1.8 million decrease from the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was primarily the result of a $5.7 million
decrease in the net fair value change of our portfolio investments resulting from the net impact of net realized
gains/losses and net unrealized appreciation/depreciation, with the decrease resulting from a net fair value
increase of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a net fair value increase of $6.5 million in
the prior year, partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in net investment income as discussed above and a $0.9
million benefit from the change in the net tax provision/benefit on the net fair value change of our portfolio
investments resulting from a net tax provision of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a net
tax provision of $1.8 million in the prior year. The $0.9 million net fair value increase in the second quarter of
2025 was the result of a net realized gain of $4.8 million, partially offset by net unrealized depreciation
(including the reversal of net fair value appreciation in prior periods on the net realized gain) of $3.9 million.
The $6.5 million net fair value increase in the second quarter of 2024 was the result of a net realized gain of
$0.3 million and net unrealized appreciation of $6.2 million. The $4.8 million net realized gain from
investments for the second quarter of 2025 was primarily the result of (i) a $5.3 million of realized gain on the
partial exit of an other portfolio investment and (ii) a $0.7 million realized gain on the full exit of a private loan
portfolio investment, partially offset by (i) a $0.8 million realized loss on the restructure of a private loan
portfolio investment and (ii) a $0.3 million realized loss on the partial exit of a private loan portfolio
investment.

Investment Portfolio Information as of June 30, 2025(4)

(a)The Fund had equity ownership in all of its LMM portfolio companies, and the Fund's average fully diluted
equity ownership in those portfolio companies was 9%.
(b)The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates for all debt
investments as of June 30, 2025, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and accretion of
original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt instruments and any debt
investments on non-accrual status, and are weighted based upon the principal amount of each applicable
debt investment as of June 30, 2025.
(c)The average EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is calculated using
a weighted-average for the private loan portfolio and a simple average for the LMM portfolio. These
calculations exclude certain portfolio companies, including four private loan portfolio companies and four
LMM portfolio companies, as EBITDA is not a meaningful valuation metric for the Fund's investments in
5
these portfolio companies, and those portfolio companies whose primary purpose is to own real estate and
those portfolio companies whose primary operations have ceased and only residual value remains.
The Fund's total investment portfolio at fair value consists of approximately 60% private loan, 37% LMM, 2%
middle market and 1% other portfolio investments.
The fair value of the Fund's LMM portfolio company equity investments was 185% of the cost of such equity
investments, and the Fund's LMM portfolio companies had a median net senior debt (senior interest-bearing
debt through the Fund's debt position less cash and cash equivalents) to EBITDA ratio of 2.8 to 1.0 and a
median total EBITDA to senior interest expense ratio of 2.8 to 1.0. Including all debt that is junior in priority to
the Fund's debt position, these median ratios were 2.8 to 1.0 and 2.7 to 1.0, respectively.(4)(5)
As of June 30, 2025, the Fund's investment portfolio also included:
•Middle market portfolio investments in eight portfolio companies, collectively totaling $29.3 million in fair
value and $40.1 million in cost basis, which comprised 2.4% and 3.4% of the Fund's investment portfolio at
fair value and cost, respectively; and
•Other portfolio investments in six entities, spread across four investment managers, collectively totaling
$16.2 million in fair value and $14.9 million in cost basis, both of which comprised 1.3% of the Fund's
investment portfolio at fair value and cost.
As of June 30, 2025, investments on non-accrual status comprised 2.6% of the total investment portfolio at fair
value and 6.3% at cost, and the Fund's total portfolio investments at fair value were 105% of the related cost
basis.
