Second Quarter 2026 Operating Results

The following table provides a summary of the Fund's operating results for the second quarter of 2026:

The $0.1 million increase in total investment income in the second quarter of 2026 from the comparable period of the prior year was principally attributable to (i) a $0.7 million increase in interest income, primarily due to higher average levels of income producing investment portfolio debt investments, partially offset by a decrease in interest rates, primarily resulting from decreases in benchmark index rates on floating rate investment portfolio debt investments, and the negative impact from investment portfolio debt investments on non-accrual status and (ii) a $0.5 million increase in fee income, primarily due to an increase in fee income from the refinancing and prepayment of investment portfolio debt investments. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in dividend income, primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease in dividend income from the Fund's LMM portfolio companies. The $0.1 million increase in total investment income in the second quarter of 2026 includes the impact of an increase of $1.4 million in certain income considered less consistent or non-recurring, primarily related to increases of (i) $0.7 million in such fee income and (ii) $0.5 million in such dividend income, in each case when compared to the same period in 2025.

Total expenses, net of waivers, increased by $4.0 million, or 21.8%, to $22.3 million in the second quarter of 2026 from $18.3 million for the same period in 2025. This increase was principally attributable to (i) a $2.9 million increase in the ending accrual for the accrued capital gains incentive fee(3) as of June 30, 2026, (ii) a $1.2 million increase in interest expense and (iii) a $0.4 million increase in base management fees, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in incentive fee on income, net of waivers. The increase in the capital gains incentive fee accrual(3) was due to the net fair value appreciation of the Fund's investments in the second quarter of 2026. The increase in interest expense was primarily related to (i) an increase in average borrowings outstanding used to fund a portion of the growth of the Fund's investment portfolio and (ii) an increased weighted-average interest rate on the Fund's unsecured debt obligations, driven by the issuance of the May 2029 Notes in the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by a decreased weighted-average interest rate on the Credit Facilities due to decreases in benchmark floating index interest rates (with the May 2029 Notes and the Credit Facilities each defined in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below). The increase in base management fees was primarily the result of the Fund's increased average total assets. The decrease in incentive fee on income, net of waivers, was the result of (a) a decrease in the gross calculated incentive fee on income of $0.3 million, primarily driven by a decrease in pre-incentive NII, and (b) a $0.3 million voluntary waiver of incentive fee on income by the Adviser (defined below).

The Fund's ratio of total non-interest operating expenses, excluding incentive fees, net of waivers, as a percentage of quarterly average total assets, or the Operating Expenses to Assets Ratio, was 1.9% on an annualized basis for the second quarter of 2026, consistent with the second quarter of 2025.

The $4.3 million decrease in NII in the second quarter of 2026 from the comparable period of the prior year was principally attributable to an increase in total expenses, net of waivers, partially offset by an increase in total investment income, each as discussed above. NII on a per share basis decreased by $0.09 per share for the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the second quarter of 2025, to $0.26 per share, reflecting the impact of the $0.07 per share capital gains incentive fee accrual(3) in the second quarter of 2026.

The $1.4 million, or $0.02 per share, decrease in ANII(1) in the second quarter of 2026 to $14.9 million, or $0.33 per share, from $16.3 million, or $0.35 per share, in the second quarter of 2025 was principally attributable to the same factors noted above for the change in NII, but excluding the impact of the $2.9 million increase in the capital gains incentive fee accrual.(3)

The per share changes in NII and ANII(1) in the second quarter of 2026 from the comparable period of the prior year include the impact of a 3.6% decrease in the weighted-average shares outstanding, primarily due to shares repurchased by the Fund, partially offset by shares issued through the dividend reinvestment plan, in each case since the beginning of the comparable period of the prior year. NII and ANII(1) on a per share basis in the second quarter of 2026 each include an increase of $0.03 per share resulting from an increase in investment income considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature compared to the second quarter of 2025, as discussed above.

The $29.3 million net increase in net assets resulting from operations in the second quarter of 2026 represents a $13.0 million increase from the second quarter of 2025. This increase was primarily the result of an $18.1 million increase in the net fair value change of the Fund's portfolio investments resulting from the net impact of net realized gains/losses and net unrealized appreciation/depreciation, with the increase resulting from a net fair value increase of $19.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to a net fair value increase of $0.9 million in the comparable period of the prior year, partially offset by (i) a $4.3 million decrease in NII as discussed above and (ii) a $0.8 million increase in the net tax provision on the net fair value change of the portfolio investments, resulting from a net tax provision of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to a net tax provision of $0.9 million in the comparable period of the prior year. The $19.0 million net fair value increase in the second quarter of 2026 was the result of a net realized gain of $9.9 million and net unrealized appreciation (including the reversal of net fair value appreciation recognized in prior periods due to the net realized gain in the quarter) of $9.1 million. 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 of $3.9 million. The $9.9 million net realized gain from investments for the second quarter of 2026 was primarily the result of an $11.6 million realized gain on the full exit of a LMM portfolio investment, partially offset by a $1.
