^{(1) Represents weighted average yield on total debt investments for the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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.}

Mr. Michael C. Mauer, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, said "The March quarter was a stable quarter for the portfolio that saw significant market volatility. That volatility manifested itself in market spreads and valuation levels.  We saw a slight decrease in NAV primarily driven by the market volatility.  We also executed our second investment under the promise to co-invest in equity positions with Investcorp's North American Private Equity group, with continued momentum under that plan. All of this resulted in a more diverse portfolio with stable income."

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 May 5, 2022, the Board declared a distribution of $0.15 per share for the quarter ending June 30, 2022, payable in cash on July 8, 2022, to stockholders of record as of June 17, 2022.

This distribution represents a 11.56% yield on the Company's $5.19 share price as of market close on March 31, 2022. 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 June 30, 2022, 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.
