The payment of the Monthly Extension Fee was made by Hercules Capital Management Corp, the sponsor of the Company (the “Sponsor”). The Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 (the “Extension Note”) dated January 5, 2026 to the Sponsor in connection with the payment of the Monthly Extension Fee.
