From time to time, the Company may have a registration statement relating to one or more of its securities on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Any registration statement that has not yet been declared effective by the SEC, and any prospectus relating thereto, is not complete and may be changed.

The information and its contents are the property of Eagle Point Income Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and/or the Company. Any unauthorized dissemination, copying or use of this presentation is strictly prohibited and may be in violation of law. This presentation is being provided for informational purposes only.
Investors should read the Company’s prospectus and SEC filings (which are publicly available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov) carefully and consider their investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance before investing in the Company.

There is no guarantee that any of the goals, targets or objectives described in this report will be achieved.
An investment in the Company is not appropriate for all investors. The investment program of the Company is speculative, entails substantial risk and includes investment techniques not employed by traditional mutual funds. An investment in the Company is not intended to be a complete investment program. Shares of closed-end investment companies, such as the Company, frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value (“NAV”), which may increase investors’ risk of loss. Past performance is not indicative of, or a guarantee of, future performance. The performance and certain other portfolio information quoted herein represents information as of September 30, 2023. Nothing herein shall be relied upon as a representation as to the future performance or portfolio holdings of the Company. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Company’s performance is subject to change since the end of the period noted in this report and may be lower or higher than the performance data shown herein.
Neither the Adviser nor the Company provides legal, accounting or tax advice. Any statement regarding such matters is explanatory and may not be relied upon as definitive advice. Investors should consult with their legal, accounting and tax advisers regarding any potential investment. The information presented herein is as of the dates noted and is derived from financial and other information of the Company, and, in certain cases, from third party sources and reports (including reports of third party custodians, CLO collateral managers and trustees) that have not been independently verified by the Company. As noted herein, certain of this information is estimated and unaudited, and therefore subject to change. The Company does not represent that such information is accurate or complete, and it should not be relied upon as such. This report does not purport to be complete and no obligation to update or revise any information herein is being assumed.

(1) | The Company is not affiliated with, nor does it "control" (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")), any of the issuers listed. In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to "control" an issuer if we owned 25% or more of its voting securities. | |
(2) | All securities are exempt from registration under the securities act of 1933, are deemed to be "restricted" securities and are categorized as structured finance securities. | |
(3) | Pursuant to the terms of the credit facility agreement, a security interest in favor of the lender has been granted with respect to all investments. See Note 9 "Revolving Credit Facility" for further discussion. | |
(4) | Acquisition date represents the initial purchase date or the date when the investment was contributed to the Company. See Note 1 "Organization" for further discussion. | |
(5) | Fair value is determined by the Adviser in accordance with written valuation policies and procedures, subject to oversight by the Company’s Board of Directors, in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. | |
(6) | CLO debt and CFO debt positions reflect interest rates as of the reporting date. | |
(7) | The fair value of the investments were determined using significant, unobservable inputs. See Note 3 "Investments" for further discussion. | |
(8) | CLO equity and CFO equity are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow of payments made by underlying assets less contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses. The effective yield is estimated based on the current projection of the amount and timing of these recurring distributions in addition to the estimated amount of terminal principal payment. The effective yield and investment cost may ultimately not be realized. As of September 30, 2023, the Company's weighted average effective yield on its aggregate CLO equity positions, based on current amortized cost, was 17.13%. | |
(9) | Fair value includes the Company's interest in fee rebates on CLO equity. | |
(10) | The Company has accounted for its 5.00% Series A Term Preferred Stock and 7.75% Series B Term Preferred Stock due 2028 utilizing the fair value option election under ASC Topic 825. Accordingly, the Series A Term Preferred Stock and Series B Term Preferred Stock are carried at its fair value. See Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion. | |
(11) | This investment has an unfunded commitment as of September 30, 2023. |

1. | ORGANIZATION |
Eagle Point Income Company Inc. (the “Company”) is an externally managed, diversified closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s primary investment objective is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation. The Company seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations, or “CLOs,” that are collateralized by a portfolio consisting primarily of below investment grade U.S. senior secured loans with a large number of distinct underlying borrowers across various industry sectors. The Company focuses on CLO debt tranches rated “BB” (e.g., BB+, BB or BB-, or their equivalent) by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or “Moody’s,” Standard & Poor’s, or “S&P,” or Fitch Ratings, Inc., or “Fitch,” and/or other applicable nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. The Company may invest up to 35% of its total assets (at the time of investment) in unrated CLO equity securities and related securities and instruments. The Company may also invest in other junior debt tranches of CLOs, senior debt tranches of CLOs, loan accumulation facilities (“LAF”) and other related securities and instruments. The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “EIC”.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Eagle Point Income Company Sub II (Cayman) Ltd. (the “Cayman Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, and Eagle Point Income Company Sub (US) LLC (the “US Subsidiary), a Delaware limited liability company (together the “Subsidiaries”). As of September 30, 2023, the US Subsidiary and the Cayman Subsidiary represented 0.1% and 0.0% of the Company’s net assets.
The Company was initially formed on September 28, 2018 as EP Income Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Company commenced operations on October 4, 2018, the date Eagle Point Income Management LLC (the “Adviser”) contributed $100,000 in exchange for 100 units of the Company and Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited (“Cavello Bay” and collectively with the Adviser, the “Members”) contributed to the Company, at fair value, the entire portfolio of BB-rated CLO debt held in a separately managed account managed by an affiliate of the Adviser, totaling $75,051,650, inclusive of accrued interest of $1,371,697, in exchange for 75,051.65 units of the Company. Cavello Bay is a subsidiary of Enstar Group Limited, or “Enstar.”
On October 16, 2018, the Company converted from a Delaware limited liability company into a Delaware corporation (the “Conversion”). At the time of the Conversion, the Members became stockholders of Eagle Point Income Company Inc. In connection with the Conversion, the Members converted 75,151.65 units of the Delaware limited liability company into shares of common stock in the Delaware corporation at $20 per share, resulting in 3,769,596 shares and an effective conversion rate of approximately 50.15985069 per unit.
On July 23, 2019, the Company priced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and sold an additional 1,200,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $19.89 per share. On July 24, 2019, the Company’s shares began trading on the NYSE. On August 2, 2019, the Company sold an additional 162,114 shares pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option granted to them in connection with the IPO at a public offering price of $19.89 per share.
Computershare Trust Company , N.A. serves as the Company’s custodian.
The Company intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for federal income tax purposes.
The Adviser is the investment adviser of the Company and manages the investments of the Company subject to the supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Accounting
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company is considered an investment company under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. Items included in the consolidated financial statements are measured and presented in United States dollars.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of the reporting date. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Investments
The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has elected to designate the Adviser as “valuation designee” to perform fair value determinations in respect of the Company’s portfolio investments that do not have readily available market quotations. In the absence of readily available market quotations, as defined by Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Adviser determines the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with its valuation policy, subject to Board oversight. Due to the uncertainty of valuation, this estimate may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
There is no single method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments held by the Company.
The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and fair values its investment portfolio in accordance with the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. Investments are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Fair value is the estimated amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act adopted by the SEC in December 2020, the Board has designated the Adviser to perform the determination of fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio, subject to Board oversight and certain other conditions.
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, the characteristics specific to the investment and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants). Investments with readily available actively quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market, will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories based on inputs:
● | Level I – Observable, quoted prices for identical investments in active markets as of the reporting date. |
● | Level II – Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets or quoted prices for identical investments in markets that are not active as of the reporting date. |
● | Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and little, if any, active market exists as of the |

reporting date. Fair value inputs require significant judgment or estimation from the Adviser.
In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given investment is based on the lowest level of input significant to that fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the investment.
Investments for which observable, quoted prices in active markets do not exist are reported at fair value based on Level III inputs. The amount determined to be fair value may incorporate the Adviser’s own assumptions (including assumptions the Adviser believes market participants would use in valuing investments and assumptions relating to appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and lack of marketability), as provided for in the Adviser’s valuation policy.
An estimate of fair value is made for each investment at least monthly taking into account information available as of the reporting date. For financial reporting purposes, valuations are determined by the Adviser on a quarterly basis.
See Note 3 “Investments” for further discussion relating to the Company’s investments.
In valuing the Company’s investments the Adviser considers a variety of relevant factors, including, as applicable, price indications from a third-party pricing service, recent trading prices for specific investments, recent purchases and sales known to the Adviser in similar securities and output from a third-party financial model. The third-party financial model contains detailed information on the characteristics of CLOs, including recent information about assets and liabilities, and is used to project future cash flows. Key inputs to the model, including but not limited to assumptions for future loan default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and discount rates are determined by considering both observable and third-party market data and prevailing general market assumptions and conventions as well as those of the Adviser.
A third-party independent valuation firm is used as an input by the Adviser to determine the fair value of the Company’s investments in CLO equity. The valuation firm’s advice is only one factor considered in the valuation of such investments, and the Adviser does not solely rely on such advice in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with the 1940 Act.
Other Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities at Fair Value
The Fair Value Option (“FVO”) under FASB ASC Subtopic 825-10, Fair Value Option (“ASC 825”), allows companies to make an irrevocable election to use fair value as the initial and subsequent accounting measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities. The decision to elect the FVO is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis and must be applied to an entire instrument. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be reported separately from those instruments measured using another accounting method and changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk on financial liabilities for which the FVO is elected are required to be presented separately in other comprehensive income. Additionally, upfront offering costs related to such instruments are recognized in earnings as incurred and are not deferred.
The Company elected to account for its 5.00% Series A Term Preferred Stock due 2026 (the “Series A Term Preferred Stock”) and its 7.75% Series B Term Preferred Stock due 2028 (“Series B Term Preferred Stock”, and collectively with the Series A Term Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) utilizing the FVO under ASC 825. The primary reason for electing the FVO is to reflect economic events in the same period in which they are incurred and address simplification of reporting and presentation.
Investment Income Recognition
Interest income from investments in CLO debt and collateralized fund obligation (“CFO”) debt is recorded using the accrual basis of accounting to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. Interest income on such investments is generally expected to be received in cash. The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”), in
12 |
Eagle Point Income Company Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
calculating amortization of premium for applicable investments. Amortization of premium or accretion of discount is recognized using the effective interest method.
In certain circumstances interest income may be paid in the form of additional investment principal, often referred to as payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. PIK interest is included in interest income and interest receivable through the payment date. The PIK interest rate represents the coupon rate at payment date when PIK interest is received. On the payment date, interest receivable is capitalized as additional investment principal in the investment. To the extent the Company does not believe it will ultimately be able to collect PIK interest, the investment will be placed on non-accrual status, and previously recorded PIK interest income will be reversed.
CLO equity investments, fee rebates and CFO equity recognize investment income for U.S. GAAP purposes on the accrual basis utilizing an effective interest methodology based upon an effective yield to maturity utilizing projected cash flows. ASC Topic 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, requires investment income from such investments to be recognized under the effective interest method, with any difference between cash distributed and the amount calculated pursuant to the effective interest method being recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of the investment. It is the Adviser’s policy to update the effective yield for each CLO equity and fee rebate position held within the Company’s portfolio at the initiation of each investment and each subsequent quarter thereafter.
Other Income
Other income includes the Company’s share of income under the terms of fee rebate agreements and commitment fee income.
Interest Expense
Interest expense includes the Company’s distributions associated with its Series A Term Preferred Stock, Series B Term Preferred Stock and amounts due under the credit facility agreement in relation to the outstanding borrowings and unused commitment fees.
Interest expense also includes the Company’s amortization of original issue premiums and discounts associated with its Preferred Stock.
The following table summarizes the components of interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:
Series A Term Preferred Stock | Series B Term Preferred Stock | Revolving Credit Facility | Total | |||||||||||||
Distributions declared and paid | $ | 1,426,550 | $ | 456,343 | $ | — | $ | 1,882,893 | ||||||||

$ | 1,417,312 | $ | 456,373 | $ | 92,952 | $ | 1,966,637 |
Interest expense is recorded as an expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company’s Preferred Stock has no interest payable as of September 30, 2023.
Please refer to Note 6 “Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock” and Note 9 “Revolving Credit Facility” for further discussion relating to the Preferred Stock issuances and on the interest expense due under the credit facility agreement, respectively.
Original Issue Discounts and Premiums
Original issue discounts and premiums on liabilities consist of discounts or premiums recorded in connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock as part of the Company’s at-the-market (“ATM”) program, consistent with FASB ASC Topic 835-30-35-2. The original issue discounts and premiums are capitalized at the time of issuance and amortized using the effective interest method over the respective terms of each of the Preferred Stock. Amortization of original issue discounts and premiums are reflected as an expense and a contra expense within interest expense in

the Consolidated Statement of Operations, respectively.
Securities Transactions
The Company records the purchases and sales of securities on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of the specific identification method.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The Company maintains its cash in a bank account which, at times, may exceed federal insured limits. The Adviser monitors the performance of the financial institution where the account is held in order to manage any risk associated with such account.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company held cash in a Computershare Corporate Trust interest earning cash deposit account with a balance of $489. This account is classified as Level I in the fair value hierarchy.
Expense Recognition
Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses consist primarily of filing fees, shelf registration expenses, ATM program expenses and the Committed Equity Financing (as defined in Note 5 “Common Stock”) expenses. Prepaid shelf registration expenses, ATM program expenses and Committed Equity Financing expenses represent fees and expenses incurred in connection with the initial registration of the Company’s current shelf registration, ATM program and the Committed Equity Financing. Such costs are allocated pro-rata based on the amount issued relative to the total respective offering amount to paid-in-capital or expense depending on the security being issued pursuant to the shelf registration, ATM program and the Committed Equity Financing. Any subsequent costs incurred to maintain the Company’s ATM program and the Committed Equity Financing are expensed as incurred.
Any unallocated prepaid expense balance associated with the shelf registration, ATM program and the Committed Equity Financing are accelerated into expense at the earlier of the end of the program period or at the effective date of a new shelf registration or ATM program.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility (refer to Note 9 “Revolving Credit Facility”). Deferred financing costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility, and are reflected in borrowings under the credit facility on the Consolidated Statement of Asset and Liabilities (if any). Amortization of deferred financing costs are recorded as an expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.
Offering Expenses
Offering expenses associated with the issuance and sale of shares of common stock, inclusive of expenses incurred associated with offerings under the ATM program, are charged to paid-in capital at the time the shares are sold in accordance with guidance noted in FASB ASC Topic 946-20-25-5, Investment Companies – Investment Company Activities – Recognition, during the period incurred.
Federal and Other Taxes
The Company intends to continue to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code and, as such, to not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, among other requirements, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code.
Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from U.S. GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated
14 |
Eagle Point Income Company Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax basis components of distributable earnings may differ from the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities due to temporary book/tax differences arising primarily from partnerships and passive foreign investment company investments.
As of September 30, 2023, the federal income tax cost and net unrealized depreciation on securities were as follows:
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ | 231,544,154 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ | 1,342,501 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation | (26,232,080 | ) | ||
Net unrealized depreciation | $ | (24,889,579 | ) |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $51,780 in Delaware franchise tax expense related to the 2023 tax year, which was offset by $55,413 of excise tax refund related to the 2022 tax year, and is reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Distributions
The composition of distributions paid to common stockholders from net investment income and capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions to common stockholders and are comprised of net investment income, net realized capital gains and return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are intended to be paid monthly. Distributions payable to common stockholders are recorded as a liability on ex-dividend date. Unless a common stockholder opts out of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”), distributions are automatically reinvested in full shares of the Company as of the payment date, pursuant to the DRIP. The Company’s common stockholders who opt-out of participation in the DRIP (including those common stockholders whose shares are held through a broker who has opted out of participation in the DRIP) generally will receive all distributions in cash.
In addition to the regular monthly distributions, and subject to available taxable earnings of the Company, the Company may make periodic special and/or supplemental distributions representing the excess of the Company’s net taxable income over the Company’s aggregate monthly distributions paid during the year (or for other purposes).
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company declared and paid monthly distributions on common stock of approximately $12.6 million or $1.44 per share.
The characterization of distributions paid to common stockholders, as set forth in the Financial Highlights, reflect estimates made by the Company for federal income tax purposes. Such estimates are subject to change once the final determination of the source of all distributions has been made by the Company.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company declared and paid dividends on the Series A Term Preferred Stock of approximately $1.4 million or approximately $0.94 per share of Series A Term Preferred Stock.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company declared and paid dividends on the Series B Term Preferred Stock of approximately $0.5 million or approximately $0.35 per share of Series B Term Preferred Stock.

Valuation of CLO Debt
The Company’s investments in CLO debt have been valued using an independent pricing service. The valuation methodology of the independent pricing service includes incorporating data comprised of observable market transactions, executable bids, broker quotes from dealers with two sided markets, as well as transaction activity from comparable securities to those being valued. As the independent pricing service contemplates real time market data and no unobservable inputs or significant judgment has been used by the Adviser in the valuation of the Company’s investment in CLO debt, such positions are considered Level II assets.
Valuation of CLO Equity
The Adviser utilizes the output of a third-party financial model to estimate the fair value of CLO equity investments. The model contains detailed information on the characteristics of each CLO, including recent information about assets and liabilities from data sources such as trustee reports, and is used to project future cash flows to the CLO note tranches, as well as management fees.
The Adviser categorizes CLO equity as Level III investments. Certain pricing inputs may be unobservable. An active market may exist, but not necessarily for CLO equity investments the Company holds as of the reporting date.
Valuation of CFO Debt and CFO Equity
The Adviser engages a nationally recognized independent valuation agent to determine fair value of the CFO debt and CFO equity held by the Company. The independent valuation agent performs a discounted cash flow analysis, or other valuation technique appropriate for the facts and circumstances, to determine the fair value of such investments, ultimately providing a high and low valuation for each investment. The final valuation recorded is within the high and low band provided by the valuation agent. Given the illiquidity of these investments and lack of observable inputs, the Adviser categorizes these investments as Level III investments.

Valuation of Preferred Stock
The Preferred Stock is considered a Level I security and is valued at the official closing price, taken from the NYSE.
Investment Risk Factors
The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the potential risks associated with the Company. The Company’s prospectus provides a detailed discussion of the Company’s risks and considerations. The risks described in the prospectus are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that are currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Risks of Investing in CLOs and Other Structured Debt Securities
CLOs and other structured finance securities are generally backed by a pool of credit-related assets that serve as collateral. Accordingly, CLO and structured finance securities present risks similar to those of other types of credit investments, including default (credit), interest rate and prepayment risks. In addition, CLOs and other structured finance securities are often governed by a complex series of legal documents and contracts, which increases the risk of dispute over the interpretation and enforceability of such documents relative to other types of investments.
Subordinated Securities Risk
CLO junior debt and equity securities that the Company may acquire are subordinated to more senior tranches of CLO debt. CLO junior debt and equity securities are subject to increased risks of default relative to the holders of superior priority interests in the same CLO. In addition, at the time of issuance, CLO equity securities are under-collateralized in that the face amount of the CLO debt and CLO equity of a CLO at inception exceed its total assets. The Company will typically be in a subordinated or first loss position with respect to realized losses on the underlying assets held by the CLOs in which the Company is invested.
High-Yield Investment Risk
The CLO junior debt and equity securities that the Company acquires are typically rated below investment grade or, in the case of CLO equity securities, unrated and are therefore considered “higher-yield” or “junk” securities and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. The senior secured loans and other credit-related assets underlying CLOs are also typically higher-yield investments. Investing in CLO junior debt and equity securities and other high-yield investments involves greater credit and liquidity risk than investment grade obligations, which may adversely impact the Company’s performance.
Leverage Risk
The use of leverage, whether directly or indirectly through investments such as CLO junior debt and equity securities that inherently involve leverage, may magnify the Company’s risk of loss. CLO junior debt and equity securities are very highly leveraged (with CLO equity securities typically being leveraged ten times), and therefore the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to a higher degree of loss since the use of leverage magnifies losses.
Credit Risk
If (1) a CLO in which the Company invests, (2) an underlying asset of any such CLO or (3) any other type of credit investment in the Company’s portfolio declines in price or fails to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer or debtor, as the case may be, experiences a decline in its financial status, the Company’s income, net asset value (“NAV”) and/or market price would be adversely impacted.
Key Personnel Risk
The Company is dependent upon the key personnel of the Adviser for its future success.
Conflicts of Interest Risk
The Company’s executive officers and directors, and the Adviser and certain of its affiliates and their officers and employees, including the Senior Investment Team, have several conflicts of interest as a result of the other activities in which they engage.

Prepayment Risk
The assets underlying the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment by the underlying corporate borrowers. As such, the CLO securities and related investments in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment risk. If the Company or a CLO collateral manager are unable to reinvest prepaid amounts in a new investment with an expected rate of return at least equal to that of the investment repaid, the Company’s investment performance will be adversely impacted.
LIBOR Risk
The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is no longer published by its administrator as of June 30, 2023. LIBOR and other inter-bank lending rates and indices have been the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform due to concerns around their susceptibility to manipulation. Most, but not all, LIBOR settings have transitioned to alternative near risk-free rates, including Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR, which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR and measures the cost of overnight borrowings through repurchase agreement transactions collateralized with U.S. Treasury securities) and the Sterling Overnight Index Average Rate (SONIA, which is intended to replace pound sterling LIBOR and measures the overnight interest rate paid by banks for unsecured transactions in the sterling market). Although LIBOR has ceased to be published, certain CLO securities in which the Company may invest continue to earn interest at (or, from the perspective of the Company as CLO equity investor, obtain financing at) a floating rate based on a synthetically calculated LIBOR.
Furthermore, certain senior secured loans that constitute the collateral of the CLOs in which the Company invests may continue to pay interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR (or a “synthetic” calculation of LIBOR which is currently expected to continue to be published until September 30, 2024) or may convert to a fixed rate of interest. To the extent that any LIBOR replacement rate utilized for senior secured loans differs from that utilized for debt of a CLO that holds those loans, for the duration of such mismatch, the CLO would experience an interest rate mismatch between its assets and liabilities, which could have an adverse impact on the cash flows distributed to CLO equity investors (and, therefore, the Company’s net investment income and portfolio returns) until such mismatch is corrected or minimized.
Certain underlying loans held by CLOs do not include a “fall back” provision that addresses how interest rates will be determined once LIBOR stops being published, or otherwise leave certain aspects of the replacement rate to be negotiated between the loan issuer and the lender group. For example, certain loans held by CLOs in which the Company invests provide for a negotiated “credit spread adjustment” (i.e., a marginal increase in the applicable replacement rate to compensate lenders for the tendency of SOFR and other alternative rates to price lower than LIBOR). If a CLO’s collateral manager and other members of the lending group agree to (or fail to reject) an amendment to an underlying loan that provides for a below-market spread adjustment, then the equity investors in such CLO (such as the Company) would be disadvantaged if the debt securities issued by the CLO have a larger spread adjustment. While LIBOR has ceased to be published, the replacement rate used for such underlying loans may not be known until the interest rate is reset for the next accrual period.
Given the foregoing, the impact of LIBOR transition on the Company’s net investment income and overall portfolio returns remains uncertain.
Liquidity Risk
Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments in which the Company invests. As such, the Company may not be able to sell such investments quickly, or at all. If the Company is able to sell such investments, the prices the Company receives may not reflect the Adviser’s assessment of their fair value or the amount paid for such investments by the Company.
Management Fee Risk
The Company’s management fee structure may incentivize the Adviser to use leverage in a manner that adversely impacts the Company’s performance.
Fair Valuation of the Company’s Portfolio Investments
Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments in which the Company invests. The Adviser values

(Unaudited)
these securities at least quarterly, or more frequently as may be required from time to time, at fair value. The Adviser’s determinations of the fair value of the Company’s investments have a material impact on the Company’s net earnings through the recording of unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and may cause the Company’s NAV on a given date to understate or overstate, possibly materially, the value that the Company ultimately realizes on one or more of the Company’s investments.
Limited Investment Opportunities Risk
The market for CLO securities is more limited than the market for other credit related investments. The Company can offer no assurances that sufficient investment opportunities for the Company’s capital will be available.
Market Risk
Political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Company’s investments. A disruption or downturn in the capital markets and the credit markets could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital, reduce the availability of suitable investment opportunities for the Company, or adversely and materially affect the value of the Company’s investments, any of which would negatively affect the Company’s business. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain, and could affect companies worldwide.
Banking Risk
The possibility of future bank failures poses risks of reduced financial market liquidity at clearing, cash management and other custodial financial institutions. The failure of banks which hold cash on behalf of the Company, the Company's underlying obligors, the collateral managers of the CLOs in which the Company invests, or the Company’s service providers could adversely affect the Company’s ability to pursue its investment strategies and objectives. For example, if an underlying obligor has a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, such company may experience delays or other disruptions in meeting its obligations and consummating business transactions. Additionally, if a collateral manager has a commercial relationship with a distressed bank, the manager may experience issues conducting its operations or consummating transactions on behalf of the CLOs it manages, which could negatively affect the performance of such CLOs (and, therefore, the performance of the Company).
Loan Accumulation Facilities Risk
The Company may invest in LAFs, which are short to medium term facilities often provided by the bank that will serve as placement agent or arranger on a CLO transaction and which acquire loans on an interim basis which are expected to form part of the portfolio of a future CLO. Investments in LAFs have risks similar to those applicable to investments in CLOs. Leverage is typically utilized in such a facility and as such the potential risk of loss will be increased for such facilities employing leverage. In the event a planned CLO is not consummated, or the loans are not eligible for purchase by the CLO, the Company may be responsible for either holding or disposing of the loans. This could expose the Company to credit and/or mark-to-market losses, and other risks.
Synthetic Investments Risk
The Company may invest in synthetic investments, such as significant risk transfer securities and credit risk transfer securities issued by banks or other financial institutions, or acquire interests in lease agreements that have the general characteristics of loans and are treated as loans for withholding tax purposes. In addition to the credit risks associated with the applicable reference assets, the Company will usually have a contractual relationship only with the counterparty of such synthetic investment, and not with the reference obligor of the reference asset. Accordingly, the Company generally will have no right to directly enforce compliance by the reference obligor with the terms of the reference asset nor will it have any rights of setoff against the reference obligor or rights with respect to the reference asset. The Company will not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the reference asset and will not have the benefit of the remedies that would normally be available to a holder of such reference asset. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the counterparty, the Company may be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the reference asset.

Currency Risk
Although the Company primarily makes investments denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company may make investments denominated in other currencies. The Company’s investments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be subject to the risk that the value of such currency will decrease in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Company may or may not hedge currency risk.
Hedging Risk
Hedging transactions seeking to reduce risks may result in poorer overall performance than if the Company had not engaged in such hedging transactions. Additionally, such transactions may not fully hedge the Company’s risks.
Reinvestment Risk
CLOs will typically generate cash from asset repayments and sales that may be reinvested in substitute assets, subject to compliance with applicable investment tests. If the CLO collateral manager causes the CLO to purchase substitute assets at a lower yield than those initially acquired or sale proceeds are maintained temporarily in cash, it would reduce the excess interest-related cash flow, thereby having a negative effect on the fair value of the Company’s assets and the market value of the Company’s securities. In addition, the reinvestment period for a CLO may terminate early, which would cause the holders of the CLO’s securities to receive principal payments earlier than anticipated. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reinvest such amounts in an alternative investment that provides a comparable return relative to the credit risk assumed.
Interest Rate Risk
The price of certain of the Company’s investments may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, including recent increases in interest rates.
Refinancing Risk
If the Company incurs debt financing and subsequently refinance such debt, the replacement debt may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions. If the Company fails to extend, refinance or replace such debt financings prior to their maturity on commercially reasonable terms, the Company’s liquidity will be lower than it would have been with the benefit of such financings, which would limit the Company’s ability to grow, and holders of the Company’s common stock would not benefit from the potential for increased returns on equity that incurring leverage creates.
Tax Risk
If the Company fails to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for any reason, or otherwise becomes subject to corporate income tax, the resulting corporate taxes (and any related penalties) could substantially reduce the Company’s net assets, the amount of income available for distributions to the Company’s stockholders, and the amount of income available for payment of the Company’s other liabilities.
Derivatives Risk
Derivative instruments in which the Company may invest may be volatile and involve various risks different from, and in certain cases greater than, the risks presented by other instruments. The primary risks related to derivative transactions include counterparty, correlation, liquidity, leverage, volatility, over-the-counter trading, operational and legal risks. In addition, a small investment in derivatives could have a large potential impact on the Company’s performance, effecting a form of investment leverage on the Company’s portfolio. In certain types of derivative transactions, the Company could lose the entire amount of the Company’s investment; in other types of derivative transactions the potential loss is theoretically unlimited.
Counterparty Risk
The Company may be exposed to counterparty risk, which could make it difficult for the Company or the CLOs in which the Company invests to collect on obligations, thereby resulting in potentially significant losses.
Global Economy Risk
Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market.

Price Risk
Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Global Risks
Due to highly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value of the Company’s securities and its underlying investments may go up or down in response to governmental actions and/or general economic conditions throughout the world. Events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact the Company and its investments.
4. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
Investment Adviser
On October 5, 2018, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser, for its services, a management fee equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of the Company’s “Managed Assets”. Managed Assets are defined as the Company’s total assets (including assets attributable to the Company’s use of leverage) minus the sum of the Company’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities incurred for the purpose of creating leverage). The management fee is calculated monthly and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s Managed Assets at the end of each calendar month. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company was charged a management fee of approximately $1.6 million, of which $0.6 million was payable as of September 30, 2023.
Administrator
Effective October 5, 2018, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator, an affiliate of the Adviser. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or arranges for the performance of, the Company’s required administrative services, which include being responsible for the financial records which the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports which are disseminated to the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the Administrator provides the Company with accounting services, assists the Company in determining and publishing its NAV, oversees the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns, monitors the Company’s compliance with tax laws and regulations, and prepares and assists the Company with any audits by an independent public accounting firm of the consolidated financial statements. The Administrator is also responsible for printing and disseminating reports to the Company’s stockholders and maintaining the Company’s website, providing support to investor relations, generally overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others, and providing such other administrative services as the Company may from time to time designate.
Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon the Company’s allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation of the Company’s chief compliance officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer and the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation of any related support staff. The Company’s allocable portion of such compensation is based on an allocation of the time spent on the Company relative to other matters. To the extent the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Company pays the fees on a direct basis, without profit to the Administrator. Certain accounting and other administrative services have been delegated by the Administrator to SS&C Technologies, Inc. (“SS&C”). The Administration Agreement may be terminated by the Company without penalty upon not less than sixty days’ written notice to the Administrator and by the Administrator upon not less than ninety days’ written notice to the Company. The Administration Agreement is approved by the Board, including by a majority of the Company’s independent directors, on an annual basis.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company was charged a total of approximately $0.43 million in administration fees consisting of approximately $0.33 million and $0.10 million, relating to services provided by the Administrator and SS&C, respectively, which are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, and of which approximately $0.12 million was payable as of September 30, 2023 and reflected on the Consolidated

Except where otherwise stated in the 1940 Act or the Company’s certificate of incorporation, each holder of Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share of preferred stock held on each matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s preferred stockholders and common stockholders will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to the Company’s stockholders. Additionally, the Company’s preferred stockholders will have the right to elect two Preferred Directors at all times, while the Company’s preferred stockholders and common stockholders, voting together as a single class, will elect the remaining members of the Board.
The Company has elected the FVO under ASC 825 for its Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Preferred Stock is measured at fair value.
Series A Term Preferred Stock
The Company is required to redeem all outstanding shares of the Series A Term Preferred Stock on October 30, 2026, at a redemption price of $25 per share (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”), plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any. At any time on or after October 31, 2023, the Company may, at its sole option, redeem the outstanding shares of the Series A Term Preferred Stock.
The estimated change in fair value of the Series A Term Preferred Stock attributable to market risk for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is approximately $11 thousand, which is recorded as unrealized (appreciation) depreciation on liabilities at fair value under the FVO on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The estimated change in fair value of the Series A Term Preferred Stock attributable to instrument-specific credit risk for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is approximately ($1.5) million, which is recorded as unrealized (appreciation) depreciation on liabilities at fair value under the FVO on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company defines the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk as the excess of the total change in fair value over the change in fair value attributable to changes in a base market rate, such as a United States treasury bond index with a similar maturity to the instrument being valued.
On June 30, 2023, the Company launched a new ATM offering to sell up to $1 million shares of Series A Term Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $25 million, pursuant to a prospectus filed with the SEC on June 29, 2023.

See Note 10 “Asset Coverage” for further discussion on the Company’s calculation of asset coverage with respect to its Preferred Stock.
7. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect these proceedings will have a material effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had total unfunded commitments, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, of $0.8 million arising from CFO debt and CFO equity investments. As of September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $1,028 in unrealized depreciation on unfunded commitments relating to CFO debt and CFO equity investments which is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations within net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.
8. | INDEMNIFICATIONS |
Under the Company’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. In addition, during the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts containing a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these agreements cannot be known; however, the Company expects any risk of loss to be remote.
9. | REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY |
The Company may utilize leverage to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. The Company may obtain leverage using any form of financial leverage instruments, including funds borrowed from banks or other financial institutions, margin facilities, notes or preferred stock and leverage attributable to repurchase agreements or similar transactions. Instruments that create leverage are generally considered to be senior securities under the 1940 Act. The use of leverage creates an opportunity for increased net income and capital appreciation, but also creates additional risks and expenses which will be borne entirely by common stock holders. The Company’s leverage strategy may not ultimately be successful.

(Unaudited)
On September 24, 2021 the Company entered into a credit agreement, which was amended on September 6, 2022 and September 18, 2023, with BNP Paribas, as lender, that established a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company can borrow up to an aggregate principal balance of $25.0 million (the “Commitment Amount”). Such borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at 1 month LIBOR plus a spread under the original credit agreement, and bear interest at Term SOFR plus a spread under the amended credit agreement. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused amount.
The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on the earlier of (i) the termination of the Commitment, as defined by the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility or (ii) the scheduled maturity date of September 21, 2024. The Company has the option to extend the maturity from time to time in accordance with the Revolving Credit Facility agreement.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had an average outstanding borrowing and average interest rate of approximately $1.31 million and 4.89%, respectively. The interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 on the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $0.09 million, inclusive of the unused fee, and is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an outstanding borrowing amount of $4.12 million.
See Note 10 “Asset Coverage” for further discussion on the Company’s calculation of asset coverage with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility.
10. | ASSET COVERAGE |
Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Company is permitted to issue senior securities, including debt securities and preferred stock, and borrow from banks or other financial institutions, provided that the Company satisfies certain asset coverage requirements.
With respect to senior securities that are stocks, such as the Preferred Stock, the Company is required to have asset coverage of at least 200%, as measured at the time of the issuance of any such senior securities that are stocks and calculated as the ratio of the Company’s total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Company’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness plus the aggregate liquidation preference of any outstanding shares of senior securities that are stocks.
With respect to senior securities representing indebtedness, such as the Revolving Credit Facility or any bank borrowings (other than temporary borrowings as defined under the 1940 Act), the Company is required to have asset coverage of at least 300%, as measured at the time of borrowing and calculated as the ratio of the Company’s total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Company’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness.
If the Company’s asset coverage declines below 300% (or 200%, as applicable), the Company would be prohibited under the 1940 Act from incurring additional debt or issuing additional preferred stock and from declaring certain distributions to its stockholders. In addition, the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility require the Company to cure any breach of the applicable asset coverage if the Company fails to maintain the applicable asset coverage, and the terms of the Preferred Stock require the Company to redeem shares of the Preferred Stock, if such failure to maintain the applicable asset coverage is not cured by a certain date.
The following table summarizes the Company’s asset coverage with respect to its Preferred Stock and Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2023, and as of December 31, 2022:

11. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENT |
In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”) related to FASB ASC Topic 848 Reference Rate Reform– Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The Company has fully adopted the provisions of ASU 2020-04, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03 (“ASU 2022-03”) related to FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements - Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This change prohibits entities from taking into account contractual restrictions on the sale of equity securities when estimating fair value and introduces required disclosures for such transactions. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU 2022-03.

Footnotes to the Financial Highlights:
(1) | Per share amounts are based on the weighted average of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. |
(2) | Per share distributions paid to preferred stockholders are reflected in net investment income, and totaled ($0.21), ($0.27) and ($0.05) per share of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. |
(3) | Net realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments may include a balancing figure to reconcile to the change in NAV per share at the end of each period. The amount shown for a share outstanding throughout the period may not agree with the change in the aggregate net realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments for the period because of the timing of sales of the Company’s common stock in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio. |
(4) | The information provided is based on estimates available at each respective period. The Company’s final taxable income and the actual amount required to be distributed will be finally determined when the Company files its final tax returns and may vary from these estimates. |
(5) | Represents the difference between the per share amount distributed to common stockholders of record and the per share amount distributed based on the weighted average of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. |
(6) | Represents the effect per share of the Company’s issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to a private placement in May 2019 and the Company’s ATM and follow on offerings.

For the year ended December 31, 2019 the total return on market value is calculated as the change in market value per share for the period commencing July 23, 2019, the date of the Company’s IPO, through December 31, 2019. The beginning market value per share is based on the initial public offering price of $19.89 per share. Total return does not reflect any sales load. |
(11) | Total return based on net asset value is calculated as the change in net asset value per share during the period plus declared and paid dividends per share, divided by the beginning net asset value per share. |
(12) | Ratios for the period from October 16, 2018 to December 31, 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are annualized. Ratios include the impact of the fee waivers and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser, where applicable. |
(13) | Expenses of the Company for the period from October 16, 2018 to December 31, 2018 and for the period from January 1, 2019 to May 31, 2019 were reimbursed by the Adviser.

Ratios for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include interest expense on the Series A Term Preferred Stock and Series B Term Preferred Stock of 2.11%, 1.83% and 0.31% of average net assets, respectively. Ratios for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019 include excise tax expense of -0.05%, 0.27%, 0.06% and 0.10% of average net assets, respectively. |
