(“KBW”), as sales agent and/or principal thereunder, and (iv) an open market sale agreement with Compass Point Research & Trading, LLC (“Compass” and together with Jefferies, B. Riley and KBW, the “Sales Agents”), as sales agent and/or principal thereunder. The open market sale agreements with the Sales Agents described in the preceding sentence are collectively referred to herein as the “Sales Agreements.” Under the Sales Agreements, the Company may, but has no obligation to, issue and sell, from time to time, up to $250,000,000 in aggregate offering price of shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, through the Sales Agents, or to it, as principal for its own account. The Company intends to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this “at-the-market” offering to make investments in accordance with its investment objective and investment strategy and for general corporate purposes.

     

    Sales of the Shares, if any, will be made under the prospectus supplement, dated August 29, 2025 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), as may be supplemented from time to time, and the accompanying prospectus, dated August 11, 2025 (together with the Prospectus Supplement, including any documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, the “Prospectus”) by any method permitted by law and deemed to be part of an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including, without limitation, sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or similar securities exchange, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at other negotiated prices.

     

    Under the terms of the Sales Agreements, each Sales Agent will receive a commission from the Company equal to up to 2.00% of the gross sales price of any Shares sold through the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreements and reimbursement of certain expenses. The Sales Agreements contain customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.

     

    Further details regarding the Sales Agreements and the “at-the-market” offering are set forth in the Prospectus filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 2025.

     

    The Shares, if any, will be offered, issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-289495), the prospectus, dated August 11, 2025, contained therein, and the Prospectus Supplement.
