Mr. Suhail A. Shaikh said “During the quarter, we navigated a persistently challenging market environment characterized by subdued new deal activity and heightened competition for high-quality assets. Despite these headwinds, we remained disciplined in our investment approach, focusing on opportunities that align with our rigorous underwriting standards. While refinancing activity provided some avenues for capital deployment, we are maintaining a highly selective stance on new deals. Our priority continues to be preserving the stability of our portfolio and positioning the company for long-term growth as market conditions evolve.”
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 September 18, 2024, the Board declared a distribution for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 of $0.12 per share payable on November 6, 2024 to stockholders of record as of October 16, 2024.
This distribution represents a 14.29% yield on the Company’s $3.36 share price as of market close on June 28, 2024. 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, 2024, 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.
