On November 20, 2023, the Board determined the Company’s net asset value per share for each share class in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation policy, as described under “Determination of Net Asset Value” in this Prospectus. This table provides the Company’s aggregate net asset value and net asset value per share for its Class FA, Class A, Class T, Class D, Class I, and Class S shares as of October 31, 2023 (in thousands, except per share data):
| Month Ended October 31, 2023 | Class FA | Class A | Class T | Class D | Class I | Class S | Total | |||||||

| Number of Outstanding Shares | 4,202 | 4,788 | 2,619 | 2,540 | 11,816 | 1,751 | 27,716 | |||||||
| Net Asset Value, Per Share | $36.01 | $33.07 | $33.13 | $32.80 | $33.55 | $36.60 | ||||||||

The fair value of five of the Company’s portfolio company investments increased during the same period. The fair value of one of the Company’s portfolio company investments did not change. As of October 31, 2023, the Company had total assets of approximately $960.8 million.

2 Consists of distributions made from offering proceeds for the period presented.
3 For the ten months ended October 31, 2023, excludes $10,216 of distributions reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 distributions were paid from multiple sources and these sources included net investment income before expense support of 76.3%, 65.2%, 42.3%, 61.7% and 85.2%, reimbursable expense support of 0.0%, 0.0%, 33.2%, 23.5% and 11.1%, and offering proceeds of 23.7%, 34.8%, 24.5%, 14.8% and 3.7%, respectively. The Company will be required to repay expense support to the Manager and Sub-Manager in future periods which may reduce future income available for distributions, however as of the date of this supplement, management believes that reimbursement of all expense support is not probable under the terms of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement. We have also posted this information on our website at www.cnlstrategiccapital.com. A subscriber may also obtain this information by calling us by telephone at (866) 650-0650. The calculation of the Company’s net asset value is a calculation of fair value of the Company’s assets less the Company’s outstanding liabilities.
