Additional 402(v) Disclosure [Text Block] | Total Shareholder Return represents the value of a hypothetical $100 investment beginning at market close on the last trading day of fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, assuming reinvestment of all dividends.As described above, restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act restrict the Compensation Committee’s ability to use nondiscretionary or formulaic Company performance goals or criteria to determine executive incentive compensation. However, the Compensation Committee considers several financial performance metrics, along with other factors including operational goals and individual performance criteria, in determining the appropriate compensation for NEOs. Subject to the foregoing restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act, in the Company’s assessment, the following list of performance measures represent the most important performance measures used to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance:Other key metrics considered by the Compensation Committee when determining the appropriate compensation for NEOs include net origination activities, maintenance of liquidity and capital flexibility and individual contributions to corporate objectives. | ||
