We continue to strive to provide excellent client service and deliver timely communications on a regular basis; and accordingly, would like to provide you, our valued shareholder, with an estimate of our quarterly earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Estimates of First Quarter 2023 Financial Results:
The following are preliminary estimates, subject to change pending the completion of our unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

See Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income discussion below. |
| o | Estimated March 31, 2023 Net Asset Value – We anticipate the net asset value (“NAV”) per share at March 31, 2023 to be between $10.22 and $10.28 per share. |
| o | Q1 2023 Regular and Supplemental Dividends – The Board of Directors declared monthly all-cash dividends totaling $0.25 per share which were all paid on March 31, 2023. These dividends equated to an annualized yield of 9.9% based on a NAV per share of $10.13 at December 31, 2022. Additionally, on April 6, 2023, the Board of Directors also declared a supplemental dividend of $0.01 per share, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 17, 2023, payable on June 30, 2023. The aggregate Q1 2023 dividends, including the regular and supplemental dividends (which related to Q1 2023 earnings), equated to an annualized yield of 10.3% based on an NAV per share of $10.13 at December 31, 2022. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income
On a supplemental basis, the Company discloses Adjusted Net Investment Income (including on a per share basis) which is a financial measure that is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“non-GAAP”). Adjusted Net Investment Income represents net investment income, excluding the net capital gains incentive fee and income taxes. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company. The management agreement with the Company’s advisor provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized capital losses for such year. Management believes that Adjusted Net Investment Income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any net capital gains incentive fee as net investment income does not include gains associated with the capital gains incentive fee.
The following table provides a reconciliation from estimated net investment income (the most comparable GAAP measure) to estimated Adjusted Net Investment Income for the quarter ended March 31, 2023:
| | | | | Amount Per Share (Estimated) | |
| Net investment income | | | | $ | 0.30 – 0.32 | |
| Net capital gains incentive fee | | | | | (0.00) – 0.02 | |
| Income taxes, including excise taxes | | | | | (0.01) – 0.01 | |
| Adjusted Net Investment Income | | | | $ | 0.29 - 0.35 | |
Adjusted Net Investment Income may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, as it is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore may be defined differently by other companies. In addition, Adjusted Net Investment Income should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
