PROPRIETARY Lafayette Square BDC Human Capital Results Dashboard Footnotes [1] LMI is defined under applicable CRA regulation as an individual income that is less than 80 percent of the area median income (“AMI”) or a median family income that is less than 80 percent in a census tract. AMI is defined as the median family income for the metropolitan statistical area or metropolitan division, if applicable, or if the person or census tract is located outside of a metropolitan statistical area, the statewide nonmetropolitan median family income. [2] For those portfolio companies who did not agree to provide census data, job totals are based on data provided by such portfolio companies at time of transaction. [3] “Underserved communities” means LMI areas; Empowerment Zones, as defined in the Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities Act of 1993, as amended; Opportunity Zones, as defined in the U.S. Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017; and/or areas targeted by a government entity for redevelopment or to revitalize or stabilize designated disaster areas. “Substantial Employment” means more than 50% of the portfolio company’s workforce, measured by W-2 forms or 1099 forms filed by workers with the Internal Revenue Service.

[4] National median income data is from the U.S. Census Bureau - 2022 American Community Survey. This is the most recent data available as of March 2024. Median family income is used to calculate individual LMI per CRA guidelines. The metric is included at the national level to serve as a similar, but not exact, comparison. [5] Turnover rates are calculated by dividing the total terminations for the period by the average number of employees who worked during or received pay for the same period. National turnover includes private employee data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics - Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey.

National average is private industry from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics - National Compensation Survey.
