(1) All investments are U.S. domiciled.

(2) The investment is treated as a non-qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act’’). Under the 1940 Act, the Company cannot acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of September 30, 2023, total non-qualifying assets at fair value represented 16.7% of the Company’s total net assets calculated in accordance with the 1940 Act.

(3) The fair value of the investment was valued using significant unobservable inputs. See Note 6. Fair Value Measurements in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

(4) Unless otherwise indicated, the interest rate on the principal balance outstanding for all floating rate loans is indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), Synthetic LIBOR (“SYN LIBOR”), and/or the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which typically resets semiannually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower’s option. The applicable base rate may be subject to a floor. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. For each of these loans, we have provided the applicable margin over the reference rate based on each respective credit agreement. As of September 30, 2023, the reference rates for the floating rate loans were the 3 Month LIBOR of 5.66%, 1 Month SOFR of 5.32%, 3 Month SOFR of 5.40%, 6 Month SOFR of 5.47% and SYN LIBOR of 5.43%.

(5) Interest rates on short-term investments are annualized.

(6) All or a portion of the interest on this position is paid-in-kind (PIK)

(2) All debt investments are income-producing, unless otherwise noted.

(3) The investment is treated as a non-qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act’’). Under the 1940 Act, the Company cannot acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of December 31, 2022, total non-qualifying assets at fair value represented 18.4% of the Company’s total net assets calculated in accordance with the 1940 Act.

(4) The fair value of the investment was valued using significant unobservable inputs. See Note 6. Fair Value Measurements in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

PIMCO Capital Solutions BDC Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2023

1. Organization

PIMCO Capital Solutions BDC Corp. (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”), is an externally managed,

non-diversified,

closed-end

management investment company that elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), on July 11, 2022. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on December 23, 2021. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company has elected, as of August 1, 2022, to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company intends to invest primarily in privately negotiated loans and equity investments to middle market companies generally with annual revenues greater than $20 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of less than $50 million. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO” or the “Advisor”) serves as the Company’s external investment advisor pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). PIMCO is an investment advisor registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). PIMCO also serves as the Company’s administrator (in such capacity, the “Administrator”) pursuant to an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”). The Administrator may retain a

sub-administrator

to perform any or all of its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

The Company is conducting private offerings (each a “Private Offering”) of its common stock to investors in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). At the closing of any Private Offering, each investor makes a capital commitment (a “Capital Commitment”) to purchase Shares (as defined below) pursuant to a subscription agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) entered into with the Company or PIMCO Capital Solutions US Feeder LP, a feeder fund established by the Advisor to invest in Shares of the Company (“Feeder Fund”). The Company is a perpetual-life investment vehicle, without a fixed termination date or commitment period. Investors will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase Shares up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitment on an

as-needed

basis each time the Company delivers a capital draw-down notice to its investors. The Company entered into an initial subscription agreement on June 9, 2022, received capital contributions on June 10, 2022 (date of inception), and commenced investment operations on June 30, 2022.

The initial meeting of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company was held on June 22, 2022. There were no operations prior to June 10, 2022 (date of inception). Effective June 10, 2022, affiliated entities of the Advisor (the “PIMCO Entities”) indirectly contributed $15 (amount in thousands) of capital to the Company by investing in interests of the Feeder Fund. In exchange for this contribution, the PIMCO Entities, through their interest in the Feeder Fund, each indirectly received common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (“Shares”). On June 29, 2022, the PIMCO Entities made an additional capital contribution and, pursuant to Transfer Agreements entered into on June 30, 2022, the PIMCO Entities contributed additional assets to the Company with a fair market value of $143,864 and unrealized loss of $6,588 (amounts in thousands). As a result of these foregoing transactions, the Company issued and sold a total of 25,387,884 Shares at an aggregate purchase price of $253,879 (amount in thousands).

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had total Capital Commitments of $253,879 (amount in thousands), of which 0% is unfunded. Capital Commitments may be drawn down by the Company on a pro rata basis, as needed (including

follow-on

investments), for paying the Company’s expenses, including fees under the Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement (as defined below), and/or maintaining a reserve account for the payment of future expenses or liabilities.

The Company’s fiscal year ends December 31.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented herein. The functional and reporting currency for the Company is the U.S. dollar.

8

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form

10-Q

and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation

S-X.

Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period presented, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation

As provided under ASC Topic 946 and Regulation

S-X,

the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Emerald CS LLC, Ruby CS LLC, Amber CS LLC, Citrine CS LLC, Diamond CS LLC, Opal CS LLC, Quartz CS LLC, Jade CS LLC, Pearl CS LLC, Sapphire CS LLC, Topaz CS LLC, Garnet CS LLC, Turquoise CS LLC, Aquamarine CS LLC, Tanzanite CS LLC and Peridot CS LLC. All material intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value of Investments

The Company applies fair value to all of its financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 820—Fair Value Measurement (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company has categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date.

Revenue Recognition

Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled 15 days or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the

ex-dividend

date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the

ex-dividend

date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Company is informed of the dividend. Tax liabilities realized as a result of such security sales are reflected as a component of net realized gain (loss) on investments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Paydown gains and losses on asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investments are placed on

non-accrual

status when it is probable that principal, interest or dividends will not be collected according to contractual terms. Interest or dividend payments received on

non-accrual

investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgement.

Non-accrual

investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest or dividends are paid and, in management’s judgement, principal and interest or dividend payments are likely to remain current. We may make exceptions to this treatment if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Interest income and interest expense are recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income on debt instruments is accrued and recognized for those issuers who are currently paying in full or expected to pay in full. For those issuers who are in default or expected to default, interest is not accrued and is only recognized when received or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgement. Interest income and expense include discounts accreted and premiums amortized on certain debt instruments as determined in good faith by the Company and calculated using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discounts and market discounts or premiums are capitalized as part of the underlying cost of the investments and accreted or amortized over the life of the investment as interest income.

9

Paydown gains and losses on investments in debt instruments are reported in Interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company records dividend income from private securities pursuant to the terms of the respective investments.

The Company may earn various fees during the life of the loans. Such fees include, but are not limited to, syndication, commitment, administration, prepayment and amendment fees, some of which are paid to the Company on an ongoing basis. These fees and any other income are recognized as earned as a component of Other income, if applicable, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Certain commitment fees are deferred and included in Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The commitment fees are amortized over the life of the investment as other income.

Deferred Financing Fees

Deferred financing fees represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had deferred financing costs of $2,353 and $0, respectively (amount in thousands). These amounts are amortized and included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the life of the borrowings.

Payment

In-Kind

Interest

The Company may have investments that contain

Payment-In-Kind

(“PIK”) provisions. PIK income, computed at the contractual rate specified in the Company investment agreement, is added to the principal balance of the investment and recorded as Payment

in-kind

interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company prospectively ceases recognition of PIK income and the associated principal balance if such amounts and balances are deemed to be doubtful of collection. For investments with PIK income, the Company calculates income accruals based on the principal balance including any PIK.

Organizational Costs

Organizational costs to establish the Company are charged to expense as incurred. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs of organizing the Company. The Advisor may elect to pay certain organizational costs of the Company on the Company’s behalf and for which the Company reimburses the Advisor. If the Company is dissolved prior to the full reimbursement of the organizational costs, the Advisor shall not seek reimbursement of any remaining amounts upon dissolution. The Company has entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (the “Expense Reimbursement Agreement”) with the Advisor pursuant to which the Advisor may elect to pay certain expenses on the Company’s behalf and the Company may be required to repay the Advisor from its excess operating funds until such time as all expenses made by the Advisor on behalf of the Company within three years have been reimbursed. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs of organizing the Company. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $703 and $1,004, respectively (amounts in thousands), were recoverable by the Advisor for organizational expenses paid on the Company’s behalf and is recorded as “Organizational costs paid by Advisor” on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Offering Costs

Offering costs in connection with the offering of common stock of the Company are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the commencement of operations. The Advisor may elect to pay certain offering costs of the Company on the Company’s behalf and for which the Company may reimburse the Advisor pursuant to the Expense Reimbursement Agreement between the Company and Advisor. If the Company is dissolved prior to the full reimbursement of the offering costs, the Advisor shall not seek reimbursement of any remaining amounts upon dissolution. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were $0 and $10, respectively (amounts in thousands), recoverable by the Advisor for offering costs paid on the Company’s behalf and were recorded as “Deferred offering costs” on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Other Expenses

All costs associated with consummated investments are included in the cost of such investments. Broken deal expenses incurred in connection with investment transactions which are not successfully consummated are expensed as a component of Other expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, valuation, insurance, filing, research, consulting, subscriptions, directors’ out-of-pocket expenses and other costs, are included as components of Other expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

10

Legal Expense

Legal expenses are related to ongoing reviews of and legal advice on filings, board materials and financing facility and regulatory matters of the Company. These expenses are included as Legal expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Legal expenses payable on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Cash and Foreign Currency

Cash is comprised of cash at the custodian bank. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. The functional and reporting currency for the Company is the U.S. dollar.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected, as of August 1, 2022, to be treated as a RIC under the Code and intends each year to qualify and be eligible to be treated as such, so that it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its net investment income or net short-term or long-term capital gains, that are distributed (or deemed distributed, as described below) to stockholders. In order to qualify and be eligible for such treatment, the Company must meet certain asset diversification tests, derive at least 90% of its gross income for such year from certain types of qualifying income, and distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income” as that term is defined in the Code (which includes, among other things, dividends, taxable interest and the excess of any net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses, as reduced by certain deductible expenses).

The Company’s investment strategy will potentially be limited by its intention to continue qualifying for treatment as a RIC and can limit the Company’s ability to continue qualifying as such. The tax treatment of certain of the Company’s investments under one or more of the qualification or distribution tests applicable to RICs is uncertain. An adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS or a change in law might affect the Company’s ability to qualify or be eligible for such treatment.

If, in any year, the Company were to fail to qualify for treatment as a RIC under the Code and were ineligible to or did not otherwise cure such failure, the Company would be subject to tax on its taxable income at corporate rates and, when such income is distributed, stockholders would be subject to further tax on such distributions to the extent of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits.

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740—Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are

“more-likely-than-not”

to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the

more-likely-than-not

threshold would be recorded as a tax expense or tax benefit in the current year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no material unrecognized tax benefits or unrecognized tax liabilities related to uncertain income tax positions through September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the tax year that remains subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is the year 2022 (with limited exceptions), assuming tax filings have been made for the year.

Distributions

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and U.S. GAAP may cause timing differences between income and capital gain recognition. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. As a result, income distributions and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gains (losses) reported on the Company’s financial statements presented under U.S. GAAP.

The Company has adopted an “opt out” distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). As a result, unless stockholders elect to “opt out” of the DRIP, stockholders will have their cash dividends or distributions automatically reinvested in additional Shares, rather than receiving cash. Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of Shares will generally be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions; however, those stockholders will not receive cash with which to pay any applicable taxes.

11

New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU

2020-04,

which provides guidance to account for certain contract modifications prospectively to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from the LIBOR (as defined below) and other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. ASU

2020-04

is effective upon release of the update on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU

2022-06,

which extends the sunset date established by ASU

2020-04

from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024 in order to capture the time period in which the aforementioned contract modifications may occur. Management is continuously evaluating the potential effect a discontinuation of LIBOR could have on the Company’s investments and has determined that it is unlikely the ASU’s adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Related Party Transactions

Advisory Agreement

On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into an Advisory Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will pay the Advisor, quarterly in arrears, a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.25%. The base management fee is calculated based on the average of the Company’s total net assets (including cash or cash equivalents but excluding assets purchased with borrowed amounts) as of the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The base management fee for any partial month or quarter is appropriately prorated. The Advisor has agreed to waive all management fees payable pursuant to the Advisory Agreement for so long as the only stockholders of the Company are PIMCO Entities. The Advisory Agreement does not provide for the payment of incentive fees.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a management fee of $753 and $798, respectively (amounts in thousands), of which 100% was waived by the Advisor. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 and for the period from June 10, 2022 (date of inception) to September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a management fee of $2,233 and $806, respectively (amount in thousands), of which 100% was waived by the Advisor.

Administration Agreement

On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into an Administration Agreement with PIMCO in its capacity as Administrator. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides or causes to be furnished certain supervisory and administrative and other services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Company. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Company pays the Administrator an annual fee calculated and payable quarterly in arrears on the last business day of calendar quarter in an amount equal to 0.15% of the Company’s total net assets.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company incurred an administration fee of $90 and $97, respectively (amounts in thousands). For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 and the period from June 10, 2022 (date of inception) to September 30, 2022, the Company incurred an administration fee of $268 and $97, respectively (amount in thousands).

Expense Reimbursement Agreement

The Company has entered into an Expense Reimbursement Agreement with the Advisor. The Advisor may elect to make certain Expense Payments on the Company’s behalf, provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any of the Company’s interest expense. The Advisor has agreed to make Expense Payments on the Company’s behalf through June 30, 2025. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 and period ended December 31, 2022, the Advisor paid directors fees on behalf of the Company. As of September 30, 2023 and period ended December 31, 2022, $131 and $192, respectively (amount in thousands), are reimbursable to the Advisor for directors fees and are recorded as “Directors fee reimbursement to Advisor” on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Following any calendar year in which Available Operating Funds (defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to the Company’s stockholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in such calendar year (the amount of such excess, “Excess Operating Funds”), the Company shall pay Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof, to the Advisor until such time as all Expense Payments made by the Advisor to or on behalf of the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar year have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Company shall be referred to herein as a “Reimbursement Payment.” “Available Operating Funds” means the sum of (i) the Company’s net “investment company taxable income”, as defined by the Code, which generally includes net ordinary income and net short-term taxable gains reduced by net long-term capital losses, (ii) the Company’s net capital gains (including the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) distributions and other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent

12

such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above). No Reimbursement Payment for any calendar year will be made if the Company’s Operating Expense Ratio (defined below) at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is greater than the Operating Expense Ratio at the time the expense payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates. The “Operating Expense Ratio” is calculated by dividing all of the Company’s operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP for investment companies, less organizational and offering expenses, base management fees owed to the Advisor, and interest expense, by the Company’s average net assets.

The Expense Reimbursement Agreement may require the Company to repay the Advisor for previously waived reimbursement of Expense Payments under certain circumstances. The previously waived expenses are potentially subject to repayment by the Company, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of the relevant waiver.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company waived organization costs of $0 and $438, respectively (amount in thousands). For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 and for the period from June 10, 2022 (date of inception) to September 30, 2022, the Company waived organization costs of $0 and $950, respectively (amount in thousands).

Due to/from Affiliate

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has $0 and $2, respectively (amounts in thousands), receivable from an affiliate and are included in “Due from affiliate” on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has $0 and $435, respectively (amounts in thousands), payable to an affiliate and are included in “Due to affiliate” on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Directors Fee

The Company compensates each of its Independent Directors for their services. Their compensation is included in Directors fee on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Independent Directors also receive reimbursement of

reasonable out-of-pocket expenses

incurred in connection with attending each meeting, which are included as components of Other expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Co-Investment

Relief

The Company has received exemptive relief from the SEC that, to the extent the Company relies on such relief, permits it to (among other things)

co-invest

with certain other persons, including certain affiliates of the Advisor and certain public or private funds managed by the Advisor and its affiliates, subject to certain terms and conditions. The exemptive relief from the SEC with respect to

co-investments

imposes extensive conditions on any

co-investments

made in reliance on such relief.

See Note 1. Organization for other related party transactions.

4. Borrowings

The Company is permitted to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing (if certain requirements are met). As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding and, therefore, the asset coverage ratio is not applicable.

Credit Facility

On June 19, 2023, Amber CS LLC (the “Subsidiary”), as borrower and portfolio asset servicer, a wholly-owned financing subsidiary of the Company, Topaz CS LLC, as equity holder of Subsidiary, and Opal CS LLC and Quartz CS LLC, as Subsidiary guarantors, entered into a loan servicing agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, as initial lender, administrative agent, facility servicer, and collateral custodian, and MassMutual Ascend Life Insurance Company, as initial lender. Under the Credit Facility, the maximum aggregate committed borrowing amount is $150,000 (amount in thousands) (the “Maximum Facility Amount”) with a scheduled maturity date of June 19, 2032.

The facility bears interest at a rate of the applicable Benchmark plus (a) 2.85% for SOFR advances, and (b) 1.85% for an advance bearing interest at the alternate base rate which is a rate of interest per annum equal to the higher of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day; and (b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 0.5% per annum. The facility bears an Unused Commitment Fee on the average daily unused amount in excess of the Minimum Usage Amount, if any, at a rate of .40% per annum. The Minimum Usage

13

Amount is (a) zero prior to June 19, 2024, and (b) an amount equal to 70% of the Maximum Facility Amount any date on or after June 19, 2024. The Subsidiary also pays a Facility Servicer Fee in an aggregate amount equal to 0.03% per annum of the Maximum Facility Amount, an annual Collateral Custodian Fee of $5, an Agent Fee in an annual amount of $25, and a Rating fee of $175 for the initial rating and an annual fee of $45 thereafter (amounts in thousands).

The Credit Facility contains certain covenants including: (i) the Subsidiary acquiring a Debt Rating of

BBB-,

BBB (low) or Baa3 or higher and (ii) maintaining a loan to value less than minimums dictated by the number of assets in the portfolio. As of September 30, 2023, the Company is in compliance with these covenants.

In connection with the establishment of the loan facility, the Company paid upfront fees and incurred legal expenses of $2,423 (amount in thousands), which are being amortized into interest expense through the scheduled maturity date. The Company had $0 of outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2023. Interest expense related to the borrowings and amortization of deferred financing costs are disclosed as a component of interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three month period ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company had interest expense of $63 and $0, respectively, inclusive of amortization expense for deferred financing fees of $63 and $0, respectively (amounts in thousands). For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 and for the period from June 10, 2022 (date of inception) to September 30, 2022, the Company had interest expense of $70 and $0, respectively, inclusive of amortization expense for deferred financing fees of $70 and $0, respectively (amounts in thousands).

5. Investments

Under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to separately identify

non-controlled

investments where it owns 5% or more of a portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company as investments in “affiliated” companies. In addition, under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to separately identify investments where it owns more than 25% of a portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company as investments in “controlled” companies. Under the 1940 Act,

“non-affiliated

investments” are defined as investments that are neither controlled investments nor affiliated investments. Detailed information with respect to the Company’s

non-controlled,

non-affiliated;

non-controlled,

affiliated; and controlled affiliated investments is contained in the consolidated financial statements, including the Consolidated Schedules of Investments. The information in the tables below is presented on an aggregate portfolio basis, without regard to whether they are

non-controlled,

non-affiliated;

non-controlled,

affiliated; or controlled affiliated investments.

6. Fair Value Measurement

In accordance with ASC Topic 820, fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability as of the reporting date.

Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

• Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

• Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments at the reporting date).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. If a fair value measurement uses price data vendors or observable market price quotations, that measurement may be a Level 2 or Level 3 measurement depending on the source of the base price. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability. The determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Company. The Company considers observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

15

Valuation of Investments

Investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor, subject to the oversight of the Board, based on input from management and independent valuation firms that have been engaged to assist in the valuation of portfolio investments without readily available market quotations. This valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter.

Common stocks, warrants and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts or options on futures that are traded on a national securities exchange, are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule

2a-5

under the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820. As a general principle, the fair value of a security or other asset is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Pursuant to Rule

2a-5,

the Board has designated PIMCO as the valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”) for the Company to perform the fair value determination relating to all Company investments. PIMCO may carry out its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee through various teams and committees. The Valuation Designee’s policies and procedures govern the Valuation Designee’s selection and application of methodologies for determining and calculating the fair value of Company investments. The Valuation Designee may value Company portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available and other Company assets utilizing inputs from pricing sources, quotation reporting systems, valuation agents and other third-party sources (together, “Pricing Sources”).

The fair values of loan investments based upon pricing data vendors or observable market price quotations are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3. Loan investments priced using internal models with significant unobservable inputs are categorized as Level 3.

Short-term debt instruments (such as commercial paper) held by the Company having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, so long as the amortized cost value of such short-term debt instruments is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. These securities are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the source of the base price. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter (absent unusual circumstances) assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuations in general market rates of interest on the value of the instrument.

If third-party evaluated vendor pricing is not available or not deemed to be indicative of fair value, the Company may elect to obtain Broker Quotes directly from the broker-dealer or passed through from a third-party vendor. In the event that fair value is based upon a single sourced Broker Quote, these securities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Broker Quotes are typically received from established market participants. Although independently received, the Company does not have the transparency to view the underlying inputs which support the market quotation. Significant changes in the Broker Quote would have direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security.

Discounted cash flow valuation uses an internal analysis based on the Advisor’s expectation of future income and expenses, capital structure, exit multiples of a security, and other unobservable inputs which may include contractual and factual loan factors, estimated future payments and credit rating. Significant changes in the unobservable inputs of the models would result in direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. These securities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Proxy pricing procedures set the base price of a fixed income security and subsequently adjust the price proportionally to market value changes of a

pre-determined

security deemed to be comparable in duration, generally a U.S. Treasury or sovereign note based on country of issuance. The base price may be a broker-dealer quote, transaction price, or an internal value as derived by analysis of market data. The base price of the security may be reset on a periodic basis based on the availability of market data and procedures approved by the Valuation Oversight Committee. Significant changes in the unobservable inputs of the proxy pricing process (the base price) would result in direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. These securities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The market approach generally involves multiplying a key performance metric of the company, such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), by a valuation multiple observed in a range of comparable companies or transactions. The selection of a population of comparable companies requires judgment, including qualitative and quantitative analysis of the comparability of the companies. The Advisor may also adjust the valuation multiple for differences between the investment and the referenced comparable.

16

A cost approach is generally used when a recent transaction price for a specific asset is indicative of fair value.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, however, estimated fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market for the securities existed and the differences could be material.

The following tables summarize the fair value of the Company’s investments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (amounts in thousands):

Assets or liabilities categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 as of period end have been transferred between Level 2 and 3 since the prior period due to changes in the method utilized in valuing the investments. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 are a result of a change, in the normal course of business, from the use of methods used by Pricing Services (Level 2) to the use of a Broker Quote or valuation technique which utilizes significant unobservable inputs due to an absence of current or reliable market-based data (Level 3). Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 are a result of the availability of current and reliable market-based data provided by Pricing Services or other valuation techniques which utilize significant observable inputs. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the tables below.

The below tables present a summary of changes in fair value of Level 3 assets by investment type (amounts in thousands) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the period June 10, 2022 (date of inception) to September 30, 2022:

7. Commitments & Contingencies

Commitments

The Company may enter into commitments to fund investments. As of September 30, 2023, the Advisor believed that the Company had adequate financial resources to satisfy its unfunded commitments, if any. The amounts associated with unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Since these commitments and the associated amounts may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent a future cash requirement.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had the following outstanding commitments to fund investments in current portfolio companies (amounts in thousands):

Portfolio Company	Investment Type	September 30, 2023
Integrity Marketing Acquisition, LLC	Revolver	$	709
Integrity Marketing Acquisition, LLC	Delayed Draw Term Loan	$	2,300

18

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide a variety of general indemnifications. Any exposure to the Company under these arrangements could involve future claims that may be made against the Company. Currently, no such claims exist or are expected to arise and, accordingly, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.

Litigation

As of the issuance date of this report, the Company is not named as a defendant in any material litigation or arbitration proceedings and is not aware of any material litigation or claim pending or threatened against it.

8. Net Assets

Equity Issuance

The Company’s authorized stock consists of 250,000,000 Shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

The Company did not hold a closing of the continuous Private Offering for the three month period or nine month period ended September 30, 2023.

Distributions

Share Repurchase Program

At the discretion of the Board, the Company may repurchase Shares (either by number of Shares or aggregate net asset value) as of such quarter end pursuant to a quarterly share repurchase program. Repurchases of Shares will be made at the current net offering price per Share on the date of such repurchase.

In the event the amount of Shares tendered exceeds the repurchase offer amount, Shares will be repurchased on a pro rata basis. All unsatisfied repurchase requests must be resubmitted in the next quarterly tender offer, or upon the recommencement of the Share repurchase program, as applicable.

Investors should understand that under Section 27A(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Act and Section 21E(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 do not apply to forward-looking statements made in periodic reports that the Company files under the Exchange Act.

Overview

The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), on July 11, 2022. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on December 23, 2021. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company has elected, as of August 1, 2022, to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company’s investment objectives are to generate current income and to a lesser extent longer-term capital appreciation. The Company seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in privately negotiated loans and equity investments to middle-market companies generally with annual revenues greater than $20 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of less than $50 million. To accomplish this, the Company plans to make direct investments in middle-market companies. The Company may make select investments in non-U.S. portfolio companies. The Company seeks to provide investors with access to:

• a diversified portfolio of credit investments expected to provide stable income and high assurances of debt repayment;

• current income distributions;

• capital protection through defensive structures with affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants and active portfolio management;

• assets of varying vintage, industry and geography through direct originations and acquisitions of loan portfolios; and

• generally low volatility and low correlation to public market indices.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company intends to primarily invest in directly originated senior secured term loans including first lien senior secured term loans (including unitranche loans), second lien senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt, unsecured loans, other subordinated loans, and covenant-lite loans. The Company intends to invest to a lesser degree in equity investments and other opportunistic asset purchases. The Company may engage in hedging transactions. The Company may also make investments in traded bank loans and other liquid debt securities of U.S. corporate issuers, including broadly syndicated loans, which may provide more liquidity than the Company’s private credit investments. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Company’s cash flows, the state of the loan market, and the need to quickly ramp-up the Company’s portfolio, the Company expects that at times its liquid loan portfolio could represent a material portion of the Company’s portfolio.

22

The Company generates revenues primarily in the form of interest income from investments it holds. In addition, the Company generates income from dividends or distributions of income on any direct equity investments, capital gains on the sale of loans and equity securities and various other loan origination and other fees, including commitment, origination, amendment, structuring, syndication or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees.

Key Components Of Our Results Of Operations

Investments

The Company’s level of investment activity can, does, and will vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt available to middle-market companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the type of investments the Company makes.

Revenues

The Company generates revenue primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments it holds. In addition, the Company generates income from dividends or distributions on income on direct equity investments, capital gains on the sales of loans and equity securities and various loan origination and other fees. The Company’s debt investments generally have a stated term of five to eight years and typically bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark such as LIBOR or SOFR. Interest on these debt investments is paid quarterly. In some instances, the Company receives payments on its debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, the Company may receive repayments of some of its debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments is expected to fluctuate significantly from period to period. The Company’s portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. The Company may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring, syndication or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees.

Investments are placed on non-accrual status when it is probable that principal, interest or dividends will not be collected according to contractual terms. Interest or dividend payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgement. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest or dividends are paid and, in management’s judgement, principal and interest or dividend payments are likely to remain current. We may make exceptions to this treatment if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Expenses

The Company’s primary operating expenses include the payment of: (i) investment advisory fees to the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Advisor (unless waived); (ii) administrative fees payable to the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement between the Company and the Administrator; and (iii) other operating expenses as detailed below:

We expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable or to decline as a percentage of total assets during periods of asset growth and to increase during periods of asset declines.

Portfolio, Investment Activity And Results Of Operations

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had investments, excluding cash equivalents, in 25 portfolio companies across 13 industries. Based on fair value as of September 30, 2023, 81% of the Company’s debt portfolio was invested in debt bearing a floating interest rate, which are primarily subject to interest rate floors. Approximately 81% of the Company’s debt portfolio at fair value had an interest rate floor denoted in LIBOR, Synthectic LIBOR, or SOFR. The weighted average interest rate floor across the Company’s floating-rate portfolio was approximately 0.8% as of September 30, 2023. These floors allow the Company to mitigate (to a degree) any impact of spread widening on the valuation of the Company’s investments. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s estimated weighted average total yield of investments in debt securities was 11.6%. Weighted average yields are based on interest rates as of September 30, 2023.

As part of the monitoring process, the Advisor has developed risk policies pursuant to which it regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our debt investments. The Advisor has developed a classification system to group investments into four categories. The investments are evaluated regularly and assigned a category based on certain credit metrics. The Advisor’s ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments. Please see below for a description of the four categories of the Advisor’s Internal Risk Rating system:

Category 1 – In the opinion of the Advisor, investments in Category 1 involve the least amount of risk relative to the Company’s initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. Category 1 investments performance is above the Company’s initial underwriting expectations and the business trends and risk factors are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company, or the likelihood of a potential exit.

Category 2 – In the opinion of the Advisor, investments in Category 2 involve a level of risk relative to the Company’s initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. Category 2 investments are generally performing in line with the Company’s initial underwriting expectations and risk factors to ultimately recoup the cost of our principal investment are neutral to favorable. All new originated or acquired investments are initially included in Category 2.

Category 3 – In the opinion of the Advisor, investments in Category 3 indicate that the risk to the Company’s ability to recoup the initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition has increased materially since the origination or acquisition of the investment, such as declining financial performance and non-compliance with debt covenants; however, principal and interest payments are not more than 120 days past due.

Category 4 – In the opinion of the Advisor, investments in Category 4 involve a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicate that the loan’s risk has increased substantially since origination or acquisition. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For Category 4 investments, it is anticipated that the Company will not recoup the Company’s initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of the Company’s initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition upon exit.

The distribution of the Company’s portfolio, including cash equivalents, on the Advisor’s Internal Risk Rating System is as follows:

Other expenses include valuation, insurance, filing, research, subscriptions and other costs. Organization and offering costs include expenses incurred in the Company’s initial formation and the Company’s offering of Shares.

Waivers include organizational costs and management fee waivers.

Income Taxes, Including Excise Taxes

The Company has elected, as of August 1, 2022, to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, and the Company intends to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, distribute to the Company’s stockholders in each taxable year generally at least 90% of the sum of our Investment Company Taxable Income, as defined by the Code (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), and net tax-exempt income for that taxable year. To maintain the Company’s tax treatment as a RIC, the Company, among other things, intends to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which generally relieve the Company from corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, nine month period ended September 30, 2023, and the period June 10, 2022 (date of inception) to September 30, 2022, we did not incur any excise tax.

Financial Condition, Liquidity And Capital Resources

The Company generates cash from the net proceeds of offerings of its Shares, and from cash flows from interest and fees earned from its investments and principal repayments and proceeds from sales of its investments. The Company may also fund a portion of its investments through borrowings from banks and issuances of senior securities, including before the Company has fully invested the proceeds of any closing of the Company’s continuous private offering of its Shares. The Company’s primary use of cash will be investments in portfolio companies, payments of Company expenses and payment of cash distributions to stockholders.

27

Financing Transactions

The Company intends to utilize leverage (including through the establishment of wholly-owned financing subsidiaries) to finance its investments and operations. The amount of leverage that the Company employs will be subject to the restrictions of the 1940 Act and the supervision of the Board. At the time of any proposed borrowing, the amount of leverage the Company employs will also depend on the Advisor’s assessment of market and other factors. The Company may use leverage for investments, working capital, expenses and general corporate purposes (including to pay dividends or distributions).

The Company is subject to limitations on leverage applicable to BDCs under the 1940 Act. As a BDC, with certain limited exceptions, the Company is only permitted to borrow amounts such that the Company’s asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 150% after (and including) such borrowing. As of September 30, 2023, our asset coverage ratio, as defined under the 1940 Act as the ratio of our total assets (less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities) to our outstanding senior securities, was not applicable because the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding as of that date.

In determining whether to borrow money or issue debt on behalf of the Company, the Advisor will analyze, as applicable, the maturity, covenant package and rate structure of the proposed borrowings as well as the risks of such borrowings compared to the Company’s investment outlook, among other factors. Any such leverage, if incurred, would increase the total capital available for investment by the Company.

On June 19, 2023, the Company, entered into the Credit Facility. See “Note 4. Borrowings” in “Item 1. Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Report for more information.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings.

The Company may also from time to time enter into new credit facilities, increase the size of existing credit facilities or issue debt securities. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company may become a party to investment commitments and to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its business to fund investments and to meet the financial needs of its portfolio companies. These instruments may include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of September 30, 2023, the Company believed it had adequate resources to satisfy its unfunded commitments. The unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies were as follows (amounts in thousands:

Unfunded Commitments	As of September 30, 2023
First Lien Senior Secured	$	3,009

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

For the three month period ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, nine month period ended September 30, 2023, and the period June 10, 2022 (date of inception) to September 30, 2022, the Company did not hold closings of our continuous private offering of Shares.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. The Company’s critical accounting policies, including those relating to the valuation of its investment portfolio, should be read in connection with the Company’s financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Report, and “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s initial registration statement on Form 10 (“Form 10”).

Related Party Transactions

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following (which are defined in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements if not defined herein):

• the Advisory Agreement;

• the Administration Agreement; and

• the Expense Reimbursement Agreement.

See “Item 1. Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements-Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements-Note 3. Related Party Transactions.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. To the extent that the Company borrows money to make investments, the Company’s net investment income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which the Company borrows funds and the rate at which the Company invests these funds. In periods of rising interest rates, the Company’s cost of funds would increase, which may reduce the Company’s net investment income. Because the Company expects that most of its investments will bear interest at floating rates, the Company anticipates that an increase in interest rates would have a corresponding increase in the Company’s interest income that would likely offset any increase in the Company’s cost of funds and, thus, net investment income would not be reduced. However, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have an adverse effect on the Company’s net investment income.

The Company will generally invest in illiquid loans and securities including debt and equity securities of middle-market companies. Because the Company expects that there will not be a readily available market for many of the investments in the Company’s portfolio, the Company expects to value many of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor using a documented valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process, subject to Board oversight. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

Assuming that the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2023, were to remain constant and that the Company took no actions to alter its existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates (amounts in thousands).

Change in Interest Rates	Increase (Decrease) in Interest Income			Increase (Decrease) in Interest Expense		Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Investment Income
Down 25 basis points	$	(439	)	$	—	$	(439	)
Up 100 basis points	$	1,758		$	—	$	1,758
Up 200 basis points	$	3,516		$	—	$	3,516
Up 300 basis points	$	5,273		$	—	$	5,273

In addition, although the Company does not currently intend to make investments that are denominated in a foreign currency, to the extent it does, the Company will be subject to risks associated with changes in currency exchange rates. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved.

29

The Company may hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate the Company against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit the Company’s ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the Company’s portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s President and Treasurer have concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. The Company’s business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against the Company.
