Chris Oberbeck

a for Our the to in origination tough thought own I answer. fourth thing quarter, that's us

over to outpace sort our payoffs ability in The what term. our said long from benefiting say the can where market, relationships don't changing. I feel think that we impossible I very earlier it new things I in of of to is But that confident see terms robust quarter we don't for comes exactly is out either. the a say. see invested benefiting in, from we And that changing that we've that

losing focused profitable And on robust levels growth. declining we're at even too. are deals in participate we're So, very we because certain to these markets,

So, there's a to want play. of on to judgments we going little that too, as where we want bit us and play making to how

kind your happen. the warning On much – shrink notice in a Obviously, second environment? the can things repayments obviously of part, Does more partners, you and growth, about there's active repayment? the you would of environment, to activity, say highly period, in this quicker how kind the it this get net

not there kind that a your – market of there? great, environment? in kind that it's Or your is is there does and on does it ever kind wide, of visibility even So, on any how any worse this dynamic that's that's repayments, get color criticism, not that of

Chris Oberbeck

to a offer in hard generalize. real they a processes, go want and you lot it's other negotiated a until then, a it's into periods situation process, they Everyone lot of that sometimes then think about There's is ones really a and and of don't they interest and over – they've more talk to visibility. live, and And time companies of done. lot and it had specific. get I get basically

of kind spectrum. So, a there's

period we've a we're Friday, got in that. like, into process the next and bank year, an going times, off of out thinking and of it's a we've find and half short feedback got updates to we're lot time other paying of on we on going sell and first in we're a investment we're Sometimes

between. situations of So, there's may then, of a – the pieces be sort in lot lot sides the – a of it's extreme. different those of And two

Henri Steenkamp

that said Chris say that I'd all true. is absolutely

if probably On your in run by to they're accurate. like point going even process. you'll in people fact driven that somebody a a process, see mostly margin, feels preempt it's And the is robust the markets,

payoff. be So, it's you might six a that think something for out months

a aggressive. But than the And know really get you at will otherwise. selling they're that's it, people Some the lot before business sooner margin.

Henri Steenkamp

how moment obviously missed the repayments, don't remaining cash is are of on things or because just at the bond level just, problem first the the a sort you think with from cash. of We did. what have offering we but that part, I We've asking that we bit of little issue have

quite And cash. of bit a so, we have

it quarter-end, was deploy. at million around $XX think, I to

especially million timing because, I we the relatively terms to facility, $XX.X can comfortable which credit the lot access if of and $XX of cash million that obviously, need, we again, to think if pretty course, it institutional be that not good market, all additional about the we utilize liquidity there's a concerned the more facility of the we the with of facility only need, about we cash if additional bond is the at allows availability a cash have really hand a moment. needs. feel us with bond for baby there's of then, market cash bond credit used.

we of the line credit. why that's So, have

have we the to So, of ability have our revolving line increase. credit

cash that on so, less at little a time. to hand allows And us maybe with the run

we comes cash your from, have where repayments. depending think redemptions, I also right, have we

coming repayments have in. we So,

have back. we coming about some visibility cash So,

We cash going have some visibility on out.

given that exactly. very paying at even that's million dynamic X.XX% anything and up not that's us came And $XX matched a informing offering of your on but on and decision you're efficient, well-priced of have the the so, or is million books, a very that things a cash earning being something where making. from you depending you're if cash it's $XX is X.XX%, cash against bond But obviously one right, we're

And a to there's arbitrage negative so, cash.

minimize And to our negative is arbitrage. Henri, points? then, unused want line basis the you XX so, And fee,

Henri Steenkamp

to then basis basis Yeah, points. drawn and we're XX% it's points XX until it drops XX

Mike Grisius

but expensive than XX and we're So, level Again, is about relative things a safety will. for points in that we have which are general of of paying is managing you those to cash XX standpoint, certainly the all some between but if considerations, bonds facility, the sold fund, of cash less basis talked then process. other negative from undrawn running is good to we've cash ongoing an arbitrage to
