(1)

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt securities are hypothetical market yields and premiums/(discounts). The hypothetical market yield is defined as the exit price of an investment in a hypothetical market to hypothetical market participants where buyers and sellers are willing participants. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity and warrant securities are revenue multiples and portfolio company specific adjustment factors. Additional inputs used in the option pricing model (“OPM”) include industry volatility, risk free interest rate and estimated time to exit. Significant increases (decreases) in the inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement, depending on the materiality of the investment. For some investments, additional consideration may be given to data from the last round of financing, merger or acquisition events near the measurement date.

(2)

Weighted averages are calculated based on the fair value of each investment.

(3)

Represents amounts used when the Company has determined that market participants would use such multiples when pricing the investments.

(4)

Represents amounts used when the Company has determined market participants would take into account these discounts when pricing the investments.

(5)

Represents the range of industry volatility used by market participants when pricing the investment.

(6)

Includes debt investments originated within the past three months, for which cost approximates fair value, unless events have occurred during the period that would indicate a different valuation is warranted.

(7)

Represents investments where there is an observable transaction or pending event for the investment.

(8)

The Company determined the value of its subordinated note of the Senior Credit Corp 2022 LLC based on the total assets less the total liabilities senior to the subordinated notes held at Senior Credit Corp 2022 LLC in an amount not exceeding par under the Enterprise Value technique.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of the fair value measurement of assets using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (1) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets) and gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), and a description of where those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets) are reported in the statement of income (or activities); (2) purchases, sales, issues, and settlements (each type disclosed separately); and (3) transfers in and transfers out of Level 3 (for example, transfers due to changes in the observability of significant inputs), by class of asset.
