Basis of Presentation

Management has determined that the Company meets the definition of an investment company and adheres to the accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for an investment company requires investments to be recorded at fair value.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related financial information have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-K and Regulation S-X under the 1933 Act.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, (ii) the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period and (iii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Basis of Consolidation

As provided under ASC 946, the Company will 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 consolidates the results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, with original maturities of 90 days or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, these deposits may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash collateral that had been pledged to cover obligations of the Company according to its derivative contracts and demand deposits held at Goldman Sachs International, in addition to cash funded to escrow for prefunding deals. Management believes the credit risk related to its demand deposits is minimal.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds received from a sale or paydown and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized gains or losses primarily reflects the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses with respect to investments realized during the period.

Valuation of Investments

The Company measures the value of its investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). Fair value 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. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company considers its principal market to be the market that has the greatest volume and level of activity.

ASC 820 defines hierarchical levels of fair value that prioritize and rank the level of observability of inputs used in determination of fair value. These levels are summarized below:

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Depending on the relative liquidity in the markets for certain investments, the Company may transfer investments to Level 3 if it determines that observable quoted prices, obtained directly or indirectly, are severely limited, or not available, or otherwise not reliable. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurs. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and the consideration of factors specific to the investment.

Under procedures established by the Board, the Company intends to value investments for which market quotations are readily available at such market quotations. Assets listed on an exchange will be valued at their last sales prices as reported to the consolidated quotation service at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date of determination. If no such sales of such securities occurred, such securities will be valued at the bid price as reported by an independent, third-party pricing service on the date of determination. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available will be valued at fair value as determined by the Adviser as the Company's valuation designee (in such capacity, the “Valuation Designee”), subject to the overall supervision of the Board. Such determination of fair values may involve subjective judgments and estimates, although the Valuation Designee will also engage independent valuation providers to review the valuation of each investment that constitutes a material portion of the Company’s portfolio and that does not have a readily available market quotation at least once annually. With respect to unquoted securities, the Valuation Designee, together with any independent valuation advisers, and subject to the oversight of the Board, will fair value each investment considering, among other measures, discounted cash flow models, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public and other factors. The types of factors that may be considered in determining the fair values of investments include, but are not limited to, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings. The Company intends to retain one or more independent providers of financial advisory services to assist the Valuation Designee and the Board by performing certain third-party valuation services. The Company may appoint additional or different third-party valuation firms in the future.

When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs with respect to a fair-valued portfolio company or comparable company, the Valuation Designee will use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate and/or assist the Company in the valuation of such portfolio company. Because the Company expects that there will not be readily available market quotations for many of the investments in its portfolio, the Company expects to value many of its investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee using a documented valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market quotation, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had readily available market quotations existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

On a quarterly basis, with respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Valuation Designee will undertake a multi-step valuation process, as described below:

The Company utilizes several valuation techniques that use unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions in determining the fair value of its Level 3 investments. The valuation techniques, as well as the key unobservable inputs that have a significant impact on the Company’s investments classified and valued as Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy, are described in Note 6. Fair Value Measurements. The unobservable inputs and assumptions may differ by asset and in the application of the Company's valuation methodologies. The reported fair value estimates could vary materially if the Company had chosen to incorporate different unobservable inputs and assumptions.

All values assigned to investments by the procedures established by the Board will be binding on all Company investors. When pricing of the Company’s Shares is necessary outside of the normal quarterly process, the Adviser will, among other things, review whether, to its knowledge, significant events have occurred since the last quarterly valuation which might affect the fair value of any of the Company's portfolio investments.

The determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market quotation, the fair value of investments may differ materially from the values that would have been determined had a readily available market quotation existed for such investments. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment that does not have a readily available market quotation in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less value than the value recorded by the Company.

The SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”) providing a framework for fund valuation practices. Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 permits (but does not require) boards, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions, to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must determine the fair value of a security. Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 31a-4”) provides the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. On August 3, 2023, the Board elected to designate the Adviser as the Company’s Valuation Designee, which became effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Company has adopted certain revisions to its valuation policies and procedures in order to comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4.

Receivables/Payables From Investments Sold/Purchased

Receivables/payables from investments sold/purchased consist of amounts receivable or payable by the Company for transactions that have not settled at the reporting date.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates effective on the last business day of the period; and (ii) purchases and sales of investments, borrowings and repayments of such borrowings, income, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.

The Company includes net changes in fair values on investments held resulting from foreign exchange rate fluctuations in translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, if any. Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

Financial and Derivative Instruments

We invest in derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Foreign currency forward contracts are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. Foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses that occur upon the cash settlement of the foreign currency forward contracts are included in net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency forward contracts on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company uses interest rate swaps as derivative instruments to hedge the Company’s fixed rate debt, and therefore the periodic payment will be recognized as a component of interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The change in fair value for the effective hedge will also be recognized as a component of interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, which is offset within interest expense to the extent of the fair value change for the hedged risk on our hedged Notes.

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt investments represents the original cost, including loan origination fees and upfront fees received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums are recorded as interest income in the current period.

The Company has investments in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind ("PIK") provisions. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity. Such income is included in interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. If at any point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized income is generally reversed through interest income. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC after the Corporate Conversion, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to shareholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected cash.

If the portfolio company's valuation indicates the value of the PIK security is not sufficient to cover the contractual PIK interest, the Company will not accrue additional PIK interest income and will record an allowance for any accrued PIK interest receivable as a reduction of interest income in the period the Company determines it is not collectible.

Debt investments are generally placed on non-accrual status when interest payments are at least 90 days past due or there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Dividend Income

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies.

Other Income

The Company may receive various fees in the ordinary course of business such as structuring, consent, waiver, amendment, syndication fees as well as fees for managerial assistance rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

Organization Expenses and Offering Expenses

Costs associated with the organization of the Company were expensed on the Company's consolidated statement of operations as incurred. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs of forming and organizing the Company.

Costs associated with the offering of the Company’s Shares, and any additional expenses for other offerings, are capitalized and included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and amortized over a twelve-month period beginning with the commencement of operations or the point in time when the cost was incurred if after the commencement of operations. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with the Company’s Private Offering of its Shares.

Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Issuance Costs

Deferred financing and debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These expenses are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight-line method. Debt issuance costs are presented in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as a direct deduction of the debt liability to which the costs pertain.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We have elected, and intend to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. So long as we maintain our tax treatment as a RIC, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute (or are deemed to distribute) at least annually to our shareholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by us would represent obligations of our investors and would not be reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of the sum of (i) our “investment company taxable income” for that year (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), which is generally our ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of our realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long-term capital losses and (ii) its net tax-exempt income.

We are generally subject to a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax if we do not distribute to our shareholders in a timely manner in each taxable year an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of our ordinary income for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (iii) certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax.

We follow ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires us to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

Our tax returns are subject to tax examination by major taxing authorities for a period of three years from when they are filed. We are additionally not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. As a result, no income tax liability or expense has been recorded on the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the consolidated statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not incur any interest or penalties.

Prior to the Corporate Conversion, we were treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and incurred no U.S. federal, state, city, or foreign income tax liability on income earned during that period. Instead, each partner reported his or her share of the Company's income, capital gain/(loss) and credit on his or her own tax return. Consequently, no provision for income taxes had been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Distributions

To the extent that the Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to make quarterly distributions to its Shareholders. Distributions to Shareholders are recorded on the record date. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company's earnings, financial condition, maintenance of the Company's tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time.

Segment Reporting

In accordance with ASC Topic 280, the Company has determined that it has a single operating and reporting segment with an investment objective to generate both net investment income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation through debt and preferred equity investments. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM"), which comprises the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assesses the performance and makes operating decisions of the Company on a consolidated basis, primarily based on the Company’s net increase in shareholders' equity resulting from operations. In addition to numerous other factors and metrics, the CODM utilizes net investment income as a key metric in determining the amount of dividends to be distributed to the Company's shareholders. As the Company's operations comprise a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as “total assets,” and the significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, (“ASU 2023-09”), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires enhanced disclosures in connection with an entity's effective tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid. The ASU 2023-09 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 effective December 31, 2025 and determined it has no material impact on its consolidated financial information at this time.

In December 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-04, "Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASU 2024-04”): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments”, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as induced conversions rather than as debt extinguishments. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, though early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated and will continue to evaluate the adoption of ASU 2024-04 and determined it has no material impact on its consolidated financial statements at this time.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance and does not expect a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
