DISTRIBUTIONS TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS DISTRIBUTIONS TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS
To qualify to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, we must generally distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our Investment Company Taxable Income. The amount to be paid out as distributions to our stockholders is determined by our Board of Directors and is based upon management’s estimate of Investment Company Taxable Income and net long-term capital gains, as well as amounts to be distributed in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code. Based on that estimate, our Board of Directors declares monthly distributions, and supplemental distributions, as appropriate, to stockholders each quarter and deemed distributions of long-term capital gains annually as of the end of the fiscal year, as applicable.
The U.S. federal income tax characteristics of cash distributions paid to our common stockholders generally are reported to stockholders on IRS Form 1099 after the end of each calendar year. Estimates of tax characterization made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax characterization of cash distributions for the full year. Estimates made on a quarterly basis are updated as of each interim reporting date. The tax characterization of cash distributions paid to common stockholders during the calendar year ended December 31, 2025 was 51.3% from ordinary income and 48.7% from capital gains. The tax characterization of cash distributions paid to common stockholders during the calendar year ended December 31, 2024 was 52.9% from ordinary income and 47.1% from capital gains.
We paid the following cash distributions to our common stockholders for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024.

(A)Represents a supplemental distribution to common stockholders.
Aggregate cash distributions to our common stockholders declared and paid for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 were $57.2 million, $61.0 million, and $76.1 million, respectively.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, Investment Company Taxable Income exceeded distributions declared and paid, and, in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code, we elected to treat $21.3 million, $36.7 million, and $18.7 million, respectively, of the first distributions paid subsequent to fiscal year-end, as having been paid in the prior year. In addition, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the net capital loss carryforward balance was $17.3 million and no distributions paid subsequent to fiscal year-end will be treated as having been paid in the prior year. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, net capital gains exceeded distributions declared and paid, and, in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code, we elected to treat $18.7 million, and $1.4 million, respectively, of the first distributions paid subsequent to fiscal year-end as having been paid in the prior year.
We may distribute our net long-term capital gains, if any, in cash or elect to retain some or all of such gains, pay taxes at the U.S. federal corporate-level income tax rate on the amount retained, and designate the retained amount as a “deemed distribution.” If we elect to retain net long-term capital gains and deem them distributed, each U.S. common stockholder will be treated as if they received a distribution of their pro-rata share of the retained net long-term capital gain and the U.S. federal income tax paid. As a result, each U.S. common stockholder will (i) be required to report their pro-rata share of the retained gain on their tax return as long-term capital gain, (ii) receive a refundable tax credit for their pro-rata share of federal income tax paid by us on the retained gain, and (iii) increase the tax basis of their shares of common stock by an amount equal to the deemed distribution less the tax credit. To use the deemed distribution approach, we must provide written notice to our common stockholders prior to the expiration of 60 days after the close of the relevant taxable year. For the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024 we did not elect to retain long-term capital gains and to treat them as deemed distributions to common stockholders.
