____________________________________________________(1) Measure excludes syndicated loans the Fund holds as part of its liquidity management strategy. The Fund did not hold any syndicated loans as of March 31, 2026.
(2) Measure excludes equity investments. As of March 31, 2026, 5.9% of the Fund’s investment portfolio consisted of equity investments (at fair value).
(3) First lien senior secured loans are inclusive of both first lien and unitranche loans. Weighted based on the aggregate fair value of the total debt investments as of March 31, 2026.
(4) Calculated as debt investments which bear interest floating rate in nature, divided by total debt investments. Weighted based on the aggregate fair value of the total debt investments as of March 31, 2026.
(5) Debt or preferred equity investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal, interest or dividend payments become materially past due, or when there is reasonable doubt that principal, interest or dividends will be collected. 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. Non-accrual debt or preferred equity investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal, interest, or dividends are paid, or are expected to be paid, and, in management’s judgment are likely to remain current. The Fund may make exceptions to this policy and partially record interest if the loan has sufficient collateral value or is in process of collection and there is the expectation of collection of principal and a portion of the contractual interest. Weighted based on fair value of the total applicable investments as of March 31, 2026.
(6) Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. This includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets or liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information available and may require significant management judgment or estimation. Weighted based on the aggregate fair value of the total investments as of March 31, 2026.
(7) The Fund's debt-to-equity ratio represents the ratio of total principal outstanding debt to net assets. This ratio measures the Fund's financial leverage and does not reflect the asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(8) Company age refers to the number of years since each portfolio company's commencement of operations, as of the Fund’s initial investment date. Weighted average company age is weighted based on the aggregate fair value of the total investments as of March 31, 2026.
(9) EBITDA refers to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") in accordance with the underlying governing documents. These calculations are based on the weighted-average last-twelve-month EBITDA (as of the initial deal closing date) for all investments. Amounts are weighted based on the fair value of each respective investment as of March 31, 2026. Amounts were derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements as of the initial deal closing date, have not been independently verified by the Fund, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, the Fund makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information.
(10) Measure excludes investments where EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as investments that are underwritten on recurring revenue.
(11) LTV is calculated as total net debt through each respective loan tranche in which the Fund holds an investment divided by estimated enterprise value of the portfolio company as reported by the respective borrower at the time of investment closing. Weighted average LTV is weighted based on the aggregate fair value of each respective investment as of March 31, 2026.
(12) ICR is estimated as the ratio as of the time of the investment closing of the trailing twelve-month period EBITDA to cash interest projected to be paid over a twelve-month period. EBITDA is calculated in accordance with the underlying governing documents, over the last twelve months as reported by respective borrowers at the time of investment closing. Weighted average interest coverage ratio is weighted based on the aggregate fair value of the total applicable investments as of March 31, 2026.
(13) Represents the percentage of the number of investments in portfolio companies that are owned by a private equity firm, as a percentage of the aggregate fair value of total applicable investments as of March 31, 2026.
(14) Represents the percentage of the number of investments in portfolio companies which include one or more covenants in the credit agreement, as a percentage of the aggregate fair value of total applicable investments as of March 31, 2026.
(15) Represents the percentage of the number of investments in portfolio companies where Monroe Capital LLC or its affiliates are categorized as either agent or joint lead arranger, as a percentage of the aggregate fair value of total applicable investments as of March 31, 2026.
Note: Data is as of March 31, 2026 unless otherwise indicated. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve results comparable to those of any of Monroe Capital LLC’s or its affiliates prior funds or be able to implement its investment strategy, achieve its investment objectives or avoid significant losses. There can be no assurances that any of the trends described herein will continue or will not reverse.
