A summary of MSC Income’s Private Loan and LMM portfolio investments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is as follows (this information excludes Middle Market and Other Portfolio investments, which are discussed further below):

Fair value$848.5 $503.9

Average EBITDA (c)$32.9 $13.1 
___________________
(a)As of June 30, 2026, MSC Income had equity ownership in all of its LMM portfolio companies, and the average fully diluted equity ownership in those portfolio companies was 8%.
(b)The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates for all debt investments as of June 30, 2026, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt investments and any debt investments on non-accrual status, and are weighted based upon the principal amount of each applicable debt investment as of June 30, 2026. The weighted-average annual effective yield on MSC Income’s debt portfolio as of June 30, 2026, including debt investments on non-accrual status, was 9.7% for its Private Loan portfolio investments and 12.0% for its LMM portfolio investments. The weighted-average annual effective yield is not reflective of what an investor in shares of MSC Income’s common stock will realize on their investment because it does not reflect changes in the market value of MSC Income’s stock, MSC Income’s utilization of debt capital in its capital structure, MSC Income’s expenses or any sales load paid by an investor.
(c)The average EBITDA is calculated using a weighted-average for the Private Loan portfolio companies and a simple average for the LMM portfolio companies. These calculations exclude certain portfolio companies, including three Private Loan portfolio companies and four LMM portfolio companies, as EBITDA is not a meaningful valuation metric for MSC Income’s investments in these portfolio companies, and those portfolio companies whose primary operations have ceased and only residual value remains.
