Investment Valuations and Fair Value Measurements

Investments at Fair Value: Investments held by the Company are valued at fair value. Fair value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices or official closing prices on the primary exchange in which each security trades, or if no sales are reported, generally based on the midpoint of the valuation range obtained for debt investments from a quotation reporting system, established market makers or pricing service.

Investments for which market quotes are not readily available or are not considered reliable are valued at fair value according to procedures approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) based on similar instruments, internal assumptions and the weighting of the best available pricing inputs.

Investment Valuations and Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the "valuation designee" with respect to the fair valuation of the Company's portfolio securities, subject to oversight by and periodic reporting to the Board.

Fair Value Hierarchy: Assets and liabilities are classified by the Company into three levels based on valuation inputs used to determine fair value:

Level 1 values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.

Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets and quoted prices in inactive markets or other market observable inputs.

Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the assets.

Categorization within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1 Assets (Investments): The valuation techniques and significant inputs used to determine fair value are as follows:

Equity, (Level 1), generally includes common stock valued at the closing price on the primary exchange in which the security trades.

Level 2 Assets (Investments): The valuation techniques and significant inputs used to determine fair value are as follows:

Equity, (Level 2), generally includes warrants valued using quotes for comparable investments.

Level 3 Assets (Investments): The following valuation techniques and significant inputs are used to determine the fair value of investments in private debt and equity for which reliable market quotations are not available. Some of the inputs are independently observable however, a significant portion of the inputs and the internal assumptions applied are unobservable.

Debt, (Level 3), includes investments in privately originated senior secured debt. Such securities are valued based on specific pricing models, internal assumptions and the weighting of the best available pricing inputs. An income method approach incorporating a weighted average cost of capital and discount rate, or a market method approach using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, is generally used to determine fair value, though some cases use an enterprise value waterfall method. Valuation may also include a shadow rating method. Standard pricing inputs include but are not limited to the financial health of the issuer, place in the capital structure, value of other issuer debt, credit, industry, and market risk and events.

Equity, (Level 3), generally includes common stock, preferred stock and warrants. Such securities are valued based on specific pricing models, internal assumptions and the weighting of the best available pricing inputs. A market approach is generally used to determine fair value. Pricing inputs include, but are not limited to, financial health and relevant business developments of the issuer; EBITDA; market multiples of comparable companies; comparable market transactions and recent trades or transactions; issuer, industry and market events; and contractual or legal restrictions on the sale of the security. When a Black-Scholes pricing model is used it follows the income approach. The Black-Scholes pricing model takes into account the contract terms as well as multiple inputs, including: time value, implied volatility, equity prices and interest rates. A liquidity discount based on current market expectations, future events, minority ownership position and the period management reasonably expects to hold the investment may be applied.

Pricing inputs and weightings applied to determine value require subjective determination. Accordingly, valuations do not necessarily represent the amounts that may eventually be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, one debt investment with a fair value of $8,422 transitioned from a market approach valuation model to a yield analysis valuation model, and one debt investment with a fair value of $4,464 transitioned from a yield analysis and market approach valuation model to a market approach valuation model. The changes in approach were driven by considerations given to the financial performance of each portfolio company.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, three debt investments with an aggregate fair value of $13,830 transitioned from a yield analysis valuation model to a yield analysis and market approach valuation model and four debt investments with an aggregate fair value of $16,593 transitioned from a yield analysis valuation model to a market approach valuation model. The changes in approach were driven by considerations given to the financial performance of each portfolio company.

The Company generally utilizes the midpoint of a valuation range provided by an external, independent valuation firm in determining fair value.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has one equity investment with a fair value of $14,888 which is subject to a contractual sale restriction. The equity investment is subject to both a standard initial public offering lock-up period of six months which expires on November 9, 2026 (the “Standard Lock-up Period”) as well as a special lock-up period of 18 months which expires on November 13, 2027 (the “Special Lock-up Period”). Between the Standard Lock-up Period and Special Lock-up Period, the Company can initiate a secondary transaction; however, the Company does not have the ability to freely trade the equity investment with no restrictions until the end of the Special Lock-up Period unless consent is obtained from the issuer. In accordance with ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, as the restrictions are specific to a contract that the Company is party to and not to all market participants, the restrictions are not taken into account into the measurement of the equity investment’s fair value.
