Interest Rate Swaps

The Fund entered into interest rate swaps to reduce the Fund’s exposure to interest rate volatility in relation to the Denali Credit Agreement, the Aspen Credit Agreement, the Tango Credit Agreement, the Pioneer Credit Agreement and the Rover Credit Agreement. Under the interest rate swap agreements, the Fund pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate of SOFR. The interest rate swaps of the Fund are not hedging instruments in accordance with ASC 815.

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the counterparties to the Fund’s interest rate swap agreements and certain information related to the Fund’s interest rate swap instruments are presented on the consolidated schedules of investments.

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the interest rate swaps was approximately $74.3 million and $(5.7) million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $76.8 million and $(11.9) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which is included in “derivatives” under “net unrealized gains/(losses)” in the Fund’s consolidated statements of operations. The net swap amounts are settled quarterly, which began in February 2025, and are recorded as net realized gains/(losses) in “net realized and unrealized gains on investments and derivatives” in the Fund’s consolidated statements of operations. There were net interest rate swap payments received (paid) resulting in a realized gain (loss) of $(1.0) million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $(1.1) million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
