Key Terms

net investment income financial

Net investment income is the money an investor or fund actually keeps from its investments after subtracting the costs of running those investments (like management fees, interest, and losses). Think of it as your paycheck from owning assets: gross returns minus the bills needed to earn them. Investors watch it because it shows how profitable the investment activities are, influences dividend payouts and cash available for growth, and helps compare true performance across funds or companies.

spillover income financial

Spillover income is money a business earns indirectly from its main activities, like fees, royalties, sales of related products, or revenue from partners that benefit from the company’s core operations. It matters to investors because it can boost total revenue, smooth out ups and downs in the main business, and indicate scalability—like a restaurant that rents out its unused kitchen for extra income, providing added stability and growth potential without changing its main product.

taxable income financial

Taxable income is the portion of an individual’s or company’s income that remains after legally allowed deductions and exemptions and that the tax authority uses to calculate how much tax is owed. For investors it matters because it determines the actual tax bill that reduces an individual’s after-tax returns and a company’s net profit available for dividends, reinvestment, or valuation — like the amount left after the government’s share is taken out.

generally accepted accounting principles financial

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are a standardized set of rules and practices companies use to record and report their financial results, like a common recipe so dishes from different cooks can be fairly compared. Investors rely on GAAP because it makes company earnings, assets and liabilities consistent and transparent across businesses, helping them compare performance, spot risks, and make informed decisions about buying or selling stock.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan financial

A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.

DRIP financial

A DRIP (dividend reinvestment plan) automatically uses cash dividends to buy additional shares of the same company instead of paying the money to the investor. Like using spare change from each paycheck to buy more of something you already own, a DRIP helps holdings grow over time through compounding without requiring the investor to decide each time, which can boost long‑term returns but reduce short‑term cash income.

FARMINGTON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: HRZN) (“Horizon”) (the “Company”), an affiliate of Monroe Capital, announced today that its board of directors has declared regular monthly cash distributions of $0.06 per share, payable in each of July, August and September 2026, and, in accordance with the Company’s previously announced intent to make additional distributions with its undistributed net investment income, or “spillover” income, special cash distributions of $0.03 per share, payable in each of July, August and September 2026. The following tables show these distributions, payable as set forth in the tables below, total $0.27 per share. Since its 2010 initial public offering, Horizon has paid a total of $368 million in distributions to its shareholders.

Special Monthly Distributions Payable in Third Quarter 2026

Ex-Dividend Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Amount per Share
June 17, 2026	June 17, 2026	July 15, 2026	$0.03
July 16, 2026	July 16, 2026	August 14, 2026	$0.03
August 17, 2026	August 17, 2026	September 15, 2026	$0.03
		Total:	$0.09

The Company’s board of directors (“Board”) sets the level of distributions for each quarter based on its results of operations, spillover income and longer-term outlook, including expected operating results for the current fiscal year.

When declaring distributions, Horizon’s Board reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which may differ from consolidated net income under generally accepted accounting principles due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii) the amount of spillover income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of taxable income for each tax year, as well as the tax attributes for distributions in such tax year, will be made after the close of the tax year.

Horizon maintains a “Dividend Reinvestment Plan” (“DRIP”) that provides for the reinvestment of distributions on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder has elected to receive distributions in cash. As a result, if Horizon declares a distribution, its stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP by the distribution record date will have their distribution automatically reinvested into additional shares of Horizon’s common stock. Horizon has the option to satisfy the share requirements of the DRIP through the issuance of new shares of common stock or through open market purchases of common stock by the DRIP plan administrator. Newly-issued shares will be valued based upon the final closing price of Horizon’s common stock on a specified valuation date for each distribution as determined by Horizon’s Board. Shares purchased in the open market to satisfy the DRIP requirements will be valued based upon the average price of the applicable shares purchased by the DRIP plan administrator, before any associated brokerage or other costs, which are borne by Horizon.
