FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this press release constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, investment activity, financial condition or results of operations and involve a number of substantial risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the Company’s control. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Actual events, investment activity, performance, condition or results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including as a result of changes in economic, market or other conditions, and the impact of such changes on the Company’s and its portfolio companies’ results of operations and financial condition, and those factors described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information on these risks and other potential factors that could affect actual events and the Company’s performance and financial results, including important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from plans, estimates or expectations included herein or discussed on the webcast/conference call, is or will be included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. In addition, there is no assurance that the Company or any of its affiliates will purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock at any specific discount levels or in any specific amounts. There is no assurance that the market price of the Company’s shares, either absolutely or relative to NAV, will increase as a result of any share purchase program, or that any purchase plan will enhance stockholder value over the long term.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To provide additional information about the Company’s results, the Company’s management has discussed in this press release the Company’s net leverage ratio (calculated as (i) total debt less (ii) cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash divided by total net assets), which is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP measure is included to supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and because the Company uses such measure to monitor and evaluate its leverage and financial condition and believes this presentation enhances investors’ ability to analyze trends in the Company’s business and to evaluate the Company’s leverage and ability to take on additional debt. However, this non-GAAP measure has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial results as reported under GAAP.
This non-GAAP measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, this non-GAAP measure is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with its corresponding GAAP measure.

Weighted average portfolio yields on debt investments for periods shown are the annualized rates of interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio during the period. The calculation of weighted average portfolio yields on debt investments excludes any non-income producing debt investments, but includes debt investments on non-accrual status. The weighted average yields reported for these periods are annualized and reflect the weighted average yields to maturities. |
