Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per share, to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and certain GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan activity and operations. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures are useful for management, investors, analysts, and other interested parties in evaluating our performance but should not be viewed in isolation and are not a substitute for financial measures computed in accordance with GAAP. For management description and calculation of Distributable Earnings, see appendix section entitled “Key Definitions and Methodologies”, and for the reconciliation of the applicable GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the appendix section entitled, “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Distributable Earnings”. We have not provided reconciliations of expected distributable earnings for the future period(s), in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. We are unable, without unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures. These items include changes in unrealized gains, non-cash equity compensation expenses and the impact of non-cash adjustments for current expected credit losses that are difficult to predict in order to include in a GAAP estimate.

8 BENEF IC IAL STRUCTURE What is a Business Development Company? What are requirements? A closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated under the 1940 Act required to invest at least 70% of assets in private or small public companies via long-term debt or equity capital Ordinarily invest via long-term debt or equity capital Maintain total asset coverage of at least 150% Report on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K Invest at least 70% of assets in eligible U.S. companies Restrict affiliated transactions What are potential benefits of a BDC structure for AFC? As a BDC, AFC can originate direct loans to public and private middle market companies outside of cannabis, a sector facing unique challenges Enables Investments Outside Cannabis As a BDC, AFC will seek to issue loans to both operators lacking RE as well as high-growth plant-touching and ancillary businesses (e.g. brands, software) Expands Opportunity Set Within Cannabis BDCs can offer deal structures better tailored to borrower needs, such as convertible debt, unsecured loans, revenue-linked loans, or equipment financing Increases Flexibility in Loan Structuring The BDC structure provides AFC capacity to increase leverage as it constructs a diversified portfolio of direct loans to the U.S. lower middle markets Optimizes Access to Efficient Capital With a broader mandate, AFC can deploy across industries, loan types and borrower profiles, improving loan selectivity while potentially reducing risks in the portfolio Diversifies Exposures Note: Past performance does not predict future returns.

19 Distributable Earnings The determination of Distributable Earnings is substantially similar to the determination of Core Earnings under our Management Agreement, provided that Core Earnings is a component of the calculation of any Incentive Fees earned under the Management Agreement for the applicable time period, and thus Core Earnings is calculated prior to Incentive Fee expense, while the calculation of Distributable Earnings accounts for any Incentive Fees earned for such time period. We define Distributable Earnings as, for a specified period, the net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) for the period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income (loss); provided that Distributable Earnings does not exclude, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as OID, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash, (iv) provision for (reversal of) current expected credit losses, (v) taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) (income) loss, net of any dividends received from TRS, and (vi) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash charges, in each case after discussions between our adviser and our independent directors and after approval by a majority of such independent directors. We caution readers that our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs. We have not provided reconciliations of expected distributable earnings for the future period(s), in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. We are unable, without unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures. These items include changes in unrealized gains, non-cash equity compensation expenses and the impact of non-cash adjustments for current expected credit losses that are difficult to predict in order to include in a GAAP estimate. Please see page 18 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to Distributable Earnings. Origination Issue Discount (“OID”) Origination Issue Discount (“OID”) is recognized as a discount to the funded loan principal and is accreted to income over the term of the loan. Loans originated before July 31, 2020 were acquired by us, net of unaccreted OID, which we accrete to income over the remaining term of the loan. In some cases, additional OID is recognized from additional purchase discounts attributed to the fair value of equity positions that were separated from the loans prior to our acquisition of such loans. The estimated YTM Future Cash Interest Rate on loans with floating rates are based on its February 25, 2026, benchmark rate. Yield to Maturity (“YTM”) YTM excludes loans on nonaccrual status. Estimated YTM includes a variety of fees and features that affect the total yield, which may include, but is not limited to, OID, exit fees, prepayment fees, unused fees and contingent features. The estimated YTM calculations require management to make estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the timing and amounts of loan draws on delayed draw loans, the timing collectability of exit fees, the probability and timing of prepayments and the probability of contingent features occurring. For example, certain credit agreements may contain provisions pursuant to which certain PIK interest rates and fees earned by us under such credit agreements will decrease upon the satisfaction of certain specified criteria which we believe may improve the risk profile of the applicable borrower. To be conservative, we have not assumed any prepayment penalties or early payoffs in our estimated YTM calculation. Estimated YTM is based on current management estimates and assumptions, which may change. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
