The vesting of 2,314 shares was triggered when the compensation committee certified that adjusted net asset value growth for a three-year period ended December 31, 2025 reached 200% of the performance targets on previously granted 2023 RSUs, leading to the additional performance-based shares being earned.

The 3,904 performance-based restricted shares granted on February 3, 2026 will cliff vest, if at all, on December 31, 2028. Vesting depends on achievement of specified performance metrics under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, so some or all shares may fail to vest.
