Filing Explained
Fourth-quarter distributions are declared, but DRIP settlement may use new shares or market purchases; dilution is possible, not established.
This Form 8-K reports a completed board declaration for fourth-quarter 2026 distributions; under the DRIP, distributions for non-opted-out holders may be settled with newly issued common shares or open-market purchases, so dilution is possible but no issuance is disclosed.
If Horizon uses newly issued shares, the total share count would increase and existing holders’ percentage ownership would decrease absent offsetting changes. The alternative is for the plan administrator to buy shares in the open market.
The board based the declaration partly on estimated taxable income, which may differ from consolidated GAAP net income because of valuation changes, recognition differences and spillover income. Final taxable income and distribution tax attributes will be determined after the tax year closes.

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.
