Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Routine advisory-fee share issuances were recorded for April–June 2025; VWAPs and share counts are disclosed.

The Form 4 documents equity-based fee payments to the Adviser: 130,353.19 shares at $3.6465 (April), 135,113.97 shares at $3.6634 (May), and 115,123.38 shares at $4.1289 (June). It quantifies post-transaction beneficial holdings across multiple affiliated entities and custodial accounts, clarifying indirect ownership and disclaimers. This provides transparency on insider-related dilution and concentration but does not, by itself, state any change in control.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Disclosure clarifies indirect holdings and the adviser’s compensation-in-kind but contains no new governance action.

The filing explains that the Adviser receives a portion of fees in common stock valued by a 10-day VWAP and lists specific share issuances and the entities holding shares (Drugcrafters, PCMG, Governance Re Ltd., HCM, and the Adviser). It also discloses custodial holdings for Mr. Dondero’s children and the Dugaboy Investment Trust positions, with standard beneficial ownership disclaimers. The reporting and signature by attorney-in-fact demonstrate compliance with Section 16 reporting requirements.
