| (2) | Net realized and unrealized losses include rounding adjustments
to reconcile change in net asset value per share. |
| (3) | Management monitors available taxable earnings, including
net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. To the extent the Company’s
taxable earnings fall below the total amount of the Company’s distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions
may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders. The ultimate tax character of the Company’s earnings
cannot be determined until tax returns are prepared after the end of the fiscal year. The amounts and sources of distributions reported
are only estimates (based on an average of the reported tax character historically) and are not being provided for U.S. tax reporting
purposes. |
| (4) | Total return based on market value equals the increase or
decrease of ending market value over beginning market value, plus distributions, divided by the beginning market value, assuming distribution
reinvestment prices obtained under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. Total return is not annualized. |
| (5) | Total return based on net asset value equals the increase
or decrease of ending net asset value over beginning net asset value, plus distributions, divided by the beginning net asset value. Total
return is not annualized. |
| (7) | Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of
the year-to-date investment sales and debt repayments or year-to-date investment purchases over the average of the total investments
at fair value. |
