• Distribution: $0.22 per share, record date March 31, 2026; pay date on/about April 29, 2026.

Why It Matters

• Capital and distribution: The unregistered share sale raised fresh capital (~$13.3M) which can support new lending or portfolio needs; the declared $0.22/share payout is relevant to income‑seeking shareholders.
• Portfolio profile: The Fund’s exposure is largely senior secured, floating‑rate private loans with a reported yield of 9.3% at cost — a profile that can provide income tied to short‑term rates but also carries credit and leverage considerations (net leverage ~4.8x, coverage ~2.3x).
• Caveats: Portfolio metrics are based on portfolio company reports (not independently verified), exclude certain loans as noted, and the reported NAV/figures are subject to change after financial close and the Fund’s quarterly 10‑Q filing.
