Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Median 12-month EBITDA:		$88 million⁽²⁾
Weighted average net leverage:		5.0x⁽²⁾⁽³⁾

(d) Exhibits

(1)	Amounts were derived from the most recently available financial statements provided by portfolio companies which have not been independently verified by us and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Such amounts have not been independently estimated by us, and accordingly, we take no responsibility for such numbers and make no representation or warranty in respect of this information.

(2)	Metrics exclude one liquid loan. Metrics also exclude one recurring revenue investment, which are investments in portfolio companies in which the Company lends based on a multiple of recurring revenue generated by the portfolio company and not based on a multiple of EBITDA. Weighted average metrics are calculated as a percentage of funded par value of debt investments.

(3)	Net leverage is the ratio of total senior debt minus cash divided by EBITDA and taking into account leverage through the tranche to which the Company is a lender.

(4)	Calculated using total senior debt minus cash divided by total enterprise value estimated by the private equity sponsor or market comparables and taking into account leverage through the tranche to which the Company is a lender.

(5)	Interest coverage for a particular portfolio company is calculated by taking EBITDA and dividing by annualized latest reported interest expense.

(6)	Computed as (a) the annual stated spread, plus reference rate, as applicable, plus the annual accretion of discounts, plus the annual unused fees, as applicable on debt securities divided by (b) total debt investments at cost included in such securities. Actual yields earned over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented herein.
