• The new shares were issued under subscription agreements and sold in an offering exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) and Regulations D and S.

Key Details

• Shares issued: 2,904,955 Class I shares (issued as of July 1, 2026; final tally determined July 27, 2026); total Class I shares outstanding after issuance: 98,406,497.
• Proceeds: Aggregate consideration of $52.3 million from the issuance.
• Dividend: $0.14 per Class I share declared July 27, 2026; payable on/about August 27, 2026; record date July 31, 2026; cash dividends may be reinvested under the company’s dividend reinvestment plan.
• NAV and offering status: NAV per Class I share $18.01 (June 30, 2026); aggregate NAV ≈ $1.7 billion (July 27, 2026). The company continues a New Continuous Offering of unregistered shares on a monthly basis. Historical totals: Initial Private Offering — 60,238,425 shares ($1.2B); New Continuous Offering — 67,379,923 shares ($1.3B); combined 127,618,348 shares ($2.5B).

Why It Matters

• The company raised $52.3M of new capital through an exempt private issuance, increasing Class I shares outstanding to ~98.4M — a relevant supply/dilution metric for shareholders.
• The declared $0.14 dividend (with a reinvestment option) and the reported NAV ($18.01 per share; aggregate ≈ $1.7B) provide current measures of cash distribution policy and portfolio value that investors use to assess income and net asset backing.
• Ongoing monthly sales under the New Continuous Offering indicate continued capital raising activity, which can affect share issuance and future investor returns; the offering and dividend reinvestment plan may increase outstanding shares over time.
