Most recent (2026-06-30): National Association (the “ Trustee ”) entered into a Seventh Supplemental Indenture (the “ Seventh Supplemental Indenture ” and, together with the Base Indenture (defined herein), the “ Indenture ”) related to the $ 750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 6.350% notes due 2033 ( the “ Notes ” ), which supplements that certain Base Indenture, dated as of March 21, 2024 (as may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Base Indenture ”). The Notes will mature on June 30, 2033 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Fund’s option at any time

Why it matters and what changed

Financing terms set the fund's cost of leverage and its dry powder. Amendments also reveal what lenders currently think of the collateral: improving spreads and rising commitments signal lender confidence; shrinking availability or margin increases signal the opposite. This fund logged 33 of these in the covered window; the cadence itself is part of the signal.

33 occurrence(s) of this event type stored; earlier instances are on the Fired Flags tab.

The fund leaned harder on leverage: 59% -> 64% of its allowed leverage in use in one period (period ended 2026-03-31). (Rule C22: Leverage creep: headroom down >= 5 percentage points in one period; Notify.)

Why it matters and what changed

The fund leaned meaningfully harder on its leverage in a single period. Even far from the ceiling, the direction and speed of travel matter; creep compounds quietly.

Why it matters and what changed

Distributions exceed net investment income. The gap is funded from capital (the investor's own money back) or gains, and a stated yield propped up this way is fragile.

incentive_fee_scheduleThe Company pays the Adviser a fee for its services under the Advisory Agreement consisting of two components, a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee and the incentive fee will ultimately be borne by the shareholders. Substantial additional fees and expenses may also be charged by the Administrator to the Company, which is an affiliate of the Adviser. Base Management Fee The base management fee is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25 % of the value of the Company’s net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable month. For purposes of the Advisory Agreement, net assets means our total assets less liabilities determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For the first calendar month in which the Company had operations, net assets was measured as the beginning net assets as of the date on which the Company broke escrow for the initial offering. Incentive Fee The incentive fee consists of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the incentive fee is based on a percentage of our income and a portion is based on a percentage of our capital gains, each as described below. A. Incentive Fee based on Income The portion based on our income is based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. " Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns " means, as the context requires, either the dollar value of, or percentage rate of return on the value of net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter from, interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that are received from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses accrued for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement entered into between the Company and the Administrator, and any interest expense or fees on any credit facilities or outstanding debt and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the incentive fee and any distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns include, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that has not yet been received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The impact of expense support payments and recoupments are also excluded from Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter, is compared to a "hurdle rate" of return of 1.25 % per quarter ( 5.0 % annualized). 153 Table of Contents The Company pays its Adviser an income based incentive fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in each calendar quarter as follows: • No incentive fee based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in any calendar quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.25 % per quarter ( 5.0 % annualized); • 100 % of the dollar amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than a rate of return of 1.43 % ( 5.72 % annualized). This "catch-up" portion is meant to provide the Adviser with approximately 12.5 % of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 1.43 % in any calendar quarter; and • 12.5 % of the dollar amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceed a rate of return of 1.43 % ( 5.72 % annualized). This reflects that once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 12.5 % of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns thereafter are allocated to the Adviser. These calculations are pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. B. Incentive Fee based on Cumulative Net Realized Gains The second component of the Incentive Fee, the Capital Gains Incentive Fee, is payable at the end of each calendar year in arrears. The amount payable equals 12.5 % of cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of such calendar, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains as calculated in accordance with GAAP.Text disclosurePending
