This calculation includes all Direct Lending investments for which fair value is determined by the Fund’s valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”) and excludes quoted assets and ABL investments, as well as companies with negative or de minimis EBITDA.

This calculation includes all Direct Lending investments for which fair value is determined by the Valuation Designee and excludes quoted assets and ABL investments. Loan-to-value is calculated as the current total net debt through each respective loan tranche divided by the estimated enterprise value of the portfolio company.

Accordingly, the Fund makes no representation or warranty in respect of the information. |
