FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements.” Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “plan” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future—including statements relating to volume growth, share of sales and earnings per share growth, and statements expressing general views about future operating results—are forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023, and those described from time to time in reports that we have filed or in the future may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The forward-looking statements contained in this report involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including statements concerning:

•our, or our portfolio companies’, future operating results;

•our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

•the return or impact of current or future investments that we expect to make;

•our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

•the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;

•the impact of global health epidemics, wars and civil disorder and other events outside our control, including, but not limited to, the renewed hostilities in the Middle East and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, on our and our portfolio companies’ businesses and the global economy;

•uncertainty surrounding inflation and the financial stability of the United States, Europe, and China;

•the financial condition of, and ability of our current and prospective portfolio companies to, achieve their objectives;

•difficulty in obtaining financing or raising capital, especially in the current credit and equity environment, and the impact of a protracted decline in the liquidity of credit markets on our and our portfolio companies’ business;

•the level, duration and volatility of prevailing interest rates and credit spreads, magnified by the current turmoil in the credit markets;

•the phase-out and the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and the use of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a replacement rate on our operating results;

•adverse developments in the availability of desirable loan and investment opportunities whether they are due to competition, regulation or otherwise;

•a compression of the yield on our investments and the cost of our liabilities, as well as the level of leverage available to us;

•the impact of changes in laws or regulations governing our operations or the operations of our portfolio companies;

•our regulatory structure and tax treatment, including our ability to operate as a business development company and a regulated investment company;

•the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital;

•the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies;

•the ability of our investment adviser to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;

•the timing, form and amount of any dividend distributions;

•authoritative generally accepted accounting principles or policy changes from such standard-setting bodies as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Internal Revenue Service, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange LLC, and other authorities that we are subject to, as well as their counterparts in any foreign jurisdictions where we might do business; and

•any of the other risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify herein or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION

CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

(in thousands, except share data)

Endnote Explanations as of September 30, 2023 (Unaudited) and June 30, 2023

(1)The terms “Prospect,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Prospect Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise. The securities in which Prospect has invested were acquired in transactions that were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These securities may be resold only in transactions that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

(2)Fair value is determined by or under the direction of our Board of Directors. Unless otherwise indicated by endnote 47 below, all of our investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. In accordance with ASC 820, such investments are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. See Notes 2 and 3 within the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

(3)Security, or a portion thereof, is held by Prospect Capital Funding LLC (“PCF”), our wholly owned subsidiary and a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, and is pledged as collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility and such security is not available as collateral to our general creditors (see Note 4). The fair value of the investments held by PCF at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 were $2,969,277 and $3,051,668, respectively, representing 38.4% and 39.5% of our total investments, respectively.

(4)Medical Solutions Holdings, Inc. and Medical Solutions, LLC are joint borrowers on the Second Lien Term Loan.

(5)This investment is in the equity class of the collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) security, which is referred to as “Subordinated Structured Note,” or “SSN”. The SSN investments are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the excess cash flow generated from the underlying investments after payment of the contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses. The current estimated yield, calculated using amortized cost, is based on the current projections of this excess cash flow taking into account assumptions which have been made regarding expected prepayments, losses and future reinvestment rates. These assumptions are periodically reviewed and adjusted. Ultimately, the actual yield may be higher or lower than the estimated yield if actual results differ from those used for the assumptions.

(6)On December 28, 2022, we provided $15,000 of additional Second Lien Term Loans and $30,000 of Second Lien Delayed Draw Term Loan commitments to PGX Holdings, Inc. (“PGX”). Also as of December 28, 2022, we contributed our existing equity interest in PGX to PGX TopCo LLC, an entity in which we own 100% of the Class B non-voting shares. Given the only equity we hold in the PGX structure is non-voting, we classify our investment in the PGX structure as non-control/non-affiliate beginning December 31, 2022 and as of June 30, 2023. On September 28, 2023, in connection with a Chapter 11 process, PGX sold the majority of its assets to a new entity, Credit.com Holdings, LLC (“Credit.com”). As part of the transaction, we rolled the majority of our existing First Lien Term Loan into a new First Lien Term Loan A and new First Lien Term Loan B at Credit.com. We were also issued equity at Credit.com, which we hold through our Class B non-voting equity investment in PGX Topco II LLC.

(7)Engine Group, Inc., EMX Digital, Inc. (f/k/a Clearstream.TV, Inc.), and Engine International, Inc., are joint borrowers on the first lien term loan.

(8)Syndicated investment which was originated by a financial institution and broadly distributed.

(9)Investment on non-accrual status as of the reporting date (See Note 2).

(45)Since Prospect's initial common equity investment in NPRC on December 31, 2013, we have made numerous additional follow-on investments that have been used to invest in new and existing properties as well as online consumer loans and rated secured structured notes. These follow-on acquisitions are summarized by fiscal year below (excluding effects of return of capital distributions). Details of specific transactions are included in the respective fiscal year Form 10-K filing (refer to endnote 44 for NPRC term loan follow-on investments):

(46)Prospect owns 38.95% of the preferred stock of Legere Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc. (“Legere”), which represents 4.98% voting interest in Legere. Legere is the parent company of the borrower, Preventics, Inc. (d/b/a Legere Pharmaceuticals).

(47)This investment represents a Level 2 security in the ASC 820 table as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023. See Notes 2 and 3 within the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

(48)CP Iris Holdco I, Inc. and CP Iris Holdco II, Inc. are joint borrowers on the Second Lien Term Loan.

(49)Investment represents a unitranche loan with characteristics of a traditional first lien senior secured loan, but which pursuant to an agreement among lenders is divided among unaffiliated lenders into “first out” and “last out” tranches yielding different interest rates. Our investment is the “last out” tranche of such unitranche loan, subject to payment priority in favor of a first out tranche held by an unaffiliated lender.

(50)The Company has entered into an intercreditor agreement that entitles the Company to the “last out” tranche of the first lien secured loans, whereby the “first out” tranche will receive priority as to the “last out” tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest, and any other amounts due thereunder. Therefore, the Company receives a higher interest rate than the “first out” lenders and the Consolidated Schedule of Investments above reflects such higher rate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1. Organization

In this report, the terms “Prospect”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Prospect Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

Prospect is a financial services company that primarily lends to and invests in middle market privately-held companies. We are a closed-end investment company incorporated in Maryland. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). As a BDC, we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). We were organized on April 13, 2004, and were funded in an initial public offering completed on July 27, 2004.

On May 15, 2007, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary Prospect Capital Funding LLC (“PCF”), a Delaware limited liability company and a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which holds certain of our portfolio loan investments that are used as collateral for the revolving credit facility at PCF. On September 30, 2014, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary Prospect Yield Corporation, LLC (“PYC”) and effective October 23, 2014, PYC holds a portion of our collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), which we also refer to as subordinated structured notes (“SSNs”). Each of these subsidiaries have been consolidated since operations commenced.

We consolidate certain of our wholly owned and substantially wholly owned holding companies formed by us in order to facilitate our investment strategy. The following companies are included in our consolidated financial statements and are collectively referred to as the “Consolidated Holding Companies”: CP Holdings of Delaware LLC (“CP Holdings”); Credit Central Holdings of Delaware, LLC; Energy Solutions Holdings Inc.; First Tower Holdings of Delaware LLC (“First Tower Delaware”); MITY Holdings of Delaware Inc.; Nationwide Acceptance Holdings LLC; NMMB Holdings, Inc. (“NMMB Holdings”); NPH Property Holdings, LLC (“NPH”); Prospect Opportunity Holdings I, Inc. (“POHI”); SB Forging Company, Inc. (“SB Forging”); STI Holding, Inc.; UTP Holdings Group Inc. (“UTP Holdings”); Valley Electric Holdings I, Inc. (“Valley Holdings I”); and Valley Electric Holdings II, Inc. (“Valley Holdings II”).

We are externally managed by our investment adviser, Prospect Capital Management L.P. (“Prospect Capital Management” or the “Investment Adviser”). Prospect Administration LLC (“Prospect Administration” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Adviser, provides administrative services and facilities necessary for us to operate.

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and long-term capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in senior and subordinated debt and equity of private companies in need of capital for acquisitions, divestitures, growth, development, recapitalizations and other purposes. We work with the management teams or financial sponsors to identify investments with historical cash flows, asset collateral or contracted pro forma cash flows for investment.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q, ASC 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), and Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.

Under the 1940 Act, ASC 946, and the regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company or an operating company which provides substantially all of its services to benefit us. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Prospect, PCF, PYC, and the Consolidated Holding Companies. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial results of our non-substantially wholly-owned holding companies and operating portfolio company investments are not consolidated in the financial statements. Any operating companies owned by the Consolidated Holding Companies are not consolidated.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

All cash and restricted cash balances are maintained with high credit quality financial institutions. Cash and restricted cash held at financial institutions, at times, has exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limit. The Company has not incurred any losses on these accounts, and the credit risk exposure is mitigated by the financial strength of the banking institutions where the amounts are held.

Restricted cash relates to a contractual requirement for our Revolving Credit Facility to maintain a minimum cash balance in a reserve account. The contractual requirement is based upon our outstanding borrowing on our Revolving Credit Facility.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income, expenses, and gains and losses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, creditworthiness of the issuers of our investment portfolio and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ, and these differences could be material.

Investment Classification

We are a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. As required by the 1940 Act, we classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are those where there is the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual possesses a beneficial ownership of more than 25% of the voting securities of an investee company. Under the 1940 Act, “Affiliate Investments” are defined by a lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist through owning, controlling, or holding with power to vote, 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of another person. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.

As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, our qualifying assets as a percentage of total assets, stood at 82.29% and 82.08%, respectively.

Investment Transactions

Investments are recognized when we assume an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assume the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Specifically, we record all security transactions on a trade date basis. We determine the fair

47

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

value of our investments on a quarterly basis (as discussed in Investment Valuation below), with changes in fair value reflected as a net change in unrealized gains (losses) from investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Investments are derecognized when we assume an obligation to sell a financial instrument and forego the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method. Amounts for investments traded but not yet settled are reported in Due to Broker or Due from Broker, in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, we have no assets going through foreclosure.

Foreign Currency

Foreign currency amounts are translated into US Dollars (USD) on the following basis:

i.fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period; and

ii.purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such investment transactions, income or expenses.

We do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held or disposed of during the period. Such fluctuations are included within the net realized and net change in unrealized gains or losses from investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investment Risks

Our investments are subject to a variety of risks. Those risks include the following:

Market Risk

Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the fair value of the financial instrument.

Credit Risk

Credit risk represents the risk that we would incur if the counterparties failed to perform pursuant to the terms of their agreements with us.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk represents the possibility that we may not be able to rapidly adjust the size of our investment positions in times of high volatility and financial stress at a reasonable price.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk represents a change in interest rates, which could result in an adverse change in the fair value of an interest-bearing financial instrument.

Prepayment Risk

Many of our debt investments allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Downward changes in interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a faster than expected rate, thereby effectively shortening the maturity of the security and making us less likely to fully earn all of the expected income of that security and reinvesting in a lower yielding instrument.

Structured Credit Related Risk

CLO investments may be riskier and less transparent to us than direct investments in underlying companies. CLOs typically will have no significant assets other than their underlying senior secured loans. Therefore, payments on CLO investments are and will be payable solely from the cash flows from such senior secured loans. 

Foreign Currency

48

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Investments denominated in foreign currencies and foreign currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

Other Risks

Political developments, including civil conflicts and war, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, natural disasters, public health crises and other events outside the Company's control can directly or indirectly have a material adverse impact on the Company and our portfolio companies.

Investment Valuation

As a BDC, and in accordance with the 1940 Act, we fair value our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis, with any unrealized gains and losses reflected in net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. To value our investments, we follow the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in conformity with GAAP, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the fair value of our investments is defined as the price that we would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market in which that investment is transacted.

ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment.

Our Board of Directors has established procedures for the valuation of our investment portfolio. These procedures are detailed below.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations.

For most of our investments, market quotations are not available. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, due to factors such as volume and frequency of price quotes, our Board of Directors has approved a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below.

1.Each portfolio company or investment is reviewed by our investment professionals with independent valuation firms engaged by our Board of Directors.

2.The independent valuation firms prepare independent valuations for each investment based on their own independent assessments and issue their report.

3.The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors reviews and discusses with the independent valuation firms the valuation reports, and then makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors of the value for each investment.

4.The Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser, the respective independent valuation firm and the Audit Committee.

Our non-CLO investments that are classified as Level 3 are valued utilizing a yield technique, enterprise value (“EV”) technique, net asset value technique, asset recovery technique, discounted cash flow technique, or a combination of techniques, as appropriate. The yield technique uses loan spreads for loans and other relevant information implied by market data involving

49

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Under the EV technique, the EV of a portfolio company is first determined and allocated over the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another (i.e., “waterfall” allocation). To determine the EV, we typically use a market (multiples) valuation approach that considers relevant and applicable market trading data of guideline public companies, transaction metrics from precedent merger and acquisitions transactions, and/or a discounted cash flow technique. The net asset value technique, an income approach, is used to derive a value of an underlying investment (such as real estate property) by dividing a relevant earnings stream by an appropriate capitalization rate. For this purpose, we consider capitalization rates for similar properties as may be obtained from guideline public companies and/or relevant transactions. The asset recovery technique is intended to approximate the net recovery value of an investment based on, among other things, assumptions regarding liquidation proceeds based on a hypothetical liquidation of a portfolio company’s assets. The discounted cash flow technique converts future cash flows or earnings to a range of fair values from which a single estimate may be derived utilizing an appropriate discount rate. The fair value measurement is based on the net present value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.

In applying these methodologies, additional factors that we consider in valuing our investments may include, as we deem relevant: security covenants, call protection provisions, and information rights; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments; the principal markets in which the portfolio company does business; publicly available financial ratios of peer companies; the principal market; and enterprise values, among other factors.

Our investments in CLOs are classified as Level 3 fair value measured securities under ASC 820 and are valued using a discounted multi-path cash flow model. The CLO structures are analyzed to identify the risk exposures and to determine an appropriate call date (i.e., expected maturity). These risk factors are sensitized in the multi-path cash flow model using Monte Carlo simulations, which is a simulation used to model the probability of different outcomes, to generate probability-weighted (i.e., multi-path) cash flows from the underlying assets and liabilities. These cash flows are discounted using appropriate market discount rates, and relevant data in the CLO market as well as certain benchmark credit indices are considered, to determine the value of each CLO investment.  In addition, we generate a single-path cash flow utilizing our best estimate of expected cash receipts, and assess the reasonableness of the implied discount rate that would be effective for the value derived from the multi-path cash flows. We are not responsible for and have no influence over the asset management of the portfolios underlying the CLO investments we hold, as those portfolios are managed by non-affiliated third-party CLO collateral managers. The main risk factors are default risk, prepayment risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk.

Convertible Notes

We have recorded the Convertible Notes at their contractual amounts and at issuance, we determined that the embedded conversion options in the Convertible Unsecured Notes are not required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. See Note 5 for further discussion on our Convertible Notes outstanding.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Original issue discounts and market discounts are capitalized and accreted into interest income over the respective terms of the applicable loans using the effective interest method or straight-line, as applicable, and adjusted only for material amendments or prepayments. Upon a prepayment of a loan, prepayment premiums, original issue discount, or market discounts are recorded as interest income.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Unpaid accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are either applied to the cost basis or interest income, depending upon management’s judgment of the collectability of the loan receivable. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and in management’s judgment, is likely to remain current and future principal and interest collections when due are probable. Interest received and applied against cost while a loan is on non-accrual, and PIK interest capitalized but not recognized while on non-accrual, is recognized prospectively on the effective yield basis through maturity of the loan when placed back on accrual status, to the extent deemed collectible by management. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, approximately 0.2% and 1.1% of our total assets at fair value are in non-accrual status, respectively.

Some of our loans and other investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK income computed at the contractual rate is accrued into income and reflected as receivable up to the capitalization date. PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, we capitalize the accrued interest (reflecting such amounts in the basis as additional

50

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

securities received). PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. At the point that we believe PIK is not fully expected to be realized, the PIK investment will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends are reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. We do not reverse previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends. Upon capitalization, PIK is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status if we believe that PIK is expected to be realized.

Interest income from investments in Subordinated Structured Notes (typically preferred shares, income notes or subordinated notes of CLO funds) and “equity” class of security of securitized trust is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. We monitor the expected cash inflows from our CLO and securitized trust equity investments, including the expected residual payments, and the effective yield is determined and updated periodically.

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each distribution received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments is evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient current or accumulated tax-basis earnings and profits in the LLC or LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded dividend income of $3,059 and $2,901, respectively. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we recorded return of capital distributions of $4,780.

Other income consists of structuring fees, amendment fees, overriding royalty interests, receipts related to net profit and revenue interests, deal deposits, administrative agent fees, and other miscellaneous receipts, which are recognized as revenue when received.

Structuring fees and certain other amendment or advisory fees are considered fees in exchange for the provision of certain services and are subject to the provisions of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). All other types of income are derived from lending or equity investments, which is recognized in accordance with ASC 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. See Note 10 Other Income.

Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method. Refer to Investment Transactions above.

Federal and State Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated as a RIC and intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to RICs. We are required to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income and intend to distribute (or retain through a deemed distribution) all of our investment company taxable income and net capital gain to stockholders; therefore, we have made no provision for income taxes. The character of income and gains that we will distribute is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified to paid-in capital.

If we do not distribute (or are not deemed to have distributed) at least 98% of our annual ordinary income and 98.2% of our capital gains in the calendar year earned, we will generally be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which 98% of our annual ordinary income and 98.2% of our capital gains exceed the distributions from such taxable income for the year. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, we accrue excise taxes, if any, on estimated excess taxable income. As of September 30, 2023, we do not expect to have any excise tax due for the 2023 calendar year. Thus, we have not accrued any excise tax for this period.

If we fail to satisfy the annual distribution requirement or otherwise fail to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, we would be subject to tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates. We would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders, nor would we be required to make distributions. Distributions would generally be taxable to our individual and other non-corporate taxable stockholders as ordinary dividend income eligible for the reduced maximum rate applicable to qualified dividend income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, provided certain holding period and other requirements are met. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributions would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. To qualify again to be taxed as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to distribute to our stockholders our accumulated earnings and profits attributable to non-RIC years. In addition, if we failed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, then, in order to qualify as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to

51

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

elect to recognize and pay tax on any net built-in gain (the excess of aggregate gain, including items of income, over aggregate loss that would have been realized if we had been liquidated) or, alternatively, be subject to taxation on such built-in gain recognized for a period of five years.

We follow ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. As of September 30, 2023, we did not record any unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities. Management’s determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. Although we file both federal and state income tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal. Our federal tax returns for the tax years ended August 31, 2020 and thereafter remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, if any, to be paid as a monthly dividend or distribution is approved by our Board of Directors quarterly and is generally based upon our management’s estimate of our future taxable earnings. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

Our distributions may exceed our earnings, and therefore, portions of the distributions that we make may be a return of the money originally invested and represent a return of capital distribution to shareholders for tax purposes.

Financing Costs

We record origination expenses related to our Revolving Credit Facility as deferred financing costs. These expenses are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method over the stated life of the obligation for our Revolving Credit Facility. Debt issuance costs and origination discounts related to our Convertible Notes and Public Notes are presented net against the outstanding principal of the respective instrument and amortized as part of interest expense using the effective interest method over the stated life of the respective instrument. Debt issuance costs and origination discounts related to our Prospect Capital InterNotes® (collectively, with our Convertible Notes and Public Notes, our “Unsecured Notes”) are net against the outstanding principal amount of our Prospect Capital InterNotes® and are amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method over the stated maturity of the respective note. In the event that we modify or extinguish our debt before maturity, we follow the guidance in ASC 470-50, Modification and Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”). For modifications to or exchanges of our Revolving Credit Facility, any unamortized deferred costs relating to lenders who are not part of the new lending group are expensed. For extinguishments of our Unsecured Notes, any unamortized deferred costs are deducted from the carrying amount of the debt in determining the gain or loss from the extinguishment.

Unamortized deferred financing costs are presented as a direct deduction to the respective Unsecured Notes (see Notes 5, 6, and 7).

We may record registration expenses related to shelf filings as prepaid expenses. These expenses consist principally of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registration fees, legal fees and accounting fees incurred. These prepaid expenses are charged to capital upon the receipt of proceeds from an equity offering or charged to expense if no offering is completed. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, there are no prepaid expenses related to registration expenses and all amounts incurred have been expensed.

Per Share Information

In accordance with ASC 946, senior equity securities, such as preferred stock, are not considered in the calculation of net asset value per share. Net asset value per share also excludes the effects of assumed conversion of outstanding convertible securities, regardless of whether their conversion would have a diluting effect. Therefore, our net asset value is presented on the basis of per common share outstanding as of the applicable period end.

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

We compute earnings per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding using the if-converted method for our Convertible Preferred Stock and Convertible Notes (together, “convertible instruments”). Diluted earnings per share excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Preferred Stock

In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the Company’s Preferred Stock (as defined in “Note 9. Equity Offerings, Offering Expenses, and Distributions”) has been classified in temporary equity on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities beginning the period ended September 30, 2021 due to limitations on our ability to exercise our Issuer Optional Conversion (as defined in Note 9) and the possibility of redemption outside of the Company’s control if dividends on the Preferred Stock have accumulated and been unpaid for a period of two years. The Preferred Stock issued as temporary equity is recorded net of offering costs and issuance costs. 5.50% Preferred Stock issued prior to the issuance of our 5.35% Series A Preferred Stock has a carrying value on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities equal to liquidation value per share. Accrued and unpaid dividends relating to the Preferred Stock are included in the preferred stock carrying value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends declared on the Preferred Stock are included in preferred stock dividends on the Statement of Operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Company has assessed currently issued ASUs and has determined that they are not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements.

For the Loss-adjusted discount rate and Projected loss rate unobservable inputs of investments represented in (1), the weighted average is determined based on the purchase yield of recently issued loans within each respective term-grade cohort.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, management and the independent valuation firm look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. These investments are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of debt investments specifically classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy are generally valued by an independent pricing agent or more than one principal market maker, if available, otherwise a principal market maker or a primary market dealer. We generally value over-the-counter securities by using the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers during the relevant period end, which were provided by an independent pricing agent and screened for validity by such service.

In determining the range of values for debt instruments where market quotations are not readily available, and are therefore classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, except CLOs and debt investments in controlling portfolio companies, management and the independent valuation firm estimated corporate and security credit ratings and identified corresponding yields to maturity for each loan from relevant market data. A discounted cash flow technique was then applied using the appropriate yield to maturity as the discount rate, to determine a range of values. In determining the range of values for debt investments of controlled companies and equity investments, the enterprise value was determined by applying a market approach such as using earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples, net income and/or book value multiples for similar guideline public companies and/or similar recent investment transactions and/or an income approach, such as the discounted cash flow technique. The enterprise value technique may also be used to value debt investments which are credit impaired. For stressed debt and equity investments, asset recovery analysis was used.

In determining the range of values for our investments in CLOs, the independent valuation firm uses a discounted multi-path cash flow model. The valuations were accomplished through the analysis of the CLO deal structures to identify the risk exposures from the modeling point of view as well as to determine an appropriate call date (i.e., expected maturity). These risk factors are sensitized in the multi-path cash flow model using Monte Carlo simulations to generate probability-weighted (i.e., multi-path) cash flows for the underlying assets and liabilities. These cash flows are discounted using appropriate market discount rates, and relevant data in the CLO market and certain benchmark credit indices are considered, to determine the value of each CLO investment. In addition, we generate a single-path cash flow utilizing our best estimate of expected cash receipts, and assess the reasonableness of the implied discount rate that would be effective for the value derived from the corresponding multi-path cash flow model.

Our portfolio consists of residual interests and debt investments in CLOs, which involve a number of significant risks. CLOs are typically very highly levered (10 - 14 times), and therefore the residual interest tranches that we invest in are subject to a higher degree of risk of total loss. In particular, investors in CLO residual interests indirectly bear risks of the underlying loan investments held by such CLOs. We generally have the right to receive payments only from the CLOs, and generally do not

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

have direct rights against the underlying borrowers or the entity that sponsored the CLOs. While the CLOs we target generally enable the investor to acquire interests in a pool of senior loans without the expenses associated with directly holding the same investments, the prices of indices and securities underlying our CLOs will rise or fall. These prices (and, therefore, the prices of the CLOs) will be influenced by the same types of political and economic events that affect issuers of securities and capital markets generally. The failure by a CLO investment in which we invest to satisfy financial covenants, including with respect to adequate collateralization and/or interest coverage tests, could lead to a reduction in its payments to us. In the event that a CLO fails certain tests, holders of debt senior to us would be entitled to additional payments that would, in turn, reduce the payments we would otherwise be entitled to receive. Separately, we may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting CLO or any other investment we may make. If any of these occur, it could materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.

The interests we have acquired in CLOs are generally thinly traded or have only a limited trading market. CLOs are typically privately offered and sold, even in the secondary market. As a result, investments in CLOs may be characterized as illiquid securities. In addition to the general risks associated with investing in debt securities, CLO residual interests carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) our investments in CLO tranches will likely be subordinate to other senior classes of note tranches thereof; and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the CLO investment or unexpected investment results. Our net asset value may also decline over time if our principal recovery with respect to CLO residual interests is less than the cost of those investments. Our CLO investments and/or the CLOs’ underlying senior secured loans may prepay more quickly than expected, which could have an adverse impact on our value. These investments are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

An increase in SOFR would materially increase the CLO’s financing costs. Since most of the collateral positions within the CLOs have SOFR floors, there may not be corresponding increases in investment income (if SOFR increases but stays below the SOFR floor rate of such investments) resulting in materially smaller distribution payments to the residual interest investors.

We hold more than a 10% interest in certain foreign corporations that are treated as controlled foreign corporations (“CFC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including our residual interest tranche investments in CLOs). Therefore, we are treated as receiving a deemed distribution (taxable as ordinary income) each year from such foreign corporations in an amount equal to our pro rata share of the corporation’s income for that tax year (including both ordinary earnings and capital gains). We are required to include such deemed distributions from a CFC in our taxable income and we are required to distribute at least 90% of such income to maintain our RIC status, regardless of whether or not the CFC makes an actual distribution during such year.

If we acquire shares in “passive foreign investment companies” (“PFICs”) (including residual interest tranche investments in CLOs that are PFICs), we may be subject to federal income tax on a portion of any “excess distribution” or gain from the disposition of such shares even if such income is distributed as a taxable dividend to our stockholders. Certain elections may be available to mitigate or eliminate such tax on excess distributions, but such elections (if available) will generally require us to recognize our share of the PFIC’s income for each year regardless of whether we receive any distributions from such PFICs. We must nonetheless distribute such income to maintain our status as a RIC.

Legislation known as FATCA and regulations thereunder impose a withholding tax of 30% on payments of U.S. source interest and dividends, to certain non-U.S. entities, including certain non-U.S. financial institutions and investment funds, unless such non-U.S. entity complies with certain reporting requirements regarding its United States account holders and its United States owners. Most CLOs in which we invest will be treated as non-U.S. financial entities for this purpose, and therefore will be required to comply with these reporting requirements to avoid the 30% withholding. If a CLO in which we invest fails to properly comply with these reporting requirements, it could reduce the amounts available to distribute to residual interest and junior debt holders in such CLO vehicle, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.

If we are required to include amounts in income prior to receiving distributions representing such income, we may have to sell some of our investments at times and/or at prices management would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or forgo new investment opportunities for this purpose.

The significant unobservable input used to value our investments based on the yield technique and discounted cash flow technique is the market yield (or applicable discount rate) used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which includes both future principal and interest/dividend payments. Increases or decreases in the market yield (or applicable discount rate) would result in a decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value measurement. Management and the independent valuation firms consider the following factors when selecting market yields or discount rates: risk of default, rating of the investment and comparable company investments, and call provisions.

The significant unobservable inputs used to value our investments based on the EV analysis may include market multiples of specified financial measures such as EBITDA, net income, or book value of identified guideline public companies, implied valuation multiples from precedent M&A transactions, and/or discount rates applied in a discounted cash flow technique. The independent valuation firm identifies a population of publicly traded companies with similar operations and key attributes to that of the portfolio company. Using valuation and operating metrics of these guideline public companies and/or as implied by relevant precedent transactions, a range of multiples of the latest twelve months EBITDA, or other measure such as net income or book value, is typically calculated. The independent valuation firm utilizes the determined multiples to estimate the portfolio company’s EV generally based on the latest twelve months EBITDA of the portfolio company (or other meaningful measure). Increases or decreases in the multiple would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in EV which would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value measurement of the debt of controlled companies and/or equity investment, as applicable. In certain instances, a discounted cash flow analysis may be considered in estimating EV, in which case, discount rates based on a weighted average cost of capital and application of the capital asset pricing model may be utilized.

The significant unobservable input used to value our private REIT investments based on the discounted cash flow analysis is the discount rate and terminal capitalization rate applied to projected cash flows of the underlying properties. Increases or decreases in the discount rate and terminal capitalization rate would result in a decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value measurement.

Changes in market yields, discount rates, capitalization rates or EBITDA multiples, each in isolation, may change the fair value measurement of certain of our investments. Generally, an increase in market yields, discount rates or capitalization rates, or a decrease in EBITDA (or other) multiples may result in a decrease in the fair value measurement of certain of our investments.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the currently assigned valuations.

Changes in Valuation Techniques

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the valuation methodology for DTI Holdco, Inc. (“Epiq”) for the First Lien Term Loan changed from a combination of the yield analysis and market quotes to relying solely on market quotes, since market quotes were more active in the current period. As a result of the quoted prices of the First Lien Term Loan, the fair value of our investment in Epiq First Lien Term Loan increased to $18,315 as of September 30, 2023, a premium of $295 from its amortized cost, compared to the $449 unrealized discount recorded at June 30, 2023.

Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiaries

Our investments are generally in small and mid-sized companies in a variety of industries. In accordance with Regulation S-X 3-09 and Regulation S-X 4-08(g), we must determine which of our unconsolidated controlled portfolio companies are considered “significant subsidiaries,” if any, as defined in Rule 1-02(w)(2) for BDC’s and closed end investment companies. Regulation S-X 3-09 requires separate audited financial statements of an unconsolidated subsidiary in an annual report. Regulation S-X 4-08(g) requires summarized financial information in an annual report.

Pursuant to Regulation S-X 10-01(b), Interim Financial Statements, summarized interim income statement information is required for an unconsolidated subsidiary within a quarterly report if the unconsolidated subsidiary would otherwise require separate audited financial statements within an annual report pursuant to Regulation S-X 3-09.

Note 4. Revolving Credit Facility

On May 15, 2007, we formed our wholly owned subsidiary, PCF, a Delaware limited liability company and a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which holds certain of our portfolio loan investments that are used as collateral for the revolving credit facility at PCF. Since origination of the revolving credit facility, we have renegotiated the terms and extended the commitments of the revolving credit facility several times. Most recently, effective September 15, 2022, we completed an extension and upsizing of the revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The lenders have extended commitments of $1,954,500 as of September 30, 2023. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an accordion feature which allows commitments to be increased up to $2,000,000 in the aggregate. The extension and upsizing of the Revolving Credit Facility extended the maturity date to September 15, 2027 and the revolving period through September 15, 2026, followed by an additional one-year amortization period, with distributions allowed to Prospect after the completion of the revolving period. During such one-year amortization period, all principal payments on the pledged assets will be applied to reduce the balance. At the end of the one-year amortization period, the remaining balance will become due.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictions pertaining to the geographic and industry concentrations of funded loans, maximum size of funded loans, interest rate payment frequency of funded loans, maturity dates of funded loans and minimum equity requirements, among other items. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains certain requirements relating to portfolio performance, including required minimum portfolio yield and limitations on delinquencies and charge-offs, violation of which could result in the early termination of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Interest on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is one-month SOFR plus 205 basis points. Additionally, the lenders charge a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to either 40 basis points if more than 60% of the credit facility is drawn, 70 basis points if more than 35% and an amount less than or equal to 60% of the credit facility is drawn, or 150 basis points if an amount less than or equal to 35% of the credit facility is drawn. The Revolving Credit Facility requires us to pledge assets as collateral in order to borrow under the credit facility. As of September 30, 2023, the investments, including cash and cash equivalents, used as collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility had an aggregate fair value of $3,021,215, which represents 38.7% of our total investments, including cash and cash equivalents. These assets are held and owned by PCF, a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, and, as such, these investments are not available to our general creditors. As additional eligible investments are transferred to PCF and pledged under the Revolving Credit Facility, PCF will generate additional availability up to the current commitment amount of $1,954,500. The release of any assets from PCF requires the approval of the facility agent.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, the average stated interest rate (i.e., rate in effect plus the spread) and average outstanding borrowings for the Revolving Credit Facility were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Average stated interest rate	7.31%		4.23%
Average outstanding balance	$	1,100,598	$	966,173

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, we had $799,833 and $697,325, respectively, available to us for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $915,021 and $1,014,703 outstanding borrowings as of the respective balance sheet dates.

The Additional 2022 Notes were a further issuance of, and were fully fungible and ranked equally in right of payment with, the Original 2022 Notes and bore interest at a rate of 4.95% per year, payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 each year, beginning July 15, 2018.

(4)The conversion rate is increased if monthly cash dividends paid to common shares exceed the monthly dividend threshold amount, subject to adjustment. Current dividend rates are at or below the minimum dividend threshold amount for further conversion rate adjustments for all bonds.

Interest accrues from the date of the original issuance of the Convertible Notes or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided. Upon conversion, the holder will receive a separate cash payment with respect to the notes surrendered for conversion representing accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the conversion date. Any such payment will be made on the settlement date applicable to the relevant conversion on the Convertible Notes. If a holder converts the Convertible Notes after a record date for an interest payment but prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the holder will receive shares of our common stock based on the conversion formula described above, a cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest through the record date in the normal course and a separate cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest from the record date to the conversion date.

No holder of Convertible Notes will be entitled to receive shares of our common stock upon conversion to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt would cause such converting holder to become, directly or indirectly, a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of more than 5.0% of the shares of our common stock outstanding at such time. The 5.0% limitation shall no longer apply following the effective date of any fundamental change. We will not issue any shares in connection with the conversion or redemption of the Convertible Notes which would equal or exceed 20% of the shares outstanding at the time of the transaction in accordance with NASDAQ rules.

Subject to certain exceptions, holders may require us to repurchase, for cash, all or part of their Convertible Notes upon a fundamental change at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes being repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, upon a fundamental change that constitutes a non-stock change of control we will also pay holders an amount in cash equal to the present value of all remaining interest payments (without duplication of the foregoing amounts) on such Convertible Notes through and including the maturity date.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, we recorded a discount of $3,369 and debt issuance costs of $2,090 which are being amortized over the terms of the Convertible Notes. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, $825 and $964 of the original issue discount and $525 and $613, respectively, of the debt issuance costs remain to be amortized and is included as a reduction within Convertible Notes on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(2)The asset coverage ratio for a class of secured senior securities representing indebtedness is calculated as our consolidated total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, divided by secured senior securities representing indebtedness. The asset coverage ratio for a class of unsecured senior securities representing indebtedness is inclusive of all senior securities representing indebtedness. With respect to the senior securities represented by indebtedness, this asset coverage ratio is multiplied by $1,000 to determine the Asset Coverage Per Unit. The asset coverage ratio for a class of senior securities representing preferred stock is calculated as our consolidated total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, divided by the sum of all senior securities representing indebtedness and the involuntary liquidation preference of senior securities representing preferred stock (the “Total Asset Coverage Ratio”). With respect to the Preferred Stock, the Asset Coverage Per Unit figure is expressed in terms of a dollar amount per share of outstanding Preferred Stock (based on a per share liquidation preference of $25). The rows reflecting “All Senior Securities” reflect the Total Asset Coverage Ratio as the asset coverage ratio, and express Asset Coverage Per Unit as per $1,000 of indebtedness or per $1,000 of Preferred Stock liquidation preference.

(3)This column is inapplicable, except for the 6.95% 2022 Notes, the 2024 Notes, the 2028 Notes, the 2029 Notes, and the 5.35% Preferred Stock. The average market value per unit is calculated as an average of quarter-end prices. With respect to the senior securities represented by indebtedness, the market value is shown per $1,000 of indebtedness.

We may from time to time seek to cancel or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The amounts involved may be material. In addition, we may from time to time enter into additional debt facilities, increase the size of existing facilities or issue additional debt securities, including secured debt, unsecured debt and/or debt securities convertible into common stock. Any such purchases or exchanges of outstanding debt would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors.

Note 9. Equity Offerings, Offering Expenses, and Distributions

On February 10, 2023, we filed a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-269714) that was effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act, and which replaced our previously effective registration statement on Form N-2 that had been filed on February 13, 2020 and which was also effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act. The registration statement permits us to issue, through one or more transactions, an indeterminate amount of securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, subscription rights to purchase our securities, warrants representing rights to purchase our securities or separately tradable units combining two or more of our securities.

Preferred Stock

On August 3, 2020, we entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with Preferred Capital Securities, LLC (“PCS”), as amended on June 9, 2022, October 7, 2022 and February 10, 2023, pursuant to which PCS has agreed to serve as the Company’s agent, principal distributor and dealer manager for the Company’s offering of up to 72,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. Such preferred stock will initially be issued in multiple series, including the 5.50% Series A1 Preferred Stock (“Series A1 Preferred Stock”), the 5.50% Series M1 Preferred Stock (“Series M1 Preferred Stock”), the 5.50% Series M2 Preferred Stock (“Series M2 Preferred Stock”), the 6.50% Series A3 Preferred Stock (“Series A3 Preferred Stock”), and the 6.50% Series M3 Preferred Stock (“Series M3 Preferred Stock”). In connection with such offering, on August 3, 2020, June 9, 2022, October 11, 2022 and February 10, 2023 we filed Articles Supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (“SDAT”), reclassifying and designating 120,000,000, 60,000,000, 120,000,000, and 60,000,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock into shares of preferred stock as “Convertible Preferred Stock.”

On October 30, 2020, and as amended on February 18, 2022, October 7, 2022 and February 10, 2023, we entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with InspereX LLC, pursuant to which InspereX LLC has agreed to serve as the Company’s agent and dealer manager for the Company’s offering of up to 10,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. Such preferred stock will initially be issued in multiple series, including the 5.50% Series AA1 Preferred Stock (the “Series AA1 Preferred Stock”), the 5.50% Series MM1 Preferred Stock (the “Series MM1 Preferred Stock”), the 6.50% Series AA2 Preferred Stock (the “Series AA2 Preferred Stock”), and the 6.50% Series MM2 Preferred Stock (the “Series MM2 Preferred Stock” and together with the Series M1 Preferred Stock, the Series M2 Preferred Stock, the Series M3 Preferred Stock, and the Series MM1 Preferred Stock, the “Series M Preferred Stock”, and the Series MM2 Preferred Stock, together with the Series AA2 Preferred Stock, the Series A3 Preferred Stock and the Series M3 Preferred Stock, the “6.50% Preferred Stock”). In connection with such offering, on October 30, 2020, February 17, 2022, and October 11, 2022, we filed Articles Supplementary with the SDAT, reclassifying and designating an additional 80,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock into shares of preferred stock as Convertible Preferred Stock. On May 19, 2021, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement with UBS Securities LLC, relating to the offer and sale of 187,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of 5.50% Series A2 Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the “Series A2 Preferred Stock”, and together with the Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series M1 Preferred Stock, Series M2 Preferred Stock, Series AA1 Preferred Stock, and Series MM1 Preferred Stock, the “5.50% Preferred Stock”). The issuance of the Series

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

A2 Preferred Stock settled on May 26, 2021. In connection with such offering, on May 19, 2021, we filed Articles Supplementary with the SDAT, reclassifying and designating an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock into shares of preferred stock as Convertible Preferred Stock.

In connection with the offerings of the 5.50% Preferred Stock and the 6.50% Preferred Stock, we adopted and amended, respectively, a preferred stock dividend reinvestment plan (the “Preferred Stock Plan” or the “Preferred Stock DRIP”), pursuant to which holders of the 5.50% Preferred Stock and the 6.50% Preferred Stock will have dividends on their 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock automatically reinvested in additional shares of such 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock at a price per share of $23.75, if they elect.

Each series of 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock ranks (with respect to the payment of dividends and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) (a) senior to our common stock, (b) on parity with each other series of our preferred stock, and (c) junior to our existing and future secured and unsecured indebtedness. See Note 8, Fair Value and Maturity of Debt Outstanding for further discussion on our senior securities.

At any time prior to the listing of the 5.50% Preferred Stock and the 6.50% Preferred Stock on a national securities exchange, shares of the 5.50% Preferred Stock and the 6.50% Preferred Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder of the 5.50% Preferred Stock and the 6.50% Preferred Stock (the “Holder Optional Conversion”). We will settle any Holder Optional Conversion by paying or delivering, as the case may be, (A) any portion of the Settlement Amount (as defined below) that we elect to pay in cash and (B) a number of shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to (1) (a) the Settlement Amount, minus (b) any portion of the Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash, divided by (2) the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of shares of our common stock over each of the five consecutive trading days ending on the Holder Conversion Exercise Date (such arithmetic average, the “5-day VWAP”). For the Series A1 Preferred Stock, the Series A3 Preferred Stock, the Series AA1 Preferred Stock, the Series AA2 Preferred Stock and the Series A2 Preferred Stock, “Settlement Amount” means (A) $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”), plus (B) unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the Holder Conversion Exercise Date, minus (C) the applicable Holder Optional Conversion Fee for the respective Holder Conversion Deadline. For the Series M Preferred Stock, “Settlement Amount” means (A) the Stated Value, plus (B) unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the Holder Conversion Exercise Date, minus (C) the applicable Series M Clawback, if any. “Series M Clawback”, if applicable, means an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all dividends, whether paid or accrued, on such share of Series M Stock in the three full months prior to the Holder Conversion Exercise Date. Subject to certain limited exceptions, we will not pay any portion of the Settlement Amount in cash (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock) until the five year anniversary of the date on which a share of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock has been issued. Beginning on the five year anniversary of the date on which a share of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock is issued, we may elect to settle all or a portion of any Holder Optional Conversion in cash without limitation or restriction. The right of holders to convert a share of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock will terminate upon the listing of such share on a national securities exchange.

Subject to certain limited exceptions allowing earlier redemption, beginning on the earlier of the five year anniversary of the date on which a share of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock has been issued, or, for listed shares of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock, five years from the earliest date on which any series that has been listed was first issued (the earlier of such dates, the “Redemption Eligibility Date”), such share of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time or from time to time at our option (the “Issuer Optional Redemption”), at a redemption price of 100% of the Stated Value of the shares of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock to be redeemed plus unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

Subject to certain limitations, each share of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock may be converted at our option (the “Issuer Optional Conversion”). We will settle any Issuer Optional Conversion by paying or delivering, as the case may be, (A) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount (as defined below) that we elect to pay in cash and (B) a number of shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to (1) (a) the IOC Settlement Amount, minus (b) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash, divided by (2) the 5-day VWAP, subject to our ability to obtain or maintain any stockholder approval that may be required under the 1940 Act to permit us to sell our common stock below net asset value if the 5-day VWAP represents a discount to our net asset value per share of common stock. For the 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock, “IOC Settlement Amount” means (A) the Stated Value, plus (B) unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the date fixed for conversion. In connection with an Issuer Optional Conversion, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or maintain any stockholder approval that may be required under the 1940 Act to permit us to sell our common stock below net asset value. If we do not have or obtain any required stockholder approval under the 1940 Act to sell our common stock below net asset value and the 5-day VWAP is at a discount to our net asset value per share of common stock, we will settle any conversions in connection with an Issuer Optional Conversion by paying or delivering, as the case may be, (A) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash and (B) a number of shares of our common stock

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

at a conversion rate equal to (1) (a) the IOC Settlement Amount, minus (b) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash, divided by (2) the NAV per share of common stock at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the date of conversion. We will not pay any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount from an Issuer Optional Conversion in cash (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock) until the Redemption Eligibility Date. Beginning on the Redemption Eligibility Date, we may elect to settle any Issuer Optional Conversion in cash without limitation or restriction. In the event that we exercise an Issuer Optional Conversion with respect to any shares of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock, the holder of such 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock may instead elect a Holder Optional Conversion with respect to such 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock provided that the date of conversion for such Holder Optional Conversion would occur prior to the date of conversion for an Issuer Optional Conversion.

On July 12, 2021, we entered into an underwriting agreement by and among us, Prospect Capital Management L.P., Prospect Administration LLC, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and UBS Securities LLC, as representatives of the underwriters, relating to the offer and sale of 6,000,000 shares, or $150,000 in aggregate liquidation preference, of our 5.35% Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock” or “5.35% Preferred Stock”), at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, we also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock solely to cover over-allotments. The offer settled on July 19, 2021, and no additional shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were issued pursuant to the option. In connection with such offering, on July 15, 2021, we filed Articles Supplementary with SDAT, reclassifying and designating 6,900,000 shares of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock into shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks (with respect to the payment of dividends and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) (a) senior to our common stock, (b) on parity with each other series of our preferred stock, and (c) junior to our existing and future secured and unsecured indebtedness. See Note 8, Fair Value and Maturity of Debt Outstanding for further discussion on our senior securities.

We may from time to time seek to cancel or purchase our outstanding preferred stock through cash purchases and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The amounts involved may be material. Any such purchases or exchanges of preferred stock would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. Our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase our Series A Preferred Stock. The manner, price, volume and timing of preferred share repurchases are subject to a variety of factors, including market conditions and applicable SEC rules. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 62,309 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for a total cost of approximately $1,001, including fees and commissions paid to the broker, representing an average repurchase price of $15.88 per share. The difference in the consideration transferred and the net carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock repurchased, which was $1,469, resulted in a gain applicable to common stock holders of approximately $501 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The repurchased shares reverted to authorized but unissued shares of Series A Preferred Stock and thus the Company holds no treasury stock.

Subject to certain limited exceptions allowing earlier redemption, at any time after the close of business on July 19, 2026 (any such date, an “Optional Redemption Date”), at our sole option, we may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock in whole or, from time to time, in part, out of funds legally available for such redemption, at a price per share equal to the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends on such shares (whether or not earned or declared, but excluding interest thereon) accumulated up to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. We may also redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at any time, in whole or, from time to time, in part, including prior to the Optional Redemption Date, pro rata, based on liquidation preference, with all other series of our then outstanding preferred stock, in the event that our Board determines to redeem any series of our preferred stock, in whole or, from time to time, in part, because such redemption is deemed necessary by the Board to comply with the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act or for us to maintain RIC status.

In the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below), we may, at our option, exercise our special optional redemption right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred by paying the liquidation preference, plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends on such shares (whether or not earned or declared, but excluding interest thereon) accumulated up to, but excluding, the date fixed for such redemption. To the extent that we exercise our optional redemption right or our special optional redemption right relating to the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not be permitted to exercise the conversion right described below in respect of their shares called for redemption.

Except to the extent that we have elected to exercise our optional redemption right or our special optional redemption right by providing notice of redemption prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined below), upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to convert some or all of the

81

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of our shares of common stock per Series A Preferred Stock to be converted equal to the lesser of:

•the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the Liquidation Preference per share plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not earned or declared, but excluding interest thereon) accumulated up to, but excluding, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a Record Date for a Series A Preferred Stock dividend payment and prior to the corresponding Series A Preferred Stock dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid dividends will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Stock Price (as defined below); and

•6.03865, subject to certain adjustments,

subject, in each case, to provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration upon conversion as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If we have provided or provide a redemption notice with respect to some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock, holders of any Series A Preferred Stock that we have called for redemption will not be permitted to exercise their Change of Control Conversion Right in respect of any of their Series A Preferred Stock that have been called for redemption, and any Series A Preferred Stock subsequently called for redemption that have been tendered for conversion will be redeemed on the applicable date of redemption instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date.

For purposes of the foregoing discussion of a redemption upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the following definitions are applicable:

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of any of the following:

•the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation and other than an Excluded Transaction) in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Controlled Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than to any Permitted Holders); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, a pledge of assets pursuant to any of our secured debt instruments or the secured debt instruments of our Controlled Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be any such sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or disposition; or

•the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation and other than an Excluded Transaction) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than any Permitted Holders) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our outstanding Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consummation of any of the transactions referred to in the bullet points above will not be deemed a Change of Control Triggering Event if we or the acquiring or surviving consolidated entity has or continues to have a class of common securities (or ADRs representing such securities) listed on the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ, or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ, or is otherwise listed or quoted on a national securities exchange.

The “Change of Control Conversion Date” is the date the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be converted, which will be a business day selected by us that is no fewer than 20 days nor more than 35 days after the date on which we provide the notice described above to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

Common Stock

Our common stockholders’ equity accounts as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 reflect cumulative shares issued, net of shares previously repurchased, as of those respective dates. Our common stock has been issued through public offerings, a registered direct offering, the exercise of over-allotment options on the part of the underwriters, our common stock dividend reinvestment plan in connection with the acquisition of certain controlled portfolio companies and in connection with our 5.50% and 6.50% Preferred Stock Holder Optional Conversion and Optional Redemptions Following Death of a Holder. When our common stock is issued, the related offering expenses have been charged against paid-in capital in excess of par. All underwriting fees and offering expenses were borne by us.

On August 24, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan (the “Repurchase Program”) under which we may repurchase up to $100,000 of our common stock at prices below our net asset value per share. Prior to any repurchase, we are required to notify stockholders of our intention to purchase our common stock.

We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under the Repurchase Program for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the Repurchase Program is $65,860.

Excluding common stock dividend reinvestments and shares issued in connection with the 5.50% and 6.50% Preferred Stock Holder Optional Conversion and Optional Redemption Upon Death of Holder, during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we did not issue any shares of our common stock.

On February 9, 2016, we amended our common stock dividend reinvestment plan that provided for reinvestment of our dividends or distributions on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash, to add the ability of stockholders to purchase additional common shares by making optional cash investments. Under the revised dividend reinvestment and direct common stock repurchase plan, stockholders may elect to purchase additional common shares through our transfer agent in the open market or in negotiated transactions.

On April 17, 2020, our Board of Directors approved further amendments to our common stock dividend reinvestment plan, effective May 21, 2020, that principally provide for the number of newly-issued shares of our common stock to be credited to a stockholder’s account shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such common stockholder by 95% of the market price per share of our common stock at the close of regular trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date fixed by the Board of Directors for such distribution (which shall be the last business day before the payment date).

On June 9, 2023, at a special meeting of stockholders, our stockholders authorized us to sell shares of our common stock (during the next 12 months) at a price or prices below our net asset value per share at the time of sale in one or more offerings, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the proxy statement relating to the special meeting (including that the number of shares sold on any given date does not exceed 25% of its outstanding common stock immediately prior to such sale).

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we distributed approximately $73,252 and $287,241, respectively, to our common stockholders. The following table summarizes our distributions to common stockholders declared and payable for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022:

Note 11. Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, less preferred dividends plus gain on repurchase of preferred stock, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for that period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding using the if-converted method for the 5.50% Preferred Stock, the 6.50% Preferred Stock (Refer to Note 9) and, beginning on July 1, 2022, for the 2025 Notes (Refer to Note 5).

Diluted earnings per share excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, conversion of our convertible instruments had an anti-dilutive effect and therefore, conversion is not assumed.

The following information sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022:

Note 12. Income Taxes

While our fiscal year end for financial reporting purposes is June 30 of each year, our tax year end is August 31 of each year. The information presented in this footnote is based on our tax year end for each period presented, unless otherwise specified.

The determination of tax character of distributions was not determinable at the end of the fiscal year end. Final determination of tax character of distributions will not be final until we file our return for the tax year. For income tax purposes, dividends paid and distributions made to stockholders are reported as ordinary income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital, or a combination thereof. The tax character of dividends paid to common stockholders during the tax years ended August 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 were as follows:

	Tax Year Ended August 31,
	2023		2022		2021
Ordinary income	$	227,400	$	231,984	$	251,171

The Company began issuing shares of Preferred Stock and declaring dividends on shares Preferred Stock outstanding during the tax year ended August 31, 2021. The tax character of dividends paid to preferred stockholders during the tax years ended August 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 were as follows:

	Tax Year Ended August 31,
	2023		2022		2021
Ordinary income	$	74,975	$	22,551	$	2,391
Capital gain	—		6,476
Return of capital	—		—
Total distributions paid to preferred stockholders	$	74,975	$	29,027	$	2,391

For the tax year ending August 31, 2023, the tax character of distributions paid to stockholders through August 31, 2023 is expected to be ordinary income and return of capital. However, due to the difference between our fiscal and tax year ends, the final determination of the tax character of distributions between ordinary income and return of capital will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ending August 31, 2023.

Taxable income generally differs from net increase in net assets resulting from operations for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized gains or losses, as unrealized gains or losses are generally not included in taxable income until they are realized. The following reconciles the net increase in net assets resulting from operations to taxable income for the tax years ended August 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021:

	Tax Year Ended August 31,
	2023			2022		2021
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations	$	(88,043)		$	735,337	$	428,106
Net realized losses on investments	40,794			22,375		16,173

Permanent differences	27			30		(20)
Taxable income before deductions for distributions	$	270,816	(1)	$	285,965	$	253,275

(1) Temporary book-to-tax differences include timing recognition of CLO income, flow-through investment income/loss, and dividend income from portfolio companies

As of our most recent tax year ended August 31, 2023, we had no undistributed ordinary income in excess of cumulative distributions and no capital gain in excess of cumulative distributions.

Capital losses in excess of capital gains earned in a tax year may generally be carried forward and used to offset capital gains, subject to certain limitations. As of our most recent tax year ended August 31, 2023, we had a capital loss carryforward of $106,659 available for use in later tax years.

	Tax Year Ended August 31, 2023
Undistributed ordinary income	$	—
Undistributed long-term capital gains	—
Capital loss carryforwards	$	106,659

As of September 30, 2023, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $7,684,181 resulting in an estimated net unrealized gain of $52,636. As of June 30, 2023, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $8,028,254 resulting in an estimated net unrealized loss of $303,323. As of September 30, 2023, the gross unrealized gains and losses were $1,333,996 and $1,281,360, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the gross unrealized gains and losses were $1,334,168 and $1,637,491, respectively. Due to the difference between our fiscal year end and tax year end, the cost basis of our investments for tax purposes as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 was calculated based on the book cost of investments as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, with cumulative book-to-tax adjustments for investments through August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In general, we may make certain adjustments to the classification of net assets as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, which may include merger-related items, differences in the book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, and nondeductible federal excise taxes, among other items. During the tax year ended August 31, 2023, we increased total distributable earnings by $27, increased accumulated realized losses by $622, and increased capital in excess of par value by $595. During the tax year ended August 31, 2022, we increased total distributable earnings by $30 and decreased capital in excess of par value by $30. Due to the difference between our fiscal and tax year end, the reclassifications for the taxable year ended August 31, 2023, once finalized, will be recorded in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 and the reclassifications for the taxable year ended August 31, 2022 were recorded in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

Note 13. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

Investment Advisory Agreement

We have entered into an investment advisory and management agreement with the Investment Adviser (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) under which the Investment Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, us. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser: (i) determines the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes, (ii) identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments we make (including performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies), and (iii) closes and monitors investments we make.

The Investment Adviser’s services under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and it is free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its services to us are not impaired. For providing these services the Investment Adviser receives a fee from us, consisting of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee. The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 2.00% on our total assets. For services currently rendered under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of our gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. The total gross base management fee incurred to the favor of the Investment Adviser was $39,289 and $38,314 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

The incentive fee has two parts. The first part, the income incentive fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net investment income means 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 and other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement described below, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital gains or losses. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized).

The net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of the gross assets used to calculate the 2.00% base management fee. We pay the Investment Adviser an income incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: 

•No incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate;

91

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

•100.00% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 125.00% of the quarterly hurdle rate in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized assuming a 7.00% annualized hurdle rate); and

•20.00% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 125.00% of the quarterly hurdle rate in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized assuming a 7.00% annualized hurdle rate).

These calculations are appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current quarter.

The second part of the incentive fee, the capital gains incentive fee, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 20.00% of our realized capital gains for the calendar year, if any, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation at the end of such year. In determining the capital gains incentive fee payable to the Investment Adviser, we calculate the aggregate realized capital gains, aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, as applicable, with respect to each investment that has been in our portfolio. For the purpose of this calculation, an “investment” is defined as the total of all rights and claims which may be asserted against a portfolio company arising from our participation in the debt, equity, and other financial instruments issued by that company. Aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equal the sum of the differences between the aggregate net sales price of each investment and the aggregate amortized cost basis of such investment when sold or otherwise disposed. Aggregate realized capital losses equal the sum of the amounts by which the aggregate net sales price of each investment is less than the aggregate amortized cost basis of such investment when sold or otherwise disposed. Aggregate unrealized capital depreciation equals the sum of the differences, if negative, between the aggregate valuation of each investment and the aggregate amortized cost basis of such investment as of the applicable calendar year-end. At the end of the applicable calendar year, the amount of capital gains that serves as the basis for our calculation of the capital gains incentive fee involves netting aggregate realized capital gains against aggregate realized capital losses on a since-inception basis and then reducing this amount by the aggregate unrealized capital depreciation. If this number is positive, then the capital gains incentive fee payable is equal to 20.00% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains incentive fees paid since inception.

The total income incentive fee incurred was $25,617 and $21,626 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and three months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. No capital gains incentive fee was incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

Administration Agreement

We have also entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with Prospect Administration under which Prospect Administration, among other things, provides (or arranges for the provision of) administrative services and facilities for us. For providing these services, we reimburse Prospect Administration for our allocable portion of overhead incurred by Prospect Administration in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and her staff, including the internal legal staff. Under this agreement, Prospect Administration furnishes us with office facilities, equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities. Prospect Administration also performs, or oversees the performance of, our required administrative services, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintain and preparing reports to our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, Prospect Administration assists us in determining and publishing our net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. Under the Administration Agreement, Prospect Administration also provides on our behalf managerial assistance to certain portfolio companies (see Managerial Assistance section below). The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party. Prospect Administration is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Adviser.

The Administration Agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, Prospect Administration and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from us for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of Prospect Administration’s services under the Administration Agreement or otherwise as administrator for us. Our payments to Prospect Administration are reviewed quarterly by our Board of Directors.

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

The allocation of net overhead expense from Prospect Administration was $2,113 and $3,099 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Prospect Administration received estimated payments of $3,468 and $1,554 directly from our portfolio companies and certain funds managed by the Investment Adviser for legal, tax, and other administrative services during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. In addition, we were given a credit in the amount of $1,212 for legal expense incurred on behalf of our portfolio companies that were remitted to Prospect Administration during the three months ended September 30, 2022. We were given a credit for these payments as a reduction of the administrative services cost payable by us to Prospect Administration. Had Prospect Administration not received these payments, Prospect Administration’s charges for its administrative services would have increased by this amount.

Managerial Assistance

As a BDC, we are obligated under the 1940 Act to make available to certain of our portfolio companies significant managerial assistance. “Making available significant managerial assistance” refers to any arrangement whereby we provide significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations, or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company. We are also deemed to be providing managerial assistance to all portfolio companies that we control, either by ourselves or in conjunction with others. The nature and extent of significant managerial assistance provided by us to controlled and non-controlled portfolio companies will vary according to the particular needs of each portfolio company. Examples of such activities include (i) advice on recruiting, hiring, management and termination of employees, officers and directors, succession planning and other human resource matters; (ii) advice on capital raising, capital budgeting, and capital expenditures; (iii) advice on advertising, marketing, and sales; (iv) advice on fulfillment, operations, and execution; (v) advice on managing relationships with unions and other personnel organizations, financing sources, vendors, customers, lessors, lessees, lawyers, accountants, regulators and other important counterparties; (vi) evaluating acquisition and divestiture opportunities, plant expansions and closings, and market expansions; (vii) participating in audit committee, nominating committee, board and management meetings; (viii) consulting with and advising board members and officers of portfolio companies (on overall strategy and other matters); and (ix) providing other organizational, operational, managerial and financial guidance.

Prospect Administration arranges for the provision of such managerial assistance on our behalf. When doing so, Prospect Administration utilizes personnel of our Investment Adviser. We, on behalf of Prospect Administration, may invoice portfolio companies receiving and paying for managerial assistance, and we remit to Prospect Administration its cost of providing such services, including the charges deemed appropriate by our Investment Adviser for providing such managerial assistance. No income is recognized by Prospect.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we received payments of $2,284, and $1,760, respectively, from our portfolio companies for managerial assistance and subsequently remitted these amounts to Prospect Administration.

Co-Investments

On January 13, 2020 (amended on August 2, 2022), we received an exemptive order from the SEC (the “Order”), which superseded a prior co-investment exemptive order granted on February 10, 2014, that gave us the ability to negotiate terms other than price and quantity of co-investment transactions with other funds managed by the Investment Adviser or certain affiliates, including Priority Income Fund, Inc. and Prospect Floating Rate and Alternative Income Fund, Inc. (f/k/a Prospect Sustainable Income Fund, Inc.), where co-investing would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act, subject to the conditions included therein. 

Under the terms of the relief permitting us to co-invest with other funds managed by our Investment Adviser or its affiliates, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors must make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our investment objective and strategies. In certain situations where a co-investment with one or more funds managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates is not covered by the Order, such as when there is an opportunity to invest in different securities of the same issuer, the personnel of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates will need to decide which fund will proceed with the investment. Such personnel will make these determinations based on policies and procedures, which are designed to reasonably ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among affiliated funds over time and in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Moreover, except in certain circumstances, when

93

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

relying on the Order, we will be unable to invest in any issuer in which one or more funds managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates has previously invested.

We reimburse CLO investment valuation services fees initially incurred by Priority Income Fund, Inc. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we recognized expenses that were reimbursed for valuation services of $19 and $21, respectively. Conversely, Priority Income Fund, Inc. and Prospect Floating Rate and Alternative Income Fund, Inc. (f/k/a Prospect Sustainable Income Fund, Inc.) reimburse us for software fees, expenses which were initially incurred by Prospect. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 the amount due for the software fees was $17. No such fees were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(All figures in this item are in thousands except share, per share and other data.)

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from any results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements due to the factors discussed in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere herein.

Overview

The terms “Prospect”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Prospect Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

Prospect is a financial services company that primarily lends to and invests in middle market privately-held companies. We are a closed-end investment company incorporated in Maryland. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). As a BDC, we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). We were organized on April 13, 2004, and were funded in an initial public offering completed on July 27, 2004.

On May 15, 2007, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary Prospect Capital Funding LLC (“PCF”), a Delaware limited liability company and a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which holds certain of our portfolio loan investments that are used as collateral for the revolving credit facility at PCF. On September 30, 2014, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary Prospect Yield Corporation, LLC (“PYC”) and effective October 23, 2014, PYC holds a portion of our collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), which we also refer to as subordinated structured notes (“SSNs”). Each of these subsidiaries have been consolidated since operations commenced.

We consolidate certain of our wholly owned and substantially wholly owned holding companies formed by us in order to facilitate our investment strategy. The following companies are included in our consolidated financial statements and are collectively referred to as the “Consolidated Holding Companies”: CP Holdings of Delaware LLC (“CP Holdings”); Credit Central Holdings of Delaware, LLC (“Credit Central Delaware”); Energy Solutions Holdings Inc.; First Tower Holdings of Delaware LLC (“First Tower Delaware”); MITY Holdings of Delaware Inc. (“MITY Delaware”); Nationwide Acceptance Holdings LLC; NMMB Holdings, Inc. (“NMMB Holdings”); NPH Property Holdings, LLC (“NPH”); Prospect Opportunity Holdings I, Inc. (“POHI”); SB Forging Company, Inc. (“SB Forging”); STI Holding, Inc.; UTP Holdings Group Inc. (“UTP Holdings”); Valley Electric Holdings I, Inc. (“Valley Holdings I”); and Valley Electric Holdings II, Inc. (“Valley Holdings II”).

We are externally managed by our investment adviser, Prospect Capital Management L.P. (“Prospect Capital Management” or the “Investment Adviser”). Prospect Administration LLC (“Prospect Administration”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Adviser, provides administrative services and facilities necessary for us to operate.

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and long-term capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in senior and subordinated secured debt and equity of private companies in need of capital for acquisitions, divestitures, growth, development, recapitalizations and other purposes. We work with the management teams or financial sponsors to seek investments with historical cash flows, asset collateral or contracted pro-forma cash flows.

We currently have four primary strategies that guide our origination of investment opportunities: (1) lending to companies, including companies controlled by private equity sponsors and not controlled by private equity sponsors, and including both directly-originated loans and syndicated loans, (2) lending to companies and purchasing controlling equity positions in such companies, including both operating companies and financial services companies, (3) purchasing controlling equity positions and lending to real estate companies, and (4) investing in structured credit. We may also invest in other strategies and opportunities from time to time that we view as attractive. We continue to evaluate other origination strategies in the ordinary course of business with no specific top-down allocation to any single origination strategy.

108

•Lending to Companies - We make directly-originated, agented loans to companies, including companies which are controlled by private equity sponsors and companies that are not controlled by private equity sponsors (such as companies that are controlled by the management team, the founder, a family or public shareholders). This debt can take the form of first lien, second lien, unitranche or unsecured loans. These loans typically have equity subordinate to our loan position. We may also purchase selected equity co-investments in such companies. In addition to directly-originated, agented loans, we also invest in senior and secured loans syndicated loans and high yield bonds that have been sold to a club or syndicate of buyers, both in the primary and secondary markets. These investments are often purchased with a long term, buy-and-hold outlook, and we often look to provide significant input to the transaction by providing anchoring orders. Historically, this strategy has comprised approximately 40%-60% of our portfolio.

•Lending to Companies and Purchasing Controlling Equity Positions in Such Companies - This strategy involves purchasing senior and secured yield-producing debt and controlling equity positions in operating companies across various industries. We believe this strategy provides enhanced certainty of closure to sellers and the opportunity for management to continue on in their current roles. These investments are often structured in tax-efficient partnerships, enhancing returns. Historically, this strategy has comprised approximately 15%-25% of our portfolio.

•Purchasing Controlling Equity Positions and Lending to Real Estate Companies - We purchase debt and controlling equity positions in tax-efficient real estate investment trusts (“REIT” or “REITs”). The real estate investments of National Property REIT Corp. (“NPRC”) are in various classes of developed and occupied real estate properties that generate current yields, including multi-family properties, and student housing. NPRC seeks to identify properties that have historically significant occupancy rates and recurring cash flow generation. NPRC generally co-invests with established and experienced property management teams that manage such properties after acquisition. Additionally, NPRC makes investments in rated secured structured notes (primarily debt of structured credit). NPRC also purchases loans originated by certain consumer loan facilitators. It purchases each loan in its entirety (i.e., a “whole loan”). The borrowers are consumers, and the loans are typically serviced by the facilitators of the loans. Historically, this overall investment strategy has comprised approximately 10%-20% of our business.

•Investing in Structured Credit - We make investments in structured credit, often taking a significant position in subordinated structured notes (equity) and rated secured structured notes (debt). The underlying portfolio of each structured credit investment is diversified across approximately 100 to 200 broadly syndicated loans and does not have direct exposure to real estate, mortgages, or consumer-based credit assets. The structured credit portfolios in which we invest are managed by established collateral management teams with many years of experience in the industry. Historically, this overall strategy has comprised approximately 10%-20% of our portfolio.

We invest primarily in first and second lien secured loans and unsecured debt, which in some cases includes an equity component. First and second lien secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of unsecured debt of a given portfolio company. These loans also have the benefit of security interests on the assets of the portfolio company, which may rank ahead of or be junior to other security interests. Our investments in structured credit are subordinated to senior loans and are generally unsecured. We invest in debt and equity positions of structured credit which are a form of securitization in which the cash flows of a portfolio of loans are pooled and passed on to different classes of owners in various tranches. Our structured credit investments are derived from portfolios of corporate debt securities which are generally risk rated from BB to B.

We hold many of our control investments in a two-tier structure consisting of a holding company and one or more related operating companies for tax purposes. These holding companies serve various business purposes including concentration of management teams, optimization of third-party borrowing costs, improvement of supplier, customer, and insurance terms, and enhancement of co-investments by the management teams. In these cases, our investment, which is generally equity in the holding company, the holding company’s equity investment in the operating company and any debt from us directly to the operating company structure represents our total exposure for the investment. As of September 30, 2023, as shown in our Consolidated Schedule of Investments, the cost basis and fair value of our investments in controlled companies was $3,060,201 and $3,625,608, respectively. This structure gives rise to several of the risks described in our public documents and highlighted elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We consolidate all wholly owned and substantially wholly owned holding companies formed by us for the purpose of holding our controlled investments in operating companies. There is no significant effect of consolidating these holding companies as they hold minimal assets other than their investments in the controlled operating companies. Investment company accounting prohibits the consolidation of any operating companies.

109

On June 9, 2023, at a special meeting of stockholders, our stockholders authorized us to sell shares of our common stock (during the next 12 months) at a price or prices below our net asset value per share at the time of sale in one or more offerings, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the proxy statement relating to the special meeting (including that the number of shares sold on any given date does not exceed 25% of its outstanding common stock immediately prior to such sale).

Our annualized current yield was 12.7% and 13.3% as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, across all performing interest bearing investments, excluding equity investments and non-accrual loans. Our annualized current yield was 10.3% and 10.7% as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, across all investments. In many of our portfolio companies we hold equity positions, ranging from minority interests to majority stakes, which we expect over time to contribute to our investment returns. Some of these equity positions include features such as contractual minimum internal rates of returns, preferred distributions, flip structures and other features expected to generate additional investment returns, as well as contractual protections and preferences over junior equity, in addition to the yield and security offered by our cash flow and collateral debt protections.

We are a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. As required by the 1940 Act, we classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are those where there is the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual possesses a beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the voting securities of an investee company. Under the 1940 Act, “Affiliate Investments” are defined by a lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist through owning, controlling, or holding with power to vote, 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of another person. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.

As of September 30, 2023, we own controlling interests in the following portfolio companies: CP Energy Services Inc. (“CP Energy”); Credit Central Loan Company, LLC (“Credit Central”); Echelon Transportation, LLC (“Echelon”); First Tower Finance Company LLC (“First Tower Finance”); Freedom Marine Solutions, LLC (“Freedom Marine”); InterDent, Inc. (“InterDent”); Kickapoo Ranch Pet Resort (“Kickapoo”); MITY, Inc. (“MITY”); NPRC; Nationwide Loan Company LLC (“Nationwide”); NMMB, Inc. (“NMMB”); Pacific World Corporation (“Pacific World”); R-V Industries, Inc. (“R-V”); Universal Turbine Parts, LLC (“UTP”); USES Corp. (“United States Environmental Services” or “USES”); and Valley Electric Company, Inc. (“Valley Electric”). In June 2019, CP Energy purchased a controlling interest of the common equity of Spartan Energy Holdings, Inc. (“Spartan Holdings”), which owns 100% of Spartan Energy Services, LLC (“Spartan”), a portfolio company of Prospect with $33,415 in senior secured term loans (the “Spartan Term Loan A”) due to us as of September 30, 2023. As a result of CP Energy’s purchase, and given Prospect’s controlling interest in CP Energy, we report our investments in Spartan as control investment. Spartan remains the direct borrower and guarantor to Prospect for the Spartan Term Loan A.

As of September 30, 2023, we also own affiliated interests in Nixon, Inc. (“Nixon”) and RGIS Services, LLC, (“RGIS”).

Investment Valuation

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, management and the independent valuation firm look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. These investments are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of debt investments specifically classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy are generally valued by an independent pricing agent or more than one principal market maker, if available, otherwise a principal market maker or a primary market dealer. We generally value over-the-counter securities by using the prevailing bid and ask prices from dealers during the relevant period end, which were provided by an independent pricing agent and screened for validity by such service.

In determining the range of values for debt instruments where market quotations are not readily available, and are therefore classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, except CLOs and debt investments in controlling portfolio companies, management and the independent valuation firm estimated corporate and security credit ratings and identified corresponding yields to maturity for each loan from relevant market data. A discounted cash flow technique was then applied using the appropriate yield to maturity as the discount rate, to determine a range of values. In determining the range of values for debt investments of controlled companies and equity investments, the enterprise value was determined by applying a market approach such as using earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples, net income and/or book value multiples for similar guideline public companies and/or similar recent investment transactions and/or an income approach, such as the discounted cash flow technique. The enterprise value technique may also be used to value debt investments which are credit impaired. For stressed debt and equity investments, asset recovery analysis was used.

In determining the range of values for our investments in CLOs, the independent valuation firm uses a discounted multi-path cash flow model. The valuations were accomplished through the analysis of the CLO deal structures to identify the risk exposures from the modeling point of view as well as to determine an appropriate call date (i.e., expected maturity). These risk factors are sensitized in the multi-path cash flow model using Monte Carlo simulations, which are simulations used to model the probability of different outcomes, to generate probability-weighted (i.e., multi-path) cash flows for the underlying assets and liabilities. These cash flows are discounted using appropriate market discount rates, and relevant data in the CLO market and certain benchmark credit indices are considered, to determine the value of each CLO investment. In addition, we generate a single-path cash flow utilizing our best estimate of expected cash receipts, and assess the reasonableness of the implied discount rate that would be effective for the value derived from the corresponding multi-path cash flow model.

With respect to our online consumer and SME lending initiative, we invest primarily in marketplace loans through marketplace lending platforms.  We do not conduct loan origination activities ourselves. Therefore, our ability to purchase consumer and SME loans, and our ability to grow our portfolio of consumer and SME loans, are directly influenced by the business performance and competitiveness of the marketplace loan origination business of the marketplace lending platforms from which we purchase consumer and SME loans. In addition, our ability to analyze the risk-return profile of consumer and SME loans is significantly dependent on the marketplace platforms’ ability to effectively evaluate a borrower’s credit profile and likelihood of default. If we are unable to effectively evaluate borrowers’ credit profiles or the credit decisioning and scoring models implemented by each platform, we may incur unanticipated losses which could adversely impact our operating results.

The Board of Directors looked at several factors in determining where within the range to value the asset including: recent operating and financial trends for the asset, independent ratings obtained from third parties, comparable multiples for recent sales of companies within the industry and discounted cash flow models for our investments in CLOs. The composite of all these various valuation techniques, applied to each investment, was a total valuation of $7,736,817.

Our portfolio companies are generally lower middle-market companies, outside of the financial sector, with less than $100,000 of annual EBITDA. We believe our investment portfolio has experienced less volatility than others because we believe there are more buy and hold investors who own these less liquid investments.

Control Company Investments

Control investments offer increased risk and reward over straight debt investments. Operating results and changes in market multiples can result in dramatic changes in values from quarter to quarter. Significant downturns in operations can further result in our looking to recoveries on sales of assets rather than the enterprise value of the investment. Equity positions in our portfolio are susceptible to potentially significant changes in value, both increases as well as decreases, due to changes in operating results and market multiples. Our controlled companies discussed below experienced such changes and we recorded corresponding fluctuations in valuations during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

The fair value of our investment in Valley Electric increased to $189,492 as of September 30, 2023, a premium of $98,344 to its amortized cost, compared to a fair value of $165,784 as of June 30, 2023, representing a $74,636 premium to its amortized cost. The increase in premium to amortized cost was driven by an improvement in financial performance and expansion of comparable company trading multiples.

Our controlled investments, including those discussed above, are valued at $565,407 above their amortized cost as of September 30, 2023.

Affiliate and Non-Control Company Investments

118

We hold two affiliate investments at September 30, 2023 (Nixon, Inc. and RGIS Services, LLC, (“RGIS”)) with a total fair value of $12,541, a premium of $2,379 from their combined amortized cost, compared to a fair value as $10,397 of June 30, 2023, representing a $1,542 premium to its amortized cost. The increase in premium to amortized cost was driven by an improvement in RGIS’s financial performance.

With the non-control/non-affiliate investments, generally, there is less volatility related to our total investments because our equity positions tend to be smaller than with our control/affiliate investments, and debt investments are generally not as susceptible to large swings in value as equity investments. For debt investments, the fair value is generally limited on the high side to each loan’s par value, plus any prepayment premium that could be imposed. As of September 30, 2023, our non-control/non-affiliate portfolio is valued at a discount to amortized cost primarily due to our CLO investment portfolio, which is valued at a $281,998 discount to amortized cost. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, five of our non-control/ non-affiliate investments, United Sporting Companies, Inc. (“USC”), Engine Group, Inc (“Engine”), Curo Group Holdings Corp. (“Curo”), K&N (“K&N Parent, Inc.), and Rising Tide Holdings, Inc. (“West Marine”) are valued at discounts to amortized cost of $81,951, $29,056, $28,840, $24,253, and $17,805, respectively.

Our largest non-control/non-affiliate investment is Town & Country Holdings, Inc. (“Town & Country”), which is valued at $47,647 above its amortized cost and represents approximately 6.4% of our Net Asset Value as of September 30, 2023. Town & Country is a supplier of home textiles and accessories to retailers throughout North America.

Capitalization

Our investment activities are capital intensive and the availability and cost of capital is a critical component of our business. We capitalize our business with a combination of debt and equity. Our debt as of September 30, 2023 consists of: a Revolving Credit Facility availing us of the ability to borrow debt subject to borrowing base determinations; Convertible Notes which we issued in March 2019; Public Notes which we issued in October 2018, January 2021, May 2021 and September 2021; and Prospect Capital InterNotes® which we issue from time to time. As of September 30, 2023, our equity capital is comprised of common and preferred equity.

We may from time to time seek to cancel or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The amounts involved may be material. In addition, we may from time to time enter into additional debt facilities, increase the size of existing facilities or issue additional debt securities, including secured debt, unsecured debt and/or debt securities convertible into common stock. Any such purchases or exchanges of outstanding debt would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors.

Historically, we have funded a portion of our cash needs through borrowings from banks, issuances of senior securities, including secured, unsecured and convertible debt securities, or issuances of common equity. For flexibility, we maintain a universal shelf registration statement that allows for the public offering and sale of our debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, and warrants and units to purchase such securities up to an indeterminate amount. We may from time to time issue securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement or otherwise pursuant to private offerings. The issuance of debt or equity securities will depend on future market conditions, funding needs and other factors and there can be no assurance that any such issuance will occur or be successful.

Each of our Convertible Notes, Public Notes and Prospect Capital InterNotes® (collectively, our “Unsecured Notes”) are our general, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to any of our subordinated indebtedness that may be issued in the future. The Unsecured Notes are effectively subordinated to our existing secured indebtedness, such as our credit facility, and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to any existing and future liabilities and other indebtedness of any of our subsidiaries.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 15, 2007, we formed our wholly owned subsidiary, PCF, a Delaware limited liability company and a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which holds certain of our portfolio loan investments that are used as collateral for the revolving credit facility at PCF. Since origination of the revolving credit facility, we have renegotiated the terms and extended the

120

commitments of the revolving credit facility several times. Most recently, effective September 15, 2022, we completed an extension and upsizing of the revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The lenders have extended commitments of $1,954,500 as of September 30, 2023. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an accordion feature which allows commitments to be increased up to $2,000,000 in the aggregate. The extension and upsizing of the Revolving Credit Facility extends the maturity date to September 15, 2027 and the revolving period through September 15, 2026, followed by an additional one-year amortization period, with distributions allowed to Prospect after the completion of the revolving period. During such one-year amortization period, all principal payments on the pledged assets will be applied to reduce the balance. At the end of the one-year amortization period, the remaining balance will become due.

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, we had $799,833 and $697,325, respectively, available to us for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $915,021 and $1,014,703 outstanding borrowings as of the respective balance sheet dates. Refer to Note 4. Revolving Credit Facility within our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Convertible Notes

On March 1, 2019, we issued $175,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible notes that mature on March 1, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), unless previously converted or repurchased in accordance with their terms. We granted the underwriters a 13-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $26,250 aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option on March 11, 2019 and we issued $26,250 aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes at settlement on March 13, 2019. The 2025 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per year, payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 each year, beginning September 1, 2019. Total proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, were $198,674.

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Notes were $156,168 and $156,168, respectively. Refer to Note 5. Convertible Notes within our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Public Notes

On October 1, 2018, we issued $100,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes that mature on January 15, 2024 (the “6.375% 2024 Notes”). The 6.375% 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per year, payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2019. Total proceeds from the issuance of the 6.375% 2024 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, were $98,985.

On January 22, 2021, we issued $325,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes that mature on January 22, 2026 (the “Original 2026 Notes”). The Original 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.706% per year, payable semi-annually on July 22, and January 22 of each year, beginning on July 22, 2021. Total proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, were $317,720. On February 19, 2021, we issued an additional $75,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes that mature on January 22, 2026 (the “Additional 2026 Notes”, and together with the Original 2026 Notes, the “2026 Notes”). The Additional 2026 Notes were a further issuance of, and are fully fungible and rank equally in right of payment with, the Original 2026 Notes and bear interest at a rate of 3.706% per year, payable semi-annually on July 22 and January 22 of each year, beginning July 22, 2021. Total proceeds from the issuance of the Additional 2026 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, were $74,061.

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes was $400,000 and $400,000, respectively.

121

On May 27, 2021, we issued $300,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes that mature on November 15, 2026 (the “3.364% 2026 Notes”). The 3.364% 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.364% per year, payable semi-annually on November 15, and May 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2021. Total proceeds from the issuance of the 3.364% 2026 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, were $293,283.

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 3.364% 2026 Notes was $300,000 and $300,000, respectively.

On September 30, 2021, we issued $300,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes that mature on October 15, 2028 (the “3.437% 2028 Notes”). The 3.437% 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.437% per year, payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2022. Total proceeds from the issuance of the 3.437% 2028 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, were $291,798.

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 3.437% 2028 Notes was $300,000 and $300,000, respectively.

The 2023 Notes, the 6.375% 2024 Notes, 2026 Notes, the 3.364% 2026 Notes, and the 3.437% 2028 Notes (collectively, the “Public Notes”) are direct unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our unsecured indebtedness from time to time outstanding. Refer to Note 6. Public Notes within our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Prospect Capital InterNotes®

On February 13, 2020, we entered into a new selling agent agreement with InspereX LLC (formerly known as “Incapital LLC”)(the “Selling Agent Agreement”), authorizing the issuance and sale from time to time of up to $1,000,000 of Prospect Capital InterNotes® (collectively with previously authorized selling agent agreements, the “InterNotes® Offerings”). Additional agents may be appointed by us from time to time in connection with the InterNotes® Offering and become parties to the Selling Agent Agreement.

We have, from time to time, repurchased certain notes issued through the InterNotes® Offerings and, therefore, as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the aggregate principal amount of Prospect Capital InterNotes® outstanding were $358,834 and $358,105, respectively. Refer to Note 7. Prospect Capital InterNotes® within our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Net Asset Value Applicable to Common Stockholders

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, our net asset value applicable to common shares increased by $48,201 or $0.01 per common share. The net asset value increase is primarily due to income exceeding distributions to common and preferred shareholders partially offset by net realized and changes in unrealized losses and dilution.

During the the three months ended September 30, 2023, net realized losses of $207,079, or $0.51 per common share, were offset by net unrealized gains of $198,629, or $0.49 per common share, resulting in a net decrease of $0.02 per basic weighted average share. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, net investment income of $125,612, or $0.31 per basic weighted average common share exceeded distributions from earnings to common and preferred stockholders of $96,403, or $0.24 per basic weighted average common share, resulting in a net increase of $0.07 per basic weighted average common share. The increase was partially offset by $0.04 of dilution per common share related to common stock issuances through our dividend reinvestment program for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The following table shows the calculation of net asset value per common share as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023:

	September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023
Net assets available to common stockholders	$	3,780,866	$	3,732,665
Shares of common stock issued and outstanding	408,618,704		404,033,549
Net asset value per common share	$	9.25	$	9.24

Results of Operations

Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Investment income	$	236,245	$	202,674
Operating expenses	110,633		103,408

Gain on Repurchase of Preferred Stock	501		—
Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations applicable to Common Stockholders	$	94,011	$	(105,199)

        

While we seek to maximize gains and minimize losses, our investments in portfolio companies can expose our capital to risks greater than those we may anticipate. These companies typically do not issue securities rated investment grade, and have limited resources, limited operating history, and concentrated product lines or customers. These are generally private companies with limited operating information available and are likely to depend on a small core of management talents. Changes in any of these factors can have a significant impact on the value of the portfolio company. These changes, along with those discussed in Investment Valuation above, can cause significant fluctuations in our net change in unrealized gains (losses) from investments, and therefore our net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations applicable to common stockholders, quarter over quarter.

Investment Income

We generate revenue in the form of interest income on the debt securities that we own, dividend income on any common or preferred stock that we own, and fees generated from the structuring of new deals. Our investments, if in the form of debt securities, will typically have a term of one to ten years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. To the extent achievable, we will seek to collateralize our investments by obtaining security interests in our portfolio companies’ assets. We also may acquire minority or majority equity interests in our portfolio companies, which may pay cash or in-kind dividends on a recurring or otherwise negotiated basis. In addition, we may generate revenue in other forms including prepayment penalties and possibly consulting fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments are recognized as earned.

Investment income consists of interest income, including accretion of loan origination fees and prepayment penalty fees, dividend income and other income, including settlement of net profits interests, overriding royalty interests and structuring fees.

The following table describes the various components of investment income and the related levels of debt investments:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2023			2022
Interest income	$	202,447		$	174,318
Dividend income	3,059			2,901
Other income	30,739			25,455
Total investment income	$	236,245		$	202,674
Average debt principal of performing interest bearing investments(1)	$	7,176,988		$	6,979,112
Weighted average interest rate earned on performing interest bearing investments(1)	11.04		%	9.77		%
Average debt principal of all interest bearing investments(2)	$	7,754,286		$	7,287,336
Weighted average interest rate earned on all interest bearing investments(2)	10.22		%	9.36		%

(1) Excludes equity investments and non-accrual loans.

(2) Excludes equity investments.

The average interest earned on interest bearing performing assets increased to 11.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, from 9.77% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The average interest earned on all interest bearing assets increased to 10.22% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, from 9.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The weighted average interest rate earned on our portfolio increased by 1.27%, primarily due to an increase in LIBOR/SOFR rates rising above our floors amongst our interest-bearing investments, for which interest income from portfolio company investments increased to $184,255 from $149,386, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This increase was offset by a decrease in income from our structured credit investments to $16,687 from $22,895, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Investment income is also generated from dividends and other income which is less predictable than interest income. The following table describes dividend income earned for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Dividend income
RGIS Services, LLC	$	1,307	$	1,374
NMMB, Inc.	147		1,093
Other, net	1,605		434
Total dividend income	$	3,059	$	2,901

124

Other income is comprised of structuring fees, advisory fees, amendment fees, royalty interests, receipts for residual net profit and revenue interests, administrative agent fees and other miscellaneous and sundry cash receipts. The following table describes other income earned for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Structuring and amendment fees
National Property REIT Corp.	$	15,476	$	—
Julie Lindsey, Inc.	550		—
WatchGuard Technologies, Inc.	—		2,275
Burgess Point Purchaser Corporation	—		1,200
USG Intermediate, LLC	—		600

Administrative agent fees
Other, net	$	181	$	150
Total administrative agent fees	$	181	$	150
Total other income	$	30,739	$	25,455

Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased by $5,284 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to a $11,764 increase in structuring and amendment fees primarily due to efforts to amend and restate the NPRC credit agreement during the current period. This increase is partially offset by a decrease in royalty, net profit and revenue interest income by $6,511 compared to the three months ended September 30,2023 due to a $6,669 decline in residual profit interest from NPRC as a result of fluctuations in real estate activity.

Income recognized from dividend income, prepayment premiums from early repayments, structuring fees and amendment fees related to specific loan positions is considered to be non-recurring income. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we recognized $19,604 and $8,000 of non-recurring income, respectively. The $11,604 increase in non-recurring income during the three months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily due to the $11,764 increase in structuring and amendment fees.

Operating Expenses

Our primary operating expenses consist of investment advisory fees (base management and income incentive fees), borrowing costs, legal and professional fees, overhead-related expenses and other operating expenses. These expenses include our allocable portion of overhead under the Administration Agreement with Prospect Administration under which Prospect Administration provides administrative services and facilities for us. Our investment advisory fees compensate the Investment Adviser for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions.

125

The following table describes the various components of our operating expenses:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Base management fee	$	39,289	$	38,314
Income incentive fee	25,617		21,626
Interest and credit facility expenses	40,593		33,870
Allocation of overhead from Prospect Administration	2,113		3,099
Audit, compliance and tax related fees	1,017		2,301
Directors’ fees	135		131
Other general and administrative expenses	1,869		4,067
Total operating expenses	$	110,633	$	103,408

Total gross and net base management fee was $39,289 and $38,314 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in total gross base management fee is directly related to an increase in average total assets.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $25,617 and $21,626 of income incentive fees, respectively. This increase was driven by a corresponding increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income (net of preferred stock dividends) to $128,078 from $108,132 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. No capital gains incentive fee has yet been incurred pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $40,593 and $33,870 respectively, of interest and credit facility expenses related to our Revolving Credit Facility, Convertible Notes, Public Notes and Prospect Capital InterNotes® (collectively, our “Notes”). These expenses are related directly to the leveraging capacity put into place for each of those periods and the levels of indebtedness actually undertaken in those periods.

The table below describes the various expenses of our Notes and the related indicators of leveraging capacity and indebtedness during these years:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2023			2022

Interest expense was $36,815 and $30,811 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The weighted average stated interest rate on borrowings (excluding amortization, accretion and undrawn facility fees) was 5.46% and 4.33% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings was 6.02% and 4.76% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Both increases are primarily due to an increase of interest expense from increased LIBOR/SOFR rates for our Revolving Credit Facility partially offset by a decrease of interest expense from the maturity of the 2023 Notes.

The allocation of net overhead expense from Prospect Administration was $2,113 and $3,099 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Prospect Administration received estimated payments of $3,468 and $1,554 directly from our portfolio companies, and certain funds managed by the Investment Adviser for legal and tax services during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. In addition, we were given a credit in the amount of $1,212 for legal expenses incurred on behalf of our portfolio companies that were remitted to Prospect Administration during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Had Prospect Administration not received these payments, Prospect Administration’s charges for its administrative services would have increased by this amount.

Total operating expenses, excluding investment advisory fees, interest and credit facility expenses, and allocation of overhead from Prospect Administration (“Other Operating Expenses”), net of any expense reimbursements, were $3,021 and $6,499 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to an decrease in audit, compliance and tax related fees, as well as other general and administrative expenses.

The net realized loss during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the restructuring of PGX Holdings, Inc. (“PGX”). On September 28, 2023, PGX underwent a corporate restructuring with the new borrower being Credit.com Holdings, LLC. As part of this transaction, our existing First Lien Term Loan was restructured into new debt, resulting in a realized loss of $1,460. Our Second Lien Term Loan was written-off and we recorded a realized loss of $179,986, while reversing our previously recorded unrealized losses related to our investment in PGX, in the same amount.

Net Realized Loss from Extinguishment of Debt

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we recorded a net realized loss from the extinguishment of debt of $91 and $28, respectively. Refer to Capitalization for additional discussion.

Net Realized Gain from Repurchase of Preferred Stock

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we recorded a net realized gain from the repurchase of preferred Stock of $501 and $0, respectively. Refer to Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources for additional discussion.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, our operating activities provided $95,084 and used $76,899 of cash, respectively. The $171,983 increase is primarily driven by a $168,796 decrease in originations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022. There were no investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. Financing activities used $121,823 and provided $84,934 of cash during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, which included dividend payments of $92,802 and $68,176, respectively. The $206,757 decrease in cash provided by our financing activities is primarily driven by a $188,974 decrease in issuance of preferred stock, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Our primary uses of funds have been to continue to invest in portfolio companies, through both debt and equity investments, to repay outstanding borrowings and to make cash distributions to our stockholders.

Our primary sources of funds have historically been issuances of debt and common equity, and beginning with our year ended June 30, 2021, issuances of preferred equity. We have and may continue to fund a portion of our cash needs through repayments and opportunistic sales of our existing investment portfolio. We may also securitize a portion of our investments in unsecured or senior secured loans or other assets. Our objective is to put in place such borrowings in order to enable us to expand our portfolio. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we borrowed $219,000 and we made repayments totaling $318,682 under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2023, our outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility was $915,021. As of September 30, 2023, we had, net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, $154,818 outstanding on the Convertible Notes, $1,065,311 outstanding on the Public Notes and $352,324 outstanding on the Prospect Capital InterNotes® (See “Capitalization” above).

Undrawn committed revolvers and delayed draw term loans to our portfolio companies incur commitment and unused fees ranging from 0.00% to 7.25%. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, we had $27,316 and $47,875, respectively, of undrawn revolver and delayed draw term loan commitments to our portfolio companies. The fair value of our undrawn committed revolvers and delayed draw term loans was zero as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, as they were all floating rate instruments that repriced frequently.

On February 10, 2023, we filed a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-269714) that was effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act, and which replaced our previously effective registration statement on Form

129

N-2 that had been filed on February 13, 2020 and which was also effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act. The registration statement permits us to issue, through one or more transactions, an indeterminate amount of securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, subscription rights to purchase our securities, warrants representing rights to purchase our securities or separately tradable units combining two or more of our securities.

Preferred Stock

On August 3, 2020, we entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with Preferred Capital Securities, LLC (“PCS”), as amended on June 9, 2022, October 7, 2022, and February 10 2023, pursuant to which PCS has agreed to serve as the Company’s agent, principal distributor and dealer manager for the Company’s offering of up to 72,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. Such preferred stock will initially be issued in multiple series, including the 5.50% Series A1 Preferred Stock (“Series A1 Preferred Stock”), the 5.50% Series M1 Preferred Stock (“Series M1 Preferred Stock”), the 5.50% Series M2 Preferred Stock (“Series M2 Preferred Stock”), the 6.50% Series A3 Preferred Stock (“Series A3 Preferred Stock”), and the 6.50% Series M3 Preferred Stock (“Series M3 Preferred Stock”). In connection with such offering, on August 3, 2020, June 9, 2022, October 11, 2022 and February 10, 2023, we filed Articles Supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (“SDAT”), reclassifying and designating 120,000,000, 60,000,000, 120,000,000, and 60,000,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock into shares of preferred stock as “Convertible Preferred Stock.”

On October 30, 2020, and as amended on February 18, 2022, October 7, 2022, and February 10, 2023, we entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with InspereX LLC, pursuant to which InspereX LLC has agreed to serve as the Company’s agent and dealer manager for the Company’s offering of up to 10,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. Such preferred stock will initially be issued in multiple series, including the 5.50% Series AA1 Preferred Stock (the “Series AA1 Preferred Stock”), the 5.50% Series MM1 Preferred Stock (the “Series MM1 Preferred Stock”), the 6.50% Series AA2 Preferred Stock (the “Series AA2 Preferred Stock”), and the 6.50% Series MM2 Preferred Stock (the “Series MM2 Preferred Stock” and together with the Series M1 Preferred Stock, the Series M2 Preferred Stock, the Series M3 Preferred Stock, and the Series MM1 Preferred Stock, the “Series M Preferred Stock” and the Series MM2 Preferred Stock, together with the Series AA2 Preferred Stock, the Series A3 Preferred Stock and the Series M3 Preferred Stock, the “6.50% Preferred Stock”). In connection with such offering, on October 30, 2020, February 17, 2022 and October 11, 2022, we filed Articles Supplementary with the SDAT, reclassifying and designating an additional 80,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock into shares of preferred stock as Convertible Preferred Stock. On May 19, 2021, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement with UBS Securities LLC, relating to the offer and sale of 187,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of 5.50% Series A2 Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the “Series A2 Preferred Stock”, and together with the Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series M1 Preferred Stock, Series M2 Preferred Stock, Series AA1 Preferred Stock, and Series MM1 Preferred Stock, the “5.50% Preferred Stock”). The issuance of the Series A2 Preferred Stock settled on May 26, 2021. In connection with such offering, on May 19, 2021, we filed Articles Supplementary with the SDAT, reclassifying and designating an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock into shares of preferred stock as Convertible Preferred Stock.

In connection with the offerings of the 5.50% Preferred Stock and the 6.50% Preferred Stock, we adopted and amended, respectively, a preferred stock dividend reinvestment plan (the “Preferred Stock Plan” or the “Preferred Stock DRIP”), pursuant to which holders of the 5.50% Preferred Stock and the 6.50% Preferred Stock will have dividends on their 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock automatically reinvested in additional shares of such 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock, at a price per share of $25.00, if they elect.

Each series of 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock ranks (with respect to the payment of dividends and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) (a) senior to our common stock, (b) on parity with each other series of our preferred stock, and (c) junior to our existing and future secured and unsecured indebtedness. See Note 8, Fair Value and Maturity of Debt Outstanding for further discussion on our senior securities.

At any time prior to the listing of the 5.50% Preferred Stock and the 6.50% Preferred Stock on a national securities exchange, shares of the 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder of the 5.50% Preferred Stock and the 6.50% Preferred Stock (the “Holder Optional Conversion”). We will settle any Holder Optional Conversion by paying or delivering, as the case may be, (A) any portion of the Settlement Amount (as defined below) that we elect to pay in cash and (B) a number of shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to (1) (a) the Settlement Amount, minus (b) any portion of the Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash, divided by (2) the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of shares of our common stock over each of the five consecutive trading days ending on the Holder Conversion Exercise Date (such arithmetic average, the “5-day VWAP”). For the Series A1 Preferred Stock, the Series A3 Preferred Stock, the Series AA1 Preferred Stock, the Series AA2 Preferred Stock and the Series A2 Preferred Stock, “Settlement Amount” means (A) $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”), plus (B) unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including,

130

the Holder Conversion Exercise Date, minus (C) the applicable Holder Optional Conversion Fee for the respective Holder Conversion Deadline. For the Series M Preferred Stock, “Settlement Amount” means (A) the Stated Value, plus (B) unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the Holder Conversion Exercise Date, minus (C) the applicable Series M Clawback, if any. “Series M Clawback”, if applicable, means an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all dividends, whether paid or accrued, on such share of Series M Stock in the three full months prior to the Holder Conversion Exercise Date. Subject to certain limited exceptions, we will not pay any portion of the Settlement Amount in cash (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock) until the five year anniversary of the date on which a share of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock has been issued. Beginning on the five year anniversary of the date on which a share of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock is issued, we may elect to settle all or a portion of any Holder Optional Conversion in cash without limitation or restriction. The right of holders to convert a share of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock will terminate upon the listing of such share on a national securities exchange.

Subject to certain limited exceptions allowing earlier redemption, beginning on the earlier of the five year anniversary of the date on which a share of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock has been issued, or, for listed shares of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock, five years from the earliest date on which any series that has been listed was first issued (the earlier of such dates, the “Redemption Eligibility Date”), such share of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time or from time to time at our option (the “Issuer Optional Redemption”), at a redemption price of 100% of the Stated Value of the shares of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock to be redeemed plus unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

Subject to certain limitations, each share of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock may be converted at our option (the “Issuer Optional Conversion”). We will settle any Issuer Optional Conversion by paying or delivering, as the case may be, (A) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount (as defined below) that we elect to pay in cash and (B) a number of shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to (1) (a) the IOC Settlement Amount, minus (b) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash, divided by (2) the 5-day VWAP, subject to our ability to obtain or maintain any stockholder approval that may be required under the 1940 Act to permit us to sell our common stock below net asset value if the 5-day VWAP represents a discount to our net asset value per share of common stock. For the 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock, “IOC Settlement Amount” means (A) the Stated Value, plus (B) unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the date fixed for conversion. In connection with an Issuer Optional Conversion, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or maintain any stockholder approval that may be required under the 1940 Act to permit us to sell our common stock below net asset value. If we do not have or obtain any required stockholder approval under the 1940 Act to sell our common stock below net asset value and the 5-day VWAP is at a discount to our net asset value per share of common stock, we will settle any conversions in connection with an Issuer Optional Conversion by paying or delivering, as the case may be, (A) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash and (B) a number of shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to (1) (a) the IOC Settlement Amount, minus (b) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash, divided by (2) the NAV per share of common stock at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the date of conversion. We will not pay any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount from an Issuer Optional Conversion in cash (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock) until the Redemption Eligibility Date. Beginning on the Redemption Eligibility Date, we may elect to settle any Issuer Optional Conversion in cash without limitation or restriction. In the event that we exercise an Issuer Optional Conversion with respect to any shares of 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock, the holder of such 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock may instead elect a Holder Optional Conversion with respect to such 5.50% Preferred Stock or 6.50% Preferred Stock provided that the date of conversion for such Holder Optional Conversion would occur prior to the date of conversion for an Issuer Optional Conversion.

On July 12, 2021, we entered into an underwriting agreement by and among us, Prospect Capital Management L.P., Prospect Administration LLC, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and UBS Securities LLC, as representatives of the underwriters, relating to the offer and sale of 6,000,000 shares, or $150,000 in aggregate liquidation preference, of our 5.35% Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock” or “5.35% Preferred Stock”), at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, we also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock solely to cover over-allotments. The offer settled on July 19, 2021, and no additional shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were issued pursuant to the option. In connection with such offering, on July 15, 2021, we filed Articles Supplementary with SDAT, reclassifying and designating 6,900,000 shares of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock into shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks (with respect to the payment of dividends and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) (a) senior to our common stock, (b) on parity with each other series of our preferred stock, and (c) junior to our existing and future secured and unsecured indebtedness. See Note 8, Fair Value and Maturity of Debt Outstanding for further discussion on our senior securities.

We may from time to time seek to cancel or purchase our outstanding preferred stock through cash purchases and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The amounts involved may be material. Any such

131

purchases or exchanges of preferred stock would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. Our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase our Series A Preferred Stock. The manner, price, volume and timing of preferred share repurchases are subject to a variety of factors, including market conditions and applicable SEC rules. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 62,309 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for a total cost of approximately $1,001, including fees and commissions paid to the broker, representing an average repurchase price of $15.88 per share. The difference in the consideration transferred and the net carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock repurchased, which was $1,469, resulted in a gain applicable to common stock holders of approximately $501 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The repurchased shares reverted to authorized but unissued shares of Series A Preferred Stock and thus the Company holds no treasury stock.

Subject to certain limited exceptions allowing earlier redemption, at any time after the close of business on July 19, 2026 (any such date, an “Optional Redemption Date”), at our sole option, we may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock in whole or, from time to time, in part, out of funds legally available for such redemption, at a price per share equal to the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends on such shares (whether or not earned or declared, but excluding interest thereon) accumulated up to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. We may also redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at any time, in whole or, from time to time, in part, including prior to the Optional Redemption Date, pro rata, based on liquidation preference, with all other series of our then outstanding preferred stock, in the event that our Board determines to redeem any series of our preferred stock, in whole or, from time to time, in part, because such redemption is deemed necessary by the Board to comply with the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act or for us to maintain RIC status.

In the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below), we may, at our option, exercise our special optional redemption right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred by paying the liquidation preference, plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends on such shares (whether or not earned or declared, but excluding interest thereon) accumulated up to, but excluding, the date fixed for such redemption. To the extent that we exercise our optional redemption right or our special optional redemption right relating to the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not be permitted to exercise the conversion right described below in respect of their shares called for redemption.

Except to the extent that we have elected to exercise our optional redemption right or our special optional redemption right by providing notice of redemption prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined below), upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to convert some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of our shares of common stock per Series A Preferred Stock to be converted equal to the lesser of:

•the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the Liquidation Preference per share plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not earned or declared, but excluding interest thereon) accumulated up to, but excluding, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a Record Date for a Series A Preferred Stock dividend payment and prior to the corresponding Series A Preferred Stock dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid dividends will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Stock Price (as defined below); and

•6.03865, subject to certain adjustments,

subject, in each case, to provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration upon conversion as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If we have provided or provide a redemption notice with respect to some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock, holders of any Series A Preferred Stock that we have called for redemption will not be permitted to exercise their Change of Control Conversion Right in respect of any of their Series A Preferred Stock that have been called for redemption, and any Series A Preferred Stock subsequently called for redemption that have been tendered for conversion will be redeemed on the applicable date of redemption instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date.

For purposes of the foregoing discussion of a redemption upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the following definitions are applicable:

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of any of the following:

•the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation and other than an Excluded Transaction) in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Controlled Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than to any Permitted Holders); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, a pledge of assets pursuant to any of our secured debt instruments or the secured debt instruments of our Controlled Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be any such sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or disposition; or

132

•the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation and other than an Excluded Transaction) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than any Permitted Holders) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our outstanding Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consummation of any of the transactions referred to in the bullet points above will not be deemed a Change of Control Triggering Event if we or the acquiring or surviving consolidated entity has or continues to have a class of common securities (or ADRs representing such securities) listed on the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ, or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ, or is otherwise listed or quoted on a national securities exchange.

The “Change of Control Conversion Date” is the date the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be converted, which will be a business day selected by us that is no fewer than 20 days nor more than 35 days after the date on which we provide the notice described above to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

The “Common Stock Price” will be (i) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control Triggering Event by the holders of our common stock is solely cash, the amount of cash consideration per share of our common stock or (ii) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control Triggering Event by holders of our common stock is other than solely cash (x) the average of the closing sale prices per share of our common stock (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the closing bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average closing bid and the average closing ask prices) for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control Triggering Event as reported on the principal U.S. securities exchange on which our common stock is then traded, or (y) the average of the last quoted bid prices for our common stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. or similar organization for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control Triggering Event, if our common stock is not then listed for trading on a U.S. securities exchange.

“Controlled Subsidiary” means any of our subsidiaries, 50% or more of the outstanding equity interests of which are owned by us and our direct or indirect subsidiaries and of which we possess, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies, whether through the ownership of voting equity interests, by agreement or otherwise.

“Excluded Transaction” means (i) any transaction that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of all or substantially all of the outstanding shares of our Voting Stock; (ii) any changes resulting from a subdivision or combination or a change solely in par value; (iii) any transaction where the shares of our Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) immediately after giving effect to such transaction; (iv) any transaction if (A) we become a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (B)(1) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of our Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (2) immediately following that transaction no “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company; or (v) any transaction primarily for the purpose of changing our jurisdiction of incorporation or form of organization.

“Permitted Holders” means (i) us, (ii) one or more of our Controlled Subsidiaries and (iii) Prospect Capital Management or any affiliate of Prospect Capital Management that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction located in the United States of America and in the business of managing or advising clients.

“Voting Stocks” as applied to stock of any person, means shares, interests, participations or other equivalents in the equity interest (however designated) in such person having ordinary voting power for the election of the directors (or the equivalent) of such person, other than shares, interests, participations or other equivalents having such power only by reason of the occurrence of a contingency.

Except as provided above in connection with a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or property.

For so long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, we will not exercise any option we have to convert any other series of our outstanding preferred stock to common stock, including the Issuer Optional Conversion, or any other security ranking junior to such preferred stock. As a result, if dividends on the Preferred Stock have accumulated and been unpaid for a period of two years, a possibility of redemption outside of the Company’s control exists and in accordance with ASC 480, we have presented our 5.50% Preferred Stock, 6.50% Preferred Stock, and Series A Preferred Stock within temporary equity on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

We determined the estimated value as of September 30, 2023 of our 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock, with a $25.00 stated value per share. We engaged a third-party valuation service to assist in our determination based on the calculation

133

resulting from the total equity on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”), which was prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, adjusted for the fair value of our investments (i.e. from our Consolidated Schedule of Investments) and total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our Preferred Stock outstanding. Based on this methodology and because the result from the calculation above is greater than the $25.00 per share stated value of our 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock, the estimated value of our 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2023 is $25.00 per share.

Common Stock

Our common stockholders’ equity accounts as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 reflect cumulative shares issued, net of shares repurchased, as of those respective dates. Our common stock has been issued through public offerings, a registered direct offering, the exercise of over-allotment options on the part of the underwriters, our dividend reinvestment plan and in connection with the acquisition of certain controlled portfolio companies and in connection with our 5.50%     and 6.50% Preferred Stock Holder Optional Conversion and Optional Redemption Following Death of a Holder. When our common stock is issued, the related offering expenses have been charged against paid-in capital in excess of par. All underwriting fees and offering expenses were borne by us.

We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2023 or September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the Repurchase Program is $65,860.

On June 9, 2023, at a special meeting of stockholders, our stockholders authorized us to sell shares of our common stock (during the next 12 months) at a price or prices below our net asset value per share at the time of sale in one or more offerings, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the proxy statement relating to the special meeting (including that the number of shares sold on any given date does not exceed 25% of its outstanding common stock immediately prior to such sale).

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In applying many of these accounting principles, we make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. These estimates, however, are subjective and subject to change, and actual results may differ materially from our current estimates due to the inherent nature of these estimates.

Our critical accounting estimates, including those relating to the valuation of our investment portfolio, are described below. The critical accounting estimates should be read in conjunction with our risk factors as disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on how fair value of our investment portfolio is determined, and Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for information about the inputs and assumptions used to measure fair value of our investment portfolio.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

To value our investments, we follow the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in conformity with GAAP, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the fair value of our investments is defined as the price that we would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market in which that investment is transacted.

ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

135

•Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.

•Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. All of our investments carried at fair value are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, with a significant portion of our investments classified as Level 3.

Investments

We determine the fair value of our investments on a quarterly basis, with changes in fair value reflected as a net change in unrealized gains (losses) from investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company applies the SEC’s Rule 2a-5 in determining fair value of its investments. Rule 2a-5 establishes a consistent, principles-based framework for boards of directors to use in creating their own specific processes in order to determine fair values in good faith.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, management and the independent valuation firm look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. In determining the range of values for debt instruments where market quotations are not readily available, we perform a multiple step valuation process with our investment professionals alongside our independent valuation firms. The independent valuation firms prepare valuations for each investment which are presented by the independent valuation firms to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. The Audit Committee makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors of the value for each investment and the Board of Directors approves the values with the input of the Investment Adviser.

Management and the independent valuation firm may consider various factors in determining the fair value of our investments. One prominent factor is the enterprise value of a portfolio company determined by applying a market approach such as using earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples, net income and/or book value multiples for similar guideline public companies and/or similar recent investment transactions and/or an income approach, such as the discounted cash flow technique. If relevant, management and the independent valuation firms will consider the pricing indicated by external events such as a purchase or sale transaction to corroborate the valuation.

Changes in market yields, discount rates, capitalization rates or EBITDA multiples, each in isolation, may change the fair value measurement of certain of our investments. Generally, an increase in market yields, discount rates or capitalization rates, or a decrease in EBITDA (or other) multiples may result in a decrease in the fair value measurement of certain of our investments.

Our investments that are classified as Level 3 are primarily valued utilizing a discounted cash flow, enterprise value (“EV”) waterfall, or asset recovery analysis. The discounted cash flow converts future cash flows or earnings to a range of fair values from which a single estimate may be derived utilizing an appropriate discount rate. The fair value measurement is based on the net present value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Under the EV waterfall, the EV of a portfolio company is first determined and allocated over the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another (i.e., “waterfall” allocation). To determine the EV, we typically use a market (multiples) valuation approach that considers relevant and applicable market trading data of guideline public companies, transaction metrics from precedent merger and acquisitions transactions, and/or a discounted cash flow . The asset recovery analysis is intended to approximate the net recovery value of an investment based on, among other things, assumptions regarding liquidation proceeds based on a hypothetical liquidation of a portfolio company’s assets.

In determining the range of values for our investments in CLOs, the independent valuation firm uses a discounted multi-path cash flow model. Various risk factors are sensitized in the multi-path cash flow model using Monte Carlo simulations to generate probability-weighted (i.e., multi-path) cash flows for the underlying assets and liabilities. These cash flows are discounted using appropriate market discount rates, and relevant data in the CLO market and certain benchmark credit indices are considered, to determine the value of each CLO investment.

At September 30, 2023, $5,081,667, $2,586,865, and $20,339 of our total investments were valued using the discounted cash flow, enterprise value waterfall, and asset recovery analysis, respectively, compared to $5,192,734, $2,503,571, and $21,145, respectively, at June 30, 2023.

136

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the currently assigned valuations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 2 within the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and equity price risk. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of rising interest rates in response to inflation, renewed hostilities in the Middle East, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, and the effects of this volatility could materially impact our market risks, including those listed below. Concerning these risks and their potential impact on our business and our operating results, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, “Risks Relating to Our Business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates impacting some of the loans in our portfolio which have floating interest rates. Additionally, because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, “Risks Relating to Our Business - Changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital and net investment income” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our debt investments may be based on floating rates or fixed rates. For our floating rate loans the rates are determined from the LIBOR, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), EURO Interbank Offer Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate. The floating interest rate loans may be subject to a SOFR floor. Our loans typically have durations of one, three or six months after which they reset to current market interest rates. As of September 30, 2023, 83.44% of the interest earning investments in our portfolio, at fair value, bore interest at floating rates.

We also have a revolving credit facility that is based on floating SOFR rates. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is one-month SOFR plus 205 basis points with no minimum SOFR floor and there is $915,021 as of September 30, 2023. The Convertible Notes, Public Notes and remaining Prospect Capital InterNotes® bear interest at fixed rates.

On March 5, 2021, the FCA announced that (i) 24 LIBOR settings would cease to exist immediately after December 31, 2021 (all seven euro LIBOR settings; all seven Swiss franc LIBOR settings; the Spot Next, 1-week, 2-month, and 12-month Japanese yen LIBOR settings; the overnight, 1-week, 2-month, and 12-month sterling LIBOR settings; and the 1-week and 2-month US dollar LIBOR settings); (ii) the overnight and 12-month US LIBOR settings would cease to exist after June 30, 2023; and (iii) the FCA would consult on whether the remaining nine LIBOR settings should continue to be published on a synthetic basis for a certain period using the FCA’s proposed new powers that the UK government is legislating to grant to them.

The following table shows the approximate annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate flows for floating rate instruments, excluding our investments in Subordinated Structured Notes) to our loan portfolio and outstanding debt as of September 30, 2023, assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

137

(in thousands) Basis Point Change	Increase (Decrease) in Interest Income		(Increase) Decrease in Interest Expense		Increase (Decrease) in Net Investment Income		Increase (Decrease) in Net Investment Income (1)
Up 300 basis points	$	143,616	$	(27,451)	$	116,165	$	92,932
Up 200 basis points	$	96,588	$	(18,300)	$	78,288	$	62,630

Down 300 basis points	$	(126,396)	$	48,670	$	(77,726)	$	(62,181)

(1)Includes the impact of income incentive fees. See Note 13 in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on income incentive fees.

As of September 30, 2023, one, three, and six month LIBOR were 5.43%, 5.66% and 5.90%, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 the one, three, and six month SOFR were 5.32%, 5.40%, and 5.47% respectively.

We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of higher interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments. During the period ended September 30, 2023, we did not engage in hedging activities.

138

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2023, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

139

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

(All figures in this item are in thousands except share, per share and other data.)

From time to time, we may become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to intellectual property, employment, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of such matters as may arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

We are not aware of any material legal proceedings as of September 30, 2023.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed below and the risk factors in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. (All figures in this item are in thousands except share, per share and other data.)

Risks Relating to Our Securities

Senior securities, including debt and preferred equity, expose us to additional risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We use our revolving credit facility to leverage our portfolio and we expect in the future to borrow from and issue senior debt securities to banks and other lenders and may securitize certain of our portfolio investments. We also have the Unsecured Notes outstanding and have launched a convertible preferred share offering program, which are forms of leverage and are senior in payment rights to our common stock.

Business development companies are generally able to issue senior securities such that their asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% of gross assets less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, after each issuance of senior securities. In March 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act added Section 61(a)(2) to the 1940 Act, a successor provision to Section 61(a)(1) referenced therein, which reduces the asset coverage requirement applicable to business development companies from 200% to 150% so long as the business development company meets certain disclosure requirements and obtains certain approvals. On May 5, 2020, the Company's stockholders voted to approve the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements in Section 61(a)(2) to the Company effective as of May 6, 2020. As a result of the stockholder approval, effective May 6, 2020, the asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act applicable to the Company decreased to 150% from 200%. In other words, under the 1940 Act, the Company is now able to borrow $2 for investment purposes for every $1 of investor equity, as opposed to borrowing $1 for investment purposes for every $1 of investor equity. As a result, the Company will be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future and investors in the Company may face increased investment risk. In addition, the Company’s management fee payable to the Investment Adviser is based on the Company's average adjusted gross assets, which includes leverage and, as a result, if the Company incurs additional leverage, management fees paid to the Investment Adviser would increase.

With certain limited exceptions, as a BDC, we are only allowed to borrow amounts or otherwise issue senior securities such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing or other issuance. The amount of leverage that we employ will depend on the Investment Adviser’s and our Board of Directors’ assessment of market conditions and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful. Leverage involves risks and special considerations for stockholders, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including the following:

•A likelihood of greater volatility in the net asset value and market price of our common stock;

•Diminished operating flexibility as a result of asset coverage or investment portfolio composition requirements required by lenders or investors that are more stringent than those imposed by the 1940 Act;

•The possibility that investments will have to be liquidated at less than full value or at inopportune times to comply with debt covenants or to pay interest or dividends on the leverage;

•Increased operating expenses due to the cost of leverage, including issuance and servicing costs;

140

•Convertible or exchangeable securities, such as the Convertible Notes outstanding or those issued in the future (including the Preferred Stock (as defined herein)), may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our common stock including, the case of the Preferred Stock, the statutory right under the 1940 Act to vote, as a separate class, on the election of two of our directors and approval of certain fundamental transactions in certain circumstances;

•Subordination to lenders’ superior claims on our assets as a result of which lenders will be able to receive proceeds available in the case of our liquidation before any proceeds will be distributed to our stockholders;

•Difficulty meeting our payment and other obligations under the Unsecured Notes and our other outstanding debt or preferred equity;

•The occurrence of an event of default if we fail to comply with the financial and/or other restrictive covenants contained in our debt agreements, including the credit agreement and each indenture governing the Unsecured Notes, which event of default could result in all or some of our debt becoming immediately due and payable;

•Reduced availability of our cash flow to fund investments, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for these purposes;

•The risk of increased sensitivity to interest rate increases on our indebtedness with variable interest rates, including borrowings under our amended senior credit facility; and

•Reduced flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, and increasing our vulnerability to, changes in our business, the industry in which we operate and the general economy.

For example, the amount we may borrow under our revolving credit facility is determined, in part, by the fair value of our investments. If the fair value of our investments declines, we may be forced to sell investments at a loss to maintain compliance with our borrowing limits. Other debt facilities we may enter into in the future may contain similar provisions. Any such forced sales would reduce our net asset value and also make it difficult for the net asset value to recover. The Investment Adviser and our Board of Directors in their best judgment nevertheless may determine to use leverage if they expect that the benefits to our stockholders of maintaining the leveraged position will outweigh the risks.

•In addition, our ability to meet our payment and other obligations of the Preferred Stock, the Unsecured Notes and our credit facility depends on our ability to generate significant cash flow in the future. This, to some extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors as well as other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot provide assurance that our business will generate cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to us under our existing credit facility or otherwise, in an amount sufficient to enable us to meet our payment obligations under the Preferred Stock, the Unsecured Notes and our other debt and to fund other liquidity needs. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt and preferred equity obligations, we may need to refinance or restructure our debt or preferred equity, including the Unsecured Notes, sell assets, reduce or delay capital investments, or seek to raise additional capital. If we are unable to implement one or more of these alternatives, we may not be able to meet our payment obligations under the Preferred Stock, the Unsecured Notes and our other debt.

(1) Assumes no conversion of 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock to common stock.

(2) Assumes the conversion of $0.9 billion in 5.50% Preferred Stock and $1.2 billion in 6.50% Preferred Stock at a conversion rate based on the 5-day VWAP of our common stock on September 30, 2023, which was $6.00, and a Holder Optional Conversion Fee (as defined in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable offering) of 9.00% on Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series A3 Preferred Stock, and Series AA2 Preferred Stock of the maximum public offering price disclosed within the applicable prospectus supplements. The actual 5-day VWAP of our common stock on a Holder Conversion Exercise Date may be more or less than $6.00, which may result in more or less shares of common stock issued.

The assumed portfolio return is required by regulation of the SEC and is not a prediction of, and does not represent, our projected or actual performance. Actual returns may be greater or less than those appearing in the table.

Pursuant to SEC regulations, this table is calculated as of September 30, 2023. As a result, it has not been updated to take into account any changes in assets or leverage since September 30, 2023.

General Risk Factors

We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly results.

We could experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including the level of structuring fees received, the interest or dividend rates payable on the debt or equity securities we hold, the default rate on debt securities, the level of our expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which we encounter competition in our markets, and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.

The following table sets forth, for the quarterly reporting periods indicated, the net asset value per common share of our common stock and the high and low sales prices for our common stock, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Our common stock historically has traded at prices both above and below its net asset value. There can be no assurance, however, that such premium or discount, as applicable, to net asset value will be maintained. See also “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023 for additional information about the risks and uncertainties we face.

Recent Sales of Common Stock Below Net Asset Value

At our 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, and at special meetings of stockholders held on June 12, 2020, June 11, 2021, June 10, 2022, and June 9, 2023 our stockholders approved our ability to sell shares of our common

144

stock at a price or prices below our NAV per common share at the time of sale in one or more offerings. The current approval to sell shares of our common stock below our NAV per common share is valid until June 9, 2024 and subject to certain conditions as set forth in the proxy statement relating to the special meeting (including that the number of shares sold on any given date does not exceed 25% of our outstanding common stock immediately prior to such sale). Accordingly, we may make offerings of our common stock without any limitation on the total amount of dilution to stockholders. Our prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to this offering contains additional information about these offerings. Pursuant to the authority granted by our stockholders and the approval of our Board of Directors, we have made the following offerings below NAV per common share:

Date of Offering	Price Per Share to Investors	Shares Issued	Estimated Net Asset Value per Common Share(1)	Percentage Dilution
June 15, 2020 to June 22, 2020(2)	$5.29 - $5.40	1,158,222	$7.93 - 7.94	0.10%

(1) The data for sales of common shares below NAV pursuant to our equity distribution agreements are estimates based on our last reported NAV prior to the respective period adjusted for capital events occurring during the period since the last calculated NAV. All amounts presented are approximations based on the best available data at the time of issuance.

(2) At the market offering. Dates of offering represent the sales dates of the stock. The settlement dates are two business days later than the sale dates.

FEES AND EXPENSES

The following tables are intended to assist you in understanding the costs and expenses that an investor in shares of common stock will bear directly or indirectly. We caution you that some of the percentages indicated in the table below are estimates and may vary. These tables are based on our assets and common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2023, except that we assume that we have issued $0.9 billion in 5.50% Preferred Stock paying dividends of 5.50% per annum, $1.2 billion in 6.50% Preferred Stock paying dividends of 6.50% per annum, in addition to our $0.15 billion of 5.35% Preferred Stock paying dividends of 5.35% per annum, and that we have borrowed $1.95 billion under our credit facility, which is the maximum amount available under the credit facility with the current levels of other debt, in addition to our other indebtedness of $1.6 billion. Except where the context suggests otherwise, any reference to fees or expenses paid by “you” or “us” or that “we” will pay fees or expenses, the Company will pay such fees and expenses out of our net assets and, consequently, you will indirectly bear such fees or expenses as an investor in the Company’s common stock. However, you will not be required to deliver any money or otherwise bear personal liability or responsibility for such fees or expenses.

Stockholder transaction expenses:	A1 and A3 Shares		M1, M2, and M3 Shares		AA1 Shares, MM1 Shares, AA2 Shares, and MM2 Shares

Example

The following table demonstrates the projected dollar amount of cumulative expenses we would pay out of net assets and that you would indirectly bear over various periods with respect to a hypothetical investment in our common stock. In calculating the following expense amounts, we have assumed we have issued $0.9 billion in 5.50% Preferred Stock paying dividends of 5.50% per annum, $1.2 billion in 6.50% Preferred Stock paying dividends of 6.50% per annum, $0.15 billion in 5.35% Preferred Stock paying dividends of 5.35% per annum, we have borrowed $1.95 billion available under our line of credit, in addition to our other indebtedness of $1.6 billion, and that our annual operating expenses would remain at the levels set forth in the table above and that we would pay the costs shown in the table above.

	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
Ongoing Preferred Stock Offerings(1) - You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment in shares of our common stock, assuming a 5% annual return on our portfolio*	$	201	$	443	$	638	$	979
Ongoing Preferred Stock Offerings(1) - You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment in shares of our common stock, assuming a 5% annual return on our portfolio**	$	210	$	464	$	665	$	1,002

(1) Represents the highest level of expenses from all ongoing Preferred Stock offerings references in the Fee and Expenses table above, assuming the maximum number of shares of Preferred Stock offered in each offering is sold. Presently a maximum

146

of 72 million A1, A3, M1, M2, and M3 shares may be sold, and a maximum of 10 million AA1, AA2, MM1 and MM2 shares may be sold.

* Assumes that we will not realize any capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on our portfolio.

** Assumes no unrealized capital depreciation or realized capital losses and 5% annual return on our portfolio resulting entirely from net realized capital gains (and therefore subject to the capital gains incentive fee).

While the example assumes, as required by the SEC, a 5% annual return on our portfolio, our performance will vary and may result in a return greater or less than 5%. The income incentive fee under our Investment Advisory Agreement with Prospect Capital Management is unlikely to be material assuming a 5% annual return on our portfolio and is not included in the example. If we achieve sufficient returns on our portfolio, including through the realization of capital gains, to trigger an incentive fee of a material amount, our distributions to our common stockholders and our expenses would likely be higher. In addition, while the example assumes reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions at NAV, common stockholders that participate in our common stock dividend reinvestment plan will receive a number of shares of our common stock determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to a participant by 95% of the market price per share of our common stock at the close of trading on the valuation date for the distribution.

This example and the expenses in the table above should not be considered a representation of our future expenses. Actual expenses (including the cost of debt, if any, and other expenses) may be greater or less than those shown.

(1)    Includes up to a 7.0% selling commission on the $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”) paid by the Company and a dealer manager fee equal to 3.0% of the Stated Value paid by the Company. Reductions in selling commissions will be reflected in reduced public offering prices as described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the applicable prospectus supplement and the net proceeds to us will not be impacted by such reductions; therefore, we will bear a reduction in net proceeds to us up to 7.0% of the Stated Value on all A1 and A3 Shares although the selling commission compensation paid by us to our dealer manager may represent less than 7.0% of the Stated Value. We may, through the Holder Optional Conversion Fee, recoup a portion of the Sales Load if stockholders exercise a Holder Optional Conversion (as defined in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable offering) of their Preferred Stock prior to the 5-year anniversary of the original issue date. The Holder Optional Conversion Fee is 9.00% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein prior to the first anniversary of the

issuance of such Preferred Stock, 8.00% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein on or after the first anniversary

but prior to the second anniversary, 7.00% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein on or after the second

anniversary but prior to the third anniversary, 6.00% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein on or after the third

anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary, 5.00% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein on or after the

fourth anniversary but prior to the fifth anniversary and 0.00% on or after the fifth anniversary.

(2)    Includes a dealer manager fee equal to 3.0% of the Stated Value paid by the Company.

(3)     Includes up to a 4.875% selling commission on the $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”) paid by the Company and a

dealer manager fee equal to 0.125% of the Stated Value paid by the Company. For the AA1 Shares and AA2 Shares we may,

through the Holder Optional Conversion Fee, recoup a portion of the Sales Load if stockholders exercise a Holder Optional

Conversion (as defined in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable offering) of their Preferred Stock prior to the 5-

year anniversary of the original issue date. The Holder Optional Conversion Fee is 9.00% of the maximum public offering price

disclosed herein prior to the first anniversary of the issuance of such Preferred Stock, 8.00% of the maximum public offering

price disclosed herein on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary, 7.00% of the maximum public

offering price disclosed herein on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary, 6.00% of the maximum

public offering price disclosed herein on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary, 5.00% of the

maximum public offering price disclosed herein on or after the fourth anniversary but prior to the fifth anniversary and 0.00%

on or after the fifth anniversary.

(4)    The selling commission and dealer manager fee, when combined with organization and offering expenses (including

due diligence expenses and fees for establishing servicing arrangements for new stockholder accounts), are not expected to

exceed 11.5% of the gross offering proceeds. Our Board of Directors may, in its discretion, authorize the Company to incur

underwriting and other offering expenses in excess of 11.5% of the gross offering proceeds. In no event will the combined

selling commission, dealer manager fee and offering expenses exceed FINRA’s limit on underwriting and other offering

expenses.

(5)    The selling commission and dealer manager fee, when combined with organization and offering expenses (including

147

due diligence expenses), are not expected to exceed 6.0% of the gross offering proceeds. Our Board of Directors may, in its

discretion, authorize the Company to incur underwriting and other offering expenses in excess of 6.0% of the gross offering

proceeds. In no event will the combined selling commission, dealer manager fee and offering expenses exceed FINRA’s limit

on underwriting and other offering expenses.

(6)    The expenses of the Preferred DRIP are included in “other expenses.” See “Capitalization” in the applicable prospectus supplement.

(7)    Our base management fee is 2% of our gross assets (which include any amount borrowed, i.e., total assets without deduction for any liabilities, including any borrowed amounts for non-investment purposes, for which purpose we have not and have no intention of borrowing). Although no plans are in place to borrow the full amount under our line of credit, assuming that we borrowed $1.95 billion, the 2% management fee of gross assets equals approximately 5.06% of net assets.

(8)    Based on our net investment income and realized capital gains, less realized and unrealized capital losses, earned on our portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2023, all of which consisted of an income incentive fee. This historical amount has been adjusted to reflect the issuance of 82,187,000 shares of combined 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock. The capital gain incentive fee is paid without regard to pre-incentive fee income. For a more detailed discussion of the calculation of the two-part incentive fee, see “Management Services-Investment Advisory Agreement” in the applicable prospectus.

(9)    As of September 30, 2023, we had $1.6 billion outstanding of Unsecured Notes (as defined below) in various maturities, ranging from January 15, 2024 to March 15, 2052, and interest rates, ranging from 1.50% to 6.625%, some of which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at various conversion rates.

(10)    “Other expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. The amount shown above represents annualized expenses during our three months ended September 30, 2023 representing all of our estimated recurring operating expenses (except fees and expenses reported in other items of this table) that are deducted from our operating income and reflected as expenses in our Statement of Operations. The estimate of our overhead expenses, including payments under an administration agreement with Prospect Administration, or the Administration Agreement is based on our projected allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Prospect Administration in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. See “Business-Management Services-Administration Agreement” in the applicable prospectus.

(11)    If all 82,187,000 shares of combined 5.50% Preferred Stock and 6.50% Preferred Stock were converted into common stock and assuming all the Series A1, Series A3, and Series AA2 Preferred Stock pay a Holder Optional Conversion Fee of 9.00% and all the Series A2 Preferred Stock pay a Holder Optional Conversion Fee of 7.50% of the maximum public offering price disclosed within the applicable prospectus supplement and are converted at a conversion rate based on the 5-day VWAP of our common stock on September 30, 2023, which was $6.05, then management fees would be 3.26%, incentive fees payable under our Investment Advisory Agreement would be 1.77%, total advisory fees would be 5.03%, total interest expenses would be 3.80%, other expenses would be 0.35%, and total annual expenses would be 9.18% of net assets attributable to our common stock. The actual 5-day VWAP of our common stock on a conversion date may be more or less than $6.05, which may result in fees that are higher or lower than those described herein. These figures are based on the same assumptions described in the other notes to this fee table.

(12)    Based on the 5.50% per annum dividend rate applicable to the A1 Shares, M1 Shares, M2 Shares, AA1 Shares, MM1 Shares, and A2 Shares. Also based on the 5.35% per annum dividend rate applicable to the A Shares. Also based on the 6.50% per annum dividend rate applicable to the A3 Shares, M3 Shares, AA2 Shares, and MM2 Shares. Other series of preferred stock, including other series of preferred stock being sold in different offerings, may bear different annual dividend rates. No dividend will be paid on shares of Preferred Stock after they have been converted to shares of common stock.

(13)     The indirect expenses associated with the Company’s investments in collateralized loan obligations are not included in the fee table presentation, but if such expenses were included in the fee table presentation then the Company’s total annual expenses would have been 14.77%, or 18.33% after dividends on Preferred Stock.
