Independent Auditor’s Report

Board of Directors

PennantPark Senior Secured Loan Fund I LLC

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of PennantPark Senior Secured Loan Fund I LLC and its subsidiaries (the Fund), which comprise the consolidated statements of assets, liabilities and members’ equity, including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations, changes in members’ equity and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Fund and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

1

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

•Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

•Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

•Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

1.ORGANIZATION

PennantPark Senior Secured Loan Fund I LLC ("PSSL"), is organized as a Delaware limited liability company and commenced operations in May 2017. PSSL is a joint venture between PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. ("PFLT") and Trinity Universal Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR), ("Kemper"). In this report, except where the context suggests otherwise, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to PSSL and its consolidated subsidiary.

The Company's investment objectives are to generate current income and capital appreciation while seeking to preserve capital. We seek to achieve our investment objective by investing primarily in loans bearing a variable-rate of interest, or floating rate loans, and other investments made to U.S. middle-market companies whose debt is rated below investment grade. Floating rate loans pay interest at variable rates, which are determined periodically, on the basis of a floating base lending rate such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), with or without a floor, plus a fixed spread.

PFLT and Kemper (individually a "Member" and collectively the "Members") provide capital to PSSL in the form of notes and equity interests. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, PFLT and Kemper owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of each of the outstanding notes and equity interests. The administrative agent of the Company is PennantPark Investment Administration, LLC, (the "Administrative Agent"). The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, or the Sub-Administrator, provides certain services to the Administrative Agent with respect to certain accounting matters and has the responsibility for the official books and records.

PFLT and Kemper each appointed two members to PSSL’s four-person board of directors and investment committee. All material decisions with respect to PSSL, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of directors or investment committee. Quorum is defined as (i) the presence of two members of the board of directors or investment committee; provided that at least one individual is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each of the Members; (ii) the presence of three members of the board of directors or investment committee, provided that the individual that was elected, designated or appointed by the Member with only one individual present shall be entitled to cast two votes on each matter; and (iii) the presence of four members of the board of directors or investment committee shall constitute a quorum, provided that two individuals are present that were elected, designated or appointed by each of the Members.

Pennant Park Senior Secured Loan Facility II, LLC ("PSSL II"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSSL, was formed in January 2021 for the purpose of entering into a senior secured revolving credit facility with Ally Bank (see Note 10).

PennantPark CLO II, Ltd. ("CLO II") is a wholly-owned subsidiary and was formed in January 2021 for the purpose of executing a debt securitization (See Note 10).

PennantPark CLO VI, LLC ("CLO VI") is a wholly-owned subsidiary and was formed in April 2023 for the purpose of executing a debt securitization (See Note 10).

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PSSL is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. References to the Accounting Standards Codification, as amended ("ASC"), serves as a source of accounting literature. Subsequent events are evaluated and recognized or disclosed as appropriate for events occurring through the date the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of our assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements have been included. Actual results could differ from these estimates due to changes in the economic and regulatory environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates and assumptions. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

12

PENNANTPARK SENIOR SECURED LOAN FUND I LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

Our significant accounting policies consistently applied are as follows:

(a)Investment Valuations

We expect that there may not be readily available market values for many of our investments, which are or will be in our portfolio, and we value such investments at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of directors using a documented valuation policy, described herein, and a consistently applied valuation process. With respect to investments for which there is no readily available market value, the factors that the board of directors may consider in pricing our investments at fair value include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we consider the pricing indicated by the external event in determining our valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the price used in an actual transaction may be different than our valuation and the difference may be material. See Note 4.

Our portfolio generally consists of illiquid securities, including debt investments. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which market quotations are deemed not reflective of the fair value, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

(1)Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of PennantPark Investment Advisers, LLC, the investment adviser to PFLT, responsible for the portfolio investment;

(2)Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the management of PennantPark Investment Advisers, LLC;

(3)Our board of directors also engages independent valuation firms to conduct independent appraisals of our investments for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment. The independent valuation firms review PennantPark Investment Advisers, LLC’s preliminary valuations in light of their own independent assessment and also in light of any market quotations obtained from an independent pricing service, broker, dealer or market maker;

(4)Our board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of PennantPark Investment Advisers, LLC and those of the independent valuation firms on a quarterly basis, periodically assesses the valuation methodologies of the independent valuation firms, and responds to and supplements the valuation recommendations of the independent valuation firms to reflect any comments; and

(5)Our board of directors assesses these valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith, based on the input of PennantPark Investment Advisers, LLC and the respective independent valuation firms.

Our board of directors generally uses market quotations to assess the value of our investments for which market quotations are readily available. We obtain these market values from independent pricing services or at bid prices obtained from at least two brokers or dealers, if available, or otherwise from a principal market maker or a primary market dealer. PennantPark Investment Advisers, LLC assesses the source and reliability of bids from brokers or dealers. If the board of directors has a bona fide reason to believe any such market quote does not reflect the fair value of an investment, it may independently value such investments by using the valuation procedure that it uses with respect to assets for which market quotations are not readily available.

(b)Security Transactions, Revenue Recognition, and Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses

Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. For loans and debt investments with contractual payment-in-kind, or PIK interest, which represents interest accrued and added to the loan balance that generally becomes due at maturity, we will generally not accrue PIK interest when the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is not collectable. We do not accrue as a receivable, interest on loans and debt investments if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such interest. Loan origination fees, original issue discount ("OID"), market discount or premium and deferred financing costs on liabilities, which we do not fair value, are capitalized and then accreted or amortized using the effective interest method as interest income or, in the case of deferred financing costs, as

13

PENNANTPARK SENIOR SECURED LOAN FUND I LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

interest expense. Dividend income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis on the ex-dividend date to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. From time to time, the Company receives certain fees from portfolio companies, which are non-recurring in nature. Such fees include loan prepayment penalties, structuring fees and amendment fees, and are recorded as other investment income when earned.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more and/or if there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest receivable is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the Company’ judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the Company’ judgment, are likely to remain current. As of September 30, 2024, we had two portfolio companies on non-accrual, representing 2.0% and 1.0% of our overall portfolio on a cost and fair value basis. As of September 30, 2023, we had two portfolio companies on non-accrual, representing 1.5% and 0.3% of our overall portfolio on a cost and fair value basis.

We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, using the specific identification method, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in the fair values of our portfolio investments during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

(c)Income Taxes

PSSL is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Accordingly, no provisions for U.S. income taxes have been made. The Members are responsible for reporting their share of the PSSL’s income or loss on their U.S. income tax returns.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, the Company is required to determine whether a tax position of PSSL is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position, to be sustained upon examination including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could result in PSSL recording a tax liability that would reduce members’ capital.

As of and for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, management has determined that there were no material uncertain income tax positions.

(d)Foreign Currency Translation

Our books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

1.Fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities – at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the applicable period; and

2.Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses – at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although Members’ capital and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, we do not isolate that portion of the results of operations due to changes in foreign exchange rates on investments, other assets and debt from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. 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 to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

(e)Consolidation

As explained by ASC paragraph 946-810-45, PSSL will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to us.

(f)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” or ASU 2020-04. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of the reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company utilized the optional expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 during the year ended September 30, 2023, the effect of which was not material to the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions," or ASU 2022-03, which changed the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. The amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements, but the impact of the adoption is not expected to be material.

3. AGREEMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On June 10, 2022, the Company issued a capital call to PFLT totaling $28.4 million consisting of Member notes of $19.9 million and equity interest of $8.5 million. PFLT fulfilled the capital call by contributing $28.0 million of securities and $0.4 million in cash to the Company.

For the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, PSSL purchased $253.6 million and $158.2 million, in investments from PFLT, respectively.

As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, PSSL had a receivable from PFLT of none and and $0.4 million, respectively,

presented as a due from affiliate on the consolidated statements of assets, liabilities and members' equity. These amounts are related to cash owed to PSSL from PFLT in connection with trades between funds. Additionally, PSSL had a receivable from the Administrative Agent of $0.1 million as of September 30, 2024 related to loan agency fees received by the Administrative Agent and owed to PSSL.

For the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, PSSL incurred $2.4 million and $2.1 million of administration fees to the Administrative Agent, respectively. The Administrative Agent provides administration services to PSSL at an annual rate of 0.25% of average gross assets payable quarterly in arrears and calculated based on average gross assets measured at cost at the end of the two recently completed calendar quarters.

For the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, PSSL incurred $34.2 million and $30.3 million of interest expense related to the notes outstanding with the Members, respectively.

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value, as defined under ASC 820, is the price that we would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 emphasizes that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including

15

PENNANTPARK SENIOR SECURED LOAN FUND I LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available to us on the reporting period date.

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

Level 1: Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs that are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or that are quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term, if applicable, of the financial instrument.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable for an asset or liability because they are based on our own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Generally, most of our investments are classified as Level 3. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the price used in an actual transaction may be different than our valuation and those differences may be material.

The inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Even if observable market data is available, such information may be the result of consensus pricing information, disorderly transactions or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence were available. Corroborating evidence that would result in classifying these non-binding broker/dealer bids as a Level 2 asset includes observable market-based transactions for the same or similar assets or other relevant observable market-based inputs that may be used in pricing an asset.

Our investments are generally structured as debt in the form of first lien secured debt, but may also include second lien secured debt, subordinated debt and equity investments. The transaction price, excluding transaction costs, is typically the best estimate of fair value at inception. Ongoing reviews by the Members and independent valuation firms are based on an assessment of each underlying investment, incorporating valuations that consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market-based information including comparable transactions, performance multiples and yields, among other factors. These non-public investments using unobservable inputs are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in our ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities.

In addition to using the above inputs in valuing cash equivalents and investments, we employ the valuation policy approved by our board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with our valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading, in determining fair value. See Note 2.

As outlined in the table below, some of our Level 3 investments using a market comparable valuation technique are valued using the average of the bids from brokers or dealers. The bids include a disclaimer, may not have corroborating evidence, may be the result of a disorderly transaction and may be the result of consensus pricing. The Members assess the source and reliability of bids from brokers or dealers. If the board of directors has a bona fide reason to believe any such market quote does not reflect the fair value of an investment, it may independently value such investments by using the valuation procedure that it uses with respect to assets for which market quotations are not readily available.

Some of our investments can also be valued using a market comparable or an enterprise market value technique. With respect to investments for which there is no readily available market value, the factors that the board of directors may consider in pricing our investments at fair value include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or

16

PENNANTPARK SENIOR SECURED LOAN FUND I LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

subsequent equity sale occurs, the pricing indicated by the external event, excluding transaction costs, is used to corroborate the valuation. When using earnings multiples to value a portfolio company, the multiple used requires the use of judgment and estimates in determining how a market participant would price such an asset. These non-public investments using unobservable inputs are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Generally, the sensitivity of unobservable inputs or combination of inputs such as industry comparable companies, market outlook, consistency, discount rates and reliability of earnings and prospects for growth, or lack thereof, affects the multiple used in pricing an investment. As a result, any change in any one of those factors may have a significant impact on the valuation of an investment. Generally, an increase in a market yield will result in a decrease in the valuation of a debt investment, while a decrease in a market yield will have the opposite effect. Generally, an increase in an EBITDA multiple will result in an increase in the valuation of an investment, while a decrease in an EBITDA will have the opposite effect.

Our Level 3 valuation techniques, unobservable inputs and ranges were categorized as follows for ASC 820 purposes:

Asset Category	Fair value at September 30, 2024		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range of Input (Weighted Average) (1)
First Lien	$	95,950	Market Comparable	Broker/Dealer bids or quotes	N/A
First Lien		787,361	Market Comparable	Market Yield	7.9% – 21.4% (10.2%)
First Lien		23,221	Enterprise Market Value	EBITDA Multiple	0.8x – 8.4x (3.2x)

8.RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Investment risk

PSSL seeks investment opportunities that offer the possibility of attaining income generation, capital preservation and capital appreciation including investments in private companies. Certain events particular to each industry in which PSSL’s investments conduct their operations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may have a significant negative impact on the investee’s operations and profitability. Such events are beyond PSSL’s controls, and the likelihood that they may occur cannot be predicted. Furthermore, investments of PSSL are made in private companies and there are generally no public markets for these securities at the current time. The ability of PSSL to liquidate these investments and realize value is subject to significant limitations and uncertainties.

Leverage Risk

PSSL may borrow funds in order to increase the amount of capital available for investment. The use of leverage can improve the return on invested equity, however, such use may also magnify the potential for loss on invested equity capital. If the value of PSSL’s assets decreases, leveraging would cause Members’ equity to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had PSSL not used leverage. Similarly, any decrease in PSSL’s income would cause Members’ equity to decline more sharply than it would have had PSSL not borrowed. Borrowings will usually be from credit facilities and/or debt securitization which will typically be secured by PSSL’s securities and other assets. Under certain circumstances, such debt may demand an increase in the collateral that secures PSSL’s obligations and if PSSL was unable to provide additional collateral, the debt could liquidate assets held in the account to satisfy PSSL’s obligations. Liquidation in this manner could have adverse consequences. Additionally, the amount of PSSL’s borrowings and the interest rates on those borrowings, which will fluctuate, could have a significant effect on PSSL’s profitability.

Credit Risk

PSSL primarily invests in first lien secured debt to middle-market companies. A majority of the investments held by PSSL are subject to restrictions on their resale or are otherwise illiquid. PSSL assumes the credit risk of the borrower. In the event that the borrower becomes insolvent or enters bankruptcy, PSSL may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment, or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

The Members are responsible for all investment making and business decisions, therefore, there is no requirement to show financial highlights per ASC 946, which have been omitted accordingly.

Credit Facility

The 2036 Asset-Backed Debt is scheduled to mature in April 2036. The 2024 Debt Securitization was executed through a private placement of: (i) $174.0 million Class A-1R Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Notes maturing 2036, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus 1.93%, (ii) $5.0 million Class A-2R Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2036, which bear interest at three month SOFR plus 2.20%, (iii) $25.0 million Class B-R Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2036, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus 2.35%, (iv) $24.0 million Class C-R Secured Deferrable Floating Rate Notes due 2036, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus 3.10%, (v) $18.0 million Class D Secured Deferrable Floating Rate Notes due 2036, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus 4.95%, and (vi) $18.0 million Class E Secured Deferrable Floating Rate Notes due 2036, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus 7.5%, under a credit agreement by and among the Securitization Issuers, as borrowers, various financial institutions, as lenders, and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent and as loan agent.

The Preferred Shares do not bear interest and had a stated value of approximately $36.7 million at the closing of the 2024 Debt Securitization. As part of the 2024 Debt Securitization, there was debt modification resulting in debt issuance costs of $1.0 million included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was also debt extinguishment resulting in realized loss on debt extinguishment in the amount of $0.7 million included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining fees continue to be amortized and are included in amortization of deferred financing costs in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
