Under the 2023 Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, up to $100,000,000 in aggregate offering price of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, with the intention to use the net proceeds from this at-the-market sales program to repay certain outstanding indebtedness and make investments in portfolio companies in accordance with its investment objective and strategies.
