On November 16, 2021, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement, as amended and restated on August 29, 2022 (the “2021 Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., as sales agents and/or principal thereunder. Under the 2021 Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company was permitted to issue and sell, from time to time, up to $50,000,000 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.

On August 11, 2023, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “2023 Equity Distribution Agreement” and together with the 2021 Equity Distribution Agreement, the “Equity Distribution Agreements”) with Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., as sales agents and/or principal thereunder.

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. Upon execution of the 2023 Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company no longer sold any shares under the 2021 Equity Distribution Agreement. The Company refers to its issuance and sale of shares under the Equity Distribution Agreements as the “ATM Program”.

The Company issued 3,355,476 shares during the year ended December 31, 2024 under the ATM Program, for gross proceeds of $46,494,756 and underwriting fees and other expenses of $1,133,554. The average per share offering price of shares issued in the ATM Program during 2024 was $13.86.

The average per share offering price of shares issued in the ATM Program during 2023 was $14.10. The Advisor agreed to reimburse the Company for underwriting fees and expenses incurred in connection with the ATM Program to the extent the per share price of the shares to the public, less underwriting fees, was less than the then-current net asset value per share. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Advisor reimbursed the Company $0 and $477,088, respectively, of these underwriting fees and expenses, which resulted in net proceeds of $45,361,200, or $13.65 per share and $62,157,488, or $14.00 per share, respectively, excluding the impact of offering expenses.
