When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the fact that the unobservable factors are significant to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 financial instruments typically have both unobservable or Level 3 components and observable components (i.e. components that are actively quoted and can be validated by external sources). Accordingly, the appreciation (depreciation) in the tables below includes changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology. Transfers between levels are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period.
The principal values of the credit facilities payable approximate fair value due to their variable interest rates and are included in Level 3 of the hierarchy. The Adviser used market quotes as of the valuation date to estimate the fair value of the Company’s 8.400% notes due 2028, 6.500% notes due 2029 and 6.190% notes due 2030, which are included in Level 2 of the hierarchy.
The following table provides a roll-forward of the changes in fair value from September 30, 2025 to December 31, 2025 for all investments for which the Adviser determined fair value using unobservable (Level 3) factors:

(a) Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments.
(b) Used when a market participant would take into account market yield when pricing the investment.
(c) Used when there is an observable transaction or pending event for the investment.
(d) Used when a market participant would use such multiple when pricing the investment.
(e) The Adviser generally uses prices provided by an independent pricing service which are non-binding indicative prices on or near the
valuation date as the primary basis for the fair value determinations for quoted senior secured debt investments. Since these prices are nonbinding, they may not be indicative of fair value. The Adviser evaluates the quotations provided by pricing vendors and brokers based on available market information, including trading activity of the subject or similar securities, or by performing a comparable security analysis to ensure that fair values are reasonably estimated.
(f) Since September 30, 2025, the valuation technique for two subordinated debt investments changed from Market Yield to Enterprise Value. There have been no other changes in techniques utilized to value Level III investments that resulted in a material impact to the financial statements.

Under the market yield technique, the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in debt securities is the market yield. Increases or decreases in the market yield may result in a lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively.
Under the EV technique, the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in debt or equity securities is the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), revenue or asset multiple, as applicable. Increases or decreases in the valuation multiples in isolation may result in a higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively.
