On February 22, 2024, the Company and the Manager, entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”), effective upon the listing of the Company’s Common Stock. Following the completion of the Spin-Off on July 9, 2024, the Company is managed by its Board of Directors and the Company’s executive officers and by SUNS Manager, as provided for under our Management Agreement.

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager manages the loans and day-to-day operations of the Company, subject at all times to the further terms and conditions set forth in the Management Agreement and such further limitations or parameters as may be imposed from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Manager receives base management fees (the “Base Management Fees”) that are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, in an amount equal to 0.375% of the Company’s Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement), subject to certain adjustments, less 50% of the aggregate amount of any other fees (“Outside Fees”), including any agency fees relating to the Company’s loans, but excluding the Incentive Compensation (as defined below) and any diligence fees paid to and earned by the Manager and paid by third parties in connection with the Manager’s due diligence of potential loans.

In addition to the Base Management Fees, the Manager is entitled to receive incentive compensation (the “Incentive Compensation” or “Incentive Fees”) with respect to each fiscal quarter (or portion thereof that the Management Agreement is in effect) based upon the Company’s achievement of targeted levels of Core Earnings. “Core Earnings” is defined in the Management Agreement as, for a given period, the net income (loss) for such period, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) Incentive Compensation, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable reporting period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income and (v) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash charges, in each case after discussions between the Manager and the Company’s independent directors and approval by a majority of the independent directors.
