+Added: Total expenses, net of any non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable credits from the Adviser, decreased $8.8 million, or 26.1%, during the six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in incentive fees, partially offset by a decrease in fee credits from the Adviser and an increase in interest expense, other expense, and base management fee.
+Added: In accordance with GAAP, we recorded a $2.2 million reversal of previously accrued capital gains-based incentive fee during the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a $9.9 million capital gains-based incentive fee recorded during the six months ended September 30, 2023.

+Added: The income-based incentive fee decreased by $3.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in net assets, which drives the hurdle rate, and a decrease in pre-incentive fee net investment income.
