Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial results included herein contain all adjustments, consisting solely of normal accruals, considered necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim period included herein. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the year. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 5, 2025.
NOTE 2. ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated under the General Corporation Laws of the State of Maryland (“MGCL”) on July 21, 2003 and is a closed -end investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the 1940 Act. In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) beginning with its 2003 taxable year. The Company’s investment objective is to maximize its total return, by investing primarily in corporate debt securities and, to a lesser extent, CLOs, which are structured finance investments that own corporate debt securities.
The Company’s investment activities are managed by Oxford Square Management, LLC (“Oxford Square Management”). Oxford Square Management is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Oxford Square Management is owned by Oxford Funds, LLC (“Oxford Funds”), its managing member, and Charles M. Royce, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) who holds a minority, non -controlling interest in Oxford Square Management. Under the investment advisory agreement with Oxford Square Management (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Company has agreed to pay Oxford Square Management an annual base investment advisory fee (the “Base Fee”) based on its gross assets as well as an incentive fee based on its performance. For further details, please refer to “Note 7. Related Party Transactions.”

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
CONSOLIDATION
As provided under Regulation S -X and ASC Topic 946 -810 , Consolidation (“ASC 946 -810 ”) , the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly -owned investment company or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company for the periods during which it was held.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits held at custodian banks, and highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, with original maturities of three months or less. The Company places its cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in bank accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 assets and are included on the Company’s schedule of investments. Certain cash equivalents are carried at cost or amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and investments held in money market funds are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
INVESTMENT VALUATION
The Company’s Board of Directors determines the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) and Rule 2a -5 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a -5 ”). Estimates made in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. The Company believes that there is no single definitive method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments the Company makes. The Board of Directors values the Company’s investments for which market quotations are not readily available at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors on at least a quarterly basis. ASC 820 clarified the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three -tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company considers the attributes of current market conditions on an on -going basis and has determined that due to the general illiquidity of the market for its investment portfolio, whereby little or no market data exists, all of the Company’s investments are based upon Level 3 inputs as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The Board of Directors determines the value of its investment portfolio each quarter. In connection with that determination, members of Oxford Square Management’s portfolio management team prepare a quarterly analysis of each portfolio investment using the most recent portfolio company financial statements, forecasts and other relevant financial and operational information. The Company has and may continue to engage third -party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain of its syndicated loans and bilateral investments, including related equity investments, although the Board of Directors ultimately determines the appropriate valuation of each such investment. Changes in fair value, as described above, are recorded in the statements of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Syndicated Loans (Including Senior Secured Notes)
In accordance with ASC 820, the Company’s valuation procedures specifically provide for the review of indicative quotes supplied by the large agent banks that make a market for each security. However, the marketplace from which the Company obtains indicative bid quotes for purposes of determining the fair value of its syndicated loan investments has shown attributes of illiquidity as described by ASC 820. During such periods of illiquidity, when the Company believes that the non -binding indicative bids received from agent banks for certain syndicated loan investments that it owns may not be determinative of their fair value, or when no market indicative quote is available, the Company has and may continue to engage third -party valuation firms to provide assistance in valuing certain syndicated investments that the Company owns. The third -party valuation firms may use the income or market approach in arriving at a valuation. Unobservable inputs utilized could include discount rates derived from estimated credit spreads and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. In addition, Oxford Square Management analyzes each syndicated loan by reviewing the portfolio company’s financial statements, covenant compliance and recent trading activity in the security, if known, and other business developments related to the portfolio company. All available information, including non -binding indicative bids which may not be determinative of fair value, is presented to the Company’s Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) to consider in its determination of fair value. In some instances, there may be limited trading activity in a security even though the market for the security is considered not active. In such cases, the Valuation Committee will consider the number of trades, the size and timing of each trade, and other circumstances around such trades, to the extent such information is available, in its determination of fair value. The Valuation Committee will evaluate the impact of such additional information, and factor it into its consideration of the fair value that is indicated by the analysis provided by third -party valuation firms, if any. When we receive warrants or other equity securities at nominal or no additional cost in connection with a new syndicated loan investment, or due to a restructuring of an existing investment, the cost basis in the new investments will be allocated between the new debt securities and any such warrants or other equity securities received at the time of origination/restructuring. These investments may be subsequently valued using a multitude of methods, including, but not limited to, intrinsic value methods, Black -Scholes models, and Monte Carlo option pricing models. All information is presented to the Board for its determination of fair value of these investments.
Collateralized Loan Obligations — Debt and Equity
The Company has acquired debt and equity positions in CLO investment vehicles and can purchase CLO warehouse facilities. These investments are special purpose financing vehicles. In valuing such investments, the Company considers the indicative prices provided by a recognized industry pricing service as a primary source, and the implied yield of such prices, supplemented by actual trades executed in the market at or around period -end , as well as the indicative prices provided by the broker who arranges transactions in such investment vehicles. The Company also considers those instances in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on or before the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require a downward adjustment to the indicative price representing substantially all of the pending distribution. Additional factors include any available information on other relevant transactions including firm bids and offers in the market and information resulting from bids -wanted-in-competition . In addition, the Company considers the operating metrics of the specific investment vehicle, including compliance with collateralization tests, defaulted and restructured securities, and payment defaults, if any. In periods of illiquidity and volatility, the Company may rely more heavily on other qualities and metrics, including but not limited to, the collateral manager, time left in the reinvestment period, expected cash flows and overcollateralization ratios, instead of the Company’s generated valuation yields. Oxford Square Management or the Valuation Committee may request an additional analysis by a third -party firm to assist in the valuation process of CLO investment vehicles. All information is presented to the Board for its determination of fair value of these investments.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Bilateral Investments (Including Equity)
Bilateral investments (as defined below) for which market quotations are readily available are valued by an independent pricing agent or market maker. If such market quotations are not readily available, under the valuation procedures approved by the Board, upon the recommendation of the Valuation Committee, a third -party valuation firm will prepare valuations for each of the Company’s bilateral investments that, when combined with all other investments in the same portfolio company, have a value as of the previous quarter of greater than or equal to 2.0 % of its total assets as of the previous quarter. In addition, in those instances where a third -party valuation is prepared for a portfolio investment which meets the parameters noted above, the frequency of those third -party valuations is based upon the grade assigned to each such security under its credit grading system as follows: Grade 1, at least annually; Grade 2, at least semi -annually ; Grades 3, 4, and 5, at least quarterly. Bilateral investments which do not meet the parameters above are not required to have a third -party valuation and, in those instances, a valuation analysis will be prepared by Oxford Square Management. All information is presented to the Board for its determination of fair value of these investments.
The term “Bilateral investments” means debt and equity investments directly negotiated between the Company and a portfolio company, but excludes syndicated loans (i.e., corporate loans arranged by an agent on behalf of a company, portions of which are held by multiple investors in addition to OXSQ).
Refer to “Note 4. Fair Value” in the notes to the Company’s financial statements for more information on investment valuation and the Company’s portfolio of investments.
INVESTMENT INCOME
Interest Income
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis using the contractual rate applicable to each debt investment and includes the accretion of market discounts and/or original issue discount (“OID”) and amortization of market premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.
Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non -accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company generally restores non -accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the Company’s judgment, is likely to remain current. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no debt investments that were on non -accrual status. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had one debt investment that was on non -accrual status.
Interest income also includes a payment -in-kind (“PIK”) component on certain investments in the Company’s portfolio. Refer to the section below, “Payment -In-Kind ,” for a description of PIK income and its impact on interest income.
Payment-In-Kind
The Company has debt and preferred stock investments in its portfolio that contain contractual PIK provisions. PIK interest and preferred stock dividends are computed at their contractual rates and are accrued into income and recorded as interest and dividend income, respectively. The PIK amounts are added to the principal balances on the capitalization dates. Upon capitalization, the PIK portions of the investments are valued at their respective fair values. If the Company believes that PIK is not fully expected to be realized, the PIK investment would be placed on non -accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non -accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends would be reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. PIK investments on

non -accrual status are restored to accrual status once it becomes probable that such PIK will be ultimately collectible in cash. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately $ 708,000 of PIK was recognized as interest income and approximately $ 131,000 of PIK was recognized as other income. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately $ 14,000 of PIK was recognized as interest income. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize PIK dividend income on its preferred stock investments.
Income from Securitization Vehicles and Investments
Income from investments in the equity class securities of CLO vehicles (typically income notes or subordinated notes) is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 325 -40 , Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets , based upon estimated cash flows, amounts and timing, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. The Company monitors the expected residual payments, and effective yield is determined and updated periodically, as needed. Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO equity securities in the statements of operations differs from both the tax -basis investment income and from the cash distributions actually received by the Company during the period.
The Company also records income on its investments in CLO warehouse facilities based on a stated rate per the underlying note purchase agreement plus accrued interest or, if there is no stated rate, then an estimated rate is calculated using a base case model projecting the timing of the ramp -up of the CLO warehouse facility. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no income was recognized related to CLO warehouse facilities. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not hold any investments in CLO warehouse facilities.
Other Income
Other income includes prepayment, amendment, and other fees earned by the Company’s loan investments, distributions from fee letters and success fees associated with portfolio investments. Distributions from fee letters are an enhancement to the return on a CLO equity investment and are based upon a percentage of the collateral manager’s fees above the amortized cost, and are recorded as other income when earned. The Company may also earn success fees associated with its investments in certain securitization vehicles or CLO warehouse facilities, which are contingent upon a repayment of the warehouse by a permanent CLO securitization structure; such fees are earned and recognized when the repayment is completed. The Company also earns other income on its cash equivalents balance, which represents cash invested in a money market fund.
Preferred Stock Dividends
The Company holds preferred stock investments in its portfolio that contain cumulative preferred dividends that accumulate quarterly. The Company will generally record cumulative preferred dividends as investment income when they are received or declared by the portfolio company’s board of directors or upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the portfolio company, and are collectible. There were no cumulative preferred dividends recorded as dividend income during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as the Company deemed them to be uncollectible.
DEFERRED DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS
Deferred debt issuance costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the closing or amending of credit facilities and debt offerings, and are capitalized at the time of payment. These costs are amortized using the straight line method over the terms of the respective credit facilities and debt securities. The amortized expenses are included in interest expense in the Company’s financial statements. The unamortized deferred debt issuance costs are included on the Company’s statements of assets and liabilities as a direct deduction from the related debt liability. Upon early termination or partial principal pay down of debt, or a credit facility, the unamortized costs related to such debt are accelerated into realized losses on extinguishment of debt on the Company’s statements of operations.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
EQUITY OFFERING COSTS
Equity offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration and public offer and sale of the Company’s common stock, including legal, accounting and printing fees. These costs are deferred at the time of incurrence and are subsequently charged as a reduction to capital when the offering takes place or as shares are issued. Deferred costs are periodically reviewed and expensed if the related registration is no longer active.
SHARE REPURCHASES
From time to time, the Board may authorize a share repurchase program under which shares are purchased in open market transactions. Since the Company is incorporated in Maryland, MGCL requires share repurchases to be accounted for as a share retirement. The cost of repurchased shares is charged against capital on the settlement date.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of specific identification. An optional redemption (“optionally redeemed”) feature of a CLO allows a majority of the holders of the equity securities issued by the CLO issuer, after the end of a specified non -call period, to cause the redemption of the secured notes issued by the CLO with proceeds paid either through the liquidation of the CLO’s assets or through a refinancing with new debt. The optional redemption is effectively a voluntary prepayment of the secured debt issued by the CLO prior to the stated maturity of such debt. Distributions received on CLO equity investments where the optional redemption feature has been exercised are first applied to the remaining cost basis until it is reduced to zero, after which distributions are recorded as realized gains.
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Company intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and, as such, to not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains timely distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company is required to distribute at least 90 % of its investment company taxable income annually, meet certain source -of-income requirements annually and certain diversification requirements quarterly and file Form 1120 -RIC , as defined by the Code.
Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short -term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Through March 31, 2025, management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in the Company’s 2024 or 2025 tax returns. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Connecticut. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition measurement criteria of ASC 740 -10-25 , Income Taxes , nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company files tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and the state of Connecticut. Generally, each of the tax returns filed in the three -year period ended March 31, 2025 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.
For tax purposes, the cost basis of the portfolio investments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was approximately $ 379,513,985 and $ 393,395,734 , respectively.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024 -03 , “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (“ASU 2024 -03 ”), which requires public business entities to disclose disaggregated expense details in their income statements, including categories such as employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization. The update aims to enhance transparency by requiring tabular disclosures and qualitative descriptions for unspecified amounts. Additionally, entities must report total selling expenses and their definitions annually. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with interim periods following in 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its financial statements.
Other than the aforementioned guidance, the Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Significant Unobservable Inputs for Level 3 Investments
The following tables provide quantitative information about the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company’s Valuation Policy, which was previously approved by the Board, establishes parameters for the sources and types of valuation analysis, as well as the methodologies and inputs that the Company uses in determining fair value. If the Valuation Committee or Oxford Square Management determines that additional techniques, sources or inputs are appropriate or necessary in a given situation, such additional analysis will be undertaken. The tables, therefore, are not all -inclusive , but provide information on the significant Level 3 inputs that are pertinent to the Company’s fair value measurements. The weighted average calculations in the tables below are based on fair values for all debt related calculations and CLO equity.

(1) Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments.
(2) The impact on the fair value measurement of an increase in each unobservable input is in isolation. The discount rate is the rate used to discount future cash flows in a discounted cash flow calculation. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Market Multiples/EBITDA refer to the input (often derived from the value of a comparable company) that is multiplied by the historic and/or expected EBITDA of a company in order to estimate the company’s value. An increase in the Market Multiples/EBITDA, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement.

These bid prices are non -binding and may not be determinative of fair value.

(7) Enterprise value is defined as the total value of a company, including debt and cash. For senior secured notes and equity investments, third -party valuation firms evaluate the financial and operational information of the portfolio companies that the Company provides to them, as well as independent market and industry information that they consider appropriate in forming an opinion as to the fair value of the Company’s securities. In those instances where the carrying value and/or internal credit rating of the investment does not require the use of a third -party valuation firm, a valuation is prepared by Oxford Square Management, which may include liquidation analysis or which may utilize a subsequent transaction to provide an indication of fair value.
(8) EBITDA, or earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, is an unobservable input which is generally based on the most recently available twelve -month financial statements provided by the portfolio company. Market multiples, also an unobservable input, represent an estimation of where market participants might value an enterprise based upon information available for comparable companies in the market. “LTM” refers to “last twelve months.”
(9) The fair value of those CLO equity positions which have been optionally redeemed are generally valued using a liquidation net asset value basis which represents the estimated expected residual value of the CLO as of the end of the period.

(1) Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments.
(2) The impact on the fair value measurement of an increase in each unobservable input is in isolation. The discount rate is the rate used to discount future cash flows in a discounted cash flow calculation. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Market Multiples/EBITDA refer to the input (often derived from the value of a comparable company) that is multiplied by the historic and/or expected EBITDA of a company in order to estimate the company’s value. An increase in the Market Multiples/EBITDA, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement.
(3) The Company generally uses prices provided by an independent pricing service, or broker or agent bank non -binding indicative bid prices (“NBIB”), on or near the valuation date as the primary basis for the fair value determinations for syndicated notes, and CLO debt and equity investments, which may be adjusted for pending equity distributions as of valuation date. These bid prices are non -binding and may not be determinative of fair value.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company pays Oxford Square Management a fee for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of — a base investment advisory fee (the “Base Fee”) based on its gross assets, as described below, and two types of incentive fees. The cost of both the Base Fee and any incentive fees earned by Oxford Square Management are ultimately borne by the Company’s common stockholders.
As described in greater detail under Item 1. Business — Investment Advisory Agreement — Advisory Fee in its Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company first calculates the Base Fee and any incentive fee under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, then calculates the Base Fee and any incentive fee under the terms of the fee waiver letter unilaterally adopted by Oxford Square Management, effective April 1, 2016 (the “2016 Fee Waiver”), and, finally, adopts the lower of two combined results as the total fees payable to Oxford Square Management.
Base Fee
The Base Fee is payable quarterly in arrears, calculated based on a percentage of the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately prorated for any partial quarter. Accordingly, the Base Fee will be payable regardless of whether the value of the Company’s gross assets has decreased during the quarter.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Base Fee is calculated at an annual rate of 2.00 %, and appropriately adjusted for any equity or debt capital raises, repurchases, or redemptions during the current calendar quarter.
Under the terms of the 2016 Fee Waiver, for the purpose of calculating the amount of total advisory fees (if any) to be waived during a particular calendar quarter, the Base Fee (as a portion of the total calculation) is calculated at an annual rate of 1.50 %, and adjusted pro rata for any share issuances, debt issuances, repurchases or redemptions during the current calendar quarter; provided, however, that no Base Fee is payable on the cash proceeds received by the Company in connection with any share or debt issuances until such proceeds have been invested in accordance with the Company’s investment objectives.
The following table represents the portion of the total advisory fee ascribed to the Base Fee (pursuant to the 2016 Fee Waiver calculation) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)
Incentive Fee
The incentive fees are commonly referred to as the “Income Incentive Fee” and the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee,” with the first fee payable quarterly in arrears and the second fee payable in arrears at the end of each calendar year.
Net Investment Income Incentive Fee
The first fee (the “Net Investment Income Incentive Fee”), is determined by reference to the Company’s “Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” (as defined below). Given that this incentive fee is payable without regard to any gain, loss or unrealized depreciation that may occur during the quarter, Oxford Square Management’s incentive fee may be payable notwithstanding a decline in net asset value that quarter.
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is calculated based on the Company’s “Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding calendar quarter.
• For this purpose, “Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Fee, expenses payable under the administration agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
• Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to one -fourth of an annual “hurdle rate.” The annual hurdle rate is determined as of the immediately preceding December 31 st by adding 5.0 % to the interest rate then payable on the most recently issued five -year U.S. Treasury Notes, up to a maximum annual hurdle rate of 10.0 %. The annual hurdle rates for the 2025 and 2024 calendar years, calculated as of the immediately preceding December 31 st , were 9.38 % and 8.84 % respectively, under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Company’s net investment income (to the extent not distributed to stockholders) used to calculate the Net Investment Income Incentive Fee was also included in the amount of gross assets used to calculate the 2 % Base Fee.
a. The operation of the incentive fee with respect to the Company’s Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for each quarter is as follows:
i. no incentive fee is payable to Oxford Square Management in any calendar quarter in which the Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed one fourth of the annual hurdle rate ( 9.38 % for the 2025 calendar year).
ii. 20 % of the amount of the Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds one -fourth of the annual hurdle rate ( 9.38 % for the 2025 calendar year) in any calendar quarter is payable to Oxford Square Management (i.e., once the hurdle rate is reached, 20 % of all Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter will be allocated to Oxford Square Management).

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)
Under the terms of the 2016 Fee Waiver, for the purpose of calculating the amount of total advisory fees (if any) to be waived during a particular calendar quarter, the Income Incentive Fee (as a portion of the total calculation) is calculated based on the amount by which (x) the “Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” (as defined below) for the calendar quarter exceeds (y) the “Preferred Return Amount” (as defined below) for the calendar quarter.
a. A “Preferred Return Amount” is calculated on a quarterly basis by multiplying 1.75 % by the Company’s net asset value at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter.
b. The Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is then calculated as follows:
(a) no Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is payable to Oxford Square Management in any calendar quarter in which the “Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” does not exceed the “Preferred Return Amount”;
(b) 100 % of the “Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for such quarter, if any, that exceeds the “Preferred Return Amount” but is less than or equal to a “Catch -Up Amount” determined on a quarterly basis by multiplying 2.1875 % by OXSQ’s net asset value at the end of such calendar quarter; and
(c) for any quarter in which the “Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” exceeds the “Catch -Up Amount,” the Net Investment Income Incentive Fee will be 20 % of the amount of the “Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for such quarter.
c. There is no accumulation of amounts from quarter to quarter for the “Preferred Return Amount,” and accordingly there is no claw back of amounts previously paid to Oxford Square Management if the “Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for subsequent quarters is below the quarterly “Preferred Return Amount,” and there is no delay of payment of incentive fees to Oxford Square Management if the “Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for prior quarters is below the quarterly “Preferred Return Amount” for the quarter for which the calculation is being made.
d. The calculation of the Company’s Net Investment Income Incentive Fee is subject to a total return requirement that provides that a Net Investment Income Incentive Fee will not be payable to Oxford Square Management except to the extent 20 % of the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” (which is the amount, if positive, of the sum of the “Pre -Incentive Fee Net Investment Income,” realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation) during the calendar quarter for which such fees are being calculated and the eleven (11) preceding quarters exceeds the cumulative Net Investment Income Incentive Fees accrued and/or paid for such eleven (11) preceding quarters.
In the event that the advisory fee calculations under the 2016 Fee Waiver produce a higher combined Base Fee and Net Investment Income Incentive Fee for any quarterly period, the combined fees are set to the original (lower) level, calculated pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. In the event that advisory fee calculations under the 2016 Fee Wavier produce a lower combined Base Fee and Net Investment Income Incentive Fee for that quarterly period, those lower combined fees are adopted for that quarterly period. In either case, the lower level of combined fees is used for that quarter, and, accordingly, the advisory fee payable to Oxford Square Management can only be reduced, and never increased, as a result of the 2016 Fee Waiver.

There was no Net Investment Income Incentive Fee payable to Oxford Square Management as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee
The Capital Gains Incentive Fee, which is calculated identically under the Investment Advisory Agreement and under the 2016 Fee Waiver, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 20 % of the Company’s “Incentive Fee Capital Gains,” which consists of its realized capital gains for each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation for that calendar year. For accounting purposes only, in order to reflect the theoretical Capital Gains Incentive Fee that would be payable for a given period as if all unrealized gains were realized, the Company will accrue a Capital Gains Incentive Fee based upon net realized gains and unrealized depreciation for that calendar year (in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement), plus unrealized appreciation on investments held at the end of the period. It should be noted that a fee so calculated and accrued would not necessarily be payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of Capital Gains Incentive Fees in subsequent periods. Amounts paid under the Investment Advisory Agreement will be consistent with the formula reflected in the Investment Advisory Agreement.
The amount of Capital Gains Incentive Fee expense related to the hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to Oxford Square Management in the event of a complete liquidation of the Company’s portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement on such date. Also, it should be noted that the Capital Gains Incentive Fee expense fluctuates with the Company’s overall investment results.
There were no Capital Gains Incentive Fees based on hypothetical liquidation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. There were no accrued Capital Gains Incentive Fees payable to Oxford Square Management as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Administration Agreement
The Company has also entered into the Administration Agreement with Oxford Funds under which Oxford Funds provides administrative services for the Company. The Company pays Oxford Funds an allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Oxford Funds on its behalf under the Administration Agreement, including a portion of the rent and the compensation of the Chief Financial Officer, accounting staff and other administrative support personnel, which creates potential conflicts of interest that the Board must monitor. The Company also reimburses Oxford Funds for the costs associated with the functions performed by the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer that Oxford Funds pays on the Company’s behalf pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the Company and ACA Group, LLC.

Co-Investment Exemptive Relief
On June 14, 2017, the SEC issued an order permitting the Company and certain of its affiliates to complete negotiated co -investment transactions in portfolio companies, subject to certain conditions (the “Order”).

NOTE 9. DISTRIBUTIONS
The Company intends to continue to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under the Code and, as such, the Company would not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify to be taxed as a RIC, the Company is required, among other requirements, to distribute at least 90 % of its annual investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. The amount to be paid out as a distribution each quarter is determined by the Board and is based upon the annual taxable income estimated by the management of the Company. Income calculated in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations differs substantially from GAAP income. To the extent that the Company’s cumulative undistributed taxable earnings fall below the amount of distributions declared, however, a portion of the total amount of the Company’s distributions for the fiscal year may be deemed a return of capital for tax purposes to the Company’s stockholders.
The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code pertaining to RICs to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it of substantially all federal income taxes. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4 % excise tax on such income. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income, if any, as required. The Company has accrued approximately $ 604,000 of estimated excise tax payable for estimated excise tax on undistributed taxable income. This amount is included in “Accrued Expenses” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Company has adopted an “opt out” distribution reinvestment plan for its common stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, then stockholders’ cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of its common stock, unless they specifically “opt out” of the distribution reinvestment plan so as to receive cash distributions. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued 87,090 and 47,743 shares, respectively, of common stock for approximately $ 223,000 and $ 139,000 , respectively, to stockholders in connection with the distribution reinvestment plan. On each of January 31 and February 28, 2025, the Company paid monthly distributions of approximately $ 2.4 million, or $ 0.035 per share. On March 31, 2025, the Company paid monthly distributions of approximately $ 2.5 million, or $ 0.035 per share.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the Company is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre -enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre -enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post -enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short -term or long -term losses rather than being considered all short -term as under previous law.
The tax character of distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, represented, on an estimated basis, $ 0.105 per share from ordinary income. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates (based on an average of the reported tax character historically) and are not being provided for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes. The timing and character of distributions for U.S. federal income tax purposes (which are determined in accordance with the U.S. federal tax rules which may differ from GAAP) may be materially different than the historical information the Company used in providing the estimates herein. The ultimate tax character of distributions during 2025 and 2024 is unknown until the Company’s tax returns are filed, and the amounts represented may be materially different from the amounts disclosed in the final Form 1099 -DIV notices. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Company’s investment performance and may be subject to change based on tax regulations.
NOTE 10. NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE
The Company’s net asset value per share as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was $ 2.09 and $ 2.30 , respectively. In determining the Company’s net asset value per share, the Board determined in good faith the fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available.

NOTE 11. SHARE ISSUANCE AND REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
On August 22, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Equity Distribution Agreement dated August 1, 2019 with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. through which the Company may offer for sale, from time to time, up to $ 150.0 million of the Company’s common stock through an At -the-Market (“ATM”) offering. On August 16, 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated equity distribution agreement (the “Amended and Restated Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Lucid Capital Markets, LLC and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., as the sales agents, to add Lucid Capital Markets, LLC as an additional sales agent to the Amended and Restated Equity Distribution Agreement. The Company sold a total of 1,341,138 shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM offering during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The total amount of capital raised net of underwriting fees and offering costs was approximately $ 3.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
From time to time, the Board may authorize a share repurchase program under which shares are purchased in open market transactions. Since the Company is incorporated in Maryland, MGCL requires share repurchases to be accounted for as a share retirement. The cost of repurchased shares is charged against capital on the settlement date. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was not authorized to repurchase any shares of outstanding common stock.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into a variety of undertakings containing a variety of warranties and indemnifications that may expose the Company to some risk of loss. The risk of future loss arising from such undertakings, while not quantifiable, is expected to be remote. As of March 31, 2025, the Company did not have any commitments to purchase additional debt investments.
The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings, if any, cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon its results of operations and financial condition.

NOTE 15. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates as a single operating and reporting segment and its primary business objective is to maximize its investment portfolio’s total return. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is a combination of the Company’s chief executive officer and president. The CODM evaluates performance through the Company’s net asset value, net investment income and net increase/decrease in net assets resulting from operations. These performance measures also aid the CODM in providing information to the Board of Directors for the process of determining the amount of distributions to be distributed to the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying statements of operations.
NOTE 16. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company may be materially adversely affected by market conditions. Government spending, government policies, changes in interest rates, disruptions in supply chains in the United States and elsewhere and uncertainty between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, treaties and tariffs, in conjunction with other factors, have led and could continue to lead to inflationary economic environments that could affect the Company’s portfolio companies, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has exposure to interest rate risks to the extent prevailing interest rates change and it could negatively affect the fair value of the Company’s investments. If interest rates continue to rise in response to inflation, the value, volatility and liquidity of income paying investments could be adversely affected. Market volatility, dramatic change to interest rates and/or unfavorable economic conditions may lower performance or impair the Company’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The occurrence of any of the above events could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Company’s investments.

NOTE 16. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (cont.)
Although it is difficult to predict the extent of the impact of economic disruptions on the Company’s portfolio companies and underlying CLO vehicles the Company invests in, the failure by a portfolio company or CLO vehicle to satisfy certain financial covenants, including with respect to adequate collateralization and/or interest coverage tests, could lead to a reduction in its payments to us. In the event that a CLO vehicle fails certain tests, holders of debt senior to us may be entitled to additional payments that would, in turn, reduce the payments we would otherwise be entitled to receive. A portfolio company’s failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by the Company or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, termination of the portfolio company’s loans and foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger cross -defaults under other agreements and jeopardize the portfolio company’s ability to meet its obligations under the debt securities that the Company holds.
Separately, the Company may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company, CLO vehicle or any other investment we may make. In addition, if a portfolio company goes bankrupt, even though the Company may have structured its investment as senior debt or secured debt, depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which the Company actually provided significant managerial assistance, if any, to that portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might re -characterize the Company’s debt holding and subordinate all or a portion of the Company’s claim to that of other creditors. If any of these occur, it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s operating results and cash flows.
The Company places its cash in an overnight money market fund and, at times, cash and cash equivalents may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. In addition, the Company’s portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of portfolio companies, which will subject the Company to a risk of significant loss if any of these companies defaults on its obligations under any of its debt securities that the Company holds or if those sectors experience a market downturn.
Various social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, and resulting market volatility, could also adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results, and financial condition. The extent and duration or escalation of such conflicts, resulting sanctions and resulting future market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be significant. Any disruptions resulting from such conflicts and any future conflict (including cyberattacks, espionage or the use or threatened use of nuclear weapons) or resulting from actual or threatened responses to such actions could cause disruptions to any of the Company’s portfolio companies located in Europe or the Middle East or that have substantial business relationships with companies in affected regions. It is not possible to predict the duration or extent of longer -term consequences of these conflicts, which could include further sanctions, retaliatory and escalating measures, embargoes, regional instability, geopolitical shifts and adverse effects on or involving macroeconomic conditions, the energy sector, supply chains, inflation, security conditions, currency exchange rates and financial markets around the globe. Any such market disruptions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. These market and economic disruptions could also negatively impact the operating results of the Company’s portfolio companies.
