(1) Net
asset value per share is determined as of the last day in the relevant quarter and therefore
may not reflect the net asset value per share on the date of the high and low market prices.
The net asset value per share shown is based on outstanding shares at the end of the period.
(2) Calculated
as of the respective high or low closing market price less quarter end net asset value divided
by the quarter end net asset value.

For
all periods presented in the table above, there was no return of capital included in any distribution.
Shares
of business development companies may trade at a market price that is less than the value of the net assets attributable to those shares.
The possibility that our shares of common stock will trade at a discount or premium to net asset value is separate and distinct from
the risk that our net asset value will decrease.
The
last reported closing price of our common stock on December 13, 2024 was $47.90 per share, approximately 60.35% of the Company’s
then-current NAV. As of December 13, 2024 we had 11 stockholders of record of our common stock, which did not include stockholders for
whom shares are held in “nominee” or “street name.”
Sales
of Unregistered Securities
We did not
sell any securities within the past three years that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

Performance Graph
This
graph compares the stockholder return on our common stock from September 30, 2019 to September 30, 2024 with that of the Standard &
Poor’s 500 Stock Index and the Russell 2000 Financial Services Index. This graph assumes that on September 30, 2019, $100 was invested
in our common stock, the S&P 500 Index, and the Russell 2000 Financial Services Index. The graph also assumes the reinvestment of
all cash dividends prior to any tax effect. Investment performance shown for periods prior to January 1, 2021 was achieved pursuant to
our former externally-managed structure.
The
graph and other information furnished under this Part II Item 5 of this annual report on Form 10-K shall not be deemed to be “soliciting
