Material Changes
The primary material change is the increase in the public offering price. This adjustment was made because the company's net asset value per share exceeded the then-current net offering price. The new price applies to subscriptions received between April 27, 2016, and May 3, 2016.
Management Commentary and Outlook
Management determined the price increase was warranted under the company's previously disclosed share pricing policy. Despite the price increase, the company elected to maintain the weekly cash distribution amount, resulting in a slight decrease in the annualized distribution yield percentage relative to the share price.
