Material Changes and Debt Structure
The Add-On Notes are fungible with the $600 million of Existing Notes issued on November 20, 2024, creating a combined series of $700 million in 6.125% Notes due 2030. The Notes are general unsecured obligations that rank:

- Pari passu with all existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness.
- Effectively junior to secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of securing assets.
- Structurally junior to all indebtedness incurred by subsidiaries or financing vehicles.
Management Commentary, Risks, and Covenants
The Indenture includes covenants requiring compliance with asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940. A "change of control repurchase event" generally requires the Company to offer to purchase the Notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The filing incorporates by reference the full text of the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture for complete terms and limitations.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Confirm the Company's current asset coverage ratio to ensure compliance with Investment Company Act covenants.
- Review the specific allocation of the $98.3 million net proceeds to determine if immediate debt repayment occurred.
