The annualized total cash distribution is $0.38160 per share (8.14% annualized percentage rate based on the net asset value as of June 30, 2024), for a distribution with record date of August 30, 2024 and payment date of September 9, 2024 based on the June 30, 2024 net asset value of $4.69. This is an increase from the prior annualized distribution percentage rate of 7.5% based on net asset value as of March 31, 2024.
