Determination of Net Asset Value for Outstanding Shares for the month ended May 31, 2023
On June 15, 2023, the board of directors (the “Board”) determined the Company’s net asset value per share for each share class in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation policy, as described under “Determination of Net Asset Value” in this Prospectus. Additionally, pursuant to our share repurchase program, we conduct quarterly share repurchases to allow our shareholders to sell all or a portion of their shares back to us at a price equal to the net asset value per share as of the last date of the month immediately prior to the repurchase date. The repurchase date for our next quarterly repurchase will be June 30, 2023. This table provides the Company’s aggregate net asset value and net asset value per share for its Class FA, Class A, Class T, Class D, Class I, and Class S shares as of May 31, 2023 (in thousands, except per share data):

Public Offering Price Adjustment

For details regarding applicable sales load, please see the “Plan of Distribution” section in the Company’s Prospectus. Class I and Class D shares have no upfront sales load.
For the five month period ended May 31, 2023, sources of declared distributions on a GAAP basis were as follows:

| Five Months Ended May 31, 2023 | ||||||||
| Amount (in 000s) | % of Cash Distributions Net of Distributions Reinvested | |||||||
| Net investment income before expense support (reimbursement) | $ | 7,121 | 104.7 | % | ||||

1 Net investment income includes expense support (reimbursement) due from the Manager and Sub-Manager of $980 for the five months ended May 31, 2023.
2 Consists of distributions made from offering proceeds for the period presented.
3 For the five months ended May 31, 2023, excludes $4,527 of distributions reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 distributions were paid from multiple sources and these sources included net investment income before expense support of 76.3%, 65.2%, 42.3%, 61.7%, and 85.2%, reimbursable expense support of 0.0%, 0.0%, 33.2%, 23.5% and 11.1%, and offering proceeds of 23.7%, 34.8%, 24.5%, 14.8% and 3.7%, respectively. The Company will be required to repay expense support to the Manager and Sub-Manager in future periods which may reduce future income available for distributions, however, as of the date of this Current Report, management believes that reimbursement of all expense support is not probable under the terms of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement. For additional information regarding sources of distributions, please see the annual and quarterly reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
