[1] Investment fair value was determined using significant unobservable inputs, unless otherwise noted. See Note C — Fair Value Hierarchy for Investments — Portfolio Composition for further discussion. Negative fair value is the result of the capitalized discount on the loan or the unfunded commitment being valued below par.
[2] All investments are Lower Middle Market portfolio investments, unless otherwise noted. See Note C — Fair Value Hierarchy for Investments — Portfolio Composition for a description of Lower Middle Market portfolio investments. All of the Company’s investments, unless otherwise noted, are encumbered either as security for the Company’s Corporate Facility or SPV Facility (each as defined in Note B.5. — Deferred Financing Costs, and together the “Credit Facilities”) or in support of the SBA-guaranteed debentures issued by the Funds.
