Forward Guidance

The Board of Directors has approved a dividend policy for 2023 that balances near term distribution of excess spillover income with continued investment in building the portfolio.

Positive Outlook

  • Supplemental dividend based on the existing formula of paying out 100% of the surplus in adjusted net investment income over the base dividend from the prior quarter
  • Special cash dividend of $0.10 per share
  • Early January 2023, the Board plans to announce a deemed distribution to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2022.
