Third Quarter 2015 Results

Total investment income during the third quarter of 2015 was $30.8 million, compared to total investment income of $24.9 million for the third quarter of 2014, representing an increase of 24.0%. The increase in investment income was primarily attributable to an increase in portfolio debt investments from September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2015, a $2.3 million increase in non-recurring fee income and $0.7 million of non-recurring interest income relating to a debt investment that was previously on non-accrual. This increase was partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in non-recurring dividend income and a decrease in the weighted average yield on the Company’s debt investments from September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2015.

Net investment income during the third quarter of 2015 was $18.5 million, compared to net investment income of $15.4 million for the third quarter of 2014, representing an increase of 20.1%. Net investment income per share during the third





quarter of 2015 was $0.56, based on weighted average shares outstanding during the quarter of 33.3 million, compared to $0.51 per share during the third quarter of 2014, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 30.4 million.

The Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $17.9 million during the third quarter of 2015, compared to an $8.8 million decrease during the third quarter of 2014. The Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.54 per share during the third quarter of 2015, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 33.3 million, compared to a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $0.29 per share during the third quarter of 2014, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 30.4 million.

The Company’s net asset value, or NAV, at September 30, 2015, was $15.48 per share as compared to $15.47 per share at June 30, 2015, and $16.11 per share at December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s weighted average yield on its outstanding, currently yielding debt investments was approximately 12.3%.
