• Portfolio monetizations generated approximately $57 million in cash proceeds, including the sale of the largest outstanding loan position, Prodigy, and a partial Revolut stake sale; management said the transactions improve liquidity, reduce PIK exposure, and enhance financial flexibility.
• Debt fundings rose more than 80% sequentially to $47.8 million across 10 companies, while signed term sheets increased to roughly $307 million and the broader pipeline exceeded $3 billion, supported by strong demand for venture financing and AI-related investments.
• Liquidity increased to approximately $120 million, gross leverage improved modestly to 1.26x, and unfunded commitments fell sharply to $141 million from $207 million; the board also declared a supplemental dividend of $0.12 per share.
• Net investment income declined to $0.21 per share from $0.23 in the prior quarter, primarily because of lower prepayment-related income and higher interest expense following the March refinancing; portfolio yield also decreased to 12.9% from 13.5%.
• The company downgraded Trendly to Yellow 3 and recorded fair-value adjustments on certain loans, including Rollie, indicating some ongoing credit and valuation pressure despite management’s broader portfolio-repositioning efforts.
