____________(1)
Represents per share net investment income for the period, based
upon weighted average shares outstanding.(2) Net realized and
unrealized gains include rounding adjustments to reconcile change
in net asset value per share.(3) During the first quarter of
2015, the Company identified a non-material error in its accounting
for income from CLO equity investments. Prospectively as of January
1, 2015, the Company records income from its CLO equity investments
using the effective yield method in accordance with the accounting
guidance in ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized
Financial Assets, based upon an estimation of an effective yield to
maturity utilizing assumed cash flows. An out-of-period adjustment
to Net Investment Income Incentive Fees, in the amount of $2.4
million, or $0.04 per share, is reflected in the year ended
December 31, 2015. Prior period amounts are not materially
affected. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company
recorded an out of period adjustment related to a miscalculation of
discount accretion which increased interest income and increased
investment cost, by approximately $1.4 million. For the year ended
December 31, 2015, approximately $1.1 million, or $0.02 per share,
of the adjustment related to prior years. The increase in the
investment cost has a corresponding effect on the investment’s
unrealized depreciation of the same amount. Management concluded
the adjustment was not material to previously filed financial
statements.(4) Management monitors available taxable earnings,
including net investment income and realized capital gains, to
determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. To the
extent the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount
of the Company’s distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of
those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the
Company’s stockholders. The ultimate tax character of the Company’s
earnings cannot be determined until tax returns are prepared after
the end of the fiscal year.(5) Total return based on market
value equals the increase or decrease of ending market value over
beginning market value, plus distributions, divided by the
beginning market value per share, assuming distribution
reinvestment prices obtained under the Company’s distribution
reinvestment plan, excluding any discounts.(6) Total return
based on net asset value equals the increase or decrease of ending
net asset value over beginning net asset value, plus distributions,
divided by the beginning net asset value.(7) Portfolio
turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of the annual cash
investment sales and debt repayments or annual cash investment
purchases over the average of the total investments at fair
value.(8) The following table provides supplemental
performance ratios measured for the years ended December 31, 2019,
2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015:
