It is in honor to be named CEO at this time where the current lending environment favors alternative lenders such as business development companies, and we are well positioned to execute our business strategy in the current market. I want to thank Mike Mauer and am grateful to have him as a partner. Mike will continue to serve as Chairman of ICMB and will become Vice Chairman of the advisor's private credit business. Mike will continue to serve on the investment committee of the advisor to provide his guidance and experience for the next chapter of our business. I look forward to working with Mike and the rest of the team to create shareholder value."

The Company’s dividend framework provides a quarterly base dividend and may be supplemented, at the discretion of the Board, by additional dividends as determined to be available by the Company’s net investment income and performance during the quarter.

On April 12, 2024, the Board declared a distribution for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 of $0.12 per share payable on June 14, 2024 to stockholders of record as of May 26, 2024 and a supplemental distribution of $0.03 per share, payable on June 14, 2024, to stockholders of record as of May 26, 2024.

This distribution represents a 19.29% yield on the Company’s $3.11 share price as of market close on March 28, 2024. Distributions may include net investment income, capital gains and/or return of capital, however, the Company does not expect the dividend for the quarter ending March 31, 2024, to be comprised of a return of capital. The Company’s investment adviser monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a return of capital may occur for the year. The Company estimates the source of its distributions as required by Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to determine whether payment of dividends are expected to be paid from any other source other than net investment income accrued for the current period or certain cumulative periods, but the Company will not be able to determine whether any specific distribution will be treated as taxable earnings or as a return of capital until after at the end of the taxable year.

During the quarter, the Company had net repayments of $3.8 million on its existing delayed draw and revolving credit commitment to portfolio companies.
