Palmer Square Capital BDC Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization

Organization

Palmer Square Capital BDC Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial services company that primarily lends to and invests in corporate debt securities of companies, including small to large private U.S. companies. The Company was organized as a Maryland corporation on August 26, 2019 and is structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Beginning with its taxable year ending December 31, 2020, the Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and expects to qualify as a RIC each year thereafter. The Company commenced operations on January 23, 2020. Palmer Square BDC Funding I, LLC (“PS BDC Funding”) was formed on January 21, 2020 and entered into a senior, secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA N.A.”) Palmer Square BDC Funding II LLC (“PS BDC Funding II”) was formed on September 8, 2020 and entered into a senior, secured credit facility with Wells Fargo, National Association (“WFB”).

The Company’s investment objective is to maximize total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Company’s current investment focus is guided by two strategies that facilitate its investment opportunities and core competencies: (1) investing in corporate debt securities and, to a lesser extent, (2) investing in collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) structured credit funds that typically own corporate debt securities, including the equity and junior debt tranches of CLOs. To a limited extent, the Company may enter into derivatives transactions, which may utilize instruments such as forward contracts, currency options and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of the Company’s portfolio positions from changes in currency exchange rates and market interest rates or to earn income and enhance the Company’s total returns. The Company may receive or purchase warrants or rights to acquire equity or other securities in connection with making a debt investment in a company. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not invest in any derivative contracts.

The Company is externally managed by Palmer Square BDC Advisor LLC (the “Investment Advisor”), an investment adviser that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Investment Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Investment Advisor is a majority-owned subsidiary of Palmer Square Capital Management LLC (“PSCM”) and an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Investment Advisor, in its capacity as administrator (the “Administrator”), provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate pursuant to an administration agreement between the Company and the Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”). The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

The Company has four wholly-owned subsidiaries: PS BDC Funding, a special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary established for utilizing the Company’s revolving credit facility with BofA N.A.; PS BDC Funding II, a special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary established for utilizing the Company’s credit facility with WFB; Palmer Square BDC CLO 1, Ltd., a special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary established to be the Issuer in connection with the CLO Transaction (as defined below); and Palmer Square BDC CLO 1, LLC a special purpose indirect wholly-owned subsidiary established to be the Co-Issuer in connection with the CLO Transaction. These subsidiaries are consolidated in the financial statements of the Company.

On January 22, 2024, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), issuing 5,450,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, at a public offering price of $16.45 per share. The Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PSBD” on January 18, 2024.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Company is an investment company and applies specific accounting and financial reporting requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies. The Company’s functional currency is U.S. dollars (“USD”) and these consolidated financial statements have been prepared in that currency. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to Regulation S-X.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Company expects any risk of loss to be remote.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash is comprised of cash on deposit with major financial institutions. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure.

Debt Issuance Costs

The Company records origination and other expenses related to its debt obligations as deferred financing costs. These expenses are deferred and amortized over the life of the related debt instrument. Debt issuance costs are presented on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as a direct deduction from the debt liability. In circumstances in which there is not an associated debt liability amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements when the debt issuance costs are incurred, such debt issuance costs will be reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as an asset until the debt liability is recorded. As of June 30, 2025, the balance of debt issuance costs was $(0.3) million, representing deferred financing costs of $6.3 million less accrued interest of $6.6 million, included in BoA Credit Facility, WF Credit Facility and CLO Transaction (each as defined below), and is presented on a net basis of $461.1 million for the BoA and WF Credit Facilities and $302.2 million for the CLO Transaction on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2024, the balance of debt issuance costs was $(1.1) million, representing deferred financing costs of $7.1 million less accrued interest of $8.2 million, included in BoA Credit Facility, WF Credit Facility, and CLO Transaction (each as defined below), and is presented on a net basis of $501.7 million for the BoA Credit Facility and WF Credit Facility and $302.5 million for the CLO Transaction on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends.

To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income” for that year, which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long-term capital losses. In order for the Company not to be subject to U.S. federal excise taxes, it must distribute annually an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one year period ending October 31 in such calendar year and (iii) any net ordinary income and capital gains in excess of capital losses for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which the Company paid no federal income tax. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on this income.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

Basis of Consolidation

As provided under ASC 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a substantially wholly owned investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of the Company’s wholly owned investment company subsidiaries (PS BDC Funding, PS BDC Funding II, Palmer Square BDC CLO 1, Ltd., and Palmer Square BDC CLO 1, LLC) in its consolidated financial statements.

Interest and Dividend Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest income over the contractual life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees, paydown gains/losses and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income in the current period.

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities and money market funds is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.

Non-Accrual Status

Management reviews all loans that have principal or interest that is 90 days past due, or when there is reasonable doubt as to the collection of principal or interest to determine if a loan will be placed on non-accrual status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued interest and unpaid interest is generally reversed, and any discount (market or original) is no longer accreted to interest income. Interest payments received while a loan is on non-accrual status may be applied to principal or recognized as income, as determined by management’s judgment regarding collectability.

A loan may be taken off non-accrual status if past due payments are made, and if management determines the issuer is likely to remain current on future payments. Management may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value or is in the process of collection. Management may also leave a loan on accrual status while actively seeking recovery of past due payment. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had one loan on non-accrual status. As of June 30, 2025, loans on non-accrual status represented 0.19% of the total investments at fair value (or 0.27% at amortized cost). As of December 31, 2024, the Company had two loans on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2024, loans on non-accrual status represented 0.08% of the total investments at fair value (or 0.46% at amortized cost).

Other Income

From time to time, the Company may receive fees for services provided to portfolio companies. These fees are generally only available to the Company as a result of closing investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that the Investment Advisor provides vary by investment, but can include closing, work, diligence or other similar fees and fees for providing managerial assistance to the Company’s portfolio companies. In addition, the Company may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees and possibly consulting and performance-based fees.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions

Administration Agreement

The Company has entered into the Administration Agreement with the Administrator. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes office facilities and equipment and provides clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, recordkeeping and other administrative services at such facilities. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or oversees the performance of, required administrative services, which include being responsible for the financial and other records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to stockholders and reports and other materials filed with the SEC. In addition, the Administrator assists the Company in determining and publishing the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”), overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports and other materials to stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also provides managerial assistance on the Company’s behalf to those portfolio companies that have accepted the offer to provide such assistance.

Under the Administration Agreement, the Company reimburses the Administrator based upon its allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead (including rent) in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and the Company’s allocable portion of the cost of its officers (including the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer), and any of their respective staff who provide services to the Company, operations staff who provide services to the Company, and internal audit staff, if any, to the extent internal audit performs a role in the Company’s Sarbanes-Oxley internal control assessment. In addition, if requested to provide managerial assistance to portfolio companies, the Administrator is reimbursed based on the services provided. The Administration Agreement has an initial term of two years and may be renewed with the approval of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). The agreement was renewed during the year for an additional one-year period. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party. To the extent that the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Company pays the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without any incremental profit to the Administrator.

In addition, the Administrator has, pursuant to a sub-administration agreement, engaged U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC to act on behalf of the Company’s Administrator in the performance of certain other administrative services. The Company has also engaged Equiniti Trust Company, LLC or its affiliates (“Equiniti”) directly to serve as transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent and has engaged U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) or its affiliates directly to serve as custodian. Prior to the Company’s engagement of Equiniti upon the closing of the IPO, U.S. Bank served as the Company’s transfer agent, distribution paying agent and registrar.

Investment Advisory Agreement

The Investment Advisor serves as the investment adviser of the Company and is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Investment Advisor’s primary business is to provide a variety of investment management services, including an investment program for the Company. The Investment Advisor is responsible for all business activities and oversight of the investment decisions made for the Company.

Subsequent to the IPO, in return for providing management services to the Company, the Company pays the Investment Advisor a base management fee, calculated and paid quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.75% of the average value of the weighted average (based on the number of shares outstanding each day in the quarter) of the Company’s total net assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The base management fee for any partial quarter will be pro-rated based on the number of days actually elapsed in that quarter relative to the total number of days in such quarter.

Prior to the IPO, the base management fee was 2.00% of the average value of the weighted average (based on the number of shares outstanding each day in the quarter) of the Company’s total net assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The Investment Advisor, however, during any period prior to the IPO, agreed to waive its right to receive management fees in excess of an annual rate of 1.75% of the average value of the weighted average total net assets at the end of each of our two most recently completed calendar quarters. The Investment Advisor will not be permitted to recoup any base management fees waived for any period of time prior to the IPO.

Additionally, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Investment Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee prior to the IPO because the Advisory Agreement provides that no incentive fee is payable prior to the listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange. Effective upon completion of the IPO, the Investment Advisor is entitled to an incentive fee (the “Income Incentive Fee”) based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the then most recently completed calendar quarter, as adjusted downward (but not upward) if over the most recently completed and eleven preceding calendar quarters since the IPO (or if shorter, the number of calendar quarters since the IPO) (each such period is referred to herein as the “Trailing Twelve Quarters”) aggregate net realized losses on the Company’s investments exceed the Company’s aggregate net investment income over the same period, excluding the most recently completed quarter, as described in more detail below. In this regard, if the Company’s net realized losses over the Trailing Twelve Quarters since the IPO (or if shorter, the number of calendar quarters since the IPO) are greater than the Company’s net investment income over the same period, excluding the most recently completed quarter, then the pre-incentive fee net income used in the calculation of the Income Incentive Fee would be subject to a downward adjustment. The amount of the adjustment would be equal to the amount by which such net realized losses exceed such net investment income. On the other hand, if the Company’s net investment income over the Trailing Twelve Quarters since the IPO (or if shorter, the number of calendar quarters since the IPO) is equal to or greater than the Company’s net realized losses over the same period, excluding the most recently completed quarter, then no adjustment to pre-incentive fee net investment income would be made. The Income Incentive Fee will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears commencing with the first calendar quarter following the IPO. The Company will pay the Investment Advisor an Income Incentive Fee with respect to its “adjusted net investment income” in each calendar quarter as follows:

  • no Income Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s “adjusted net investment income” does not exceed an amount equal to a “hurdle rate” of 1.5% per quarter (6% annualized) of the Company’s total net assets at the end of that quarter (the “Hurdle Amount”);
  • 100% of the Company’s “adjusted net investment income” with respect to that portion of such “adjusted net investment income,” if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Amount but is less than or equal to an amount (the “Catch-Up Amount”) determined on a quarterly basis by multiplying 1.7142% by the Company’s total NAV for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The Catch-Up Amount is intended to provide the Investment Advisor with an incentive fee of 12.5% on all of the Company’s “adjusted net investment income” when the Company’s “adjusted net investment income” reaches the Catch-Up Amount in any calendar quarter; and
  • for any calendar quarter in which the Company’s “adjusted net investment income” exceeds the Catch-Up Amount, the Income Incentive Fee shall equal 12.5% of the amount of the Company’s “adjusted net investment income” for the calendar quarter.

“Adjusted net investment income” means the Company’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” during the then most recently completed calendar quarter minus the difference, if positive, between (i) the Company’s “net realized losses” over the then Trailing Twelve Quarters (or if shorter, the number of calendar quarters that have occurred since the IPO) and (ii) the Company’s “net investment income” over the Trailing Twelve Quarters (excluding the then most recently completed calendar quarter). No adjustment (downward or upward) will be made to “pre-incentive fee net investment income” if the difference between clause (i) minus clause (ii) is zero or negative.

“Pre-incentive fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Income Incentive Fee). “Pre-incentive fee net investment income” includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, original issue discount (“OID”), debt instruments with payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero-coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash.

“Net realized losses” in respect of a particular period means the difference, if positive, between (i) the aggregate realized capital losses on the Company’s investments in such period and (ii) the aggregate realized capital gains on the Company’s investments in such period. “Net investment income” in respect of the particular period means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the particular period, minus operating expenses for the particular period (including the base management fee, the Income Incentive Fee, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock). “Net investment income” includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, OID, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero-coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash.

The Income Incentive Fee amount, or the calculations pertaining thereto, as appropriate, will be pro-rated for any period less than a full calendar quarter.

Effective upon completion of the IPO, the Investment Advisor has also agreed to use the most recently completed and three preceding calendar quarters (each such period is referred to herein as the “Trailing Four Quarters”) in addition to the Trailing Twelve Quarters to compute the incentive fee payable to it by the Company. In conjunction therewith, the Investment Advisor has agreed to calculate the incentive fee based on the Trailing Twelve Quarters and the Trailing Four Quarters and in the event that any Trailing Four Quarter period calculation produces a lower incentive fee as compared to the applicable Trailing Twelve Quarter period calculation for any quarterly period, then the Trailing Four Quarter Period will be used in connection with the calculation of the incentive fee payable to the Investment Advisor by the Company for such quarter.

The Investment Advisor has agreed to pay all offering costs in connection with the IPO. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred with the Company’s share offerings, the preparation of the Company’s registration statement, and registration fees. The Company is not obligated to repay any such offering costs paid by our Investment Advisor.

Note 5. Fair Value of Investments

Fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive upon selling an investment or paying to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. Accounting guidance emphasizes that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the investment as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable at the measurement date. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets including actionable bids from third parties for privately held assets or liabilities, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curves and forward currency rates that are entered directly into valuation models to determine the value of derivatives or other assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date.

Investments in private investment companies measured based upon NAV as a practical expedient to determine fair value are not required to be categorized in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024, there were no investments accounted for using the practical expedient.

The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and are based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the market or income approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, beta and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes, which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.

Pricing inputs and weightings applied to determine fair value require subjective determination. Accordingly, valuations do not necessarily represent the amounts that may eventually be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy of investments as of June 30, 2025:

Fair Value Hierarchy as of June 30, 2025
Investments: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

The following table shows the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 investments during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company did not hold any Level 3 positions at the year ended December 31, 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, two equity investments were transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as a result of changes in the observability of significant inputs for the portfolio companies. There were no transfers to or from Level 3 investments for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Debt Not Carried at Fair Value

The fair value of the BoA Credit Facility, WF Credit Facility and CLO Transaction, which would be categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2025, approximates their respective carrying values because the BoA Credit Facility, WF Credit Facility and CLO Transaction each have variable interest based on selected short-term rates.

Note 6. Borrowings

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limitations, BDCs are permitted to borrow amounts such that their asset coverage ratios, as defined in the 1940 Act, are at least 150% after such borrowing. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s asset coverage ratio was 166%.

Bank of America Credit Facility

(“BofA Securities”), as Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager, pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to provide the Company with a revolving line of credit (the “BoA Credit Facility”).

Under the BoA Credit Facility, the Lenders have agreed to extend credit to PS BDC Funding in an aggregate amount up to the Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) amount. The Commitment amount for the BoA Credit Facility was $200.0 million as of the closing date of the Credit Agreement, increased to $400.0 million on the one-month anniversary of the closing date, further increased to $475.0 million on October 12, 2020, further increased to $725.0 million on September 29, 2021, and decreased to $525.0 million on June 13, 2024.

CLO Transaction

On May 23, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a $400.5 million term debt securitization (the “CLO Transaction”), also known as a collateralized loan obligation, in connection with which a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company issued the Notes (as defined below). The CLO Transaction functions as a source of long-term balance sheet financing for a portion of the Company’s portfolio investments and, as a result, the Notes issued in connection with the CLO Transaction are subject to the Company’s regulatory asset coverage requirement.

The notes offered in the CLO Transaction were issued by Palmer Square BDC CLO 1, Ltd. (the “Issuer”), an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, and consist of (i) $232 million of Class A Notes (the “Class A Notes”); (ii) $58.0 million Class B-1 Notes, (the “Class B-1 Notes”); and (iii) $10 million of Class B-2 Notes (the “Class B-2 Notes” and, together with the Class A Notes and the Class B-1 Notes, the “Secured Notes”). Additionally, on the Closing Date the Issuer issued $100.5 million of Subordinated Notes (the “Subordinated Notes”), which do not bear interest but are entitled to all of the principal and interest payments made on the loan portfolio held by the Issuer, net of interest and principal payments distributed to the holders of the Secured Notes. The Secured Notes together with the Subordinated Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes.”

The following table presents information on the Notes issued in the CLO Transaction as of June 30, 2025:

On the Closing Date and in connection with the CLO Transaction, the Issuer and the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with BofA Securities, Inc., as the initial purchaser (the “Initial Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Initial Purchaser purchased the Secured Notes issued pursuant to an indenture as part of the CLO Transaction.

The CLO Transaction is backed by a diversified portfolio of senior secured loans or participation interests therein with the potential for investment in second lien loans or participation interests therein, corporate bonds or loans made to a debtor-in-possession pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code having the priority allowed by either Section 364(c) or 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code and fully secured by senior liens or participation interests therein, which is managed by the Company as collateral manager pursuant to a collateral management agreement entered into with the Issuer on the Closing Date (the “Collateral Management Agreement”). The Company has agreed to irrevocably waive all collateral management fees payable to it so long as it is the collateral manager under the Collateral Management Agreement. The Notes are scheduled to mature on July 15, 2037; however, the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer, at the written direction of (i) a majority of the Subordinated Notes (with the consent of the Company, in the case of the Secured Notes) or (ii) the Company, in each case, on any business day on or after July 15, 2026.

The Secured Notes are the secured obligations of the Issuer, the Subordinated Notes are the unsecured obligations of the Issuer, and the indenture governing the Notes includes customary covenants and events of default. The Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from registration.

Note 7. Share Transactions

Offering Proceeds

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued and sold 32,662 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $0.5 million and 5,485,963 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $90.2 million, respectively. These amounts include shares issued in reinvestment.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of its dividends and other distributions on behalf of the Company’s stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Company’s Board authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend or other distribution, then stockholders who do not “opt out” of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends and distributions (net of withholding tax, if any) automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends and distributions.

Prior to the IPO, the Board primarily used newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock to implement the dividend reinvestment plan. The number of shares of common stock to be issued to a participant prior to the IPO would be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the cash value of the dividend payable to such stockholder by the NAV per share as of the date such dividend was declared.

After the IPO, the Board intends to primarily use newly-issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan, whether or not the shares are trading at a price per share at, below or above NAV. However, the Board reserves the right to purchase shares in the open market in connection with the implementation of the dividend reinvestment plan. The Board will examine the full facts and circumstances of each such dividend to determine the approach (i.e., to use newly issued shares or effectuate open market purchases to implement the dividend reinvestment plan) that is in the best interests of stockholders taking into account the Board’s fiduciary duties to stockholders, including by weighing the potential dilution in connection with such issuance to be incurred by the Company’s stockholders against the Company’s need and usage of reinvested funds, and, if the Company uses newly issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan at a time when the shares are trading at a price below NAV, the stockholders’ receipt of fewer shares than they would have if the Company had effectuated open market purchases. The number of newly issued shares to be issued to a participant would be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the dividend payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of the Company’s common stock at the close of regular trading on a national securities exchange on the dividend payment date. Shares purchased in open market transactions by Equiniti, the plan administrator and the Company’s transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent, will be allocated to a participant based upon the average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of the Company’s common stock purchased with respect to the dividend.

A registered stockholder may elect to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying Equiniti in writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator no later than the record date for distributions to stockholders. The plan administrator will set up an account for shares acquired through the plan for each stockholder who has not elected to receive dividends or other distributions in cash and hold such shares in noncertificated form.

There will be no brokerage charges or other charges to stockholders who participate in the plan. The plan administrator’s fees will be paid by the Company.

Stockholders who receive dividends and other distributions in the form of stock are generally subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as are stockholders who elect to receive their distributions in cash. However, since a participating stockholder’s cash dividends will be reinvested, such stockholder will not receive cash with which to pay any applicable taxes on reinvested dividends. A stockholder’s basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of stock received in a dividend or other distribution from the Company will generally be equal to the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to the stockholder. Any stock received in a dividend or other distribution will have a new holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares are credited to the U.S. stockholder’s account.

Participants may terminate their accounts under the plan by so notifying the plan administrator by submitting a letter of instruction terminating the participant’s account under the plan to Equiniti. The plan may be terminated by the Company upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend by the Company.

If participants withdraw from the plan or the plan is terminated, the plan administrator will cause the shares held for the participant under the plan to be delivered to the participant. If an investor holds common stock with a brokerage firm that does not participate in the plan, such investor will not be able to participate in the plan and any dividend reinvestment may be affected on different terms than those described above.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued 32,662 shares of its common stock pursuant to the Company dividend reinvestment plan.

Open Market Share Repurchase Plan

The Board authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock through an open-market share repurchase program for up to $20 million in the aggregate of shares of the Company’s common stock through 12 months from the date of the IPO. Pursuant to such authorization and concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company entered into a share repurchase plan (the “Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan”) to acquire up to $15 million in the aggregate of shares of its common stock, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan commenced on March 23, 2024, beginning 60 calendar days following the end of the “restricted period” under Regulation M, and terminated upon the effectiveness of the Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan (as defined below).

The Board subsequently authorized the Company to enter into an extended share repurchase plan. On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into a share repurchase plan (the “Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan”) to acquire up to $20 million in the aggregate of shares of the Company’s common stock less any repurchases made pursuant to the Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan commenced on January 22, 2025 and will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 12 months from the date of the Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan, (ii) the end of the trading day on which the aggregate purchase price for all shares purchased under the Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan equals $20 million less any repurchases made pursuant to the Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan and (iii) the occurrence of certain other events described in the Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan.

The Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan and Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan are intended to allow the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws.

Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, PSCM entered into a share purchase plan (the “PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan”) to permit the purchase of up to $2.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan commenced on April 22, 2024 and terminated upon the effectiveness of the Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan (as defined below).

On April 22, 2025, PSCM entered into a share purchase plan (the “Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan”) to acquire up to $2.5 million in the aggregate of shares of the Company’s common stock less any purchases made pursuant to the PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan commenced on May 22, 2025 and will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 12 months from the commencement of the Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan, (ii) the end of the trading day on which the aggregate purchase price for all shares purchased under the Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan equals $2.5 million less any purchases made pursuant to the PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan and (iii) the occurrence of certain other events described in the Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan.

The PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan and Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan are intended to allow PSCM to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws. The PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan and Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan will require PSCM’s agent to purchase shares of common stock on PSCM’s behalf when the market price per share of the Company’s common stock is trading below the most recently reported NAV per share of common stock. Under the PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan and Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan, the agent will increase the volume of purchases made as the price of the Company’s common stock declines, subject to volume restrictions.

The purchase of shares pursuant to the PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan and Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan are intended to satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, and will otherwise be subject to applicable law, including Regulation M, which may prohibit purchases under certain circumstances.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. As of each of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, there were no dilutive shares.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations $ 7,169,976 $ 5,312,813 $ (1,219,235 ) $ 28,192,953
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding - basic and diluted 32,349,999 32,569,280 32,475,330 32,081,916
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock - basic and diluted $ 0.22 $ 0.16 $ (0.04 ) $ 0.88

Note 11. Financial Highlights

  • The per common share data was derived by using weighted average shares outstanding.

  • The ratios reflect an annualized amount.

  • Total return is calculated as the change in net asset value (“NAV”) per share during the period, plus distributions per share (if any), divided by the beginning NAV per share. Total return is not annualized. Assumes reinvestment of distributions.

  • Realized and unrealized gains and losses per share in this caption are balancing amounts necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per share for the period, and may not reconcile with the aggregate gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations due to share transactions during the period.

Note 12. Segment Reporting

The Company operates through a single operating and reporting segment with an investment objective to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s chief executive officer, and the CODM assesses the performance and makes operating decisions of the Company on a consolidated basis primarily based on the Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations (“net income”). Net income is comprised of total investment income (‘segment revenues’) and total expenses (‘significant segment expenses’), which are considered the key segment measures of profit or loss reviewed by the CODM. In addition to numerous other factors and metrics, the CODM utilizes net income as a key metric in determining the amount of dividends to be distributed to the Company’s stockholders, implementing investment policy decisions, strategic initiatives, managing the Company’s portfolio, allocating assets, and assessing the performance of the portfolio. As the Company’s operations are comprised solely of the Investment Management Segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as “total assets” and the significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included herein. There have been no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements, except for the following:

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our company, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including:

  • our future operating results;
  • our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
  • changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets, including the liquidity of certain banks;
  • uncertainty surrounding the financial and political stability of the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and China, and the war between Russia and Ukraine;
  • disruptions related to tariffs and other trade or sanctions issues, which may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade;
  • the impact of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates on our business and our portfolio companies;
  • rising levels of inflation, and its impact on us, on our portfolio companies and on the industries in which we invest;
  • the ability of the Investment Advisor to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;
  • the ability of the Investment Advisor and its affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals;
  • risk associated with possible disruptions in our operations or the economy generally, including a possible slowdown in the economy and risk of recession;
  • the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of the companies in which we invest;
  • the ability of the companies in which we invest to achieve their objectives;
  • our ability to continue to effectively manage our business due to the disruptions caused by global political and economic instability;
  • the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its effect on the industries in which we invest;
  • our ability to maintain our qualification as a BDC and as a RIC under the Code;
  • the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments;
  • the adequacy, availability and pricing of our financing sources and working capital;
  • actual or potential conflicts of interest with the Investment Advisor and its affiliates;
  • our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
  • loss of key personnel, and the illiquid nature of our investments; and
  • the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we assume no duty and do not undertake to update the forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a financial services company that primarily lends to and invests in corporate debt securities of companies, including small to large private U.S. companies. We were organized as a Maryland corporation on August 26, 2019 and are structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company. We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2020, we have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, and we expect to qualify as a RIC annually.

On January 22, 2024, we completed our IPO, issuing 5,450,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, at a public offering price of $16.45 per share. Our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PSBD” on January 18, 2024.

We are externally managed by the Investment Advisor, an investment adviser that is registered with the SEC under the Advisers Act, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. Subject to the supervision of our Board, a majority of which is made up of Independent Directors, our Investment Advisor manages our day-to-day operations and provides us with investment advisory and management services and certain administrative services. The Investment Advisor, in its capacity as Administrator, provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate pursuant to the Administration Agreement. The Administrator has entered into the Sub-Administration Agreement to delegate certain administrative functions to the Sub-Administrator. Our Investment Advisor is a majority-owned subsidiary of PSCM, which is a privately held firm specializing in global alternative (non-traditional) investments with a total return orientation.

Our investment objective is to maximize total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. However, no assurance can be given that our investment objective will be achieved, and investment results may vary substantially on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis. The Company’s current investment focus is guided by two strategies that facilitate our investment opportunities and core competencies: (1) investing in corporate debt securities and, to a lesser extent, (2) investing in CLO structured credit funds that typically own corporate debt securities, including the equity and junior debt tranches of CLOs. We seek to invest in credit and other assets that the Investment Advisor believes have strong structural protections, limited downside, and low long-term beta, or volatility, in comparison to systemic risk within the broader credit and equity markets. A significant portion of the loans in which we may invest or obtain exposure to through our investments in structured securities may be deemed “Covenant-Lite Loans,” which means the loans contain fewer or no maintenance covenants compared to other loans and do not include terms which allow the lender to declare a default if certain covenants are breached.

Revenues

We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest and fee income on debt investments we hold and capital gains, if any, on investments. Our debt investments generally bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark. Interest on debt securities is generally payable quarterly or semi-annually. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments is expected to fluctuate significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of fees to the Investment Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, our allocable portion of overhead and rental expenses under the Administration Agreement and other operating costs described below.

  • New CLO equity investments do not have an ascribed interest rate and are therefore excluded from the calculation.
  • Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either a) LIBOR (which can include one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR) or b) the CME Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “S”) (which can include one-, three-, or six-month SOFR), which resets periodically based on the terms of the loan agreement. At the borrower’s option, loans may instead reference an alternate base rate (which can include the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Prime Rate), which also resets periodically based on the terms of the loan agreements. Loans that reference SOFR may include a Credit Spread Adjustment (“CSA”), where the CSA is a defined additional spread amount based on the tenor of SOFR the borrower selects (making the reference rate S+CSA).

  • CLO equity securities are considered income producing securities but do not have an ascribed interest rate, and therefore are excluded from the calculation.
  • Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either a) LIBOR (which can include one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR) or b) the CME Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “S”) (which can include one-, three-, or six-month SOFR), which resets periodically based on the terms of the loan agreement.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, total investment income was driven by interest income from our investment portfolio. Total investment income is lower for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period due to the investment portfolio primarily consisting of floating rate loans in a falling rate environment. The size of our investment portfolio at fair value decreased from $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2024 to $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2025. The size of our investment portfolio at fair value increased from $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2023 to $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, loans on non-accrual status represented 0.19% of the total investments at fair value (or 0.27% at amortized cost). As of December 31, 2024, loans on non-accrual status represented 0.08% of the total investments at fair value (or 0.46% at amortized cost).

Expenses

Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024

Net expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $36.1 million, which consisted of $25.5 million in interest and debt financing, $4.6 million in management fees, $3.8 million in incentive fees, $2.2 million in other operating expenses, and $74 thousand in directors fees.

Net expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $20.8 million, which consisted of $15.0 million in interest expense, $2.5 million in management fees, $2.2 million in incentive fees, $1.1 million in other operating expenses, and $37 thousand in directors fees.

Interest expense decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the average interest rate on debt decreasing from 6.95% at June 30, 2024 to 6.06% at June 30, 2025 (average debt outstanding increased from $770.9 million to $786.7 million during the same period) under our BoA Credit Facility, WF Credit Facility and CLO Transaction. Incentive fees and management fees decreased compared to the prior year period due to lower net investment income and average net assets, respectively.

Net Change in Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Investments

We fair value our portfolio investments quarterly and any changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, net unrealized gains (losses) on our investment portfolio were comprised of the following:

For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Unrealized gains on investments $ 22,624,193 $ 21,190,332 $ 28,668,154 $ 33,732,798
Unrealized (losses) on investments (23,550,607 ) (22,223,446 ) (45,002,437 ) (26,467,670 )
Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments $ (926,414 ) $ (1,033,114 ) $ (16,334,283 ) $ 7,265,128

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, this consisted of net unrealized depreciation of $13.3 million related to existing portfolio investments, and net unrealized appreciation of $12.4 million related to exited portfolio investments (a portion of which has been reclassified to realized losses).

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We anticipate cash to be generated from registered offerings of our common stock and other future offerings of equity and debt securities (including on-balance sheet CLO financings), and cash flows from operations, including interest earned from the temporary investment of cash in cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. On January 14, 2020, our sole stockholder approved the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act to us effective as of such date. As a result of the reduced asset coverage requirement, we are permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of stock senior to our common stock if our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least equal to 150% immediately after each such issuance. If we are unable to obtain leverage or raise equity capital on terms that are acceptable to us, our ability to grow our portfolio could be substantially impacted. Furthermore, while any indebtedness and senior securities remain outstanding, we may be required to prohibit any distribution to our stockholders or the repurchase of shares unless we meet the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the distribution or repurchase. In connection with borrowings, our lenders, including under the BoA Credit Facility and the WF Credit Facility, may require us to pledge assets, investor commitments to fund capital calls and/or the proceeds of those capital calls. In addition, such lenders may ask us to comply with positive or negative covenants that could have an effect on our operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $13.7 million. During the period, net cash provided by operating activities was $87.4 million, primarily as a result of proceeds received from sale of investments of $277.7 million, offset by fundings of portfolio investments (excluding investments in short-term investments) of $196.7 million. We funded short-term investments during the period, and as of the end of the period we held $48.8 million in fair value of short-term investments. During the same period, net cash used in financing activities was $73.7 million, primarily consisting of $40.2 million net repayments under the BoA Credit Facility and WF Credit Facility, distributions paid in cash of $28.3 million and payment for the repurchase of common shares of $5.7 million, partially increased by proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $0.5 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $12.7 million. During the period, net cash used in operating activities was $238.4 million, primarily as a result of fundings of portfolio investments (excluding investments in short-term investments) of $535.8 million, partially offset by proceeds received from sale of investments of $209.6 million. We funded short-term investments during the period, and as of the end of the period we held $63.1 million in fair value of short-term investments. During the same period, net cash provided by financing activities was $251.1 million, primarily consisting of $300.0 million in proceeds from the CLO Transaction (as defined below), offset by $117.4 million of net repayments under the BoA Credit Facility and WF Credit Facility, partially increased by proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $89.7 million.

As of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $16.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had $216.4 million in undrawn capacity under the BoA Credit Facility and $20.7 million in undrawn capacity under the WF Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024, we had $138.4 million in undrawn capacity under the BoA Credit Facility and $38.8 million in undrawn capacity under the WF Credit Facility.

As a BDC, we are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings and other senior securities, which include all of our borrowings and any preferred stock that we may issue in the future, of at least 150%. If this ratio declines below 150%, we cannot incur additional debt and could be required to sell a portion of our investments to repay some debt when it is disadvantageous to do so. As of June 30, 2025, our asset coverage ratio was 166%.

Capital Contributions

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued and sold 32,662 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $0.5 million, and 5,485,963 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $90.2 million, respectively. These amounts include shares issued in reinvestment.

Under the Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan, the agent will increase the volume of purchases made as the price of our common stock declines, subject to volume restrictions. The Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Repurchase Plan commenced on January 22, 2025 and will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 12 months from the date of the Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan, (ii) the end of the trading day on which the aggregate purchase price for all shares purchased under the Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan equals $20 million less any repurchases made pursuant to the Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan and (iii) the occurrence of certain other events described in the Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 413,444 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Company Rule 10b5-1 Repurchase Plan and Extended Company Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan.

The Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan commenced on May 22, 2025 and will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 12 months from the commencement of the Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan, (ii) the end of the trading day on which the aggregate purchase price for all shares purchased under the Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan equals $2.5 million less any purchases made pursuant to the PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan and (iii) the occurrence of certain other events described in the Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, PSCM purchased 21,573 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan and Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan.

Financing Arrangements

Bank of America Credit Facility

On February 18, 2020, we, through a special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary, PS BDC Funding, entered into the Credit Agreement with the Lenders, BofA N.A. as the administrative agent and BofA Securities, as Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager, pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to provide us with a revolving line of credit.

Under the BoA Credit Facility, the Lenders have agreed to extend credit to PS BDC Funding in an aggregate amount up to the Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) amount. The Commitment amount for the BoA Credit Facility is currently $525 million. The Borrowers’ ability to draw under the BoA Credit Facility is scheduled to terminate on February 11, 2028. All amounts outstanding under the BoA Credit Facility are required to be repaid by February 18, 2028. On March 29, 2024, we entered into a fourth amendment to the BoA Credit Facility to, among other things: (i) extend the facility maturity date from February 18, 2025 to February 18, 2028; (ii) update arrangements for the calculation of the fee on unused commitments from 1.30% to a range from 0.50% to 1.40%, depending on the amount of commitments utilized, and (iii) payment of an extension fee.

Prior to February 3, 2023, the loans under the BOA Credit Facility may have been base rate loans or euro currency loans. The base rate loans bore interest at the base rate plus 1.30%, and the eurocurrency rate loans bore interest at 1-month or 3-month LIBOR plus 1.30%. The “base rate” was equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate, and (c) 1-month or 3-month LIBOR. On February 3, 2023, the Company entered into an omnibus amendment to the BoA Credit Facility that, among other things: (i) removed LIBOR transition language and (ii) replaced eurocurrency rate loans with SOFR loans.

As of February 3, 2023, the loans under the BoA Credit Facility may be base rate loans or SOFR loans. The base rate loans will bear interest at the base rate plus 1.40%, and the SOFR loans will bear interest at 1-month SOFR plus 1.40% or 3-month SOFR plus 1.45%. The “base rate” will be equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate, and (c) 1-month or 3-month SOFR plus 0.10%. The Credit Agreement includes fallback language in the event that SOFR becomes unavailable. Interest pursuant to base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears, and interest pursuant to SOFR loans is payable either quarterly or monthly, as specified by the Borrowers in a loan notice pertaining thereto. The Credit Agreement requires the payment of a commitment fee of 0.50% for unused Commitments until the four-month anniversary of the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Thereafter, the commitment fee is 0.50% on unused Commitments up to 30% of the BoA Credit Facility, and 1.30% on unused Commitments in excess of 30% of the BoA Credit Facility. Such fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The advance rate for PS BDC Funding’s Eligible Collateral Assets ranges from 40% for Second Lien Bank Loans to 70% for First Lien Bank Loans that are B Assets to 100% for Cash (excluding Excluded Amounts) (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement).

PS BDC Funding has pledged all of its assets to BofA N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent, to secure its obligations under the BoA Credit Facility. Both the Company and PS BDC Funding have made customary representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements, and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. Borrowing under the BoA Credit Facility is subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the 1940 Act and PS BDC Funding complies with 1940 Act provisions relating to affiliated transactions and custody (Section 17, as modified by Section 57, of the 1940 Act). The custodian of the assets pledged to BofA N.A. pursuant to the BoA Credit Facility is U.S. Bank. The obligations under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, including in the event of a change of control of PS BDC Funding or if the Investment Advisor ceases to serve as investment adviser to the Company.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $308.6 million principal outstanding and $216.4 million of available Commitments under the BoA Credit Facility, and PS BDC Funding was in compliance with the applicable covenants in the BoA Credit Facility on such date.

Wells Fargo Credit Facility

On December 18, 2020, we, through a special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary, PS BDC Funding II, entered into the Loan Agreement with the WF Lenders, WFB as the administrative agent and U.S. Bank, as Collateral Agent and Custodian, pursuant to which the WF Lenders agreed to provide us with a line of credit.

On December 18, 2023, we entered into the WF Credit Facility Fourth Amendment, which amends the WF Credit Facility to, among other things: (i) increase the amount available for borrowing under the WF Credit Facility from $150,000,000 to $175,000,000, (ii) extend the facility maturity date from December 18, 2025 to December 18, 2028 and (iii) extend the reinvestment period from December 18, 2023 to December 18, 2026 (subject to other provisions of the WF Credit Facility).

Prior to April 10, 2023, the loans under the WF Credit Facility may have been Broadly Syndicated Loans or Middle Market loans and were eurocurrency rate loans unless such rate was unavailable, in which case the loans were base rate loans until such rate was available. Broadly Syndicated Loans bore interest at the LIBOR or base rate, as applicable, plus 1.85%, and Middle Market Loans bore interest at LIBOR or base rate, as applicable, plus 2.35%. The “base rate” was equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (b) the prime rate. On April 10, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the WF Credit Facility that, among other things: (i) transferred and assigned U.S. Bank National Association’s rights and obligations as collateral agent and as a secured party to U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, (ii) referenced SOFR instead of LIBOR and (iii) removed LIBOR transition language.

As of April 10, 2023, the loans under the WF Credit Facility may be Broadly Syndicated Loans or Middle Market Loans and will bear interest at Daily Simple SOFR or base rate (to the extent Daily Simple SOFR is unavailable), plus 2.50%, with an interest rate floor of 0.0%. The “base rate” will be equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (b) the prime rate. The Loan Agreement includes fallback language in the event that Daily Simple SOFR becomes unavailable. Interest is payable quarterly, as determined by the WFB as the administrative agent. Following an amendment to the WF Credit Facility on October 13, 2021, the Loan Agreement requires the payment of a non-usage fee of (x) during the first thirteen months following the closing of the WF Credit Facility, 0.50% multiplied by daily unused Facility Amounts, (y) between thirteen and sixteen months following the closing of the WF Credit Facility, 0.50% multiplied by the lesser of (1) daily unused Facility Amounts and (2) 50% of the Facility Amount plus 2.00% multiplied by the greater of (i) the difference between the daily unused Facility Amount and 50% of the Facility Amount and (ii) zero, and, (z) thereafter, 0.50% multiplied by the lesser of (1) daily unused Facility Amounts and (2) 20% of the Facility Amount plus 2.00% multiplied by the greater of (i) the difference between the daily unused Facility Amount and 20% of the Facility Amount and (ii) zero. Such fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The WF Credit Facility includes the option to downsize the facility by paying a Commitment Reduction Fee. The Fee is equal to 2.00% of the facility reduction amount prior to the one-year anniversary of the WF Credit Facility Fourth Amendment, and 1.00% thereafter. The applicable percentage for the advance rate on PS BDC Funding II’s Eligible Loans ranges from 67.5% for Middle Market Loans to 70% for Broadly Syndicated Loans (as each such term is defined in the Loan Agreement).

PS BDC Funding II has pledged all of its assets to U.S. Bank, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, to secure its obligations under the WF Credit Facility and U.S. Bank acts as the custodian of such assets. Both the Company and PS BDC Funding II have made customary representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements, and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. Borrowing under the WF Credit Facility is subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the 1940 Act and PS BDC Funding II complies with 1940 Act provisions relating to affiliated transactions and custody (Section 17, as modified by Section 57, of the 1940 Act). The obligations under the Loan Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement, including in the event of a change of control of PS BDC Funding II, if the Investment Advisor ceases to serve as investment adviser to the Company, or if PSCM or its affiliates cease to directly or indirectly own a majority of the membership interests of the Investment Advisor.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $154.3 million outstanding and $20.7 million of available Commitments under the WF Credit Facility, and PS BDC Funding II was in compliance with the applicable covenants in the WF Credit Facility on such date.

CLO Transaction

On May 23, 2024, we completed a $400.5 million term debt securitization (the “CLO Transaction”), also known as a collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”), in connection with which our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary issued the Notes (as defined below). The CLO Transaction functions as a source of long-term balance sheet financing for a portion of our portfolio investments and, as a result, the Notes issued in connection with the CLO Transaction are subject to our regulatory asset coverage requirement.

The notes offered in the CLO Transaction were issued by Palmer Square BDC CLO 1, Ltd. (the “Issuer”), an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and our wholly-owned subsidiary, and consist of (i) $232 million of Class A Notes (the “Class A Notes”); (ii) $58 million of Class B-1 Notes, (the “Class B-1 Notes”); and (iii) $10 million of Class B-2 Notes (the “Class B-2 Notes” and, together with the Class A Notes and the Class B-1 Notes, the “Secured Notes”). Additionally, the Issuer issued $100.5 million of Subordinated Notes (the “Subordinated Notes”), which do not bear interest but are entitled to all of the principal and interest payments made on the loan portfolio held by the Issuer, net of interest and principal payments distributed to the holders of the Secured Notes. The Secured Notes together with the Subordinated Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes.”

The CLO Transaction is backed by a diversified portfolio of senior secured loans or participation interests therein with the potential for investment in second lien loans or participation interests therein, corporate bonds or loans made to a debtor-in-possession pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code having the priority allowed by either Section 364(c) or 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code and fully secured by senior liens or participation interests therein, which is managed by us as collateral manager pursuant to a collateral management agreement entered into with the Issuer (the “Collateral Management Agreement”). We have agreed to irrevocably waive all collateral management fees payable to us so long as we are the collateral manager under the Collateral Management Agreement. The Notes are scheduled to mature on July 15, 2037; however, the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer, at the written direction of (i) a majority of the Subordinated Notes (with the consent of us, in the case of the Secured Notes) or (ii) us, in each case, on any business day on or after July 15, 2026.

As of June 30, 2025, we had outstanding indebtedness under the CLO Transaction of $300.0 million.

Distribution Policy

To the extent that we have income available, we intend to distribute quarterly dividends to our stockholders. Our quarterly dividends, if any, will be determined by our Board. Any dividends to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution.

We have elected to be treated, and intend to operate in a manner so as to continuously qualify, as a RIC under the Code. To obtain and maintain RIC tax treatment, among other things, we must distribute dividends to our stockholders in respect of each taxable year of an amount at least equal to 90% of the sum of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of our net long-term capital losses (“investment company taxable income”), determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we currently intend to distribute dividends to our stockholders in respect of each calendar year of an amount at least equal to the sum of: (1) 98% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for such calendar year; (2) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses (“capital gain net income”), adjusted for certain ordinary losses, generally for the one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year; and (3) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we previously paid no U.S. federal income tax. Under certain applicable provisions of the Code and U.S. Treasury regulations, distributions payable in cash or in shares of stock at the election of the stockholders are treated as taxable dividends. The Internal Revenue Service has published guidance indicating that this rule will apply even where the total amount of cash that may be distributed is limited to no more than 20% of the total distribution. Under this guidance, if too many stockholders elect to receive their distributions in cash, the cash available for distribution must be allocated among the stockholders electing to receive cash (with the balance of the distribution paid in stock). If we decide to make any distributions consistent with this guidance that are payable in part in stock, taxable stockholders receiving such dividends will be required to include the full amount of the dividend (whether received in cash, shares of our stock, or a combination thereof) as ordinary income (or as long-term capital gain to the extent such distribution is properly reported as a capital gain dividend) to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. stockholder may be required to pay tax with respect to such dividends in excess of any cash received. If a U.S. stockholder sells the stock it receives in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the dividend, depending on the value of our stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. stockholders, the Company may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in stock.

For these excise tax purposes, we will be deemed to have distributed any net ordinary taxable income or capital gain net income on which we have paid U.S. federal income tax. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a calendar year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income for distribution in the following calendar year, and pay any applicable U.S. federal excise tax. We may not be able to achieve results that will permit the payment of cash distributions.

We currently intend to distribute net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually out of the assets legally available for such distributions. However, we may decide in the future to retain such capital gains for investment, incur a corporate-level tax on such capital gains, and elect to treat such capital gains as deemed distributions to our stockholders. If this happens, our stockholders will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if they had received an actual distribution of the capital gains that we retain and reinvested the net after tax proceeds in us. In this situation, our stockholders would be eligible to claim a tax credit equal to their allocable share of the tax we paid on the capital gains deemed distributed to them. We may not be able to achieve operating results that will permit us to pay any cash distributions, and if we issue senior securities, we will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so would cause us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if such distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of our dividends and other distributions on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if our Board authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend or other distribution, then stockholders who do not “opt out” of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends and distributions (net of withholding tax, if any) automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends and distributions.

Prior to the IPO, the Board primarily used newly-issued shares of our common stock to implement the dividend reinvestment plan. The number of shares of common stock to be issued to a participant prior to the IPO would be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the cash value of the dividend payable to such stockholder by the NAV per share as of the date such dividend was declared.

After the IPO, the Board intends to primarily use newly-issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan, whether or not the shares are trading at a price per share at, below or above NAV. However, the Board reserves the right to purchase shares in the open market in connection with the implementation of the dividend reinvestment plan. The Board will examine the full facts and circumstances of each such dividend to determine the approach (i.e., to use newly issued shares or effectuate open market purchases to implement the dividend reinvestment plan) that is in the best interests of stockholders taking into account the Board’s fiduciary duties to stockholders, including by weighing the potential dilution in connection with such issuance to be incurred by our stockholders against our need and usage of reinvested funds, and, if we use newly issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan at a time when the shares are trading at a price below NAV, the stockholders’ receipt of fewer shares than they would have if we had effectuated open market purchases. The number of newly issued shares to be issued to a participant would be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the dividend payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of our common stock at the close of regular trading on a national securities exchange on the dividend payment date. Shares purchased in open market transactions by Equiniti, the plan administrator and our transfer agent, registrar, and dividend disbursing agent, will be allocated to a participant based upon the average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of our common stock purchased with respect to the dividend.

A registered stockholder may elect to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying Equiniti in writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator no later than the record date for distributions to stockholders. The plan administrator will set up an account for shares acquired through the plan for each stockholder who has not elected to receive dividends or other distributions in cash and hold such shares in noncertificated form.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Critical accounting estimates are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. The preparation of these financial statements will require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. In addition to the discussion below, we have described our critical accounting estimates in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

In December 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, which permits a BDC’s board of directors to either (i) choose to continue to determine fair value in good faith, or (ii) designate its investment adviser as the valuation designee tasked with determining fair value in good faith, subject to the board’s oversight. Our Board has designated the Investment Advisor to serve as our valuation designee effective August 11, 2022.

Under procedures established by our Board, we value investments for which market quotations are readily available at such market quotations. Assets listed on an exchange will be valued at their last sales prices as reported to the consolidated quotation service at 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the date of determination. If no such sales of such securities occurred, such securities will be valued at the mean between the last available bid and ask prices as reported by an independent, third-party pricing service on the date of determination (unless the prices provided by the pricing service is believed by the Investment Advisor to be unreliable or a significant event has occurred subsequent to the provision of the prices that the Investment Advisor determines will affect the fair value of the securities). Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available (or for which either of the events noted in the parenthetical immediately above occur) are valued at fair value by the Investment Advisor. Such determination of fair values may involve subjective judgments and estimates, although we will also engage independent valuation providers to review the valuation of each portfolio investment that constitutes a material portion of our portfolio and that does not have a readily available market quotation at least once annually. With respect to unquoted securities, our Investment Advisor will value each investment considering, among other measures, discounted cash flow models, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public and other factors. With respect to Level 3 assets, we intend to retain one or more independent providers of financial advisory services to assist the Investment Advisor by performing certain limited third-party valuation services. We may appoint additional or different third-party valuation firms in the future.

When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs with respect to a fair-valued portfolio company or comparable company, the Investment Advisor will use the pricing indicated by the external event in connection with its fair valuation determination process. Because we expect that there will not be a readily available market for many of the investments in our portfolio, we expect to value many of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Investment Advisor using a documented valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had readily available market quotations existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities are determined using the identified cost basis method for financial reporting.

Related Party Transactions

We have entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Investment Advisor and the Administration Agreement with the Investment Advisor (in such capacity, the Administrator). Mr. Christopher D. Long and Mr. Jeffrey D. Fox, each an executive officer of ours and an interested member of our Board, and Angie K. Long, Matthew L. Bloomfield and Scott A. Betz, each an executive officer of ours, have an indirect pecuniary interest in the Investment Advisor. The Investment Advisor is a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act that is majority-owned by PSCM. See “Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions – Administration Agreement” and “– Investment Advisory Agreement” in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Contractual Obligations

We have certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. We have entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Investment Advisor in accordance with the 1940 Act. Payments for investment advisory services under the Advisory Agreement are equal to (a) a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the average value of the weighted average of our total net assets at the end of the two most recently completed quarters and (b) an incentive fee based on our performance. The Investment Advisor agreed to waive its right to receive management fees in excess of 1.75% of the total net assets during any period prior to the IPO. We have entered into an Administration Agreement with the Administrator to serve as our administrator. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes us with office facilities and equipment, provides us with clerical, bookkeeping and recordkeeping services at such facilities, and provides us with other services necessary for us to operate or has engaged a third-party firm to perform some or all of these functions.

A summary of our significant contractual payment obligations related to the repayment of our outstanding indebtedness at June 30, 2025 is as follows:

Contractual Obligations Payments Due by Period
Less than<br>1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years More than<br>5 years Total
BoA Credit Facility, Net $ - $ 305,843,823 $ - $ - $ 305,843,823
WF Credit Facility, Net - - 155,214,583 - 155,214,583
CLO Transaction, Net - - - 302,159,021 302,159,021
Total contractual obligations $ - $ 305,843,823 $ 155,214,583 $ 302,159,021 $ 763,217,427

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not recorded on our consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Our unfunded commitments may be significant from time to time. Unfunded commitments may expire without being drawn upon and the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had 21 unfunded commitments totaling $15.7 million and 26 unfunded commitments totaling $21.6 million, respectively. See “Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for specific identification of the unfunded commitments. We believe we maintain sufficient liquidity in the form of cash (including restricted cash, if any), receivables and borrowing capacity to fund these unfunded commitments should the need arise. See Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources above.

Other than contractual commitments and other legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of our business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financings or liabilities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

Assuming that the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 were to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rate.

Change in Interest Rates Increase<br>(Decrease) in<br>Interest Income Increase (Decrease)<br>in Interest Expense Net Increase (Decrease)<br>in Net Investment<br>Income
Down 300 basis points $ (38,607,427 ) $ (22,887,153 ) $ (15,720,274 )
Down 200 basis points (25,679,614 ) (15,258,102 ) (10,421,512 )
Down 100 basis points (12,846,472 ) (7,629,051 ) (5,217,421 )
Up 100 basis points 12,846,472 7,629,051 5,217,421
Up 200 basis points 25,679,614 15,258,102 10,421,512
Up 300 basis points 38,607,427 22,887,153 15,720,274

The data in the table are based on our current statements of assets and liabilities. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $19.5 million in net purchases that had not yet settled and $15.7 million in unfunded commitments. After settlement of these purchases, the change in interest expense will be larger as a result of the increase in the amount borrowed under the BoA Credit Facility, WF Credit Facility or CLO Transaction, as applicable. The table does not include any change in dividend income from our money market investments.

In addition, any investments we make that are denominated in a foreign currency will be subject to risks associated with changes in currency exchange rates. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls, and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved.

We measure exposure to interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations on an ongoing basis and may hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options, swaps and forward contracts and credit hedging contracts, such as credit default swaps, in each case, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, PSCM purchased 21,573 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan and Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan.

(1) Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, PSCM entered into the PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan to permit the purchase of up to $2.5 million shares of our common stock, if the market price per share of our common stock is below the most recently reported NAV per share, subject to certain limitations. Under the PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan, the agent will increase the volume of purchases made as the price of the Company’s common stock declines, subject to volume restrictions. The PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan commenced on April 22, 2024 and terminated upon the effectiveness of the Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan. On April 22, 2025, PSCM entered into a share purchase plan (the “Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan”) to permit the purchase of up to $2.5 million in the aggregate of shares of our common stock less any purchases made pursuant to the PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan, on substantially similar terms and conditions as the PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan. The Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan commenced on May 22, 2025 and will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 12 months from the commencement of the Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan, (ii) the end of the trading day on which the aggregate purchase price for all shares purchased under the Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan equals $2.5 million less any purchases made pursuant to the PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan and (iii) the occurrence of certain other events described in the Extended PSCM Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan.
