Chief Executive Officer Theodore L. Koenig commented, “We are pleased to report another quarter of strong financial results. During the third quarter, we reported an increased Net Asset Value and we again fully covered our dividend with Net Investment Income while continuing to reduce leverage, primarily through paydowns on the portfolio. We continue to believe the vast majority of our portfolio companies have strong long-term outlooks. Further, we believe that most all of the companies that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will recover from the short-term challenges they are facing as a result. We have seen this recovery occur in many of our impacted portfolio companies and expect this recovery to continue. As market volatility resulting from uncertainty related to the impacts of COVID-19 has continued to decline, we saw spreads continue to tighten and valuations for portfolio companies without significant long-term COVID-19 impact once again rebound during the quarter. We expect to redeploy a portion of the proceeds we received from the recent repayments into current yielding assets which should positively contribute to asset growth and earnings in future quarters. As always, we continue to be focused on the interests of our shareholders and will operate with caution and remain focused on generation of Net Investment Income, preservation of capital and creation of shareholder value.”
