“Additionally, the Republican Party currently controls both the executive and legislative branches of government, which increases the likelihood that legislation may be adopted that could significantly affect the regulation of U.S. financial markets. Regulatory changes could result in greater competition from banks and other lenders with which we compete for lending and other investment opportunities. The United States may also potentially withdraw from or renegotiate various trade agreements and take other actions that would change current trade policies of the United States. …”see in full comparison

“In addition, cybersecurity is a top priority for global lawmakers and regulators around the world, and some jurisdictions have proposed or enacted laws requiring companies to notify regulators and individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of personal data. In particular, state and federal laws and regulations related to cybersecurity compliance continue to evolve and change, which may require substantial investments in new technology, software and personnel, which could affect the Company’s profitability. …”see in full comparison

However, regional and investor specific sentiment may differ in what constitutes a material positive or negative ESG corporate practice. There is no guarantee that the Company’s ESG and sustainability practices will uniformly fit every investor’s definition of best practices for all environmental, social and governance considerations across geographies and investor types. At the same time, in recent years “anti-ESG” sentiment has also gained momentum across the U.S., withsee in full comparisona growing number ofseveral states,federal agencies,the executive branch and federal agencies, and Congress havingenacted,proposed,proposedenacted or indicated an intent to pursue “anti-ESG” policies, legislation or issued related legal opinions andengaged inpursued related investigations and litigation. If investors subject to “anti-ESG” legislation view our Investment Adviser’s responsible investing or ESG practices as being in contradiction of such “anti-ESG” policies, legislation or legal opinions, such investors may not invest in us and it could negatively impact the price of our common stock. In addition, corporate diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”) practices have recently come under increasing scrutiny.For example,Further, someadvocacygroups and federal and state officials have asserted that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision striking down race-based affirmative action in higher education in June 2023 should be analogized to private employment matters and private contractmattersmatters.and severalSeveral media campaigns and cases alleging discrimination based on such arguments have been initiated since thedecision.decisionAdditionally,and in January 2025,Presidentthe Trump Administration signed a number of Executive Orders focused on DEI, whichindicatecautioncontinuedthescrutinyprivateofsector to end “illegal DEIinitiativesdiscrimination andpotentialpreferences”relatedand preview upcoming compliance investigations ofcertainprivate entities with respect to DEI initiatives, including publicly traded companies. Agencies across the federal government, including the Department of Justice, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, have been focusing on DEI-related investigations and enforcement. It is uncertain how the interpretation, application, and enforcement of laws (including U.S. state and federal nondiscrimination laws), policies, and public sentiment related to DEI will evolve, and it may become increasingly challenging to establish global DEI-related policies and programs that meet the varied laws, policies, and norms of different jurisdictions. If we do not successfully manage expectations across varied stakeholder interests, it could erode stakeholder trust, impact our reputation and constrain our investment opportunities. Such scrutiny of both ESG and DEI related practices could expose our Investment Adviser to the risk of litigation, investigations or challenges by federal or state authorities or result in reputational harm. Compliance with any new ESG laws or regulations increases our regulatory burden and could result in increased legal, accounting and compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, affect the manner in which we or our portfolio companies conduct our businesses and adversely affect our profitability.

Our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of portfolio companies and industries. The Company is classified as a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, which means that it is not limited by the 1940 Act with respect to the proportion of its assets that it could invest in a single portfolio company. To the extent that we assume large positions in the securities of a small number of portfolio companies, our net asset value could fluctuate to a greater extent than that of a diversified investment company as a result of changes in the financial condition or the market’s assessment of the portfolio company. We could also be more susceptible to any single economic or regulatory occurrence than a diversified investment company. As of December 31, 2024,2025, our investments in Kingsbridge Holdings, LLC, SLR Credit Solutions, Kingsbridge Holdings, LLCSolutions and SLR Business Credit comprised 11.8%,12.2%, 10.3%10.9% and 5.1%,5.2%, respectively, of our total assets and our investments in the diversified financial services, multi-sector holdings and health care providers & services industries comprised 22.7%,24.9%, 15.2%16.2% and 11.1%,7.8%, respectively, of our total assets. Beyond the asset diversification requirements associated with our qualification as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, we do not have fixed guidelines for diversification, and while we are not targeting any specific industries, our investments may be concentrated in relatively few industries or portfolio companies. As a result, the aggregate returns we realize may be significantly adversely affected if a small number of investments perform poorly or if we need to write down the value of any one investment. Additionally, a downturn in any particular industry in which we are invested could also significantly impact the aggregate returns we realize.

From time to time, we may be subject to legal actions as well as various regulatory, governmental and law enforcement inquiries, investigations and subpoenas. In any such claims or actions, demands for substantial monetary damages may be asserted against us and may result in financial liability or an adverse effect on our reputation among investors. In addition, the new presidential administration will lead toany leadership changes or reforms at a number of U.S. federal regulatory agencies with oversight over our industry. Any changes or reformsindustry may impose additional costs or result in other limitations on us.
In recent periods, there has been increased activity by certain activist and other organized groups in opposition to certain investments made by and activities of investment funds. Such groups may contact or otherwise seek to engage with government and regulatory bodies and fund investors, including public pension funds, to criticize or challenge certain investments, which could lead to negative publicity that could harm our or our Investment Adviser’s reputation. In addition, partially as a result of certain high profile defaults and bankruptcies, there has also been increased negative publicity with respect to the private credit industry. Although neither we nor our Investment Adviser have been involved in those particular defaults and bankruptcies, the negative publicity and concerns surrounding the private credit industry generally could in the future harm our or our Investment Adviser’s reputation, adversely affect our borrower or investor relationships and fundraising efforts and create pressure on the trading price of our common stock.
We may distribute taxable distributions that are payable in part in shares of our common stock. Under certain applicable provisions of the Code and published guidance, distributions of a publicly offered RIC that are in cash or in shares of stock at the election of stockholders may be treated as taxable distributions. The Internal Revenue Service has issued a revenue procedure indicating that this rule will apply if the total amount of cash to be distributed is not less than 20% of the total distribution. Under this revenue procedure, 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 distributions paid in stock). In no event will any stockholder electing to receive cash, receive less than the lesser of (a) the portion of the distribution such stockholder has elected to receive in cash or (b) an amount equal to his or her entire distribution times the percentage limitation on cash available for distribution. If we decide to make any distributions consistent with this revenue procedure that are payable in part in our stock, taxable stockholders receiving such distributions will be required to include the full amount of the distribution (whether received in cash, 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 distribution) 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 distributions in excess of any cash received. If a U.S. stockholder sells the stock it receives as a distribution in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the distribution, depending on the market price of our stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. stockholders, we may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such distributions, including in respect of all or a portion of such distribution that is payable in stock. If a significant number of our stockholders determine to sell shares of our stock in order to pay taxes owed on distributions, it may put downward pressure on the trading price of our stock.

Under Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) and our charter, our board of directors is authorized to classify and reclassify any authorized but unissued shares of stock into one or more classes of stock, including preferred stock. Prior to issuance of shares of each class or series, the board of directors is required by Maryland law and our charter to set the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each class or series. Thus, the board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. The cost of any such reclassification would be borne by our existing common stockholders. The issuance of shares of preferred stock convertible into shares of common stock might also reduce the net income and net asset value per share of our common stock upon conversion, provided that we will only be permitted to issue such convertible preferred stock to the extent we comply with the requirements of Section 61 of the 1940 Act, including obtaining common stockholder approval. These effects, among others, could have an adverse effect on your investment in our common stock.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had $482.0$505.4 million outstanding under the Credit Facility, composed of $342.0$352.2 million of revolving credit and $140.0$153.1 million outstanding of term loans, and $165.1 million outstanding under our SPV Credit Facility. We also had $75.0 million outstanding of 2028 Series J Unsecured Notes, $50.0 million outstanding of 2028 Series I Unsecured Notes, $50.0 million outstanding of 2028 Series H Unsecured Notes, $49.0 million outstanding of 2027 Series G Unsecured Notes, $135.0 million outstanding of the 2027 Series F Unsecured Notes, $50.0 million outstanding of the 2027 Unsecured Notes,Notes and $75.0 million outstanding of the 2026 Unsecured Notes, and $85.0 million outstanding of the 2025 Unsecured Notes. If we issue preferred stock, the preferred stock would rank “senior” to common stock in our capital structure, preferred stockholders would generally vote together with common stockholders but would have separate voting rights on certain matters and might have other rights, preferences, or privileges more favorable than those of our common stockholders, and the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in your best interest.
We borrow money as part of our business plan. Borrowings, also known as leverage, magnify the potential for loss on amounts invested and, therefore, increase the risks associated with investing in our securities. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had $482.0$505.4 million outstanding under the Credit Facility, composed of $342.0$352.2 million of revolving credit and $140.0$153.1 million outstanding of term loans, and $165.1 million outstanding under our SPV Credit Facility. We also had $75.0 million outstanding of 2028 Series J Unsecured Notes, $50.0 million outstanding of 2028 Series I Unsecured Notes, $50.0 million outstanding of 2028 Series H Unsecured Notes, $49.0 million outstanding of 2027 Series G Unsecured Notes, $135.0 million outstanding of the 2027 Series F Unsecured Notes, $50.0 million outstanding of the 2027 Unsecured Notes,Notes and $75.0 million outstanding of the 2026 Unsecured Notes, and $85.0 million outstanding of the 2025 Unsecured Notes. We may borrow from and issue senior debt securities to banks, insurance companies and other lenders in the future. Lenders of these senior securities, including the Credit Facility, the SPV Credit Facility, the 2028 Series J Unsecured Notes, the 2028 Series I Unsecured Notes, the 2028 Series H Unsecured Notes, the 2027 Series G Unsecured Notes, the 2027 Series F Unsecured Notes, the 2027 Unsecured Notes, the 2026 Unsecured Notes,Notes and the 20252026 Unsecured Notes, will have fixed dollar claims on our assets that are superior to the claims of our common stockholders, and we would expect such lenders to seek recovery against our assets in the event of a default. If the value of our assets increases, then leveraging would cause the net asset value attributable to our common stock to increase more sharply than it would have had we not leveraged. Conversely, if the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Similarly, any decrease in our income would cause net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Also, any increase in our income in excess of interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net investment income to increase more than it would without the leverage, while any decrease in our income would cause net investment income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a decline could also negatively affect our ability to make distribution payments on our common stock, scheduled debt payments or other payments related to our securities. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique. Our ability to service any debt that we incur will depend largely on our financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures. Moreover, as the management fee payable to our Investment Adviser, SLR Capital Partners, will be payable based on our gross assets, including those assets acquired through the use of leverage, SLR Capital Partners will have a financial incentive to incur leverage which may not be consistent with our stockholders’ interests. In addition, our common stockholders will bear the burden of any increase in our expenses as a result of leverage, including any increase in the management fee payable to SLR Capital Partners.
The Maryland General Corporation LawMGCL and our charter and bylaws contain provisions that may discourage, delay or make more difficult a change in control of SLR Investment Corp. or the removal of our directors. We are subject to the Maryland Business Combination Act, subject to any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act. Our board of directors has adopted a resolution exempting from the Maryland Business Combination Act any business combination between us and any other person, subject to prior approval of such business combination by our board of directors, including approval by a majority of our disinterested directors. If the resolution exempting business combinations is repealed or our board of directors does not approve a business combination, the Maryland Business Combination Act may discourage third parties from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating such an offer. Our bylaws exempt from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act (the “Control Share Act”) acquisitions of our stock by any person. If we amend our bylaws to repeal the exemption from the Control Share Act, the Control Share Act also may make it more difficult for a third party to obtain control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating such a transaction. The SEC staff has rescinded its position that, under the 1940 Act, an investment company may not avail itself of the Control Share Act. As a result, we will amend our bylaws to be subject to the Control Share Act only if our board of directors determines that it would be in our best interests.
Although we are not currently aware of any cyber-attacks or other incidents that, individually or in the aggregate, have materially affected, or would reasonably be expected to materially affect, its operations or financial condition, there has been an increase in the frequency and sophistication of the cyber and security threats faced in the marketplace. Cyber-attacks and other security threats could originate from a wide variety of sources, including cyber criminals, nation state hackers, hacktivists and other outside or inside parties. We may be a target for attacks because, as a specialty finance company, we hold confidential and other sensitive information, including price information, about existing and potential investments. Further, we are dependent on third-party vendors for hosting hardware, software and data processing systems that we do not control. We also rely on third-party service providers for certain aspects of its business, including for certain information systems, technology and administration of our portfolio companies and compliance matters. While we rely on the cybersecurity strategy and policies implemented by the Investment Adviser, our reliance on the Investment Adviser and third-party service providers removes certain cybersecurity functions from outside of the Company’s immediate control, and cyber-attacks on the Investment Adviser, on us or on third-party service providers could adversely affect us, our business, and our reputation. The costs related to cyber-attacks or other security threats or disruptions may not be fully insured or indemnified by others, including by our third-party providers. As our reliance on computer hardware and software systems, data processing systems, and other technology has increased, so have the risks posed to such systems, both those the Investment Adviser controls and those provided by third-party vendors. Cyber-attacks may originate from a wide variety of sources, and while the Investment Adviser has implemented processes, procedures, and internal controls designed to mitigate cybersecurity risks and cyber-attacks, these measures do not guarantee that a cyber-attack will not occur or that our financial results, operations, or confidential information, personal, or other sensitive information will not be negatively impacted by such an incident, especially because the techniques of threat actors change frequently and are often not recognized until launched. The Investment Adviser relies on industry accepted security measures and technology to securely maintain confidential and proprietary information maintained on its information systems, as well as on policies and procedures to protect against the unauthorized or unlawful disclosure of confidential, personal, or other sensitive information. Although the Investment Adviser takes protective measures and endeavors to strengthen its computer systems, software, technology assets, and networks to prevent and address potential cyber-attacks, there can be no assurance that any of these measures prove effective. The Investment Adviser expects to be required to devote increasing levels of funding and resources, which may in part be allocated to us, to comply with evolving cybersecurity and privacy laws and regulations and to continually monitor and enhance its cybersecurity procedures and controls. In addition, we, the Investment Adviser, the Administrator, or their employees, if any, may also be the target of fraudulent emails or other targeted attempts to gain unauthorized access to confidential, personal, or other sensitive information. Many jurisdictions have also enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of personal information, with which we and the Investment Adviser must comply in the event of a security incident or cyber-attack. The result of any security incident or cyber-attack may include disrupted operations, misstated or unreliable financial data, fraudulent transfers or requests for transfers of money, liability for stolen information (including personal information), investigations, misappropriation of assets, increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, litigation and damage to our business relationships, regulatory fines or penalties, or other adverse effects on our business, financial condition or results of operations. The Investment Adviser may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify its protective measures and to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks related to cyber-attacks. The rapid evolution and increasing prevalence of artificial intelligence technologies may also increase cybersecurity risks.
In addition, cybersecurity is a top priority for global lawmakers and regulators around the world, and some jurisdictions have proposed or enacted laws requiring companies to notify regulators and individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of personal data. In particular, state and federal laws and regulations related to cybersecurity compliance continue to evolve and change, which may require substantial investments in new technology, software and personnel, which could affect the Company’s profitability. The SEC has adopted rules related to cybersecurity risk management for registered investment advisers, registered investment companies and BDCs. In addition, the SEC requires public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents on Form 8-K and provide periodic disclosure regarding their cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance in annual reports. In May 2024, the SEC adopted cybersecurity regulations as an amendment to Regulation S-P designed to establish a federal “minimum standard” for covered institutions to adopt an incident response program to govern their response to any unauthorized access of customer information. The adopted rule requires compliance as of December 2025 and applies to us as it includes investment companies and registered investment advisers. The amendments require implementation of written policies and procedures to safeguard customer records and information by imposing notification requirements to affected individuals whose sensitive customer information was or is reasonably likely to have been accessed or used without authorization and other requirements, such as review of incident response programs and having policies and procedures regarding compliance by third-party service providers. With the SEC particularly focused on cybersecurity, we expect increased scrutiny of our and our Investment Adviser’s policies and systems designed to manage cybersecurity risks and related disclosures. We also may face increased costs to comply with the new SEC rules, including our Investment Adviser’s increased costs for cybersecurity training and management, a portion of which may be allocated to us. In addition, the SEC has indicated in recent periods that one of its examination priorities for the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations is to continue to examine cybersecurity procedures and controls, including testing the implementation of these procedures and controls. These changes may also result in enhanced and unforeseen consequences for cyber-related breaches and incidents, which may further adversely affect the Company’s profitability. If we fail to comply with the relevant and increasing laws and regulations, we could suffer financial losses, a disruption of our businesses, liability to investors, regulatory intervention or reputational damage.

Regulators are also increasing scrutiny and implementing and considering regulation of the use of artificial intelligence technologies, including with respect to uses of artificial intelligence by investment advisers. While comprehensive U.S. regulation has not been enacted to date, various U.S. governmental agencies and departments, including the SEC and Department of the Treasury, have recently released reports or otherwise indicated interest in assessing risks relating to uses of artificial intelligence by businesses such as ours. Some specific laws governing artificial intelligence have already been passed in certain U.S. states and in the European Union. We cannot predict what, if any, effects this may have on our business or the nature of future regulations.
There has been ongoing discussion and commentary regarding potential significant changes to United States trade policies, treaties and tariffs. The United States has recently enacted and proposed to enact significant new tariffs. Additionally, President Trump has directed various federal agencies to further evaluate key aspects of United States trade policy, and there continues to exist significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to the trade policies, treaties and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the United States. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our portfolio companies’ access to suppliers or customers and have a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition and results of operations, which in turn would negatively impact us.
Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics) may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. Such events, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, the political and geopolitical developments in Venezuela, the large-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia that began in February 2022 and resulting sanctions or other restrictive actions that the United States and other countries have imposed against Russia, an inflationary environment and the ongoing wartensions in the Middle East,East (including the internal unrest in Iran) and between China and Taiwan, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Additionally, the Republican Party currently controls both the executive and legislative branches of government, which increases the likelihood that legislation may be adopted that could significantly affect the regulation of U.S. financial markets. Regulatory changes could result in greater competition from banks and other lenders with which we compete for lending and other investment opportunities. The United States may also potentially withdraw from or renegotiate various trade agreements and take other actions that would change current trade policies of the United States. Changes in trade policies, including the imposition of new tariffs or increases in existing tariffs between the United States, Mexico, Canada, China or other countries, or reactionary measures in response thereto, including retaliatory tariffs, legal challenges, or currency manipulation, could adversely affect the market conditions in which we and our portfolio companies operate. These factors may affect the level and volatility of credit and securities prices and the liquidity and value of our investments, and we and our portfolio companies may not be able to successfully manage our exposure to these conditions. This could in turn materially reduce our net asset value and dividends and adversely affect our financial prospects and condition. In addition, numerous structural dynamics and persistent market trends have exacerbated volatility and market uncertainty. Concerns over significant volatility in the commodities markets, sluggish economic expansion in foreign economies, including continued concerns over growth prospects in China and emerging markets, growing debt loads for certain countries, uncertainty about the consequences of the U.S. and other governments withdrawing monetary stimulus measures, government agency closures, prolonged government shutdowns and speculation about a possible recession all highlight the fact that economic conditions remain unpredictable and volatile.
In recent periods, geopolitical tensions, including between the U.S. and China, have escalated. Further escalation of such tensions and the related imposition of sanctions or other trade barriers may negatively impact the rate of global growth, particularly in China, where growth has slowed. Moreover, there is a risk of both sector-specific and broad-based volatility, corrections and/or downturns in the equity and credit markets. A number of factors have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on credit markets in particular. In 2025, the weakness and the uncertainty regarding the stability of the oil and gas markets resulted in a tightening of credit across multiple sectors.
In addition, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and corresponding events have had, and could continue to have, severe adverse effects on regional and global economic markets. Following Russia’s actions, various governments, including the United States, have issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia, including, among other actions, a prohibition on doing business with certain Russian companies, large financial institutions, officials and oligarchs; a commitment by certain countries and the European Union to remove selected Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications, the electronic banking network that connects banks globally; and restrictive measures to prevent the Russian Central Bank from undermining the impact of the sanctions. The duration of hostilities and the vast array of sanctions and related events (including cyberattacks and espionage) cannot be predicted. Furthermore, the conflict between the two nations and the varying involvement of the United States and other NATO countries could preclude prediction as to their ultimate adverse impact on global economic and market conditions, and, as a result, presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to markets globally, which pose potential adverse risks to us and the performance of our investments and operations, and our ability to achieve our investment objectives. Additionally, to the extent that third parties, investors, or related customer bases have material operations or assets in Russia or Ukraine, they may have adverse consequences related to the ongoing conflict. Any such market disruptions could affect our portfolio companies’ operations and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate in 2022 and 2023. While the Federal Reserve cut its benchmark rate in the third and fourth quarters of 2024 and 2025 and indicated that there may be additional rate cuts in 2025,2026, future reductions to benchmark rates are not certain. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve will not return to making upwards adjustments to the federal funds rate in the future. These developments, along with the United States government’s credit and deficit concerns, global economic uncertainties and market volatility, could cause interest rates to be volatile, which may negatively impact our ability to access the debt markets and capital markets on favorable terms.
There is uncertainty surrounding potential legal, regulatory and policy changes by newthe current presidential administrationsadministration in the United States that may directly affect financial institutions and the global economy.
The current administration has called for significant changes to U.S. trade, healthcare, immigration, foreign and government regulatory policy. In this regard, there is significant uncertainty with respect to legislation, regulation and government policy at the federal level, as well as the state and local levels. Recent events have created a climate of heightened uncertainty and introduced new and difficult-to-quantify macroeconomic and political risks with potentially far-reaching implications. There has been a corresponding meaningful increase in the uncertainty surrounding interest rates, inflation, foreign exchange rates, trade volumes and fiscal and monetary policy. To the extent the U.S. Congress or the current administration implements changes to U.S. policy, those changes may impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade and relations, unemployment, immigration, corporate taxes, healthcare, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas.areas, which could adversely impact the Company and its stockholders. Although we cannot predict the impact, if any, of these changes to our business, they could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Until we know what policy changes are made and how those changes impact our business and the business of our competitors over the long term, we will not know if, overall, we will benefit from them or be negatively affected by them.
The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) iswas an index rate that historically was widely used in lending transactions and was a common reference rate for setting the floating interest rate on private loans. LIBOR was typically the reference rate used in floating-rate loans extended to our portfolio companies.

The risks associated with the Company’s and our portfolio companies’ businesses are more severe during periods of economic slowdown or recession.
Technological innovations and industry disruptions may negatively impact us.
Technological innovations and industry disruptions, including artificial intelligence, could disrupt the markets in which we operate and subject us to increased competition, legal and regulatory risks and compliance costs.
Artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence, is rapidly evolving. While the full extent of current or future risks related thereto is not possible to predict, artificial intelligence could significantly disrupt the business models and markets in which we operate and subject us to increased competition, legal and regulatory risks and compliance costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our or our portfolio companies’ business, financial condition and results of operations.
We, our Investment Adviser and our Administrator may use and may plan to expand our use of artificial intelligence tools and technologies in the operation of our business. In addition, certain of our portfolio companies use and may plan to expand their use of artificial intelligence tools and technologies in the operation of their businesses. These uses come with potential risks, including, but not limited to, generation of inaccurate results, misuse or disclosures of confidential information, infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities, reputational risk, and regulatory burdens. Artificial intelligence models may create outputs that are flawed, inaccurate, biased, or that infringe or misappropriate intellectual property of third parties. The models may also be subject to new or different modes of cyber attacks, including prompt injection attacks, and such attacks may be able to circumvent our cybersecurity tools and processes. To the extent we, our Investment Adviser, our Administrator, or any of our portfolio companies rely on such technologies, these risks could negatively impact us or our portfolio companies. There is also a risk that artificial intelligence tools or applications may be misused by employees and/or third parties engaged by us, our Investment Adviser or Administrator, or by our portfolio companies. For example, an employee of our Investment Adviser may input confidential information, including material non-public information, trade secrets, or personal information, into artificial intelligence technologies in a manner that results in such information becoming part of a dataset that is accessible by third-party artificial intelligence applications and users, including our competitors. Further, we, our Investment Adviser or Administrator or our portfolio companies may not be able to control how third-party artificial intelligence technologies that we or they choose to use are developed or maintained, or how data we or they input is used or disclosed, even where contractual protections with respect to these matters have been sought. The misuse or misappropriation of our data could have an adverse impact on our reputation and could subject us to legal and regulatory investigations and/or actions. The misuse or misappropriation of data of any of our portfolio companies could have an adverse impact on such businesses reputation and could subject such portfolio company to legal and regulatory investigations and/or actions.
We or our portfolio companies may also be exposed to competitive risks related to the adoption of artificial intelligence or other new technologies by others within our respective industries. If our or our portfolio companies’ competitors are more successful than us or our portfolio companies in the use of artificial intelligence or development of services or products based on artificial intelligence, or we or our portfolio companies do so at a slower pace than others, we or our portfolio companies may be at a competitive disadvantage.
In addition, our or our portfolio companies’ investments in technology systems and artificial intelligence may not deliver the benefits we or they expect, which could be costly for our or their respective businesses.
Finally, regulations related to artificial intelligence may also impose on us or our portfolio companies certain obligations and costs related to monitoring and compliance, and we or they could be subject to regulatory actions if we or they are deemed not to have complied.
Our business (including that of our portfolio companies) faces increasing public scrutiny related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) activities. A variety of organizations measure the performance of companies on ESG topics, and the results of these assessments are widely publicized. Certain institutional investors may consider such ESG ratings and measures in making their investment decisions. If our ESG ratings or performance do not meet the standards set by such investors or our stockholders, they may choose to exclude our securities from their investments. In addition, investment in funds that specialize in companies that perform well in such assessments remain popular, and major institutional investors have publicly discussed their consideration of such ESG ratings and measures in making their investment decisions. We risk damage to our brand and reputation if we fail to act responsibly in a number of areas, including, but not limited to, human rights, climate change, environmental stewardship, support for local communities, corporate governance and transparency or consideration of ESG factors in our investment processes. Adverse incidents with respect to ESG activities could impact the value of our brand, our relationship with existing and future portfolio companies, the cost of our operations and relationships with investors, all of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
However, regional and investor specific sentiment may differ in what constitutes a material positive or negative ESG corporate practice. There is no guarantee that the Company’s ESG and sustainability practices will uniformly fit every investor’s definition of best practices for all environmental, social and governance considerations across geographies and investor types. At the same time, in recent years “anti-ESG” sentiment has also gained momentum across the U.S., with a growing number ofseveral states, federal agencies, the executive branch and federal agencies, and Congress having enacted,proposed, proposedenacted or indicated an intent to pursue “anti-ESG” policies, legislation or issued related legal opinions and engaged inpursued related investigations and litigation. If investors subject to “anti-ESG” legislation view our Investment Adviser’s responsible investing or ESG practices as being in contradiction of such “anti-ESG” policies, legislation or legal opinions, such investors may not invest in us and it could negatively impact the price of our common stock. In addition, corporate diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”) practices have recently come under increasing scrutiny. For example,Further, some advocacy groups and federal and state officials have asserted that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision striking down race-based affirmative action in higher education in June 2023 should be analogized to private employment matters and private contract mattersmatters. and severalSeveral media campaigns and cases alleging discrimination based on such arguments have been initiated since the decision.decision Additionally,and in January 2025, Presidentthe Trump Administration signed a number of Executive Orders focused on DEI, which indicatecaution continuedthe scrutinyprivate ofsector to end “illegal DEI initiativesdiscrimination and potentialpreferences” relatedand preview upcoming compliance investigations of certain private entities with respect to DEI initiatives, including publicly traded companies. Agencies across the federal government, including the Department of Justice, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, have been focusing on DEI-related investigations and enforcement. It is uncertain how the interpretation, application, and enforcement of laws (including U.S. state and federal nondiscrimination laws), policies, and public sentiment related to DEI will evolve, and it may become increasingly challenging to establish global DEI-related policies and programs that meet the varied laws, policies, and norms of different jurisdictions. If we do not successfully manage expectations across varied stakeholder interests, it could erode stakeholder trust, impact our reputation and constrain our investment opportunities. Such scrutiny of both ESG and DEI related practices could expose our Investment Adviser to the risk of litigation, investigations or challenges by federal or state authorities or result in reputational harm. Compliance with any new ESG laws or regulations increases our regulatory burden and could result in increased legal, accounting and compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, affect the manner in which we or our portfolio companies conduct our businesses and adversely affect our profitability.
There is also regulatory interest across jurisdictions in improving transparency regarding the definition, measurement and disclosure of ESG factors in order to allow investors to validate and better understand sustainability claims. For example, the SEC sometimes reviews compliance with ESG commitments in examinations and has taken enforcement actions against registered investment advisers for not establishing adequate or consistently implementing ESG policies and procedures to meet ESG commitments to investors. In March 2024, the SEC adopted rules aimed at enhancing and standardizing climate-related disclosures; however, these rules are stayed pending the outcome of consolidated legal challenges in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. At the state level, in October 2023, California enacted legislation that will ultimately require certain companies that do business in California to publicly disclose their Scopes 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions, with third party assurance of such data, and issue public reports on their climate-related financial risk and related mitigation measures. Compliance with any new laws or regulations increases our regulatory burden and could result in increased legal, accounting and compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, affect the manner in which we or our portfolio companies conduct our businesses and adversely affect our profitability.
We and our portfolio companies are subject to the risk that ESG and sustainability measures might continue to be introduced. Additionally, compliance with any new laws or regulations increases our regulatory burden and could make compliance more difficult and expensive, affect the manner in which we or our portfolio companies conduct our businesses and adversely affect our profitability.
There may be evidence of global climate change. Climate change creates physical and financial risk and some of our portfolio companies may be adversely affected by climate change. For example, the needs of customers of energy companies vary with weather conditions, primarily temperature and humidity. To the extent that weather conditions are affected by climate change, energy use could increase or decrease depending on the duration and magnitude of any changes. Increases in the cost of energy could adversely affect the cost of operations of our portfolio companies if the use of energy products or services is material to their business. A decrease in energy use due to weather changes may affect some of our portfolio companies’ financial condition, through decreased revenues. Extreme weather conditions in general require more system backup, adding to costs, and can contribute to increased system stresses, including service interruptions. These events and the disruptions they cause, alone or in combination, could also lead to increased costs of insurance for us and/or our portfolio companies. Energy companies could also be affected by the potential for lawsuits against or taxes or other regulatory costs imposed on greenhouse gas emitters, based on links drawn between greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.

Interest and other credit facility expenses generally consist of interest, unused fees, agency fees and loan origination fees, if any, among others. The decrease in expenses for the year over year period was primarily due to lower interest expense onfrom a decrease in average borrowings as well as a decrease in the index rates on borrowings. Additionally there was a reduction in generalperformance-based and administrative expenses, partially offset by higherincentive fees stemmingon from higherlower net investment income.

Below is certain summarized financial information for SSLP as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and for the three and threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 20242025:
The typically higher yields and interest rates on PIK securities, to the extent we invested, reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risks associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a significantly higher credit risk than coupon loans. PIK securities may have unreliable valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. PIK income has the effect of generating investment income and increasing the incentive fees payable at a compounding rate. In addition, the deferral of PIK income also increases the loan-to-value ratio at a compounding rate. PIK securities create the risk that incentive fees will be paid to the Investment Adviser based on non-cash accruals that ultimately may not be realized, but the Investment Adviser will be under no obligation to reimburse the Company for these fees. For the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 20262026, capitalized PIK income totaled $1.7 million and $7.4 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, capitalized PIK income totaled $5.6$1.8 million and $1.7$3.5 million, respectively.

We deem certain U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities as cash equivalents. The Company makes purchases that are consistent with its purpose of making investments in securities described in paragraphs 1 through 3 of Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. From time to time, including at or near the end of each fiscal quarter, we consider using various temporary investment strategies for our business. One strategy includes taking proactive steps by utilizing cash equivalents as temporary assets with the objective of enhancing our investment flexibility pursuant to Section 55 of the 1940 Act. More specifically, from time to time we may purchase U.S. Treasury bills or other high-quality, short-term debt securities at or near the end of the quarter and typically close out the position on a net cash basis subsequent to quarter end. We may also utilize repurchase agreements or other balance sheet transactions, including drawing down on the Credit Facility, as deemed appropriate. The amount of these transactions or such drawn cash for this purpose are excluded from total assets for purposes of computing the asset base upon which the management fee is determined. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held face amounts of $390$400 million and $350 million, respectively, in cash equivalents.

The asset coverage ratio for a class of senior securities representing indebtedness is calculated as our consolidated total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, divided by all senior securities representing indebtedness. This asset coverage ratio is multiplied by one thousand to determine the Asset Coverage Per Unit. In order to determine the specific Asset Coverage Per Unit for each class of debt, the total Asset Coverage Per Unit is allocated based on the amount outstanding in each class of debt at the end of the period. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, asset coverage was 186.5%.184.7%.
From time to time and in the normal course of business, the Company may make unfunded capital commitments to current or prospective portfolio companies. Typically, the Company may agree to provide delayed-draw term loans or, to a lesser extent, revolving loans or equity commitments. These unfunded capital commitments always take into account the Company’s liquidity and cash available for investment, portfolio and issuer diversification, and other considerations. Accordingly, the Company had the following unfunded capital commitments at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively:
The credit agreements governing the above loan commitments contain customary lending provisions and/or are subject to the respective portfolio company’s achievement of certain milestones that allow relief to the Company from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had sufficient cash available and/or liquid securities available to fund its commitments and had reviewed them for any appropriate fair value adjustment.
