As of March 31, 2015, our floating rate loans and related liabilities were indexed to the various benchmark rates relevant in each case in terms of currency and payment frequency. Therefore the net exposure to each benchmark rate is in direct proportion to our net assets indexed to that rate. In addition, 8% of our loans earned interest based on LIBOR floors, with an average floor of 0.24%, as of March 31, 2015. In addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination fees, loan origination costs, and accrual of both extension and exit fees.

Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower, however our loans may be repaid prior to such date. As of March 31, 2015, 83% of our loans are subject to yield maintenance, lock-out provisions, or other prepayment restrictions and 17% are open to repayment by the borrower.
