¹ The preliminary estimates of third quarter 2018 results furnished above are based on the Company’s management’s preliminary determinations and current expectations, and such information is inherently uncertain. The preliminary estimates are subject to completion of the Company’s customary quarter-end closing and review procedures, including the determination of the fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments by the Company’s Board of Directors, and have not yet been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.  As a result, actual results could differ materially from the current preliminary estimates based on adjustments made during the Company’s quarter-end closing and review procedures, and the Company’s reported information in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 may differ from this information, and any such differences may be material.
