Earnings (Loss) Per Share

10.EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The following information sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2023		2022		2021
Net increase (decrease) in net assets from operations	$	195,874	$	55,003	$	192,427
Weighted average shares outstanding		108,305,428		102,258,701		101,691,076
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	1.81	$	0.54	$	1.89

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per common share, the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was less than the conversion price for the Convertible Notes, which matured and were fully repaid on April 1, 2022 in accordance with their terms. Therefore, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, diluted earnings per share equal basic earnings per share because the underlying shares for the intrinsic value of the embedded options in the Convertible Notes were not dilutive.
