[2] For those portfolio companies who did not agree to provide census data, job totals are based on data provided by such portfolio companies at time of transaction.

[4] National median income data is from the U.S. Census Bureau - 2022 American Community Survey. This is the most recent data available as of March 2024. Median family income is used to calculate individual LMI per CRA guidelines. The metric is included at the national level to serve as a similar, but not exact, comparison. [5] Turnover rates are calculated by dividing the total terminations for the period by the average number of employees who worked during or received pay for the same period. National turnover includes private employee data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics - Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. [6] Medical Care Benefits are plans that provide services or payments for services rendered in the hospital or by a qualified medical care provider.
