As of July 31, 2024, the Company had total assets of approximately $1.14 billion.

The calculation of the Company's net asset value is a calculation of fair value of the Company's assets less the Company's outstanding liabilities.

Q: How long will this offering last?
A:

This is a continuous offering of our shares as permitted by the federal securities laws. We commenced this offering on November 1, 2021. On February 15, 2024, we filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-277103) with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Second Follow-On Offering. As permitted under applicable securities laws, we will continue to offer shares in this offering until the registration statement for the Second Follow-On Offering is declared effective, upon which the registration statement for this offering will be deemed terminated. However, our board of directors may terminate this offering at any time. As of August 1, 2024, we had received aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $624,722,000, with $31,900,000 through the distribution reinvestment plan.

Subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, we will seek effectiveness of the registration statement for the Second Follow-On Offering on or about November 1, 2024. If the registration statement for the Second Follow-On Offering is declared effective on November 1, 2024, the last monthly sweep for this offering would be held on October 31, 2024. The Second Follow-On Offering is subject to change prior to effectiveness and there is no assurance we will commence the Second Follow-On Offering. In addition, some states will require us to renew registration annually in order to continue offering our shares beyond the initial registration period in such states. An investor's ability to purchase shares and submit shares for repurchase will not be affected by the expiration of this offering and the commencement of the Second Follow-On Offering.
