Net Asset Value Form 8 K

Net Asset Value

We calculate net asset value per share in accordance with valuation policies and procedures that have been approved by our board of directors. Our transactional net asset value ("Transactional Net Asset Value") is used to determine the price at which we sell and repurchase our shares. Our GAAP net asset value ("GAAP Net Asset Value") is our net asset value determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following table provides a breakdown of the major components of our Transactional Net Asset Value as of October 31, 2024 ($ in thousands, except shares):

Components of Transactional Net Asset Value October 31, 2024
Investments at fair value (cost of $2,724,036)
$ 3,072,740
Cash and cash equivalents 839,466
Other assets 10,371
Other liabilities (36,715)
Accrued performance participation allocation -
Accrued shareholder servicing fees and distribution fees(1)
(3,303)
Management fee payable -
Transactional Net Asset Value $ 3,882,559
Number of outstanding shares 136,050,687

(1) Shareholder servicing fees apply only to Class S, Class U, Class D, Class R-S, Class R-U and Class R-D shares. Distribution fees apply only to Class S, Class U, Class R-S and Class R-U shares. For purposes of Transactional Net Asset Value, we recognize shareholder servicing fees and distribution fees as a reduction to Transactional Net Asset Value on a monthly basis as such fees are accrued. For purposes of GAAP Net Asset Value, we accrue the cost of the shareholder servicing fees and distribution fees, as applicable, for the estimated life of the shares as an offering cost at the time we sell Class S, Class U, Class D, Class R-S, Class R-U and Class R-D shares. As of October 31, 2024 we accrued under GAAP $155,251 of shareholder servicing fees and distribution fees payable to the dealer manager related to the Class U, Class R-D and Class R-U shares sold.

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company will update its Transactional Net Asset Value calculation methodology such that the Company may exclude from the calculation of Transactional Net Asset Value as of the relevant valuation date, tax liabilities of certain taxable subsidiaries through which the Company holds portfolio companies that are contingent upon the expected manner of the divestment of the associated underlying portfolio company and are not expected to be recognized by the Company (although the current tax liabilities of any such taxable subsidiaries may be taken into account in determining the fair value of the associated underlying portfolio companies).

The following table provides a breakdown of our total Transactional Net Asset Value and our Transactional Net Asset Value per share by class as of October 31, 2024 ($ in thousands, except shares and per share data):

(1) In determining the inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic conditions, industry and market developments, market valuations of comparable companies, and company-specific developments including exit strategies and realization opportunities. The Company's manager (the "Manager") has determined that market participants would take these inputs into account when valuing the investments. "LTM" means Last Twelve Months.

(2) Inputs are weighted based on fair value of the investments included in the range.

The Manager is ultimately responsible for our net asset value calculations.

Valuations involve subjective judgments and may not accurately reflect realizable value. The assumptions above are determined by the Manager and reviewed by our independent valuation advisor. A change in these assumptions or factors would impact the calculation of the value of our assets. For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, the changes listed below would result in the following effects on our asset values:

Input Hypothetical Change
Portfolio Company Values as of October 31, 2024
Weighted Average Cost of Capital 0.25% decrease +0.74%
0.25% increase -0.71%
