_______________
(1)Unless otherwise indicated, all investments are non-controlled/non-affiliated investments as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The 1940 Act classifies investments based on the level of control that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a portfolio company is generally presumed to be “non-controlled” when the Company owns 25% or less of the portfolio company’s voting securities and “controlled” when the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s voting securities. The 1940 Act also classifies investments further based on the level of ownership that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally deemed as “non-affiliated” when the Company owns less than 5% of a portfolio company’s voting securities and “affiliated” when the Company owns 5% or more of a portfolio company’s voting securities.
(2)Refer to Note 3 "Investments" for the geographic composition of investments at cost and fair value. (3)The majority of the investments bear interest at rates that may be determined by reference to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "S"), which reset monthly or quarterly. For each such investment, the Company has provided the spread over SOFR and the current contractual interest rate in effect at March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, rates for 1M S, 3M S, 6M S, 12M S ("SOFR") are 4.32%, 4.29%, 4.19%, and 4.01% respectively. Certain investments are subject to a SOFR floor or may utilize an alternative reference rate such as U.S. Prime Rate (“P”). For fixed rate loans, a spread above a reference rate is not applicable.
(4)Investment valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policies – Valuation of Portfolio Investments” and Note 5 "Fair Value Measurements" for more information. (5)Percentage is based on net assets of $920,020 as of March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, total non-qualifying assets at fair value represented 3.93% of the Company's total assets calculated in accordance with the 1940 Act.
(11)Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded portion, although the investment may be subject to unused commitment fees.

The unfunded loan commitment may be subject to a commitment termination date that may expire prior to the maturity date stated. See Note 8 "Commitments and Contingencies". (12)Denotes that all or a portion of the assets are owned by the Company or NCDL Equity Holdings (each as defined in Note 1 "Organization").

The 1940 Act also classifies investments further based on the level of ownership that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally deemed as “non-affiliated” when the Company owns less than 5% of a portfolio company’s voting securities and “affiliated” when the Company owns 5% or more of a portfolio company’s voting securities.

1. ORGANIZATION
Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”, which refers to either Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp. or Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, as the context may require), is a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Company has elected, and intends to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Effective June 1, 2020, the Company changed its name from “Nuveen Churchill BDC, Inc.” to “Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp.”
The Company’s investment objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns primarily through current income by investing primarily in senior secured loans to private equity-owned U.S. middle market companies, which the Company defines as companies with approximately $10 million to $250 million of annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The Company primarily focuses on investing in U.S. middle market companies with $10 million to $100 million in EBITDA, which it considers the core middle market. The Company's portfolio is comprised primarily of first-lien senior secured debt and unitranche loans. Although it is not the Company's primary strategy, the Company also opportunistically invests in junior capital opportunities, including second-lien loans, subordinated debt, and equity co-investments and similar equity-related securities.
The Company entered into the Advisory Agreement with Churchill DLC Advisor LLC (f/k/a Nuveen Churchill Advisors LLC) (the “Adviser”), under which the Adviser has delegated substantially all of its day-to-day portfolio management obligations through the CAM Sub-Advisory Agreement with Churchill Asset Management LLC (“Churchill”). In addition, the Adviser and Churchill have entered into the NAM Sub-Advisory Agreement with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen Asset Management” and, together with the Adviser and Churchill, the “Advisers”), pursuant to which Nuveen Asset Management may manage a portion of the Company's portfolio consisting of cash and cash equivalents, liquid fixed-income securities (including broadly syndicated loans) and other liquid credit instruments, subject to the pace and amount of investment activity in the middle market investment program. Under the Administration Agreement, the Company is provided with certain services by an administrator, Churchill BDC Administration LLC (f/k/a Nuveen Churchill Administration LLC) (the “Administrator”). The Advisers and Administrator are all affiliates and subsidiaries of Nuveen, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). See Note 6, Related Party Transactions. Churchill NCDLC CLO-I, LLC (“CLO-I”), Churchill NCDLC CLO-II, LLC (“CLO-II”), Churchill NCDLC CLO-III, LLC (“CLO-III”), Nuveen Churchill BDC SPV IV, LLC (“SPV IV”), Nuveen Churchill BDC SPV V, LLC (“SPV V”) and NCDL Equity Holdings LLC ("NCDL Equity Holdings") are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and are consolidated in these financial statements commencing from the date of their respective formation, in accordance with the Company's consolidation policy discussed in Note 2. CLO-I, CLO-II and CLO-III have completed term debt securitizations. SPV IV and SPV V primarily invest in first-lien senior secured debt and unitranche loans. NCDL Equity Holdings was formed to hold certain equity-related securities. Beginning with its initial closing in March 2020, the Company conducted private offerings ("Private Offerings") of its shares of common stock to accredited investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Company held its final closing on April 28, 2023.
On January 29, 2024, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”). The Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “NCDL” on January 25, 2024.

The Company is an investment company for the purposes of accounting and financial reporting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 6 and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim period presented, have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates based on assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and restricted cash represent cash deposits held at financial institutions, which at times may exceed U.S. federally insured limits. Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, that are readily convertible to cash and have original maturities of three months or less. Cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. As of March 31, 2025, the Company did not hold any restricted cash. As of December 31, 2024, the Company held $50 of restricted cash.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
Investments, including derivative instruments, are valued in accordance with the fair value principles established by FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC Topic 820”), and in accordance with the 1940 Act. ASC Topic 820’s definition of fair value focuses on the amount that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in the principal or most advantageous market, and prioritizes the use of market-based inputs (observable) over entity-specific inputs (unobservable) within a measurement of fair value.
ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings, and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below:
•Level 1 — Valuations are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.

Active, publicly traded instruments are classified as Level 1 and their values are generally based on quoted market prices, even if both the market’s normal daily trading volume is not sufficient to absorb the quantity held and placing orders to sell the position in a single transaction might affect the quoted price.
Fair value is generally determined as the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly market is available for the market participants at the measurement date. If available, fair value of investments is based on directly observable market prices or on market data derived from comparable assets. The Company’s valuation policy considers the fact that no ready market may exist for many of the securities in which it invests and that fair value for its investments must be determined using unobservable inputs. Derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, are modeled using market prices for reference securities, yield curves, volatility assumptions and correlations of such inputs.
Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Company's board of directors (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as the Company's valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to determine the fair value of the Company's investments that do not have readily available market quotations. Pursuant to the Company's valuation policy approved by the Board, a valuation committee comprised of employees of the Adviser (the “Valuation Committee”) is responsible for determining the fair value of the Company’s assets for which market quotations are not readily available, subject to the oversight of the Board.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available (Level 3), the Valuation Designee, subject to the oversight of the Board as described below, defined further below in Note 6, undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as follows: i.the quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by either the professionals of the applicable investment team that are responsible for the portfolio investment or an independent third-party valuation firm;
ii.to the extent that an independent third-party valuation firm has not been engaged by, or on behalf of, the Company to value 100% of the portfolio, then at a minimum, an independent third-party valuation firm will be engaged by, or on behalf of, the Company to provide positive assurance of the portfolio each quarter (such that each investment is reviewed by a third-party valuation firm at least once on a rolling 12-month basis and each watch-list investment will be reviewed each quarter), including a review of management’s preliminary valuation and recommendation of fair value;
iii.the Valuation Committee then reviews and discusses the valuations with any input, where appropriate, from the independent third-party valuation firm(s), and determines the fair value of each investment in good faith based on the Company’s valuation policy, subject to the oversight of the Board; and
iv.the Valuation Designee provides the Board with the information relating to the fair value determination pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy in connection with each quarterly Board meeting, complies with the periodic board reporting requirements set forth in the Company’s valuation policy, and discusses with the Board its determination of the fair value of each investment in good faith.
The Valuation Designee makes this fair value determination on a quarterly basis and in such other instances when a decision regarding the fair value of the portfolio investments is required. Factors considered by the Valuation Designee as part of the valuation of investments include each portfolio company's credit ratings/risk, current and projected earnings, current and expected leverage, ability to make interest and principal payments, liquidity, compliance with applicable loan covenants, and price to earnings (or other financial) ratios and those of comparable companies, as well as the estimated remaining life of the investment and current market yields and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. Other factors taken into account include changes in the interest rate environment and credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments would trade. The Valuation Designee also may base its valuation of an investment on recent transactions of investments and securities with similar structure and risk characteristics. The Valuation Designee obtains market data from its ongoing investment purchase efforts, in addition to monitoring transactions that have closed or are discussed in industry publications. External information may include (but is not limited to) observable market data derived from the U.S. loan and equity markets. As part of compiling market data as an indication of current market conditions, the Valuation Designee may utilize third-party sources.
The values assigned to investments are based on available information and may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, such values do not necessarily represent the amount that ultimately might be realized upon a portfolio investment's sale. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated fair value of an investment may differ from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the security existed, and the difference could be material.

The Board is responsible for overseeing the Valuation Designee’s process for determining the fair value of the Company’s assets for which market quotations are not readily available, taking into account the Company’s valuation risks. To facilitate the Board’s oversight of the valuation process, the Valuation Designee provides the Board with quarterly reports, annual reports, and prompt reporting of material matters affecting the Valuation Designee’s determination of fair value. As part of the Board’s oversight role, the Board may request and review additional information to be informed of the Valuation Designee’s process for determining the fair value of the Company's investments.
Investment Transactions and Revenue Recognition
Investment transactions are recorded on the applicable trade date. Any amounts related to purchases, sales and principal paydowns that have traded, but not settled, are reflected as either a receivable for investments sold or payable for investments purchased on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds received from repayments and sales and the cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized are included as net realized gain (loss) on investments in the consolidated statements of operations. Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and reflects the period-to-period change in fair value and cost of investments, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.
Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on loans, and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. The Company accrues interest income if it expects that ultimately it will be able to collect such income.
The Company may have loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) income provisions. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity. This non-cash source of income is included when determining what must be paid out to shareholders in the form of distributions in order for the Company to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC, even though the Company has not yet collected cash. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company earned $2,365 and $1,992, respectively, in PIK income provisions representing 4.41% and 3.86% of total investment income, respectively.
Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company earned $0 and $308, respectively, of dividend income on its equity investments.
Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, and prepayment fees associated with the Company’s investment activities, as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by the Company to its portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company earned other income of $375 and $217, respectively, primarily related to prepayment and amendment fees.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when a payment default occurs or if management otherwise believes that the issuer of the loan will not be able to make contractual interest payments or principal payments. The Company will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, the Company remains contractually entitled to this interest. The Company may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. Accrued interest is written-off when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest is generally reversed through PIK income. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had investments in two portfolio companies on non-accrual status with an aggregate fair value of $7,269 which represented approximately 0.35% of total investments at fair value. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had investments in one portfolio company on non-accrual status with an aggregate fair value of $1,896, which represented approximately 0.09% of total investments at fair value.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated financial statements, pursuant to ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, further clarified by the FASB’s issuance of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the 2030 Notes (as defined below) and therefore both the periodic payment and the change in fair value for the effective hedge, if applicable, are recognized as components of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company designated its interest rate swap as a hedging instrument in a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship, and as a result, the net change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in the same line item of the consolidated statements of operations as the hedged item.
Derivative instruments are expressed in terms of the notional contract amount and derive their value based upon one or more underlying instruments. While the notional amount gives some indication of the Company's derivative activity, it generally is not exchanged, but is only used as the basis on which interest and other payments are exchanged. Derivative instruments are subject to various risks similar to non-derivative instruments, including market liquidity and operational risks. The Company manages these risks on an aggregate basis as part of its risk management process.
Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Issuance Costs
Deferred financing and debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These expenses are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of the related debt instrument. The unamortized balance of such costs is included as a direct deduction from the related liability in the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The amortization of such costs is included in interest and debt financing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Equity Offering Costs
Equity offering costs include registration expenses related to any shelf registration statement filed by the Company. These expenses consist primarily of SEC registration fees, legal fees and accounting fees incurred related thereto. Upon the completion of an equity offering, the deferred expenses are charged to additional paid-in capital. The Adviser paid the offering costs associated with the IPO on behalf of the Company. The Company is not obligated to reimburse any such offering costs paid by the Adviser.
Income Taxes
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company has elected, and intends to qualify annually, to be treated as a RIC under the Code; however, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to qualify for and maintain RIC tax status. In order to qualify as a RIC, the Company must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then the Company is generally subject to U.S. federal income taxes only on the portion of its taxable income and capital gains it does not distribute.
The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs generally require the Company to timely distribute (or be deemed to distribute) to its shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (“ICTI”), as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.
In addition, based on the excise distribution requirements, the Company is subject to a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Company distributes (or is deemed to distribute) in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of the amount by which the Company's capital gain exceeds its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the one-year period ended October 31 in that calendar year and (3) certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company that is subject to U.S. federal income tax is considered to have been distributed. The Company intends to timely distribute to our shareholders substantially all of our annual taxable income for each year, except that the Company may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment and, depending upon the level of taxable income earned in a year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI for distribution in the following year and pay any applicable U.S. federal excise tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company did not incur any excise tax expense.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely than not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. CLO-I, CLO-II, CLO-III, SPV IV and SPV V are disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are consolidated with the tax return of the Company. NCDL Equity Holdings has elected to be classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes, if any, are included in income tax expense.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
To the extent that the Company has taxable income, the Company intends to continue to make quarterly distributions to its common shareholders. Dividends and distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the applicable record date. The amount to be distributed to common shareholders is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the taxable earnings estimated by management and available cash. Net realized capital gains, if any, will generally be distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.
In connection with the IPO, the Board approved an amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan (the "Amended DRIP"), which became effective on January 29, 2024, concurrent with the consummation of the IPO.
The Amended DRIP changed the dividend reinvestment plan from an “opt in” dividend reinvestment plan to an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan. As a result of the foregoing, if the Board authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend or distribution, shareholders that acquired their shares in the IPO and do not “opt out” of the Amended DRIP will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares rather than receiving cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a shareholder’s election (or deemed election) under the dividend reinvestment plan, dated December 19, 2019, will remain in effect for such shareholder, and no further action is required by such shareholder with respect to their election under the Amended DRIP.
With respect to each distribution under the Amended DRIP, the Company reserves the right to either issue new shares of common stock or purchase shares of common stock in the open market for the accounts of participants in the Amended DRIP. If newly issued shares are used to implement the Amended DRIP, the number of shares to be issued to a shareholder will be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such participant by the market price per share of the Company's common stock at the close of regular trading of the NYSE on the distribution payment date, or if no sale is reported for such day, the average of the reported bid and ask prices. However, if the market price per share on the distribution payment date exceeds the most recently computed net asset value ("NAV") per share, the Company will issue shares at the greater of (i) the most recently computed NAV per share and (ii) 95% of the current market price per share (or such lesser discount to the current market price per share that still exceeds the most recently computed NAV per share). If shares are purchased in the open market to implement the Amended DRIP, the number of shares to be issued to a participant will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution payable to such participant by the weighted average price per share for all shares of common stock purchased by the plan administrator in the open market in connection with the dividend or distribution. Although each participant may from time to time have an undivided fractional interest in a share, no certificates for a fractional share will be issued. However, dividends and distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participant’s account.
Functional Currency
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar and all transactions were in U.S. Dollars.

Segment Reporting
The Company is externally managed and has a single reportable segment in accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), which derives investment income from its portfolio of investments. The Company's accounting policies are further described above in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies. The chief operating decision makers assesses performance for the Company based on net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) from investments, and net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which are reported on the consolidated statements of operations. The chief operating decision makers also may assess the Company's performance by completing an industry benchmarking analysis using the metrics disclosed in Note 11, Consolidated Financial Highlights. The Company's chief operating decision makers are the Company's investment committee, which is comprised of senior investment personnel of the Churchill investment teams, and the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Subject to the overall supervision of the Board, Churchill manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory and management services to, the Company. All investment decisions for the Company require the unanimous approval of the members of the investment committee. The information and operating expense categories included in the consolidated statements of operations are fully reflective of the significant expense categories and amounts that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision makers.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 improve financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This information generally is not presented in the financial statements today. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.

4. DERIVATIVES
The Company enters into derivative instruments in the normal course of business to achieve certain risk management objectives, including managing its interest rate risk exposures.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Company mitigate its counterparty risk, the Company may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or a similar agreement with its derivative counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Company and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including interest swaps, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.
On January 22, 2025, in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes (defined below in Note 7), the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") for a total notional amount of $300,000 that matures on March 15, 2030. Under the interest rate swap agreement for the 2030 Notes, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 6.65% and pays a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR + 2.3015%. The Company held no derivative instruments as of December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the interest rate swap was in a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship.

Debt investments are generally valued using the yield method. Under the yield method, a price is ascribed for each investment based upon an assessment of current and expected market yields for similar investments and risk profiles. Additional consideration is given to the expected life, portfolio company performance since close, and other terms and risks associated with an investment. Among other factors, a determinant of risk is the amount of leverage used by the portfolio company relative to its total enterprise value, and the rights and remedies of the Company’s investment within the portfolio company’s capital structure. Debt investments also may be valued using a market approach. The market approach utilizes market value (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. Certain factors are considered when selecting the appropriate companies whose multiples are used in the valuation. These factors may include the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, and relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. A recent transaction, if applicable, also may be factored into the valuation if the transaction price is believed to be an indicator of value.
Equity investments are generally valued using a market approach, which utilizes market value (EBITDA or revenue) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The selected multiple is used to estimate the enterprise value of the underlying investment.
The significant unobservable input used under the yield method is a discount rate based on comparable market yields. Significant increases in discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. The significant unobservable input used in the market approach is the performance multiple, which may include a revenue multiple, EBITDA multiple, or forward-looking metrics. The multiple is used to estimate the enterprise value of the underlying investment. An increase or decrease in the multiple would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Advisory Agreements
On December 31, 2019, immediately prior to its election to be regulated as a BDC, the Company entered into the investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. On January 29, 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), which became effective upon the consummation of the IPO on January 29, 2024.
On December 31, 2019, immediately prior to the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC, the Adviser entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement with Churchill, which was subsequently amended and restated on December 11, 2020, October 7, 2021 and March 8, 2022 (the “CAM Sub-Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser has delegated substantially all of its day-to-day portfolio-management obligations under the Advisory Agreement to Churchill pursuant to the CAM Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Adviser has general oversight over the investment process on behalf of the Company and manages the capital structure of the Company, including, but not limited to, asset and liability management. The Adviser also has ultimate responsibility for the Company’s performance under the terms of the Advisory Agreement. The Adviser retains 32.5% of the management fee and incentive fee payable by the Company. The remaining amount is paid by the Adviser to Churchill as compensation for services provided by Churchill pursuant to the CAM Sub-Advisory Agreement.

On January 29, 2024, the Adviser and Churchill entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement with Nuveen Asset Management (the “NAM Sub-Advisory Agreement”, and together with the Advisory Agreement and the CAM Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”), pursuant to which Nuveen Asset Management may manage a portion of the Company’s portfolio consisting of cash and cash equivalents, liquid fixed-income securities (including broadly syndicated loans) and other liquid credit instruments (“Liquid Investments”), subject to the pace and amount of investment activity in the middle market investment program. The Company typically refers to an investment as liquid if the investment is, or we expect it to be, actively traded (with a typical settlement period of one month with respect to broadly syndicated loans). The percentage of the Company’s portfolio allocated to the Liquid Investments strategy managed by Nuveen Asset Management is at the discretion of Churchill. The fees payable to Nuveen Asset Management pursuant to the NAM Sub-Advisory Agreement to manage the Company’s Liquid Investment allocation is payable by Churchill and does not impact the advisory fees payable by the Company’s shareholders. Churchill will pay Nuveen Asset Management monthly in arrears 0.375% of the daily weighted average principal amount of the Liquid Investments managed by Nuveen Asset Management pursuant to the NAM Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Advisory agreements remain in effect for an initial period of two years from its respective effective date and will remain in effect on a year-to-year basis thereafter if approved annually either by the Board or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities and, in each case, a majority of our Independent Directors. Each Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act, by the applicable investment adviser and may be terminated by either the Company or the applicable investment adviser without penalty upon not less than 60 days’ written notice to the other. The holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities may also terminate any of the Advisory Agreements without penalty.
Compensation of the Adviser - Management Fee
Under the Advisory Agreement, for the first five quarters beginning with the calendar quarter in which the IPO was consummated (i.e., beginning with the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2024 through the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2025), the management fee was calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of average total assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents and including assets financed using leverage (“Average Total Assets”), at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and thereafter, the management fee will step up to 1.00% of Average Total Assets. For purposes of this calculation, cash and cash equivalents include any temporary investments in cash-equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high quality investment grade debt investments that mature in 12 months or less from the date of investment. Any management fees will be payable quarterly in arrears.
Compensation of the Adviser - Incentive Fee
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser waived the incentive fee on income and incentive fee on capital gains for the first five quarters beginning with the calendar quarter in which the IPO was consummated (i.e., beginning with the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2024 through the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2025). Following the expiration of the fee waiver, the Company will pay an incentive fee to the Adviser that will consist of two parts. The incentive fees will be based on income and capital gains, each as described below. The portion of the incentive fee based on income will be calculated subject to a cap (the “Incentive Fee Cap”) and payable quarterly in arrears based on pre-incentive fee net investment income in respect of the current calendar quarter and the eleven preceding calendar quarters (or, if fewer, the number of calendar quarters beginning with the calendar quarter in which the IPO was consummated) (such period, the “Trailing Twelve Quarters”) commencing from the beginning of the calendar quarter in which the IPO was consummated, as follows:
•no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the aggregate pre-incentive fee net investment income (as defined below) in respect of the Trailing Twelve Quarters does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.50% (6% annually) for such Trailing Twelve Quarters;
•100% of our aggregate pre-incentive fee net investment income in respect of the Trailing Twelve Quarters with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 1.7647% in any calendar quarter following the consummation of the IPO. The Company refers to this portion of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as the “catch-up” provision. The catch-up is meant to provide the Adviser with 15% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 1.7647% multiplied by our NAV at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters; and
•15% of the aggregate pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, in respect of the Trailing Twelve Quarters that exceeds 1.7647%.
NUVEEN CHURCHILL DIRECT LENDING CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Under the Advisory Agreement, the incentive fee on income for a particular quarter will be subject to the Incentive Fee Cap. The Incentive Fee Cap will be equal to the difference between (x) 15% of the Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return (as defined below) over the Trailing Twelve Quarters and (y) the aggregate incentive fee on income that was paid to the Adviser by the Company in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters (or, if fewer, the number of calendar quarters beginning with the calendar quarter in which the IPO was consummated) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. These calculations will be adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the applicable calendar quarter.
“Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return” during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters, beginning with the calendar quarter in which the IPO was consummated, means (x) the pre-incentive fee net investment income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters less (y) any Net Capital Loss (as defined below), if any, in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, the Company will pay no incentive fee on income to the Adviser in respect of that quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is a positive value but is less than the incentive fee on income that is payable to the Adviser for such quarter calculated as described above, the Company will pay an incentive fee on income to the Adviser equal to the Incentive Fee Cap in respect of such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is equal to or greater than the incentive fee on income that is payable to the Adviser for such quarter calculated as described above, the Company will pay an incentive fee on income to the Adviser equal to the incentive fee calculated as described above for such quarter without regard to the Incentive Fee Cap.
“Net Capital Loss” in respect of a particular period, beginning with the calendar quarter in which the IPO was consummated, means the difference, if positive, between (i) aggregate capital losses, whether realized or unrealized, in respect of such period and (ii) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized, in respect of such period.
Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the relevant calendar quarters, minus operating expenses for the relevant calendar quarters (including the management fee, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (as defined below), interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income will include, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred shares with PIK dividends and zero-coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. The Adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse the Company for any part of the incentive fee it received that was based on accrued interest that the Company never received. Pre-incentive fee net investment income will not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital gains or losses. If any distributions from portfolio companies are characterized as a return of capital, such returns of capital would affect the capital gains incentive fee to the extent a gain or loss is realized.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the second part of the incentive fee will be a capital gains incentive fee that will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 15.0% of our realized capital gains as of the end of the fiscal year following the IPO. In no event will the capital gains incentive fee payable pursuant to the Advisory Agreement be in excess of the amount permitted by the Advisers Act, including Section 205 thereof.
In determining the capital gains incentive fee payable to the Adviser, the Company will calculate the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains and cumulative aggregate realized capital losses beginning with the calendar quarter in which the IPO was consummated, and the aggregate unrealized capital depreciation as of the date of the calculation, as applicable, with respect to each of the investments in our portfolio. For this purpose, cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equals the sum of the differences between the net sales price of each investment when sold and the amortized cost of such investment. Cumulative aggregate realized capital losses equals the sum of the amounts by which the net sales price of each investment when sold is less than the amortized cost of such investment beginning with the calendar quarter in which this offering is consummated. Aggregate unrealized capital depreciation equals the sum of the difference, if negative, between the valuation of each investment as of the applicable calculation date and the amortized cost of such investment. At the end of the applicable year, the amount of capital gains that will serve as the basis for the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee equals the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains less cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and less aggregate unrealized capital depreciation with respect to our portfolio of investments.

The notes offered in the 2022 Debt Securitization (the “2022 Notes”) were issued by CLO-I, an indirect, wholly owned, consolidated subsidiary of the Company.

The 2022 Loans bore interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 1.80% and were fully drawn upon the closing of the transactions. Any Lender may elect to convert all of the Class A-L 2022 Loans held by such Lenders into Class A-1 2022 Notes upon written notice to CLO-I in accordance with the CLO-I Loan Agreement.

Through April 20, 2026, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by CLO-I to purchase new collateral under the direction of the Company, in its capacity as collateral manager of CLO-I and in accordance with the Company’s investment strategy, allowing the Company to maintain the initial leverage in the 2022 Debt Securitization.
The 2022 Debt was the secured obligation of CLO-I, and the indenture and the CLO-I Loan Agreement, as applicable, governing the 2022 Debt includes customary covenants and events of default. The 2022 Debt was not registered under the Securities Act, or any state “blue sky” laws.

Share Repurchase Plan
On March 5, 2024, the Company entered into a share repurchase plan (the “Company 10b5-1 Plan”), pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $99,275 in the aggregate of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market at prices below its NAV per share over a specified period. Any purchase of the shares pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan are conducted in accordance with the guidelines and conditions of Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company adopted the Company 10b5-1 Plan because it believes that, if its common stock is trading below its then-current NAV per share, it will be in the best interest of its stockholders for the Company to reinvest in its portfolio.
The Company 10b5-1 Plan is designed to allow the Company to repurchase its shares of common stock at times when the Company otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws. The Company 10b5-1 Plan requires BofA Securities, Inc., as agent, to repurchase shares of common stock on the Company's behalf when the market price per share is below the most recently reported NAV per share (including any updates, corrections or adjustments publicly announced by the Company to any previously announced NAV per share). Under the Company 10b5-1 Plan, the agent will increase the volume of purchases made as the price of the shares of the Company's common stock declines, subject to volume restrictions. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will depend on the terms and conditions of the Company 10b5-1 Plan, the market price of the shares of the Company's common stock and trading volumes, and no assurance can be given that any particular amount of shares of the common stock will be repurchased.
The Company 10b5-1 Plan became effective on March 29, 2024, commenced on April 1, 2024 and was amended on March 28, 2025. The amendment on March 28, 2025, (a) extended the Company 10b5-1 Plan for an additional 12-month period, and (b) amended certain terms of the Company 10b5-1 Plan as set forth in the guidelines thereto. As a result of the foregoing, the Company 10b5-1 Plan will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 12-months from March 29, 2025 (tolled for periods during which the Company 10b5-1 Plan is suspended), (ii) the end of the trading day on which the aggregate purchase price for all shares of common stock purchased under the Company 10b5-1 Plan equals $99,275 and (iii) the occurrence of certain other events described in the Company 10b5-1 Plan.

Overview
We were formed on March 13, 2018 as a Delaware limited liability company and converted into a Maryland corporation on June 18, 2019, prior to the commencement of operations. We are a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, we have elected, and intend to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Our investment objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns primarily through current income by investing primarily in senior secured loans to private equity-owned U.S. middle market companies, which we define as companies with approximately $10 million to $250 million of annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). We primarily focus on investing in U.S. middle market companies, with $10 million to $100 million in EBITDA, which we consider the core middle market. Our portfolio is comprised primarily of first-lien senior secured debt and unitranche loans. Although it is not our primary strategy, we also opportunistically invest in junior capital opportunities, including second-lien loans, subordinated debt, and equity co-investments and similar equity-related securities.
We have entered into an investment advisory agreement (as amended and restated, the “Advisory Agreement”) with Churchill DLC Advisor LLC (f/k/a Nuveen Churchill Advisors LLC) (the “Adviser”), under which the Adviser has delegated substantially all of its day-to-day portfolio management obligations through a sub-advisory agreement (as amended and restated, the “CAM Sub-Advisory Agreement”) to Churchill Asset Management LLC (“Churchill”). In addition, the Adviser and Churchill have engaged Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen Asset Management” and together with the Adviser and Churchill, the "Advisers") pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement (the "NAM Sub-Advisory Agreement"), pursuant to which Nuveen Asset Management may manage a portion of our portfolio consisting of cash and cash equivalents, liquid fixed-income securities (including broadly syndicated loans) and other liquid credit instruments, subject to the pace and amount of investment activity in the middle market investment program. Under the administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”), we are provided with certain services by an administrator, Churchill BDC Administration LLC (f/k/a Nuveen Churchill Administration LLC) (the “Administrator”). The Adviser, Churchill, Nuveen Asset Management and Administrator are all affiliates and subsidiaries of Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”).
Churchill NCDLC CLO-I, LLC (“CLO-I”), Churchill NCDLC CLO-II, LLC (“CLO-II”), Churchill NCDLC CLO-III, LLC (“CLO-III”), Nuveen Churchill BDC SPV IV, LLC (“SPV IV”), Nuveen Churchill BDC SPV V, LLC (“SPV V”) and NCDL Equity Holdings LLC ("NCDL Equity Holdings") are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and are consolidated in these financial statements commencing from the date of their formation. CLO-I, CLO-II and CLO-III have completed term debt securitizations. SPV IV and SPV V primarily invest in first-lien senior secured debt and unitranche loans. NCDL Equity Holdings was formed to hold certain equity-related securities.
Beginning with our initial closing in March 2020, we conducted private offerings ("Private Offerings") of our shares of common stock to accredited investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). We held our final closing on April 28, 2023.
On January 29, 2024, we closed our initial public offering (“IPO”) and our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “NCDL” on January 25, 2024.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Investments
Our level of investment activity varies substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount we have available to invest, as well as the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity in the middle market, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.
To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements.
As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we are generally required to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.
As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Under the 1940 Act, the term “eligible portfolio company” includes all private companies, companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, and certain public companies that have listed their securities on a national securities exchange and have a market capitalization of less than $250.0 million. In addition, we must be organized in the United States to qualify as a BDC.
Revenues
We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments we hold. In addition, we may generate income from dividends on direct equity investments and capital gains on the sales of loans or debt and equity securities. Our debt investments generally bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Interest on these debt investments is generally paid quarterly. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we may receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity dates. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity also may reflect the proceeds of sales of securities. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, consulting or prepayment fees associated with our investment activities as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by us to portfolio companies and other investment related income.
Expenses
The Adviser, Churchill, Nuveen Asset Management and their respective affiliates are responsible for bearing the compensation and routine overhead expenses allocable to personnel providing investment advisory and management services to us.

As of March 31, 2025, our debt portfolio reflected the following characteristics, based on fair value:
•Weighted average reported annual EBITDA of $76.3 million.1
•Weighted average of 2.36x interest coverage ratio for our first-lien loans2
•Weighted average of 4.92x net leverage.3
•Approximately 85% of our debt investments have financial covenants.4
________________________________________
1 These calculations include all private debt investments for which fair value is determined by the Adviser in its capacity as the Valuation Designee of the Company's board of directors (the “Board”) and excludes quoted assets. Amounts are weighted based on fair market value of each respective investment as of its most recent quarterly valuation, which are derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements.
2 The interest coverage ratio calculation is derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial information received by the Adviser and is a weighted average based on the fair market value of each respective first lien loan investment as of its most recent reporting to lenders. Such reporting may include assumptions regarding the impact of interest rate hedges established by borrowers to reduce their exposure to floating interest rates (resulting in a reduced hedging rate being used for the total interest expense in respect of such hedges, rather than any higher rates applicable under the documentation for such loans), even if such hedging instruments are not pledged as collateral to lenders in respect of such loans and do not secure the loans themselves. The interest rate coverage ratio excludes junior capital investments and equity co-investments and applies solely to traditional middle market first lien loans held by us, which also excludes any upper middle market or other first lien loans investments that do not have maintenance financial covenants and first lien loans that the Adviser has assigned a risk rating of ‘8’ or higher, as
well as any portfolio companies with net senior leverage of 15x or greater. As a result of the foregoing exclusions, the interest coverage ratio shown herein applies to 76.41% of our total investments, and 84.43% of our total first lien loan investments, in each case based upon fair value.
3 Net leverage is the ratio of total debt minus cash divided by EBITDA, taking into account only the debt issued through the tranche in which we are a lender. Leverage is derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements and weighted by the fair value of each investment. Net leverage presented excludes equity investments as well as debt instruments to which the Adviser has assigned a risk rating of 8 or higher and any portfolio companies with net leverage of 15x or greater.
4 Represents the percentage of debt investments with one or more maintenance financial covenants.

The weighted average yield of our debt and income producing securities is not the same as a return on investment for our shareholders, but rather relates to our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of our and our subsidiaries’ fees and expenses. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates as of each respective date, including accretion of original issue discount, but excluding any investments on non-accrual status, if any. There can be no assurance that the weighted average yield will remain at its current level. Total weighted average yields of our debt and income producing investments, at cost, decreased from 10.33% to 10.10% from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025. The decrease in weighted average yields was primarily due to lower base interest rates.
Private equity mergers and acquisitions ("M&A") activity slowed in the first quarter of 2025 as investors sought to understand the impact of tariffs on private businesses. Prepayment activity in the first quarter of 2025 returned to normalized levels, primarily as a result of refinancings, as spreads remain attractive to borrowers. While prepayments serve as an offset to new transaction activity, we believe that lenders who are well positioned with available liquidity, as well as incumbent positions in portfolio companies, will benefit from the refinancing activity in the market.
Changes to trade policies, including the imposition of new tariffs by the current administration, could disrupt supply chains and may negatively impact the financial condition of certain of our portfolio companies as well as the macro-economic environment. In light of these changes, we are closely monitoring the impacts to our portfolio companies, and we will continue to seek to invest in defensive businesses with low levels of cyclicality, strong levels of free cash flow generation, and multiple channels to source products or materials. While we are not seeing signs of a broad-based deterioration in our performance or that of our portfolio companies at this time, there can be no assurance that the performance of certain of our portfolio companies will not be negatively impacted by economic conditions, which could have a negative impact on our future results.
Asset Quality
In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, we use the Advisers’ investment rating system to characterize and monitor the credit profile and expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. Churchill, in its capacity as sub-adviser, utilizes a systematic, consistent approach to credit evaluation, with a particular focus on an acceptable level of debt repayment and deleveraging under a “base case” set of projections (the “Base Case”), which reflects a more conservative estimate than the set of projections provided by a prospective portfolio company (the “Management Case”). The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:
1.Performing - Superior: Borrower is performing significantly above Management Case.
2.Performing - High: Borrower is performing at or near the Management Case (i.e., in a range slightly below to slightly above).
3.Performing - Low Risk: Borrower is operating well ahead of the Base Case to slightly below the Management Case.
4.Performing - Stable Risk: Borrower is operating at or near the Base Case (i.e., in a range slightly below to slightly above). This is the initial rating assigned to all new borrowers.
5.Performing - Management Notice: Borrower is operating below the Base Case. Adverse trends in business conditions and/or industry outlook are viewed as temporary. There is no immediate risk of payment default and only a low to moderate risk of covenant default.
6.Watch List - Low Maintenance: Borrower is operating below the Base Case, with declining margin of protection. Adverse trends in business conditions and/or industry outlook are viewed as probably lasting for more than a year. Payment default is still considered unlikely, but there is a moderate to high risk of covenant default.
7.Watch List - Medium Maintenance: Borrower is operating well below the Base Case, but has adequate liquidity. Adverse trends are more pronounced than in Internal Risk Rating 6 above. There is a high risk of covenant default, or it may have already occurred. Payments are current, although subject to greater uncertainty, and there is a moderate to high risk of payment default.
8.Watch List - High Maintenance: Borrower is operating well below the Base Case. Liquidity may be strained. Covenant default is imminent or may have occurred. Payments are current, but there is a high risk of payment default. Negotiations to restructure or refinance debt on normal terms may have begun. Further significant deterioration appears unlikely and no loss of principal is currently anticipated.
9.Watch List - Possible Loss: At the current level of operations and financial condition, the borrower does not have the ability to service and ultimately repay or refinance all outstanding debt on current terms. Liquidity is strained. Payment default may have occurred or is very likely in the short term unless creditors grant some relief. Loss of principal is possible.
10.Watch List - Probable Loss: At the current level of operations and financial condition, the borrower does not have the ability to service and ultimately repay or refinance all outstanding debt on current terms. Payment default is very likely or may have already occurred. Liquidity is extremely limited. The prospects for improvement in the borrower’s situation are sufficiently negative that loss of some or all principal is probable.
Churchill regularly monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment rating assigned to each investment in our portfolio. Each investment team will review the investment ratings in connection with monthly or quarterly portfolio reviews.
The following table shows the investment ratings of the investments in our portfolio (dollar amounts in thousands):

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted average Internal Risk Rating of our investment portfolio was 4.14 and 4.13, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, there were investments in two portfolio company on non-accrual. As of March 31, 2025, the amortized cost of the portfolio company on non-accrual status was $21,799, which represents approximately 1.03% of total investments at amortized cost. As of December 31, 2024, there was one portfolio company on non-accrual. As of December 31, 2024, the amortized cost of the portfolio company on non-accrual status was $7,257, which represents approximately 0.35% of total investments at amortized cost.

| | | | | |
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations can vary from period to period as a result of various factors, including the level of new investment commitments, expenses, the recognition of realized gains and losses, and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the investment portfolio.
Investment income
Investment income increased to $53.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $51.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to increased investment activity, offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield of our debt and income producing investments. As of March 31, 2025, the size of our portfolio increased to $2.1 billion from $1.8 billion as of March 31, 2024, at cost. As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average yield of our debt and income producing investments decreased to 10.10% from 11.55% as of March 31, 2024, at cost, primarily due to overall tightening of spreads in new investments and the decline in base interest rates. Shifting base interest rates, such as SOFR and any applicable alternate rates, may affect our investment income.
Expenses
Total expenses before waived incentive fees increased to $28.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $26.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Interest and debt financing expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to higher average daily borrowings and expenses relating to the termination of the Wells Fargo Financing Facility and the CLO-I Refinancing (each as defined below) during the period. Average daily borrowings increased during the period primarily due to the issuance of the 2030 Notes (defined below) on January 22, 2025 and the increase in commitments on the Revolving Credit Facility (defined below) on October 4, 2024 and April 9, 2024. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded $1.36 million of non-recurring interest and debt financing expenses relating to the acceleration of deferred financing costs relating to the termination of our Wells Fargo Financing Facility and the CLO-I Refinancing. The average daily borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $1.2 billion compared to $819.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The average annual interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 6.57% compared to 7.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Management fees increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the comparable periods in 2024 driven by an increase in our total assets. Incentive fees based on income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 of $2.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, were waived in accordance with our Advisory Agreement.
Professional fees include legal, audit, tax, valuation, and other professional fees incurred related to the management of the Company. Administrative fees represent fees paid to the Administrator for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer, and their respective staffs. Other general and administrative expenses include insurance, filing, research, rating agencies, subscriptions and other costs. Professional, administration, and other general and administrative fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $1.4 million compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net realized gain (loss) and Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net realized gain on investments of $1.1 million compared to a net realized loss of $(3.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The net realized gain for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by realized gains from full or partial repayments and sales of investments in portfolio companies.
We recorded a net change in unrealized loss of $(13.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a net change in unrealized gain of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which reflects the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio relative to its cost basis over the period. The net change in unrealized loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily resulted from the underperformance of certain portfolio companies as market spreads remained relatively stable throughout the period.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Due to the diverse capital resources available to us at this time, we believe we have adequate liquidity to support our near-term capital requirements. Our liquidity and capital resources are generated primarily from cash flows from income earned from our investments and principal repayments, net proceeds of public offerings of debt securities and equity securities (including through the ATM Program, as described below), and our net borrowings from our credit facilities and CLO debt issuances (discussed further below). Due to an uncertain economic outlook and current market volatility, we regularly evaluate our overall liquidity position and take proactive steps to maintain that position based on such circumstances. The primary uses of our cash are (i) purchases of investments in portfolio companies, (ii) funding the cost of our operations (including fees paid to our Adviser), (iii) debt service, repayment and other financing costs of our borrowings, (iv) cash distributions to the holders of our shares, and (v) share repurchases under the Company 10b5-1 Plan (defined below).
To facilitate public offerings of equity securities and debt securities, on December 20, 2024, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC that is effective for a three-year term, expiring on December 20, 2027. As a well-known seasoned issuer, we are permitted to register an indeterminate number of securities under the shelf registration statement and, therefore, there is no specific dollar limit on the amount of securities we may issue. The shelf registration statement permits us to offer, from time to time, our common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights to purchase shares of our common stock, debt securities or warrants representing rights to purchase shares of our common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, in one or more underwritten public offerings, at-the-market offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades, best efforts or a combination of these methods. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement at the time of any offering.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our debt consisted of asset based leverage facilities, a revolving credit facility, debt securitizations, and an unsecured note issuance. We have and will continue to, from time to time, enter into additional credit facilities, increase the size of our existing credit facilities or issue further debt securities. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. We are generally permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of stock senior to our shares if our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least equal to 150%, if certain requirements are met. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our asset coverage ratio was 176.52% and 187.03%, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025, taken together with our unused capacity under our credit facility is expected to be sufficient for our investing activities and to conduct our operations in the near term. As of March 31, 2025, we had $172.8 million available under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).
Although we have historically been able to obtain sufficient borrowing capacity, a deterioration in economic conditions or any other negative economic developments could restrict our access to financing in the future. We may not be able to find new financing for future investments or liquidity needs and, even if we are able to obtain such financing, such financing may not be on as favorable terms as we have previously obtained. These factors may limit our ability to make new investments and adversely impact our results of operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents balance increased by $5.9 million. During that period, $8.8 million was used in operating activities, primarily relating to investment purchases of $153.0 million, offset by $148.4 million in repayments and sales of investments in portfolio companies. During the same period, $14.7 million was provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of proceeds from secured borrowings of $796.8 million, net of shareholder distributions and repayments of secured borrowings of $29.5 million and $710.0 million, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased by $(3.2) million. During that period, $97.6 million was used in operating activities, primarily relating to investment purchases of $204.3 million, offset by $54.9 million in repayments and sales of investments in portfolio companies. During the same period, $94.3 million was used in financing activities, consisting primarily of proceeds from issuance of shares and proceeds from secured borrowings of $241.7 million and $323.0 million, respectively, net of shareholder distributions and repayments of secured borrowings of $19.3 million and $449.4 million, respectively.
Equity
Our authorized stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of stock, par value $0.01 per share, all of which are initially designated as common stock.
Initial Public Offering
On January 29, 2024, we closed our IPO, issuing 5,500,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $18.05 per share. We received total cash proceeds of $99.3 million. Our common stock began trading on the NYSE under the symbol “NCDL” on January 25, 2024.
Private Offerings
Prior to April 28, 2023, in connection with our Private Offerings, we entered into subscription agreements (“Subscription Agreements”) with investors, pursuant to which investors were required to fund drawdowns to purchase our shares of common stock up to the amount of their respective capital commitment each time we delivered a drawdown notice. As of January 5, 2024, all capital commitments in the amount of $906.4 million had been drawn.
ATM Program
On March 10, 2025, we established an equity at-the-market offering (the "ATM Program"), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through distribution managers, or to them, as principals for their own accounts, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price up to $200 million. Sales of common stock made pursuant to the ATM Program may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415(a)(5) under the Securities Act. We intend to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, investing in accordance with its investment objective and strategies, and repaying indebtedness (which may be subject to re-borrowing).
As of March 31, 2025, we had not issued any shares of common stock through the ATM Program.
Dividends and Distributions
To the extent that we have taxable income, we intend to make quarterly distributions to our common shareholders. Dividends and distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the applicable record date. The amount to be distributed to common shareholders is determined by our Board each quarter and is generally based upon the taxable earnings estimated by management and available cash. Net realized capital gains, if any, will generally be distributed at least annually, although we may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.
With respect to distributions, we have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for shareholders. As a result, in the event of a declared cash distribution or other distribution, each shareholder that has not “opted out” of the dividend reinvestment plan will have their dividends or distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares rather than receiving cash distributions. Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of shares will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if they received cash distributions and subsequently used such cash to purchase additional shares of the Company.
See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 for this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our distributions and dividend reinvestment plan. The following table summarizes the Company's distributions recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

Share Repurchase Plan
On March 5, 2024, we entered into a share repurchase plan (the “Company 10b5-1 Plan”), pursuant to which we may purchase up to $99.3 million in the aggregate of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market at prices below its net asset value (“NAV”) per share over a specified period. Any purchase of the shares pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan will be conducted in accordance with the guidelines and conditions of Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We adopted the Company 10b5-1 Plan because we believe that, if our common stock is trading below its then-current NAV per share, it will be in the best interest of its stockholders for us to reinvest in our portfolio.
The Company 10b5-1 Plan is designed to allow us to repurchase our shares of common stock at times when we otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws. The Company 10b5-1 Plan requires BofA Securities, Inc., as agent, to repurchase shares of common stock on the Company's behalf when the market price per share is below the most recently reported NAV per share (including any updates, corrections or adjustments publicly announced by us to any previously announced NAV per share). Under the Company 10b5-1 Plan, the agent will increase the volume of purchases made as the price of the shares of the our common stock declines, subject to volume restrictions. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will depend on the terms and conditions of the Company 10b5-1 Plan, the market price of the shares of our common stock and trading volumes, and no assurance can be given that any particular amount of shares of the common stock will be repurchased.
The Company 10b5-1 Plan became effective on March 29, 2024, commenced on April 1, 2024 and was amended on March 28, 2025. The amendment on March 28, 2025 (a) extended the Company 10b5-1 Plan for an additional 12-month period, and (b) amended certain terms of the Company 10b5-1 Plan as set forth in the guidelines thereto. As a result of the foregoing, the Company 10b5-1 Plan will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 12-months from March 29, 2025 (tolled for periods during which the Company 10b5-1 Plan is suspended), (ii) the end of the trading day on which the aggregate purchase price for all shares of common stock purchased under the Company 10b5-1 Plan equals $99.3 million and (iii) the occurrence of certain other events described in the Company 10b5-1 Plan.
The following table reflects the shares repurchased pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan for each month from inception through March 31, 2025 (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data):

Borrowings
See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our borrowings. Wells Fargo Financing Facility
On December 31, 2019, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a credit agreement ("the “Wells Fargo Financing Facility” and the agreement relating thereto, as amended on October 28, 2020, March 31, 2022, March 14, 2024 and August 27, 2024, the “Wells Fargo Financing Facility Agreement”), with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as lender (“Wells Fargo”) and administrative agent. On March 14, 2024, SPV V entered into the borrower joinder agreement to become party to the Wells Fargo Financing Facility Agreement and pledged all of its assets to the collateral agent to secure their obligations under the Wells Fargo Financing Facility. The Company and SPV V made customary representations and warranties and were required to comply with various financial covenants related to liquidity and other maintenance covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities.
On January 23, 2025, the Wells Fargo Financing Facility Agreement was terminated in full, and the Company terminated the security interest over the collateral granted to Wells Fargo and the lenders pursuant to the Wells Fargo Financing Facility Agreement. The Wells Fargo Financing Facility Agreement was terminated concurrent with the satisfaction of all obligations and liabilities of the Company to the lenders thereunder, including, without limitation, payments of principal and interest, other fees, breakage costs and other amounts owing to the lenders.
The maximum facility amount available under the Wells Fargo Financing Facility was $225 million. Advances under the Wells Fargo Financing Facility could be prepaid and reborrowed at any time during the reinvestment period, but any termination or reduction of the facility amount prior to the first anniversary of the date of the amendment (subject to certain exceptions) was subject to a commitment reduction fee of 1%. Under the Wells Fargo Financing Facility Agreement, the Company paid a fee on daily undrawn amounts under the Wells Fargo Financing Facility of 0.25% per annum during the period ended June 14, 2024. For the six months following June 14, 2024, the Company paid a fee on daily undrawn amounts under the Wells Fargo Facility of 0.50% per annum. and, thereafter, paid 0.50% per annum on undrawn amounts of up to 40% of the maximum facility amount and 1.50% per annum on undrawn amounts in excess of 40% of the maximum facility amount.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Wells Fargo Financing Facility bore interest at a rate of SOFR, reset daily, plus 2.20% per annum.
SMBC Financing Facility
On November 24, 2020, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “SMBC Financing Facility” and the agreement relating thereto, as amended on December 23, 2021, June 29, 2022 and November 21, 2023, the “SMBC Financing Facility Agreement”) with SMBC, as the administrative agent, the collateral agent and the lender. On October 19, 2023, SPV IV entered into the borrower joinder agreement (the “SMBC Joinder”) to become party to the SMBC Financing Facility Agreement.
Effective December 7, 2023, following the closing of the 2023 Debt Securitization (discussed further below), the maximum facility amount available was reduced to $150 million from $300 million, subject to a subsequent increase to $250 million, in the sole discretion of the administrative agent, if so requested by the borrowers, and SPV IV began borrowing under the SMBC Financing Facility. On November 5, 2024, the Company terminated in full the SMBC Financing Facility Agreement and terminated the security interest over the collateral granted to SMBC and the lenders pursuant to the SMBC Financing Facility Agreement. The SMBC Financing Facility was terminated concurrent with the satisfaction of all obligations and liabilities of the Company to the lenders thereunder, including, without limitation, payments of principal and interest, other fees, breakage costs and other amounts owing to the lenders.
The interest rate for loans under the SMBC Financing Facility Agreement was either the Base Rate plus 1.65% or Term SOFR plus 2.65%. The SMBC Financing Facility Agreement provided for an unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused commitments from February 21, 2024 through May 21, 2024 and, thereafter, 0.50% per annum on the unused commitments if such unused commitments are less than 50% of the total commitments and 1.00% per annum on the unused commitments if such unused commitments are greater than or equal to 50% of the total commitments. In connection with the SMBC Financing Facility Amendment, the borrowers paid an extension fee of $450 thousand plus an annualized fee of 0.30% multiplied by $150 million based on the length of time (in years) until the occurrence of a permitted securitization.
Revolving Credit Facility
On June 23, 2023, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement” and facility thereunder, the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Wells Fargo Financing Facility, the “Financing Facilities”) with SMBC as the lender, administrative agent, and one of the lead arrangers along with Wells Fargo. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by NCDL Equity Holdings and will be guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries that are formed or acquired in the future (collectively, the “Guarantors”).
The Revolving Credit Facility was amended on April 9, 2024 and October 4, 2024. The most recent amendment on October 4, 2024 ("the Revolving Credit Facility Amendment"), among other things: (i) extended the Commitment Termination Date and Final Maturity Date (each as defined below); (ii) added a term loan tranche; (iii) increased the total committed facility amount from $250 million to $325 million and (iv) reduced (a) the applicable margin with respect to the SONIA borrowings from 2.125% to 2.00%, (b) the credit spread adjustment from 0.15% to 0.10% for Term SOFR borrowings with a three-month tenor and from 0.25% to 0.10% for Term SOFR borrowings with a six-month tenor and (c) the applicable margin with respect to all other permitted borrowing rates from 1.125% to 1.000%. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a perfected first-priority interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments held by the Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions, and includes a $25 million limit for swingline loans.
The availability period under the Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on October 4, 2028 (the “Commitment Termination Date”) and will mature on October 4, 2029 (the “Final Maturity Date”). During the period from the Commitment Termination Date to the Final Maturity Date, the Company will be obligated to make mandatory prepayments out of the proceeds of certain asset sales and other recovery events and equity and debt issuances.
We may borrow amounts in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies. Amounts drawn in U.S. dollars will bear interest at either term SOFR plus a margin or the prime rate plus a margin. We may elect either the term SOFR or prime rate at the time of drawdown, and loans denominated in U.S. dollars may be converted from one rate to another at any time at our option, subject to certain conditions. Amounts drawn in other permitted currencies will bear interest at the relevant rate specified therein plus an applicable margin. We also will pay a fee of 0.375% per annum on average daily undrawn amounts. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at one-month SOFR plus 2.00% per annum.
The Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement includes customary covenants, including certain limitations on the incurrence by the Company of additional indebtedness and on the Company’s ability to make distributions to its shareholders, or to redeem, repurchase or retire shares of stock upon the occurrence of certain events and certain financial covenants related to asset coverage and minimum shareholders’ equity, as well as customary events of default.
CLO-I
On May 20, 2022 (the “Original Closing Date”), the Company completed a $448.3 million term debt securitization (the “2022 Debt Securitization”). Term debt securitization is also known as a collateralized loan obligation and is a form of secured financing incurred by the Company.
The notes offered in the 2022 Debt Securitization (the “2022 Notes”) were issued by CLO-I, an indirect, wholly owned, consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The 2022 Notes consisted of $199.0 million of AAA Class A-1 2022 Notes, which bore interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 1.80%; $34.3 million of AAA Class A-1F 2022 Notes, which bore interest at 4.42%; $47.3 million of AA Class B 2022 Notes, which bore interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 2.30%; $31.5 million of A Class C 2022 Notes, which bore interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 3.15%; $27.0 million of BBB Class D 2022 Notes, which bore interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 4.15%; and approximately $79.3 million of Subordinated 2022 Notes, which did not bear interest. The Company directly owns all of the BBB Class D 2022 Notes and the Subordinated 2022 Notes and, as such, these notes are eliminated in consolidation.
As part of the 2022 Debt Securitization, CLO-I also entered into a loan agreement (the “CLO-I Loan Agreement”) on the Closing Date, pursuant to which various financial institutions and other persons which are, or may become, parties to the CLO-I Loan Agreement as lenders (the “Lenders”) committed to make $30.0 million of AAA Class A-L 2022 Loans to CLO-I (the “2022 Loans” and, together with the 2022 Notes, the “2022 Debt”). The 2022 Loans bore interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 1.80% and were fully drawn upon the closing of the transactions. Any Lender may elect to convert all of the Class A-L 2022 Loans held by such Lenders into Class A-1 2022 Notes upon written notice to CLO-I in accordance with the CLO-I Loan Agreement.
The 2022 Debt was backed by a diversified portfolio of senior secured and second lien loans. Through April 20, 2026, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by CLO-I to purchase new collateral under the direction of the Company, in its capacity as collateral manager of CLO-I and in accordance with the Company’s investment strategy, allowing the Company to maintain the initial leverage in the 2022 Debt Securitization.
The 2022 Debt was the secured obligation of CLO-I, and the indenture and the CLO-I Loan Agreement, as applicable, governing the 2022 Debt includes customary covenants and events of default. The 2022 Debt was not registered under the Securities Act, or any state “blue sky” laws.
CLO-I Refinancing
On March 20, 2025 (the “ CLO-I Refinancing Date”), the Company completed a $457,975 refinancing of the 2022 Debt Securitization (the "CLO-I Refinancing").
The notes offered in the CLO-I Refinancing (the “2025 Notes”) were issued by CLO-I. The 2025 Notes consist of $1,900 of AAA Class X 2025 Notes, which bear interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 1.05%; $233,250 of AAA Class A-R 2025 Notes, which bear interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 1.38%; $56,250 of AA Class B-R 2025 Notes, which bear interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 1.70%; and $136,575 of Subordinated 2025 Notes, which do not bear interest, and of which $79,325 were issued on the Original Closing Date and remained outstanding on the CLO-I Refinancing Date. The Company directly retained all of the Subordinated 2025 Notes.
As part of the CLO-I Refinancing, on the Refinancing Date, the 2025 Issuer also entered into an amended and restated loan agreement (the “Class A-L-R Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which various financial institutions and other persons which are, or may become, parties thereto as lenders (the “Class A-L-R Lenders”) committed to make $30,000 of AAA Class A-L-R 2025 Loans to CLO-I (the “Class A-L-R 2025 Loans” and, together with the 2025 Notes, the “2025 Debt”). The Class A-L-R 2025 Loans bear interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 1.38% and were fully drawn on the Refinancing Date. Any Class A-L-R Lender may elect to convert a portion or all of the Class A-L-R 2025 Loans held by such Class A-L-R Lender into Class A-R 2025 Notes upon written notice to CLO-I in accordance with the Class A-L-R Loan Agreement.
The 2025 Debt is backed by a diversified portfolio of senior secured and second lien loans. Through April 20, 2030, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by CLO-I to purchase new collateral under the direction of the Company, in its capacity as collateral manager of CLO-I and in accordance with the Company’s investment strategy, allowing the Company to maintain the initial leverage in the CLO-I Refinancing. The 2025 Notes are due on April 20, 2038. The 2025 Loans are scheduled to mature on, and, unless earlier repaid, the entire unpaid principal balance thereof is due and payable on, April 20, 2038. The 2025 Notes may be optionally redeemed, and the 2025 Loans may be optionally prepaid, on or after April 20, 2027.
The 2025 Debt is the secured obligation of CLO-I and the supplemental indenture and the Class A-L-R Loan Agreement, as applicable, governing the 2025 Debt include customary covenants and events of default. The 2025 Debt has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state “blue sky” laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or applicable exemption from registration.
The Company serves as collateral manager to CLO-I under a collateral management agreement (the “Collateral Management Agreement”) and has waived the management fee due to it in consideration for providing these services.
CLO-II
On December 7, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a $298.1 million term debt securitization (the “2023 Debt Securitization”).
The notes offered in the 2023 Debt Securitization (the “2023 Notes”) were issued by CLO-II, an indirect, wholly owned, consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The 2023 Notes consist of $2.0 million of AAA Class X 2023 Notes, which bear interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 2.00%, $100.5 million of AAA Class A-1 2023 Notes, which bear interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 2.35%; $37.5 million of AA Class B 2023 Notes, which bear interest at three-month Term SOFR plus 3.20% and approximately $83.1 million of Subordinated 2023 Notes, which do not bear interest. The Company directly owns all of the Subordinated 2023 Notes and as such, these notes are eliminated in consolidation.
As part of the 2023 Debt Securitization, CLO-II also entered into a loan agreement (the “CLO-II Loan Agreement”) on the Closing Date, pursuant to which various financial institutions and other persons which are, or may become, parties to the CLO-II Loan Agreement as lenders (the “Lenders”) committed to make $25.0 million of AAA Class A-L-A 2023 Loans and $50.0 million AAA Class A-L-B 2023 Loans to CLO-II (the “2023 Loans” and, together with the 2023 Notes, the “2023 Debt”). The 2023 Loans bear interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 2.35% and were fully drawn upon the closing of the transactions. Any Lender may elect to convert all or a portion of the Class A-L-A 2023 Loans held by such Lenders into Class A-1 2023 Notes upon written notice to CLO-II in accordance with the CLO-II Loan Agreement.
The 2023 Debt is backed by a diversified portfolio of senior secured and second lien loans. Through January 20, 2028, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by CLO-II to purchase new collateral under the direction of the
Company, in its capacity as collateral manager of CLO-II and in accordance with the Company’s investment strategy, allowing the Company to maintain the initial leverage in the 2023 Debt Securitization. The 2023 Notes are due on January 20, 2036. The 2023 Loans are scheduled to mature, and, unless earlier repaid, the entire unpaid principal balance thereof is due and payable on January 20, 2036.
The 2023 Debt is the secured obligation of CLO-II, and the indenture and the CLO-II Loan Agreement, as applicable, governing the 2023 Debt includes customary covenants and events of default. The 2023 Debt has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, or any state “blue sky” laws.
The Company serves as collateral manager to CLO-II under a collateral management agreement (the “Collateral Management Agreement”) and has waived the management fee due to it in consideration for providing these services.
CLO-III
On March 14, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a $297.0 million term debt securitization (the “2024 Debt Securitization”).
The notes offered in the 2024 Debt Securitization (the “2024 Notes” or “2024 Debt”) were issued by Churchill NCDLC CLO-III, LLC (formerly known as Nuveen Churchill BDC SPV III, LLC) (the “2024 Issuer”), a direct, wholly owned, consolidated subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of the Closing Date. The 2024 Notes consist of $2.0 million of AAA Class X 2024 Notes, which bear interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 1.40%; $175.5 million of AAA Class A 2024 Notes, which bear interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 2.00%; $37.5 million of AA Class B 2024 Notes, which bear interest at the three-month Term SOFR plus 2.65%; and $82.0 million of Subordinated 2024 Notes, which do not bear interest.

conditions pursuant to which loans can be acquired by the 2024 Issuer, in accordance with rating agency criteria or as otherwise agreed with certain institutional investors who purchased the 2024 Notes. Through April 20, 2028, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by the 2024 Issuer to purchase new collateral under the direction of the Company, in its capacity as collateral manager of the 2024 Issuer and in accordance with the Company’s investment strategy, allowing the Company to maintain the initial leverage in the 2024 Debt Securitization.

The Company serves as collateral manager to the 2024 Issuer under a collateral management agreement (the “Collateral Management Agreement”) and has waived any management fee due to it in consideration for providing these services.
Unsecured Notes
On January 22, 2025, we issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.650% Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”). The 2030 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.650% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2025. The March 2030 Notes will mature on March 15, 2030, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time prior to February 15, 2030, at par plus a “make-whole” premium plus accrued interest, and thereafter at par. The 2030 Notes are the direct unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with all existing and future unsubordinated unsecured indebtedness issued by the Company, senior to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that expressly provides it is subordinated to the 2030 Notes, effectively subordinated to all of the existing and future secured indebtedness issued by the Company (including indebtedness that is initially unsecured in respect of which the Company subsequently grants security), to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of any of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The indenture governing the 2030 Notes contains certain covenants, including certain covenants requiring the Company to comply with Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a) of the 1940 Act, or any successor provisions, whether or not the Company continues to be subject to such provisions of the 1940 Act, but giving effect, in either case, to any exemptive relief granted to the Company by the SEC; and to provide financial information to the holders of the 2030 Notes and the trustee if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the indenture.
On January 22, 2025, in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a total notional amount of $300 million that matures on March 15, 2030. Under the interest rate swap agreement for the 2030 Notes, we receives a fixed interest rate of 6.65% and pays a floating interest rate of three-month SOFR + 2.3015%.

Derivatives
We use interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk associated with our fixed rate liabilities and may designate certain interest rate swaps to be in a hedge accounting relationship.
On January 22, 2025, in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo for a total notional amount of $300 million that matures on March 15, 2030. Under the interest rate swap agreement for the 2030 Notes, we receive a fixed interest rate of 6.65% and pay a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR + 2.3015%. We have designated the interest rate swap as a hedging instrument in a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship.
See the following footnotes to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: (i) Note 2 for additional disclosures regarding our accounting for derivative instruments designated in a hedge accounting relationship, (ii) Note 4 for additional disclosures regarding these derivative instruments and (iii) Note 5 for additional disclosures regarding the carrying value of our borrowings.
Related-Party Transactions
We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
•the Advisory Agreement;
•the CAM Sub-Advisory Agreement;
•the NAM Sub-Advisory Agreement; and
•the Administration Agreement.
On June 7, 2019, the SEC granted an exemptive order (the “Order”) that permits us to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with certain other funds and accounts sponsored or managed by either of the Advisers and/or their affiliates, subject to the conditions of the Order. Pursuant to the Order, the Company is permitted to co-invest with its affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board's independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including, but not limited to, that (1) the terms of the potential co-investment transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and its stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Company or its stockholders on the part of any person concerned and (2) the potential co-investment transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company's stockholders and is consistent with its then-current investment objective and strategies. Neither we nor the affiliated funds are obligated to invest or co-invest when investment opportunities are referred to us or them.
In addition, pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC on April 8, 2020 and applicable to all BDCs through December 31, 2020 (the “Temporary Relief”), the Company was permitted, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to complete follow-on investments in our existing portfolio companies with certain affiliates that are private funds if such private funds did not hold an investment in such existing portfolio company. Without the Temporary Relief, such private funds would not be able to participate in such follow-on investments with us unless the private funds had previously acquired securities of the portfolio company in a co-investment transaction with the Company. Although the Temporary Relief expired on December 31, 2020, the SEC’s Division of Investment Management had indicated that until March 31, 2022, it would not recommend enforcement action, to the extent that any BDC with an existing co-investment order continues to engage in certain transactions described in the Temporary Relief, pursuant to the same terms and conditions described therein. The conditional exemptive order is no longer effective; however, on October 14, 2022, the SEC granted an exemptive order to permit the Company to continue to complete follow-on investments in its existing portfolio companies with certain affiliates that are private funds if such private funds did not hold an investment in such existing portfolio company, subject to certain conditions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company enters into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. Future events could occur which may give rise to liabilities arising from these provisions against us. We believe that the likelihood of such an event is remote; however, the maximum potential exposure is unknown. No accrual has been made in these consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We have in the past and may in the future become obligated to fund commitments such as delayed draw commitments, revolvers, and equity investment commitments.
For more information on our off-balance sheet arrangements, commitments and contingencies see Note 8 to the consolidated financials statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Our critical accounting policies and estimates, including those relating to the valuation of our portfolio investments, are described below. We consider the most significant accounting policies to be those related to our Valuation of Portfolio Investments, Revenue Recognition, and U.S. Federal Income Taxes, are described below. The valuation of investments is our most significant critical estimate. The critical accounting policies and estimates should be read in connection with our risk factors as disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” included herein as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments, including Derivative Instruments
At all times, consistent with U.S. GAAP and the 1940 Act, we conduct a valuation of our assets, pursuant to which our net asset value is determined.
Our assets are valued on a quarterly basis or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the Company's valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to determine the fair value of the Company's investments that do not have readily available market quotations. Pursuant to the Company's valuation policy approved by the Board, a valuation committee comprised of employees of the Adviser (the “Valuation Committee”) is responsible for determining the fair value of the Company's assets for which market quotations are not readily available, subject to the oversight of the Board.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at those market quotations. Market quotations are obtained from independent pricing services where available. Generally investments marked in this manner will be marked at the mean of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained. To validate market quotations, we utilize a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of the quotations. Derivative instruments , including interest rate swaps, are valued using observable inputs, such as market-based quotations received from the counterparty, dealers or brokers.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, we or an independent third-party valuation firm engaged by the Valuation Designee will take into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of our investments, including and in combination of: comparison to publicly traded securities, including factors such as yield, maturity and measures of credit quality; the enterprise value of a portfolio company; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows; and the markets in which the portfolio company does business. Investment performance data utilized are the most recently available financial statements and compliance certificates received from the portfolio companies as of the measurement date which in many cases may reflect a lag in information. The independent third-party valuation firm provides a fair valuation report, a description of the methodology used to determine the fair value and their analysis and calculations to support their conclusion.
When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale or paydown occurs, we use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation.
U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which ranks the level of observability of market price inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment and state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value. We review pricing and methodologies in order to determine if observable market information is being used as opposed to unobservable inputs.
Our accounting policy on the fair value of our investments is critical because the determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of these valuations, and any change in these valuations, on the consolidated financial statements.
For more information on the fair value hierarchies, our framework for determining fair value and the composition of our portfolio see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q. Revenue Recognition
Our revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Net realized gains (losses) on investments: Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method.
Investment Income: Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on loans, are recorded on the accrual basis. We accrue interest income based on the effective yield if we expect that, ultimately, we will be able to collect such income. We may have loans in our portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) income provisions. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity.
Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, and prepayment fees associated with our investment activities as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by us to our portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.
Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies.
Non-accrual: Generally, if a payment default occurs on a loan in the portfolio, or if management otherwise believes that the issuer of the loan will not be able to make contractual interest payments or principal payments, Churchill will place the loan on non-accrual status, and we will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible, even though we remain contractually entitled to this interest. We may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. Accrued interest is written off when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated.
U.S. Federal Income Taxes
We have elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We have elected, and intend to qualify annually, to be treated as a RIC under the Code; however, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to qualify for and maintain RIC tax status. So long as we maintain our qualification as a RIC, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or U.S. federal excise taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we timely distribute at least annually to our stockholders as dividends. As a result, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by us represents obligations of our stockholders and will not be reflected in our consolidated financial statements.
We evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reversed and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. As of March 31, 2025, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits.
Our accounting policy on income taxes is critical because if we are unable to maintain our status as a RIC, we would be required to record a provision for U.S. federal income taxes, which may be significant to our financial results.
Recent Developments
Dividend Declaration
On April 30, 2025, the Board declared a regular dividend of $0.45 per share payable on or around July 28, 2025 to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2025.
Company 10b5-1 Plan
For the period from April 1, 2025 through May 6, 2025, BofA Securities, Inc., as agent, repurchased an additional 935,888 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan for approximately $14 million.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Uncertainty with respect to, among other things, inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, new tariffs and trade barriers, geopolitical conditions, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the ongoing war in the Middle East and the failure of major financial institutions introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, and the effects of this volatility has materially impacted and could continue to materially impact our market risks, including those listed below.
Valuation Risk
We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities of private companies. Most of our investments do not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, as the Valuation Designee, in accordance with our valuation policy, subject to the oversight of the Board and based on, among other things, the input of the independent third-party valuation firms engaged by the Valuation Designee. There is no single standard for determining fair value. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, variability of spread relationships, the difference in re-pricing internals between our assets and liabilities and the effect that interest rates may have on our cash flows. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. Our net investment income is also affected by fluctuations in various interest rates to the extent our debt investments include floating interest rates. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.
The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady in the first quarter of 2025, following three consecutive rate reductions in the third and fourth quarter of 2024. The Federal Reserve has indicated that there may be additional rate cuts in the future; however, future reductions to benchmark rates are not certain. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve will not make upward adjustments to the federal funds rate in the future. In a high interest rate environment, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income if there is not a corresponding increase in interest income generated by our investment portfolio. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in base rates, such as SOFR or other alternate rates, are not offset by corresponding increases in the spread over such base rate that we earn on any portfolio investments, a decrease in our operating expenses, or a decrease in the interest rate associated with our borrowings.
As of March 31, 2025, on a fair value basis, approximately 5.45% of our debt investments bear interest at a fixed rate and approximately 94.55% of our debt investments bear interest at a floating rate. As of March 31, 2025, 99.06% of our floating rate debt and income producing investments are subject to interest rate floors. Our credit facility, along with our debt issued in our collateralized loan obligations, are predominantly subject to floating interest rates and are currently paid based on floating SOFR rates. In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes, we entered into a fixed-to-floating interest rate swap under a designated hedge accounting relationship, in order to align the interest rates of our liabilities with our investment portfolio.
The following table estimates the potential changes in net cash flow generated from interest income and expenses, should interest rates increase or decrease by 100, 200 or 300 basis points. Interest income is calculated as revenue from interest generated from our portfolio of investments held on March 31, 2025. Interest expense is calculated based on our debt obligations is using the outstanding balances as of March 31, 2025. Interest expense on our debt obligations is calculated using the interest rates as of March 31, 2025, adjusted for the impact of hypothetical changes in rates, as shown below. The base interest rate case assumes the rates on our portfolio investments remain unchanged from the actual effective interest rates as of March 31, 2025.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the table (dollars amounts in thousands).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on that evaluation, we, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025 and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We, our consolidated subsidiaries, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings threatened against us or them. From time to time, we, our consolidated subsidiaries and/or the Adviser and Sub-Adviser may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Our business also is subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 other than those noted below. For a further discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the information under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025, which is accessible on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Changes to U.S. tariff and import/export regulations may have a negative effect on the operations of our portfolio companies and, in turn, negatively impact us.
The U.S. government has recently imposed, and may in the future increase, tariffs on specific countries and commodities. In response, certain foreign trading partners, and others in the future, may impose retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. goods. The foregoing has created significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and certain other countries with respect to trade policies, treaties and new and increased tariffs. These developments, or the continued uncertainty relating to U.S. trade policies, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the United States. The uncertainty relating to U.S. trade policies has increased market volatility. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict certain of our portfolio companies’ access to suppliers or customers, and increase costs, decrease margins, and reduce the competitiveness of products and services offered by our portfolio companies. The foregoing may adversely affect the revenues and profitability of such portfolio companies and, in turn, negatively affect our results of operations, which could cause the market value of our shares of common stock and/or debt securities to decline. It is not possible to predict the impact that these or similar future events will have on the United States and other economies, specific industries, us or our underlying portfolio companies from an economic, tax or regulatory perspective, but any such impact could be material and adverse for us.
U.S. policy changes may adversely affect our business.
Political and governmental shifts in the United States have led to changing stances on numerous domestic and international issues. These changes, along with the resultant economic uncertainty, could impact our ability to source, negotiate, execute, manage, or exit investments. Actions taken by the United States government may have significant global effects—including on market and financial conditions, trade policies, tax rates, legal or regulatory regimes and broader economic and social dynamics. Such actions could also prompt reciprocal, retaliatory, or responsive measures from other countries, regional blocs (including the European Union), corporations, or other market participants. The United States has indicated that it may seek to withdraw from, renegotiate, amend, rescind or not abide by certain agreements, policies, regulations, statutes and other measures, and could pursue policy outcomes that may diverge significantly from prior assumptions. However, the specific measures that will be implemented or enacted, as well as their impact on us and our portfolio companies, remain uncertain and could change frequently. Any such developments could materially affect our projections, goals, assumptions, targets, estimates, forecasts, strategies or plans in ways that cannot currently be determined with any certainty, including through effects (inside and outside the United States) on the desirability of certain financial or nonfinancial assets, the investability of certain countries or regions, the business prospects of certain industries, the certainty or predictability of legal systems and otherwise.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Sales of Unregistered Securities
We did not sell any securities during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On March 5, 2024, the Company entered into a share repurchase plan (as amended, the “Company 10b5-1 Plan”), pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $99,275 in the aggregate of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market at prices below its NAV per share over a specified period. Any purchase of the shares pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan will be conducted in accordance with the guidelines and conditions of Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The Company adopted the Company 10b5-1 Plan because it believes that, if its common stock is trading below its then-current NAV per share, it will be in the best interest of its stockholders for the Company to reinvest in its portfolio.
The Company 10b5-1 Plan is designed to allow the Company to repurchase its shares of common stock at times when the Company otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws. The Company 10b5-1 Plan requires BofA Securities, Inc., as agent, to repurchase shares of common stock on the Company's behalf when the market price per share is below the most recently reported NAV per share (including any updates, corrections or adjustments publicly announced by the Company to any previously announced NAV per share). Under the Company 10b5-1 Plan, the agent will increase the volume of purchases made as the price of the shares of the Company's common stock declines, subject to volume restrictions. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will depend on the terms and conditions of the Company 10b5-1 Plan, the market price of the shares of the Company's common stock and trading volumes, and no assurance can be given that any particular amount of shares of the common stock will be repurchased.
The purchase of shares of common stock pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan is intended to satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, and will otherwise be subject to applicable law, including Regulation M, which may prohibit purchases under certain circumstances.
The Company 10b5-1 Plan became effective on March 29, 2024, commenced on April 1, 2024 and was amended on March 28, 2025. The amendment on March 28, 2025 (a) extended the Company 10b5-1 Plan for an additional 12-month period and (b) amended certain terms of the Company 10b5-1 Plan as set forth in the guidelines therein. As a result of the foregoing, the Company 10b5-1 Plan will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 12-months from March 29, 2025 (tolled for periods during which the Company 10b5-1 Plan is suspended), (ii) the end of the trading day on which the aggregate purchase price for all shares of common stock purchased under the Company 10b5-1 Plan equals $99,275 and (iii) the occurrence of certain other events described in the Company 10b5-1 Plan.
The following table reflects the shares repurchased pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan for each month from inception through March 31, 2025 (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data):
