<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">Founded in 2004, Ares Capital is a leading
specialty finance company focused on providing direct loans and other investments in private middle market companies in the United States.
Ares Capital&rsquo;s objective is to source and invest in high-quality borrowers that need capital to achieve their business goals, which
oftentimes can lead to economic growth and employment. Ares Capital believes its loans and other investments in these companies can help
generate attractive levels of current income and potential capital appreciation for investors. Ares Capital, through its investment manager,
utilizes its extensive, direct origination capabilities and incumbent borrower relationships to source and underwrite predominantly senior
secured loans but also subordinated debt and equity investments. Ares Capital has elected to be regulated as a business development company
(&ldquo;BDC&rdquo;) and was the largest publicly traded BDC by market capitalization as of December 31, 2024. Ares Capital is externally
managed by a subsidiary of Ares Management Corporation (NYSE: ARES), a publicly traded, leading global alternative investment manager.</FONT></P>
