Page 13 CSWC Portfolio Asset Mix by Market Maintaining conservative portfolio leverage while receiving attractive risk-adjusted returns Note: All metrics above exclude the I-45 Senior Loan Fund (1) At June 30, 2021, we had equity ownership in approximately 57.1% of our LMM investments (2) The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates during the quarter for all debt investments at cost as of June 30, 2021, including accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt instruments. As of June 30, 2021, there were two investments on non-accrual status. Weighted-average annual effective yield is not a return to shareholders and is higher than what an investor in shares in our common stock will realize on its investment because it does not reflect our expenses or any sales load paid by an investor (3) Weighted average EBITDA metric is calculated using investment cost basis weighting. For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, three LMM portfolio companies and one UMM portfolio company are excluded from this calculation due to a reported debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio that was not meaningful (4) Includes CSWC debt investments only. Calculated as the amount of each portfolio company’s debt (including CSWC’s position and debt senior or pari passu to CSWC’s position, but excluding debt subordinated to CSWC’s position) in the capital structure divided by each portfolio company’s adjusted EBITDA. Weighted average leverage is calculated using investment cost basis weighting. Management uses this metric as a guide to evaluate relative risk of its position in each portfolio debt investment. For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, three LMM portfolio companies and one UMM portfolio company are excluded from this calculation due to a reported debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio that was not meaningful Investment Portfolio - Statistics Q1 2022 (In Thousands) Lower Middle Market (1) Upper Middle Market Number of Portfolio Companies 49 12 Total Cost $635,315 $94,971 Total Fair Value $641,940 $95,435 Average Hold Size (at Cost) $12,966 $7,914 % First Lien Investments (at Cost) 84.7% 78.6% % Second Lien Investments (at Cost) 6.3% 14.6% % Subordinated Debt Investments (at Cost) 1.9% 0.0% % Equity (at Cost) 7.1% 6.8% Wtd.
