In accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that are measured using the net asset value per shares (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. These investments are generally not redeemable. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for total investments that use Level 3 inputs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, based off of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2025 (in thousands):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $3,330 in transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 due to an increase in observable inputs in market data and $21,852 in transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a decrease in observable inputs in market data.

The following tables present the fair value of Level 3 investments and the ranges of significant unobservable inputs used to value the Company’s Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. These ranges represent the significant unobservable inputs that were used in the valuation of each type of investment. These inputs are not representative of the inputs that could have been used in the valuation of any one investment. For example, the highest market yield presented in the table for senior secured first lien investments is appropriate for valuing a specific investment but may not be appropriate for valuing any other investment. Accordingly, the ranges of inputs presented below do not represent uncertainty in, or possible ranges of, fair value measurements of the Company’s Level 3 investments.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt and equity securities are primarily earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), revenue, comparable multiples and market discount rates. The Company typically uses comparable EBITDA or revenue multiples on its equity securities to determine the fair value of investments. The Company uses discount rates for debt securities to determine if the effective yield on a debt security is commensurate with the market yields for that type of debt security.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow approach is the discount rate used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. Increases and decreases in the discount rate would result in a decrease and increase in the fair value, respectively. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates is risk of default, rating of the investment, call provisions and comparable company investments.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the enterprise value approach are comparable EBITDA and revenue multiples. Increases and decreases in market EBITDA multiples and revenue would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value, respectively.
The recovery rate represents the extent to which proceeds can be recovered. An increase/decrease in the recovery rate would result in an increase/decrease, respectively, in the fair value. The transaction precedent represents an observable transaction or a pending event for the investment.
