Equity [Abstract] |
CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK OFFERING | CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK OFFERING In May 2023, we entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement pursuant to which we may sell a maximum of 6,000,000 shares of 6.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.001 per share, on a “reasonable best efforts” basis through our affiliated dealer manager, Gladstone Securities, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement, the offering will terminate on the date that is the earlier of (1) December 31, 2026 (unless earlier terminated or extended by our Board of Directors) and (2) the date on which all 6,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock offered are sold. See Note 4, “Related-Party Transactions—Other Transactions,” for a discussion of the commissions and fees to be paid to Gladstone Securities in connection with the Series A Offering. The Series A Preferred Stock is being sold pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-275934), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and a prospectus supplement, dated November 22, 2024, and a base prospectus dated January 17, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, we had a remaining capacity to sell up to an additional 5,134,548 shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the Dealer Manager Agreement. During the year ended September 30, 2025, we sold 518,321 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $13.0 million and net proceeds of $11.6 million. During the year ended September 30, 2024, we sold 349,931 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $8.7 million and net proceeds of $7.8 million. During the year ended September 30, 2025, we redeemed 2,800 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for a total gross cost of $70 thousand. There were no redemptions of Series A Preferred Stock during the year ended September 30, 2024. There were 865,452 and 349,931 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock has been classified in temporary equity on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Series A Preferred Stock is recorded net of offering and issuance costs. Dividend payments to our preferred stockholders are included in preferred stock dividends on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, which totaled $0.9 million and $0.2 million during the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We may be required to mandatorily redeem some or all of the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock if we fail to maintain asset coverage of at least the minimum amount required by Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act (which is currently 150%). The asset coverage on our “senior securities that are stock” as of September 30, 2025 was 208.8%, calculated in accordance with Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act. We paid monthly cash dividends of $0.130208 per share to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock for each month during the year ended September 30, 2025 and each month from January through September during the year ended September 30, 2024. DISTRIBUTIONS TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS To qualify to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, we must generally distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our taxable ordinary income plus the excess of our net short- term capital gains over net long-term capital losses (“Investment Company Taxable Income”). The amount to be paid out as distributions to our stockholders is determined by our Board of Directors quarterly and is based on management’s estimate of Investment Company Taxable Income. Based on that estimate, our Board of Directors declares three monthly distributions to common stockholders each quarter. The federal income tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders on the IRS Form 1099 after the end of each calendar year. Estimates of tax characterization made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax characterization of cash distributions for the full year. Estimates made on a quarterly basis are updated as of each interim reporting date. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2024, 83.1% of distributions to common stockholders were deemed to be paid from ordinary income and 16.9% were deemed to be paid from capital gains for Form 1099 reporting purposes. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2023, 100.0% of distributions to common stockholders were deemed to be paid from ordinary income for Form 1099 reporting purposes. We paid the following monthly distributions to common stockholders for the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

(A) Per share data has been adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the Reverse Stock Split effected on April 4, 2024, as described in Note 2— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. (B) Represents a supplemental distribution to common stockholders. Aggregate distributions declared and paid to our common stockholders were approximately $55.5 million and $43.1 million for the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and were declared based on estimates of Investment Company Taxable Income. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023, Investment Company Taxable Income exceeded common stock distributions declared and paid, and, in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code, we elected to treat $5.5 million, $6.6 million, and $5.0 million, respectively, of the first common distributions paid to common stockholders in the subsequent fiscal year as having been paid in the prior year. In addition, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, net capital gains exceeded common stock distributions declared and paid, and, in accordance with Section 855(a) of the Code, we elected to treat $0.7 million of the first common distributions paid to common stockholders in the subsequent fiscal year as having been paid in the prior year. There were no such amounts for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The components of our net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
| Year Ended September 30,
2025 |  | 2024
Common stock | $ | 45 |  |  | $ | 44 |
Capital in excess of par value | 501,628 |  |  | 492,305 |
Cumulative net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | (17,490) |  |  | 25,249 |
Undistributed ordinary income | 5,481 |  |  | 6,590 |
Undistributed capital gain | 717 |  |  | — |
Capital loss carryforward | — |  |  | (47,435) |
Other temporary differences | (8,346) |  |  | (5,858) |
Net Assets | $ | 482,035 |  |  | $ | 470,895 |
We intend to retain some or all of our realized capital gains first to the extent we have available capital loss carryforwards and second, through treating the retained amount as a “deemed distribution.” For the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded the following adjustments for permanent book-tax differences to reflect tax character. Results of operations, total net assets, and cash flows were not affected by these adjustments.
| Year Ended September 30,
| 2025 |  | 2024
Undistributed net investment income | $ | (946) |  |  | $ | (1,299) |
Accumulated net realized losses | 1,053 |  |  | 1,310 |
Capital in excess of par value | (107) |  |  | (11) |
