S . industry is sizeable, growing rapidly, and estimated to reach ~ $ 68 bn by 2030 F, representing a ~ 11 . 5 % CAGR from 2023 . 1 Compelling opportunities for lenders to profit from the favorable supply and demand imbalance for debt capital , as the debt servicing capacity of cannabis companies far outstrips the available supply of institutional debt capital . We believe this opportunity will persist for many years, regardless of any near - term federal regulatory action . Within the $ 1 . 3 trillion private credit market today, direct lending in cannabis will remain outside the purview of most banks and traditional alternative asset managers . Near - term regulatory action (e . g . , SAFE Banking and rescheduling) will be a step in the right direction, but likely will not meaningfully change the complex industry dynamics . Lenders can demand various structural protections and have significant pricing power, driving attractive risk - adjusted returns . Complex regulatory, operational, and legal frameworks that vary state to state create high barriers of entry to traditional capital providers .

Estimated Yield to Maturity (“YTM”) includes a variety of fees and features that affect the total yield, which may include, b ut are not limited to, original issue discount (“OID”), exit fees, prepayment fees, unused fees, and contingent features. The estimated YTM calculations require management to make estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the timing and a mounts of loan draws on delayed draw loans, the timing and collectability of exit fees, the probability and timing of prepayments, and the probability of contingent features occurring. We have not assumed any prepayment penalties or early payo ffs in our YTM calculations. Estimated YTM is based on current management estimates and assumptions, which may change. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. For floating rate loans, future Prime Rates are assume d to be equal to the Prime Rate applicable to the current interest payment period. ​Weighted average YTM of loans is gross of expenses, excludes cash and equity holdings, and is calculated using the investment values shown. The weighted average YTM of loans would be lower if the calculation reflected expenses and cash holdings. 2.
