Additional 402(v) Disclosure As described above, restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act restrict the Compensation Committee’s ability to use nondiscretionary or formulaic Company performance goals or criteria to determine executive incentive compensation. The Compensation Committee instead considers several financial performance metrics, along with other factors including operational goals and individual performance criteria, in determining the appropriate compensation for the NEOs.Other key metrics considered by the Compensation Committee when determining the appropriate compensation for NEOs include gross and net investment activity, net origination activities, growth and performance of the Company’s registered investment advisory business, maintenance of liquidity and capital flexibility and individual contributions to corporate objectives.
