- The company has announced monthly common shareholder distributions of 4.5¢ per share for November, December, and January.
- PSEC's core business of first lien senior secured middle market loans has increased to 65% of total investments, offering higher spreads and better protection for yield and income.

- PSEC has a diversified funding structure with a ladder of liabilities extending 28 years into the future, and a substantial majority of unencumbered assets.
- The company's net debt to total assets ratio stands at 29.7%, which may indicate a significant level of leverage.
- PSEC's CLO equity and real estate investments, while historically attractive, have shown more variability and are being reduced in favor of lower variability investments.
- The company has experienced a decrease in exit-related income from real estate property sales, indicating potential challenges in monetizing these investments.
