Leverage through CSWC Security (4) 3.6x 4.6x Note: All metrics above exclude the I-45 Senior Loan Fund (1) At December 31, 2019, we had equity ownership in approximately 68.8% of our LMM investments (2) The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates during the quarter for all debt investments at cost as of December 31, 2019, including accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt instruments. As of December 31, 2019, there were three investments on non- accrual status. Weighted-average annual effective yield is not a return to shareholders and is higher than what an investor in shares in our common stock will realize on its investment because it does not reflect our expenses or any sales load paid by an investor (3) Weighted average EBITDA metric is calculated using investment cost basis weighting. For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, one portfolio company is excluded from this calculation due to a reported debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio that was not meaningful (4) Includes CSWC debt investments only. Calculated as the amount of each portfolio company’s debt (including CSWC’s position and debt senior or pari passu to CSWC’s position, but excluding debt subordinated to CSWC’s position) in the capital structure divided by each portfolio company’s adjusted EBITDA. Weighted average leverage is calculated using investment cost basis weighting. Management uses this metric as a guide to evaluate relative risk of its position in each portfolio debt investment. For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, one portfolio company is excluded from this calculation due to reporting a debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio that was not meaningful Page 13
