There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The percentage reflects estimated offering expenses payable by us of approximately $450,000 for the estimated duration of this offering. Net assets attributable to common shares equals average net assets as of December 31, 2022. The contractual management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of our average adjusted gross assets on December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, we had $199.2 million in borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility, and we had $76.2 million outstanding under our 2023 Notes, $185.0 million outstanding under our 2026 Notes and $228.0 million outstanding under the 2031 Asset-Backed Debt. We may use proceeds of this offering, if any, to repay outstanding obligations under our existing financing arrangements or other indebtedness. After completing this offering, we may continue to borrow under our existing financing arrangements to finance our investment objectives. We have estimated the annual interest expense on borrowed funds and we caution you that our actual interest expense in the future will depend on prevailing interest rates and our rate of borrowing, which may be substantially higher than the amount provided in this table. The portion of incentive fees paid with respect to net investment income and capital gains, if any, is based on actual amounts incurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, annualized for a full year. Such incentive fees are based on performance, vary from period to period and are not paid unless our performance exceeds specified thresholds. Incentive fees in respect of net investment income do not include incentive fees in respect of net capital gains. The portion of our incentive fee paid in respect of net capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Management Agreement, as of the termination date) and equals 20.0% of our realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. For purposes of this chart and our Consolidated Financial Statements, our incentive fees on capital gains are calculated in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As we cannot predict our future net investment income or capital gains, the incentive fee paid in future periods, if any, may be substantially different than the fee earned during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022. For more detailed information about the incentive fee, please see “Item 1. Business-Investment Management Agreement” and “Item 1. Business-Investment Advisory Fees” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our stockholders indirectly bear 87.5% of the expenses of our investment in PSSL. No management fee is charged by PennantPark Investment Advisers in connection with PSSL. PSSL pays the Administrator an annual fee of 0.25% of average gross assets under management. For this chart, PSSL fees and operating expenses are based on our share of the actual fees and operating expenses of PSSL for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, annualized for a full year. Expenses for PSSL may fluctuate over time and may be substantially higher or lower in the future. Our stockholders indirectly bear 23.08% of the expenses of our investment in PTSF. A management fee equal to 0.30% per annum of the gross assets of PTSF and its subsidiaries is charged by PennantPark Investment Advisers in connection with PTSF (which is waived by PennantPark Investment Advisers). For this chart, PTSF fees and operating expenses are based on our share of the actual fees and operating expenses of PTSF for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, annualized for a full year. Expenses for PTSF may fluctuate over time and may be substantially higher or lower in the future. “Other expenses” includes our general and administrative expenses, professional fees, directors’ fees, insurance costs, taxes and the expenses of the Investment Adviser reimbursable under our Investment Management Agreement and of the Administrator reimbursable under our Administration Agreement. Such expenses are estimated for the current fiscal year based on actual other expenses for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, annualized for a full year. “Total estimated annual expenses” as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares, to the extent we borrow money to make investments, are higher than the total estimated annual expenses percentage would be for a company that is not leveraged. We may borrow money to leverage our net assets and increase our total assets. The SEC requires that the “total estimated annual expenses” percentage be calculated as a percentage of average net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness) rather than total assets, which include assets that have been funded with borrowed money. If the “Total estimated annual expenses” percentage were calculated instead as a percentage of total assets, our “Total estimated annual expenses” would be 10.79% of average total assets.
