PSEC HAS POSTED AN AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURN ON NET ASSETS OF 8.5% WITH POSITIVE RETURNS IN ~85% OF THE FULL QUARTERLY PERIODS

Source: Company filings. Quarterly returns based on the line item “net increase in net assets resulting from operations” on the income statement. To calculate a quarterly return rate, quarterly returns were divided by the sum of the net asset value from the prior quarter’s filing (beginning net asset value) and half of the change in paid-in capital between the prior quarter and the then-current quarter. Annual and cumulative figures derived from compounding of quarterly returns.1. Total return average was calculated by taking the geometric average of all quarterly returns and then annualizing by compounding over four periods.
