OTF repurchased approximately $64.6 million of OTF common stock at 82% of price-to-book value

The Board approved a new $300 million share repurchase program, replacing the prior $200 million authorization

Approximately 47% of each pre-listing shareholder's position has been released from lock-up, with the remainder scheduled to be released in equal tranches of approximately 10.6% each month until June 12, 2026

"OTF delivered another strong quarter, marked by NAV growth and steady progress towards our target leverage," said Craig W. Packer, Chief Executive Officer. "The portfolio continues to demonstrate excellent credit quality, reinforcing the durability of our technology investing strategy."

Erik Bissonnette, President, added, "Our software credits remain the strongest-performing segment of our direct lending platform and, on average, have delivered strong revenue and EBITDA growth across all market environments. As AI reshapes the technology landscape, we have revisited our underwriting assumptions and assessed that mission-critical solutions with data moats and operating in low risk-tolerance environments, where our portfolio is focused, are well-positioned to adopt and benefit from AI."

Stock RepurchasesOn November 4, 2025, the Board approved a $200 million stock repurchase program, for which purchases may be made at management's discretion from time to time in open market transactions. As of December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately $64.6 million of OTF common stock at 82% price-to-book value, accretive to net asset value per share in the fourth quarter.
