CASH COMMON SHAREHOLDER DISTRIBUTION
DECLARATION
Prospect is declaring distributions to common
shareholders as follows:
Monthly Cash Common Shareholder Distribution |
Record Date |
Payment Date |
Amount ($ per share) |
February 2024 |
2/27/2024 |
3/20/2024 |
$0.0600 |
March 2024 |
3/27/2024 |
4/18/2024 |
$0.0600 |
April 2024 |
4/26/2024 |
5/21/2024 |
$0.0600 |
These monthly cash distributions are the 78th,
79th, and 80th consecutive $0.06 per share distributions to common
shareholders.
Prospect expects to declare May 2024, June 2024,
July 2024, and August 2024 distributions to common shareholders in
May 2024.
Based on the declarations above, Prospect’s
closing stock price of $5.81 at February 7, 2024 delivers to our
common shareholders an annualized distribution yield of 12.4%.
Taking into account past distributions and our
current share count for declared distributions, since inception
through our April 2024 declared distribution, Prospect will have
distributed $20.76 per share to original common shareholders,
representing 2.3 times December 2023 common NAV per share,
aggregating approximately $4.20 billion in cumulative distributions
to all common shareholders.
Since inception in 2004, Prospect has invested
$20.6 billion across 420 investments, exiting 287 of these
investments.
Drivers focused on growing NII and NAV per share
include (1) our $2.25 billion targeted 6.50% and Floating Rate
perpetual preferred stock offerings, (2) greater utilization of our
cost efficient revolving floating rate credit facility, (3)
elevated short-term SOFR rates based on Fed tightening to boost
asset yields, (4) optimization of portfolio company performance,
and (5) increased primary and secondary originations of senior
secured debt and selected equity investments targeting attractive
risk-adjusted yields and total returns as we deploy dry powder from
our underleveraged balance sheet.
Our senior management team and employees own
approximately 27% of all common shares outstanding, approximately
$1.0 billion of our common equity as measured at NAV.

To date we have exited 15 subordinated
structured notes with an expected pooled average realized gross IRR
of 12.0% and cash on cash multiple of 1.3 times.
CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY
Our multi-year, long-term laddered and
diversified historical funding profile has included a $1.95 billion
revolving credit facility (with 53 current lenders), program notes,
institutional bonds, convertible bonds, listed preferred stock, and
program preferred stock. We have retired multiple upcoming
maturities and, as of today, have no debt maturing during calendar
year 2024. The combined amount of our balance sheet cash and
undrawn revolving credit facility commitments is currently
approximately $998 million.
The Facility includes a revolving period that
extends through September 15, 2026, followed by an additional
one-year amortization period. Pricing for amounts drawn under the
Facility is one-month SOFR plus 2.05%.
Our total unfunded eligible commitments to
portfolio companies totals approximately $28 million, or 0.4% of
our total assets as of December 31, 2023.

We currently have four separate unsecured debt
issuances aggregating over $1.2 billion outstanding, not including
our program notes, with laddered maturities extending through
October 2028. At December 31, 2023, $391.0 million of program notes
were outstanding with laddered maturities through March 2052.
At December 31, 2023, our weighted average cost
of unsecured debt financing was 4.15%, an increase of 0.07% from
September 30, 2023, and a decrease of 0.18% from December 31,
2022.
We have raised significant capital from our
existing $2.25 billion 5.50%, 6.50% and Floating Rate perpetual
preferred stock offering programs. The preferred stock provides
Prospect with a diversified source of accretive fixed-rate capital
without creating maturity risk due to the perpetual term of
multiple preferred tranches. To date we have issued approximately
$1.6 billion of our 6.50%, 5.50% and Floating Rate perpetual
preferred stock programs (including $66.5 million in the December
2023 quarter and, to date, $11.7 million in the current March 2024
quarter) and over $1.7 billion in total preferred stock when
including our $150 million listed 5.35% perpetual preferred stock
offering. During the December 2023 quarter, we commenced at tender
offer to purchase for cash any and all of 5,882,351 shares of
outstanding 5.35% perpetual preferred stock resulting in 631,194
shares validly tendered at a price of $15.88, plus accrued and
unpaid dividends for a total consideration of $16.00 per share.
In connection with our 5.50%, 6.50% and Floating
Rate perpetual preferred stock offering programs we have adopted
and amended a Preferred Stock Dividend Reinvestment Plan, pursuant
to which (i) holders of the Floating Rate preferred stock will have
dividends on their preferred stock reinvested in additional shares
of such preferred stock at a price per share of $25.00 and (ii)
holders of the 5.50% and 6.50% preferred stock will have dividends
on their preferred stock reinvested in additional shares of such
preferred stock at a 5% discount to the stated value per share of
$25.00, if they elect.
We currently have approximately $1.7 billion in preferred stock
outstanding.
Prospect holds recently reaffirmed investment
grade company ratings, all with a stable outlook, from Standard
& Poor’s (BBB-), Moody’s (Baa3), Kroll (BBB-), Egan-Jones
(BBB), and DBRS (BBB (low)). Maintaining our investment grade
ratings with prudent asset, liability, and risk management is an
important objective for Prospect.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan
(also known as our “DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of our
distributions on behalf of our shareholders, unless a shareholder
elects to receive cash. On April 17, 2020, our board of directors
approved amendments to the Company’s DRIP, effective May 21, 2020.
These amendments principally provide for the number of newly-issued
shares pursuant to the DRIP to be determined by dividing (i) the
total dollar amount of the distribution payable by (ii) 95% of the
closing market price per share of our stock on the valuation date
of the distribution (providing a 5% discount to the market price of
our common stock), a benefit to shareholders who participate.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR DIVIDEND
REINVESTMENT PLAN
Shares held with a broker or financial
institution
Many shareholders have been automatically “opted
out” of our DRIP by their brokers. Even if you have elected to
automatically reinvest your PSEC stock with your broker, your
broker may have “opted out” of our DRIP (which utilizes DTC’s
dividend reinvestment service), and you may therefore not be
receiving the 5% pricing discount. Shareholders interested in
participating in our DRIP to receive the 5% discount should contact
their brokers to make sure each such DRIP participation election
has been made through DTC. In making such DRIP election, each
shareholder should specify to one’s broker the desire to
participate in the "Prospect Capital Corporation DRIP through DTC"
that issues shares based on 95% of the market price (a 5% discount
to the market price) and not the broker's own "synthetic DRIP” plan
(if any) that offers no such discount. Each shareholder should not
assume one’s broker will automatically place such shareholder in
our DRIP through DTC. Each shareholder will need to make this
election proactively with one’s broker or risk not receiving the 5%
discount. Each shareholder may also consult with a representative
of such shareholder’s broker to request that the number of shares
the shareholder wishes to enroll in our DRIP be re-registered by
the broker in the shareholder’s own name as record owner in order
to participate directly in our DRIP.
Shares registered directly with our transfer
agent
If a shareholder holds shares registered in the
shareholder’s own name with our transfer agent (less than 0.1% of
our shareholders hold shares this way) and wants to make a change
to how the shareholder receives dividends, please contact our plan
administrator, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company LLC by
calling (888) 888-0313 or by mailing Equiniti Trust Company LLC, PO
Box 500, Newark, New Jersey 17101.

MIDDLE-MARKET LOAN PORTFOLIO COMPANY WEIGHTED AVERAGE
EBITDA AND NET LEVERAGE
Middle-Market Loan Portfolio Company Weighted
Average Net Leverage (“Middle-Market Portfolio Net Leverage”) and
Middle-Market Loan Portfolio Company Weighted Average EBITDA
(“Middle-Market Portfolio EBITDA”) provide clarity into the
underlying capital structure of PSEC’s middle-market loan portfolio
investments and the likelihood that such portfolio will make
interest payments and repay principal.
Middle-Market Portfolio Net Leverage reflects
the net leverage of each of PSEC’s middle-market loan portfolio
company debt investments, weighted based on the current fair market
value of such debt investments. The net leverage for each
middle-market loan portfolio company is calculated based on PSEC’s
investment in the capital structure of such portfolio company, with
a maximum limit of 10.0x adjusted EBITDA. This calculation excludes
debt subordinate to PSEC’s position within the capital structure
because PSEC’s exposure to interest payment and principal repayment
risk is limited beyond that point. Additionally, subordinated
structured notes, rated secured structured notes, real estate
investments, investments for which EBITDA is not available, and
equity investments, for which principal repayment is not fixed, are
also not included in the calculation. The calculation does not
exceed 10.0x adjusted EBITDA for any individual investment because
10.0x captures the highest level of risk to PSEC. Middle-Market
Portfolio Net Leverage provides PSEC with some guidance as to
PSEC’s exposure to the interest payment and principal repayment
risk of PSEC’s middle-market loan portfolio. PSEC monitors its
Middle-Market Portfolio Net Leverage on a quarterly basis.
Middle-Market Portfolio EBITDA is used by PSEC
to supplement Middle-Market Portfolio Net Leverage and generally
indicates a portfolio company’s ability to make interest payments
and repay principal. Middle-Market Portfolio EBITDA is calculated
using the EBITDA of each of PSEC’s middle-market loan portfolio
companies, weighted based on the current fair market value of the
related investments. The calculation provides PSEC with insight
into profitability and scale of the portfolio companies within
PSEC's middle-market loan portfolio.
These calculations include addbacks that are
typically negotiated and documented in the applicable investment
documents, including but not limited to transaction costs,
share-based compensation, management fees, foreign currency
translation adjustments, and other nonrecurring transaction
expenses.
Together, Middle-Market Portfolio Net Leverage
and Middle-Market Portfolio EBITDA assist PSEC in assessing the
likelihood that PSEC will timely receive interest and principal
payments. However, these calculations are not meant to substitute
for an analysis of PSEC’s underlying portfolio company debt
investments, but to supplement such analysis.
PRIMARY ORIGINATION STRATEGIES
Lending to Companies - We make
directly-originated, agented loans to companies, including
companies which are controlled by private equity sponsors and
companies that are not controlled by private equity sponsors (such
as companies that are controlled by the management team, the
founder, a family or public shareholders). This debt can take the
form of first lien, second lien, unitranche or unsecured loans.
These loans typically have equity subordinate to our loan position.
We may also purchase selected equity co-investments in such
companies. In addition to directly-originated, agented loans, we
also invest in senior and secured loans, syndicated loans and high
yield bonds that have been sold to a club or syndicate of buyers,
both in the primary and secondary markets. These investments are
often purchased with a long term, buy-and-hold outlook, and we
often look to provide significant input to the transaction by
providing anchoring orders.
Lending to Companies and Purchasing Controlling
Equity Positions in Such Companies - This strategy involves
purchasing senior and secured yield-producing debt and controlling
equity positions in middle-market companies across various
industries. We believe this strategy provides enhanced certainty of
closing to sellers, and the opportunity for management to continue
in their current roles. These investments are often structured in
tax-efficient partnerships, enhancing returns.
Purchasing Controlling Equity Positions and
Lending to Real Estate Companies - We purchase debt and controlling
equity positions in tax-efficient real estate investment trusts
(“REIT” or “REITs”). The real estate investments of National
Property REIT Corp. (“NPRC”) are in various classes of developed
and occupied real estate properties that generate current yields,
including multi-family properties, student housing, and senior
living. NPRC seeks to identify properties that have historically
attractive occupancy rates and recurring cash flow generation. NPRC
generally co-invests with established and experienced property
management teams that manage such properties after acquisition.
Investing in Structured Credit - We make
investments in structured credit, often taking a significant
position in subordinated structured notes (equity) and rated
secured structured notes (debt). The underlying portfolio of each
structured credit investment is diversified across approximately
100 to 200 broadly syndicated loans and does not have direct
exposure to real estate, mortgages, or consumer-based credit
assets. The structured credit portfolios in which we invest are
managed by established collateral management teams with many years
of experience in the industry.
