This quarter represents our sixth consecutive quarter of dividend coverage, even after raising our dividend to $0.35 per quarter in the first quarter of this year and after raising new capital in a secondary offering during the second quarter. We are pleased to be able to continue to provide our stockholders consistent, strong quarterly results and a stable book value in what has been a challenging market environment for other BDCs. During the quarter, we put to work a significant amount of the new capital from our second quarter capital raise, increasing our investments at fair value by $47.2 million. We expect to continue to grow our portfolio over time as well as redeploy proceeds from repayments into high return investment opportunities."
