Thank you, Steve. As you know, we announced our first quarter earnings yesterday. For the current quarter, our net investment income was $0.26 per share, compared to $0.30 per share in the prior quarter. Our net asset value was $11.97 per share, compared to $12.85 per share in the prior quarter. As mentioned on our last call, net investment income in the prior quarter included non-recurring dividend and fee income. As a result, we had a decrease in net investment income this quarter. We remain focused on rotating certain non-interest earning equity positions, into interest earning assets to improve net investment income in the long-term. As we continue to explore potential ways, to monetize our minority equity investment in Pfanstiehl Holdings, our largest equity position. As we have noted before, this is a position we invested in more than 11 years ago, at a cost of only $200,000. To-date, we have received approximately $3.9 million in distributions, for approximately 18 times our cost. The decline in our net asset value per share is primarily, due to certain company-specific marks, as well as a more widespread decline in pricing across the broader credit markets. In our view, the overall economic outlook remains uncertain, given the potential impact of global tariffs and the related fallout. It is too early to estimate, how this rapidly changing global economic environment will affect our portfolio. However, we believe that the chances of a slowdown in economic activity have increased, which could lead to earnings pressure on our portfolio companies, and in return on the earnings of the BDC. That being said, we are encouraged by the general stability of our portfolio, with no new non-accruals this quarter. We believe that we have constructed our loan portfolio, to withstand the challenges of an uncertain macroeconomic environment.…

Thanks, Bilal, and good morning, everyone. As Bilal mentioned, we posted net investment income of $3.5 million, or $0.26 per share for the first quarter, which was down $0.04 per share from the fourth quarter. This decrease was primarily, due to a drop in non-recurring dividend and fee income recognized in the prior quarter, as well as an anticipated decline in interest income on our loan portfolio, attributable to the impact of last year's interest rate cuts. We announced that we are maintaining our quarterly distribution, at $0.34 per share for the second quarter of 2025, while we continue to cautiously evaluate this fluid macroeconomic environment. At March 31, our quarterly distribution rate represented a 14.6% annualized yield-based on the market price of our common stock. We continue to focus on improving our long-term returns, while concentrating on preserving capital. Our net asset value per share decreased by approximately 7%, or $0.88 this quarter, primarily attributable to net unrealized depreciation on our investment portfolio. The depreciation was recognized across all asset classes, but was most pronounced in our loan portfolio, with a mix of issuer-specific factors and broader credit market price declines, contributing to this net depreciation. As Bilal mentioned, we had no loans placed on non-accrual during the quarter, and our loan portfolio was generally stable, based on our internal credit ratings. Our regulatory asset coverage ratio decreased by four percentage points, and stood at 165% at quarter end. We have continued to proactively explore refinancing and extension options, on certain of our debt facilities that have upcoming maturities in the next year. At quarter end, approximately 73% of our outstanding debt was unsecured. Now turning to the income statement. Total investment income decreased approximately 12%, to $10.3 million this quarter. As I just mentioned, this was primarily driven…

Thank you, Kyle. In closing, we recognize that the current macroeconomic uncertainty, may have a negative impact on the economy. However, we believe our portfolio is generally stable and is defensively positioned, to withstand the pressures of this challenging environment. Our portfolio remains diversified across multiple industries, and we continue to be committed to investing higher in the capital structure. We are focused on increasing our net investment income over the long term, specifically by exploring the sale of certain non-interest earning equity positions, and redeploying the proceeds into interest earning assets. We continue to focus on capital preservation, which is especially critical during these uncertain economic times. We believe our long-standing experience and investment discipline, have served us well over the past 14 years. Since the beginning of 2011, the BDC has invested more than $2 billion with a cumulative net realized loss of just 3.4%, while generating attractive risk-adjusted returns on our portfolio. We believe our business is especially equipped, to navigate this market successfully, due to the size, experience and reputation of our adviser. With a $4.1 billion corporate credit platform, affiliated with a $30 billion asset management group. Our adviser has broad expertise, including long-standing banking and capital markets relationships. Our corporate credit platform has gone through multiple credit cycles, over the last 25-plus years. Our adviser and affiliates, are also strongly aligned with shareholders, as they maintain an approximately 23% ownership in the company. With that, operator, please open up the call for questions.

Thank you. [Operator Instructions] As there are no questions, this concludes our conference. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect. : :
