The Company will be subject to income tax on taxable income that is not distributed and to an excise tax to the extent that certain percentages of its taxable income is not distributed by specified dates. The Company has not established a minimum distribution payment level and is not assured of its ability to make distributions to stockholders in the future.

As of October 12, 2016, the Company had 26,252,193 shares outstanding. At June 30, 2016, the Company had 22,430,858 shares outstanding.

Estimated September 30, 2016 Book Value Per Share

The Company’s estimated book value per share as of September 30, 2016 was $11.21.

Estimated Return on Equity

The Company’s estimated total return on equity for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was 7.1%, or 28.4% on an annualized basis.
