This 8-K provides Q1 2026 financial results, which show a slight decline in net asset value and an increase in non-accrual loans, though net investment income continues to cover the dividend. The most impactful news is the extension and authorization of a substantial share repurchase program, allowing the company to buy back up to $100 million in stock.
