1 For comparison purposes to Q1 and Q2 2018, 2017 management fees have been adjusted to 1.5% and income incentive fee has been recalculated based on current advisor contract. Additionally, one-time merger related expenses have been added back. See full reconciliation above.
2 All per share metrics are presented pro forma for the 1-for-2.25 reverse stock split which occurred on October 31, 2017. Schedule may include balancing figures derived from the other figures in the schedule and may differ slightly due to rounding associated with the 2.25x stock split.
3 Originated Strategy Investments are defined as investments where our Advisor negotiates the terms of the transaction beyond just the price, which, for example, may include negotiating financial covenants, maturity dates or interest rate terms or where we participate in other originated investment where there may be third parties involved, or a bank acting as an intermediary, for a closely held club, or similar investment.
4 The weighted average annual yield for accruing debt investments is computed as (i) the sum of (a) the stated annual interest rate of each debt, and debt like, investment, multiplied by its par amount, adjusted to U.S. dollars and for any partial income accrual when necessary, as of the end of the applicable reporting period, plus (b) the annual amortization of the purchase or original issue discount or premium of each accreting debt investment; divided by (ii) the total amortized cost of debt investments included in the calculated group as of the end of the applicable reporting period. Prior to Q3 2017 our weighted average annual yield did not adjust for any non-accreting or partial accrual investments. Beginning in Q2 2018, asset based finance investments with an effective interest rate are being included in the calculation.
5 Q1 and Q2 2018 Sales and Redemptions include $97.0 million and $206.9 million respectively of investments sold to SCJV.
