ITEM 5.07. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

Annual Meeting:

On May 3, 2023, the Registrant held its 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). The proposals considered at the Annual Meeting are described in detail in the Registrant's definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2023 (the "Annual Proxy"). As of March 6, 2023, the record date, 72,571,907 shares of common stock were eligible to vote.

First Proposal. The Registrant's stockholders elected two directors of the Company (the "Class I Directors"), each of whom will serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting, or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies or until his or her earlier resignation, removal from office, death or incapacity. The Class I Directors were elected pursuant to the voting results set forth below:



Name                   For       Withheld


John R. Baron       16,572,096   6,020,225
Jerrold B. Harris   16,260,194   6,332,127

Broker Non-Vote 26,036,190 shares

Second Proposal. The Registrant's stockholders ratified the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the Registrant's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023, as set forth below:



   For     Against  Abstain
46,008,625 960,456 1,659,430



Broker Non-Vote 0 shares

Special Meeting:

On May 3, 2023, the Registrant convened its special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting") to vote on a proposal to authorize the Registrant, with the approval of the Registrant's board of directors, to sell or otherwise issue shares of its common stock (during the next 12 months) at a price below the Registrant's then current net asset value per share in one or more offerings, subject to certain limitations set forth in the proxy statement for the Special Meeting (including that the cumulative number of shares sold pursuant to such authority does not exceed 25% of the Registrant's then outstanding common stock immediately prior to each such sale). Because a quorum was not present at the Special Meeting, the Registrant closed the Special Meeting without conducting any business and, as a result, the proposal did not pass.
