1 The $11.9 billion of Assets Under Management (“AUM”) refers to the assets managed by Prospect and its affiliated registered investment advisors. AUM equals the sum of: (i) the gross assets of (a) Prospect Capital Corporation, Priority Income Fund, Inc., and Prospect Floating Rate and Alternative Income Fund, Inc., and (b) pooled investment vehicles with respect to discrete assets for which Prospect has non-discretionary authority, (ii) any amounts available to be borrowed under certain credit facilities of the investment companies, (iii) total managed assets for real estate and structured credit investments, and (iv) uncalled capital commitments. Prospect’s AUM measure includes assets under management for which Prospect charges either nominal or zero fees. Prospect’s definition of AUM is not based on any definition of assets under management contained in any management agreements of the investment companies Prospect manages. Given the differences in the investment strategies and structures among other investment advisors, Prospect’s calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations employed by other investment managers and, as a result, this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers. Prospect’s calculation also differs from the manner in which Prospect and its affiliates registered with the SEC report “Regulatory Assets Under Management” ($8.9 billion) on Form ADV.
