Long, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PSBD. “Despite a complex operating environment, we have continued to selectively deploy capital across both the broadly syndicated loan market and private credit, leveraging the breadth of our platform's capabilities across credit markets. Supported by disciplined underwriting, a differentiated investment strategy, and thoughtful capital allocation, we believe PSBD remains well positioned to deliver long-term value for shareholders."

As of June 30, 2026, 98% of the long-term investments based on fair value in our portfolio were at floating rates. At the end of the second quarter, approximately 99.7% of the portfolio at fair value was income producing. There were two portfolio companies on non-accrual status. As of June 30, 2026, the weighted average total yield to maturity of debt and income producing securities at fair value was 11.95%, and weighted average total yield to maturity of debt and income producing securities at amortized cost was 8.43%.

Recent Developments
On July 15, 2026, the Company completed the refinancing of a $300 million term debt securitization of Palmer Square BDC CLO 1, Ltd.

The notes offered in the CLO Reset Transaction were issued by the Issuer, and consist of (i) $228.00 million of AAA Class A-R Notes due 2039, which bear interest at the forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate plus 1.27%; and (ii) $72.00 million of AA Class B-R Notes due 2039, which bear interest at Term SOFR plus 1.75%. See Note 13 “Subsequent Events” to the consolidated financial statements for a full description of the CLO Reset Transaction.
On July 1, 2026, PSBD reduced the amount of aggregate commitments to $350 million from $525 million under its Bank of America credit facility.
On August 5, 2026, PSBD’s Board of Directors announced that it had declared a third quarter regular base dividend distribution of $0.36 per share, payable on October 13, 2026, to stockholders of record as of September 25, 2026.

(Note 3) |
|
On January 22, 2024, PSBD completed its initial public offering (the "IPO"). Prior to the IPO, the base management fee was 2.00% of the average value of the weighted average (based on the number of shares outstanding each day in the quarter) of the Company’s total net assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. Palmer Square BDC Advisor LLC (the "Investment Advisor"), however, during any period prior to the IPO, agreed to waive its right to receive management fees in excess of an annual rate of 1.75% of the average value of the weighted average total net assets at the end of each of our two most recently completed calendar quarters. The Investment Advisor will not be permitted to recoup any base management fees waived for any period of time prior to the IPO. |

(1) |
New CLO equity investments do not have an ascribed interest rate and are therefore excluded from the calculation. |
|
|
(2) |
Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the CME Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “S”) (which can include one-, three-, or six-month SOFR), which resets periodically based on the terms of the loan agreement. At the borrower’s option, loans may instead reference an alternate base rate (which can include the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Prime Rate), which also resets periodically based on the terms of the loan agreements. Loans that reference SOFR may include a Credit Spread Adjustment (“CSA”), where the CSA is a defined additional spread amount based on the tenor of SOFR the borrower selects (making the reference rate S+CSA). |
