(“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “SPMC”) for the year The Company is a closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the“1940 Act”) and is advised by Sound Point Meridian Management Company, LLC (the “Adviser”). The Company’s primary investmentobjective is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation. We seek to achieve our investmentobjectives by investing primarily in equity and mezzanine tranches of collateralized loan obligations, or “CLOs,” which are securitized byportfolios consisting primarily of below-investment grade U.S. senior secured loans. We aim to leverage our origination, underwriting andportfolio management capabilities to construct a diversified portfolio of CLO investments that provides a steady source of income anddownside protection. Our actively managed, flexible investment approach, with a focus on relative value, aims to generate compelling totalreturns for our stockholders over the long term. For the year ended March31, 2026, the Company distributed $3.00 per common share. The Company’s common shares closed the fiscalyear at a price of $8.95 per share, delivering a -45.01% total return loss on market value to our investors. For comparison, during the sametime period, the S&P 500 Index generated 8.12% total return, while the Morningstar LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan Index generated 4.81%total return. As of March31, 2026, the weighted average reinvestment period of our portfolio was 3.8 years versus the CLO 2.01marketmedian of 3.6 years. The weighted average remaining non-call period of our portfolio was 3.9 years versus the CLO 2.0 market median of3.9 years. We believe CLO equity investments with longer reinvestment periods provide the ability to manage through periods of loanvolatility, while shorter non-call periods provide structural optionality through potential CLO refinancing opportunities. During the year, we: ●Deployed $96.62million in new CLO equity investments during the fiscal year and sold $21.32million of existing CLOinvestments.●Refinanced and/or reset 26 CLOs in our portfolio, lengthening reinvestment periods and lowering liability costs, which in manycases increases excess cash flow available to our equity investments.●Recorded net investment income (“NII”) and total loss from investment operations of $1.84 and $(6.15), respectively, per weightedaverage common share3.●Amended our revolving credit facility to extend maturity to August4, 2028 and increase total capacity to $150 million, with afloating financing rate of term SOFR + 3.75%, providing continued flexibility to deploy capital over time.●Issued a 5-year, $57.5 million Series B Preferred Shares offering with a 7.875% stated rate, resulting in net proceeds ofapproximately $55.7 million.
