 During Past 5 Years

 Ellida McMillan, 56

 Chief Financial Officer

 Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer (April 2017 – February 2020) of Alcentra Capital Corporation

 (1)

 The business address of the executive officers is c/o PhenixFIN Corporation, 445 Park Avenue, 10 th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

 Ellida McMillan is the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. She served as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Alcentra Capital Corporation, a NASDAQ-traded BDC, from April 2017 until it merged into Crescent Capital BDC,
 Inc. in February 2020. Previously, from November 2013 to April 2017, she served as Chief Accounting Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of Alcentra Capital. At Alcentra Capital she developed the company's financial and operating infrastructure,

 Board Leadership Structure

 Our Board of Directors monitors and performs an oversight role with respect to the business and affairs of the Company, including with respect to investment practices
 and performance, compliance with regulatory requirements and the services, expenses and performance of service providers to the Company. Among other things, our Board of Directors oversees the activities of our executive officers and other
 management personnel responsible for the Company's investment portfolio and operations, and approves the engagement, and reviews the performance of, our independent registered public accounting firm.

 Under the Company's bylaws, our Board of Directors may designate a Chairman to preside over the meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of the stockholders and
 to perform such other duties as may be assigned to him or her by the Board of Directors. We do not have a fixed policy as to whether the Chairman of the Board of Directors should be an independent director and believe that we should maintain the
 flexibility to select the Chairman and reorganize the leadership structure, from time to time, based on the criteria that is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at such times.

 Presently, Mr. Lorber serves as the Chairman of our Board of Directors. Mr. Lorber is an "interested person" (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the
 Company because he is Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 The currently designated lead independent director of our Board of Directors is Mr. Ainsberg.

 Our corporate governance policies include regular meetings of the independent directors in executive session without the presence of the interested director and
 management, the establishment of the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the appointment of a Chief Compliance Officer, with whom the independent directors meet regularly without the
 presence of the interested director and other members of management, for administering our compliance policies and procedures.

 We recognize that different board leadership structures are appropriate for companies in different situations. We re-examine our corporate governance policies on an
 ongoing basis to ensure that they continue to meet the Company's needs.

 Board of Directors Role in Risk Oversight

 Our Board of Directors performs its risk oversight function primarily through (a) its standing Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Audit Committee, each
 of which report to the entire Board of Directors and are comprised solely of independent directors, and (b) active monitoring of our Chief Compliance Officer and our compliance policies and procedures.

 As described below in more detail under "Committees of the Board of Directors," the Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its risk oversight
 responsibilities. The Audit Committee's risk oversight responsibilities include overseeing the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes, the Company's systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting, and audits of the
 Company's financial statements.

 Our Board of Directors also performs its risk oversight responsibilities with the assistance of the Chief Compliance Officer. Every quarter, the Board of Directors
 reviews a report from the Chief Compliance Officer discussing the adequacy and effectiveness of the compliance policies and procedures of the Company and its service providers. The Chief Compliance Officer's quarterly report addresses the
 following: (a) the operation of the compliance policies and procedures of the Company and its service providers since the last report; (b) any material changes to such policies and procedures since the last report; (c) any recommendations for
 material changes to such policies and procedures as a result of the Chief Compliance Officer's quarterly review; and (d) any compliance matter that has occurred since the date of the last report about which the Board of Directors would reasonably
 need to know to oversee our compliance activities and risks. In addition, the Chief Compliance Officer meets separately in executive session with the independent directors at least once each year.

 We believe that our Board of Directors' role in risk oversight is effective and appropriate given the extensive regulation to which we are already subject as a
 business development company ("BDC"). As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements that control the levels of risk in our business and operations. For example, our ability to incur indebtedness is limited such that our
 asset coverage must equal at least 200% (or 150% if, pursuant to the 1940 Act, certain requirements are met) immediately after each time we incur indebtedness, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in "qualifying assets," and
 we are not generally permitted to invest in any portfolio company in which one of our affiliates currently has an investment.

 We recognize that different board roles in risk oversight are appropriate for companies in different situations. We re-examine the manner in which the Board of
 Directors administers its oversight function on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to meet the Company's needs.

 Committees of the Board of Directors

 An Audit Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a Compensation Committee have been established by our Board of Directors. Previous to January
 1, 2021, the Company also had a Special Committee. During the fiscal year of 2023, the Board of Directors held 6 meetings, the Audit Committee held 6 meetings, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held 1 meeting, and the Compensation
 Committee held 1 meeting. All directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the respective committees on which they serve. We require each director to make a diligent effort to attend all
 Board of Directors' and committee meetings as well as each annual meeting of our stockholders.

 Audit Committee.
 The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website at  The charter sets forth the responsibilities
 of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee's responsibilities include selecting the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company, reviewing with such independent registered public accounting firm the planning, scope and results
 of its audit of the Company's financial statements, pre-approving the fees for services performed, reviewing with the independent registered public accounting firm the adequacy of internal control systems, reviewing the Company's annual financial
 statements and periodic filings and receiving the Company's audit reports and financial statements. The Audit Committee also establishes guidelines, recommends the appointment of the valuation designee, and oversees the valuation process
 conducted by our valuation designee regarding the valuation of our investments. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee utilize the services of nationally recognized third-party valuation firms to help determine the fair value of these
 securities. The Audit Committee is currently composed of Karin Hirtler-Garvey (chair), Arthur S. Ainsberg, and Lowell W. Robinson, each of whom is independent as set forth in the listing rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the
 "NASDAQ Listing Rules") and is not an "interested person" (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Company. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Karin Hirtler-Garvey, Arthur S. Ainsberg, and Lowell W.
 Robinson is an "audit committee financial expert" as that term is defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K, as promulgated under the Exchange Act. Each of Karin Hirtler-Garvey, Arthur S. Ainsberg, and Lowell W. Robinson meets the current
 independence and experience requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.

 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates pursuant to a charter approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website at
 The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for selecting, researching and nominating directors for election by our stockholders, selecting nominees to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors or a committee thereof,
 developing and recommending to the Board of Directors a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the Board of Directors and our management. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently does not
 consider nominees recommended by our stockholders.

 The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks candidates who possess the background, skills and expertise to make a significant contribution to the Board of
 Directors, the Company and its stockholders. In considering possible candidates for election as a director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account, in addition to such other factors as it deems relevant, the
 desirability of selecting directors who:

 •

 are of high character and integrity;

 •

 are accomplished in their respective fields, with superior credentials and recognition;

 •

 have relevant expertise and experience upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management;

 •

 have sufficient time available to devote to the affairs of the Company;

 •

 are able to work with the other members of the Board of Directors and contribute to the success of the Company;

 •

 can represent the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders as a whole; and

 •

 are selected such that with the other members of the Board of Directors represent a range of backgrounds and experience.

 The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not adopted a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees. In
 determining whether to recommend a director nominee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers and discusses diversity, among other factors, with a view toward the needs of the Board of Directors as a whole. The Nominating and
 Corporate Governance Committee generally conceptualizes diversity expansively to include, without limitation, concepts such as race, gender, national origin, differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, skill and other qualities
 that contribute to the Board of Directors, when identifying and recommending director nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the inclusion of diversity as one of many factors considered in selecting director
 nominees is consistent with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's goal of creating a Board of Directors that best serves the needs of the Company and the interest of its stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
 is currently composed of Arthur S. Ainsberg (chair), Howard Amster and Karin Hirtler-Garvey, each of whom is independent as set forth in the NASDAQ Listing Rules and is not an "interested person" (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of
 the Company.

 Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a charter approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website at  The Compensation Committee is
 responsible for formulating and recommending to the full Board of Directors the compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer. Previous to January 1, 2021, when the Company was
 externally managed, the Compensation Committee was responsible for reviewing and approving the reimbursement by the Company of the compensation of the Company's Chief Financial Officer, the Company's Chief Compliance Officer and their respective
 staffs. The Compensation Committee is currently composed of Karin Hirtler-Garvey, Howard Amster, Arthur S. Ainsberg, and Lowell Robinson (chair), each of whom is independent as set forth in the NASDAQ and is not an "interested person" (as defined
 in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Company.

 Stockholders with questions about the Company are encouraged to contact the Company's investor relations department. However, if stockholders believe that their
 questions have not been addressed, they may communicate with the Company's Board of Directors by sending their communications to Investor Relations, c/o PhenixFIN Corporation, 445 Park Avenue, 10 th Floor, New York, NY 10022. All

 Item 11.

 Executive Compensation

 Compensation Discussion & Analysis

 The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis ("CD&A") provides information relating to the compensation of the Company's Named Executive Officers, ("NEOs")
 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, who were:

 •

 David A. Lorber, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer;

 •

 Ellida McMillan, Chief Financial Officer

 Effective January 1, 2021, our Board of Directors approved internalizing our operating structure, which we refer to as the "Internalization." As a result, we began
 operating as an internally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. Effective January 1, 2021, Mr. Lorber began service as Chairman and
 Chief Executive Officer, and Ms. McMillan began service as Chief Financial Officer.

 Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

 Our executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain key executives, motivate them to achieve our business objectives, and reward them for performance.

 The compensation program for our NEOs is structured to reflect what we believe to be appropriate practices in corporate governance and executive compensation. The
 Compensation Committee has the primary authority to establish compensation for the NEOs and administers all executive compensation arrangements and policies. The Company's Chief Executive Officer assists the Compensation Committee by providing
 recommendations regarding the compensation of NEOs. The Compensation Committee exercises its discretion by modifying or accepting these recommendations. The Chief Executive Officer routinely attends a portion of the Compensation Committee meetings.
 However, the Compensation Committee typically also meets in executive session without the Chief Executive Officer when discussing compensation matters and on other occasions as determined by the Compensation Committee.

 The Compensation Committee takes into account competitive market practices with respect to the salaries and total direct compensation of the NEOs. Members of the
 Compensation C ommittee consider market practices by reviewing public information for executives at comparable peers.

 The Compensation Committee has authority to engage independent compensation consultants to assist the Compensation Committee and provide advice on a variety of
 compensation matters relating to NEO compensation, other key employee and independent director compensation, incentive compensation plans and compensation trends and best practices. Although compensation consultants may work directly with
 management on behalf of the Compensation Committee, any such work is under the ultimate control and supervision of the Compensation Committee.

 The Compensation Committee retained Pearl Meyer & Partners LLC ("Pearl Meyer") as an independent compensation consultant to provide such compensation consulting
 services for fiscal year 2023, including to benchmark and opine on market competitive compensation levels and mix necessary to attract and retain quality executive officers and independent directors. Pearl Meyer received input from Company
 management regarding the Company's strategic goals and the manner in which executive compensation supports these goals. The Compensation Committee evaluated Pearl Meyer's independence from the Company and determined that Pearl Meyer is independent
 primarily because it does not work for management of the Company, receives no compensation from the Company other than its work in advising the Compensation Committee and maintains no other economic relationships with the Company or any of its
 affiliates.

 Assessment of Market Data

 In assessing the competitiveness of executive compensation levels, the Compensation Committee analyzes market data of certain peer companies, including internally
 managed BDCs. This analysis focuses on the compensation practices at companies reasonably comparable in management structure, asset size, typical investment size and type and general business scope as compared to the Company. Each key element of
 compensation is reviewed, including: base salary, annual bonuses and any short- and/or long-term incentives.

 In regard to other internally managed BDCs like the Company, the Compensation Committee considers the compensation practices and policies pertaining to executive
 officers as detailed in their company's respective proxies, research analysts' reports and other publicly available information. The Compensation Committee may also rely on other available information to compare compensation practices and policies.

 Items taken into account from comparable companies include, but are not necessarily limited to, base compensation, bonus compensation, stock option awards, restricted
 stock awards and other compensation. In addition to actual levels of compensation, the Compensation Committee also considers other approaches comparable companies are taking with regard to overall executive compensation practices. Finally, in
 addition to analyzing comparable companies, the Compensation Committee also evaluates the relative cost structure of the Company as compared to peer companies.

 Assessment of Company Performance

 The Compensation Committee believes that improving financial performance coupled with improving stockholders' returns as well as proportional employee compensation are
 essential components for the Company's long-term business success. Accordingly, much emphasis is focused on increasing net asset value per share and net investment income. These metrics, along with stock price performance, are the key performance
 measures the Compensation Committee uses in its assessment of financial performance.

 The Company's investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation. The management team seeks to achieve this objective primarily through
 making loans, private equity or other investments in privately-held companies. Such investments are key drivers to stockholder returns and value. Achieving this strategy requires a methodical approach and active monitoring and management of our
 investment portfolio over time. A meaningful part of the Company's employee base is dedicated to the maintenance of asset values, the generation of new investment opportunities and sustaining and growing our net asset value, and thus stockholder
 returns and value. The Compensation Committee believes that stability of the management team is critical to achieving successful implementation of the Company's strategies. Further, the Compensation Committee, in establishing and assessing
 executive salary and bonuses, is focused on the Company's results as compared to its performance prior to undergoing the Internalization and not solely the performance of the Company relative to other comparable companies or industry metrics.

 Executive Compensation Components

 Overview

 For fiscal year 2023, the components of the Company's direct compensation for NEOs included base salary, discretionary cash bonuses, and long-term incentive awards
 ("LTIAs"). The Compensation Committee analyzed the competitiveness of the components of compensation described herein on both an individual and aggregate basis. The Compensation Committee believes that the total compensation paid to the NEOs for
 the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 is consistent with the overall objectives of the Company.

 The Compensation Committee designs each NEO's direct compensation package to appropriately reward the NEO for his or her contribution to the Company. The judgment and
 experience of the Compensation Committee are weighed with individual and Company performance metrics and in consultation with the Compensation Committee's independent third-party compensation consultant and the Company's Chief Executive Officer to
 determine the appropriate mix of compensation. The Compensation Committee does not target a specific level of compensation relative to market practice; rather, it used such data as a reference point when
 establishing compensation levels for NEOs. Both the cash compensation consisting of base salary and discretionary target bonuses as well as the LTIAs tied to achievement of corporate objectives, are intended to motivate NEOs to remain with the
 Company and work to achieve expected business objectives. Each of Mr. Lorber and Ms. McMillan serves at the pleasure of the Board of Directors, and neither is party to an employment agreement with the Company.

 For additional information regarding the compensation of the NEOs for fiscal year 2023, please refer to "2023 Compensation Determination" and
 "Compensation of Executive Officers."

 Base Salary

 Base salary is used to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of the NEOs in their roles. In connection with establishing the base
 salary of each NEO, the Compensation Committee and management consider a number of factors, including the seniority and experience level of the individual, the functional role of the position, the level of the individual's responsibility, the
 ability to replace the individual, the past base salary of the individual and the budgetary constraints of the Company. In addition, the Compensation Committee considers the base salaries paid to comparably situated executive officers and other
 competitive market practices. Relevant data is provided to the Compensation Committee by its independent third-party compensation consultant.

 The salaries of the NEOs are reviewed on an annual basis. The leading factors in determining increases in salary level are individual performance, Company performance,
 budgetary constraints and competitive pressures.

 For calendar year 2023, Mr. Lorber received an annual base salary of $530,000. For calendar year 2023, Ms. McMillan received an annual base salary equal to $350,000.
 Such amounts were determined to be appropriate with respect to the roles and responsibilities of the NEOs. The Compensation Committee's goal in setting the base salary levels for the NEOs is to adequately compensate the NEOs for expected base
 levels of performance and provide for the adequate retention of the NEOs. The Compensation Committee believes that the base salaries were competitive in the marketplace, consistent with budgetary constraints, and appropriate as a key component of
 an overall compensation package.

 Annual Cash Bonuses

 Annual cash bonuses are discretionary and are intended to reward individual performance during the year and can therefore be highly variable from year to year. Cash
 bonus awards for the NEOs are generally determined by the Compensation Committee annually on a discretionary basis based on performance criteria, particularly corporate and individual performance goals and other measures. Should actual performance
 exceed expected performance criteria, the Compensation Committee may adjust individual cash bonuses to take such superior performance into account. Likewise, should actual performance fall below expected performance criteria, the Compensation
 Committee may adjust individual cash bonuses to take such performance into account.

 Upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, Mr. Lorber's 2023 annual discretionary bonus was $1,395,000 which exceeded the target annual bonus amount which
 had been set at 137.5% of his base salary, as determined by the Compensation Committee in the manner described herein. Upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, Ms. McMillan's 2023 annual discretionary bonus was $540,000 which
 exceeded the target annual bonus amount which had been set at 80% of her base salary, as determined by the Compensation Committee in the manner described herein.

 The Compensation Committee considered several financial performance metrics as well as other factors when evaluating the cash bonuses paid to NEOs for 2023. The
 Compensation Committee considered such quantitative metrics as NAV per share, net investment income per share, and operating expenses (as a percentage of equity), as well as Mr. Lorber's and Ms. McMillan's respective performance versus the
 strategic goals that had been set for 2023. The Compensation Committee also consulted with its independent compensation consultant and also took into account Company budgetary constraints. The net result of
 these considerations resulted in the aforementioned discretionary annual cash bonuses being paid to the NEOs. In particular, cash bonuses paid to NEOs for 2023 performance included recognition of the Company's financial results, including net
 asset value ("NAV") per share growth, net investment income and key operational achievements.

 The amount of the annual cash bonus paid to each NEO for 2023 is presented under the caption entitled "Compensation of Executive Officers -
 Summary Compensation Table." The Compensation Committee believes that these annual cash bonus awards are individually appropriate based on 2023 performance. Such bonuses comprise a key component of the Company's overall compensation program.

 Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan

 On May 9, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the PhenixFIN 2022 Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan (the "CIP") pursuant to the recommendation by the
 Compensation Committee. The CIP provides for performance-based cash awards to key employees of the Company, as approved by the Compensation Committee, based on the achievement of pre-established financial goals for the relevant performance period.
 The performance goals may be expressed as one or a combination of net asset value of the Company, net asset value per share of the Company's common stock, changes in the market price of shares of the Company's common stock, individual performance
 metrics and/or such other goals and objectives the Compensation Committee considers relevant.

 The Compensation Committee in April 2022 approved awards for the three-year performance period commencing on October 1, 2021 and ending on September 30, 2024 (the
 "2022 LTIP Plan"). Each participant is eligible to receive an amount of cash equal to 0%-200% of his or her target performance award, based on the achievement of NAV and NAV per share goals (weighted at 30% and 70%, respectively) as of the end of
 the performance period (the "Performance Goals"). Performance is evaluated separately for each Performance Goal. Each Performance Goal is subject to (i) a threshold level of performance at which a percentage of the target performance award
 attributable to that Performance Goal may be paid and below which no payment is made pursuant to an award, (ii) a target level of performance at which 100% of the target performance award attributable to that Performance Goal may be paid and (iii)
 a maximum level of performance, at which 200% of the target performance award attributable to that Performance Goal may be paid, in each case subject to such other terms and conditions of an award. No payment is made with respect to a Performance
 Goal if a threshold level of performance is not achieved. Between threshold, target and maximum performance levels for each Performance Goal, the amount of the award attributed to the Performance Goal will be linearly interpolated.

 In December 2022, the Compensation Committee approved awards for Mr. Lorber and Ms. McMillan for the three-year performance period commencing on
 October 1, 2022 and ending on September 30, 2025 (the "2023 LTIP Plan"). Each participant is eligible to receive an amount of cash equal to 0%-200% of their target performance award, based on the achievement of NAV and NAV per share goals (weighted
 at 20% and 80%, respectively) as of the end of the performance period. Performance is evaluated separately for each Performance Goal. The threshold, target and maximum performance levels are structured similar to those of the April 2022 awards.

 The target performance award for both the 2022 LTIP Plan and 2023 LTIP Plan for each of Mr. Lorber and Ms. McMillan is $890,000 and $380,000,
 respectively. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an accrual of $318,000, for these awards. During the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record an accrual.

 Tax Deductibility of Compensation

 Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies to the extent compensation paid
 to any "covered employee" exceeds $1 million in a given taxable year. If we pay any of our "covered employees" compensation in excess of $1 million for any taxable year, the Company generally cannot deduct such excess compensation for U.S. federal
 income tax purposes. For purposes of Section 162(m), a "covered employee" includes our CEO and our CFO and any other NEO that the Company may designate in the future. In addition, once a person is determined to be a covered employee, such person
 continues to be a covered employee regardless of whether such person remains an NEO.

 While the Compensation Committee considers the deductibility of compensation as one factor in determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee also
 considers other factors in making compensation decisions and retains the flexibility to authorize amounts and forms of compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if such compensation
 is not deductible by the Company for tax purposes.

 Risk Management and Compensation Policies and Practices

 We believe that risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the
 Company. In addition, the Compensation Committee believes that the mix and design of the elements of executive compensation do not encourage management to assume excessive risks.

 The Compensation Committee has reviewed the elements of executive compensation to determine whether any portion of executive compensation encourages excessive risk
 taking and concluded: compensation is allocated among base salaries, discretionary cash bonuses, and LTIAs in such a way as to not encourage excessive risk-taking.

 Stockholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

 In accordance with applicable regulations, the Company held an advisory vote at the Company's 2023 annual meeting, whereby Company stockholders voted, on an advisory
 basis, on the approval of the compensation of the NEOs as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K. This proposal was approved by the requisite vote of shareholders.

 Conclusion

 We believe that our compensation policies and objectives are designed to fairly compensate, retain and motivate our NEOs and to ultimately reward them for outstanding
 performance. The retention and motivation of our NEOs should enable us to grow strategically and position ourselves competitively in the market in which we operate.

 Compensation Committee Report

 We have reviewed the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Based on our review as well as on our discussions with management, we recommend to the Board of
 Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2023.

 Item 13.

 Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 None.

 Director Independence

 Our Board of Directors annually evaluates each director's independence. That evaluation is made in accordance with the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, on which
 our shares are currently listed. We do not consider a director independent unless the Board of Directors has determined that he or she has no material relationship with us. We monitor the relationships of our directors and officers through the
 activities of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and through a questionnaire each director completes no less frequently than annually and updates periodically as information provided in the most recent questionnaire changes.

 Our governance guidelines require any director who has previously been determined to be independent to inform the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chairman
 of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of any change in circumstance that may cause his or her status as an independent director to change. The Board of Directors limits membership on the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate
 Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee to independent directors.

 In order to evaluate the materiality of any such relationship, the Board of Directors currently uses the definition of director independence set forth in the NASDAQ
 Listing Rules. Rule 5615(a)(5) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules provides that BDCs, such as the Company, are required to comply with all of the provisions of the Rule 5600 series applicable to domestic issuers other than, in applicable part, Rule
 5605(b), the section that defines director independence. A director of a BDC shall be considered to be independent if he or she is not an "interested person" of the Company, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. Section 2(a)(19) of the
 1940 Act defines an "interested person" to include, among other things, any person who has, or within the last two years had, a material business or professional relationship with the Company.

 The Board of Directors has determined that each of Arthur Ainsberg, Howard Amster, Karin Hirtler-Garvey and Lowell W. Robinson is independent, has no material
 relationship with the Company, and is a not an interested person (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Company. David Lorber is an interested person of the Company due to his position as Chief Executive Officer.

 Item 14.

 Principal Accountant Fees and Services
