Carlyle Secured Lending, Inc.

Good day and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Carlyle Secured Lending First Quarter 2023 Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question and answer session. Please be advised today's conferences be recorded. And I would like to hand it to your speaker today, Daniel Hahn.

Please go ahead. Good morning.

and welcome to Carlyle Secured Lending's first quarter 2023 earnings call. With me on the call this morning is Aaron Lee Kong, our Chief Executive Officer, and Tom Hennigan, our Chief Financial Officer. Last night, we filed our Form 10-2 initiative press release with a presentation of our results, which are available on the investor relations section of our website. Following our remarks today, we will hold a question and answer session for analysts and institutional investors. This call is being webcast, and a replay will be available on our website. Any forward-looking statements made today do not guarantee future performance, and any undue reliance should not be placed on that. These statements are based on current management expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including those identified in the risk factor section of our annual report on Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated. Carlisle Secured Lending assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements at any time. With that, I'll turn the call over to Aaron.
