Greetings and welcome to the Gladstone Capital Corporation fourth quarter earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A brief question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, David Gladstone, Chief Executive Officer. Please proceed, sir.

Okay, thank you very much. Tanya, this is what, the 10th time we've talked with you on there. This is very nice. This is David Gladstone, chairman, and this is the earnings conference call for Gladstone Capital for the quarter end and also the fiscal year end of September 30th, 2023. Thank you all for calling in. We're always happy to talk with our shareholders and the analysts that follow us and an opportunity to provide updates with regard to the corporation. And now we'll hear from our General Counsel, Michael Lacalze, who will make a statement regarding certain forward-looking statements. Michael.

David, good morning, everybody. Today's report may include forward-looking statements under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including those regarding our future performance. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that are based on our current plans, which we believe to be reasonable. And many factors may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including all risk factors in the forms 10-K, 10-Q, and other documents we file with the SEC. You'll find them on the investors' page of our website. That's gladstonecapital.com. While you're on there, you can also sign up for our email notification service. You'll find the documents on the SEC's website as well, www.sec.gov. Now, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. And just a reminder, today's call is an overview of our results, so we ask that you review our press release and Form 10-K, both issued yesterday, for more detailed information. Again, go to the investor's page of our website to find them. Now, I'll turn the call over to Gladstone Capital's President, Bob Marcotte.
