Greetings and welcome to the Gladstone Capital Corporation Second 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, Mr. David Gladstone, Chief Executive Officer. Thank you, sir. You may begin.

Thank you, LaTanya. That was a nice introduction. And hello, everybody. This is David Gladstone, Chairman, and this is the earning conference call for Gladstone Capital for the quarter ending March 31st, 2024. Thank you all for calling in. We're always happy to talk with our shareholders and analysts and welcome the opportunity to provide updates to the company. I hope we have some good questions today, but we're going to start off first with our General Counsel Michael Lacalce, he's going to make a few statements regarding forward-looking statements. Michael?

Thanks, 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. Now, these forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that are based on our current plans, which we believe to be reasonable. 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 our Forms 10Q, 10K, and other documents that we file with the SEC, and you can find them on our Investors page of our website, gladstonecapital.com. And while you're on there, you can also sign up for our email notification service. You can also find the documents on the SEC's website, which is 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. Now, today's call is simply an overview of our results, so we ask that you review our press release and Form 10-Q, both issued yesterday, for more detailed information. Again, you can find them on the Investors page of our website. With that, I'll turn the call over to Gladstone Capital's President, Bob Marcotte.
