Greetings and welcome to the Gladstone Capital Corporation third quarter earnings 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, Thank you, Mr. Gladstone. You may begin.

Thank you, Kate. That was a nice introduction. And good morning and hello to everyone out there. And this is David Gladstone, chairman. And this is the earnings conference call for Gladstone Capital for the quarter ending June 30, 2024. Thank you all for calling in. We're always happy to talk with our shareholders and the analysts who follow us and welcome the opportunity to provide an update. We now hear from our General Counsel, Michael Lacalce, who will make a statement regarding some certain forward-looking statements.

Michael? Thanks, David. Good morning, everybody. Today's report may include forward-looking statements on the Securities Act of 1933, 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 10-Q, 10-K, and other documents that we file with the SEC. You can find them on the investor's page of our website, www.gladstonecapital.com, where you can also sign up for our email notification service. You can also find them 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. Today's call is 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 investor's page of our website. With that, I'll turn it back to Gladstone Capital's President, Bob Marcotte.
