Thank you. Good morning and welcome to FSKKR Capital Corp's first quarter 2026 earnings conference call.

Today's conference call is being recorded and an audio replay of the call will be available for 30 days. Replay information is included in a press release that FSK issued this morning. In addition, FSK has posted on its website a presentation containing supplemental financial information with respect to its portfolio and financial performance for the quarter ended March 31st, 2026.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict.

FSK does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements unless required to do so by law. In addition, this call will include certain non-GAAP financial measures. For such measures, reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in FSK's first quarter earnings release that was filed with the SEC on May 11, 2026.

Thank you, Caitlin, and good morning, everyone. Thank you all for joining FSK's first quarter 2026 earnings conference call. As we start this morning's call, I would like to highlight two main points. First, it was a challenging quarter as our net asset value declined 9.9% per share, and our net investment income was 42 cents per share. Our NAV decline is attributed to portfolio company names we've discussed on these calls in the past, new non-accrual investments, and mark to market moves across certain sections of our portfolio. Second, As announced this morning, meaningful strategic actions are being taken to help improve the financial and trading profile of FSK. Dan is going to walk through the details of the four components here in a minute, but the goal of these actions is to provide the necessary support for FSK to navigate what will be a period of transition to achieve stability, which we expect will include a smaller-sized and better-positioned balance sheet over time. From a dividend perspective, our board has declared a second quarter distribution of 42 cents per share, which is consistent with our dividend policy of paying 100% of our GAAP net investment income on a per share basis. As we have indicated on prior earnings calls, we expect our quarterly distribution level will fluctuate as our net investment income fluctuates on a quarter to quarter basis. And with that, I'll turn the call over to Dan.
