My co-CEO of GSBD and head of America's direct lending platform, David Miller, has decided to step down as co-CEO of GSBD effective December 31st of this year. At that point, I will become the sole CEO. David has worked at Goldman Sachs for 22 years and has 34 years in the private credit industry. Thank you for joining us today. In connection with this transition, Justin Betson has stepped into the role of co-president and co-COO alongside Tucker Greene. Justin is currently a vice president of GSBD and has held several positions within GSAM, and he is currently a managing director and senior underwriter in GSAM private credit in the Americas. Justin initially joined Goldman Sachs in 2006. The platform will also continue to be supported by a deep bench of experienced investment professionals Thanks, Vivek.

I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished together and what this broader platform has achieved over the years. Looking back, I've seen the industry navigate multiple credit cycles, the ups and the downs, and I've watched the resiliency of the Goldman Sachs platform prove itself time and again. I've had the privilege of working alongside an exceptionally talented group of people. I know this fund and this platform are in great hands. and I have full confidence in my colleagues' leadership and continued success. I also want to thank the board of directors for their partnership and support, our investors for their continued trust, and finally, my colleagues and team for their hard work and dedication in making this platform the best place to work throughout these years. It has been an honor to work with you all and I'm excited to see your future success. I'll now turn the call back over to Vivek.
