accomplished over the last ten years, particularly the long-standing partnerships that we have developed with our investors and
the companies in which our firm invests. PennantPark has consistently differentiated itself with a disciplined approach in

- Deploying over $6 billion in more than 430 companies (over 170 sponsors).

whom have worked together collaboratively for over two decades.
