Thanks, Katie, and thank you for joining us for TCPC’s Q1 2024 earnings call, which is also officially the first earnings call for TCPC as a combined entity post our successful combination with our former affiliate BDC, BlackRock Capital Investment Corp. or BCIC.

Today I am joined by our President, Phill Tseng; and our CFO, Erik Cuellar. We are also joined today by Michaela Murray, who will be taking over the Investor Relations role from Katie McGlynn, who is leading the firm to pursue other opportunities. I’d like to officially welcome Michaela to the show.
