Monthly Investment Highlights and Factsheet

During the month of April 2020:

v The Company generated a total NAV return of 0.91% for April 2020. The revenue return was 0.85% and the capital return was 0.06% for the month; and

v IFRS 9 reserves for expected credit losses (ECL) were flat on the month (-0.01%) as credit continued to perform well despite the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. The Company's ECL reserve as at 30 April 2020 represented 4.39% of the gross balance sheet investments, which is up slightly from 4.33% as at 31 March 2020 driven primarily by a reduction in the gross exposure from proceeds received during the month. The ECL reserve level is unrealised and based on realised losses seen on similar asset classes during the 2008 Financial Crisis. The ECL is calculated based on loss given default assumptions on our balance sheets deals and the modelling reflects a 100% likelihood of a stress scenario. As of this release we have had no defaults since the onset of the pandemic, and we will continue to reassess the reserve each month based on the underlying performance of the portfolio.

The Company's factsheet for April 2020 will shortly be available on the Company's website: https://vpcspecialtylending.com/.
