If BBDC was to merge with TPVG, what would be the pro forma industry exposure for Business Services (investments at fair value as a percentage of total, based on end of September 30, 2025 data)? Use the latest 10-Q reports for each company. Consider only industry categories referring explicitly to business services in the category name. Within TPVG's combined "Business Products and Services" category, assume that only Muon is not a services provider. Present the exposure as a % to 2 decimal places. Give me my answers back in here.

Using the comps file, refine the BBDC peer set and rebuild the valuation range as of 18 Nov 2025. Use operating data for the 9M to end of 2025Q3 to derive implied prices. 1. Exclude all peers with AUM > 5,000 (values expressed in millions in the file) and exclude TSLX, GBDC, and TRIN from the peer set. 2. For the remaining peers, calculate for P/NAV, P/E, and P/Sales: 25th percentile (P25), Median, and 75th percentile (P75). 3. Derive BBDC valuation cases: Bear = P25, Base = Median, Bull = P75. 4. For each case, compute the implied equity value under each multiple, average the implied values to get the final Bear/Base/Bull equity value, and calculate % upside vs BBDC’s equity value as of 11/18/25. Output a short message with the final Bear/Base/Bull equity values and % upside for each. Give $ rounded to thousands and no decimal places, and percentages and multiples to 2 decimal places.

Calculate the accretion / dilution of both BBDC and TVPG shareholders, sensitized for different Cash consideration and Bid Premium. Edit the existing merger model and add two sensitivity analyses: one showing BBDC accretion/dilution and one showing TVPG accretion/dilution, each sensitized to bid premium (10% and 20%) and cash consideration (10% and 15%). Assume an increase of EBIT Synergies by 480bps and a 210bps decrease in post-deal bidder share price downside. All output values should be in %, rounded to 2 decimal places.

To evaluate where economic value is created in the BBDC & TPVG merger, use the comps and merger models to build a four step value creation bridge. Write your reply to me here. Set the merger model to the 9M TTM 2025 account. Return the incremental change in value (%) between each scenario, the Pro Forma Implied EV after dilution, and total value creation vs standalone % (all to 2 decimal places). Here are the Scenarios: - 1. BBDC Standalone Implied Equity Value based on LTM NAV, LTM NII, and LTM Sales from the valuation model and median P/NAV, P/E, and P/S multiples on all comps from the comps file; - 2. Standalone + Synergies Implied Equity Value using run-rate synergies from the merger model; - 3. Add TPVG NAV Contribution (Pre-Dilution) using TPVG’s standalone NAV from the merger model; - 4. Pro Forma Implied Equity Value (After Dilution) using PF NAV, PF NII, PF Sales, and PF shares from the merger model.
