Please update in future filings to also include the aggregate disclosure required by Regulation § S-X 6-07.3. The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment. The Company respectfully directs the Staff to the language of Regulation § S-X 6-07.3 which states (emphasis added): “ Provide in the body of the statements or in the footnotes , the average dollar amount of borrowings and the average interest rate .” The Company has provided aggregate disclosure of these items: (i) Note 10 (Financial highlights) discloses the Company’s weighted average debt outstanding of $1.4 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 (as well as
