Executive compensation

119 staff comments in this corpus, to 113 registrants, across 11 of the 15 calendar quarters this corpus covers.

Coverage is partial and not continuous. This corpus holds CORRESP filings from 2023Q1–2026Q3 (83–100% of each quarter's EDGAR total). It holds nothing filed after 2026-07-17. If an issue page shows no comment from one of those periods, the reason is that edgarwiki has no data for it — not that the staff raised nothing. Counts on this site are counts within this corpus and are not SEC-wide totals. Every quotation is verbatim and links to its filing; what is incomplete is coverage, not accuracy.

By the quarter the CORRESP filing was filed. The third column is how much of that quarter's EDGAR CORRESP output this corpus holds — read it before comparing two rows. A quarter marked never ingested contributes no comments to this page for reasons that have nothing to do with the SEC.

9. On page 7, the disclosure states, “The investment adviser may consider environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors that, depending on the facts and circumstances, are material to the value of an issuer or instrument. ESG factors may include, but are not limited to, environmental issues (e.g., water use, emission levels, waste, environmental remediation), social issues (e.g., human capital, health and safety, changing customer behavior) or governance issues (e.g., board composition, executive compensation, shareholder dilution).” a. Please disclose whether the investment adviser applies the criteria it uses with respect to environmental, social or governance factors with respect to every investment it makes or only to some of its investments.
The company responded
We believe the analysis of material ESG issues as part of our fundamental research can help us understand long-term risks and opportunities of an investment. As indicated in the disclosure, “The investment adviser may consider environmental, social and governance (‘ESG’) factors that, depending on the facts and circumstances, are material to the value of an issuer or instrument.” We believe the current disclosure is clear that ESG factors may be considered where such factors are material to the value of an investment. b. Explain whether an investment could be made in a company that scores poorly on ESG if it scores strongly on other non-ESG factors.

Based upon your effective tax rate reconciliation in Note 12, there appears to be material factors impacting your net tax benefit for the year ended June 30, 2024, including, but not limited to, foreign taxes, tax credits, and non-deductible executive compensation. Please tell us, and revise your narrative in future filings to address, the underlying reasons these items impacted your effective tax rate during fiscal 2024 so that readers Morgan, Lewis & Bockius llp 1400 Page Mill Road Palo Alto, CA 94304 +1.650.843.4000 United States +1.650.843.4001 Securities and Exchange Commission April 25, 2025 Page 2 can fully understand the variances and assess the continuing impact on your company. Refer to Item 303(b)(2) of Regulation S-K .
The company responded
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectively advises the Staff that the Company incurred tax expense of $3.6 million for fiscal 2024 as compared to $5.9 million tax expense for 2023. The primary reason for the $2.3 million change in tax expense during fiscal 2024 as compared to 2023 was due to the $2.3 million difference in foreign tax differentials, which was what the Company explained and disclosed in the MD&A on Page 52 of the Form 10-K. The dollar amount differences in tax credits and non-deductible executive compensation for both fiscal years were immaterial. The reason for the large percentage differences in the effective tax rate reconciliation in Note 12 was primarily due to the smaller amount of pretax book loss of $2.6 million as the denominator in the calculation of effective tax rate reconciliation in fiscal 2024, as compared to the larger amount of pretax…

26. The disclosure states, “The Adviser and Sub-Adviser may consider environmental, social and governance (‘ESG’) factors that, depending on the facts and circumstances, are material to the value of an issuer or instrument, or on the issuer’s or instrument’s ability to create or preserve economic value. ESG factors may include, but are not limited to, environmental issues (e.g., water use, emission levels, waste, environmental remediation), social issues (e.g., human capital, health and safety, changing customer behavior) or governance issues (e.g., board composition, executive compensation, shareholder dilution).” (a) Please disclose whether the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser applies the criteria it uses with respect to environmental, social or governance factors with respect to every investment it makes or only to some of its investments.
The company responded
As the disclosure provides, each of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser considers ESG factors on a case-by-case basis, and only to the extent they are material to the investment case, as determined by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser, as applicable (see, e.g., the reference in the excerpted statement above to “may consider” and “depending on the facts and circumstances.”) We believe the above referenced disclosure is sufficiently clear on this point and respectfully decline to expand the disclosure as suggested. (b) Explain whether an investment could be made in a company that scores poorly on ESG if it scores strongly on other non-ESG factors.

1. Your response to prior comment 1 states that the restatement did not impact your executive compensation payments and, thus, no recovery was required. This was because the performance-based portion of your executive compensation payments was calculated and finalized based on financial results provided in your year-end financial statements, which already took into account the adjustments to the first three quarters of 2023 that resulted from the restatement, and the time-based RSUs were not granted on the basis of your performance or financial results.

12. On page 10, the disclosure states, “The investment adviser may consider environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors that, depending on the facts and circumstances, are material to the value of an issuer or instrument. ESG factors may include, but are not limited to, environmental issues (e.g., water use, emission levels, waste, environmental remediation), social issues (e.g., human capital, health and safety, changing customer behavior) or governance issues (e.g., board composition, executive compensation, shareholder dilution).” a. Please disclose whether the investment adviser applies the criteria it uses with respect to environmental, social or governance factors with respect to every investment it makes or only to some of its investments.
The company responded
We believe the analysis of material ESG issues as part of our fundamental research can help us understand long-term risks and opportunities of an investment. As indicated in the disclosure, “The investment adviser may consider environmental, social and governance (‘ESG’) factors that, depending on the facts and circumstances, are material to the value of an issuer or instrument.” We believe the current disclosure is clear that ESG factors may be considered where such factors are material to the value of an investment. b. Explain whether an investment could be made in a company that scores poorly on ESG if it scores strongly on other non-ESG factors.

While Company-Selected Measure disclosure is not subject to Regulation G or Item 10(e) of Regulation S- K, you must disclose how the measure is calculated from your audited financial statements. We see in footnote 4 to the pay versus performance table your reference to disclosure in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for each year’s proxy statement; however, we are only able to locate a discussion of non-GAAP diluted EPS with a list of adjustments thereto on page 26, and it is unclear whether this is meant to satisfy the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.

In the Peer Group Total Shareholder Return column of the pay versus performance table, the Company references the health care REITs in the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index (the “Index”). Health care REITs are a component of the Index that is separately identified by the producer of the Index, FTSE Russell. The same group of companies is listed as the peer group on page 24 of the Proxy Statement for disclosures pursuant to Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K. In future filings, the Company will separately identify each company in the calculation of the Peer Group Total Shareholder Return column of the pay versus performance table by cross reference to the peer group disclosures pursuant to Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K.
