Looking a lot better than the last time he spoke about it. They were getting squeezed into a corner where they were losing on some investments. Didn't have a whole lot of cash, debt was higher, and the payout was looking tight. Recently came out with a press release, saying current investments were resetting their distributions, so there is more cash flow coming in from the reset. Also going to invest more money into 2 of their current investments, which will increase cash flow. If all this goes through successfully, they are expecting to take the payout ratio to just below 90%, a decent payout ratio for cash flow generator like this. Also announced they are going to be increasing the dividend if this final investment goes through. He would consider taking a half position until they finalize the closing of that final investment.
