for maintaining our disciplined approach with leverage and liquidity. During the quarter, the advisor earned approximately $1.3 million of income incentive fees, all of which were waived. As a reminder, the existing income incentive fee waiver remains in place through the end of fiscal 2026. Subsequent to quarter end, we completed the disposition of our Prodigy investment at their June 30 fair value together with accrued cash interest. Combined with the partial monetization of our Revolut investment, these transactions have meaningfully enhanced our financial flexibility and provide additional optionality as we continue to thoughtfully allocate capital across new originations and actively manage the balance sheet. Also subsequent to quarter end, our board declared a supplemental dividend totaling 12 cents per share, payable in two equal installments on September 30, 2026, and December 30, 2026. The supplemental dividend reflects the distribution of undistributed taxable income from the prior year and should be viewed separately from the company's recurring quarterly dividend. Our objective continues to be to improve the quality of the portfolio and its long-term earnings power while strengthening the balance sheet, maintaining prudent leverage and preserving the financial flexibility to allocate capital to opportunities we believe will create long-term shareholder value. That concludes my prepared remarks. Operator, please open the lines for questions.

Thank you. Good afternoon. I appreciate you taking my question. First, can you discuss the competitive environment that you're seeing in venture lending today? What are you seeing with regards to banks and non-banks in the space?
Jim LeBay
President & CEO
Yeah, I would say, as Jim's speaking, there really hasn't been a meaningful change. From a competitive standpoint, at least for us, the biggest competition is equity, given what's going on in the market. And that hasn't changed, and that's been over time. When it comes to other banks and non-banks, we're definitely seeing a step up of interest in commercial banks. particularly given the increase in venture equity. And there's been a trend and we're part of it of working and partnering with commercial banks as opposed to competing against them. Haven't seen any significant changes on the non-bank versus non-bank side. There's still very few folks that are participating at any kind of scale in this segment as well as none which have The advantages of the differentiators, relationship, reputation, experience, and other structural things that we have here at TriplePoint.

Great. Thank you, Jim. I appreciate that. Can you discuss the process of selling the Prodigy loan, I think, subsequent to quarter end? Was this something that you've been looking to do for multiple quarters for this loan specifically? And then is there any detail that you're able to share on the buyer, at least broadly?
Unknown
Head of Portfolio Management
I think as we talk Oh, yeah, sorry, Mike. I would say, again, as we thought about our goals of repositioning TDVG and positioning it for the future, so I think we looked at criteria of portfolio diversification, income generating cash or income generating assets. So I think as part of our strategy, we identified that that loan is one that would make sense to to liquidate or generate liquidity against. And so we conducted a process in coordination with the company and were able to coordinate or identify a European lender that was familiar with the company and we were able to transact the transaction with them. I think details will be in our queue, but relatively straightforward transaction. Thank you.
