Fixed Compensation
- None of TSLX’s executive officers receives direct compensation from the Company; services are provided by employees of the Adviser or its affiliates under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements, with reimbursement to the Adviser for allocable portions related to certain operational roles (e.g., CCO, CFO) .
- The Adviser or its affiliates may pay additional salaries, bonuses, and individual performance awards to executive officers; amounts for Peck are not disclosed by TSLX .
- TSLX has no equity compensation plans and does not grant options; therefore, there is no company equity award timing policy .
Performance Compensation
- Performance metrics tied to compensation (e.g., revenue growth, EBITDA, TSR, ESG goals) for Peck are not disclosed by TSLX, given executives are compensated by the Adviser rather than the Company .
- The Company does not grant RSUs/PSUs/options; any incentive pay would be at the Adviser level and is not reported in TSLX’s proxy .

- Insider trading/hedging/pledging policy: directors, officers, and Adviser employees must pre‑clear trades; short sales and transactions in publicly traded options are prohibited; other hedging (e.g., exchange funds) is strongly discouraged and requires approval; Company securities may not be held in margin accounts or pledged as collateral, with limited exceptions requiring demonstrated capacity to repay without resort to pledged securities .
- Pledging disclosures: certain officers/directors have pledged shares (e.g., Easterly, Fishman, Stiepleman, Stanley), and an aggregate of 64,609 shares held by certain officers were pledged; no pledging is specifically attributed to Peck in the proxy .
Employment Terms
- Position and tenure: Vice President of TSLX since 2022; indefinite term of office .
- Employment structure: TSLX is externally managed; executives are employees of the Adviser or its affiliates. The Company discloses no individual employment agreements, severance, or change‑of‑control provisions for executives such as Peck, and it does not directly compensate executive officers .
- SOX Code of Business Conduct and Ethics: applies to executive officers; no material changes or waivers disclosed for principal executive or financial officers .
- Business address disclosure for executive officers: 2100 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1500, Dallas, TX 75201 .
Investment Implications
- Pay‑for‑performance transparency is limited: as an externally managed BDC, TSLX does not disclose executive‑specific compensation metrics or amounts for Peck; there are no company equity plans or options that could create short‑term selling pressure or vesting catalysts at the Company level .
- Alignment and trading signals: Company policy materially restricts hedging, short sales, derivatives, margin holdings, and pledging, reducing misalignment risks; while pledging exists among certain officers, no pledging is attributed to Peck in filings .
- Retention risk: Peck holds an indefinite term as Vice President and a senior legal role at the Adviser, but TSLX does not disclose employment contracts, severance or change‑of‑control economics for executives employed by the Adviser; thus, retention assessments require Adviser‑level information not available in Company filings .
- Governance comfort: Peck’s legal background, licensing, and external non‑profit roles suggest strong governance credentials; however, company‑level performance metrics (e.g., TSR, revenue/EBITDA growth) are not tied to disclosed compensation for him, limiting direct pay‑for‑performance evaluation from TSLX disclosures .
