Pipeline and Term Sheets

This compares to a Committed Backlog of $218.3 million to 15 companies at HRZN as of December 31, 2023. HRZN's portfolio companies have discretion whether to draw down such commitments and the right of a portfolio company to draw down its commitment is often subject to achievement of specific milestones and other conditions to borrowing. Accordingly, there is no assurance that any or all of these transactions will be funded by HRZN. Across the Horizon Platform, the quarter ended with an additional $4.7 million of unfunded loan approvals and commitments.
During the quarter, HTFM received a signed term sheet that is in the approval process, which may result in the Horizon Platform providing up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of new debt investments. These opportunities are subject to underwriting conditions including, but not limited to, the completion of due diligence, negotiation of definitive documentation and investment committee approval, as well as compliance with HTFM's allocation policy. Accordingly, there is no assurance that any or all of these transactions will be completed or funded by HRZN.
Warrant and Equity Portfolio
As of March 31, 2024, HRZN held a portfolio of warrant and equity positions in 99 portfolio companies, including 87 private companies, which provides the potential for future additional returns to HRZN's shareholders.

Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Horizon Tech Finance (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HRZN#NASDAQ">HRZN</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Friday that it would pay shareholders a monthly dividend of 11 cents per share. On Monday, Horizon Tech Finance will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 11 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Monday. Shareholders who own HRZN as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 11 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on April 16, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
