This is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to purchase any security. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expense of Prospect Floating Rate and Alternative Income Fund, Inc. (“the Fund” or “PFLOAT”, “our”, “we” or “us”). This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the prospectus (as may be modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, the “prospectus”) and in the Fund’s SEC filings. Please read the prospectus, including the “Risk Factors” section, carefully before investing.

This presentation is for the confidential use of only those persons to whom it is transmitted. Do not copy. Do not distribute. By acceptance hereof, each recipient agrees not to transmit, reproduce or make available to anyone, in whole or in part, this presentation, any supplement hereto or any information contained herein or therein without the prior written consent of the Fund, or to use it for any purpose other than evaluating a possible investment. Each person who has received a copy of this presentation is deemed to have agreed (i) not to disclose any information contained in this presentation or any supplement hereto and (ii) to be responsible for any disclosure of this presentation, any supplement hereto or the information contained herein or therein, by such person or any of its employees, agents or representatives.

Certain statements made by us in this presentation that are not historical facts or that relate to future plans, events, or performances are forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements predict or describe our future operations, business plans, business and investment strategies, portfolio management, the performance of our investments, and other items. Our actual results or actions may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks of uncertainties including, but not limited to, the risks described under headings such as “Risk Factors” in the prospectus and in our SEC filings. All forward-looking statements are qualified by those risk factors. All statements made by us in this presentation are further qualified in all respects by the information disclosed in the prospectus and in our SEC filings. We disclaim any obligation to update our forward-looking statements unless required by law.

This presentation is not legal, tax, accounting or investment advice or a recommendation. You should consult your own counsel, tax and financial advisors. Certain information discussed in this presentation (including information relating to portfolio companies) was derived from third-party sources and has not been independently verified and, accordingly, the Fund makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or all of your investment. The ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective depends, in part, on the ability of its investment adviser to allocate effectively the assets of the Fund among the various securities and investments in which the Fund invests. There can be no assurance that the actual allocations will be effective in achieving the Fund’s investment objective or delivering positive returns. Investors may pay certain offering expenses and a sales load, as described in the prospectus. An investor will need to receive a total return at least in excess of these expenses to receive an actual return on its investment.

In addition, information related to past performance, while helpful as an evaluative tool, is not necessarily indicative of future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured. You should not view the past performance of the Fund, or information about the market, as indicative of the Fund’s future results. This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial loss of investment, as well as substantial fees and costs, all of which can impact an investor’s return. An investor should carefully consider the fees and expenses and other information found in the prospectus, including the “Risk Factors” section, before making an investment decision. These risks include:

-Our use of borrowed funds to make investments will expose us to risks typically associated with leverage.
-Rising interest rates may adversely affect the value of our portfolio investments, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
-The phase-out and cessation of LIBOR and the use of SOFR as a replacement rate may adversely affect the value of the LIBORindexed, floating-rate debt securities in our portfolio.
-We may suffer credit losses.
-Economic recessions or downturns could impair a company in which we invest and harm our operating results.
-Inflation can adversely impact our cost of capital and the value of our portfolio investments.
-Our financial results may be affected adversely if one or more of our significant equity or junior debt investments in a Collateralized Loan Obligation (“CLO”) vehicle defaults on our payment obligations or fails to perform as we expect.
-Our CLO investments will be exposed to leveraged credit risks.
-There is the potential for interruption and deferral of cash flow from CLO investments.
-The payment of underlying portfolio manager fees and other charges on CLO investments could adversely impact our return on our CLO investments.
-We have limited control of the administration and amendment of any CLO in which we invest.
-We will have no influence on management of underlying investments managed by non-affiliated third-party CLO collateral managers.
-Our portfolio companies may be highly leveraged.

An investor should not expect to be able to sell its shares of our common stock regardless of how we perform and should consider that it may not have access to the money it invests in us for an indefinite period of time. An investment in shares of our common stock is not suitable for an investor if the investor needs access to the money it invests.

We intend to continuously issue shares of our common stock and, as a result, your ownership in us is subject to dilution.

Nothing in this presentation should be construed as a recommendation to invest in any security or as legal, accounting, tax, regulatory, financial or other advice. Each prospective investor should make its own independent investigation and consult with its own advisors for independent advice as to the legal, accounting, tax, regulatory, financial and other aspects of any investment, especially with respect to the particular factors that are unique to such investor. In all cases, interested parties should conduct their own investigations and analyses of Prospect and the data set forth in this presentation. Tax rules and regulations are complex and their application can be unique to any specific beneficial owner. Prospect does not provide legal, tax or accounting advice and does not accept responsibility for any loss incurred as a result of reliance on the information contained in this presentation.

This presentation does not purport to be all-inclusive or otherwise contain all of the information that a prospective investor may need or desire concerning an investment.

Prospect does not undertake any duty or obligation to update or revise any of the information contained herein.

All investments involve risk, including the risk of loss of all or a portion of the invested amount. Any investment is subject to a variety of risks and there can be no assurance that any investment will meet its investment objectives, if any, or that investors will not incur losses.

Recipients should not view the past performance of PFLOAT, Prospect or any affiliate thereof as being indicative of future results. Actual results will vary and the variations may be material, such that actual investment returns may be lower or higher than those projected.

The achievement of investment returns is dependent on a multitude of factors, many of which are beyond the control of Prospect. Any portfolio characteristics shown herein, including position sizes and sector allocations, among others, are generally averages, are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect the investments of an actual portfolio, unless otherwise noted herein. The investment guidelines of an actual portfolio may permit or restrict investments that are materially different in size, nature and risk from those shown.
