Traders should monitor the closing date announcement and NAV determination, which will set the final exchange ratio. The $0.75 per share cash distribution represents immediate value realization for MRCC holders, while the fee waivers and HRZN's supplemental distributions may support near-term yield stability. Consider positioning ahead of expected closing within the next month.
