THL Credit, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

1. Organization

THL Credit, Inc., or the Company, was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 26, 2009. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or 1940 Act. The Company has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or as amended, the Code. In 2009, the Company was treated for tax purposes as a corporation. The Company’s investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation, primarily through privately negotiated investments in debt and equity securities of lower middle market companies.

In November 2016, the Company completed a public debt offering selling $25,000 of 6.75% Notes due 2022, including the exercise of the overallotment option, through a group of underwriters, less an underwriting discount, and received net proceeds of $24,250.

The Company has established wholly owned subsidiaries, THL Credit AIM Media Holdings Inc., THL Credit Holdings, Inc. and THL Credit YP Holdings Inc. The Company also established another subsidiary, THL Credit OEMG Investor Inc., to hold its equity interest in OEM Group, LLC, where it holds a majority interest. These subsidiaries are structured as Delaware entities, or tax blockers, to hold equity or equity-like investments in portfolio companies organized as limited liability companies, or LLCs (or other forms of pass-through entities). Corporate subsidiaries are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may incur income tax expense as a result of their ownership of portfolio companies.

The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, THL Corporate Finance, Inc., which serves as the administrative agent on certain investment transactions.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Updates

Basis of Presentation

The Company is an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services Investment Companies.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company generally will not consolidate its interest in any company other than in investment company subsidiaries and controlled operating companies substantially all of whose business consists of providing services to the Company. The Company has made changes to the presentation of prior year information to comply with current year presentation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial results included herein contain all adjustments, consisting solely of normal accruals, considered necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim period included herein. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the period ending December 31, 2017.

The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017. The financial results of the Company’s portfolio companies are not consolidated in the financial statements.

The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars.

24


 

Consolidation

The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies and will not generally consolidate its investment in a company other than substantially owned investment company subsidiaries or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. The Company consolidated the results of its substantially owned subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements. In conjunction with the consolidation of subsidiaries, the Company recognizes the non-controlling interest in THL Credit OEMG Investor, Inc. in its consolidated financial statements. The Company does not consolidate its non-controlling interest in THL Credit Logan JV LLC, or Logan JV. See also the disclosure under the heading, Significant Accounting Policies—THL Credit Logan JV LLC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, creditworthiness of our portfolio companies and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ and these differences could be material.

Cash

Cash consists of funds held in demand deposit accounts at several financial institutions and, at certain times, balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit and is therefore subject to credit risk. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs consist of fees and expenses paid in connection with the closing of the Credit Facilities (as defined in Note 7 hereto) and public debt offering of Notes (as defined in Note 7 hereto). These costs are capitalized at the time of payment and are amortized using the straight line and effective yield methods over the term of the Credit Facilities and Notes, respectively. Capitalized deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan Facility (as defined in Note 7 hereto) and Notes are presented net against the respective balances outstanding on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Capitalized deferred financing costs related to the Revolving Facility are presented separately on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. See also the disclosure in Note 7, Borrowings.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of the Company’s common stock, including legal, accounting, printing fees and other related expenses, as well as costs incurred in connection with the filing of a shelf registration statement. These amounts are capitalized when incurred and recognized as a reduction of offering proceeds when the offering becomes effective or expensed upon expiration of the registration statement.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenues consist of proceeds received for interest and other fees for which the earnings process is not yet complete. Such amounts will be recognized into income over such time that the income is earned. These amounts are included within other deferred liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Interest Rate Derivative

The Company recognizes derivatives as either interest rate derivative assets or liabilities at fair value on its Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities with valuation changes and interest rate payments recorded as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on interest rate derivative and interest rate derivative periodic interest payments, net, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See also the disclosure in Note 8, Interest Rate Derivative.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s long-term obligations are disclosed in Note 7, Borrowings.

25


 

Valuation of Investments

The Company accounts for its Investment Portfolio at fair value. As a result, the Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires the Company to assume that the portfolio investment is to be sold in the principal market to independent market participants, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact.

Investments, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or broker-dealers or market makers. Debt and equity securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are not considered to be the best estimate of fair value, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors. Because the Company expects that there will not be a readily available market value for many of the investments in the Company’s portfolio, it is expected that many of the Company’s portfolio investments’ values will be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors in accordance with a documented valuation policy that has been reviewed and approved by our board of directors and in accordance with GAAP. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Company’s board of directors undertakes a multi- step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

the Company’s quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment;

 

preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of THL Credit Advisors LLC, or the Advisor;

 

to the extent determined by the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors, independent valuation firms are used to conduct independent appraisals and review the Advisor’s preliminary valuations in light of their own independent assessment;

 

the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of the Advisor and independent valuation firms and, if necessary, responds and supplements the valuation recommendation of the independent valuation firms to reflect any comments; and

 

the Company’s board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Advisor, the respective independent valuation firms and the audit committee.

The types of factors that the Company may take into account in fair value pricing its investments include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. The Company generally utilizes an income approach to value its debt investments and a combination of income and market approaches to value its equity investments. With respect to unquoted securities, the Advisor and the Company’s board of directors, in consultation with the Company’s independent third party valuation firms, values each investment considering, among other measures, discounted cash flow models, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public and other factors, which valuation is then approved by the board of directors.

Debt Investments

For debt investments, the Company generally determines the fair value primarily using an income, or yield, approach that analyzes the discounted cash flows of interest and principal for the debt security, as set forth in the associated loan agreements, as well as the financial position and credit risk of each portfolio investment. The Company’s estimate of the expected repayment date is generally the legal maturity date of the instrument. The yield analysis considers changes in leverage levels, credit quality, portfolio company performance and other factors. The enterprise value, a market approach, is used to determine the value of equity and debt investments that are credit impaired, close to maturity or where the Company also holds a controlling equity interest. The method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis, whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA. The collateral valuation analysis is utilized when repayment is based on the sale of the underlying collateral. This new technique was initially implemented by the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  

26


 

Interest Rate Derivative

The Company values its interest rate derivative agreement using an income approach that analyzes the discounted cash flows associated with the interest rate derivative agreement. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flows methodology include the forward interest rate yield curves in effect as of the end of the measurement period and an evaluation of the counterparty’s credit risk.

Collateralized Loan Obligations

The Company values its residual interest investments in collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, using an income approach that analyzes the discounted cash flows of its residual interest. The discounted cash flows model utilizes prepayment, re-investment and loss assumptions based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow, and comparable yields for similar collateralized loan obligation fund subordinated notes or equity, when available. Specifically, the Company uses Intex cash flow models, or an appropriate substitute to form the basis for the valuation of the Company’s residual interest. The models use a set of assumptions including projected default rates, recovery rates, re-investment rates and prepayment rates in order to arrive at estimated cash flows. The assumptions are based on available market data and projections provided by third parties as well as management estimates.

Payment Rights

The Company values its investment in payment rights using an income approach that analyzes the discounted projected future cash flow streams assuming an appropriate discount rate, which will among other things consider other transactions in the market, the current credit environment, performance of the underlying portfolio company and the length of the remaining payment stream.

Equity

The Company generally uses the market approach to value its equity investments. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in fair value pricing the Company’s investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, the current investment performance rating, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, transaction comparables, the Company’s principal market as the reporting entity and enterprise values, among other factors.

Investment in Funds

In circumstances in which net asset value per share of an investment is determinative of fair value, the Company estimates the fair value of an investment in an investment company using the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) without further adjustment if the net asset value per share of the investment is determined in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies as of the reporting entity’s measurement date.

Foreign Currency

Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

cash and cash equivalents, market value of investments, outstanding debt on revolving credit facilities, other assets and liabilities: at the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period; and

 

purchases and sales of investments, borrowings and repayments of such borrowings, income and expenses: at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, the Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Fluctuations arising from the translation of foreign currency borrowings are included with the net change in unrealized gains (losses) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies on the consolidated statements of operations.

27


 

Investments denominated in foreign currencies and foreign currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

The Company’s current approach to hedging the foreign currency exposure in its non-U.S. dollar denominated investments is   primarily to borrow the necessary local currency under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility to fund these investments.

Security Transactions, Payment-in-Kind, Income Recognition, Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses

Security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, using the specific identification method. Net realized gains and losses reflect the impact of investments written off during the period, if any. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company reports changes in fair value of the interest rate derivative that is measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate derivative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Original issue discount, representing the estimated fair value of detachable equity or warrants obtained in conjunction with the acquisition of debt securities and market discount or premium are capitalized and accreted or amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts and premiums and upfront loan origination fees.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when it is no longer probable that principal or interest will be collected. However, the Company may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. The Company records the reversal of any previously accrued income against the same income category reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had loans on non-accrual status with an amortized cost basis of $32,371 and fair value of $19,656. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had loans on non-accrual status with an amortized cost basis of $21,127 and fair value of $18,746.

The Company has investments in its portfolio which contain a contractual paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest provision. PIK interest is computed at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement, is added to the principal balance of the investment, and is recorded as income. The Company will cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or if the Company does not expect amounts to be collectible and will generally only begin to recognize PIK income again when all principal and interest have been paid or upon the restructuring of the investment where the interest is deemed collectable. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, PIK interest income, which is considered investment company taxable income, must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. Amounts necessary to pay these dividends may come from available cash.

The following shows a rollforward of PIK income activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

Interest income from the Company’s TRA and CLO residual interests is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity using anticipated cash flows. Amounts in excess of income recognized are recorded as a reduction to the cost basis of the investment. The Company monitors the anticipated cash flows from its TRA and CLO residual interests and will adjust its effective yield periodically as needed.

The Company capitalizes and amortizes upfront loan origination fees received in connection with the closing of investments. The unearned income from such fees is accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the loan based on the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees, and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income.

28


 

The Company will recognize any earned exit or back-end fees into income when it believes the amounts will ultimately become collected by using either the beneficial interest model or other appropriate income recognition frameworks.

In certain investment transactions, the Company may provide advisory services. For services that are separately identifiable and external evidence exists to substantiate fair value, income is recognized as earned. The Company had no income from advisory services related to portfolio companies for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

The Company may also generate revenue in the form of fees from the management of Greenway and Greenway II, prepayment premiums, commitment, loan origination, structuring or due diligence fees, exit fees, portfolio company administration fees, fees for providing significant managerial assistance and consulting fees.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes, Including Excise Tax

The Company has elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and currently qualifies, and intends to continue to qualify each year, as a RIC under the Code. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders.

In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, the Company is required to distribute annually to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on undistributed earnings, the Company is required to distribute each calendar year the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income for such calendar year (ii) 98.2% of its net capital gains for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year (iii) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax. The Company, at its discretion, may choose not to distribute all of its taxable income for the calendar year and pay a non-deductible 4% excise tax on this income. If the Company chooses to do so, all other things being equal, this would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, the Company accrues excise taxes on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned using an annual effective excise tax rate.

The annual effective excise tax rate is determined by dividing the estimated annual excise tax by the estimated annual taxable income. See also the disclosure in Note 10, Distributions, for a summary of the dividends paid. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred U.S. federal excise tax and other tax expenses of $19 and $85, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred U.S. federal excise tax and other tax expenses of $310 and $310, respectively.

Certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. These taxable entities are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax liabilities or assets from permanent and temporary differences in the recognition of items for financial reporting and income tax purposes at the subsidiaries.

These current and deferred income taxes are determined from taxable income estimates provided by portfolio companies where the Company holds equity or equity-like investments organized as pass-through entities in its corporate subsidiaries. These tax estimates may be subject to further change once tax information is finalized for the year. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $39 and $112, respectively, of income tax receivable was included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $728 and $0, respectively, of income taxes payable were included in income taxes payable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities relating to a current tax provision for taxable ordinary income and realized gains for a consolidated blocker corporation. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $4,944 and $4,518, respectively, were included in deferred tax

29


 

liability on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities primarily relating to deferred taxes on unrealized gains on investments and other temporary book to tax differences held in its corporate subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $5,327 (net of $381 allowance) and $2,442 (net of $2,115 allowance), respectively of deferred tax assets were included in deferred tax assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities relating to net operating loss carryforwards and unrealized losses on investments and other temporary book to tax differences that are expected to be used in future periods.

Under the RIC Modernization Act (the “RIC Act”), we are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during post-enactment taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under the rules applicable to pre-enactment capital losses.

Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The Company follows the provisions under the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. The provisions require management to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. There are no unrecognized tax benefits or obligations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Although the Company files U.S. federal and state tax returns, the Company’s major tax jurisdiction is U.S. federal. The Company’s U.S. federal tax years subsequent to 2013 remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Dividends

Dividends and distributions to stockholders are recorded on the applicable record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Company’s board of directors on a quarterly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually out of assets legally available for such distributions, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

Capital transactions in connection with the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan are recorded when shares are issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall”, which makes limited amendments to the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The new standard significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted specifically for the amendments pertaining to the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. Early adoption of all other amendments is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which amends the criteria for revenue recognition where an entity enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or where there is a transfer of nonfinancial assets. Under ASU 2016-10, an entity should recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2016-10 will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)”, which seeks to reduce diversity in how certain cash payments are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. Under ASU 2016-15, an entity will need to conform to the presentation as prescribed for eight specific cash flow issues. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

30


 

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-19, “Technical Corrections and Improvements (Topic 820)”, which includes minor corrections and clarifications that affect a wide variety of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification, including an amendment to Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, which clarifies the difference between a valuation approach and a valuation technique when applying the guidance of that Topic. The amendment also requires an entity to disclose when there has been a change in either or both a valuation approach and/or a valuation technique.  The transition guidance for the Topic 820 amendment must be applied prospectively because it could potentially involve the use of hindsight that includes fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for all entities beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and any further required disclosures surrounding changes to valuation approach and/or a valuation technique are disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Company discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). If any transfers occur between the levels or categories of the fair value hierarchy, they are assumed to have occurred at the beginning of the period. The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3—Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by management.

The Company considers whether the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifies transactions that are not orderly in determining fair value. Accordingly, if the Company determines that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value. Valuation techniques such as an income approach might be appropriate to supplement or replace a market approach in those circumstances.

The Company has adopted the authoritative guidance under GAAP for estimating the fair value of investments in investment companies that have calculated net asset value per share in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for Investment Companies. Accordingly, in circumstances in which net asset value per share of an investment is determinative of fair value, the Company estimates the fair value of an investment in an investment company using the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) without further adjustment if the net asset value per share of the investment is determined in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies as of the reporting entity’s measurement date. Redemptions are not generally permitted in the Company’s investments in funds. The remaining term of the Company’s investments in funds is expected to be two to six years.

Averages were determined using a weighted average based upon the fair value of the investments in each investment category.

The primary significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt securities (first lien secured debt, second lien debt and subordinated debt), including income-producing investments in funds and income producing securities, payment rights and CLO residual interests is the weighted average cost of capital, or WACC. Significant increases (decreases) in the WACC in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. In determining the WACC, for the income, or yield approach, the Company considers current market yields and multiples, portfolio company performance, leverage levels, credit quality, among other factors, including U.S. federal tax rates, in its analysis. In the case of CLO residual interests, the Company considers prepayment, re-investment and loss assumptions based upon historical and projected performance as well as comparable yields for other similar structured products. In the case of the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”), the Company considers the risks associated with changes in tax rates, the performance of the portfolio company and the expected term of the investment. Changes in one or more of these factors can have a similar directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate WACC to use in the income approach.

The primary significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity investments, investments in warrants and debt investments where the Company has a controlling equity investment is the EBITDA multiple adjusted by management for differences between the investment and referenced comparables, or the multiple. Significant increases (decreases) in the multiple in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. To determine the multiple for the market approach, the Company considers current market trading and/or transaction multiples, portfolio company performance (financial ratios) relative to public and private peer companies and leverage levels, among other factors. Changes in one or more of these factors can have a similar directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate multiple to use in the market approach.

THL Credit Logan JV LLC

On December 3, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Perspecta Trident LLC, an affiliate of Perspecta Trust LLC, or Perspecta, to create THL Credit Logan JV LLC, or Logan JV, a joint venture, which invests primarily in senior secured first lien term loans. All Logan JV investment decisions must be unanimously approved by the Logan JV investment committee consisting of one representative from each of the Company and Perspecta.

The Company has determined that Logan JV is an investment company under ASC 946, however, in accordance with such guidance, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly owned investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate its non-controlling interest in Logan JV.

Logan JV is capitalized with capital contributions which are generally called from its members, on a pro-rata basis based on their capital commitments, as transactions are completed. Any decision by the Logan JV to call down on capital commitments requires the explicit authorization of the Company, coupled with that of Perspecta, and the Company may withhold such authorization for any reason in its sole discretion.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Logan JV had the following commitments, contributions and unfunded commitments from its Members.

The weighted average yield of Logan JV’s debt investments is not the same as a return on Logan JV investment for the Company’s stockholders but, rather, relates to a portion of the Company’s investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of the Company’s expenses. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, including accretion of original issue discount and loan origination fees. There can be no assurance that the weighted average yield will remain at its current level.

Investment in Tax Receivable Agreement Payment Rights

In June 2012, the Company invested in a TRA that entitles it to certain payment rights, or TRA Payment Rights, from Duff & Phelps Corporation, or Duff & Phelps. The TRA transfers the economic value of certain tax deductions, or tax benefits, taken by Duff & Phelps to the Company and entitles the Company to a stream of payments to be received. The TRA payment right is, in effect, a subordinated claim on the issuing company which can be valued based on the credit risk of the issuer, which includes projected future earnings, the liquidity of the underlying payment right, risk of tax law changes, the effective tax rate and any other factors which might impact the value of the payment right.

Through the TRA, the Company is entitled to receive an annual tax benefit payment based upon 85% of the savings from certain deductions along with interest. The payments that the Company is entitled to receive result from cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state or local income tax that Duff & Phelps realizes (i) from the tax savings derived from the goodwill and other intangibles created in connection with the Duff & Phelps initial public offering and (ii) from other income tax deductions. These tax benefit payments will continue until the relevant deductions are fully utilized, which is projected to be 16 years from the initial investment date. Pursuant to the TRA, the Company maintains the right to enforce Duff & Phelps payment obligations as a transferee of the TRA contract. If Duff & Phelps chooses to pre-pay and terminate the TRA, the Company will be entitled to the present value of the expected future TRA payments. If Duff & Phelps breaches any material obligation then all obligations are accelerated and calculated as if an early termination occurred. Failure to make a payment is a breach of a material obligation if the failure occurs for more than three months.

The projected annual tax benefit payment will be accrued on a quarterly basis and paid annually. The payment will be allocated between a reduction in the cost basis of the investment and interest income based upon an amortization schedule. Based upon the characteristics of the investment, the Company has chosen to categorize the investment in the TRA payment rights as investment in payment rights in the fair value hierarchy. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized interest income totaling $505 and $509 respectively, related to the TRA. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized interest income totaling $1,499 and $1,509, respectively, related to the TRA.

CLO Residual Interests

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had sold its last remaining investment in CLO residual interests or subordinated notes. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had investments in CLO residual interests, or subordinated notes, based upon fair market value, totaling $8,681. The subordinated notes are subordinated to the secured notes issued in connection with each CLO. The secured notes in each structure are collateralized by portfolios consisting primarily of broadly syndicated senior secured bank loans.

The subordinated notes do not have a stated rate of interest, but are entitled to receive distributions on quarterly payment dates subject to the priority of payments to secured note holders in the structures if and to the extent funds are available for such purpose. The payments on the subordinated notes and income notes are subordinated not only to the interest and principal claims of all secured notes issued, but to certain administrative expenses, taxes, and the base and subordinated fees paid to the collateral manager. Payments to the subordinated notes and income notes may vary significantly quarter to quarter for a variety of reasons and may be subject to 100% loss. Investments in subordinated notes and income notes, due to the structure of the CLO, can be significantly impacted by change in the market value of the assets, the distributions on the assets, defaults and recoveries on the assets, capital gains and losses on the assets along with prices, interest rates and other risks associated with the assets.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized interest income totaling $0 and $33, respectively, related to CLO residual interests. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized interest income totaling $485 and $1,676, respectively, related to CLO residual interests.

Revolving and Unfunded Delayed Draw Loans

For the Company’s investments in revolving and delayed draw loans, the cost basis of the investments purchased is adjusted for the cash received for the discount on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for price appreciation or depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of commitments not completely funded may result in a negative value until it is offset by the future amounts called and funded.

Investment Management Agreement

On March 7, 2017, the Company’s investment management agreement was re-approved by its board of directors, including a majority of the Company’s directors who are not interested persons of the Company. Under the investment management agreement, the Advisor, subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s board of directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to the Company.

Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income

On November 7, 2017, the Company announced that it had accepted the Advisor’s proposal to irrevocably waive the receipt of incentive fees related to net investment income, that it would otherwise be entitled to receive under the investment management agreement, for the period commencing on July 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2017. Such waived incentive fees will not be subject to recoupment.

In addition, the Company accepted the Advisor’s proposal to waive the receipt of up to 25% of the incentive fees accrued for the period commencing on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2018 to the extent necessary to support the Company paying a minimum quarterly distribution to the holders of its shares of common stock equal to $0.27 per share for each quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (such waiver, “Dividend Waiver”). Such waived incentive fees shall not be subject to recoupment.

Further, commencing January 1, 2018, the Company accepted the Advisor’s proposal to calculate the incentive fee on net investment income as indicated below (“Reduced Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income”) and waive such portion of the Reduced Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income that is in excess of the incentive fee on net investment income as set forth in the investment management agreement that the Advisor would otherwise be entitled to receive. In order to ensure that the Company will pay the Advisor less aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated beginning January 1, 2018, the Company will, at the end of each quarter, also calculate the incentive fee on net investment income owed by the Company to the Advisor based on the formula in place prior to January 1, 2018 effect to the waiver (“Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income Prior to Fee Waiver Agreement”). If, at any time beginning January 1, 2018, the aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated based on the formula in place after January 1, 2018, would be greater than the aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated based on the Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income Prior to Fee Waiver Agreement, the Advisor shall only be entitled to the lesser of those two amounts. See the section Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income Calculated Prior to the Fee Waiver Agreement for the details of the calculation under the investment management agreement.

On January 1, 2018, the Reduced Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income will be calculated by reference to the most recent trailing twelve quarter period or, if shorter, the number of quarters that have occurred since January 1, 2018 (“Trailing Twelve Quarter Period”), rather than on the standalone quarterly basis as set forth in the investment management agreement.  Specifically, the net investment income component will be calculated, and payable, quarterly in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter by reference to the Company’s aggregate preincentive fee net investment income, as adjusted as described below, from the calendar quarter then ending and the eleven preceding calendar quarters (or if shorter, the number of quarters that have occurred since January 1, 2018).  Preincentive fee net investment income is expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The hurdle amount for incentive fee based on preincentive fee net investment income will continue to be determined on a quarterly basis and equal to 2.0% (which is 8.0% annualized) but shall be multiplied by the net asset value attributable to the Company’s common stock at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters (also referred to as “minimum income level”). The hurdle amount will be calculated after making appropriate adjustments for subscriptions (which includes all issuances by us of shares of the Company’s common stock, including issuances pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan) and distributions that occurred during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters.

The calculation of preincentive fee net investment income shall continue to mean interest income, amortization of original issue discount, commitment and origination fees, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as, structuring, diligence, managerial assistance and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Company’s administration agreement (discussed below), and any interest expense and any dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee and any offering expenses and other expenses not charged to operations but excluding certain reversals to the extent such reversals have the effect of reducing previously accrued incentive fees based on the deferral of non-cash interest. Furthermore, preincentive fee net investment income will continue to include, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash.

48


 

The incentive fee based on preincentive net investment income for each quarter will be determined as follows:

 

The Investment Advisor receives no incentive fee for any calendar quarter in which the Company’s preincentive fee net investment income does not exceed the minimum income level.

 

 

Subject to the Incentive Fee Cap described below, the Advisor receives 100% of the Company’s preincentive fee net investment income for the Trailing Twelve Quarters with respect to that portion of the preincentive net investment income for such quarter, if any, that exceeds the minimum income level but is less than 2.5% (which is 10.0% annualized) (also referred to as the “catch-up” provision); and

 

 

20.0% of the Company’s preincentive fee net investment income, if any, greater than 2.5% (10.0% annualized) for the Trailing Twelve Quarters.

The amount of the incentive fee on preincentive net investment income that will be paid for a particular quarter will equal the excess of the incentive fee so calculated minus the aggregate incentive fees on preincentive net investment income that were paid in respect of the eleven calendar quarters (or if shorter, the appropriate number of quarters that have occurred since January 1, 2018) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters but not in excess of the Incentive Fee Cap (as described below).

The foregoing incentive fee will be subject to an Incentive Fee Cap (as defined below). The “Incentive Fee Cap” for any quarter is an amount equal to (a) 20% of the Cumulative Net Return (as defined below) during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters, minus (b) the aggregate incentive fees based on income that were paid in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters (or the portion thereof) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. “Cumulative Net Return” means (x) preincentive net investment income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (y) any Net Capital Loss, if any, in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, the Company will pay no incentive fee based on income to its Advisor for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is a positive value but is less than the incentive fee based on pre-incentive net investment income that is payable to its Advisor for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Company will pay an incentive fee based on preincentive net investment income to its Advisor equal to the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is equal to or greater than the incentive fee based on preincentive net investment income that is payable to its Advisor for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Company will pay an incentive fee based on income to its Advisor equal to the incentive fee calculated as described above for such quarter without regard to the Incentive Fee Cap. “Net Capital Loss” in respect of a particular period means the difference, if positive, between (i) aggregate capital losses, whether realized or unrealized, in such period and (ii) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized, in such period.

For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of the Reduced Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income is to reduce aggregate incentive fees payable to Advisor by the Company, effective as of January 1, 2018. In order to ensure that the Company will pay the Advisor less aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated beginning January 1, 2018, the Company will, at the end of each quarter, also calculate the incentive fee on net investment income owed by the Company to Advisor based on the formula in place prior to January 1, 2018. If, at any time beginning January 1, 2018, the aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated based on the formula in place after January 1, 2018 after giving effect to the Dividend Waiver, would be greater than the aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated based on the formula in place prior to January 1, 2018, the Advisor shall only be entitled to the lesser of those two amounts until such time as the requisite number of shareholders approve such amended incentive fee calculation.

Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income Prior to Fee Waiver Agreement

The incentive fee on net investment income prior to the Fee Waiver Agreement was calculated and payable, quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s preincentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a cumulative total return requirement and to deferral of non-cash amounts. The preincentive fee net investment income, which was expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets attributable to the Company’s common stock, for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, had a 2.0% (which is 8.0% annualized) hurdle rate (also referred to as “minimum income level”). The Advisor received no incentive fee for any calendar quarter in which the Company’s preincentive fee net investment income does not exceed the minimum income level. Subject to the cumulative total return requirement described below, the Advisor receives 100% of the Company’s preincentive fee net investment income for any calendar quarter with respect to that portion of the preincentive net investment income for such quarter, if any, that exceeded the minimum income level but is less than 2.5% (which is 10.0% annualized) of net assets (also referred to as the “catch-up” provision) and 20.0% of the Company’s preincentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter, if any, greater than 2.5% (10.0% annualized) of net assets. The foregoing incentive fee was subject to a total return requirement, which provided that no incentive fee in respect of the Company’s preincentive fee net investment income is payable except to the extent 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations over the then current and 11 preceding calendar quarters exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the 11 preceding quarters. In other words, any ordinary income incentive fee that was

49


 

payable in a calendar quarter was limited to the lesser of (i) 20% of the amount by which the Company’s preincentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter exceeds the 2.0% hurdle, subject to the “catch- up” provision, and (ii) (x) 20% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the then current and 11 preceding quarters minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the 11 preceding calendar quarters. For the foregoing purpose, the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” was the amount, if positive, of the sum of the Company’s preincentive fee net investment income, base management fees, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the then current and 11 preceding calendar quarters. In addition, the portion of such incentive fee that was attributable to deferred interest (sometimes referred to as payment-in-kind interest, or PIK, or original issue discount, or OID) will be paid to Advisor, together with interest thereon from the date of deferral to the date of payment, only if and to the extent the Advisor actually received such interest in cash, and any accrual thereof was be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write-off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred interest accrual. There was no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and accordingly there is no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the quarterly hurdle rate and there is no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the quarterly hurdle rate.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred $0 and $2,465, respectively, of incentive fees related to ordinary income, net of incentive fees waived of $811 and $811, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred $2,624 and $2,654, respectively, of incentive fees related to ordinary income. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0 and $2,249, respectively, of such incentive fees are currently payable to the Advisor. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $1,156 and $994, respectively of incentive fees incurred by the Company were generated from deferred interest (i.e. PIK, certain discount accretion and deferred interest) and are not payable until such amounts are received in cash.

 

Incentive Fee on Capital Gains

The second component of the incentive fee (capital gains incentive fee) is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the investment management agreement, as of the termination date). This component is equal to 20.0% of the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital gains from inception through the end of that calendar year, computed net of the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and cumulative aggregate unrealized capital depreciation through the end of such year. The calculation of the capital gains incentive fee has not been modified or waived. The aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees is subtracted from such capital gains incentive fee calculated. There was no capital gains incentive fee payable to the Company’s Advisor under the investment management agreement as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

GAAP Incentive Fee

GAAP requires that the incentive fee accrual considers the cumulative aggregate realized gains and losses and unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation of investments or other financial instruments, such as an interest rate derivative, in the calculation, as an incentive fee would be payable if such realized gains and losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation were realized, even though such realized gains and losses and unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the investment management agreement (“GAAP Incentive Fee”). There can be no assurance that such unrealized appreciation or depreciation will be realized in the future. Accordingly, such fee, as calculated and accrued, would not necessarily be payable under the investment management agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of incentive fees in subsequent periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred no incentive fees related to the GAAP incentive fee.

Base Management Fee

The base management fee calculation remains the same and is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of the Company’s gross assets payable quarterly in arrears on a calendar quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the base management fee, “gross assets” is determined as the value of the Company’s assets without deduction for any liabilities. The base management fee is calculated based on the value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred base management fees of $2,621 and $7,834, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred base management fees of $2,678 and $8,390, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $2,621 and $2,608, respectively, was payable to the Advisor.

Administration Agreement

The Company has also entered into an administration agreement with the Advisor under which the Advisor will provide administrative services to the Company. Under the administration agreement, the Advisor performs, or oversees the performance of administrative services necessary for the operation of the Company, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records which the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to the Company’s stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Advisor assists in determining and publishing the Company’s net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to the Company’s stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. The Company will reimburse the Advisor for its allocable portion of the costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor for overhead in performance by the Advisor of its duties under the administration agreement and the investment management agreement, including facilities, office equipment and the Company’s allocable portion of cost of compensation and related expenses of the Company’s chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs, as well as any costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor relating to any administrative or operating services provided by the Advisor to the Company. Such costs are reflected as administrator expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Under the administration agreement, the Advisor provides, on behalf of the Company, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which the Company is required to provide such assistance. To the extent that the Company’s Advisor outsources any of its functions, the Company pays the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without profit to the Advisor.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred administrator expenses of $670 and $2,207, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred administrator expenses of $888 and $2,708, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, $155 of administrator expenses was due from the Advisor, which was included in Due from affiliate on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of December 31, 2016, $67 of administrator expenses was payable to the Advisor, which was included in Accrued expenses and other payables on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

License Agreement

The Company and the Advisor have entered into a license agreement with THL Partners, L.P., or THL Partners, under which THL Partners has granted to the Company and the Advisor a non-exclusive, personal, revocable, worldwide, non-transferable license to use the trade name and service mark THL, which is a proprietary mark of THL Partners, for specified purposes in connection with the Company’s and the Advisor’s respective businesses. This license agreement is royalty-free, which means the Company is not charged a fee for its use of the trade name and service mark THL. The license agreement is terminable either in its entirety or with respect to the Company or the Advisor by THL Partners at any time in its sole discretion upon 60 days prior written notice, and is also terminable with respect to either the Company or the Advisor by THL Partners in the case of certain events of non-compliance. After the expiration of its first one year term, the entire license agreement is terminable by either the Company or the Advisor at the Company or its sole discretion upon 60 days prior written notice. Upon termination of the license agreement, the Company and the Advisor must cease to use the name and mark THL, including any use in the Company’s respective legal names, filings, listings and other uses that may require the Company to withdraw or replace the Company’s names and marks. Other than with respect to the limited rights contained in the license agreement, the Company and the Advisor have no right to use, or other rights in respect of, the THL name and mark. The Company is an entity operated independently from THL Partners, and third parties who deal with the Company have no recourse against THL Partners.

Managed Funds

The Advisor and its affiliates may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole or in part, with ours. For example, the Advisor may serve as investment adviser to one or more private funds, registered closed-end funds and collateralized loan obligations (CLO). In addition, the Company’s officers may serve in similar capacities for one or more private funds, registered closed-end funds and CLOs. The Advisor and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Advisor or its affiliates may determine that the Company should invest side- by-side with one or more other funds. The Advisor’s policies are designed to manage and mitigate the conflicts of interest associated with the allocation of investment opportunities if we are able to co-invest, either pursuant to SEC interpretive positions or an exemptive order, with other funds managed by the Advisor and its affiliates. As a result, the Advisor and/or its affiliates may face conflicts in allocating investment opportunities between us and such other entities. Although the Advisor and its affiliates will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner and consistent with applicable allocation procedures, it is possible that we may not be given the opportunity to participate in investments made by investment funds managed by the Advisor or its affiliates.

51


 

The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from making certain negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC permitting the BDC to do so. The SEC has granted the Company the relief it sought in an exemptive application that expands the Company’s ability to co-invest in portfolio companies with certain other funds managed by the Advisor or its affiliates (“Affiliated Funds”) in a manner consistent with the Company’s investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions (the “Order”). Pursuant to the Order, the Company is permitted to co-invest with Affiliated Funds if, among other things, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) or its independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and its stockholders and do not involve overreaching of the Company or its stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and is consistent with its investment objective and strategies.

The Company may borrow amounts in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had outstanding debt denominated in Canadian Dollars (CAD) of CAD $29,389 on its Revolving Credit Facility. The CAD was converted into USD at a spot exchange rate of $0.80 CAD to $1.00 USD as of September 30, 2017. The Company had no foreign borrowings as of December 31, 2016.

Credit Facility

On August 19, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment, or the Revolving Amendment, to its existing revolving credit agreement, or Revolving Facility, and entered into an amendment, or the Term Loan Amendment, to its Term Loan Facility. The Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility are collectively referred to as the Facilities.

The Revolving Amendment revised the Facility dated April 30, 2014 to, among other things, extend the maturity date from April 2018 to August 2020 (with a one year term out period beginning in August 2019). The one year term out period is the one year anniversary between the revolver termination date, or the end of the availability period, and the maturity date. During this time, the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments on its loans from the proceeds it receives from the sale of assets, extraordinary receipts, returns of capital or the issuances of equity or debt. The Revolving Facility, denominated in US dollars, has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% (with no LIBOR floor). The Revolving Facility, denominated in Canadian dollars, has

55


 

an interest rate of Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, or CDOR, plus 2.5% (with no floor). The non-use fee is 1.0% annually if the Company uses 35% or less of the Revolving Facility and 0.50% annually if the Company uses more than 35% of the Revolving Facility. The Company elects the LIBOR or CDOR rates on the loans outstanding on its Revolving Facility, which can have a LIBOR or CDOR period that is one, two, three or nine months. The LIBOR rate on the US dollar borrowings outstanding on its Revolving Facility had a one month LIBOR period as of September 30, 2017. The CDOR rate on the Canadian dollar borrowings outstanding on its Revolving Facility had a one month CDOR period as of September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had United States dollar borrowings of $88,861 outstanding under the Revolving Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 3.75% and non-United States dollar borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars of CAD $29,389 ($23,499 in United States dollars) outstanding under the Revolving Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 3.86%. The impact resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on the Revolving Facility borrowings is included in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency borrowings in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars may be positively or negatively affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Canadian dollar. This movement is beyond our control and cannot be predicted.

The Term Loan Amendment revised the Term Loan Facility dated April 30, 2014 to, among other things, extend the maturity date from April 2019 to August 2021. The Term Loan Amendment also changes the interest rate of the Term Loan Facility to LIBOR plus 2.75% (with no LIBOR Floor) and has substantially similar terms to the existing Revolving Facility (as amended by the Revolving Amendment). The Company elects the LIBOR rate on its Term Loan, which can have a LIBOR period that is one, two, three or nine months. The LIBOR rate on its Term Loan had a one month LIBOR period as of September 30, 2017.

Each of the Facilities includes an accordion feature permitting the Company to expand the Facilities if certain conditions are satisfied; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Facilities, collectively, is capped at $600,000.

The Facilities generally require payment of interest on a quarterly basis for ABR loans (commonly based on the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate), and at the end of the applicable interest period for Eurocurrency loans bearing interest at LIBOR, the interest rate benchmark used to determine the variable rates paid on the Facilities. All outstanding principal is due upon each maturity date. The Facilities also require a mandatory prepayment of interest and principal upon certain customary triggering events (including, without limitation, the disposition of assets or the issuance of certain securities).

Borrowings under the Facilities are subject to, among other things, a minimum borrowing/collateral base. The Facilities have certain collateral requirements and/or covenants, including, but not limited to covenants related to: (a) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, (b) limitations on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain restricted payments, (d) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that prohibit liens on certain properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and (e) compliance with certain financial maintenance standards including (i) minimum stockholders’ equity, (ii) a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities not represented by senior securities) to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness, of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, of not less than 2.00, (iii) minimum liquidity, (iv) minimum net worth, and (v) a consolidated interest coverage ratio. In addition to the financial maintenance standards, described in the preceding sentence, borrowings under the Facilities (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets in the Company’s portfolio.

The credit agreements governing the Facilities also include default provisions such as the failure to make timely payments under the Facilities, the occurrence of a change in control, and the failure by the Company to materially perform under the operative agreements governing the Facilities, which, if not complied with, could, at the option of the lenders under the Facilities, accelerate repayment under the Facilities, thereby materially and adversely affecting the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. Each loan originated under the Revolving Facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company cannot be assured that it will be able to borrow funds under the Revolving Facility at any particular time or at all. The Company is currently in compliance with all financial covenants under the Facilities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company borrowed $85,860 (includes CAD $29,389 converted to USD $22,110) and repaid $82,750 under the Facilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company borrowed $98,250 and repaid $153,250 under the Facilities.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of the Company’s outstanding Facilities approximated fair value. The fair values of the Company’s Facilities are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Company’s Facilities is estimated based upon market interest rates and entities with similar credit risk. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Facilities would be deemed to be Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

56


 

Interest expense and related fees, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, of $2,152 and $2,050, respectively, were incurred in connection with the Facilities for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Interest expense and related fees, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, of $6,257 and $6,198, respectively, were incurred in connection with the Facilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Amortization of deferred financing costs of $241 and $260, respectively, were incurred in connection with the Facilities for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Amortization of deferred financing costs of $715 and $775, respectively, were incurred in connection with the Facilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $2,007 of deferred financing costs related to the Revolving Facility, which is presented as an asset and $1,012 of deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan Facility presented as a reduction to loans payable on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $2,527 of deferred financing costs related to the Revolving Facility, which is presented as an asset and $1,207 of deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan Facility presented as a reduction to loans payable on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain exceptions, the Company is only allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. The asset coverage as of September 30, 2017 was in excess of 200%.

Notes

In December 2014, the Company completed a public offering of $50,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% notes due 2021, or the 2021 Notes. The 2021 Notes mature on November 15, 2021, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option on or after November 15, 2017. The 2021 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per year payable quarterly on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30, of each year, beginning December 30, 2014 and trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “TCRX”.

In December 2015 and November 2016, the Company completed a public offering of $35,000 and $25,000, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% notes due 2022, or the 2022 Notes. The 2022 Notes mature on December 30, 2022, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option on or after December 30, 2018. The 2022 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per year payable quarterly on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30, of each year, beginning March 30, 2016 and trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “TCRZ”.

The 2021 Notes and the 2022 Notes are collectively referred to as the Notes.

As of September 30, 2017, the carrying amount and fair value of our Notes was $110,000 and $113,420, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the carrying amount and fair value of our Notes was $110,000 and $111,596, respectively. The fair value of our Notes are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Notes is based on the closing price of the security, which is a Level 2 input under ASC 820 due to the trading volume.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company incurred $4,682 of fees and expenses. Any of these deferred financing costs are presented as a reduction to the Notes payable balance and are being amortized using the effective yield method over the term of the Notes. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company amortized approximately $168 and $129 of deferred financing costs, respectively, which is reflected in amortization of deferred financing costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company amortized approximately $499 and $382 of deferred financing costs, respectively, which is reflected in amortization of deferred financing costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $3,153 and $3,653 remaining deferred financing costs on the Notes, which reduced the notes payable balance on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred interest expense on the Notes of $1,856 and $5,569, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred interest expense on the Notes of $1,434 and $4,290, respectively.

The indenture and supplements thereto relating to the Notes contain certain covenants, including but not limited to (i) an inability to incur additional borrowings, including through the issuance of additional debt or the sale of additional debt securities unless the Company’s asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing and (ii) if we are not subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 to file periodic reports with the SEC we will provide interim and consolidated financial information to the holders of the Notes and the trustee.

8. Interest Rate Derivative

On May 10, 2012, the Company entered into a five-year interest rate swap agreement, or swap agreement, with ING Capital Markets, LLC that expired on May 10, 2017. Under the swap agreement, with a notional value of $50,000, the Company paid a fixed rate of 1.1425% and received a floating rate based upon the current three-month LIBOR rate. The Company entered into the swap agreement to manage interest rate risk and not for speculative purposes.

The Company recorded the change in valuation of the swap agreement in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of each measurement period. When the quarterly interest rate swap amounts were paid or received under the swap agreement, the amounts were recorded as a realized gain (loss) through interest rate derivative periodic interest payments, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company recognized a realized loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $0 and $46, respectively, which is reflected as interest rate derivative periodic interest payments, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognized a realized loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $66 and $232, respectively, which is reflected as interest rate derivative periodic interest payments, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $0 and $50, respectively, of net change in unrealized depreciation from the swap agreement, which is presented under net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on interest rate derivative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized $144 and $104, respectively, of net change in unrealized depreciation from the swap agreement, which is presented under net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on interest rate derivative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As December 31, 2016, the Company’s fair value of its swap agreement was $(50), which is listed as an interest rate derivative liability on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

9. Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

From time to time, the Company, or the Advisor, may become party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings related to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. Neither the Company, nor the Advisor, is currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Company’s unfunded commitments may be significant from time to time. These commitments will be subject to the same underwriting and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial instruments that the Company holds. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company intends to use cash flow from normal and early principal repayments and proceeds from borrowings and offerings to fund these commitments.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has the following unfunded commitments to portfolio companies:

10. Distributions

The Company has elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to maintain its status as a RIC, it is required to distribute annually to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid a 4% excise tax on undistributed earnings, the Company is required to distribute each calendar year the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income for such calendar year (ii) 98.2% of its net capital gains for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year (iii) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which the Company paid no federal income tax. The Company intends to make distributions to stockholders on a quarterly basis of substantially all of its net investment income. In addition, although the Company intends to make distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually, out of assets legally available for such distributions, it may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

In addition, the Company may be limited in its ability to make distributions due to the BDC asset coverage test for borrowings applicable to the Company as a BDC under the 1940 Act.

The Company may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow it to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. If the Company does not distribute a certain percentage of its income annually, it will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of its status as a regulated investment company. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions at a particular level.

The Company maintains an “opt in” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, unless stockholders specifically elect to have their dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, stockholders will receive all such dividends in cash. There were $0 and $3 of dividends reinvested for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. There were no dividends reinvested for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 under the dividend reinvestment plan.

Under the terms of our dividend reinvestment plan, dividends will primarily be paid in newly issued shares of common stock. However, the Company reserves the right to purchase shares in the open market in connection with the implementation of the plan. This feature of the plan means that, under certain circumstances, the Company may issue shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value per share, which could cause our stockholders to experience dilution.

60


 

Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated profits and earnings would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions will be made annually as of the end of our fiscal year based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of our distributions for a full year. If the Company had determined the tax attributes of its 2017 distributions as of September 30, 2017, 100% would be from ordinary income, 0% would be from capital gains and 0% would be a return of capital. Each year, a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the source of the distribution will be mailed to the Company’s stockholders.

The Company may generate qualified interest income and short-term capital gains that may be exempt from United States withholding tax on foreign accounts. A regulated investment company, or RIC, is permitted to designate distributions in the form of dividends that represent interest income (commonly referred to as qualified interest income) and short-term capital gains as exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid to non-U.S. stockholders with proper documentation. As of September 30, 2017, the percentage of 2017 income estimated as qualified interest income for tax purposes was 80.80%.

13. Subsequent Events

From October 1, 2017 through November 9, 2017, the Company closed three new first lien senior secured debt investments totaling $11,710 in the IT services, Consumer services and Business services industries, one new equity investment totaling $216 in the Consumer services industry and two follow-on first lien senior secured debt investments totaling $799. The new and follow-on floating rate investments have a combined weighted average yield based upon cost at the time of the investment of 8.8%.

On October 30, 2017, the Company sold its first lien senior secured term loans in Wheels Up Partners, LLC for $15,065.

On October 30, 2017, the Company received proceeds of $5,466 from the partial repayment of its first lien term loan in Alex Toys, LLC, which included an $81 prepayment premium.

On November 7, 2017, in consultation with its board of directors, the Company accepted the Advisor’s proposal to waive its incentive fee on net investment income for each of the three month periods ending September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017 and entered into a fee waiver agreement whereby incentive fees on net investment income would be calculated under a new formula that would result in a lower incentive fee if such result was lesser than such calculation in effect prior to January 1, 2018. Further, the Advisor will also waive the receipt of up to 25% of the incentive fees accrued for the period commencing on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2018 to the extent necessary to support the Company paying a minimum quarterly distribution to the holders of its shares of common stock equal to $0.27 per share for each quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Such incentive fees waived shall not be subject to recoupment. Refer to Note 4 – Related Party Transactions for more information.

On November 7, 2017, the Company’s board of directors declared a dividend of $0.27 per share payable on December 29, 2017 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 15, 2017.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report, and other statements that we may make, may contain forward-looking statements with respect to future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “trend,” “opportunity,” “pipeline,” “believe,” “comfortable,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “current,” “intention,” “estimate,” “position,” “assume,” “potential,” “outlook,” “continue,” “remain,” “maintain,” “sustain,” “seek,” “achieve” and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we assume no duty to and do not undertake to update forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.

In addition to factors previously identified elsewhere in this filing, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance:

 

the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives and strategies;

 

changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment or financial and capital markets, which could result in changes in the value of our assets;

 

the relative and absolute investment performance and operations of our investment adviser;

 

the impact of increased competition;

 

the impact of future acquisitions and divestitures;

 

the unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings;

 

our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

 

the impact, extent and timing of technological changes and the adequacy of intellectual property protection;

 

the impact of legislative and regulatory actions and reforms and regulatory, supervisory or enforcement actions of government agencies relating to us or THL Credit Advisors LLC, the Advisor;

 

the ability of the Advisor to identify suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;

 

our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

 

any future financings by us;

 

the ability of the Advisor to attract and retain highly talented professionals;

 

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and

 

the impact of changes to tax legislation and, generally, our tax position.

 

our ability to exit a control investment in a timely manner

 

the ability to fund Logan JV’s unfunded commitments to the extent approved by each member of the Logan JV investment committee.

Overview

THL Credit, Inc., or we, us, our or the Company, was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 26, 2009 and initially funded on July 23, 2009. We commenced principal operations on April 21, 2010. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation, primarily through investments in privately negotiated investments in debt and equity securities of lower middle market companies.

66


 

As of September 30, 2017, we, together with our credit-focused affiliates, collectively had $10.8 billion of assets under management. This amount included our assets, assets of the managed funds and a separate account managed by us, and assets of the collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), separate accounts and various fund formats, including any uncalled commitments of private funds, as managed by the investment professionals of the Advisor or its consolidated subsidiary.

We are a direct lender to lower middle market companies and invest primarily in directly originated first lien senior secured loans, including unitranche investments. In certain instances, we also make second lien, subordinated, or mezzanine, debt investments, which may include an associated equity component such as warrants, preferred stock or other similar securities and direct equity investments. Our first lien senior secured loans may be structured as traditional first lien senior secured loans or as unitranche loans. Unitranche structures combine characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured as well as second lien and subordinated loans and our unitranche loans will expose us to the risks associated with second lien and subordinated loans to the extent we invest in the “last-out” tranche or subordinated tranche (or piece) of the unitranche loan. We may also provide advisory services to managed funds.

We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended, or the 1940 Act. As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.

As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Under the relevant U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules the term “eligible portfolio company” includes all private companies, companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, and certain public companies that have listed their securities on a national securities exchange and have a market capitalization of less than $250 million, in each case organized in the United States.

We are also registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

Since April 2010, after we completed our initial public offering and commenced principal operations, through September 30, 2017, we have been responsible for making, on behalf of ourselves, managed funds and separately managed account, over $1,930 million in aggregate commitments into 97 separate portfolio companies through a combination of both initial and follow-on investments. Since April 2010 through September 30, 2017, we, along with our managed funds and separately managed account, have received $1,258 million of gross proceeds from the realization of investments. The Company alone has received $1,036 million of gross proceeds from the realization of its investments during this same time period.

We have elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements. Pursuant to these elections, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level income taxes on any income we distribute to our stockholders.

Portfolio Composition and Investment Activity

Portfolio Composition

As of September 30, 2017, we had $653.4 million of portfolio investments (at fair value), which represents a $15.8 million, or 2.4% decrease from the $669.2 million (at fair value) as of December 31, 2016. Our portfolio consisted of 45 investments, including THL Credit Greenway Fund LLC, or Greenway, and THL Credit Greenway Fund II LLC, or Greenway II, as of September 30, 2017, compared to 47 portfolio investments, including Greenway and Greenway II, as of December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2017, we had $180.0 million of controlled portfolio investments (at fair value) in 7 portfolio companies, which represents a $12.8 million, or 7.7% increase from $167.2 million (at fair value) as of December 31, 2016. The increase in controlled portfolio companies was the result of follow-on investments and changes in performance of certain investments. Our average controlling equity position at September 30, 2017 was approximately $23.9 and $25.7 at cost and fair value, respectively.

At September 30, 2017, our average portfolio company investment, excluding Greenway, Greenway II, Logan JV, and portfolio investments where we only have an equity or fund investment and restructured investments where we converted debt to a controlling equity interest, at amortized cost and fair value, was approximately $14.9 million and $14.7 million, respectively. Including investments in funds, investments where we hold equity only positions or investments where we converted debt to a controlling equity position would not be representative of our typical portfolio investment size and were therefore excluded from the calculation. Our largest portfolio company investment, excluding the Logan JV and investments where we hold equity only positions or investments

67


 

where we converted debt to a controlling equity position, by cost was approximately $31.8 million and by fair value was $30.5 million. Including such investments, our largest portfolio company investment at September 30, 2017 was our investment in the Logan JV, which totaled $67.0 and $66.2 at cost and fair value, respectively. At December 31, 2016, our average portfolio company investment at both amortized cost and fair value was approximately $16.0 million and $15.4 million, respectively, and our largest portfolio company investment by both amortized cost and fair value was approximately $31.6 million and $30.5 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2017, based upon fair value, 92.0% of our debt investments bore interest based on floating rates, which may be subject to interest rate floors, such as the London Interbank offer rate, or LIBOR, and Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, or CDOR, and 8.0% bore interest at fixed rates. At December 31, 2016, 89.1% of our debt investments bore interest based on floating rates, which may be subject to interest rate floors, such as LIBOR, and 10.9% bore interest at fixed rates.

The following table shows the weighted average yield by investment category at their current cost.

Yields from investments in payment rights and CLO residual interests represent an effective yield expected from anticipated cash flows. Our two remaining investments in CLO residual interests as of December 31, 2016 were sold in January 2017.

(4)

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the dividends declared and earned of $2.5 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, represented a yield to us of 14.8% and 14.1%, respectively, based on average capital invested. We expect the dividend yield to fluctuate as a result of the timing of additional capital invested, the changes in asset yields in the underlying portfolio and the overall performance of the Logan JV investment portfolio.

The weighted average yield of our debt investments is not the same as a return on investment for our stockholders but, rather, relates to a portion of our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of our fees and expenses. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates as of September 30, 2017, including accretion of original issue discount and loan origination fees. This weighted average yield reflects the impact of loans on non-accrual status. There can be no assurance that the weighted average yield will remain at its current level.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, portfolio investments, in which we have debt investments, had a median earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of approximately $10 million and $12 million, respectively, based on the latest available financial information provided by the portfolio companies for each of these periods. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our median attachment point in the capital structure of our debt investments in portfolio companies is approximately 4.2 times and 4.3 times the portfolio company’s EBITDA, respectively, based on our latest available financial information for each of these periods.

We expect the percent of our portfolio investments in unsponsored investments to decrease significantly over time as we work through restructurings, which may include providing additional liquidity through revolving loans, and ultimately exit our unsponsored investments. Going forward we expect unsponsored investments we make, if any, would only be in first lien senior secured investments. As of September 30, 2017, our portfolio of unsponsored investments included seven investments. Five are performing at or above our expectations and have an Investment Score of 1 or 2. Two other unsponsored investments have Investment Scores of 3 and 5.

As of September 30, 2017, we have closed portfolio investments with 62 different sponsors since inception. As of December 31, 2016, we had closed portfolio investments with 56 different sponsors since inception.

We expect the percent of our core assets, which we define as first lien senior secured loans and the Logan JV, to continue to increase as a percent of total investments as we are repaid or liquidate our second lien debt, subordinated debt and other equity holdings over time and redeploy these proceeds. We intend to continue our efforts to reposition the portfolio towards more senior secured floating rate investments, which we believe will reduce our exposure to portfolio company risks and potential changes in interest rates.

Our level of investment activity can vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to lower middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. The frequency and volume of any prepayments may fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Aggregate Cash Flow Realized Gross Internal Rate of Return

Since April 2010, after we completed our initial public offering and commenced principal operations, through September 30, 2017, our fully exited investments have resulted in an aggregate cash flow realized gross internal rate of return to us of 14.0% (based on cash invested of $913.8 million and total proceeds from these exited investments of $1,135.9 million). 85.1% of these exited investments resulted in an aggregate cash flow realized gross internal rate of return to us of 10% or greater. Internal rate of return, or IRR, is a measure of our discounted cash flows (inflows and outflows). Specifically, IRR is the discount rate at which the net present value of all cash flows is equal to zero. That is, IRR is the discount rate at which the present value of total cash invested in our investments is equal to the present value of all realized returns from the investments. Our IRR calculations are unaudited.

Cash invested, with respect to an investment, represents our aggregate cash investment in the debt or equity securities we acquire.

Realized returns, with respect to an investment, represents the total cash received with respect to each investment, including all amortization payments, interest, dividends, prepayment fees, upfront fees, original issue discount, amendment fees and other fees and proceeds.

72


 

Gross IRR, with respect to an investment, is calculated based on the dates that we invested capital and dates we received distributions, regardless of when we made distributions to our stockholders. Initial investments are assumed to occur at time zero, and all cash flows are deemed to occur on the date in which they did occur.

Gross IRR reflects historical results relating to our past performance and is not necessarily indicative of our future results. In addition, gross IRR does not reflect the effect of management fees, expenses, incentive fees or taxes borne, or to be borne, by us or our stockholders, and would be lower if it did.

Aggregate cash flow realized gross IRR on our exited investments reflects only invested and realized cash amounts as described above, and does not reflect any unrealized gains or losses in our portfolio or non-cash restructuring transactions. Cash flows exclude sales of participations if they were anticipated at the time of the initial investment.

Investment Risk

The value of our investments will generally fluctuate with, among other things, changes in prevailing interest rates, federal tax rates, counterparty risk, general economic conditions, the condition of certain financial markets, developments or trends in any particular industry and the financial condition of the issuer. During periods of limited liquidity and higher price volatility, our ability to dispose of investments at a price and time that we deem advantageous may be impaired.

Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt securities can be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price. The default rate for lower-quality debt securities is likely to be higher during economic recessions or periods of high interest rates.

THL Credit Logan JV LLC

On December 3, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Perspecta Trident LLC, an affiliate of Perspecta Trust LLC, or Perspecta, to create THL Credit Logan JV LLC, or Logan JV, a joint venture, which invests primarily in senior secured first lien term loans. All Logan JV investment decisions must be unanimously approved by the Logan JV investment committee consisting of one representative from each of us and Perspecta.

We have determined that Logan JV is an investment company under ASC 946, however, in accordance with such guidance, we will generally not consolidate our investment in a company other than a substantially owned investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to us. Accordingly, we do not consolidate our non-controlling interest in Logan JV.

Logan JV is capitalized with equity contributions which are generally called from its members, on a pro-rata basis based on their equity commitments, as transactions are completed. Any decision by the Logan JV to call down on capital commitments requires the explicit authorization of us, coupled with that of Perspecta, and we may withhold such authorization for any reason in our sole discretion.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Logan JV had the following commitments, contributions and unfunded commitments from its members.

On December 17, 2014, Logan JV entered into a senior credit facility, or the Logan JV Credit Facility, with Deutsche Bank AG which allows Logan JV to borrow up to $50.0 million subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions. Throughout the course of 2016 and 2017, in accordance with the terms of the Logan JV Credit Facility, Deutsche Bank AG and other banks increased the commitment amount to $175.0 million. The amended revolving loan period ends on February 15, 2018 and the final maturity date is February 15, 2021. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Logan JV had $149.2 million and $129.3 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, respectively. The Logan JV Credit Facility bears interest at three month LIBOR (with no LIBOR floor) plus 2.50%. At September 30, 2017, the effective interest rate on the Logan JV Credit Facility was 3.86% per annum.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Logan JV had total investments at fair value of $233.2 million and $200.2 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Logan JV’s portfolio was comprised of senior secured first lien and second lien loans to 124 and 91 different borrowers, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were no loans on non-accrual status. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Logan JV had unfunded commitments to fund revolver and delayed draw loans to its portfolio companies totaling $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The portfolio companies in Logan JV are in industries similar to those in which we may invest directly.

Below is a summary of Logan JV’s portfolio, followed by a listing of the individual loans in Logan JV’s portfolio as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (dollar amounts in thousands):

At current principal amount.

The weighted average yield of Logan JV’s debt investments is not the same as a return on Logan JV investment for our stockholders but, rather, relates to a portion of our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of our expenses. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, including accretion of original issue discount and loan origination fees, but excluding the effective rates on investments on non-accrual status, if any. There can be no assurance that the weighted average yield will remain at its current level.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, our share of income from distributions declared related to our Logan JV LLC equity interest was $2.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively, which amounts are included in dividend income from controlled investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, our share of income from distributions declared related to our Logan JV LLC equity interest was $2.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, which amounts are included in dividend income from controlled investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $2.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of income related to the Logan JV was included in Interest, dividends and fees receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of September 30, 2017, the dividends declared and earned of $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, represented a dividend yield to the Company of 14.8% based upon average capital invested. As of December 31, 2016, dividends declared and earned of $2.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, represented a dividend yield to the Company of 14.1% based upon average capital invested. We expect the dividend yield to fluctuate as a result of the timing of additional capital invested, the changes in asset yields in the underlying portfolio and the overall performance of the Logan JV investment portfolio.

CLO Residual Interests

As of September 30, 2017, we had sold our last remaining investment in CLO residual interests or subordinated notes. As of December 31, 2016, we had investments in CLO residual interests, or subordinated notes, based upon fair market value, totaling $8.7 million. The subordinated notes are subordinated to the secured notes issued in connection with each CLO. The secured notes in each structure are collateralized by portfolios consisting primarily of broadly syndicated senior secured bank loans.

The subordinated notes do not have a stated rate of interest, but are entitled to receive distributions on quarterly payment dates subject to the priority of payments to secured note holders in the structures if and to the extent funds are available for such purpose. The payments on the subordinated notes and income notes are subordinated not only to the interest and principal claims of all secured notes issued, but to certain administrative expenses, taxes, and the base and subordinated fees paid to the collateral manager. Payments to the subordinated notes and income notes may vary significantly quarter to quarter for a variety of reasons and may be subject to 100% loss. Investments in subordinated notes and income notes, due to the structure of the CLO, can be significantly impacted by change in the market value of the assets, the distributions on the assets, defaults and recoveries on the assets, capital gains and losses on the assets along with prices, interest rates and other risks associated with the assets.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized interest income totaling $0.0 and $0.5 million, respectively, related to CLO residual interests. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized interest income totaling $0.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, related to CLO residual interests.

Investment in Tax Receivable Agreement Payment Rights

In June 2012, we invested in a TRA that entitles us to certain payment rights, or TRA Payment Rights, from Duff & Phelps Corporation, or Duff & Phelps. The TRA transfers the economic value of certain tax deductions, or tax benefits, taken by Duff & Phelps to us and entitles us to a stream of payments to be received. The TRA payment right is, in effect, a subordinated claim on the issuing company which can be valued based on the credit risk of the issuer, which includes projected future earnings, the liquidity of the underlying payment right, risk of tax law changes, the effective tax rate and any other factors which might impact the value of the payment right.

Through the TRA, we are entitled to receive an annual tax benefit payment based upon 85% of the savings from certain deductions along with interest. The payments that we are entitled to receive result from cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state or local income tax that Duff & Phelps realizes (i) from the tax savings derived from the goodwill and other intangibles created in connection with the Duff & Phelps initial public offering and (ii) from other income tax deductions. These tax benefit payments will continue until the relevant deductions are fully utilized, which was projected to be 16 years from the initial investment date. Pursuant to the TRA, we maintain the right to enforce Duff & Phelps payment obligations as a transferee of the TRA contract. If Duff & Phelps chooses to pre-pay and terminate the TRA, we will be entitled to the present value of the expected future TRA payments. If Duff & Phelps breaches any material obligation then all obligations are accelerated and calculated as if an early termination occurred. Failure to make a payment is a breach of a material obligation if the failure occurs for more than three months.

The projected annual tax benefit payment is accrued on a quarterly basis and paid annually. The payment is allocated between a reduction in the cost basis of the investment and interest income based upon an amortization schedule. Based upon the characteristics of the investment, we have chosen to categorize the investment in the TRA payment rights as an investment in payment rights.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized interest income totaling $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to the TRA. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized interest income totaling $1.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to the TRA.

Asset Quality

We employ the use of board observation and information rights, regular dialogue with company management and sponsors, and detailed internally generated monitoring reports to actively monitor performance. Additionally, THL Credit has developed a monitoring template that promotes compliance with these standards and that is used as a tool to assess investment performance relative to plan.

As part of the monitoring process, the Advisor assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and assigns each portfolio investment a score of a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5

84


 

The investment performance scores, or IPS, are as follows:

1 – The portfolio investment is performing above our underwriting expectations.

2 – The portfolio investment is performing as expected at the time of underwriting. All new investments are initially scored a 2.

3 – The portfolio investment is operating below our underwriting expectations and requires closer monitoring. The company may be out of compliance with financial covenants, however, principal or interest payments are generally not past due.

4 – The portfolio investment is performing materially below our underwriting expectations and returns on our investment are likely to be impaired. Principal or interest payments may be past due, however, full recovery of principal and interest payments are expected.

5 – The portfolio investment is performing substantially below expectations and the risk of the investment has increased substantially. The company is in payment default and the principal and interest payments are not expected to be repaid in full.

For purposes of clarity, underwriting as referenced herein may be redetermined after the initial investment as a result of a transformative credit event or other material event whereby such initial underwriting is deemed by the Advisor to be no longer appropriate for the purpose of assessing investment performance relative to plan. For any investment receiving a score of a 3 or lower THL Credit Advisors will increase their level of focus and prepare regular updates for the investment committee summarizing current operating results, material impending events and recommended actions.

The Advisor monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment scores assigned to each investment in our portfolio. In connection with our investment valuation process, the Advisor and board of directors review these investment scores on a quarterly basis. Our average investment score was 2.18 and 2.36 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The following is a distribution of the investment scores of our portfolio companies at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in millions):

However, we may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of September 30, 2017, we had loans on non-accrual status with an amortized cost basis of $32.4 million and fair value of $19.7 million. As of December 31, 2016, we had loans on non-accrual status with an amortized cost basis of $13.8 million and fair value of $6.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, three additional loans were put on non-accrual status with two existing loan coming off non-accrual status as part of a realization of the investment. For additional information, please refer to the Consolidated Schedules of Investments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. We record the reversal of any previously accrued income against the same income category reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The decrease in Score “3” from December 31, 2016 is due largely to the sale of underperforming investments and improved performance of certain investments including certain energy-related investments and a consumer products investment that completed a refinancing during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 where we now hold a first lien loan instead of a previously held second lien loan. Additionally, contributing to the decrease was one investment previously with a Score “3” that was put on non-accrual status in the second quarter and therefore moved to Investment Score of “4”.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Investment Income

We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest on the debt and other income-producing securities we hold. Other income-producing securities include investments in funds and an investment in payment rights. Our investments in fixed income instruments generally have an expected maturity of five to seven years, and typically bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. Interest on our debt securities is generally payable quarterly. Payments of principal of our debt investments may be amortized over the stated term of the investment, deferred for several years or due entirely at maturity. In some cases, our debt instruments and preferred stock investments may defer payments of dividends or pay interest in-kind, or PIK. Any outstanding principal amount of our debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. The level of interest income we receive is directly related to the balance of interest-bearing investments multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments. In addition to interest income, we may receive dividends and other distributions related to our equity investments. We may also generate revenue in the form of fees from the management of Greenway and Greenway II, prepayment premiums, commitment, loan origination, structuring or due diligence fees, exit fees, amendment fees, portfolio company administration fees, fees for providing significant managerial assistance and consulting fees. These fees may or may not be recurring in nature as part of our normal business operations. We will disclose below what amounts, if any, are material non-recurring fees that have been recorded as income during each respective period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $0.1 million and $0, respectively, of non-recurring fees from portfolio companies. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $0.6 million and $0, respectively, of non-recurring fees from portfolio companies.

The decrease in investment income between the three and nine month periods was primarily due to the contraction in overall investment portfolio since September 30, 2016, which led to lower interest income. This decrease was offset primarily by an increase in dividend income related to the Logan JV.

In certain investment transactions, we may provide advisory services. For services that are separately identifiable and external evidence exists to substantiate fair value, income is recognized as earned. We earned no income from advisory services related to portfolio companies for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of base management fees, an incentive fee, borrowing expenses related to our credit facilities and Notes, and expenses reimbursable under the investment management agreement and the allocable portion of overhead under the administration and investment management agreements (“administrator expenses”). The base management fee compensates the Advisor for work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. Our investment management agreement and administration agreement provides that we will reimburse the Advisor for costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor for facilities, office equipment and utilities allocable to the performance by the Advisor of its duties under the agreements, as well as any costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor relating to any administrative or operating services provided by the Advisor to us. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the ordinary income incentive fee expense was $0, after giving effect to a fee waiver of $0.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the ordinary income incentive fee expense was $2.5 million, which included a fee waiver of $0.8 million.

(c)

Amounts include the income taxes related to earnings by our consolidated corporate subsidiaries established to hold equity or equity-like portfolio company investments organized as pass-through entities and excise taxes related to our undistributed earnings and other taxes.

The decrease in operating expenses between the three month periods was due primarily to lower net incentive fees due to portfolio performance and the Advisor waiving all of the incentive fee accrued for the current quarter, lower base management fees as a result of portfolio contraction, and lower administrator expenses. This decrease was partially offset by higher costs related to borrowings and one-time legal expenses of $0.4 million associated with the exit of a portfolio investment in other expenses.

The increase in operating expenses between the nine month periods was due primarily to higher costs related to borrowings and higher net incentive fees accrued. This was offset by lower base management fees as a result of portfolio contraction, and lower administrator expenses.

We expect certain of our operating expenses, including administrator expenses, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets during periods of growth and increase as a percentage of our total assets during periods of asset declines.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income was $11.2 million, or $0.34 per common share based on a weighted average of 32,721,686 common shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $10.5 million, or $0.32 per common share based on a weighted average of 33,169,376 common shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Net investment income was $31.0 million, or $0.94 per common share based on a weighted average of 32,838,903 common shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $35.6 million, or $1.07 per common share based on a weighted average of 33,234,994 common shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The increase in net investment income between the three month periods is primarily attributable to a decrease in incentive fee expense and higher dividend income related to the Logan JV. This was offset by lower interest income on debt and other income-producing investments.

The decrease in net investment income between the nine month periods is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest income on debt and other income-producing investments. This was offset by higher dividend income related to the Logan JV.

Net Realized Gains and Losses on Investments, net of income tax provision

We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, using the specific identification method, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized.

(1)       On September 11, 2017, the Company sold its senior secured term loan realizing proceeds of $3.2 million. In connection with the sale, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized a loss of $11.9 million and reversed $8.1 million of unrealized depreciation.

 (2)       On March 14, 2016, as part of a further restructuring of the business, the cost basis of the Company’s equity interest totaling $6.6 million and subordinated term loan totaling $4.5 million was converted to an equity interest in an affiliated entity valued at $0.1 million. In connection with the restructuring, the Company recognized a realized loss in the amount of $10.9 million, which was offset by a $10.8 million change in unrealized appreciation.

(3)       On March 17, 2016, as part of a restructuring of the business, the cost basis of the Company’s first lien loans totaling $33.2 million was converted to a new first lien senior secured term loan of $18.7 million and a controlled equity interest in an

affiliated entity valued at $8.3 million. In connection with the restructuring, the Company recognized a realized loss of $6.2 million, which was offset by a $5.6 million change in unrealized appreciation.

(4)       On July 1, 2016, as part of the restructuring, the Company exchanged the cost basis of its senior secured loans totaling $14.7 million for a new senior secured term loan of $7.0 million, a debt-like preferred equity position, valued at $1.1 million, and 10% warrants. As result of the restructuring, the Company recognized a $6.6 million loss on conversion to preferred equity, which was offset by a $5.1 million change in unrealized appreciation. Additionally, the Company made a $1.5 million investment in a first lien senior secured term loan.

(5)       On July 22, 2016, as part of the restructuring, the Company exchanged the cost basis of its subordinated debt totaling $20.6 million for a controlled equity position of an affiliate of Tri-Starr Management Services, Inc. valued at $3.1 million. As result of the restructuring, the Company recognized a $17.4 million loss on conversion of its subordinated debt investment to common equity, which was offset by a $17.4 million change in unrealized appreciation. Additionally, the Company made a $8.8 million investment in first lien senior secured term loans.

(6)       On June 8, 2017, as part of restructuring the business, the Company agreed to sell its second lien term loan to the first lien lenders for $0.5 million. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a loss of $10.4 million and reversed $10.1 million of unrealized depreciation.

In connection with the proceeds received from the exit of our equity investment in YP Equity Investors, LLC and affiliated funds held in a consolidated blocker corporation, we recorded an income tax provision on realized gains of $0.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments

Net change in unrealized appreciation primarily reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was the result of the reversal of prior period net unrealized depreciation related to certain restructured investments and the performance of certain portfolio investments.

Provision for Taxes on Unrealized Gains on Investments

Certain consolidated subsidiaries of ours are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. These taxable entities are not consolidated with the Company for income tax purposes and may generate income tax liabilities or assets from temporary differences in the recognition of items for financial reporting and income tax purposes at the subsidiaries. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized a benefit (provision) for tax on unrealized gains on investments of $0.4 million and ($0.4) million for consolidated subsidiaries, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized a benefit (provision) for tax on unrealized gains on investments of $2.3 million and ($0.6) million for consolidated subsidiaries, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $4.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively, were included in deferred tax liability on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities relating to deferred tax on unrealized gain on investments. The change in provision for tax on unrealized gains on investments relates primarily to changes to the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the investments held in these taxable consolidated subsidiaries, including the exit of our equity investments in YP Equity Investors, LLC in June 2017, other temporary differences and a change in the prior year estimates received from certain portfolio companies.

Realized and Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Interest Rate Derivative

The interest rate derivative was entered into on May 10, 2012 and expired on May 10, 2017. Unrealized depreciation reflects the value of the interest rate derivative agreement at the end of the reporting period. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the net change of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on interest rate derivative totaled $0.00 million and $0.1 million, respectively, which is listed under net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on interest rate derivatives in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the net change of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on interest rate derivative totaled $0.05 million and $0.1 million, respectively, which is listed under net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on interest rate derivatives in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The changes were due to capital market changes impacting swap rates.

We measure realized gains or losses on the interest rate derivative based upon the difference between the proceeds received or the amount paid on the interest rate derivative. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we realized a loss of $0.0 and $0.1 million, respectively, as interest rate derivative periodic interest payments, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we realized a loss of $0.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively, as interest rate derivative periodic interest payments, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. These changes were due to capital market changes impacting swap rates.

Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $4.1 million, or $0.13 per common share based on a weighted average of 32,721,686 common shares for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $9.9 million, or $0.30 per common share based on a weighted average of 33,169,376 common shares for the three months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $10.6 million, or $0.33 per common share based on a weighted average of 32,838,903 common shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $9.2 million, or $0.28 per common share based on a weighted average of 33,234,994 common shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The changes in net assets from operations between the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is due primarily to the fluctuation of the realized and unrealized gains and losses in the portfolio.

Financial condition, liquidity and capital resources

Cash Flows from Operating and Financing Activities

Our liquidity and capital resources are derived from our borrowings, equity raises and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and investment income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies, payment of distributions to the holders of our common stock and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our borrowings and the proceeds from the turnover in our portfolio and from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.

We may raise additional equity or debt capital through both registered offerings off our shelf registration statement and private offerings of securities, by securitizing a portion of our investments or borrowings from credit facilities. To the extent we determine to raise additional equity through an offering of our common stock at a price below net asset value, existing investors will experience dilution. During our 2017 Annual Stockholder Meeting held on June 6, 2017, our stockholders authorized us, with the approval of our Board of Directors, to sell up to 25% of our outstanding common stock at a price below our then current net asset value per share and to offer and issue debt with warrants or debt convertible into shares of our common stock at an exercise or conversion price that will not be less than the fair market value per share but may be below the then current net asset value per share. There can be no assurance that these capital resources will be available.

In December 2014, we closed a public debt offering selling $50.0 million of Notes due in 2021, or the 2021 Notes, including the exercise of the overallotment option, through a group of underwriters, less an underwriting discount, and received net proceeds of $48.5 million. In December 2015 and November 2016, we closed a public debt offering selling $35.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively, of Notes due in 2022, or the 2022 Notes, including the exercise of the overallotment option, through a group of underwriters, less an underwriting discount, and received net proceeds of $34.0 million and $24.3 million, respectively. Collectively, the 2021 Notes and 2022 Notes are referred to as the Notes.

We borrowed $85.9 million (includes CAD $29.4 million converted to USD $22.1 million) under our Revolving Facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and repaid $82.8 million our Revolving Facility from proceeds received from prepayments and sales and investment income. We borrowed $98.3 million under our Revolving Facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and repaid $153.3 million on our Revolving Facility from prepayments and sales and investment income.

Our operating activities provided cash of $23.3 million and $90.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, primarily in connection with the purchase and sales of portfolio investments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our financing activities included net borrowings of $3.1 million on our Revolving Facility and used $26.6 million for distributions to stockholders, $2.5 million to repurchase common stock and $0.1 million for the payment of financing and offering costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our financing activities used $55.0 million to repay borrowings on our facility, $33.9 million for distributions to stockholders, $1.5 million to repurchase common stock and $0.1 million for the payment of financing and offering costs.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had cash of $3.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively. We had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

We believe cash balances, our Revolving Facility capacity and any proceeds generated from the sale or pay down of investments provides us with the liquidity necessary to acquit our pipeline in the near future.

Represents the weighted average borrowings outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2016.

(5)

We may borrow amounts in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies. As of September 30, 2017, we had outstanding debt denominated in Canadian Dollars (CAD) of CAD $29.4 million on its Revolving Credit Facility. The CAD was converted into USD at a spot exchange rate of $0.80 CAD to $1.00 USD as of September 30, 2017. We had no foreign borrowings as of December 31, 2016.

Credit Facility

On August 19, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment, or the Revolving Amendment, to its existing revolving credit agreement, or Revolving Facility, and entered into an amendment, or the Term Loan Amendment, to its Term Loan Facility. The Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility are collectively referred to as the Facilities.

The Revolving Amendment revised the Revolving Facility dated April 30, 2014 to, among other things, extend the maturity date from April 2018 to August 2020 (with a one year term out period beginning in August 2019). The one year term out period is the one year anniversary between the revolver termination date, or the end of the availability period, and the maturity date. During this time, the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments on its loans from the proceeds it receives from the sale of assets, extraordinary receipts, returns of capital or the issuances of equity or debt. The Revolving Facility, denominated in US dollars, has an

91


 

interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% (with no LIBOR floor). The Revolving Facility, denominated in Canadian dollars, has an interest rate of CDOR plus 2.5% (with no CDOR floor). The non-use fee is 1.0% annually if the Company uses 35% or less of the Revolving Facility and 0.50% annually if the Company uses more than 35% of the Revolving Facility. The Company elects the LIBOR or CDOR rates on the loans outstanding on its Revolving Facility, which can have a LIBOR or CDOR period that is one, two, three or nine months. The LIBOR rate on the US dollar borrowings outstanding on its Revolving Facility had a one month LIBOR period as of September 30, 2017. The CDOR rate on the Canadian borrowings outstanding on its Revolving Facility had a one month CDOR period as of September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, we had United States dollar borrowings of $88.9 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 3.75% and non-United States dollar borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars of CAD $29.4 million ($23.5 million in United States dollars) outstanding under the Revolving Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 3.86%. The borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars are translated into United States dollars based on the spot rate at each balance sheet date. The impact resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on the Revolving Facility borrowings is included in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency borrowings in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars may be positively or negatively affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Canadian dollar. This movement is beyond our control and cannot be predicted.

The Term Loan Amendment revised the Term Loan Facility dated April 30, 2014 to, among other things, extend the maturity date from April 2019 to August 2021. The Term Loan Amendment also changes the interest rate of the Term Loan Facility to LIBOR plus 2.75% (with no LIBOR Floor) and has substantially similar terms to the existing Revolving Facility (as amended by the Revolving Amendment). The Company elects the LIBOR rate on its Term Loan, which can have a LIBOR period that is one, two, three or nine months. The LIBOR rate on its Term Loan currently has a one month LIBOR period.

Each of the Facilities includes an accordion feature permitting us to expand the Facilities, if certain conditions are satisfied; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Facilities, collectively, is capped at $600.0 million.

The Facilities generally require payment of interest on a quarterly basis for ABR loans (commonly based on the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate), and at the end of the applicable interest period for Eurocurrency loans bearing interest at LIBOR, the interest rate benchmark used to determine the variable rates paid on the Facilities. All outstanding principal is due upon each maturity date. The Facilities also require a mandatory prepayment of interest and principal upon certain customary triggering events (including, without limitation, the disposition of assets or the issuance of certain securities).

Borrowings under the Facilities are subject to, among other things, a minimum borrowing/collateral base. The Facilities have certain collateral requirements and/or covenants, including, but limited to, covenants related to: (a) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, (b) limitations on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain restricted payments, (d) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that prohibit liens on certain properties of ours and our subsidiaries, and (e) compliance with certain financial maintenance standards including (i) minimum stockholders’ equity, (ii) a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities not represented by senior securities) to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness, of us and our consolidated subsidiaries, of not less than 2.00: 1.0, (iii) minimum liquidity, (iv) minimum net worth, and (v) a consolidated interest coverage ratio. In addition to the financial maintenance standards, described in the preceding sentence, borrowings under the Facilities (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets in our portfolio.

The credit agreements governing the Facilities also include default provisions such as the failure to make timely payments under the Facilities, the occurrence of a change in control, and the failure by us to materially perform under the operative agreements governing the Facilities, which, if not complied with, could, at the option of the lenders under the Facilities, accelerate repayment under the Facilities, thereby materially and adversely affecting our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. Each loan originated under the Revolving Facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. We cannot be assured that we will be able to borrow funds under the Revolving Facility at any particular time or at all. We are currently in compliance with all financial covenants under the Facilities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we borrowed $85.9 million (includes CAD $29.4 million converted to USD $22.1 million) and repaid $82.8 million under the Facilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we borrowed $98.3 million and repaid $153.3 million under the Facilities.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of the Company’s outstanding Facilities approximated fair value. The fair values of the Company’s Facilities are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Company’s Facilities is estimated based upon market interest rates and entities with similar credit risk. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Facilities would be deemed to be Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Interest expense and related fees, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, of $2.2 million and $2.1 million were incurred in connection with the Facilities during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Interest expense and related fees, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, of $6.3 million and $6.2 million were incurred in connection with the Facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, were incurred in connection with the Facilities for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, were incurred in connection with the Facilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. As of September 30, 2017, we had $2.0 million of deferred financing costs related to the Revolving Facility, which is presented as an asset and $1.0 million of deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan Facility presented as a reduction to loans payable on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of December 31, 2016, we had $2.5 million of deferred financing costs related to the Revolving Facility, which is presented as an asset and $1.2 million of deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan Facility presented as a reduction to loans payable on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain exceptions, the Company is only allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. The Company’s asset coverage as of September 30, 2017 was in excess of 200%.

Notes

In December 2014, we completed a public offering of $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% notes due 2021, or the 2021 Notes. The 2021 Notes mature on November 15, 2021, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option on or after November 15, 2017. The 2021 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per year payable quarterly on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30, of each year, beginning December 30, 2014 and trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “TCRX”.

In December 2015 and November 2016, we completed a public offering of $35.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% notes due 2022, or the 2022 Notes. The 2022 Notes mature on December 30, 2022, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option on or after December 30, 2018. The 2022 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per year payable quarterly on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30, of each year, beginning March 30, 2016 and trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “TCRZ”. We refer to the 2021 Notes and the 2022 Notes collectively as the Notes.

The Notes are our direct unsecured obligations and rank: (i) pari passu with our other outstanding and future senior unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior to any of our future indebtedness that expressly provides it is subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to all our existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness that is initially unsecured to which we subsequently grant security), to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including without limitation, borrowings under our Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility; (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of any of our subsidiaries.

The Base Indenture, as supplemented by the First and Second Supplemental Indentures (the “Indenture”), contains certain covenants including covenants requiring us to comply with (regardless of whether it is subject to) the Section 18 (a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act or any successor provisions, whether or not we continue to be subject to such provisions of the 1940 Act, but giving effect, in either case, to any exemptive relief granted to us by the SEC. Currently these provisions generally prohibit us from making additional borrowings, including through the issuance of additional debt or the sale of additional debt securities, unless our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such borrowings. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides for customary events of default and further provides that the Trustee or the holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes in a series may declare such Notes immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of any event of default after expiration of any applicable grace period. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with the terms of the Base Indenture and the First and Second Supplemental Indentures governing the Notes. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for more detail on the Notes.

As of September 30, 2017, the carrying amount and fair value of our Notes was $110.0 million and $113.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the carrying value and fair value of our 2021 Notes was $110.0 million and $111.6 million, respectively. The fair value of our Notes is determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Notes is based on the closing price of the security, which is a Level 2 input under ASC 820 due to the trading volume.

In connection with the issuance of the 2021 and 2022 Notes, we incurred $4.7 million of fees and expenses. Any of these deferred financing costs are presented as a reduction to the notes payable balance and are being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we amortized approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million of deferred financing costs, respectively, which is reflected in amortization of deferred financing costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we amortized approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million of deferred financing costs, respectively, which is reflected in amortization of deferred financing costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $3.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of remaining deferred financing costs on the Notes, which reduced the notes payable balance on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred interest expense on the Notes of approximately $1.9 and $5.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred interest expense on the Notes of approximately $1.4 and $4.3 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Derivative

On May 10, 2012, we entered into a five-year interest rate swap agreement, or swap agreement, with ING Capital Markets, LLC that expired on May 10, 2017. Under the swap agreement, with a notional value of $50 million, we paid a fixed rate of 1.1425% and received a floating rate based upon the current three month LIBOR rate. We entered into the swap agreement to manage interest rate risk and not for speculative purposes.

We record the change in valuation of the swap agreement in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of each measurement period. When the quarterly swap amounts are paid or received under the swap agreement, the amounts are recorded as a realized gain (loss) as interest rate derivative periodic interest payments, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $0.0 million and $0.0 million of realized loss from the swap agreement, respectively, which is reflected as interest rate derivative periodic interest payments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of realized loss from the swap agreement, which is reflected as interest rate derivative periodic interest payments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $0.0 million and $0.1 million of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from the swap agreement, respectively, which is listed under net change in unrealized depreciation on interest rate derivative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.1 million of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from the swap agreement, respectively, which is listed under net change in unrealized depreciation on interest rate derivative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of our swap agreement was ($0.05) million, which is listed as an interest rate derivative liability on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Commitments and Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

From time to time, we, or the Advisor, may become party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings related to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Neither we, nor the Advisor, are currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Our unfunded commitments may be significant from time to time. These commitments will be subject to the same underwriting and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial instruments that we hold. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We intend to use cash flow from normal and early principal repayments and proceeds from borrowings and offerings to fund these commitments.

Distributions

We have elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to maintain our status as a regulated investment company, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income. To avoid a 4% excise tax on undistributed earnings, we are required to distribute each calendar year the sum of (i) 98% of our ordinary income for such calendar year (ii) 98.2% of our net capital gains for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year (iii) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which we paid no federal income tax.

Our quarterly distributions, if any, will be determined by our board of directors. We intend to make distributions to stockholders on a quarterly basis of substantially all of our net investment income. Although we intend to make distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually, out of assets legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment. In addition, the extent and timing of special dividends, if any, will be determined by our board of directors and will largely be driven by portfolio specific events and tax considerations at the time.

In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the BDC asset coverage test for borrowings applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act.

We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our status as a regulated investment company. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions at a particular level.

We maintain an “opt in” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, unless stockholders specifically elect to have their dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, stockholders will receive all such dividends in cash. There was $0 and $0.003 million of dividends reinvested for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. There were no dividends reinvested for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 under the dividend reinvestment plan.

Under the terms of our dividend reinvestment plan, dividends will primarily be paid in newly issued shares of common stock. However, we reserve the right to purchase shares in the open market in connection with the implementation of the plan. This feature of the plan means that, under certain circumstances, we may issue shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value per share, which could cause our stockholders to experience dilution.

Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated profits and earnings would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions will be made annually as of the end of our fiscal year based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of our distributions for a full year. If we had determined the tax attributes of our 2017 distributions as of September 30, 2017, 100% would be from ordinary income, 0% would be from capital gains and 0% would be a return of capital. Each year, a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the source of the distribution will be sent to our U.S. stockholders of record. Our board of directors presently intends to declare and pay quarterly distributions. Our ability to pay distributions could be affected by future business performance, liquidity, capital needs, alternative investment opportunities and loan covenants.

We may generate qualified interest income and short-term capital gains that may be exempt from United States withholding tax on foreign accounts. A regulated investment company, or RIC, is permitted to designate distributions in the form of dividends that represent interest income (commonly referred to as qualified interest income) and short-term capital gains as exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid to non-U.S. stockholders with proper documentation. As of September 30, 2017, the percentage of 2017 income estimated as qualified interest income for tax purposes was 80.80%.

Stock Repurchase Program

On March 7, 2017 our board of directors authorized a $20.0 million stock repurchase program. Unless extended by our board of directors, the stock repurchase program will terminate on March 7, 2018 and may be modified or terminated at any time for any reason without prior notice. We have provided our stockholders with notice of our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock in accordance with 1940 Act requirements. We will retire immediately all such shares of common stock that we purchase in connection with the stock repurchase program. 

The following table summarizes our share repurchases under our stock repurchase program for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in millions):

Investment Management Agreement

On March 7, 2017, our investment management agreement with the Advisor was re-approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of our directors who are not interested persons of us. Under the investment management agreement, the Advisor, subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to us.

Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income

On November 7, 2017, we announced that we had accepted the Advisor’s proposal to irrevocably waive the receipt of incentive fees related to net investment income, that it would otherwise be entitled to receive under the investment management agreement, for the period commencing on July 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2017. Such waived incentive fees will not be subject to recoupment.

In addition, we accepted the Advisor’s proposal to waive the receipt of up to 25% of the incentive fees accrued for the period commencing on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2018 to the extent necessary to support paying a minimum quarterly distribution to the holders of its shares of common stock equal to $0.27 per share for each quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (such waiver, “Dividend Waiver”). Such waived incentive fees shall not be subject to recoupment.

97


 

Further, commencing January 1, 2018, we accepted the Advisor’s proposal to calculate the incentive fee on net investment income as indicated below (“Reduced Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income”) and waive such portion of the Reduced Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income that is in excess of the incentive fee on net investment income as set forth in the investment management agreement that the Advisor would otherwise be entitled to receive. In order to ensure that we will pay the Advisor less aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated beginning January 1, 2018, we will, at the end of each quarter, also calculate the incentive fee on net investment income owed by us to the Advisor based on the formula in place prior to January 1, 2018 effect to the waiver (“Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income Prior to Fee Waiver Agreement”). If, at any time beginning January 1, 2018, the aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated based on the formula in place after January 1, 2018, would be greater than the aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated based on the Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income Prior to Fee Waiver Agreement, the Advisor shall only be entitled to the lesser of those two amounts. See the section Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income Calculated Prior to the Fee Waiver Agreement for the details of the calculation under the investment management agreement.

On January 1, 2018, the Reduced Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income will be calculated by reference to the most recent trailing twelve quarter period or, if shorter, the number of quarters that have occurred since January 1, 2018 (“Trailing Twelve Quarter Period”), rather than on the standalone quarterly basis as set forth in the investment management agreement.  Specifically, the net investment income component will be calculated, and payable, quarterly in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter by reference to our aggregate preincentive fee net investment income, as adjusted as described below, from the calendar quarter then ending and the eleven preceding calendar quarters (or if shorter, the number of quarters that have occurred since January 1, 2018).  Preincentive fee net investment income is expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The hurdle amount for incentive fee based on preincentive fee net investment income will continue to be determined on a quarterly basis and equal to 2.0% (which is 8.0% annualized) but shall be multiplied by the net asset value attributable to our common stock at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters (also referred to as “minimum income level”). The hurdle amount will be calculated after making appropriate adjustments for subscriptions (which includes all issuances by us of shares of our common stock, including issuances pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan) and distributions that occurred during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters.

The calculation of preincentive fee net investment income shall continue to mean interest income, amortization of original issue discount, commitment and origination fees, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as, structuring, diligence, managerial assistance and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under our administration agreement (discussed below), and any interest expense and any dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee and any offering expenses and other expenses not charged to operations but excluding certain reversals to the extent such reversals have the effect of reducing previously accrued incentive fees based on the deferral of non-cash interest. Furthermore, preincentive fee net investment income will continue to include, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash.

The incentive fee based on preincentive net investment income for each quarter will be determined as follows:

The Investment Advisor receives no incentive fee for any calendar quarter in which our preincentive fee net investment income does not exceed the minimum income level.

Subject to the Incentive Fee Cap below, the Advisor receives 100% of our preincentive fee net investment income for the Trailing Twelve Quarters with respect to that portion of the preincentive net investment income for such quarter, if any, that exceeds the minimum income level but is less than 2.5% (which is 10.0% annualized) (also referred to as the “catch-up” provision); and

20.0% of our preincentive fee net investment income, if any, greater than 2.5% (10.0% annualized) for the Trailing Twelve Quarters.

The amount of the incentive fee on preincentive net investment income that will be paid for a particular quarter will equal the excess of the incentive fee so calculated minus the aggregate incentive fees on preincentive net investment income that were paid in respect of the eleven calendar quarters (or if shorter, the appropriate number of quarters that have occurred since January 1, 2018) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters but not in excess of the Incentive Fee Cap (as described below).

98


 

The foregoing incentive fee will be subject to an Incentive Fee Cap (as defined below). The “Incentive Fee Cap” for any quarter is an amount equal to (a) 20% of the Cumulative Net Return (as defined below) during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters, minus (b) the aggregate incentive fees based on income that were paid in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters (or the portion thereof) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. “Cumulative Net Return” means (x) preincentive net investment income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (y) any Net Capital Loss, if any, in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, we will pay no incentive fee based on income to our Advisor for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is a positive value but is less than the incentive fee based on pre-incentive net investment income that is payable to our Advisor for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, we will pay an incentive fee based on preincentive net investment income to our Advisor equal to the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is equal to or greater than the incentive fee based on preincentive net investment income that is payable to our Advisor for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, we will pay an incentive fee based on income to our Advisor equal to the incentive fee calculated as described above for such quarter without regard to the Incentive Fee Cap.

“Net Capital Loss” in respect of a particular period means the difference, if positive, between (i) aggregate capital losses, whether realized or unrealized, in such period and (ii) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized, in such period.

For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of the Reduced Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income is to reduce aggregate incentive fees payable to Advisor by us, effective as of January 1, 2018. In order to ensure that we will pay the Advisor less aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated beginning January 1, 2018, we will, at the end of each quarter, also calculate the incentive fee on net investment income owed by us to Advisor based on the formula in place prior to January 1, 2018. If, at any time beginning January 1, 2018, the aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated based on the formula in place after January 1, 2018 after giving effect to the Dividend Waiver, would be greater than the aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated based on the formula in place prior to January 1, 2018, the Advisor shall only be entitled to the lesser of those two amounts until such time as the requisite number of shareholders approve such amended incentive fee calculation

Incentive Fee on Net Investment Income Prior to Fee Waiver Agreement

The incentive fee on net investment income prior to the Fee Waiver Agreement was calculated and payable, quarterly in arrears based on our preincentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a cumulative total return requirement and to deferral of non-cash amounts. The preincentive fee net investment income, which was expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets attributable to the our common stock, for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, had a 2.0% (which is 8.0% annualized) hurdle rate (also referred to as “minimum income level”). The Advisor received no incentive fee for any calendar quarter in which our preincentive fee net investment income does not exceed the minimum income level. Subject to the cumulative total return requirement described below, the Advisor receives 100% of our preincentive fee net investment income for any calendar quarter with respect to that portion of the preincentive net investment income for such quarter, if any, that exceeded the minimum income level but is less than 2.5% (which is 10.0% annualized) of net assets (also referred to as the “catch-up” provision) and 20.0% of our preincentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter, if any, greater than 2.5% (10.0% annualized) of net assets. The foregoing incentive fee was subject to a total return requirement, which provided that no incentive fee in respect of our preincentive fee net investment income is payable except to the extent 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations over the then current and 11 preceding calendar quarters exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the 11 preceding quarters. In other words, any ordinary income incentive fee that was payable in a calendar quarter was limited to the lesser of (i) 20% of the amount by which our  preincentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter exceeds the 2.0% hurdle, subject to the “catch- up” provision, and (ii) (x) 20% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the then current and 11 preceding quarters minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the 11 preceding calendar quarters. For the foregoing purpose, the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” was the amount, if positive, of the sum of our preincentive fee net investment income, base management fees, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the then current and 11 preceding calendar quarters. In addition, the portion of such incentive fee that was attributable to deferred interest (sometimes referred to as payment-in-kind interest, or PIK, or original issue discount, or OID) will be paid to Advisor, together with interest thereon from the date of deferral to the date of payment, only if and to the extent the Advisor actually received such interest in cash, and any accrual thereof was be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write-off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred interest accrual. There was no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and accordingly there is no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the quarterly hurdle rate and there is no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the quarterly hurdle rate.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $0 and $2.6 million, net of incentive fees waived of $0.8 million and $0, respectively, of incentive fees related to ordinary income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $2.5 million and $2.7 million, net of incentive fees waived of $0.8 million and $0, respectively, of incentive fees related to ordinary income. The lower incentive fees compared to the prior three and nine months were the result of realized and unrealized losses in the portfolio and the current quarter incentive fee waiver. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0 and $2.2 million, respectively, of such incentive fees are currently payable to the Advisor. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively of incentive fees incurred by us were generated from deferred interest (i.e. PIK, certain discount accretion and deferred interest) and are not payable until such amounts are received in cash.

Incentive Fee on Capital Gains

The second component of the incentive fee (capital gains incentive fee) is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the investment management agreement, as of the termination date). This component is equal to 20.0% of our cumulative aggregate realized capital gains from inception through the end of that calendar year, computed net of the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and cumulative aggregate unrealized capital depreciation through the end of such year. The calculation of the capital gains incentive fee has not been modified or waived. The aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees is subtracted from such capital gains incentive fee calculated. There was no capital gains incentive fee payable to our Advisor under the investment management agreement of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

GAAP Incentive Fee

GAAP requires that the incentive fee accrual considers the cumulative aggregate realized gains and losses and unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation of investments or other financial instruments, such as an interest rate derivative, in the calculation, as an incentive fee would be payable if such realized gains and losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation were realized, even though such realized gains and losses and unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the investment management agreement (“GAAP Incentive Fee”). There can be no assurance that such unrealized appreciation or depreciation will be realized in the future. Accordingly, such fee, as calculated and accrued, would not necessarily be payable under the investment management agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of incentive fees in subsequent periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred no incentive fees related to the GAAP incentive fee.

Base Management Fee

The base management fee calculation remains the same and is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of our gross assets payable quarterly in arrears on a calendar quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the base management fee, “gross assets” is determined as the value of our assets without deduction for any liabilities. The base management fee is calculated based on the value of our gross assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred base management fees payable to the Advisor of $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred base management fees payable to the Advisor of $7.8 million and $8.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, was payable to the Advisor.

Administration Agreement

We have also entered into an administration agreement with the Advisor under which the Advisor will provide administrative services to us. Under the administration agreement, the Advisor performs, or oversees the performance of administrative services necessary for our operation, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records which we are required to maintain and preparing reports to our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Advisor assists in determining and publishing our net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. We will reimburse the Advisor for our allocable portion of the costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor for overhead in performance by the Advisor of its duties under the administration agreement and the investment management agreement, including facilities, office equipment and our allocable portion of cost of compensation and related expenses of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs, as well as any costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor relating to any administrative or operating services provided to us by the Advisor. Our board of directors reviews the allocation

methodologies with respect to such expenses. Such costs are reflected as Administrator expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Under the administration agreement, the Advisor provides, on our behalf, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance. To the extent that our Advisor outsources any of its functions, we pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without profit to the Advisor.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred administrator expenses of $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred administrator expenses of $2.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0.2 million of administrator expenses were due from the Advisor and $0.1 million was payable to the Advisor, respectively.

License Agreement

We and the Advisor have entered into a license agreement with THL Partners under which THL Partners has granted to us and the Advisor a non-exclusive, personal, revocable worldwide non-transferable license to use the trade name and service mark THL, which is a proprietary mark of THL Partners, for specified purposes in connection with our respective businesses. This license agreement is royalty-free, which means we are not charged a fee for our use of the trade name and service mark THL. The license agreement is terminable either in its entirety or with respect to us or the Advisor by THL Partners at any time in its sole discretion upon 60 days prior written notice, and is also terminable with respect to either us or the Advisor by THL Partners in the case of certain events of non-compliance. After the expiration of its first one year term, the entire license agreement is terminable by either us or the Advisor at our or its sole discretion upon 60 days prior written notice. Upon termination of the license agreement, we and the Advisor must cease to use the name and mark THL, including any use in our respective legal names, filings, listings and other uses that may require us to withdraw or replace our names and marks. Other than with respect to the limited rights contained in the license agreement, we and the Advisor have no right to use, or other rights in respect of, the THL name and mark. We are an entity operated independently from THL Partners, and third parties who deal with us have no recourse against THL Partners.

Managed Funds

The Advisor and its affiliates may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole or in part, with ours. For example, the Advisor may serve as investment adviser to one or more private funds, registered closed-end funds and CLOs. In addition, our officers may serve in similar capacities for one or more private funds, registered closed-end funds and CLOs. The Advisor and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Advisor or its affiliates may determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, and consistent with the Advisor’s allocation procedures. The Advisor’s policies will be designed to manage and mitigate the conflicts of interest associated with the allocation of investment opportunities if we are able to co-invest, either pursuant to SEC interpretive positions or an exemptive order, with other funds managed by the Advisor and its affiliates. As a result, the Advisor and/or its affiliates may face conflicts in allocating investment opportunities between us and such other entities. Although the Advisor and its affiliates will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner and consistent with application allocation procedures, it is possible that we may not be given the opportunity to participate in investments made by investment funds managed by the Advisor or its affiliates.

The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from making certain negotiated co-investments with certain affiliates absent an order from the SEC permitting the BDC to do so. The SEC has granted us the Order we sought in an exemptive application that expands our ability to co-invest in portfolio companies with Affiliated Funds in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions to the Order. Pursuant to the Order, we are permitted to co-invest with Affiliated Funds if, among other things, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) or our independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our investment objective and strategies.

Greenway

On January 14, 2011, THL Credit Greenway Fund LLC, or Greenway, was formed as a Delaware limited liability company. Greenway is a portfolio company of ours. Greenway is a closed-end investment fund which provides for no liquidity or redemption options and is not readily marketable. Greenway operates under a limited liability agreement dated January 19, 2011, or the Agreement. Greenway will continue in existence until January 14, 2021, subject to earlier termination pursuant to certain terms of the Agreement. The term may also be extended for up to three additional one-year periods pursuant to certain terms of the Agreement. Greenway had a two year investment period.

101


 

Greenway had $150 million of capital committed by affiliates of a single institutional investor, and is managed by us. Our capital commitment to Greenway is $0.0 million. As of September 30, 2017, all commitments have been called. Our nominal investment in Greenway is reflected in the September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 Consolidated Schedules of Investments. As of September 30, 2017, distributions representing 125.2% of the committed capital of the investor have been made from Greenway. Distributions from Greenway, including return of capital and earnings, to its members from inception through September 30, 2017 totaled $187.7 million.

We act as the investment adviser to Greenway and are entitled to receive certain fees relating to our investment management services provided, including a base management fee, a performance fee and a portion of the closing fees on each investment transaction. As a result, Greenway is classified as an affiliate of ours. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we earned $0.0 million in fees related to Greenway, which is included in other income from non-controlled, affiliated investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a net reduction of fees of $0.0 million related primarily to unrealized incentive fees related to Greenway’s portfolio performance, which is included in other income from non-controlled, affiliated investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we earned $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in fees related to Greenway which was included in other income from non-controlled, affiliated investment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0.0 million and $0.2 million of fees and expenses related to Greenway, respectively, were included in due from affiliate on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Greenway invested in securities similar to those that we invest in pursuant to investment and allocation guidelines which address, among other things, the size of the borrowers, the types of transactions and the concentration and investment ratio amongst Greenway and us. However, we have the discretion to invest in other securities.

Greenway II

On January 31, 2013, THL Credit Greenway Fund II, LLC, or Greenway II LLC, was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is a portfolio company of ours. Greenway II LLC is a closed-end investment fund which provides for no liquidity or redemption options and is not readily marketable. Greenway II LLC operates under a limited liability agreement dated February 11, 2013, as amended, or the Greenway II LLC Agreement. Greenway II LLC will continue in existence for eight years from the final closing date, subject to earlier termination pursuant to certain terms of the Greenway II LLC Agreement. The term may also be extended for up to three additional one-year periods pursuant to certain terms of the Greenway II LLC Agreement. Greenway II LLC has a two year investment period.

As contemplated in the Greenway II LLC Agreement, we have established a related investment vehicle and entered into an investment management agreement with an account set up by an unaffiliated third party investor to invest alongside Greenway II LLC pursuant to similar economic terms. The account is also managed by us. References to “Greenway II” herein include Greenway II LLC and the account of the related investment vehicle. Greenway II has $187.0 million of commitments primarily from institutional investors. As of September 30, 2017, all commitments have been called. Our nominal investment in Greenway II is reflected in the September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 Consolidated Schedules of Investments. As of September 30, 2017, distributions representing 64.5% of the committed capital of the Greenway II investors have been made from Greenway II. Distributions from Greenway II to its members and investors, including return of capital and earnings, from inception through September 30, 2017 totaled $120.6 million.

We act as the investment adviser to Greenway II and are entitled to receive certain fees relating to our investment management services provided, including a base management fee, a performance fee and a portion of the closing fees on each investment transaction. As a result, Greenway II is classified as an affiliate of the Company. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we earned $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in fees related to Greenway II, which are included in other income from non-controlled, affiliated investment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we earned $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in fees related to Greenway II, which are included in other income from non-controlled, affiliated investment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0.3 million and $0.4 million of fees related to Greenway II were included in due from affiliate on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

102


 

Other deferred assets consist of placement agent expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of partnership interests in Greenway II. These amounts are capitalized when commitments close and are recognized as an expense over the period when the Company expects to collect management fees from Greenway II. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in expenses related to placement agent expenses, which are included in other general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in expenses related to placement agent expenses, which are included in other general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0 and $0.2 million, respectively, were included in other deferred assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of September 30, 2017, the other deferred assets were fully recognized.

Greenway II invested in securities similar to those that we invest in pursuant to investment and allocation guidelines which address, among other things, the size of the borrowers, the types of transactions and the concentration and investment ratio amongst Greenway II and us. However, we have the discretion to invest in other securities.

As of September 30, 2017, the Advisor owed $0.2 million of administrator expenses as a reimbursement to us, which was included in due from affiliate on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of December 31, 2016, we owed $0.1 million, of administrator expense to the Advisor, which was included in accrued expenses and other payables on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

We act as the investment adviser to Greenway and Greenway II and are entitled to receive certain fees. As a result, each of Greenway and Greenway II is classified as an affiliate. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0.3 million and $0.5 million of fees related to Greenway and Greenway II, respectively, were included in due from affiliate on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For our controlled equity investments, as of September 30, 2017, we had $3.7 million of dividends receivable from Logan JV and C&K Market, Inc. and $0.3 million of fees from OEM Group, LLC included in interest, dividends, and fees receivable and $0.4 million of fees from Tri Starr Management Services, Inc. in prepaid expenses and other assets, which was offset by $0.1 million of deferred revenue in other deferred liabilities, on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of December 31, 2016, we had $4.5 million of dividends receivable from Logan JV and C&K Market, Inc. and $0.6 million of fees from OEM Group, LLC included in interest, dividends, and fees receivable and $0.5 million of fees from Tri Starr Management Services, Inc. in prepaid expenses and other assets, which was offset by $0.4 million of deferred revenue in other deferred liabilities, on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Critical accounting policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. In addition to the discussion below, our significant accounting policies are further described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

As a BDC, we generally invest in illiquid securities including debt and equity investments of lower middle market companies. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or one or more broker-dealers or market makers. Debt and equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are not considered to be the best estimate of fair value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors. Because we expect that there will not be a readily available market value for many of the investments in our portfolio, it is expected that many of our portfolio investments’ values will be determined in good faith by our board of directors in accordance with a documented valuation policy that has been reviewed and approved by our board of directors and in accordance with GAAP. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

103


 

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment;

 

preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of the Advisor;

 

to the extent determined by the audit committee of our board of directors, independent valuation firms are used to conduct independent appraisals and review the Advisor’s preliminary valuations in light of their own independent assessment;

 

the audit committee of our board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of the Advisor and independent valuation firms and, if necessary, responds and supplements the valuation recommendation of the independent valuation firms to reflect any comments; and

 

our board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Advisor, the respective independent valuation firms and the audit committee.

The types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. We generally utilize an income approach to value our debt investments and a combination of income and market approaches to value our equity investments. With respect to unquoted securities, the Advisor and our board of directors, in consultation with our independent third party valuation firms, values each investment considering, among other measures, discounted cash flow models, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public and other factors, which valuation is then approved by our board of directors.

Debt Investments

For debt investments, we generally determine the fair value primarily using an income, or yield, approach that analyzes the discounted cash flows of interest and principal for the debt security, as set forth in the associated loan agreements, as well as the financial position and credit risk of each portfolio investments. Our estimate of the expected repayment date is generally the legal maturity date of the instrument. The yield analysis considers changes in leverage levels, credit quality, portfolio company performance and other factors. The enterprise value, a market approach, is used to determine the value of equity and debt investments that are credit impaired, close to maturity or where we also hold a controlling equity interest. The method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis, whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA. The collateral valuation analysis is utilized when repayment is based on the sale of the underlying collateral. This is a new technique we implemented during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  

Interest Rate Derivative

We value our interest rate derivative agreement using an income approach that analyzes the discounted cash flows associated with the interest rate derivative agreement. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flows methodology include the forward interest rate yield curves in effect as of the end of the measurement period and an evaluation of the counterparty’s credit risk.

Collateralized Loan Obligations

We value our residual interest investments in collateralized loan obligations using an income approach that analyzes the discounted cash flows of our residual interest. The discounted cash flows model utilizes prepayment, re-investment and loss assumptions based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow, and comparable yields for similar collateralized loan obligation fund subordinated notes or equity, when available. Specifically, we use Intex cash flow models, or an appropriate substitute to form the basis for the valuation of our residual interest. The models use a set of assumptions including projected default rates, recovery rates, reinvestment rate and prepayment rates in order to arrive at estimated cash flows. The assumptions are based on available market data and projections provided by third parties as well as management estimates.

Payment Rights

We value our investment in payment rights using an income approach that analyzes the discounted projected future cash flow streams assuming an appropriate discount rate, which will among other things consider other transactions in the market, the current credit environment, performance of the underlying portfolio company and the length of the remaining payment stream.

104


 

Equity

We use a combination of the income and market approaches to value our equity investments. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future cash flows or earnings to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, the current investment performance rating, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, transaction comparables, our principal market as the reporting entity, and enterprise values, among other factors.

Investment in Funds

In circumstances in which net asset value per share of an investment is determinative of fair value, we estimate the fair value of an investment in an investment company using the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) without further adjustment if the net asset value per share of the investment is determined in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies as of the reporting entity’s measurement date.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, we disclose the fair value of our investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level l—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3—Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by management.

We consider whether the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identify transactions that are not orderly in determining fair value. Accordingly, if we determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value. Valuation techniques such as an income approach might be appropriate to supplement or replace a market approach in those circumstances.

We have adopted the authoritative guidance under GAAP for estimating the fair value of investments in investment companies that have calculated net asset value per share in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for Investment Companies. Accordingly, in circumstances in which net asset value per share of an investment is determinative of fair value, we estimate the fair value of an investment in an investment company using the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) without further adjustment if the net asset value per share of the investment is determined in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies as of the reporting entity’s measurement date. Redemptions are not generally permitted in our investments in funds. The remaining term of our investments in funds is expected to be three to seven years.

Revenue Recognition

We record interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Original issue discount, principally representing the estimated fair value of detachable equity or warrants obtained in conjunction with the acquisition of debt securities, and market discount or premium are capitalized and accreted or amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts and premiums and upfront loan origination fees.

105


 

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when it is no longer probable that principal or interest will be collected. However, we may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. We record the reversal of any previously accrued income against the same income category reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2017, we had loans on non-accrual status with an amortized cost basis of $32.4 million and fair value of $19.7 million. As of September 30, 2016, we had loans on non-accrual status with an amortized cost basis of $21.1 million and fair value of $18.7 million.

We have investments in our portfolio which contain a contractual paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest provision. PIK interest is computed at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement, is added to the principal balance of the investment, and is recorded as income. We will cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or if we do not expect amounts to be collectible and will generally only begin to recognize PIK income again when all principal and interest have been paid or upon a restructuring of the investment where the interest is deemed collectable. To maintain our status as a RIC, PIK interest income, which is considered investment company taxable income, must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends even though we have not yet collected the cash. Amounts necessary to pay these dividends may come from available cash.

We capitalize and amortize upfront loan origination fees received in connection with the closing of investments. The unearned income from such fees is accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the loan based on the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees, and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income.

Interest income from our investment in TRA and CLO residual interest investments are recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity using anticipated cash flows with any remaining amount recorded to the cost basis of the investment. We monitor the anticipated cash flows from our TRA and CLO residual interest investments and will adjust our effective yield periodically as needed.

Other income includes commitment fees, fees related to the management of Greenway and Greenway II, fees related to the management of certain controlled equity investments, structuring fees, amendment fees and unused commitment fees associated with investments in portfolio companies. These fees are recognized as income when earned by us in accordance with the terms of the applicable management or credit agreement and may or may not be recurring in nature as part of our normal business operations.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, using the specific identification method, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. We measure realized gains or losses on the interest rate derivative based upon the difference between the proceeds received or the amounts paid on the interest rate derivative. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values or value of the interest rate derivative during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes, including excise tax

We operate so as to maintain our status as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and intend to continue to do so. Accordingly, we are not subject to federal income tax on the portion of our taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, we are required to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid a 4% federal excise tax, we must distribute each calendar year the sum of (i) 98% of our ordinary income for each such calendar year (ii) 98.2% of our net capital gains for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year, and (iii) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which we paid no federal income tax. We may choose not to distribute all of our taxable income for the calendar year and pay a non-deductible 4% excise tax on this income. If we choose to do so, all other things being equal, this would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. To the extent that we determine that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions from such taxable income, we accrue excise taxes on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned using an annual effective excise tax rate. We will accrue excise tax on undistributed taxable income as required. Please refer to “Distributions” above for a summary of the distributions. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 we incurred U.S. federal excise tax and other tax expenses of $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 we incurred U.S. federal excise tax and other tax expenses of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Certain consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. These taxable entities are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax liabilities or assets from permanent and temporary differences in the recognition of items for financial reporting and income tax purposes at the subsidiaries.

These current and deferred income taxes are determined from taxable income estimates provided by portfolio companies where we hold equity or equity-like investments organized as pass-through entities in its corporate subsidiaries. These tax estimates may be subject to further change once tax information is finalized for the year. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of income tax receivable was included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0.7 million and $0, respectively, of income taxes payable were included in income taxes payable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities relating to a current tax provision for taxable ordinary income and realized gains for a consolidated blocker corporation. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $4.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively, were included in deferred tax liability on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities primarily relating to deferred taxes on unrealized gains and other temporary book to tax differences related to investments and other book to tax differences held in its corporate subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $5.3 million (net of $0.4 million allowance) and $2.4 million (net of $2.1 million allowance), respectively, of deferred tax assets were presented on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities relating to net operating loss carryforwards and unrealized losses on investments and other temporary book to tax differences that are expected to be used in future periods. We believe that it will be able to fully utilize these deferred tax assets against future taxable income.

Under the RIC Modernization Act (the “RIC Act”), we are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during post-enactment taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under the rules applicable to pre-enactment capital losses.

Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

We follow the provisions under the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. The provisions require us to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. There are no unrecognized tax benefits or obligations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Although we file U.S. federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is U.S. federal. Our inception-to-date U.S. federal tax years remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Recent Developments

From October 1, 2017 through November 9, 2017, we closed three new first lien senior secured debt investments totaling $11.7 million in the IT services, Consumer services and Business services industries, one new equity investment totaling $0.2 million in the Consumer services industry and two follow-on first lien senior secured debt investments totaling $0.8 million. The new and follow-on floating rate investments have a combined weighted average yield based upon cost at the time of the investment of 8.8%.

On October 30, 2017, we sold our first lien senior secured term loans in Wheels Up Partners, LLC for $15.1 million.

On October 30, 2017, we received proceeds of $5.5 million from the partial repayment of our first lien term loan in Alex Toys, LLC, which included a $0.08 million prepayment premium.

On November 7, 2017, in consultation with our board of directors, we accepted the Advisor’s proposal to waive its incentive fee on net investment income for each of the three month periods ending September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017 and entered into a fee waiver agreement whereby incentive fees on net investment income would be calculated under a new formula that would result in a lower incentive fee if such result was lesser than such calculation in effect prior to January 1, 2018. Further, the Advisor will also waive the receipt of up to 25% of the incentive fees accrued for the period commencing on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2018 to the extent necessary to support us paying a minimum quarterly distribution to the holders of our shares of common stock equal to $0.27 per share for each quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Such incentive fees waived shall not be subject to recoupment. Refer to Related Party Transactions in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more information.

On November 7, 2017, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.27 per share payable on December 29, 2017 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 15, 2017.

Item  3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2017, 92.0% of the debt investments in our portfolio are floating rate loans, based upon fair market value.  In the future, we expect other debt investments in our portfolio will have floating rates. These floating rate loans typically bear interest in reference to LIBOR, which are indexed to 30-day, 60-day, 90-day or 180-day LIBOR rates subject to an interest rate floor. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate floor on our floating rate loans was 0.93% and 0.91%, respectively. Our Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility are also subject to floating interest rates.

Based on our September 30, 2017, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the following table shows the annual impact on net income of changes in interest rates, which assumes no changes in our investments and borrowings (in millions):

Excludes the impact of incentive fees based on pre-incentive fee net investment income. See “Note 4. Related Party Transaction” footnote to our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 for more information on the incentive fee.

Although we believe that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of the assets on the balance sheet and other business developments, including borrowings under our Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility, that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net income.

In the future, we may use other standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contacts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments.

108


 

From time to time, we may make investments that are denominated in a foreign currency. These investments are translated into U.S. dollars at each balance sheet date, exposing us to movements in foreign exchange rates. We have the ability to borrow in certain foreign currencies under our Revolving Credit Facility. Instead of entering into a foreign exchange forward contract in connection with loans or other investments we have made that are denominated in a foreign currency, we may borrow in that currency to establish a natural hedge against our loan or investment.

Item  4.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
