(n) | For equity investments in Collateralized Securities, the effective yield is presented in place of the investment coupon rate for each investment. Refer to footnote (v) for a further description of an equity investment in a Collateralized Security. |
(o) | The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments based on the level of control that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally presumed to be "non-controlled" when the Company owns 25% or less of the portfolio company's voting securities and "controlled" when the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company's voting securities. The Company classifies this investment as "controlled". |
(p) | The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments further based on the level of ownership that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally deemed as "non-affiliated" when the Company owns less than 5% of a portfolio company's voting securities and "affiliated" when the Company owns 5% or more of a portfolio company's voting securities. The Company classifies this investment as "affiliated". |
(q) | Unless otherwise indicated, all investments in the schedule of investments are non-affiliated, non-controlled investments. |
(r) | The Company's investment is held through the Consolidated Holding Company, Kahala Aviation Holdings, LLC, which owns 49% of the operating company, Danish CRJ LTD. |
(s) | Related Fee Agreements consist of five investments with a total fair value of $1.3 million that are classified as Affiliated Investments. |
(t) | The investment is on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2018. |
(u) | Investments are held in the taxable wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary, 54th Street Equity Holdings, Inc. |
(v) | The Collateralized Securities - subordinated notes are treated as equity investments and are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow of the payments made by the underlying fund’s securities less contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses. The estimated yield indicated is based upon a current projection of the amount and timing of these recurring distributions and the estimated amount of repayment of principal upon termination. Such projections are periodically reviewed and adjusted, and the estimated yield may not ultimately be realized. |
(w) | The Company's investment is held through the consolidated subsidiary, Park Ave RE, Inc., which owns 100% of the equity of the operating company, Park Ave RE Holdings, LLC. |
(x) | The Company's investment or a portion thereof is pledged as collateral under the JPMC PB Account. Individual investments can be divided into parts which are pledged to separate credit facilities. |
(y) | The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR" or "L") or Prime ("P") and which reset daily, monthly, quarterly or semiannually. For each, the Company has provided the spread over LIBOR or Prime and the current interest rate in effect at December 31, 2018. Certain investments are subject to a LIBOR or Prime interest rate floor. For fixed rate loans, a spread above a reference rate is not applicable. |
(z) | The principal amount (par amount) is denominated in Canadian Dollars or CAD. |
(aa) | The investment is not a restricted security. All other securities are restricted securities. |
(ab) | The investment is held through a participation interest in which the Company has a contractual relationship only with the loan transferor, not the underlying borrower. The Company may be subject to the credit risk of the loan transferor as well as of the borrower. |

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation
Business Development Corporation of America (the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company incorporated in Maryland in May 2010 that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“the 1940 Act”). In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company’s investment activities are managed by BDCA Adviser, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. (“BSP”) and supervised by the Company’s board of directors, a majority of whom are independent of the Adviser and its affiliates. As a BDC, the Company is required to comply with certain regulatory requirements.
The Company’s investment objective is to generate both current income and to a lesser extent long-term capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company invests primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt issued by middle market companies. The Company defines middle market companies as those with annual revenues up to $1 billion. The Company also purchases interests in loans through secondary market transactions. First and second lien secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt and equity in bankruptcy priority and are generally secured by liens on the operating assets of a borrower, which may include inventory, receivables, plant, property and equipment. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior loans and is generally unsecured. The Company may invest in the equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation investment vehicles (“Collateralized Securities” or "CLOs"). CLOs are entities that are formed to manage a portfolio of senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is typically rated below investment grade or, in limited circumstances, unrated. The senior secured loans within these Collateralized Securities meet specified credit and diversity criteria and are subject to concentration limitations in order to create a diverse investment portfolio. In most cases, companies to whom the Company provides customized financing solutions will be privately held at the time the Company invests in them.
On April 3, 2018, BSP, through its affiliate BSP TCAP Acquisition Holdings LP (the “Acquisition Entity”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Triangle Capital Corporation (“Triangle”) under which certain funds advised by BSP agreed to acquire Triangle’s Investment Portfolio (the “Triangle Portfolio”) for $981.2 million in cash, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the APA (the “Triangle Transaction”). The Company’s Adviser is an affiliate of BSP, and the Company participated in the Triangle Transaction by purchasing a portion of the Triangle Portfolio, facilitated through the Acquisition Entity.
On July 31, 2018, BSP completed the Triangle Transaction. The gross cash proceeds paid to Triangle were approximately $793.3 million, after adjustments to take into account portfolio activity and other matters occurring since December 31, 2017. In accordance with BSP’s allocation policy, the Company acquired approximately 24% of the assets in the Triangle Portfolio for an aggregate purchase price of $188.1 million. The final allocation of the investments in the Triangle Portfolio by BSP was based on a number of factors, including, among others, the Company's available capital at the time of allocation, changes in the composition of the Triangle Portfolio between the signing of the APA and the closing of the Triangle Transaction, the suitability of the investments in Triangle’s Portfolio for the Company as compared to the other funds managed by BSP, regulatory guidance regarding the allocation of certain Triangle Portfolio assets between funds managed by BSP and changes in the relative size of the funds managed by BSP.
The Company accounted for the Triangle Transaction under the accounting and reporting guidance within ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The Company concluded that the Triangle Transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition and no further considerations or disclosures required for a business combination under ASC 805 are warranted.
On February 1, 2019, Franklin Templeton acquired BSP, including BSP’s 100% ownership interest in our Adviser (the “FT Transaction”). All investment professionals currently managing the Company and its investments, and all members of the BSP’s Investment Committee are expected to maintain their current responsibilities after the FT Transaction.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company invested approximately $283.0 million to portfolio companies to contribute to the support of their business objectives of which some were contractually obligated. See Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies. As of March 31, 2019, the Company held investments in loans it made to investee companies with aggregate principal amounts of $2,366.2 million. The details of such investments have been disclosed on the consolidated schedule of investments as well as in Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments. In addition to providing loans to investee companies, from time to time the Company may assist investee companies in securing financing from other sources by introducing such investee companies to sponsors or other lending institutions.

While the structure of the Company’s investments is likely to vary, the Company may invest in senior secured debt, senior unsecured debt, subordinated secured debt, subordinated unsecured debt, mezzanine debt, convertible debt, convertible preferred equity, preferred equity, common equity, warrants, CLOs and other instruments, many of which generate current yields. If the Adviser deems appropriate, the Company may invest in more liquid senior secured and second lien debt securities, some of which may be traded. The Company will make such investments to the extent allowed by the 1940 Act and consistent with its continued qualification as a RIC for federal income tax purposes.
On January 25, 2011, the Company commenced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) on a “reasonable best efforts basis” of up to 150.0 million shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and subsequently amended the offering to issue up to an additional 101.1 million shares of its common stock (the “Offering”). The Company closed the Offering to new investments on April 30, 2015. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had issued 212.6 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $2.2 billion including the shares purchased by affiliates and shares issued under the Company's distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). As of March 31, 2019, the Company had repurchased a cumulative 23.4 million shares of common stock through its share repurchase program for payments of $204.3 million.
The Company intends to co-invest, subject to the conditions included in the exemptive order the Company received from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), with certain of its affiliates. The Company believes that such co-investments may afford it additional investment opportunities and an ability to achieve greater diversification.
As a BDC, the Company is generally required to invest at least 70% of its total assets primarily in securities of private and certain U.S. public companies (other than certain financial institutions), cash, cash equivalents and U.S. Government securities and other high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.
The Company is permitted to borrow money from time to time within the levels permitted by the 1940 Act (which generally currently allows it to incur leverage for up to one half of its total assets). The Company has used, and expects to continue to use, its credit facilities and other borrowings, along with proceeds from the rotation of its portfolio and proceeds from private securities offerings to finance its investment objectives.
Although Congress passed the Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCAA”) on March 23, 2018, which amended the 1940 Act to permit BDCs to incur increased leverage if certain conditions are met, the Company does not presently intend to avail itself of the increased leverage limits permitted by the SBCAA. If the Company were to avail itself of the increased leverage permitted by the SBCAA, this would effectively allow the Company to double its leverage, which would increase leverage risk and expenses.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, both normal and recurring which, in the opinion of management, are necessary of the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for the periods presented. The Company is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 - Financial Services - Investment Companies ("ASC 946").
The Company consolidates the following subsidiaries for accounting purposes: BDCA Funding I, LLC (“Funding I”), BDCA-CB Funding, LLC (“CB Funding”), BDCA Helvetica Funding, Ltd. (“Helvetica Funding”), 54th Street Equity Holdings, Inc. and the Consolidated Holding Companies. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In conjunction with the consolidation of subsidiaries, the Company recognizes non-controlling interests attributable to third party ownership in the following Consolidated Holding Companies: Kahala Aviation Holdings, LLC, Kahala Aviation US, Inc., and Kahala LuxCo.

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, as appropriate. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements may not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2019.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Consolidation
As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a substantially or wholly-owned investment company or controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the accounts of the Company's substantially wholly-owned subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
Portfolio investments are reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis, the Company performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as follows:
Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, the Company uses the quote obtained.
Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. 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 amounts (for example, 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 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, 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, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
• | Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by the Adviser, with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by the Company's board of directors or as noted below, with respect to investments in an investment fund; |
• | The independent valuation firm(s) conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and |
• | The board of directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable). |

For the period ended March 31, 2019
(Unaudited)
For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company measures the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC 946, as of the Company's measurement date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sell such investment at a price equal to its net asset value per share and the Company may ultimately sell such investment at a discount to its net asset value per share.
The Company’s investments in funds that offer periodic liquidity have redemption frequencies which range from monthly to quarterly and redemption notice periods which range from 30 to 90 days. Investments in private equity typically do not offer liquidity and instead, capital is returned through periodic distributions.
Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in its portfolio, the Company values substantially all of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by its board of directors, as described herein. 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 fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.
Investment Classification
The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “Control” is defined as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. In addition, any person “who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% of the voting securities of a company shall be presumed to control such company. Typically, any person who does not so own more than 25% of the voting securities of any company shall be presumed not to control such company”. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Affiliated Investments” are defined as those investments in companies in which the Company owns 5% or more of the voting securities. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Non-affiliated Investments” are defined as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliated Investments.
Where appropriate, prior period consolidated financial statements may have been reclassified to disclose the Company's Control Investments and Affiliate Investments as defined above. In addition, prior period consolidated financial statements may have been reclassified to present investment industry classifications in a consistent manner with the current year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments in a money market deposit account. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
Offering Costs
The Company incurs certain costs in connection with the registration of shares of its common stock. Offering costs principally relate to professional fees, printing costs, direct marketing expenses, due diligence costs, fees paid to regulators and other expenses, including the salaries and/or expenses of the Adviser and its affiliates engaged in registering and marketing the Company’s common stock. Such allocated expenses of the Adviser and its affiliates may include the development of marketing materials and presentations, training and educational meetings, and generally coordinating the marketing process for the Company.
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company and the Adviser have agreed that the Company will not be liable for organization and offering costs, including transfer agent fees, in excess of 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Company’s on-going offering. Should the Company resume continually offering its shares, any offering costs incurred will be capitalized and amortized as an expense on a straight-line basis over a 12-month period. For the periods ended March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018 the Company did not incur any offering costs.
Deferred Financing Costs
Financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s unsecured notes and revolving credit facilities with Wells Fargo, Citi, and UBS are capitalized and amortized into expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective yield method over the life of the respective facility. See Note 5 - Borrowings for details on the credit facilities and unsecured notes.

Distributions
The Company’s board of directors has authorized, and has declared, cash distributions payable on a monthly basis to stockholders of record on each day since it commenced operations. From November 2013 until July 2017, the distribution rate has been $0.002378082 per day, which is equivalent to $0.868 per annum, per share of common stock, except for 2016 where the daily distribution rate was $0.002371585 per day to accurately reflect 2016 being a leap year. In July 2017, the board of directors reduced the distribution rate with respect to the Company's cash distributions to $0.001780822 per day, which is equivalent to $0.65 annually, per share of common stock.
The amount of each such distribution is subject to the discretion of the board of directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. The Company calculates each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the month using record and declaration dates and accrue distributions on the date the Company accepts a subscription for shares of the Company’s common stock. The distributions are payable by the fifth day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month. From time to time, the Company may also pay interim distributions, including capital gains distributions, at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s distributions may exceed earnings, especially during the period before it has substantially invested the proceeds from the offering. As a result, a portion of the distributions made by the Company may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is a return of each stockholder’s investment rather than earnings or gains derived from the Company’s investment activities.
The Company may fund cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including advances from the Adviser that are subject to reimbursement, as well as offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. See Note 13 - Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders for additional information.
Revenue Recognition
Interest Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments.
The Company has a number of investments in Collateralized Securities. Interest income from investments in the “equity” class of these Collateralized Securities (in the Company's case, preferred shares or subordinated notes) is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with ASC 325-40-35, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets ("ASC 325-40-35"). The Company monitors the expected cash inflows from its equity investments in Collateralized Securities, including the expected principal repayments. The effective yield is determined and updated quarterly. In accordance with ASC 325-40, investments in CLOs are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"). When the Company determines that a CLO has OTTI, the amortized cost basis of the CLO is written down as of the date of the determination based on events and information evaluated and that write-down is recognized as a realized loss.
Fee Income
Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment, termination and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned, either upon receipt or amortized into income. Upon the re-payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees are recorded as income.
Payment-in-Kind Interest/Dividends
The Company holds debt and equity investments in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and dividend provisions. The PIK interest and PIK dividend, which represent contractually deferred interest or dividends that add to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, are generally recorded on the accrual basis.
Non-accrual income
Investments may be placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest/dividend payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest which may include un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual investments

may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non- accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current.
Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method. 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, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes in respect of each taxable year if it distributes dividends for federal income tax purposes to stockholders of an amount generally equal to at least 90% of ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to twelve months after the previous tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year in determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its ability to be subject to be taxed as a RIC each year. The Company may be subject to federal excise tax imposed at a rate of 4% on certain undistributed amounts. See Note 13 - Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders for additional information.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
In August 2018, the SEC released its Final Rule on Disclosure Update and Simplification (the “Final Rule”) which is intended to simplify an issuer’s disclosure compliance efforts by removing redundant or outdated disclosure requirements without significantly altering the mix of information provided to investors. The Company has adopted the Final Rule in the current reporting period with the most notable impacts being that the Company is no longer required to present the components of distributable earnings on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities or the sources of distributions to shareholders and the amount of undistributed net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
New Standards Pending
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”) which introduces new fair value disclosure requirements as well as eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-13 on its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s fair value measurements are classified into a fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, if any, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
44
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)
For the period ended March 31, 2019
(Unaudited)
• | Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
• | Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability. |
• | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques. |
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter.
For investments for which Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices, were not available at March 31, 2019, the investments were valued at fair value as determined in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the board of directors using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company's investments are trading, in determining fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the estimate of fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio at March 31, 2019 may differ materially from values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.
In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the valuation policy approved by the board of directors. Portfolio investments are reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis the Company performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as described below.
Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, the Company uses the quote obtained.
Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. 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 amounts (for example, 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 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, 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, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.
For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company measures the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC Topic 946, as of the Company's measurement date.
For investments in Collateralized Securities, the Adviser models both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure. The model uses a waterfall engine to store the collateral data, generate cash flows from the assets, and distribute the cash flows to the liability structure based on priority of payments. The cash flows are discounted using rates that incorporate risk factors such as default risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk, among others. In addition, the Adviser considers broker quotations and/or comparable trade activity is considered as an input to determining fair value when available.

As part of the Company's quarterly valuation process, the Adviser may be assisted by one or more independent valuation firms engaged by the Company. The board of directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and the independent valuation firm(s) (to the extent applicable).
Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to the consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements
Investment Advisory Agreement
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and for the investment advisory and management services provided thereunder, the Company pays the Adviser a base management fee and an incentive fee.
Prior to February 1, 2019, the Company's Adviser provided investment advisory and management services under the investment advisory and management services agreement, effective November 1, 2016 (the “Prior Investment Advisory Agreement”), and most recently re-approved by the Board in August 2018. The terms of the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement were materially identical to the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Prior Investment Advisory Agreement automatically terminated on February 1, 2019 upon the indirect change of control of the Adviser on the consummation of Franklin Resources, Inc.’s (“FRI”) and Templeton International, Inc.’s (collectively with FRI, “Franklin Templeton”) acquisition of BSP (the “FT Transaction”). The Investment Advisory Agreement was approved by the Board, including a majority of independent directors, on October 22, 2018, and by stockholders at a special meeting held on January 11, 2019 and took effect February 1, 2019.
Base Management Fee
The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of the Company’s average gross assets. The Company’s gross assets increase or decrease with any appreciation or depreciation associated with a derivative contract. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. Average gross assets is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter may be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Adviser will determine within three years. The base management fee for any partial month or quarter is appropriately pro-rated.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $9.4 million and $9.7 million was payable to the Adviser for base management fees, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred $9.4 million and $10.0 million, respectively, in base management fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Incentive Fees
The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part is referred to as the incentive fee on income and it is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter. “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, other than fees for providing managerial assistance, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives 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 administration agreement and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The payment of the incentive fee on income shall be subject to payment of a preferred return to investors each quarter, expressed as a quarterly rate of return on the value of the Company's net assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, of 1.75% (7.00% annualized), subject to a “catch up” feature (as described below). The calculation of the incentive fee on income for each quarter is as follows:
• | No incentive fee on income shall be payable to the Adviser in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the preferred return rate of 1.75% or 7.00% annualized (the “Preferred Return”) on net assets; |
• | 100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the preferred return but is less than or equal to 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) shall be payable to the Adviser. This portion of the Company’s incentive fee on income is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 2.1875% (8.75% annualized) in any calendar quarter; and |
• | For any quarter in which the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.1875% (8.75% annualized), the incentive fee on income shall equal 20% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as the Preferred Return and catch-up will have been achieved. |
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $8.2 million and $5.7 million was payable to the Adviser for the incentive fee on income, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred $6.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively, in incentive fees on income under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
The second part of the incentive fee, referred to as the “incentive fee on capital gains during operations,” shall be an incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments from the portfolio during operations prior to the Company’s liquidation and shall be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, if earlier). This fee shall equal 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which shall equal the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees.
Administration Agreement
In connection with the Administration Agreement, BSP provides the Company with office facilities and administrative services. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $1.3 million and $0.7 million was payable to BSP under the Administration Agreement, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in administrative service fees under the Administration Agreement.

Co-Investment Relief
The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from entering into negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC. The SEC staff has granted the Company exemptive relief that allows it to enter into certain negotiated co-investment transactions alongside with other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates (“Affiliated Funds”) in a manner consistent with its 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 its affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of its eligible 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 the Company's stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Company or the Company's 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 the Company’s investment objective and strategies.
Triangle Transaction
On April 3, 2018, BSP, through its affiliate BSP TCAP Acquisition Holdings LP (the “Acquisition Entity”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Triangle Capital Corporation (“Triangle”) under which certain funds advised by BSP agreed to acquire Triangle’s Investment Portfolio (the “Triangle Portfolio”) for $981.2 million in cash, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the APA (the “Triangle Transaction”). The Adviser is an affiliate of BSP, and the Company participated in the Triangle Transaction by purchasing a portion of the Triangle Portfolio, facilitated through the Acquisition Entity.
On July 31, 2018, BSP completed the Triangle Transaction. The gross cash proceeds paid to Triangle were approximately $793.3 million, after adjustments to take into account portfolio activity and other matters occurring since December 31, 2017. In accordance with BSP’s allocation policy, the Company acquired approximately 24% of the assets in the Triangle Portfolio for an aggregate purchase price of $188.1 million. The final allocation of the investments in the Triangle Portfolio by BSP was based on a number of factors, including, among others, the Company’s available capital at the time of allocation, changes in the composition of the Triangle Portfolio between the signing of the APA and the closing of the Triangle Transaction, the suitability of the investments in Triangle’s Portfolio for the Company as compared to the other funds managed by BSP, regulatory guidance regarding the allocation of certain Triangle Portfolio assets between funds managed by BSP and changes in the relative size of the funds managed by BSP.
Private Placement in connection with FT Transaction
In connection with the FT Transaction, on November 1, 2018, the Company issued approximately 6.1 million and 4.9 million shares of the Company's common stock to FRI and BSP, respectively, at a purchase price of $8.20 per share in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Offering Costs
The Company incurs certain costs in connection with the registration of shares of its common stock. Offering costs principally relate to professional fees, printing costs, direct marketing expenses, due diligence costs, fees paid to regulators and other expenses, including the salaries and/or expenses of the Adviser and its affiliates engaged in registering and marketing the Company’s common stock. Such allocated expenses of the Adviser and its affiliates may include the development of marketing materials and presentations, training and educational meetings, and generally coordinating the marketing process for the Company. The Company incurred no offering costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Other Affiliated Parties
The Adviser is the investment adviser of BDCA. The Adviser is an affiliate of BSP, an SEC registered investment adviser. The Adviser and BSP are under common control. Prior to the consummation of the FT Transaction on February 1, 2019, the Adviser was affiliated and under common control with Providence Equity Capital Markets L.L.C. (“PECM”), an SEC registered investment adviser on the BSP platform. The Adviser was affiliated and under common control with Providence Equity Partners L.L.C. (“PEP”), an SEC registered investment adviser. PEP is a global private equity investment adviser and maintains an information barrier between itself and the Adviser, BSP and PECM. The Adviser was affiliated and under common control with Merganser Capital Management, LLC (“Merganser”), an SEC registered investment adviser. BSP, the Adviser, PECM, Merganser and PEP’s respective Form ADV’s are publicly available for review on the SEC Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website.

The Wells Fargo Credit Facility is priced at the one-month maturity LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, plus a spread ranging between 1.65% and 2.50% per annum, depending on the composition of the portfolio of loans owned by Funding I for the relevant period. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Funding I is subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility has not been borrowed. The non-usage fee for the three months from the most recent amendment is 0.50% on any principal amount unused. After the three months from the most recent amendment, the non-usage fee per annum is 0.50% for the first 25% of the unused balance and 2.0% for the portion of the unused balance that exceeds 25%.
Borrowings under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a borrowing base, pursuant to which the amount of funds advanced to Funding I varies depending upon the types of loans in Funding I's portfolio.

The Wells Fargo Credit Facility contains customary default provisions for facilities of this type pursuant to which Wells Fargo may terminate the rights, obligations, power and authority of the Company, in its capacity as servicer of the portfolio assets under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, including, but not limited to, non-performance of Wells Fargo Credit Facility obligations, insolvency, defaults of certain financial covenants and other events with respect to the Company that may be adverse to Wells Fargo and the secured parties under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, Wells Fargo may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility immediately due and payable. During the continuation of an event of default, Funding I must pay interest at a default rate.
On April 6, 2018, the Company borrowed $90.6 million under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility and used such proceeds, together with cash on hand, to repay at maturity the debt financing facility that it had entered into with UBS AG, London Branch through a wholly-owned special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, BDCA Helvetica Funding, Ltd.

2020 Notes
On August 26, 2015, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with the initial purchasers, relating to the Company’s sale of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% fixed rate senior notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) to the initial purchasers in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and for initial resale by the initial purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act . The Company relied upon these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the initial purchasers. The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the initial purchasers against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The 2020 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2020 Notes was approximately $97.9 million, after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions of approximately $1.6 million payable by the Company and estimated offering expenses of approximately $0.5 million payable by the Company. The Company used the net proceeds to make investments in accordance with the Company’s investment objectives and for general corporate purposes.
The 2020 Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of August 31, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee. The 2020 Notes will mature on September 1, 2020 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time, or from time to time, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. The 2020 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per year payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2016. The 2020 Notes will be general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior liabilities that are not so subordinated, effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities, including credit facilities held by the Company’s wholly owned, special purpose financing subsidiaries.
The Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to: (i) comply with the asset coverage requirements of Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act as in effect immediately prior to the issuance of the 2020 Notes, whether or not the Company is subject to such provisions; (ii) provide financial information to the holders of the 2020 Notes and the Trustee if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (iii) maintain total unencumbered assets, as defined in the Indenture, of at least 175% of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Company and the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries’ outstanding unsecured debt determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture.

On December 14, 2017, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “2022 Notes Purchase Agreement”) with Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P (the “Initial Purchaser”) relating to the Company's sale of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% fixed rate notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) to the Initial Purchaser in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and for initial resale by the Initial Purchaser to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and to institutional accredited investors under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act. The Company relied upon these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the Initial Purchaser. The 2022 Notes Purchase Agreement also includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. Under the terms of the 2022 Notes Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchaser against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The 2022 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.

The Company used the net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness, to make investments in portfolio companies in accordance with its investment objectives and for general corporate purposes.
The 2022 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of December 19, 2017 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, trustee (the “Trustee”), and a Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 19, 2017 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The 2022 Notes will mature on December 30, 2022, unless repurchased or redeemed in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.75% per year payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on June 30, 2018. The 2022 Notes will be general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company's existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2022 Notes. The 2022 Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future senior liabilities that are not so subordinated, effectively junior to any of the Company's secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness incurred by the Company's subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities, including credit facilities entered into by the Company's wholly owned, special purpose financing subsidiaries.
The Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to (i) comply with the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act, whether or not it is subject to those requirements, and (ii) provide financial information to the holders of the 2022 Notes and the Trustee if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture.
In addition, if a change of control repurchase event, as defined in the Indenture, occurs prior to maturity, holders of the 2022 Notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash some or all of the 2022 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

2023 Notes
On May 11, 2018, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “2023 Notes Purchase Agreement”) with the Initial Purchaser relating to the Company’s sale of $60 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% fixed rate notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) to the Initial Purchaser in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and for initial resale by the Initial Purchaser to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and to institutional accredited investors under Rule 501 (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act. The Company relied upon these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the Initial Purchaser. The 2023 Notes Purchase Agreement also includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. Under the terms of the 2023 Notes Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchaser against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2023 Notes were approximately $58.7 million, after deducting an offering price discount of approximately $0.3 million, as well as Initial Purchaser’s discounts and commissions of approximately $0.6 million and estimated offering expenses of approximately $0.4 million, each payable by the Company. The Company used the net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness, to make investments in portfolio companies in accordance with its investment objectives and for general corporate purposes. The 2023 Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture between the Company and The Trustee, and a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 16, 2018, between the Company and the Trustee. The 2023 Notes will mature on May 30, 2023, unless repurchased or redeemed in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2023 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.375% per year payable semi-annually on May 30 and November 30 of each year, commencing on November 30, 2018. The 2023 Notes will be general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2023 Notes. The 2023 Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior liabilities that are not so subordinated, effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities, including credit facilities entered into by the Company’s wholly owned, special purpose financing subsidiaries. The Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to (i) comply with the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act, whether or not it is subject to those requirements, and (ii) provide financial information to the holders of the 2023 Notes and the Trustee if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture. In addition, if a change of control repurchase event, as defined in the Indenture, occurs prior to maturity, holders of the 2023 Notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash some or all of the 2023 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
JP Morgan Securities LLC Prime Brokerage Account
On January 20, 2017, the Company entered into a prime brokerage account agreement with JP Morgan Securities LLC (the “JPMC PB Account”). The JPMC PB Account provides a full suite of services around the custody of bonds and equities and also access to leverage, which is dependent on the price, credit quality and diversity of the pool of assets held within the account. The borrowing availability is recalculated daily based on changes to the assets, with margin calls issued in the morning as appropriate. The cost to borrow is 1 week LIBOR + 90 bps and there is no mandatory usage or period wherein the debt needs to be repaid.
On May 8, 2018 the Company fully repaid its borrowings under the JPMC PB Account and closed the account.
The weighted average annualized interest cost for all borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was 4.83% and 4.36%, respectively. The average daily debt outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $958.8 million and $1.1 billion, respectively. The maximum debt outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, due to affiliates and accounts payable approximate their carrying value on the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the Company's 2020 Notes, 2022 Notes, and 2023 Notes are derived from market indications provided by Bloomberg Finance L.P. at March 31, 2019. The fair value of the Company's 2020 Notes, 2022 Notes, and 2023 Notes are derived from market indications provided by Bloomberg Finance L.P. at December 31, 2018.
At March 31, 2019, the carrying amount of the Company's secured borrowings approximated their fair value. The fair values of the Company's debt obligations 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 borrowings is estimated based upon market interest rates for the Company's own borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company's borrowings would be deemed to be Level 3, as defined in Note 3.

Note 6 — Derivatives
Foreign Currency
The Company may enter into forward foreign currency contracts from time to time to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies or to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company's investments denominated in foreign currencies. A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date (usually the security transaction settlement date) at a negotiated forward rate. These contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market rate as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled. The Company's forward foreign currency contracts generally have terms of approximately three months. The volume of open contracts at the end of each reporting period is reflective of the typical volume of transactions during each calendar quarter. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company attempts to limit this risk by dealing with creditworthy counterparties.
At March 31, 2019, the forward foreign currency contract was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The derivative held at period end was not subject to a master netting arrangement or other similar agreement.
Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into future funding commitments. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $13.9 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $23.4 million and unfunded equity capital commitments of $2.1 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $15.2 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $21.1 million and unfunded equity capital commitments of $0.5 million. The unfunded commitments are disclosed in the Company's consolidated schedule of investments. The Company maintains sufficient cash on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments.
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation, claims and regulatory matters. The Company has no knowledge of material legal or regulatory proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company at this time.

Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. Future events could occur that lead to the execution of these provisions against the Company. Based on its history and experience, management feels that the likelihood of such an event is remote.
Guarantees
The Company has provided a non-recourse carveout guarantee to its controlled portfolio company, Park Ave RE Holdings, LLC, in connection with a secured loan. Although the loan is generally non-recourse in nature, the Company will nevertheless be responsible for liabilities of the portfolio company upon the occurrence of certain events deemed carveouts to such non-recourse nature (including fraud or misrepresentation, bankruptcy, misapplication of funds, and distributions or incurrence of additional indebtedness in violation of the terms of the loan).
Park Ave RE, Inc. through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (including Park Ave RE Holdings, LLC), is in the business of purchasing commercial properties from owner-operators and leasing the properties back to the original owners under long term leasing arrangements.
Note 8 — Economic Dependency
Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage the Adviser and its affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services and investor relations.
As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon the Adviser and its affiliates. In the event that these companies were unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company would be required to find alternative providers of these services.
Note 9 — Common Stock
On August 25, 2011, the Company had raised sufficient funds to break escrow on its IPO. On July 1, 2014, the Company's registration statement on Form N-2 (File No.333-193241) for its Follow-on was declared effective by the SEC. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of the registration statement of the Follow-on, the Company's IPO terminated. Through March 31, 2019, the Company sold 212.6 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $2.2 billion, including the shares purchased by an affiliate of BSP and shares issued under the Company's DRIP. Following the time the Company's updated registration statement was declared effective on June 30, 2015, the Company issued shares for subscription agreements that had been accepted through that date. From inception of the Company's DRIP plan to March 31, 2019, the Company had repurchased 23.4 million shares of common stock through its share repurchase program for payments of $204.3 million.

Note 10 — Share Repurchase Program
The Company intends to conduct semi-annual tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program (“SRP”). The Company’s board of directors considers the following factors in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:
•the effect of such repurchases on the Company's qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of
any necessary asset sales);
•the liquidity of the Company's assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);
•the Company's investment plans and working capital requirements;
•the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company's size;
•the Company's history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof;
•the condition of the securities markets.

(Unaudited)
On March 8, 2016, the Company's board of directors amended the Company's SRP. The Company intends to conduct tender offers on a semi-annual basis, instead of on a quarterly basis as was done previously. The Company intends to continue to limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to 10% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 5.0% at each semi-annual tender offer. In addition, in the event of a stockholder’s death or disability, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accept up to the full amount tendered by such stockholder of the current net asset value per share. Any repurchases of shares made in connection with a stockholder’s death or disability may be included within the overall limitation imposed on tender offers during the relevant redemption period, which provides that the Company may limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any redemption period to the number of shares of common stock the Company is able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during such redemption period. The Company's six most recent tender offers were oversubscribed.

Note 12 — Distributions
The Company’s board of directors has authorized, and has declared, cash distributions payable on a monthly basis to stockholders of record on each day since it commenced operations. From November 2013 until July 2017, the distribution rate has been $0.002378082 per day, which is equivalent to $0.868 per annum, per share of common stock, except for 2016 where the daily distribution rate was $0.002371585 per day to accurately reflect 2016 being a leap year. In July 2017, the board of directors reduced the distribution rate with respect to the Company's cash distributions to $0.001780822 per day, which is equivalent to $0.65 annually, per share of common stock.
The amount of each such distribution is subject to the discretion of the board of directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. The Company calculates each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the month using record and declaration dates and accrues distributions on the date the Company accepts a subscription for shares of the Company’s common stock. The distributions are payable by the fifth day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month.
From time to time, the Company may also pay interim distributions at the discretion of its board of directors. The Company may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to it, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets. The Company’s distributions may exceed its earnings, and as a result, a portion of the distributions the Company will make may represent a return of capital for tax purposes. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had accrued $10.4 million in stockholder distributions that were unpaid. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued $10.5 million in stockholder distributions that were unpaid.

The Company has not established any limit on the extent to which it may use borrowings, if any, or proceeds from its IPO and Follow-on to fund distributions (which may reduce the amount of capital it ultimately invests in assets). There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain distributions at any particular level.
Note 13 — Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders
The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it meets, certain quarterly asset diversification requirements, annual income tests, and distributes to stockholders its ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, each taxable year. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to one year after the previous tax year can be carried back

to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its RIC status each year. The Company may also be subject to federal excise taxes of 4%.
A RIC is limited in its ability to deduct expenses in excess of its “investment company taxable income” (which is, generally, ordinary income plus net realized short-term capital gains in excess of net realized long-term capital losses). If the Company's expenses in a given taxable year exceed gross taxable income (e.g., as the result of large amounts of equity-based compensation), it would incur a net operating loss for that year. However, a RIC is not permitted to carry forward net operating losses to subsequent taxable years and such net operating losses do not pass through to the RIC’s stockholders. In addition, deductible expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain. A RIC may not use any net capital losses (that is, realized capital losses in excess of realized capital gains) to offset the RIC’s investment company taxable income, but may carry forward such net capital losses, and use them to offset capital gains indefinitely. Due to these limits on the deductibility of expenses and net capital losses, the Company may for tax purposes have aggregate taxable income for several taxable years that it is required to distribute and that is taxable to stockholders even if such taxable income is greater than the aggregate net income the Company actually earned during those taxable years. Such required distributions may be made from the Company cash assets or by liquidation of investments, if necessary. The Company may realize gains or losses from such liquidations. In the event the Company realizes net capital gains from such transactions, the Company may receive a larger capital gain distribution than it would have received in the absence of such transactions.
Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, for excise tax purposes the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and incur a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.
The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”), nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company's 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015 federal tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $1.3 million and a deferred tax liability of $(4.6) million. Given the losses generated by certain entities, deferred tax assets have been offset by valuation allowances of $1.3 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $1.3 million and a deferred tax liability of $(4.1) million. Given the losses generated by certain entities, deferred tax assets have been offset by valuation allowances of $1.3 million.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“the Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act reduced the statutory income tax rate applicable to corporations from 35 percent to 21 percent. This change affected the Company’s estimates of the current income tax expense and the deferred tax asset and liability balances used in the calculation of its net asset value. The Company has assessed that the reduction in the corporate tax rate did not have a significant impact on the Company’s net asset value. The Company will continue to assess the effects of the Tax Act on the deferred tax asset and liability balances and valuation allowances and continually assess the recoverability of their deferred tax assets based upon the weight of available evidence.
The deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been determined pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, including the Company's estimation of future taxable income, if necessary, and is adequate to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

Overview
We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company incorporated in Maryland in May 2010 that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“the 1940 Act”). In addition, we have elected to be treated for tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Our investment activities are managed by the Adviser, a subsidiary of Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. (“BSP”) and supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent of the Adviser and its affiliates. As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements.
76
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and to a lesser extent long-term capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle-market companies. We define middle market companies as those with annual revenues of less than $1 billion, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We may also purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions. We expect that each investment generally will range between approximately 0.5% and 3.0% of our total assets. As of March 31, 2019, 79.9% of our portfolio was invested in senior secured loans.
Senior secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt and equity in priority of payments and are generally secured by liens on the operating assets of a borrower which may include inventory, receivables, plant, property and equipment. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior loans and is generally unsecured. We may also invest in the equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation investment vehicles (“Collateralized Securities” or “CLO's”).

Portfolio Asset Quality
Our Adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Adviser grades the credit risk of all debt investments on a scale of 1 to 5 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio debt investment relative to the inherent risk at the time the original debt investment was made (i.e., at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company's business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors.
Loan Rating | Summary Description | |
1 | Debt investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since the time of investment are favorable. | |
2 | Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable. All investments are initially rated a “2”. | |
3 | Performing debt investment requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration. | |
4 | Underperforming debt investment. Some loss of interest or dividend expected, but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative. | |
5 | Underperforming debt investment with expected loss of interest and some principal. |
The weighted average risk ratings of our investments based on fair value was 2.32 and 2.23 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, we had eight portfolio companies, which represented fifteen investments, on non-accrual status with a total principal amount of $177.5 million, amortized cost of $119.0 million, and fair value of $46.5 million which represented 5.6%, 4.5% and 1.8% of the investment portfolio's total principal, amortized cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, we had eight portfolio companies, which represented fourteen portfolio investments, on non-accrual status with a total principal amount of $171.4 million, amortized cost of $117.4 million, and fair value of $43.8 million, which represented 5.7%, 4.7% and 1.9% of the investment portfolio's total principal, amortized cost and fair value, respectively. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - in our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional details regarding our non-accrual policy.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||
2019 | 2018 | ||||||
Total investment income | $ | 61,101 | $ | 58,504 | |||

Included within total investment income was $1.0 million of fee income for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Fee income consists primarily of prepayment and amendment fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, total investment income was $58.5 million and was primarily attributable to interest income from investments in portfolio companies with an average portfolio fair value of $2.6 billion and a weighted average current yield of 9.2%.

Operating Expenses
The composition of our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows (dollars in thousands):
For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||
2019 | 2018 | ||||||
Management fees | $ | 9,433 | $ | 9,955 | |||
Incentive fee on income | 6,791 | 4,611 | |||||
Interest and debt fees | 13,258 | 13,450 | |||||

Directors' fees | 234 | 273 | |||||
Total operating expenses | $ | 33,473 | $ | 32,085 |
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred $9.4 million of management fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred $6.8 million of incentive fees on income. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we incurred $10.0 million of management fees. For the year ended March 31, 2018, we incurred $4.6 million of incentive fees on income.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we incurred interest and debt fees of $13.3 million and $13.5 million, respectively. Interest and debt fees are comprised of interest expense, non-usage fees, trustee fees, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of discount if applicable related to the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, Citi Credit Facility, UBS Credit Facility, 2023 Notes, 2022 Notes, 2020 Notes and the JPMC PB Account, each as defined herein in the section entitled "Borrowings". The decrease in debt fees for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 is a result of a decrease in average debt outstanding, under the Company’s Credit Facilities, offset by an increase in LIBOR rates.
Net Realized Gain (Loss) and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments, foreign currency transactions and forward currency exchange contracts
Net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currency transactions, net of deferred taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||

Net change in unrealized depreciation from forward currency exchange contracts | (1,035 | ) | — | ||||
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) | $ | 28,668 | $ | (4,178 | ) |
80
Net realized and unrealized gain on investments and foreign currency transactions, net of deferred taxes, resulted in a net gain of $28.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to a net loss of $(4.2) million, for the same period in 2018. We look at net realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) together, as movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of realizations.
The net realized and unrealized loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily driven by unrealized appreciation on our Level II Senior Secured investments and CLOs, partially offset by realized losses on our Senior Secured Notes investments. The net realized and unrealized loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was the result of approximately $30.0 million of realized loss on CLOs as a result of the Company's assessment for other than temporary impairment ("OTTI") in accordance with ASC 325-40. As this OTTI was previously reserved for as part of unrealized depreciation on CLOs, the movement between unrealized and realized gain (loss) during the period relates to the approximately $30.0 million realization and the offsetting reversal of approximately $30.0 million of previously reported unrealized depreciation of approximately $30.0 million. The remaining loss was driven by unrealized depreciation on investments.
Changes in Net Assets from Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $55.8 million versus a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $22.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to greater unrealized gains on our investments. Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.29 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, versus a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $0.12 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Cash Flows
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $106.8 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, redemptions and sales of portfolio investments. The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily a result of purchases of investments of $283.0 million, offset by sales and repayments of investments of $122.8 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $88.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily related to proceeds from debt of $128.0 million, which was partially offset by repurchases of common stock of $18.4 million and payments of stockholder distributions of $21.6 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $117.1 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, redemptions and sales of portfolio investments. The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily result of purchases of investments of $284.4 million, offset by sales and repayments of investments of $160.6 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $91.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily related to net proceeds from the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, Citi Credit Facility, and the JPMC PB Account of $132.9 million partially offset by net repurchases of common stock of $22.2 million and payments of stockholder distributions of $18.6 million.
Recent Developments
Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) Sales
From April 1, 2019 through the filing of this Form 10-Q, we issued 0.78 million shares of common stock including shares issued pursuant to the DRIP. Total gross proceeds from these issuances including proceeds from shares issued pursuant to the DRIP were $6.1 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate cash flows from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments, as well as proceeds from sales of our investments and, previously, from the net proceeds of our Offering. As of March 31, 2019, we had issued 212.6 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $2.2 billion, including the shares purchased by affiliates and shares issued pursuant to the DRIP.
Our principal demands for funds in both the short-term and long-term are for portfolio investments, for the payment of operating expenses, distributions to our investors, repurchases under our share repurchase program, and for the payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. We may also from time to time enter into other agreements with third parties whereby third parties will contribute to specific investment opportunities. Other potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from private offerings, proceeds from the sale of investments and undistributed funds from operations. However, our ability to incur additional debt will be dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders.
81
We intend to conduct semi-annual tender offers pursuant to our share repurchase program. Our board of directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause us to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:
• | the effect of such repurchases on our qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales); |
• | the liquidity of our assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets); |
• | our investment plans and working capital requirements; |
• | the relative economies of scale with respect to our size; |
• | our history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof; and |
• | the condition of the securities markets. |
We intend to conduct tender offers on a semi-annual basis, instead of on a quarterly basis as was done previously. We intend to continue to limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to 10% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 5.0% at each semi-annual tender offer. In addition, in the event of a stockholder’s death or disability, any repurchases of shares made in connection with a stockholder’s death or disability may be included within the overall limitation imposed on tender offers during the relevant redemption period, which provides that we may limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any redemption period to the number of shares of common stock we are able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during such redemption period.
Distributions
Our board of directors has authorized, and has declared, cash distributions payable on a monthly basis to stockholders of record on each day since it commenced operations. From November 2013 until July 2017, the distribution rate has been $0.002378082 per day, which is equivalent to $0.868 per annum, per share of common stock, except for 2016, where the daily distribution rate was $0.002371585 per day to accurately reflect 2016 being a leap year. In July 2017, the board of directors reduced the distribution rate with respect to our cash distributions to $0.001780822 per day, which is equivalent to $0.65 annually, per share of common stock.
The amount of each such distribution is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. We calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the month using record and declaration dates and accrue distributions on the date we accept a subscription for shares of our common stock. The distributions are payable by the fifth day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month.
From time to time, we may also pay interim distributions at the discretion of our board of directors. Our distributions may exceed our earnings, and as a result, a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital for tax purposes.
The table below shows the components of the distributions we have declared and/or paid during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands).
For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||
2019 | 2018 | ||||||
Distributions declared | $ | 30,441 | $ | 28,727 | |||
Distributions paid | $ | 30,504 | $ | 28,807 | |||
Portion of distributions paid in cash | $ | 21,588 | $ | 18,640 | |||
Portion of distributions paid in DRIP shares | $ | 8,916 | $ | 10,167 |
As of March 31, 2019, we had $10.4 million of distributions accrued and unpaid. As of December 31, 2018, we had $10.5 million of distributions accrued and unpaid.
We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to us, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. We may have distributions which could be characterized as a return of capital for tax purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, no portion of our distributions was characterized as return of capital for tax purposes. The specific tax characteristics of our distributions made in respect of our anticipated fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 will be reported to stockholders shortly after the end of the calendar year 2019 as well as in our periodic reports with the SEC. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our ordinary income or gains. Moreover, you should understand that any such distributions were not based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods
82
and/or our Adviser continues to make such reimbursements. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the performance necessary to sustain our distributions or that we will be able to pay distributions at all.
The following table sets forth the distributions made during the months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Taxation as a RIC
We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code commencing with our tax year ended December 31, 2011 and intend to maintain our qualification as a RIC thereafter. As a RIC, we generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that we distribute as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to our stockholders. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, in order to maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each tax year, an amount equal to at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gain over realized net long-term capital loss and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, or the annual distribution requirement. Even if we qualify as a RIC, we generally will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed taxable income and could be subject to state, local and foreign taxes.
Additionally, in order to avoid the imposition of a U.S. federal excise tax, we are required to distribute, in respect of each calendar year, dividends to our stockholders of an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of our calendar year net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections); 98.2% of our capital gain net income (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the one year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year; and any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding calendar years that were not distributed during such calendar years and on which we previously did not incur any U.S. federal income tax. If we fail to qualify as a RIC for any reason and become subject to corporate tax, the resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions. Such a failure would have a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders. In addition, we could be required to recognize unrealized gains, incur substantial taxes and interest and make substantial distributions in order to re-qualify as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions.
Related Party Transactions and Agreements
Triangle Transaction
On April 3, 2018, BSP, through the Acquisition Entity, entered into an APA with Triangle under which certain funds advised by BSP agreed to acquire the Triangle Portfolio for $981.2 million in cash, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the APA in the Triangle Transaction. Our Adviser is an affiliate of BSP, and we participated in the Triangle Transaction by purchasing a portion of the Triangle Portfolio, facilitated through the Acquisition Entity.
On July 31, 2018, BSP completed the Triangle Transaction. The gross cash proceeds paid to Triangle were approximately $793.3 million, after adjustments to take into account portfolio activity and other matters occurring since December 31, 2017. In accordance with BSP’s allocation policy, we acquired approximately 24% of the assets in the Triangle Portfolio for an aggregate purchase price of $188.1 million. The final allocation of the investments in the Triangle Portfolio by BSP was based on a number of factors, including, among others, our available capital at the time of allocation, changes in the composition of the Triangle Portfolio between the signing of the APA and the closing of the Triangle Transaction, the suitability of the investments in Triangle’s Portfolio for us as compared to the other funds managed by BSP, regulatory guidance regarding the allocation of certain Triangle Portfolio assets between funds managed by BSP and changes in the relative size of the funds managed by BSP.
Private Placement in connection with FT Transaction
In connection with the FT Transaction, on November 1, 2018, we issued approximately 6.1 and 4.9 million shares of our common stock to FRI and BSP, respectively, at a purchase price of $8.20 per share in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. As a result of this issuance, the Company received aggregate cash proceeds of $90.0 million.
On February 1, 2019, Franklin Templeton acquired BSP, including BSP’s 100% ownership interest in our Adviser (the “FT Transaction”). All investment professionals currently managing the Company and its investments, and all members of the BSP’s Investment Committee are expected to maintain their current responsibilities after the FT Transaction.

Investment Advisory Agreement
We entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement as of February 1, 2019 under which the Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to us. The Adviser and its affiliates also provide investment advisory services to other funds that have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. The Adviser and its affiliates serve as investment adviser or sub-adviser to private funds and registered open-end funds, and serves as an investment adviser to a public real estate investment trust. The Adviser’s policies are designed to manage and mitigate the conflicts of interest associated with the allocation of investment opportunities. In addition, any affiliated fund currently formed or formed in the future and managed by the Adviser or its affiliates may have overlapping investment objectives with our own and, accordingly, may invest in asset classes similar to those targeted by us. However, in certain instances due to regulatory, tax, investment, or other restrictions, certain investment opportunities may not be appropriate for either us or other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.
Prior to February 1, 2019, our Adviser provided investment advisory and management services under the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, effective November 1, 2016, and most recently re-approved by the Board in August 2018. The terms of the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement were materially identical to the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Prior Investment Advisory Agreement automatically terminated upon the indirect change of control of the Adviser on the consummation of the FT Transaction.
Administration Agreement
On November 1, 2016, we entered into the Administration Agreement with BSP, pursuant to which BSP provides us with office facilities and administrative services. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon not less than 60 days’ written notice to the other. We paid BSP $0.6 million and $0.7 million in fees under the Administration Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Co-Investment Relief
The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from entering into negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC permitting the BDC to do so. The SEC staff has granted us exemptive relief that allows it to enter into certain negotiated co-investment transactions alongside other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates (“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 (the “Order”). Pursuant to the Order, we are permitted to co-invest with our affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our eligible 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 in respect 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.
Borrowings
We are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, which, as defined in the 1940 Act, measures the ratio of total assets less total liabilities not represented by senior securities to total borrowings, equals at least 200% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. We are continually exploring additional forms of alternative debt financing which could include new or expanded credit facilities or the issuance of debt securities. We may use borrowed funds, known as “leverage,” to make investments and to attempt to increase returns to our stockholders by reducing our overall cost of capital. We currently have credit facilities with Wells Fargo and Citi and have sold $310.0 million in aggregate principal of unsecured notes.
Wells Fargo Credit Facility
On July 24, 2012, the Company, through a wholly-owned, consolidated special purpose financing subsidiary, Funding I, entered into a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian (as amended from time to time, the “Wells Fargo Credit Facility”). The Wells Fargo Credit Facility, which was subsequently amended on January 14, 2013, April 26, 2013, September 9, 2013, June 30, 2014, May 29, 2015, November 4, 2015, January 8, 2016, October 31, 2016, May 18, 2017, April 3, 2018, May 9, 2018, November 8, 2018, December 21, 2018 and March 15, 2019, provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $600.0 million on a committed basis subject to compliance with a borrowing base. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility has a maturity date of May 9, 2023.
The Wells Fargo Credit Facility is priced at the one-month maturity LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, plus a spread ranging between 1.65% and 2.50% per annum, depending on the composition of the portfolio of loans owned by Funding I for the relevant period. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Funding I is subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility has not been borrowed. The non-usage fee for the three months from the most recent amendment is 0.50% on any principal amount unused. After the three months from the most recent amendment, the non-usage fee per annum is 0.50% for the first 25% of the unused balance and 2.0% for the portion of the unused balance that exceeds 25%.
84
In connection with the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, Funding I has made certain representations and warranties, is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities and is subject to certain customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, Wells Fargo may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility immediately due and payable. During the continuation of an event of default, Funding I must pay interest at a default rate.
On November 8, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the Wells Fargo Credit Facility to permit the inclusion of Second Lien Loans as part of the borrowing base, which are not to exceed 10% of the outstanding balance of all Loan Assets (as defined in the Amendment).
On March 15, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Wells Fargo Credit Facility to increase the size of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility from $545.0 to $600.0 million (as defined in the Amendment).
Citi Credit Facility
On June 27, 2014, the Company, through a wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, CB Funding, entered into a credit facility as amended from time to time, (the “Citi Credit Facility”) with Citibank, N.A. as administrative agent and U.S. Bank as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian. The Citi Credit Facility, which was subsequently amended on October 14, 2015, provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400.0 million on a committed basis, subject to the administrative agent’s right to approve the assets acquired by CB Funding and pledged as collateral under the Citi Credit Facility. The Citi Credit Facility was amended on November 28, 2017 to extend the investment period to May 31, 2019. The Citi Credit Facility has a maturity date of May 28, 2020.
The Citi Credit Facility is priced at three month LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, plus a spread of 1.60% per annum through and including the last day of the investment period and 2.00% per annum thereafter. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. CB Funding is subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Citi Credit Facility has not been borrowed. The non-usage fee per annum is 0.50%. Any amounts borrowed under the Citi Credit Facility along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will mature, and will be due and payable, in three years.
UBS Credit Facility
On April 7, 2015, the Company, through a wholly-owned, special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, Helvetica Funding, entered into a debt financing facility with UBS AG, London Branch (“UBS”), pursuant to which $150.0 million has been made available to the Company to fund investments in new securities and for other general corporate purposes (as amended from time to time, the “UBS Credit Facility”). The UBS Credit Facility was subsequently amended on July 10, 2015 to increase the amount of debt available to the Company under the facility from $150.0 million to $210.0 million. On June 6, 2016, the UBS credit facility was again amended to increase the amount of debt available from $210.0 million to $232.5 million. In addition, the amended facility increased the applicable spread over a three-month LIBOR from 3.90% to 4.05% per annum for the relevant period and increased the permissible percentage of second lien loans from 60% to 70%. Pricing under the transaction is based on three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.05% per annum for the relevant period. The maturity date of the UBS Credit Facility was April 7, 2018.
On April 6, 2018, the Company repaid the UBS Credit Facility and all related liens were released.
2020 Notes
On August 26, 2015, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement relating to the Company’s sale of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% fixed rate senior notes due September 1, 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes are subject to customary indemnification provisions and representations, warranties and covenants. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2020 Notes were approximately $97.9 million. The 2020 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per year payable semi-annually.
2022 Notes
On December 14, 2017, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement relating to the Company's sale of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% fixed rate notes due December 30, 2022 (the “2022 Notes”). The 2022 Notes are subject to customary indemnification provisions and representations, warranties and covenants. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2022 Notes was approximately $147.0 million. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.75% per year payable semi-annually.
2023 Notes
On May 11, 2018, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement relating to the Company's sale of $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% fixed rate notes due May 30, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). The 2023 Notes are subject to customary indemnification provisions and representations, warranties and covenants. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2023 Notes was approximately $58.7 million. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.375% per year payable semi-annually.
JP Morgan Securities LLC Prime Brokerage Account
85
On January 20, 2017, the Company entered into a prime brokerage account agreement with JP Morgan Securities LLC (the “JPMC PB Account”). The JPMC PB Account provides a full suite of services around the custody of bonds and equities and also access to leverage, which is dependent on the price, credit quality and diversity of the pool of assets held within the account. The borrowing availability is recalculated daily based on changes to the assets, with margin calls issued in the morning as appropriate. The cost to borrow is 1 week LIBOR + 90 bps and there is no mandatory usage or period wherein the debt needs to be repaid.
On May 8, 2018 the Company fully repaid its borrowings under the JPMC PB Account and closed the account.
See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a more detailed discussion of our borrowings.

(5) | As of March 31, 2019, we had no unused borrowing capacity under the 2020 Notes. |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Commitments
In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into future funding commitments. As of March 31, 2019, we had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $13.9 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $23.4 million and unfunded equity capital commitments of $2.1 million. As of December 31, 2018, we had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $15.2 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $21.1 million and unfunded equity capital commitments of $0.5 million. The unfunded commitments are disclosed in our consolidated schedule of investments. We believe we maintain sufficient cash on hand and available borrowing capacity to fund such unfunded commitments.
Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of notes to consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report, we believe the following accounting policies require the most significant judgment in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
86
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
Portfolio investments are reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis we perform an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as follows:
Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. We may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of our investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, we determine whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, we use the quote obtained.
Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. 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 amounts (for example, 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, 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, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.
For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, we measure the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC 946, as of our measurement date.
For investments in Collateralized Securities, both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure are modeled. The model uses a waterfall engine to store the collateral data, generate collateral cash flows from the assets and distribute the cash flows to the liability structure based on the priority of payments. The waterfall cash flows are discounted using rates that incorporate risk factors such as default risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk, among others. In addition, broker quotations and/or comparable trade activity is considered as an input to determining fair value when available.
As part of our quarterly valuation process the Adviser may be assisted by one or more independent valuation firms engaged by us. The board of directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and the independent valuation firm(s) (to the extent applicable).
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
• | Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by the Adviser, potentially with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by our board of directors; |
• | The independent valuation firm(s), if involved, will conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and |
• | The board of directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser, independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of the board of directors. |
Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in its portfolio, we value substantially all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, as described herein. 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 fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.
Revenue Recognition
Interest Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments.
87
The Company has a number of investments in Collateralized Securities. Interest income from investments in the “equity” class of these Collateralized Securities (in the Company's case, preferred shares or subordinated notes) is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with ASC 325-40-35, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets ("ASC 325-40-35"). The Company monitors the expected cash inflows from its equity investments in Collateralized Securities, including the expected principal repayments. The effective yield is determined and updated quarterly. In accordance with ASC 325-40, investments in CLOs are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"). When the Company determines that a CLO has OTTI, the amortized cost basis of the CLO is written down as of the date of the determination based on events and information evaluated and that write-down is recognized as a realized loss.
Fee Income
Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned, either upfront or amortized into income. Upon the payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees are recorded as income.
Payment-in-Kind Interest/Dividends
We hold debt and equity investments in our portfolio that contain PIK interest and dividend provisions. The PIK interest and PIK dividend, which represent contractually deferred interest or dividends that add to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, are generally recorded on the accrual basis.
Non-accrual income
Investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest/dividend payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current.
Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method. 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, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.
See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of other accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to interest rate fluctuations. Many factors including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes in earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. During the periods covered by this report, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities. We would not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
88
As of March 31, 2019, our debt included variable-rate debt, bearing a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% and fixed rate debt, bearing a weighted average interest rate of 5.27% with a total carrying value (net of deferred financing costs) of $1,013.0 million. The following table quantifies the potential changes in interest income net of interest expense should interest rates increase or decrease by 100 or 200 basis points assuming that our current statement of assets and liabilities was to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate floors, if applicable, are not reflected in the sensitivity analysis below.
Change in Interest Rates | Estimated Percentage Change in Interest Income net of Interest Expense | ||
(-) 200 Basis Points | (15.67 | )% | |
(-) 100 Basis Points | (7.83 | )% | |
Base Interest Rate | — | % | |
(+) 100 Basis Points | 7.83 | % | |
(+) 200 Basis Points | 15.67 | % |
Because we may borrow money to make investments, our net investment income may be dependent on the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of increasing interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were (a) designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and reported in an accurate manner and on a timely basis and the information that we are required to disclose in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to management to permit timely decisions with respect to required disclosure and (b) operating in an effective manner.
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As of March 31, 2019, we were not defendants in any material pending legal proceeding, and no such material proceedings are known to be contemplated. However, from time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under the contracts with our portfolio companies. Third parties may also seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed below and in Part I., “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Regulations governing our operation as a BDC and RIC will affect our ability to raise, and the way in which we raise, additional capital or borrow for investment purposes, which may have a negative effect on our growth.
We may need to access the capital markets periodically to raise cash to fund new investments. We may also issue “senior securities,” including borrowing money from banks or other financial institutions, in amounts such that our asset coverage, as
89
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF AMERICA
defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such incurrence or issuance. Our ability to issue different types of securities is also limited. Compliance with these requirements may unfavorably limit our investment opportunities and reduce our ability compared to other companies to profit from favorable spreads between the rates at which we can borrow and the rates at which we can lend. As a BDC, therefore, we intend to continuously issue equity at a rate more frequent than our privately owned competitors, which may lead to greater stockholder dilution.
Although Congress passed the SBCAA on March 23, 2018, which amended the 1940 Act to permit BDCs to incur increased leverage if certain conditions are met, we do not presently intend to avail ourselves of the increased leverage limits permitted by the SBCAA. If we were to avail ourselves of the increased leverage permitted by the SBCAA, this would effectively allow us to double our leverage, which would increase leverage risk and expenses.
We have incurred leverage to generate capital to make additional investments. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy the asset coverage test under the 1940 Act, which could prohibit us from paying distributions and could prevent us from being subject to tax as a RIC. If we cannot satisfy the asset coverage test, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our debt financing, repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when such sales and repayments may be disadvantageous.
Under the 1940 Act, we generally are prohibited from issuing or selling our common stock at a price per share, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, that is below net asset value per share, which may be a disadvantage as compared to other public companies. We may, however, sell our common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the then-current net asset value of our common stock if (1) our board of directors and independent directors determine that such sale is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, and (2) our stockholders in general, as well as those stockholders that are not affiliated with us approve such sale. In any such case, the price at which our securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price that, in the determination of our board of directors, closely approximates the fair value of such securities.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Repurchases of our common stock pursuant to our tender offer are as follows:
Period | Total Number of Shares Purchased | Average Price per Share | Cumulative Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs | Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (in millions) | |||||||||
