(a)All of the Company's investments, except the investments noted by this footnote, are qualifying assets under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets. Qualifying assets represent 77.4% of the Company's total assets. The significant majority of all investments held are deemed to be illiquid.
(b)Percentages are based on net assets as of September 30, 2021.
(c)The fair value of investments with respect to securities for which market quotations are not readily available is determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors as required by the 1940 Act. Such investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).
(d)All amounts are in thousands except share amounts.
(e)Non-income producing at September 30, 2021.

(k)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.
(l)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 September 30, 2021. 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.

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation
Business Development Corporation of America (the “Company” or "BDCA") 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 ("Board"), 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 February 1, 2019, Franklin Resources, Inc. (“FRI”) and Templeton International, Inc. (collectively with FRI, “Franklin Templeton”) acquired BSP, including BSP’s 100% ownership interest in the Adviser (the “FT Transaction”).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company invested approximately $1,272.0 million in 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 September 30, 2021, the Company held investments in loans it made to investee companies with aggregate principal amounts of $2,109.6 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 September 30, 2021, the Company had issued 231.5 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $2.4 billion including the shares purchased by affiliates and shares issued under the Company's distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). As of September 30, 2021, the Company had repurchased a cumulative 30.8 million shares of common stock through its share repurchase program for payments of $259.2 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 the Small Business Credit Availability Act of 2018 (the “SBCAA”) 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 for 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").
We have also formed and expect to continue to form consolidated subsidiaries (the “Consolidated Holding Companies”). The Company consolidates the following subsidiaries for accounting purposes: BDCA Funding I, LLC (“Funding I”), BDCA 57th Street Funding, LLC ("57th Street"), BDCA Asset Financing, LLC ("BDCA Asset Financing"), 54th Street Equity Holdings, Inc. and the Consolidated Holding Companies. Prior to January 20, 2021, the Company also consolidated BDCA-CB Funding, LLC (“CB Funding”). Refer to Note 3 and Note 5 for more information. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 
Prior to September 30, 2019, in conjunction with the consolidation of subsidiaries, the Company had recognized 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 S.A.R.L. On September 30, 2019, the Company entered an agreement to purchase the third party ownership of Kahala Aviation Holdings LLC, which in turn owns 100% of the equity of Kahala Aviation US, Inc. and Kahala LuxCo S.A.R.L. As a result of this agreement, the company owns 100% of the equity of Kahala Aviation Holdings LLC, Kahala Aviation US, Inc, and Kahala LuxCo S.A.R.L, and therefore no longer recognizes a non-controlling interest in these Consolidated Holding Companies. The Kahala LuxCo S.A.R.L. entity was liquidated in the second quarter of 2020. See Note 9 - Common Stock for detail of the activity attributable to non-controlling interests.
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 consolidated 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, 2021.
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 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. Although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of BDCA Senior Loan Fund, LLC (the "SLF"), the Company does not have sole control over significant actions of the SLF for purposes of the 1940 Act or otherwise, and thus does not consolidate its interest.

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 to be 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 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 and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio 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 and/or does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio 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.
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 September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 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 authorizes and declares cash distributions payable on a quarterly basis to stockholders of record on each record date. 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 quarter using record and declaration dates. The distributions are payable by the fifth day following each record date. 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.
Dividend Income
Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.
Dividend income from SLF is recorded on accrual basis once dividends are declared by the SLF's board of directors. Distributions from SLF are evaluated at the time of distribution to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profit in SLF prior to distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.
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 income 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 may hold debt and equity investments in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and dividend provisions. 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 recorded on accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected.
Non-accrual Income
Investments may be placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 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 Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
Gain or loss on the sale of investments is calculated using the specific identification method. The Company measures realized gain or loss 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 a gain or loss is 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 for the period ended June 30, 2020 and there was no impact to the accompanying financial statements and related disclosures.
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:
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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 the contractual 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.

BDCA Senior Loan Fund, LLC
On January 20, 2021, BDCA and Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (“CCLF”) formed a joint venture, SLF, that invests primarily in senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent may invest in mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle-market companies. SLF was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is not consolidated by either BDCA or CCLF for financial reporting purposes. BDCA provides capital to the SLF in the form of LLC equity interests. As of September 30, 2021, BDCA and CCLF owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. BDCA and CCLF each appoint two members to SLF's four-person board of directors. All material decisions with respect to SLF, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of directors. Quorum is defined as (i) the presence of two members of the board of directors; provided that at least one individual is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each member; (ii) the presence of three members of the board of directors; provided that the individual that was elected, designated or appointed by the member with only one individual present shall be entitled to cast two votes on each matter; and (iii) the presence of four members of the board of directors; provided that two individuals are present that were elected, designated or appointed by each member.
As part of the initial contribution to SLF, BDCA contributed $751.8 million of assets including $664.2 million of investments and $42.4 million of cash as well as $446.9 million worth of liabilities including the Citi Credit Facility (as defined in Note 5) debt of $344.4 million in exchange for $304.9 million of equity in SLF. As of September 30, 2021 BDCA’s investment in SLF consisted of equity contributions of $304.9 million. BDCA’s investment in SLF is classified as “Equity/Other” on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, and other disclosure unless otherwise indicated. Subsequent to the initial contribution, BDCA may sell investments to SLF. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, BDCA had sold $172.1 million of investments to SLF. As of September 30, 2021, $6.0 million of accounts payable relates to investments sold by BDCA to SLF, which is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of September 30, 2021, SLF had total assets of $1,147.0 million. SLF's portfolio consisted of debt investments in 170 portfolio companies as of September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, SLF's largest investment in a single portfolio company was $19.9 million in aggregate principal; and the five largest investments in portfolio companies in the SLF totaled $96.3 million. SLF invests in portfolio companies in the same industries in which BDCA may directly invest.

Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category include investments in privately held entities where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

The income and market approaches were used in the determination of fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The significant unobservable inputs used in the income approach are the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. An increase in the discount rate or market yield would result in a decrease in the fair value. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates is risk of default, rating of the investment, call provisions and comparable company investments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the market approach are based on market comparable transactions and market multiples of publicly traded comparable companies. Increases or decreases in market comparable transactions or market multiples would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value.
Valuations of loans, corporate debt, and other debt obligations are generally based on discounted cash flow techniques, for which the significant inputs are the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, market yields and recovery assumptions. The significant inputs are generally determined based on relative value analysis, which incorporate comparisons to other debt instruments for which observable prices or broker quotes are available. Other valuation methodologies are used as appropriate including market comparables, transactions in similar instruments and recovery/liquidation analysis. The Company also considers the use of EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples, tangible net asset value multiples, TBV multiples, and other relevant multiples on its debt and equity investments to determine any credit gains or losses in certain instances. Increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the respective subject instrument.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had seven portfolio companies on non-accrual with a total amortized cost of $66.4 million and fair value of $24.6 million, which represented 2.6% and 1.0% of the investment portfolio's total amortized cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had eleven portfolio companies on non-accrual with a total amortized cost of $104.1 million and fair value of $55.4 million, which represented 3.8%, and 2.1% of the investment portfolio's total amortized cost and fair value, respectively. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - for additional details regarding the Company’s non-accrual policy.
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 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 Templeton's acquisition of BSP. 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. The Board renewed the Investment Advisory Agreement on January 21, 2021.
Base Management Fee
The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of the Company's average gross assets (including assets purchased with borrowed funds). The Company's gross assets increase or decrease with any appreciation or depreciation associated with a derivative contract. 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. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is appropriately pro-rated for any partial month or quarter. 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.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $10.1 million and $9.6 million was payable to the Adviser for base management fees, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $10.0 million and $29.0 million, respectively, in base management fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $8.9 million and $28.3 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 or losses, or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The payment of the incentive fee on income is 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 will 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) will 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 will be equal to 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $7.4 million and $6.2 million was payable to the Adviser for the incentive fee on income, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $6.7 million and $20.2 million, respectively, in incentive fees on income under the Investment Advisory Agreement. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not incur 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,” is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments from the portfolio during operations prior to the Company’s liquidation and is 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 equals 20% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals 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. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not incur incentive fees on capital gains during operations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Administration Agreement
In connection with the Administration Agreement, BSP provides the Company with office facilities and administrative services. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $1.3 million and $0.5 million was payable to BSP under the Administration Agreement, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in administrative service fees under the Administration Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $0.6 million and $1.4 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.    
Note 5 — Borrowings
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 “Existing Wells Fargo Credit Facility”). The Existing Wells Fargo Credit Facility was amended on July 7, 2020 (the "July 7th Amendment") to decrease the total aggregate principal amount of borrowings from $600.0 million on a committed basis to $575.0 million. Prior to the July 7th Amendment, the facility was priced at one-month LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, plus a spread ranging between 1.65% and 2.50% per annum. After the July 7th Amendment, the Existing Wells Fargo Credit Facility was priced at one-month LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, plus a spread of 2.75% per annum. Interest was payable quarterly in arrears. Funding I was subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Existing Wells Fargo Credit Facility has not been borrowed. The non-usage fee per annum was 0.50% for the first 25% of the unused balance and 2.0% for the portion of the unused balance that exceeded 25%, except for the period from March 15, 2019 through June 15, 2019, where the non-usage fee per annum was 0.50% on any principal amount unused.
On August 28, 2020, the Company refinanced the Existing Wells Fargo Credit Facility with (i) a $300.0 million revolving credit facility with the Company, as collateral manager, Funding I, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, and U.S. Bank, as collateral agent and collateral custodian (the “New Wells Fargo Credit Facility,” together with Existing Wells Fargo Credit Facility, “Wells Fargo Credit Facility”) and (ii) the JPM Credit Facility (as defined below).
The New Wells Fargo Credit Facility provides for borrowings through August 28, 2023, and any amounts borrowed under the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility will mature on August 28, 2025. The New Wells Fargo Credit Facility is priced at three-month LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of zero, plus a spread calculated based upon the composition of loans in the collateral pool, which will not exceed 2.75% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Funding I will be subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the commitments available under the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility have not been borrowed. The non-usage fee per annum is 0.50% for the first 25% of the unused balance and up to 2.0% for the remaining unused balance. Funding I paid a structuring fee and incurred other customary costs and expenses in connection with the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility. Pursuant to an amendment entered into on April 6, 2021, the commitment fee for any unused portion of the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility was temporarily reduced until September 30, 2021. Additionally, the maximum spread was reduced from 2.75% to 2.50% as a result of this amendment. The other terms of the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility were unchanged.
Funding I’s obligations under the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Funding I, including its portfolio of investments and the Company’s equity interest in Funding I. The obligations of Funding I under the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company.
In connection with the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility, the Company and Funding I have made certain representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants and other customary requirements. The New Wells Fargo Credit Facility contains customary default provisions pursuant to which the administrative agent and the lenders under the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility may terminate the Company in its capacity as collateral manager/portfolio manager under the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility, the administrative agent or the lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility immediately due and payable.

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 2022 Notes, 2023 Notes, 2024 Notes, and 2026 Notes, are derived from market indications provided by Bloomberg Finance L.P. at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
At September 30, 2021, 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company's borrowings would be deemed to be Level 3, as defined in Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the forward foreign currency contracts were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The foreign currency forward contract held as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were subject to ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements.
The Company is operated by a person who has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the "commodity pool operator" under the Commodity Exchange Act, and, therefore, who is not subject to registration or regulation as a pool operator under such Act.

(1) The commitment related to this investment is discretionary.
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.
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 September 30, 2021, the Company issued 231.5 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $2.4 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.

Note 10 — Share Repurchase Program
The Company intends to conduct 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.

On June 26, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors amended the Company's SRP. The Company intends to conduct tender offers on an annual basis, instead of on a semi-annual basis as was done previously. The Company intends to continue to limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year or (ii) 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 the relevant redemption period. 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 nine most recent tender offers were oversubscribed.

Note 11 — Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. The Company had no potentially dilutive securities for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase (decrease) in net assets per share resulting from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Note 12 — Distributions
For the period from January 1, 2018 to March 29, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors had authorized, and had declared, cash distributions payable on a monthly basis to stockholders of record at a distribution rate of $0.00178082 per day, which is equivalent to approximately $0.65 annually, per share of common stock, except for 2020 where the daily distribution rate was $0.00177596 per day to accurately reflect 2020 being a leap year. Effective April 21, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a transition in the timing of its distributions to holders of the Company's common stock from a monthly to a quarterly basis. On June 26, 2020, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company's common stock, payable on July 6, 2020 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2020. On September 25, 2020, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company's common stock, payable on October 1, 2020 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2020. On November 9, 2020, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company's common stock, payable on January 4, 2021 to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2020. On March 11, 2021, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company's common stock, payable on April 1, 2021 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2021. On May 7, 2021, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company's common stock, payable July 1, 2021 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2021. On September 28, 2021, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share and a special dividend of $0.02 per share of the Company's common stock, payable on October 1, 2021 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2021.
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 quarter using record and declaration dates. The distributions are payable by the fifth day following each record date.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had accrued $23.1 million and $15.5 million, respectively, in stockholder distributions that were unpaid.
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 make a larger capital gain distribution than it would have made 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 2019 tax year and 2018, 2017, and 2016 federal tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $2.0 million and a deferred tax liability of $(3.9) million. Given the losses generated by certain entities, deferred tax assets have been offset by valuation allowances of $2.0 million. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $5.0 million and a deferred tax liability of $(0.9) million. Given the losses generated by certain entities, deferred tax assets have been offset by valuation allowances of $5.0 million.
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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Business Development Corporation of America (the "Company," "BDCA," "we," or "our") and the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We are externally managed by our adviser, BDCA Adviser, LLC (the Adviser).
Forward Looking Statements
This report, and other statements that we may make, may contain forward-looking statements with respect to future financial or business performance, strategies, or expectations. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “trend,” “opportunity,” “pipeline,” “believe,” “comfortable,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “current,” “intention,” “estimate,” “position,” “assume,” “potential,” “outlook,” “continue,” “remain,” “maintain,” “sustain,” “seek,” “achieve,” and similar expressions, or future conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we assume no duty to and do not undertake to update forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.
In addition to factors previously disclosed in our U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports and those identified elsewhere in this report, including the “Risk Factors” section, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance:
our future operating results;
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and our portfolio companies, including our and their ability to access capital and liquidity;
changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets, including the effect of the current COVID-19 pandemic;
the impact that the discontinuation of LIBOR and the transition to new reference rates could have on the value of our LIBOR-indexed portfolio investments and the cost of borrowing under our credit facilities;
the impact of the investments that we expect to make;
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
our expected financings and investments;
the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital;
the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies;
our repurchase of shares;
actual and potential conflicts of interest with our Adviser and its affiliates;
the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its effect on the industries in which we invest;
the ability to qualify and maintain our qualifications as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and a business development company (“BDC”);
the timing, form, and amount of any distributions;
the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on our business;
the valuation of any investments in portfolio companies, particularly those having no liquid trading market;
the impact of changes to generally accepted accounting principles, and the impact to BDCA; and
the impact of changes to tax legislation and, generally, our tax position.
Our actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including the factors set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

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.
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 September 30, 2021, 78.0% 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.
89



 Loan RatingSummary 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 rating of our investments based on fair value was 2.15 and 2.33 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, we had seven portfolio companies on non-accrual with a total amortized cost of $66.4 million and fair value of $24.6 million, which represented 2.6% and 1.0% of the investment portfolio's total amortized cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, we had eleven portfolio companies on non-accrual with a total amortized cost of $104.1 million and fair value of $55.4 million, which represented 3.8%, and 2.1% of the investment portfolio's total 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.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred management fees of $10.0 million and $29.0 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred incentive fees on income of $6.7 million and $20.2 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred management fees of $8.9 million and $28.3 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 our revolving credit facilities and unsecured notes, each as defined herein in the section entitled "Borrowings". The increase in interest and debt fees for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 is primarily the result of the issuance of our 2026 Notes, partially offset by the redemption of our 2020 Notes as well as the transfer of the Citi Credit Facility to the SLF. The decrease in interest and debt fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 is primarily the result of the transfer of the Citi Credit Facility to the SLF as well as the redemption of our 2020 Notes, partially offset by the issuance of our 2026 Notes.

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss)$10,707 $37,654 $90,282 $(171,164)
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions, net of change in deferred taxes, resulted in a net gain of $10.7 million and $90.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to net gain (loss) of $37.7 million and $(171.2) million for the same periods in 2020. We look at net realized gain (loss) 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 gain for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by unrealized gains on Senior Secured Investments and Equity Investments. The net realized and unrealized gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by realized gains on Equity Investment sales as well as unrealized gains on Senior Secured Investments and Collateralized Securities.
The net realized and unrealized gain for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily driven by unrealized gains on Senior Secured Investments, partially offset by realized losses on Senior Secured Investment sales. The net realized and unrealized loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily driven by realized losses on Senior Secured Investment sales as well as unrealized losses on Senior Secured Investments, Collateralized Securities, and Equity investments.

Changes in Net Assets from Operations
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $37.4 million and $171.1 million, respectively, versus a net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations of $58.0 million and $(104.9) million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 is primarily driven by a decrease in unrealized gain on our investments. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 is primarily driven by an increase in realized and unrealized gain on our investments. Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.19 and $0.86, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, versus a net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations of $0.29 and $(0.53), respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Cash Flows
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $266.3 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 increase in cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily a result of purchases of investments of $952.1 million as well as payable for unsettled trades of $177.8 million, partially offset by sales and repayments of $843.6 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $254.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily related to proceeds from debt of $982.0 million, partially offset by payments on debt of $661.0 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $239.3 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 increase in cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily a result of sales and repayments of investments of $669.9 million and net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $66.4 million, offset by purchases of investments of $495.5 million.
Net cash used in financing activities of $214.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily related to payments on debt of $976.7 million, which was partially offset by proceeds from debt of $774.0 million.
BDCA Senior Loan Fund, LLC
On January 20, 2021, BDCA and Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (“CCLF”) formed a joint venture, BDCA Senior Loan Fund, LLC (the “SLF”), that invests primarily in senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent may invest in mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle-market companies. SLF was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is not consolidated by either BDCA or CCLF for financial reporting purposes. BDCA provides capital to the SLF in the form of LLC equity interests. As of September 30, 2021, BDCA and CCLF owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. BDCA and CCLF each appoint two members to SLF's four-person board of directors. All material decisions with respect to SLF, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of directors. Quorum is defined as (i) the presence of two members of the board of directors; provided that at least one individual is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each member; (ii) the presence of three members of the board of directors; provided that the individual that was elected, designated or appointed by the member with only one individual present shall be entitled to cast two votes on each matter; and (iii) the presence of four members of the board of directors; provided that two individuals are present that were elected, designated or appointed by each member.
As part of the initial contribution to SLF, BDCA contributed $751.8 million of assets including $664.2 million of investments and $42.4 million of cash as well as $446.9 million worth of liabilities including the Citi Credit Facility debt of $344.4 million in exchange for $304.9 million of equity in SLF. As of September 30, 2021, BDCA’s investment in SLF consisted of equity contributions of $304.9 million.
Below is a summary of SLF’s portfolio, as of September 30, 2021 and a listing of the individual investments in SLF’s portfolio as of such date can be found in “Note 3 – Fair Value of Investments” in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements (dollars in thousands):

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in governments around the world implementing a broad suite of measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, travel restrictions and business curtailments and others. The emergence of COVID-19 created economic and financial disruptions that may affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and certain of our portfolio companies’ results of operations and liquidity. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and certain of our portfolio companies’ results of operations and liquidity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 exigency and the fiscal and monetary response designed to mitigate strain to businesses and the economy, the operating environment of certain of our portfolio companies is evolving rapidly. We have been in frequent communication with management, as well as the private equity sponsors, of our portfolio companies in order to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their particular businesses and assess their ability to meet their obligations. We continue to closely monitor our investment portfolio in order to be positioned to respond appropriately.
Recent Developments
On August 10, 2021, Michael Frick was appointed to serve as Secretary of the Company effective upon the resignation of Leeor Avigdor from such position. Mr. Avigdor will remain an employee of BSP and his decision to step down was not due to any dispute or disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, practices or accounting matters.
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 September 30, 2021, we had issued 231.5 million shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $2.4 billion, including the shares purchased by affiliates and shares issued pursuant to the DRIP. As of September 30, 2021, we had $610.0 million of senior unsecured notes outstanding. We suspended the DRIP from March 29, 2020 through June 26, 2020. While the DRIP was suspended, participants and all other holders of our common stock received distributions paid in cash. On March 31, 2020, we issued in a private placement an aggregate amount of 9,532,062 newly issued shares of our common stock at a price of $5.77 per share for aggregate cash proceeds of $55.0 million and on April 30, 2020, we issued in a private placement an aggregate amount of 693,240 newly issued shares of our common stock at a price of $5.77 per share for aggregate cash proceeds of $4.0 million.
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.
We intend to conduct 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 an annual basis. We intend to continue to limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year or (ii) 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 the relevant redemption period. 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
For the period from January 1, 2018 to March 29, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors had authorized, and had declared, cash distributions payable on a monthly basis to stockholders of record at a distribution rate of $0.00178082 per day, which is equivalent to approximately $0.65 annually, per share of common stock, except for 2020 where the daily distribution rate was $0.00177596 per day to accurately reflect 2020 being a leap year. Effective April 21, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a transition in the timing of its distributions to holders of the Company's common stock from a monthly to a quarterly basis. On June 26, 2020, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company's common stock, payable on July 6, 2020 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2020. On September 25, 2020, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company's common stock, payable on October 1, 2020 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2020. On November 9, 2020, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company's common stock, payable on January 4, 2021 to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2020. On March 11, 2021, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company's common stock, payable on April 1, 2021 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2021. On May 7, 2021, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company's common stock, payable July 1, 2021 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2021. On September 28, 2021, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share and a special dividend of $0.02 per share of the Company's common stock, payable on October 1, 2021 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2021.
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 quarter using record and declaration dates. The distributions are payable by the fifth day following each record date.
The table below shows the components of the distributions we have declared and/or paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands).
 For the nine months ended September 30,
 20212020
Distributions declared$69,634 $70,528 
Distributions paid$61,989 $65,786 
Portion of distributions paid in cash$46,017 $48,129 
Portion of distributions paid in DRIP shares$15,972 $17,657 
As of September 30, 2021, we had $23.1 million of distributions accrued and unpaid. As of December 31, 2020, we had $15.5 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 gain proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gain 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021 will be reported to stockholders shortly after the end of the calendar year 2021 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 gain. 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 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.

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
Investment Advisory Agreement
We entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement as of February 1, 2019, which was approved by the Board of Directors for a two year term, 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. The Board renewed the Investment Advisory Agreement on January 21, 2021.
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. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in administrative service fees under the Administration Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $0.6 million and $1.4 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 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, JPM, and MassMutual and have sold $610.0 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 "Existing Wells Fargo Credit Facility"). The Existing Wells Fargo Credit Facility was amended on July 7, 2020 (the "July 7th Amendment") to decrease the total aggregate principal amount of borrowings from $600.0 million on a committed basis to $575.0 million. Prior to the July 7th Amendment, the facility was priced at one-month LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, plus a spread ranging between 1.65% and 2.50% per annum. After the July 7th Amendment, the Existing Wells Fargo Credit Facility was priced at one-month LIBOR, with no LIBOR floor, plus a spread of 2.75% per annum. Interest was payable quarterly in arrears. Funding I was subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Existing Wells Fargo Credit Facility has not been borrowed. The non-usage fee per annum was 0.50% for the first 25% of the unused balance and 2.0% for the portion of the unused balance that exceeds 25%, except for the period from March 15, 2019 through June 15, 2019, where the non-usage fee per annum was 0.50% on any principal amount unused.
On August 28, 2020, the Company refinanced the Existing Wells Fargo Credit Facility with (i) a $300.0 million revolving credit facility with the Company, as collateral manager, Funding I, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, and U.S. Bank, as collateral agent and collateral custodian (the "New Wells Fargo Credit Facility," together with Existing Wells Fargo Credit Facility, "Wells Fargo Credit Facility") and (ii) the JPM Credit Facility (as defined below).
The New Wells Fargo Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $300.0 million through August 28, 2023, and any amounts borrowed under the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility will mature on August 28, 2025. The New Wells Fargo Credit Facility is priced at three-month LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of zero, plus a spread calculated based upon the composition of loans in the collateral pool, which will not exceed 2.75% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Funding I will be subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the commitments available under the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility have not been borrowed. The non-usage fee per annum is 0.50% for the first 25% of the unused balance and up to 2.0% for the remaining unused balance. Funding I paid a structuring fee and incurred other customary costs and expenses in connection with the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility. Pursuant to an amendment entered into on April 6, 2021, the commitment fee for any unused portion of the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility was temporarily reduced until September 30, 2021. Additionally, the maximum spread was reduced from 2.75% to 2.50% as a result of this amendment. The other terms of the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility were unchanged.
Funding I’s obligations under the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Funding I, including its portfolio of investments and the Company’s equity interest in Funding I. The obligations of Funding I under the New Wells Fargo Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company.

The JPM Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $300.0 million through August 28, 2023, and any amounts borrowed under the JPM Credit Facility will mature on August 28, 2023 unless the administrative agent exercises its option to extend the maturity date to August 28, 2024. The JPM Credit Facility is priced at three-month LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of zero, plus a spread of 2.75% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. 57th Street will be subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the commitments available under the JPM Credit Facility have not been borrowed. The non-usage fee per annum is 0.50% for the first 20% of the unused balance and up to 2.75% for the remaining unused balance until August 28, 2021, when the non-usage fee per annum is 0.75% for the first 20% of the unused balance and up to 2.75% for the remaining unused balance. 57th Street paid a structuring fee and incurred other customary costs and expenses in connection with the JPM Credit Facility. On January 21, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the “JPM Amendment”) to the JPM Credit Facility. The JPM Amendment, among other things, increases the amount that the Company is permitted to borrow under the JPM Credit Agreement from $300.0 million to $400.0 million. On April 12, 2021, the Company, through 57th Street, amended and restated the JPM Credit Facility. The amendment and restatement temporarily reduced the previous minimum funding amount until October 13, 2021. The other material terms of the JPM Credit Facility were unchanged.

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. ("Citi") as administrative agent and U.S. Bank as collateral agent, account bank, and collateral custodian. From January 1, 2020 to January 20, 2021 the Citi Credit Facility provided for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400.0 million on a committed basis, with a reinvestment period ending on May 31, 2021 and maturity date of May 31, 2022. On January 20, 2021, SLF entered into an amendment to the Citi Credit Facility (the “Citi Credit Agreement”). The amendment, among other things, (i) replaces the Company with SLF as the collateral manager under the Citi Credit Agreement, (ii) extends the end of the reinvestment period from May 31, 2021 to May 31, 2023 and (iii) extends the final maturity date from May 31, 2022 to May 31, 2024. As a result of this amendment to the Citi Credit Facility, the Company incurred a realized loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million. In connection with the Citi Credit Facility, CB Funding 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.

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 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies appearing elsewhere in this report, we believe the following accounting policies require the most significant judgment in the preparation of our 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 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 contractual 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.
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.
Dividend Income
Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.
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 recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected.
Non-accrual Income
Investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest/dividend payments are past due 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 Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
Gain or loss on the sale of investments is calculated using the specific identification method. We measure realized gain or loss 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 a gain or loss is realized.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate 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.
As of September 30, 2021, our debt included variable-rate debt, bearing a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.60% and fixed rate debt, bearing a weighted average interest rate of 4.09% with a total carrying value (net of deferred financing costs) of $1,084.8 million. The following table quantifies the potential changes in interest income net of interest expense should base interest rates increase or decrease by the amounts below assuming that our current consolidated statement of assets and liabilities was to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate floors, if applicable, are not reflected in the sensitivity analysis below.
Change in Base Interest RatesEstimated Change in Interest Income net of Interest Expense (in thousands)
(-) 13 Basis Points$(2,433)
(+) 50 Basis Points$9,347 
(+) 100 Basis Points$18,694 
(+) 200 Basis Points$37,387 
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.
Capital Markets Risk
The prices of securities we hold may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies we invest in; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; legislative reform; local, regional, national or global political, social or economic instability; and interest rate fluctuations. In addition, U.S. and global capital markets and credit markets have experienced a higher level of stress due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in an increase in the level of volatility across such markets and a general decline in value of the publicly-traded securities held by us.
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 September 30, 2021 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 September 30, 2021, 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, 2020, 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.
Because we borrow money, the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested in us will be magnified and may increase the risk of investing in us.
As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $1.1 billion of debt financing. The use of borrowings, also known as leverage, increases the volatility of investments by magnifying the potential for gain or loss on invested equity capital. Because we use leverage to partially finance our investments, through borrowing from banks and other lenders, you will experience increased risks of investing in our common stock. If the value of our assets increases, leveraging would cause the net asset value attributable to our common stock to increase more sharply than it would have had we not leveraged. Conversely, if the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause our net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Similarly, any increase in our income in excess of interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net income to increase more than it would without the leverage, while any decrease in our income would cause net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect our ability to make common stock distribution payments. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique.
Illustration. The following table illustrates the effect of leverage on returns from an investment in our common stock assuming various annual returns, net of expenses. The calculations in the table below are hypothetical and actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing below. The calculation assumes (i) $2.8 billion in total assets, (ii) a weighted average cost of funds of 3.51%, (iii) $1.4 billion in debt outstanding (i.e., assumes that the $610.0 million principal amount of our unsecured notes sold and the full $800.0 million available to us under our revolving credit facilities is outstanding), and (iv) $1.5 billion in stockholders’ equity. In order to compute the “Corresponding return to stockholders,” the “Assumed Return on Our Portfolio (net of expenses)” is multiplied by the assumed total assets to obtain an assumed return to us. From this amount, the interest expense is calculated by multiplying the assumed weighted average cost of funds by the assumed debt outstanding, and the product is subtracted from the assumed return to us in order to determine the return available to stockholders. The return available to stockholders is then divided by our stockholders’ equity to determine the “Corresponding return to stockholders.” Actual interest payments may be different.
