1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Golub
Capital BDC LLC (“GC BDC”) was formed in the State of Delaware in November 2009
to continue and expand the business of Golub Capital Master Funding LLC (“GCMF”,
collectively with GC BDC “the Company”), which commenced operations in July
2007. All of the outstanding limited liability company interests in GCMF were
initially held by three Delaware limited liability companies, Golub Capital
Company IV, LLC (“GCC 4”), Golub Capital Company V, LLC (“GCC 5”), and Golub
Capital Company VI, LLC (“GCC 6”) or the Capital Companies. In November 2009,
the Capital Companies formed GC BDC, into which they contributed 100% of the
limited liability company interests of GCMF and from which they received a
proportionate number of limited liability company interests in GC BDC. For
periods prior to November 2009, the financial statements only reflect the
financial results of GCMF.
The
Company primarily invests in senior secured, second lien and mezzanine loans to
middle market companies. Prior to the pricing of the Company’s initial public
offering on April 14, 2010, Golub Capital Incorporated (“GCI”) served as the
Investment Manager (“Investment Manager”) for the Company.
Interim financial statements:
The unaudited financial statements of the Company are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for
reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of
management, the information included reflects all adjustments consisting only of
normal recurring accruals and adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of
financial results for the interim period. However, the current period’s
operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.
Accounting policies: The
Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”). The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
that the Company follows to ensure consistent reporting of financial condition,
results of operations, and cash flows. In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification
TM
(“Codification”) which is the single source of authoritative GAAP
recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The
Codification does not change U.S. GAAP, but combines all authoritative standards
into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. One level of
authoritative GAAP exists, other than guidance issued by the SEC. All other
accounting literature excluded from the Codification is considered
non-authoritative. The Codification was made effective by the FASB for periods
ending on or after September 15, 2009. These consolidated financial statements
reflect the guidance in the Codification.
Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GC BDC and
its wholly owned subsidiary, GCMF. GC BDC consolidates an affiliated subsidiary
if it owns more than 50 percent of the subsidiary’s capital. All intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair value of financial instruments:
Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are considered
financial instruments and are reported in the consolidated statement of
financial condition at fair value, or at carrying amounts that approximate fair
value because of the short maturity of the instruments.

Use of estimates : The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segments: In accordance with
segment guidance set by the FASB, the Company has determined that it has a
single reporting segment and operating unit structure.
Cash and cash equivalents
: Cash and cash
equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three
months or less at the date of acquisition.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents:
Restricted cash and cash equivalents represent amounts that are collected
and are held by trustees who have been appointed as custodians of the assets
securing certain of the Company’s financing transactions. Restricted cash is
held by the trustees for payment of interest expense and principal on the
outstanding borrowings.
Revenue
recognition:
Investments and related investment
income: Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis.
The portfolio of investments is valued by management at fair value. Interest is
recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts and origination fees are amortized
into interest income over the life of the respective security. For the six
months ended March 31, 2010, interest income included approximately $4,847 of
such amounts, of which $2,769 was accelerated into interest income as a result
of principal repayments.
For
investments with contractual payment-in-kind interest, which represents
contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance that generally
becomes due at maturity, the Company will not accrue payment-in-kind interest if
the portfolio company valuation indicates that the payment-in-kind interest is
not collectible. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the
difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the cost basis of
investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized.
The Company reports changes in fair value of investments that are measured at
fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on investments in the consolidated statement of operations.
Non-accrual loans: Loans are
placed on non-accrual status when principal and interest payments are past due
90 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest
will be collected. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed
on non-accrual. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be
recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s
judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due
principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to
remain current. Total fair value of non-accrual loans was $0 and $8,736 as of
March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

Income taxes : The Company
does not record a provision for income taxes because the members report their
share of the Company's income or loss on their income tax returns.
In July
2006, the FASB issued further guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with
previous guidance for accounting for income taxes. This further guidance
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition of tax
benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company has
applied the provisions of the additional guidance since inception and it did not
have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or
its consolidated results of operations and there are no material uncertain tax
positions through March 31, 2010. The 2007 through 2009 tax years remain subject
to examination by U.S federal and most state tax authorities.
Deferred financing costs :
Deferred financing costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs
incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These amounts are
amortized and included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of
operations over the estimated average life of the borrowings. Amortization
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $0 and $123,
respectively. Amortization expense for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and
2009 was $0 and $246, respectively.
Deferred offering costs:
Deferred offering costs consist of fees paid in relation to legal,
accounting, regulatory and printing work completed in preparation of the initial
public offering. Offering costs are charged against the proceeds from equity
offerings when received.
Subsequent events: The Company
has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements
were issued.
Recent accounting pronouncements:
In January 2010, the FASB issued further guidance on improving
disclosures about fair value measurements, which is effective for interim and
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The main provisions
of the update relate to expanded disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels
1 and 2 and activity within Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted
this guidance, and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

5. Fair Value Measurements
The
Company follows fair value standards for measuring the fair value of portfolio
investments. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters,
or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are
not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve
some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is
dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the
instruments’ complexity for disclosure purposes. The Company’s fair value
analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments.
Financial assets
recorded at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial condition are
categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to
measure their value. Hierarchical levels are directly related to the amount of
subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets are
as follows:
Level 1 : Inputs are
unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the
measurement date.
Level 2 : Inputs
other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset,
either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 : Inputs are
unobservable for the asset and include situations where there is little, if any,
market activity for the asset. The inputs into the determination of fair value
are based upon the best information in the circumstances and may require
significant management judgment or estimation.
In
certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different
levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within
the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety
requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. The
following section describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to
measure different financial instruments at fair value and includes the level
within the fair value hierarchy in which the financial instrument is
categorized.
With the
exception of money market funds held at large financial institutions (Level 1
assets), all of the assets that are recorded at fair value as of and during the
period ended March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009 were valued using Level 3
inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Assets that are recorded at Level 3 fair
value are the Company’s corporate debt securities. Level 3 assets are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on input
of management, the audit committee and independent valuation firms that have
been engaged at the direction of the board to assist in the valuation of each
portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once
during a trailing 12 month period, and under a valuation policy and a
consistently applied valuation process. This valuation process is conducted at
the end of each fiscal quarter, with approximately 25% (based on fair value) of
the Company’s valuation of portfolio companies without readily available market
quotations subject to review by an independent valuation firm.
When
valuing Level 3 corporate debt securities, the Company may take into account the
following type of factors, where relevant, in determining the fair value of the
investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and
realizable valuable of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make
payments and its earnings, discounted cash flows, comparison to publicly traded
securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that
generally may affect the price at which similar investments may be made and
other relevant factors. In addition, for certain debt securities, the Company
may base its valuation on indicative bid and ask prices provided by an
independent third party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price
that the Company and others are may be willing to pay. Ask prices represent the
lowest price that the Company and others are may be willing
to accept for an asset. The Company generally uses the midpoint of the bid/ask
as the best estimate of fair value.

Notes

(in

|
Due to
the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 assets that do
not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the assets may
differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready
market existed for such assets and may differ materially from the values that
may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such assets are generally
subject to legal and other restrictions or otherwise are less liquid than
publicly traded instruments. If the Company were required to liquidate a
portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company may realize
significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been
recorded.
The
Company’s investments are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential
for changes in the value of investments due to market changes. Market risk is
directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the
assets are traded.
In
accordance with fair value disclosure requirements, the following table presents
information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring
basis as of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, and indicates the fair value
hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such
fair value:

6. Borrowings
Facility advances : On July
27, 2007, GCMF entered into a credit facility agreement (“Existing Credit
Facility”) under which the lender agreed to provide advances up to $300,000. The
Existing Credit Facility included an “accordion” feature which allowed GCMF to
increase the size of the Existing Credit Facility up to $500,000 under certain
circumstances. The facility commitment termination date was December 29, 2008,
and as such, no additional funds may be borrowed under the Existing Credit
Facility. The Existing Credit Facility matures on December 29, 2010. Prior to
the facility commitment termination date, the amount outstanding under the
Existing Credit Facility could range up to 85% of the balances outstanding of
the pledged loans and investments depending on the mix of assets and the rating
and diversification of assets.

was $366,420 and $272,530, respectively, and the interest expense incurred was
$1,268 and $2,566, respectively.
Balances
outstanding under the Existing Credit Facility are secured by substantially all
of the Company’s investment securities and restricted cash and cash equivalents.
On December 23, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the lender
whereby the lender agreed to release collateral and allow the distribution of
investments with a total fair value and par amount of approximately $13,530 and
$21,312, respectively, up to the Capital Companies in exchange for a
contribution to the Company’s restricted cash account totaling $21,312. The
contribution amount exceeded the carrying value of the distributed asset by
$7,782.
As of
March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, $293,226 and $376,294 of investments in
securities and $33,679 and $30,614 of restricted cash and cash equivalents were
pledged as collateral against $210,444 and $315,306 of advances under the
Existing Credit Facility, respectively.
Note
7. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments: The Company had
outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling approximately $19,730 and
$18,642 under various undrawn revolvers and other credit facilities as of March
31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.
Indemnifications : In the
normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that
contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general
indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the
Company that have not occurred. The Company expects the risk of any future
obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.

9. Subsequent Events
On April
13, 2010, GC BDC converted from a limited liability company into a corporation
and elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). In this conversion, Golub
Capital BDC, Inc. (“GBDC”) succeeded to the business of Golub Capital BDC LLC
and its consolidated subsidiary, and the members of Golub Capital BDC LLC became
stockholders of GBDC. An aggregate of 8,984,863 shares of common stock, par
value $0.001 per share, were issued to the members of GC BDC in this conversion.
In addition, for tax purposes, GBDC has elected to be treated as a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.
On April
14, 2010, GBDC priced its initial public offering (the “Offering”) and sold
7,100,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $14.50 per
share. Net of underwriting fees and offering costs, GBDC raised a total of
approximately $93,744 and on April 15, 2010, its shares began trading on the
Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “GBDC”. In addition, GBDC sold
1,322,581 shares at $14.50 in a concurrent private placement, raising
approximately $19,177. GBDC has also granted the underwriters an option to
purchase up to an additional 1,065,000 shares of common stock.

Agreement”) with GC Advisors LLC (the “Investment Adviser”), under which the
Investment Adviser will manage the day-to-day operations of, and provide
investment advisory services to GBDC. The Investment Adviser is a registered
investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). For
providing services, the Investment Adviser will receive fees, consisting of two
components – a base management fee and an incentive fee. The base management fee
is calculated at an annual rate of 1.375% of average adjusted gross assets
(excluding cash and cash equivalents and including assets purchased with
borrowed funds) and is payable quarterly in arrears.
We have
structured the calculation of the incentive fee to include a fee limitation such
that an incentive fee for any quarter can only be paid to the Investment Adviser
if, after such payment, the cumulative incentive fees paid to the Investment
Adviser since becoming a business development company would be less than or
equal to 20.0% of our Cumulative Pre-incentive Fee Net Income (as defined
below).
We
accomplish this limitation by subjecting each quarterly incentive fee payable on
the “Income
and Capital Gains Incentive Fee Calculation” (as defined
below) to a cap (the “Incentive Fee Cap”). The Incentive Fee Cap in any quarter
is the difference between (a) 20.0% of Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income
and (b) cumulative incentive fees of any kind paid to the Investment Adviser by
Golub Capital BDC since the effective date of our election to become a business
development company. To the extent the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative
value in any quarter, no incentive fee would be payable in that quarter.
Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income is equal to the sum of (a) Pre-Incentive
Fee Net Investment Income for each period since the effective date of our
election to become a business development company and (b) cumulative aggregate
realized capital gains, cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, cumulative
aggregate unrealized capital depreciation and cumulative aggregate unrealized
capital appreciation since the effective date of our election to become a
business development company.
Pre-Incentive
Fee Net Investment Income means interest income, dividend income and any other
income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring,
diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio
companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during
the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the calendar quarter
(including the base management fee, taxes, any expenses payable under the
Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement (as defined
below), and any interest expense and dividends paid on any 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
market discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK
dividends and zero coupon securities, accrued income that we have not yet
received in cash.

Incentive
fees are calculated as below and payable quarterly in arrears (or, upon
termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date) (a
‘‘Performance Period’’). The Investment Adviser is not under any obligation to
reimburse us for any part of the incentive fee it received that was based on
accrued interest that we never actually receive.
The
income and capital gains incentive fee calculation (the ‘‘Income and Capital
Gain Incentive Fee Calculation’’) has two parts: the income component and the
capital gains component. The income component is calculated quarterly in arrears
based on our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the immediately
preceding calendar quarter.
Pre-Incentive
Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized
capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Because of
the structure of the income component, it is possible that an incentive fee may
be calculated under this formula with respect to a period in which we have
incurred a loss. For example, if we receive Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment
Income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a calendar quarter,
the income component will result in a positive value and an incentive fee will
be paid unless the payment of such incentive fee would cause us to pay incentive
fees on a cumulative basis that exceed 20.0% of Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee
Income. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return
on the value of our net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and
before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the
end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a fixed
‘‘hurdle rate’’ of 2.0% quarterly. If market interest rates rise, GBDC may be
able to invest funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which
would increase Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income and make it easier for
The Investment Adviser to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an incentive
fee based on such net investment income. Our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment
Income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the
amount of our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including
assets purchased with borrowed funds) used to calculate the 1.375% base
management fee. We calculate the income component of the Income and Capital Gain
Incentive Fee Calculation with respect to our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment
Income quarterly, in arrears, as follows:
|
·
|
zero
in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment
Income does not exceed the hurdle rate;
|
|
·
|
100.0%
of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that
portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that
exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5% in any calendar quarter. We
refer to this portion of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income
(which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5%) as the ‘‘catch-up’’
provision. The catch-up is meant to provide our external manager with
20.0% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate
did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar
quarter; and
|
|
·
|
20.0%
of the amount of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that
exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter.
|
The sum
of these calculations yields the Income Incentive Fee. This amount is
appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the
quarter.
The
second part of the Incentive Fee Calculation (the ‘‘Capital Gain Incentive
Fee’’) equals (a) 20.0% of our ‘‘Capital Gain Incentive Fee Base,’’ if any,
calculated in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination
of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), commencing
with the year ending December 31, 2010, less (b) the aggregate amount of any
previously paid Capital Gain Incentive Fees. Our Capital Gain Incentive Fee Base
equals the sum of (1) our realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative
positive basis from the date of our election to become a business development
company through the end of each calendar year, (2) all realized capital losses
on a cumulative basis and (3) all unrealized capital depreciation on a
cumulative basis.

The
cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of
the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each
investment in our portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized
cost basis of such investment.
|
|
·
|
The
cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of
the amounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in our
portfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis
of such investment.
|
|
·
|
The
aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the
differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in
our portfolio as of the applicable Capital Gain Incentive Fee calculation
date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment. The
sum of the Income Incentive Fee and the Capital Gain Incentive Fee will be
the Incentive Fee.
|
The
Incentive Fee will not be paid at any time if, after such payment, the
cumulative Incentive Fees paid to date would be greater than 20.0% of our
cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income since our election to be treated as a
business development company. We refer to such amount, less any Incentive Fees
previously paid, as the Incentive Fee Cap. If, for any relevant period, the
Incentive Fee Cap calculation results in our paying less than the amount of the
Incentive Fee calculated above, then the difference between the Incentive Fee
and the Incentive Fee Cap will not be paid by GBDC, and will not be received by
The Investment Adviser as an Incentive Fee either at the end of such relevant
period or at the end of any future period. For the avoidance of doubt, we expect
that our stockholders will benefit
from a reduction in the amount of Incentive Fees that we pay, and that they pay
indirectly, equal to the sum of the differences, if any, between the Incentive
Fee and the Incentive Fee Cap.
GBDC has
also entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”)
with GC Service Company, LLC (the “Administrator”), under which the
Administrator provide services for GBDC. For providing these services,
facilities and personnel, GBDC reimburses the Administrator for GBDC’s allocable
portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in
performing these obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent.
Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator will also provide
managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which GBDC is required to
provide such assistance.

Overview
We are an
externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company
that has filed an election to be regulated as a business development company
under the 1940 Act. In addition, for tax purposes we have elected to
be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.
As a
business development company, we are required to comply with certain regulatory
requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70%
of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities and
indebtedness of private U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government
securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or
less. To qualify as a RIC, we must meet certain source-of-income and
asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to our stockholders at
least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by Code, for each
year. Pursuant to this election, we generally do not have to pay
corporate level taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders.
Our
investment objective is to maximize the total return to our stockholders in the
form of current income and capital appreciation through debt and minority equity
investments. We intend to achieve our investment objective by (1) accessing the
established loan origination channels developed by Golub Capital, a leading
lender to middle-market companies with over $4 billion of capital as of March
31, 2010, (2) selecting investments within our core middle-market company focus,
(3) partnering with experienced private equity firms, or sponsors, in many cases
with whom we have invested alongside in the past, (4) implementing the
disciplined underwriting standards of Golub Capital and (5) drawing upon the
aggregate experience and resources of Golub Capital.
35
Subsequent
to the BDC Conversion, our investment activities are managed by GC Advisors and
supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent of us,
GC Advisors and its affiliates. At a meeting of our board of directors held on
March 5, 2010, our board of directors unanimously voted to approve the
Investment Advisory Agreement. In reaching a decision to approve the Investment
Advisory Agreement, the board of directors reviewed a significant amount of
information and considered, among other things:
•
|
the
nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services to be
provided to us by GC Advisors, our investment adviser;
|
|
•
|
the
fee structures of comparable externally managed business development
companies that engage in similar investing activities; and
|
|
•
|
various
other matters.
|
Based on
the information reviewed and the discussions detailed above, the board of
directors, including all of the directors who are not “interested persons” as
defined in the 1940 Act, concluded that the investment advisory fee rates and
terms are fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided and approved
the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as the Administration Agreement, as
being in the best interests of our stockholders.
Under the
Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay GC Advisors an annual base
management fee based on our average adjusted gross assets as well as an
incentive fee based on our investment performance. We have also entered into an
administration agreement with GC Service under which we have agreed to reimburse
GC Service for our allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of our
independent directors) of overhead and other expenses incurred by GC Service in
performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement.
As of
March 31, 2010 our portfolio comprised primarily of senior secured loans;
however, we intend to pursue an investment strategy focused on investing in
unitranche, mezzanine and second lien loans and warrants and minority equity
co-investments in middle-market companies. A unitranche loan refers to a loan
that combines characteristics of traditional first-lien senior secured loans and
second-lien or subordinated loans. Accordingly, over time we expect that senior
secured loans will represent a smaller percentage of our investment portfolio as
we grow our business, these investments are repaid and we invest in a different
mix of assets. In the
short term, we
expect to invest in a mix of mezzanine and senior secured loans to obtain a high
level of current income and to preserve capital.
We seek
to create a diverse portfolio that includes senior secured, unitranche,
mezzanine and second lien loans and warrants and minority equity securities by
investing approximately $10 to $25 million of capital, on average, in the
securities of middle-market companies. We may also selectively invest more than
$25 million in the securities of some portfolio companies and generally expect
that the size of our individual investments will vary proportionately with the
size of our capital base.
As of
March 31, 2010, our portfolio comprised debt in 80 portfolio companies. For the
three and six months ended March 31, 2010, our income producing assets, which
represented 100% of our total portfolio, had a weighted average annualized
interest income
(which excludes income resulting from amortization of fees and discounts) yield
of approximately 7.6% and 8.1% and a weighted average annualized investment
income (which includes interest income and amortization of fees and discounts)
yield of approximately 9.8% and 11.0%, respectively.
36
Revenues. We
generate revenue in the form of interest income on debt investments and capital
gains and distributions, if any, on investment securities that we acquire in
portfolio companies. Our debt investments, whether in the form of senior
secured, unitranche, mezzanine or second lien loans, typically have a term of
three-to-ten years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. In some
instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled
amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we receive repayments of
some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The
frequency or volume of these repayments may fluctuate significantly from period
to period. Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of
securities. In some cases, our investments provide for deferred interest
payments or payment-in-kind, or PIK interest. The principal amount of loans and
any accrued but unpaid interest generally become due at the maturity date. In
addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination,
structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and
consulting fees. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market
discount or premium are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts as
interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans as interest income. When
we receive principal payments on a loan in an amount that exceeds its carrying
value, we also record the excess principal payment as interest income. Dividend
income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect
to collect such amounts.
Expenses. After
the BDC Conversion, primary operating expenses include the payment of fees to GC
Advisors under the Investment Advisory Agreement, our allocable portion of
overhead expenses under the Administration Agreement and other operating costs
described below. Additionally, we pay interest expense on all outstanding
debt. We bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our
operations and transactions, including:
|
·
|
the
cost of calculating our net asset value, including the cost of any
third-party valuation services;
|
|
·
|
the
cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock and
other securities;
|
|
·
|
fees
payable to third parties relating to making investments, including
out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence
and reviews of prospective investments;
|
|
·
|
transfer
agent and custodial fees;
|
|
·
|
out-of-pocket
fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;

administering our business, including payments under the Administration
Agreement that will be based upon our allocable portion (subject to the
review and approval of our board of directors) of overhead.

Recent
Developments
On April
13, 2010, Golub Capital BDC LLC converted from a Delaware limited liability
company into a Delaware corporation and elected to be treated as a business
development company under the 1940 Act. In this conversion, Golub Capital BDC,
Inc. assumed the business activities of Golub Capital BDC LLC, and the members
of Golub Capital BDC LLC became stockholders of Golub Capital BDC, Inc. As a
result of the conversion, GCMF became a wholly owned subsidiary of Golub Capital
BDC, Inc.
On April
14, 2010, we priced our initial public offering and sold 7,100,000 shares of our
common stock at a price of $14.50 per share. Our shares began trading on April
15, 2010 on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “GBDC”. Net of
underwriting fees and offering costs, we raised a total of approximately $93.7
million. In addition, we sold 1,322,581 shares at $14.50 per share in a
concurrent private placement, raising an additional $19.2 million in proceeds.
GBDC has also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional
1,065,000 shares of common stock. As
of March 31, 2010, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the offering and
the concurrent private placement and assuming no exercise of the underwriters’
over-allotment option, our net asset value was approximately $254.7 million, or
approximately $14.63 per share.
Portfolio
Composition, Investment Activity and Yield
At March
31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, we had investments in debt in 80 portfolio
companies and 95 portfolio companies, respectively, with a total value of
approximately $293.2 million and $376.3 million, respectively. For the three
months and six months ended March 31, 2010 we originated 0 new investments.
For the
three and six months ended March 31, 2010, we had approximately $32.7 million
and $69.4 million in debt repayments in existing portfolio companies,
respectively, and sold 0 securities. In addition, on December 23,
2009, we entered into a waiver and consent under the variable funding indenture,
dated as of July 27, 2007, between GCMF, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National
Association, as indenture trustee, or the Existing Credit Facility, pursuant to
which we were permitted to distribute investments with a fair value and par
value of approximately $13.5 million and $21.3 million to Golub Capital BDC LLC,
free and clear of liens under the Existing Credit Facility. In
January 2010, we then distributed these portfolio assets to the three equity
members of GCMF, pro rata in accordance with the ownership interests in Golub
Capital BDC LLC held by each of the equity members. The equity members are
limited liability companies affiliated with Golub Capital. The
members then made a cash contribution of $21.3 million to us, which was
subsequently contributed to GCMF.
During
the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, we had unrealized appreciation on
58 and 75 portfolio company investments totaling approximately $3.7 million and
$13.9 million, respectively, which were offset by unrealized depreciation on 40
and 47 portfolio company investments totaling approximately -$1.8 million and
-$12.8 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31,
2009, we had unrealized appreciation on 44 and 63 portfolio company investments
totaling approximately $4.9 million and $9.5 million, respectively, which was
offset by unrealized depreciation on 65 and 81 portfolio company investments
totaling approximately -$7.5 million and -$16.0 million, respectively.

Two
of our loans included a feature permitting a portion of the interest due
on such loan to be PIK interest as of March 31, 2010 and September 30,
2009. PIK interest, which effectively operates as negative
amortization of loan principal, represents contractual interest accrued
and added to the principal balance of a loan and generally becomes due at
maturity.
|
For the
three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and for the year ended March
31, 2010 and for the year ended September 30, 2009, the weighted average
annualized interest income (which
excludes income resulting from amortization of fees and discounts) yield on
the fair value of investments in our portfolio was approximately
7.58%, 8.10% and 8.05%, respectively. As of
March 31, 2010, approximately 49.9% and 50.3% of our portfolio at fair value and
at cost, respectively, had interest rate floors that limit the minimum
applicable interest rates on such loans. As of September 30, 2009, approximately
47.6% and 47.1% of our portfolio at fair value and at cost, respectively, had
interest rate floors that limit minimum interest rates on such loans.
GC
Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and
rates each of them based on the following categories, which we refer to as GC
Advisors’ investment performance rating:

Risk
Ratings Definition
|
||
Rating
|
Definition

loan risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of
the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially
delinquent. Loans graded 1 are not anticipated to be repaid in full and we
will reduce the fair market value of the loan to the amount we
anticipate will be recovered.

Consolidated
Results of Operations
The
consolidated results of operations set forth below relate to the historical
financial information prior to our election to become a business development
company and our election as a RIC. We do not believe that historical
operating performance is necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of
operations that we expect to report in future periods. Also, in
future periods the management fee that we pay to GC Advisors under the
Investment Advisory Agreement will be determined by reference to a formula that
differs materially from the management fee paid by GCMF in prior
periods. In addition, the portfolio of investments consisted
primarily of senior secured and unitranche loans as of March 31, 2010, and we
intend to pursue a strategy that is focused on unitranche, mezzanine and second
lien loans and warrants and minority equity securities. As a business
development company and a RIC, we are also subject to certain constraints on our
operations, including limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and the
Code. For the reasons described above, the results of operations
described below may not be indicative of the results we report in future
periods.

Investment
Income
Investment
income decreased by $1.3 million, or 15%, for the three months ended March 31,
2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in
investment income was primarily attributable to a decrease in invested assets
during the three months ended March 31, 2010. For the three months ended March
31, 2010, total investment income consisted of $5.9 million in interest income
from investments and $1.7 million in income from the amortization of discounts
and origination fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, total
investment income consisted of $7.6 million in interest income and $1.4 million
in income from the amortization of discounts and origination fees.
Investment
income increased by $4.2 million, or 29%, for the six months ended March 31,
2010 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in
investment income was primarily due to the realization of discounts on loans
that were paid off during the six months. For the six months ended March 31,
2010, total investment income consisted of $13.6 million in interest income from
investments and $4.9 million in income from the amortization of discounts and
origination fees. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, total investment
income consisted of $12.5 million in interest income and $1.8 million in income
from the amortization of discounts and origination fees.
Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses increased by $426,000, or 19.4%, to $2.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March
31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to non-recurring organizational costs
associated with our public offering. Management fees, which are calculated based
on invested assets, were lower in the three months ended March 31, 2010 than in
the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to a decrease in invested assets.
Following the completion of the Offering, we will pay management fees under the
Investment Advisory Agreement, which provides a different basis for the
calculation of such fees as compared to amounts paid by GCMF. Accordingly,
GCMF’s historic management fee expense amounts will not be directly comparable
to our management fee expenses in future periods.
41
Total
operating expenses increased by $307,000, or 7.7%, to $4.3 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2009.
This increase was primarily due to non-recurring organizational costs associated
with our public offering. Total management fees, which are calculated based on
invested assets, were slightly higher in the six months ended March 31, 2010 as
compared to the six months ended March 31, 2009 due to an increase in average
invested assets.
Interest
and other credit facility expenses were lower in the three and six months ended
March 31, 2010 than the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 primarily due
to lower interest expense on the Existing Credit Facility, which is calculated
as a spread over LIBOR, resulting from a decrease in the average outstanding
credit facility balance during the six months ended March 31, 2010.
Net
Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses
During
the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, we had $0 in net realized loss
and $3.7 million and $13.9 million in unrealized appreciation on 58 and 75
portfolio company investments, respectively. These amounts more than offset
unrealized depreciation on 40 and 47 portfolio company investments totaling
approximately -$1.8 million and -$12.8 million, respectively. Unrealized
appreciation during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 resulted from
an increase in fair value primarily due to the rise in market prices and a
reversal of prior period unrealized depreciation. Unrealized depreciation
resulted from a reduction in fair value primarily due to market yield
adjustments.
During
the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, we had $0 and $795,000 in net
realized loss and $5.0 million and $9.5 million in unrealized appreciation on 44
and 63 portfolio company investments, respectively. This was offset by
unrealized depreciation on 65 and 81 portfolio company investments totaling
approximately -$7.5 million and -$16.0 million, respectively. Unrealized
appreciation during the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 resulted from
an increase in fair value primarily due to the rise in market prices and a
reversal of prior period unrealized depreciation. Unrealized depreciation
resulted from a reduction in fair value primarily due to market yield
adjustments.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $58.5
million and $30.6 million, respectively. Cash provided or used by operating
activities for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $99.1 million
and -$268.9 million, respectively. Cash provided by operations resulted
primarily from income items described in “— Results of Operations” above.
As a
business development company, we will have an ongoing need to raise additional
capital for investment purposes. In the future, we expect to increase our
liquidity and raise additional capital through offerings of debt or equity
securities, sales of investments as well as borrowings under the New Credit
Facility (defined below). Since the middle of 2007, global credit and other
financial markets have suffered substantial stress, volatility, illiquidity and
disruption. These events have significantly diminished overall confidence in the
debt and equity markets and caused increasing economic uncertainty. A further
deterioration in the financial markets or a prolonged period of illiquidity
without improvement could materially impair our ability to raise equity capital
or debt capital on commercially reasonable terms.
Credit Facilities.
On July 27, 2007, GCMF entered into the Existing Credit
Facility, which matures on December 29, 2010. As a result of a series
of amendments, the Existing Credit Facility provided for potential borrowings of
up to $500.0 million. Under the terms of the Existing Credit Facility, we were
permitted to borrow up to 85% of the balances outstanding of pledged loans and
investments, depending on the mix of assets and the rating and diversification
of such assets. For advances under $300.0 million, our borrowings generally bear
interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.65% to 0.80%,
depending on the diversity of the portfolio and type of collateral then in the
portfolio. For borrowings above $300.0 million, our annual interest rate equals
LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.15% and 1.45%, also depending on the diversity
of the portfolio and the type of collateral then in the portfolio. As of March
31, 2010, and September 30, 2009, the blended interest rate payable on amounts
outstanding under the Existing Credit Facility was 1.50% and 0.93%,
respectively.
42
The
Existing Credit Facility provides for customary borrowing conditions,
restrictive covenants, events of default and remedies. It had a facility
commitment termination date of December 29, 2008. As a result, we are no longer
able to borrow under the Existing Credit Facility and are required to use all
payments of interest and principal that we receive from our current investments
as well as any proceeds received from the sale of investments, net of payment of
specified operating expenses, to repay amounts outstanding under the Existing
Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the
Existing Credit Facility had approximately $210.4 million and $315.3 million in
outstanding borrowings, respectively.
On March
15, 2010, we entered into an amendment and waiver to the Existing Credit
Facility permitting us to complete the public offering and the other
transactions. This amendment required us to repay at least $50.0 million in
outstanding borrowings under the Existing Credit Facility upon closing of the
Offering. A $50.0 million payment was made on April 20, 2010, reducing our
outstanding borrowings under the Existing Credit Facility to $147.3 million.
We
entered into a commitment letter with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., an affiliate of
the lead underwriter of our initial public offering, or Wells Fargo, on March
15, 2010 for a new credit facility, which we refer to as the New Credit
Facility. Prior to entering into the New Credit Facility, we have agreed that a
required majority (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our board of
directors will approve the New Credit Facility on the basis that (1) the terms
of the New Credit Facility, including the consideration to be paid or received,
are reasonable and fair to the shareholders of the business development company
and do not involve overreaching of us or our shareholders on the part of any
person concerned; (2) the proposed transaction is consistent with the interests
of our shareholders and is consistent with our policy set forth in filings made
by us with the SEC; and (3) the directors record in their minutes and preserve
in their records a description of the New Credit Facility, their findings, the
information or materials upon which their findings were based, and the basis for
such finding.
As
currently contemplated, we anticipate the New Credit Facility will be a
five-year facility consisting of a three-year reinvestment period and a two-year
amortization period. We expect that the interest rate will be based on LIBOR
plus a fixed margin. Similar to the Existing Credit Facility, the New Credit
Facility is expected to be secured by liens on a portion of our assets. We
expect that any security interests we grant will be set forth in a pledge and
security agreement and evidenced by the filing of financing statements by the
agent for the lenders. In addition, we expect that the custodian for the
securities serving as collateral for such loan would include in its electronic
systems notices indicating the existence of such security interests and,
following notice of the occurrence of an event of default and during its
continuance, will only accept transfer instructions with respect to any such
securities from the lender or its designee. If we default under the terms of any
debt instrument, the agent for the applicable lenders could assume control of
the disposition of any or all of our assets, including the selection of such
assets to be disposed and the timing of such disposition, which would have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows. As currently contemplated, the New Credit Facility
will provide for maximum borrowings of $175.0 million. Upon execution, we
anticipate that we will be required to pay a structuring fee of approximately
$2.6 million to Wells Fargo as well as all of the lender’s reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, including attorneys’ fees. We anticipate the terms of
the New Credit Facility will require us to (1) make representations and
warranties regarding the collateral as well as each of our businesses, (2) agree
to certain indemnification obligations and (3) comply with various covenants,
servicing procedures, limitations on acquiring and disposing of assets,
reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit
facilities. Similar to the Existing Credit Facility, the New Credit Facility is
also expected to contain customary event of default provisions covering payment
defaults, change in control transactions, and failure to comply with both
financial and operating covenants. Defaults under the New Credit Facility could
result in the entire facility becoming due and payable, which would materially
and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
43
As
currently contemplated, the closing of the New Credit Facility would be subject
to a number of customary conditions, including the concurrent retirement of the
Existing Credit Facility and negotiation of transaction documentation. On May
11, 2010, the deadline for completing transaction documentation was extended to
July 15, 2010 from June 15, 2010. If we are successful in securing the New
Credit Facility, we intend to use borrowings under the New Credit Facility to
retire all debt outstanding and terminate the Existing Credit Facility, to make
additional investments and for other general corporate purposes. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to enter into the New Credit Facility on the
terms contemplated by the commitment letter, or at all.
If we are
unable to enter into the New Credit Facility or enter into a similar facility or
we default under the Existing Credit Facility, we may be forced to sell a
portion of our investments quickly and prematurely to meet our outstanding
payment obligations under the Existing Credit Facility. If we are unable to
enter into the New Credit Facility or we default under the Existing Credit
Facility, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
On
December 23, 2009, we entered into a waiver and consent under the Existing
Credit Facility pursuant to which we were permitted to distribute investments
with a fair value and par value of approximately $13.5 million and $21.3 million
to Golub Capital BDC LLC, free and clear of liens under the Existing Credit
Facility. In January 2010, we then distributed these portfolio assets
to the three equity members of GCMF, pro rata in accordance with the ownership
interests in Golub Capital BDC LLC held by each of the equity members. The
equity members are limited liability companies affiliated with Golub
Capital. The members then made a cash contribution of $21.3 million
to us, which was subsequently contributed to GCMF.
Private Placement: On
February 5, 2010, GEMS entered into an agreement to purchase 195 limited
liability company interests in Golub Capital BDC LLC for cash, resulting in
aggregate net cash proceeds to us of $25.0 million. The private placement
settled on March 15, 2010.
On May
11, 2010, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.24 per
share payable on June 29, 2010 to holders of record as of June 22, 2010. The $0.24
dividend represents a $0.31 per share quarterly dividend prorated for the number
of days remaining in the quarter after the close of our initial public offering
on April 20, 2010.
Contractual
Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Under
the terms of the Existing Credit Facility, all outstanding borrowings
under that facility ($210.4 million as of March 31, 2010) must be repaid
on or before December 29, 2010. As part of the amendments to the Existing
Credit Facility executed on March 15, 2010, we were required to repay at
least $50.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Existing Credit
Facility upon closing of the Offering.
|
We may
become a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the
normal course of our business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio
companies. These instruments may include commitments to extend credit and
involve, to varying degrees, elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of
the amount recognized in the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2010 and September
30, 2009 we had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $19.7
million and $18.6 million, respectively. We hold as restricted cash an amount
equal to our outstanding commitments to fund investments.
We have
certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. We have
entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with GC Advisors in accordance
with the 1940 Act. The Investment Advisory Agreement became effective upon the
pricing of the initial public offering. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement,
GC Advisors has agreed to provide us with investment advisory and management
services. We have agreed to pay for these services (1) a management fee equal to
a percentage of the average adjusted value of our gross assets and (2) an
incentive fee based on our performance.
We have
also entered into the Administration Agreement with GC Service as our
administrator. The Administration Agreement became effective upon the pricing of
the initial public offering. Under the Administration Agreement, GC Service has
agreed to furnish us with office facilities and equipment, provide us clerical,
bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities and provide us with
other administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day
operations. GC Service will also provide on our behalf
significant managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are
required to provide such assistance.
If any of
the contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs under any
new agreements that we enter into may increase. In addition, we would likely
incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide
the services we expect to receive under our Investment Advisory Agreement and
our Administration Agreement. Any new investment advisory agreement would also
be subject to approval by our stockholders.
Distributions
In order
to maintain our status as a RIC and to avoid corporate level tax on the income
we distribute to our stockholders, we are required under the Code to distribute
at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in
excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to our net stockholders on an
annual basis. Additionally, we must distribute at least 98% of our net income
(both ordinary income and capital gains) to avoid a U.S. federal excise tax. We
intend to distribute quarterly dividends to our stockholders as determined by
our board of directors.
We may
not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make
distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of our distributions
from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make
distributions due to the asset coverage requirements applicable to us as a
business development company under the 1940 Act. If we do not distribute a
certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax
consequences, including the possible loss of our RIC status. We cannot assure
stockholders that they will receive any distributions.
45
To the
extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for
that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of
capital to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, the
source of a distribution to our stockholders may be the original capital
invested by the stockholder rather than our income or gains. Stockholders should
read any written disclosure accompanying a dividend payment carefully and should
not assume that the source of any distribution is our ordinary income or gains.
We have
adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As
a result, if we declare a distribution, then stockholders’ cash distributions
will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock unless
a stockholder specifically “opts out” of our dividend reinvestment
plan. If a stockholder opts out, that stockholder will receive cash
distributions. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of
our common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local
taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders participating in
our dividend reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash
distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes.
Related
Party Transactions
Prior to
the closing of our initial public offering, we entered into a number of business
relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
•
|
In
a private placement, GEMS entered into an agreement on February 5, 2010,
to purchase 195 limited liability company interests in Golub Capital BDC
LLC for cash, resulting in aggregate net cash proceeds to us of $25
million. Investors in GEMS include some employees and management of Golub
Capital and its affiliates as well as a limited number of long-time
investors in funds sponsored by affiliates of GC Advisors.
|
Concurrent
with the pricing of our initial public, we entered into a number of business
relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
•
|
We
entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with GC Advisors. Mr.
Lawrence Golub, our chairman, is a manager of GC Advisors, and David
Golub, our chief executive officer, is a manager of GC Advisors, and each
of Messrs. Lawrence Golub and David Golub owns an indirect pecuniary
interest in GC Advisors.
|
•
|
GC
Service provides us with the office facilities and administrative services
necessary to conduct day-to-day operations pursuant to our Administration
Agreement. We reimburse GC Service for the allocable portion (subject to
the review and approval of our board of directors) of overhead and other
expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the
Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated
with performing compliance functions, and our allocable portion of the
cost of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their
respective staffs.
|
•
|
We
have entered into a license agreement with Golub Capital Management LLC,
pursuant to which Golub Capital Management LLC has granted us a
non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “Golub Capital.”
|
•
|
Certain
existing investors in entities advised by affiliates of Golub Capital and
certain of our officers and directors, their immediate family members or
entities owned by, or family trusts for the benefit of, such persons
purchased in a separate private placement an aggregate of 1,322,581 shares
of common stock at the initial public offering price per share of
$14.50. We received the full proceeds from the sale of these
shares, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid in respect
of these shares.
|
46
•
|
Under
a staffing agreement (the “Staffing Agreement”) between Golub Capital
Incorporated and Golub Capital Management LLC and GC Advisors, Golub
Capital has agreed to provide GC Advisors with the resources necessary to
fulfill its obligations under the Investment Advisory
Agreement. The Staffing Agreement provides that Golub Capital
will make available to GC Advisors experienced investment professionals
and access to the senior investment personnel of Golub Capital for
purposes of evaluating, negotiating, structuring, closing and monitoring
our investments. The Staffing Agreement also includes a commitment that
the members of GC Advisors’ investment committee will serve in such
capacity. Services under the Staffing Agreement will be provided on a
direct cost reimbursement basis.
|
GC
Advisors also manages, and may in the future manage, other accounts that have
investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. GC
Advisors and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for
us and for one or more of those other accounts. In such event, depending on the
availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, and pursuant to
GC Advisors’ allocation policy, GC Advisors or its affiliates may determine that
we should invest side-by-side with one or more other accounts. We will not make
any investments if they are not permitted by applicable law and interpretive
positions of the SEC and its staff, or if they are inconsistent with GC
Advisors’ allocation procedures.
In
addition, we have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of
our and GC Advisors’ officers, directors and employees. Our officers and
directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by both the 1940 Act and the
Delaware General Corporation Law.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods
reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have
identified the following items as critical accounting policies.
Valuation
of Portfolio Investments.
We value
investments for which market quotations are readily available at their market
quotations. However, a readily available market value is not expected
to exist for many of the investments in our portfolio, and we will value these
portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of
directors under our valuation policy and process. We may seek pricing
information with respect to certain of our investments from pricing services or
brokers or dealers in order to value such investments. We will also employ
independent third party valuation firms for all of our investments for which
there is not a readily available market value.
Valuation
methods may include comparisons of financial ratios of the portfolio companies
that issued such private equity securities to peer companies that are public,
the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s
ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets
in which the portfolio company does business, and other relevant factors. When
an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent
equity sale occurs, the company will consider the pricing indicated by the
external event to corroborate the private equity valuation. 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 investments may differ
significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available
market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be
material.
47
Our board
of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value
of the portfolio investments that are not publicly traded, whose market prices
are not readily available on a quarterly basis in good faith or any other
situation where portfolio investments require a fair value determination.
With
respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available,
our board of directors will undertake a multi-step valuation process each
quarter, as described below:
•
|
Our
quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or
investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of GC
Advisors responsible for credit monitoring.
|
•
|
Preliminary
valuation conclusions are then be documented and discussed with our senior
management and GC Advisors.
|
•
|
The
audit committee of our board of directors reviews these preliminary
valuations.
|
•
|
At
least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment is
reviewed by an independent valuation firm.
|
•
|
The
board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of
each investment in our portfolio in good faith.
|
In
following these approaches, the types of factors that are taken into account in
fair value pricing investments include 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 and the markets in which it does business; comparisons of financial ratios
of peer companies that are public; comparable merger and acquisition
transactions; and the principal market and enterprise values.
Determination
of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates not verifiable by
auditing procedures. Under current auditing standards, the notes to our
financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible
effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our
consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued further guidance on improving disclosures about
fair value measurements, which is effective for interim and annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2009. We adopted this guidance,
and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition.
Our revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Investments and Related Investment
Income. We account for investment transactions on a
trade-date basis. Our board of directors determines the fair value of our
portfolio of investments. Interest is recognized on the accrual basis. For
investments with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest
accrued and added to the principal balance that generally becomes due at
maturity, we will not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation
indicates that the PIK interest is not collectible. Realized gains or losses on
investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the
disposition and the cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains
or losses previously recognized. We report changes in fair value of investments
that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on investments in our consolidated statement of
operations.
48
Non-accrual. We
place loans on non-accrual status when principal and interest payments are past
due by 90 days or more, or when there is reasonable doubt that we will collect
principal or interest. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is
placed on non-accrual. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be
recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s
judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due
principal and interest is paid and, in our management’s judgment, are likely to
remain current. The total fair value of our non-accrual loans were $0 and $8.4
million as of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.
Item
3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are
subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Many of
the loans in our portfolio have floating interest rates, and we expect that our
loans in the future will also have floating interest rates. These loans are
usually based on a floating LIBOR and typically have interest rate re-set
provisions that adjust applicable interest rates under such loans to current
market rates on a quarterly basis. In addition, the Existing Credit Facility has
a floating interest rate provision based on LIBOR which resets monthly, and we
expect that the New Credit Facility and any other credit facilities into which
we enter in the future may have floating interest rate provisions.
Assuming
that the balance sheet as of the periods covered by this analysis were to remain
constant and that Management took no actions to alter our existing interest rate
sensitivity, a hypothetical immediate 1% change in interest rates may affect net
income by more than 1% over a one-year horizon. Although our management believes
that this analysis is indicative of our existing sensitivity to interest rate
changes, it does not adjust for changes in the credit market, credit quality,
the size and composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business
developments, including borrowings that could affect net increase in net assets
resulting from operations, or net income. Accordingly, we can offer no
assurances that actual results would not differ materially from the statement
above.
We may in
the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging
instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging
activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may
also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates
with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates.
Item
4: Controls and Procedures.
As of the
period covered by this report, we, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based on
our evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective in timely alerting management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of material information about us required to be
included in our periodic SEC filings. However, in evaluating the disclosure
controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures,
no matter how well designed and operated, are based upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events and can provide only reasonable assurance
of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was
required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures. There has not been any change in our internal
controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
controls over financial reporting.

Part
II – Other Information
Item
1: Legal Proceedings.
Although
we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation arising out of our
operations in the normal course of business or otherwise, we are currently not a
party to any pending material legal proceedings.
Item
1A: Risk Factors.
In
addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully
consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our amended registration statement Form
N-2 filed with the SEC on April 14, 2010 which could materially affect our
business, financial condition and/or operating results. Additional
risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to
be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition
and/or operating results.
Item
2: Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On
February 5, 2010, Golub Capital BDC LLC sold 195 limited liability company
interests in Golub Capital BDC LLC to GEMS for cash, resulting in aggregate net
cash proceeds to Golub Capital BDC LLC of $25.0 million. No
underwriting discounts or commissions were paid in respect of these
shares. These securities were offered and sold in reliance upon an
exemption from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940
Act. On April 13, 2010, Golub Capital BDC LLC converted into a
Delaware corporation, Golub Capital BDC, Inc., and all of the outstanding
limited liability company interests in Golub Capital BDC LLC were converted into
8,984,863 shares of common stock in Golub Capital BDC, Inc.
On April
20, 2010, we sold 1,322,581 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001, in a
private placement concurrent with our initial public offering to certain
existing investors in entities advised by affiliates of Golub Capital and to
certain of our officers and directors, their immediate family members or
entities owned by, or family trusts for the benefit of, such
persons. We sold these shares at the initial public offering price of
$14.50 per share and raised $19.2 million in cash proceeds. No
underwriting discounts or commissions were paid in respect of these
shares. These securities were offered and sold in reliance upon an
exemption from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities
Act.
We intend
to use the net proceeds of the April 20, 2010 private placement and all of the
proceeds from the February 5, 2010 private placement which have not yet been
invested on the date of this report, together with the net proceeds of our
initial public offering (after expenses) to (1) repay at least $50.0 million of
the outstanding principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Existing
Credit Facility and (2) invest the balance of the net proceeds in portfolio
companies in accordance with our investment objective and the strategies
described in our amended registration statement on Form N-2, filed with the SEC
on April 14, 2010, and for general corporate purposes.
