SLR INVESTMENT CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
June 30, 2023
(in thousands, except share amounts)
Note 1. Organization
SLR Investment Corp. (the “Company”, “SLRC”, “we”, “us” or “our”), a Maryland corporation formed in November 2007, is a
closed-end,
externally managed,
non-diversified
management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Furthermore, as the Company is an investment company, it continues to apply the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
On February 9, 2010, the Company priced its initial public offering, selling 5.68 million shares of common stock, including the underwriters’ over-allotment, at a price of $18.50 per share. Concurrent with this offering, the Company’s senior management purchased an additional 600,000 shares through a private placement, also at $18.50 per share.
The Company’s investment objective is to maximize both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company directly and indirectly invests primarily in leveraged middle market companies in the form of senior secured loans, financing leases and to a lesser extent, unsecured loans and equity securities. From time to time, we may also invest in public companies that are thinly traded.
On April 1, 2022, we acquired SLR Senior Investment Corp., a Maryland corporation (“SUNS”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of December 1, 2021, by and among us, SUNS, Solstice Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, SLR Capital Partners, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into SUNS, with SUNS continuing as the surviving company and as SUNS’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”) and, immediately thereafter, SUNS merged with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving company (together with the Merger, the “Mergers”). In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of SUNS’s common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.7796 shares of our common stock (with SUNS’s stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock). As a result of the Mergers, we issued an aggregate of 12,511,825 shares of our common stock to former SUNS stockholders.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form
10-Q
and Regulation
S-X,
as appropriate. Accordingly, they may not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2023.

SLR INVESTMENT CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)(continued)
June 30, 2023
(in thousands, except share amounts)
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements, have been included.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Company are:
 
  (a)
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date;
 
  (b)
Under procedures established by the board of directors (the “Board”), we value investments, including certain senior secured debt, subordinated debt and other debt securities with maturities greater than 60 days, for which market quotations are readily available and deemed to represent fair value under GAAP, at such market quotations (unless they are deemed not to represent fair value). A market quotation is readily available for a security only when that quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Company can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable. If the Company anticipates using a market quotation for a security, it will also monitor for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair value, such as significant events that may cause concern over the reliability of a market quotation. We attempt to obtain market quotations from at least two brokers or dealers (if available, otherwise from a principal market maker or a primary market dealer or other independent pricing service). We utilize
mid-market
pricing as a practical expedient for fair value unless a different point within the range is more representative. If and when market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, we may utilize independent third-party valuation firms to assist us in determining the fair value of material assets. Accordingly, such investments go through our multi-step valuation process as described below. In each such case, independent valuation firms, that may from time to time be engaged by the Board, consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations. Debt investments with maturities of 60 days or less shall each be valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which is expected to approximate fair value, unless such valuation, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser, does not represent fair value, in which case such investments shall be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board. Investments that are not publicly traded or whose market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board. Such determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value under GAAP, the Board has approved a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
 
  (1)
our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for the portfolio investment;
 
  (2)
preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of the Investment Adviser;
 
  (3)
independent valuation firms engaged by the Board conduct independent appraisals and review the Investment Adviser’s preliminary valuations and make their own independent assessment for all material assets;
 
  (4)
the audit committee of the Board reviews the preliminary valuation of the Investment Adviser and that of the independent valuation firm and responds to the valuation recommendation of the independent valuation firm, if any, to reflect any comments; and
 
  (5)
the Board discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser, the respective independent valuation firm, if any, and the audit committee.
The valuation principles set forth above may be modified from time to time, in whole or in part, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Board will also (1) periodically assess and manage valuation risks; (2) establish and apply fair value methodologies; (3) test fair value methodologies; (4) oversee and evaluate third-party pricing services, as applicable; (5) oversee the reporting required by Rule
2a-5
under the 1940 Act; and (6) maintain recordkeeping requirements under Rule
2a-5.

SLR INVESTMENT CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)(continued)
June 30, 2023
(in thousands, except share amounts)
 
Investments in all asset classes are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. However, in accordance with ASC
820-10,
certain investments that qualify as investment companies in accordance with ASC 946, may be valued using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value. 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 approaches 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, 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, our principal market (as the reporting entity) 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 the six months ended June 30, 2023, there has been no change to the Company’s valuation approaches or techniques and the nature of the related inputs considered in the valuation process.
ASC Topic 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:
Level
 1
: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by the Company at the measurement date.
Level
 2
: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.
Level
 3
: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The exercise of judgment is based in part on our knowledge of the asset class and our prior experience.
 
  (c)
Gains or losses on investments are calculated by using the specific identification method.
 
  (d)
The Company records dividend income and interest, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discounts are capitalized and we amortize such amounts into income using the effective interest method. Upon the prepayment of a loan, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record call premiums received on loans repaid as interest income when we receive such amounts. Capital structuring fees, amendment fees, consent fees, and any other
non-recurring
fee income as well as a management fee and other fee income for services rendered, if any, are recorded as other income when earned.
 
  (e)
The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code pertaining to
RICs
to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it of substantially all U.S. federal income taxes. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. The Company will accrue excise tax on such estimated excess taxable income as appropriate.
 
  (f)
Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are typically reclassified among the Company’s capital accounts annually. In addition, the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP.
 
  (g)
Distributions to common stockholders are recorded as of the record date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed or deemed distributed at least annually.

  (i)
The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Company will not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations would be included with the net unrealized gain or loss from investments. The Company’s investments in foreign securities, if any, may involve certain risks, including without limitation: foreign exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic risks, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investment. In addition, changes in the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of these investments in terms of U.S. dollars and therefore the earnings of the Company.
 
  (j)
In accordance with ASC
835-30,
the Company reports origination and other expenses related to certain debt issuances as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. Applicable expenses are deferred and amortized using either the effective interest method or the straight-line method over the stated life. The straight-line method may be used on revolving facilities and/or when it approximates the effective yield method.
 
  (k)
The Company may enter into forward exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency risk. 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.
 
  (l)
The Company records expenses related to shelf registration statements and applicable equity offering costs as prepaid assets. These expenses are typically charged as a reduction of capital upon the sale of shares or expensed, in accordance with ASC
946-20-25.
 
  (m)
Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest in cash are generally placed on
non-accrual
status when principal or interest cash payments are past due 30 days or more (90 days or more for equipment financing) and/or when it is no longer probable that principal or interest cash payments will be collected. Such
non-accrual
investments are restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest are paid in cash, and in management’s judgment, are likely to continue timely payment of their remaining principal and interest obligations. Cash interest payments received on such investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending on management’s judgment.
 
  (n)
The Company defines cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only securities with a maturity of three months or less would qualify, with limited exceptions. The Company believes that certain U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities would qualify as cash equivalents.

Note 3. Agreements
The Company has an investment advisory and management agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser, under which the Investment Adviser manages the
day-to-day
operations of, and provides investment advisory services to the Company. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives a fee from the Company, consisting of two components—a base management fee and a performance-based incentive fee. The base management fee is determined by taking the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% on gross assets up to 200% of the Company’s total net assets as of the immediately preceding quarter end and 1.00% on gross assets that exceed 200% of the Company’s total net assets as of the immediately preceding quarter end. For purposes of computing the base management fee, gross assets exclude temporary assets acquired at the end of each fiscal quarter for purposes of preserving investment flexibility in the next fiscal quarter. Temporary assets include, but are not limited to, U.S. treasury bills, other short-term U.S. government or government agency securities, repurchase agreements or cash borrowings.
The performance-based incentive fee has two parts, as follows: one part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s
pre-incentive
fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose,
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 we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the performance-based incentive fee).
Pre-incentive
fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains or losses, or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
Pre-incentive
fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to the hurdle rate of 1.75% per quarter (7% annualized). The Company pays the Investment Adviser a performance-based incentive fee with respect to the Company’s
pre-incentive
fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no performance-based incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s
pre-incentive
fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate; (2) 100% of the Company’s
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
2.1875
% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s
pre-incentive
fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds
2.1875
% in any calendar quarter. These calculations are appropriately
pro-rated
for any period of less than three months.
The second part of the performance-based incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and will equal 20% of the Company’s cumulative realized capital gains less cumulative realized capital losses, unrealized capital depreciation (unrealized depreciation on a gross
investment-by-investment
basis at the end of each calendar year) and all net capital gains upon which prior performance-based capital gains incentive fee payments were previously made to the Investment Adviser. For financial statement purposes, the second part of the performance-based incentive fee is accrued based upon 20% of cumulative net realized gains and net unrealized capital appreciation. No accrual was required for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $7,878 and $15,584, respectively, in base management fees and $5,638 and $11,147, respectively, in performance-based incentive fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, $125 and $235, respectively, of such performance-based incentive fees were waived. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $6,913 and $14,129, respectively, in base management fees and $4,734 and $4,734, respectively, in gross performance-based incentive fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, $1,358 and $1,358 of such performance-based incentive fees were waived. The Investment Adviser has agreed to waive incentive fees resulting from income earned due to the accretion of purchase discount allocated to investments acquired as a result of the Mergers. Fees waived pursuant to the above are not subject to recoupment by the Investment Adviser.
The Company has also entered into an Administration Agreement with SLR Capital Management, LLC (the “Administrator”) under which the Administrator provides administrative services to the Company. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Company reimburses the Administrator for the Company’s allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent. The Administrator will also provide, on the Company’s behalf, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which the Company is required to provide such assistance. The Company typically reimburses the Administrator on a quarterly basis.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized expenses under the Administration Agreement of $1,480 and $2,988 respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized expenses under the Administration Agreement of $1,369 and $2,552 respectively. No managerial assistance fees were accrued or collected for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Note 6. Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuations used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level
 1.
 Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
Level
 2.
 Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:
 
  a)
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
 
  b)
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
non-active
markets;
 
  c)
Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
 
  d)
Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level
 3.
Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s and, if applicable, an independent third-party valuation firm’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3).
Gains and losses for assets and liabilities categorized within the Level 3 table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).
A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications involving Level 3 assets and liabilities are reported as transfers in/out of Level 3 as of the end of the quarter in which the reclassifications occur. Within the fair value hierarchy tables below, cash and cash equivalents are excluded but could be classified as Level 1.

Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The Company typically determines the fair value of its performing debt investments utilizing a yield analysis. In a yield analysis, a price is ascribed for each investment based upon an assessment of current and expected market yields for similar investments and risk profiles. Additional consideration is given to current contractual interest rates, relative maturities and other key terms and risks associated with an investment. Among other factors, a significant determinant of risk is the amount of leverage used by the portfolio company relative to the total enterprise value of the company, and the rights and remedies of our investment within each portfolio company.
Significant unobservable quantitative inputs typically used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Level 3 assets and liabilities primarily reflect current market yields, including indices, and readily available quotes from brokers, dealers, and pricing services as indicated by comparable assets and liabilities, as well as enterprise values, returns on equity and earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples of similar companies, and comparable market transactions for equity securities.
Quantitative information about the Company’s Level 3 asset and liability fair value measurements as of June 30, 2023 is summarized in the table below:

Revolving and Term Loan Facilities
On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into an assumption agreement (the “CF Assumption Agreement”), effective as of the closing of the Mergers. The CF Assumption Agreement relates to the Company’s assumption of the Revolving Credit Facility, originally entered into on August 26, 2011 (as amended from time to time, the “SPV Credit Facility”), by and among SUNS SPV LLC (the “SUNS SPV”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SUNS, acting as borrower, Citibank, N.A., acting as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other parties thereto. Currently, the commitment under the SPV Credit Facility is $225,000; however, the commitment can also be expanded up to $600,000. The stated interest rate on the SPV Credit Facility is
SOFR
plus
2.00%-2.50%
with no
SOFR
floor requirement and the current final maturity date is June 1, 2026. The SPV Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets held by SUNS SPV. Under the terms of the SPV Credit Facility and related transaction documents, the Company as successor to SUNS, and SUNS SPV, as applicable, have made certain customary representations and warranties, and are required to comply with various covenants, including leverage restrictions, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. The SPV Credit Facility also includes usual and customary events of default for credit facilities of this nature. At June 30, 2023, outstanding USD equivalent borrowings under the SPV Credit Facility totaled $167,200.
On December 28, 2021, the Company closed on Amendment No. 1 to its August 28, 2019 senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”). Following the amendment and a November 2022 upsizing, the Credit Facility is composed of $625,000 of revolving credit and $100,000 of term loans. Borrowings generally bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a range of
1.75%-2.00%
or the alternate base rate plus
0.75%-1.00%.
The Credit Facility has a 0% floor and matures in December 2026 and includes ratable amortization in the final year. The Credit Facility may be increased up to $800,000 with additional new lenders or an increase in commitments from current lenders. The Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. In addition, the Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants that among other things, requires the Company to maintain a minimum shareholder’s equity and a minimum asset coverage ratio. At June 30, 2023, outstanding USD equivalent borrowings under the Credit Facility totaled $582,000, composed of $482,000 of revolving credit and $100,000 of term loans.
Certain covenants on our issued debt may restrict our business activities, including limitations that could hinder our ability to finance additional loans and investments or to make the distributions required to maintain our status as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.
The average annualized interest cost for all borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 was 5.60% and 4.09%, respectively. These costs are exclusive of other credit facility expenses such as unused fees, agency fees and other prepaid expenses related to establishing and/or amending the Credit Facility, the SPV Credit Facility, the 2023 Unsecured Notes, the 2024 Unsecured Notes, the 2025 Unsecured Notes, the 2026 Unsecured Notes, the 2027 Unsecured Notes and the 2027 Series F Unsecured Notes (collectively the “Debt Instruments”), if any. The maximum amounts borrowed on the Debt Instruments during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 were $1,219,200 and $1,164,200, respectively.

The credit agreements of the above loan commitments contain customary lending provisions and/or are subject to the portfolio company’s achievement of certain milestones that allow relief to the Company from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had sufficient cash available and/or liquid securities available to fund its commitments and had reviewed them for any appropriate fair value adjustment.

Note 18. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.
On July 5, 2023, the Board declared a monthly distribution of $0.136667 per share payable on August 1, 2023 to holders of record as of July 20, 2023.
On August 8, 2023, the Board declared a monthly distribution of $0.136667 per share payable on August 30, 2023 to holders of record as of August 18, 2023
.
Timing of Future Distributions
Effective with the fourth quarter of 2023, SLRC’s board of directors intends to adjust the timing of declaring and paying distributions to SLRC’s shareholders from monthly to quarterly. As a result, SLRC’s management anticipates that the last monthly distribution, if declared by SLRC’s board of directors, will be for September 2023 and the next distribution after that, if declared by SLRC’s board of directors, will be a quarterly distribution for the fourth quarter of 2023. The amount and timing of past distributions are not a guarantee of any future distributions or the amount thereof. The payment, timing and amount of any future distributions will be determined by SLRC’s board of directors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
SLR Investment Corp.:
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of SLR Investment Corp. (and subsidiaries) (the Company), including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets, for the three-month and
six-month
periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the
six-month
periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Some of the statements in this report constitute forward-looking statements, which relate to future events or our future performance or financial condition. The forward-looking statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:
 
   
our future operating results, including our ability to achieve objectives;
 
   
our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
 
   
the impact of investments that we expect to make;
 
   
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
 
   
the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;
 
   
the impact of any protracted decline in the liquidity of credit markets on our business;
 
   
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
 
   
the valuation of our investments in portfolio companies, particularly those having no liquid trading market;
 
   
market conditions and our ability to access alternative debt markets and additional debt and equity capital;
 
   
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;
 
   
the ability of our investment adviser to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;
 
   
the ability of the Investment Adviser to attract and retain highly talented professionals;
 
   
the ability of the Investment Adviser to adequately allocate investment opportunities among the Company and its other advisory clients;
 
   
any conflicts of interest posed by the structure of the management fee and incentive fee to be paid to the Investment Adviser;
 
   
changes in political, economic or industry conditions, relations between the United States, Russia, Ukraine and other nations, the interest rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets;
 
   
changes in the general economy, slowing economy, rising inflation, risk of recession and risks in respect of a failure to increase the U.S. debt ceiling; and
 
   
our ability to anticipate and identify evolving market expectations with respect to environmental, social and governance matters, including the environmental impacts of our portfolio companies’ supply chain and operations.
These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:
 
   
an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies;
 
   
a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our lending and investment activities;
 
   
interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly because we use leverage as part of our investment strategy;
 
   
currency fluctuations could adversely affect the results of our investments in foreign companies, particularly to the extent that we receive payments denominated in foreign currency rather than U.S. dollars;
 
   
the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in Item 1A. — Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2022, elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
and in our other filings with the SEC.
We generally use words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including any factors set forth in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.
We have based the forward-looking statements included in this report on information available to us on the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the SEC, including any annual reports on Form
10-K,
quarterly reports on Form
10-Q
and current reports on Form
8-K.

Overview
Solar Capital LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, was formed in February 2007 and commenced operations on March 13, 2007 with initial capital of $1.2 billion of which 47.04% was funded by affiliated parties.
SLR Investment Corp. (the “Company”, “SLRC”, “we” or “our”), a Maryland corporation formed in November 2007, is a
closed-end,
externally managed,
non-diversified
management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Furthermore, as the Company is an investment company, it continues to apply the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946. In addition, for U.S federal income tax purposes, the Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
On February 9, 2010, we priced our initial public offering, selling 5.68 million shares of our common stock. Concurrent with our initial public offering, Michael S. Gross, our Chairman,
Co-Chief
Executive Officer and President, and Bruce Spohler, our
Co-Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, collectively purchased an additional 0.6 million shares of our common stock through a private placement transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
We invest primarily in privately held U.S. middle-market companies, where we believe the supply of primary capital is limited and the investment opportunities are most attractive. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in leveraged middle-market companies in the form of senior secured loans, financing leases and to a lesser extent, unsecured loans and equity securities. From time to time, we may also invest in public companies that are thinly traded. Our business is focused primarily on the direct origination of investments through portfolio companies or their financial sponsors. Our investments generally range between $5 million and $100 million each, although we expect that this investment size will vary proportionately with the size of our capital base and/or with strategic initiatives. Our investment activities are managed by SLR Capital Partners, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”) and supervised by the board of directors (the “Board)”, a majority of whom are
non-interested,
as such term is defined in the 1940 Act. SLR Capital Management, LLC (the “Administrator”) provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate.
In addition, we may invest a portion of our portfolio in other types of investments, which we refer to as opportunistic investments, which are not our primary focus but are intended to enhance our overall returns. These investments may include, but are not limited to, direct investments in public companies that are not thinly traded and securities of leveraged companies located in select countries outside of the United States.
Recent Developments
On July 5, 2023, the Board declared a monthly distribution of $0.136667 per share payable on August 1, 2023 to holders of record as of July 20, 2023.
On August 8, 2023, the Board declared a monthly distribution of $0.136667 per share payable on August 30, 2023 to holders of record as of August 18, 2023.
Timing of Future Distributions
Effective with the fourth quarter of 2023, SLRC’s board of directors intends to adjust the timing of declaring and paying distributions to SLRC’s shareholders from monthly to quarterly. As a result, SLRC’s management anticipates that the last monthly distribution, if declared by SLRC’s board of directors, will be for September 2023 and the next distribution after that, if declared by SLRC’s board of directors, will be a quarterly distribution for the fourth quarter of 2023. The amount and timing of past distributions are not a guarantee of any future distributions or the amount thereof. The payment, timing and amount of any future distributions will be determined by SLRC’s board of directors.
Investments
Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” The definition of “eligible portfolio company” includes certain public companies that do not have any securities listed on a national securities exchange and companies whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million.
Revenue
We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest and dividend income from the securities we hold and capital gains, if any, on investment securities that we may sell. Our debt investments generally have a stated term of three to seven years and typically bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”), the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), commercial paper rate, or the prime rate. Interest on our debt investments is generally payable monthly or quarterly but may be
bi-monthly
or semi-annually. In addition, our investments may provide
payment-in-kind
(“PIK”) income. Such amounts of accrued PIK income are added to the cost of the investment on the respective capitalization dates and generally become due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and, if applicable, consulting fees, etc.
 
38

Expenses
All investment professionals of the investment adviser and their respective staffs, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory and management services, and the compensation and routine overhead expenses of such personnel allocable to such services, are provided and paid for by the Investment Adviser. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including (without limitation):
 
   
the cost of our organization and public offerings;
 
   
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 our shares and other securities;
 
   
interest payable on debt, if any, to finance our investments;
 
   
fees payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, making investments, including fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of prospective investments and advisory fees;
 
   
transfer agent and custodial fees;
 
   
fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;
 
   
federal and state registration fees, any stock exchange listing fees;
 
   
federal, state and local taxes;
 
   
independent directors’ fees and expenses;
 
   
brokerage commissions;
 
   
fidelity bond, directors and officers errors and omissions liability insurance and other insurance premiums;
 
   
direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone and staff;
 
   
fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs;
 
   
costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and applicable federal and state securities laws; and
 
   
all other expenses incurred by either SLR Capital Management or us in connection with administering our business, including payments under the Administration Agreement that will be based upon our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by SLR Capital Management 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 costs of compensation and related expenses of our chief compliance officer and our chief financial officer and their respective staffs.
We expect our general and administrative operating expenses related to our ongoing operations to increase moderately in dollar terms. During periods of asset growth, we generally expect our general and administrative operating expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets and increase during periods of asset declines. Incentive fees, interest expense and costs relating to future offerings of securities, among others, may also increase or reduce overall operating expenses based on portfolio performance, interest rate benchmarks, and offerings of our securities relative to comparative periods, among other factors.

Portfolio and Investment Activity
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we invested approximately $212.9 million across 44 portfolio companies. This compares to investing, exclusive of assets acquired through the Merger, approximately $94.7 million in 29 portfolio companies for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Investments sold, prepaid or repaid during the three months ended June 30, 2023 totaled approximately $122.4 million versus approximately $78.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
At June 30, 2023, our portfolio consisted of 156 portfolio companies and was invested 33.7% in cash flow senior secured loans, 27.8% in asset-based senior secured loans / SLR Credit Solutions (“SLR Credit”) / SLR Healthcare ABL / SLR Business Credit, 22.9% in equipment senior secured financings / SLR Equipment Finance (“SLR Equipment”) / Kingsbridge Holdings, LLC (“KBH”) and 15.6% in life science senior secured loans, in each case, measured at fair value, versus 127 portfolio companies invested 30.0% in cash flow senior secured loans, 30.9% in asset-based senior secured loans / SLR Credit, 24.3% in equipment senior secured financings / SLR Equipment / KBH, and 14.8% in life science senior secured loans, in each case, measured at fair value, at June 30, 2022.
At June 30, 2023, 78.0% or $1.68 billion of our income producing investment portfolio
*
is floating rate and 22.0% or $473.9 million is fixed rate, measured at fair value. At June 30, 2022, 77.1% or $1.53 billion of our income producing investment portfolio
*
is floating rate and 22.9% or $453.7 million is fixed rate, measured at fair value. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, we had three and two issuers, respectively, on
non-accrual
status.
 
*
 
We have included SLR Credit Solutions, SLR Equipment Finance, SLR Healthcare ABL, SLR Business Credit and Kingsbridge Holdings, LLC within our income producing investment portfolio.
SLR Credit Solutions
On December 28, 2012, we acquired an equity interest in Crystal Capital Financial Holdings LLC (“Crystal Financial”) for $275 million in cash. Crystal Financial owned approximately 98% of the outstanding ownership interest in SLR Credit Solutions (“SLR Credit”), f/k/a Crystal Financial LLC. The remaining financial interest was held by various employees of SLR Credit, through their investment in Crystal Management LP. SLR Credit had a diversified portfolio of 23 loans having a total par value of approximately $400 million at November 30, 2012 and a $275 million committed revolving credit facility. On July 28, 2016, the Company purchased Crystal Management LP’s approximately 2% equity interest in SLR Credit for approximately $5.7 million. Upon the closing of this transaction, the Company holds 100% of the equity interest in SLR Credit. On September 30, 2016, Crystal Capital Financial Holdings LLC was dissolved. As of June 30, 2023, total commitments to the revolving credit facility are $300 million.
As of June 30, 2023, SLR Credit had 29 funded commitments to 25 different issuers with total funded loans of approximately $425.0 million on total assets of $443.0 million. As of December 31, 2022, SLR Credit had 29 funded commitments to 25 different issuers with total funded loans of approximately $439.5 million on total assets of $460.7 million. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the largest loan outstanding totaled $30.0 million and $33.4 million, respectively. For the same periods, the average exposure per issuer was $17.0 million and $17.6 million, respectively. SLR Credit’s credit facility, which is
non-recourse
to the Company, had approximately $216.9 million and $224.3 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, SLR Credit had net income of $6.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, on gross income of $14.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, SLR Credit had net income (loss) of ($2.9) million and $4.7 million, respectively, on gross income of $28.5 million and $13.6 million, respectively. Due to timing and
non-cash
items, there may be material differences between GAAP net income and cash available for distributions. As such, and subject to fluctuations in SLR Credit’s funded commitments, the timing of originations, and the repayments of financings, the Company cannot guarantee that SLR Credit will be able to maintain consistent dividend payments to us.
SLR Equipment Finance
On July 31, 2017, we acquired a 100% equity interest in NEF Holdings, LLC, which conducts its business through its wholly-owned subsidiary Nations Equipment Finance, LLC. Effective February 25, 2021, Nations Equipment Finance, LLC and its related companies are doing business as SLR Equipment Finance (“SLR Equipment”). SLR Equipment is an independent equipment finance company that provides senior secured loans and leases primarily to U.S. based companies. We invested $209.9 million in cash to effect the transaction, of which $145.0 million was invested in the equity of SLR Equipment through our wholly-owned consolidated taxable subsidiary NEFCORP LLC and our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary NEFPASS LLC and $64.9 million was used to purchase certain leases and loans held by SLR Equipment through NEFPASS LLC. Concurrent with the transaction, SLR Equipment refinanced its existing senior secured credit facility into a $150.0 million
non-recourse
facility with an accordion feature to expand up to $250.0 million. In September 2019, SLR Equipment amended the facility, increasing commitments to $214.0 million with an accordion feature to expand up to $314.0, million and extended the maturity date of the facility to July 31, 2023. In June 2023, the facility was amended to extend the maturity date to January 31, 2024, with updated commitments totaling $152.1 million, effective August 1, 2023.
 
40

As of June 30, 2023, SLR Equipment had 129 funded equipment-backed leases and loans to 54 different customers with a total net investment in leases and loans of approximately $197.7 million on total assets of $246.5 million. As of December 31, 2022, SLR Equipment had 131 funded equipment-backed leases and loans to 59 different customers with a total net investment in leases and loans of approximately $190.8 million on total assets of $241.8 million. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the largest position outstanding totaled $18.2 million and $19.3 million, respectively. For the same periods, the average exposure per customer was $3.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively. SLR Equipment’s credit facility, which is
non-recourse
to the Company, had approximately $124.7 million and $115.0 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, SLR Equipment had net loss of $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, on gross income of $4.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, SLR Equipment had net loss of $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, on gross income of $10.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively. Due to timing and

SLR Healthcare ABL
SUNS acquired an equity interest in SLR Healthcare ABL, f/k/a Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC (“SLR Healthcare”) on September 30, 2013. SLR Healthcare is a commercial finance company that originates, underwrites, and manages primarily secured, asset-based loans for small and
mid-sized
companies operating in the healthcare industry. SUNS initial investment in SLR Healthcare ABL was $32.8 million. The management team of SLR Healthcare

Concurrent with the closing of the transaction, SLR Healthcare entered into a new, four-year,
non-recourse,
$100 million credit facility with
non-affiliates,
which was expandable to $150 million under its accordion feature. Effective March 31, 2014, the credit facility was expanded to $105 million and again on June 27, 2014 to $110 million. On May 27, 2016, SLR Healthcare entered into a new $125 million credit facility which replaced the previously existing facility. The new facility has similar terms as compared to the previous facility and includes an accordion feature increase to $200 million and had a maturity date of May 27, 2020. On June 28, 2019, this $125 million facility was amended, extending the maturity date to June 28, 2023. On March 31, 2023, the facility was again amended, adjusting capacity to $100 million and extending the maturity date to March 31, 2026.
SLR Healthcare currently manages a highly diverse portfolio of directly-originated and underwritten senior-secured commitments.

All of the commitments in SLR Healthcare’s portfolio are floating-rate, senior-secured,
cash-pay
loans. SLR Healthcare’s credit facility, which is
non-recourse
to us, had approximately $74.9 million and $77.0 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Due to timing and
non-cash
items, there may be material differences between GAAP net income and cash available for distributions. As such, and subject to fluctuations in SLR Healthcare’s funded commitments, the timing of originations, and the repayment of financings, the Company cannot guarantee that SLR Healthcare will be able to maintain consistent dividend payments to us.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated 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. Within the context of these critical accounting policies and disclosed subsequent events herein, we are not currently aware of any other reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
In December 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule
2a-5
under the 1940 Act addressing fair valuation of fund investments. The new rule sets forth requirements for good faith determinations of fair value, as well as for the performance of fair value determinations, including related oversight and reporting obligations. The new rule also defines “readily available market quotations” for purposes of the definition of “value” under the 1940 Act, and the SEC noted that this definition will apply in all contexts under the 1940 Act. The Company complies with Rule
2a-5’s
valuation requirements.
We conduct the valuation of our assets, pursuant to which our net asset value is determined, at all times consistent with GAAP, and the 1940 Act. The Board will (1) periodically assess and manage valuation risks; (2) establish and apply fair value methodologies; (3) test fair value methodologies; (4) oversee and evaluate third-party pricing services, as applicable; (5) oversee the reporting required by Rule
2a-5
under the 1940 Act; and (6) maintain recordkeeping requirements under Rule
2a-5.
It is anticipated that in respect of many of the Company’s assets, readily available market quotations will not be obtainable and that such assets will be valued at fair value. A market quotation is readily available for a security only when that quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Company can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable. If the Company anticipates using a market quotation for a security, it will also monitor for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair value, such as significant events that may cause concern over the reliability of a market quotation.
Our valuation procedures are set forth in more detail in Note 2(b) to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
The Company records dividend income and interest, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest and/or dividends in cash are generally placed on
non-accrual
status when principal or interest/dividend cash payments are past due 30 days or more (90 days or more for equipment financing) and/or when it is no longer probable that principal or interest/dividend cash payments will be collected. Such
non-accrual
investments are restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest or dividends are paid in cash, and in management’s judgment, are likely to continue timely payment of their remaining interest or dividend obligations. Interest or dividend cash payments received on investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Some of our investments may have contractual PIK income. PIK income computed at the contractual rate, as applicable, is accrued and reflected as a receivable up to the capitalization date. PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, the Company capitalizes the accrued interest or dividends receivable (reflecting such amounts as the basis in the additional securities received). PIK generally becomes due at the maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. At the point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the PIK investment will be placed on
non-accrual
status. When a PIK investment is placed on
non-accrual
status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends is reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. The Company does not reverse previously capitalized PIK income. Upon capitalization, PIK is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. PIK investments on
non-accrual
status are restored to accrual status if the Company again believes that PIK is expected to be realized. Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discounts are capitalized and amortized into income using the effective interest method. Upon the prepayment of a loan, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and other investments as interest income when we receive such amounts. Capital structuring fees are recorded as other income when earned.
The typically higher yields and interest rates on PIK securities, to the extent we invested, reflects the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a significantly higher credit risk than coupon loans. PIK securities may have unreliable valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. PIK income has the effect of generating investment income and increasing the incentive fees payable at a compounding rate. In addition, the deferral of PIK income also increases the
loan-to-value
ratio at a compounding rate. PIK securities create the risk that incentive fees will be paid to the Investment Adviser based on
non-cash
accruals that ultimately may not be realized, but the Investment Adviser will be under no obligation to reimburse the Company for these fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, capitalized PIK income totaled $3.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, capitalized PIK income totaled $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Net Realized Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Gain or Loss
We generally 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, but considering unamortized origination or commitment fees and prepayment penalties. The net change in unrealized gain or loss reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gain or loss, when gains or losses are realized. Gains or losses on investments are calculated by using the specific identification method.
Income Taxes
SLRC, a U.S. corporation, has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for U.S. federal income taxation as a RIC, the Company is required, among other things, to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a given tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a nondeductible 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 an estimated excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results comparisons are for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022:
Investment Income
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, gross investment income totaled $56.3 million and $109.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, gross investment income totaled $42.8 million and $75.8 million, respectively. The increase in gross investment income for the year over year three month periods was primarily due to net growth of the income producing portfolio as well as an increase in index rates.
Expenses
Net expenses totaled $33.7 million and $65.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, of which $13.5 million and $26.7 million, respectively, were base management fees and performance-based incentive fees and $17.8 million and $33.1 million, respectively, were interest and other credit facility expenses. Administrative services and other general and administrative expenses totaled $2.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Over the same periods, $0.1 million and $0.2 million of performance-based incentive fees were waived. Net expenses totaled $22.5 million and $42.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, of which $11.6 million and $18.9 million, respectively, were base management fees and performance-based incentive fees and $10.4 million and $18.7 million, respectively, were interest and other credit facility expenses. Administrative services and other general and administrative expenses totaled $1.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Over the same periods, $1.4 million and $1.4 million of performance-based incentive fees were waived. Expenses generally consist of management and performance-based incentive fees, interest and other credit facility expenses, administrative services fees, insurance expenses, legal fees, directors’ fees, transfer agency fees, printing and proxy expenses, audit and tax services expenses, and other general and administrative expenses. Interest and other credit facility expenses generally consist of interest, unused fees, agency fees and loan origination fees, if any, among others. The increase in expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to higher management fees, incentive fees and interest expense on a larger portfolio resulting from the Mergers. Additionally, there was an increase in index rates on borrowings.
Net Investment Income
The Company’s net investment income totaled $22.7 million and $44.8 million, or $0.42 and $0.82, per average share, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s net investment income totaled $20.3 million and $33.8 million, or $0.37 and $0.70, per average share, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Net Realized Gain (Loss)
The Company had investment sales and prepayments totaling approximately $122 million and $267 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Net realized gains over the same periods were $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The Company had investment sales and prepayments totaling approximately $79 million and $180 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Net realized losses over the same periods were $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Net realized gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to sales of selected assets. Net realized losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were de minimis.
Net Change in Unrealized Loss
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, net change in unrealized loss on the Company’s assets totaled $4.2 million and $20.2 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, net change in unrealized loss on the Company’s assets and liabilities totaled $35.8 million and $47.9 million, respectively. Net unrealized loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to depreciation in the value of our investments in SLR Credit Solutions, among others, partially offset by appreciation in the value of our investments in World Insurance Associates, LLC, among others. Net unrealized loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to depreciation in the value of our investments in SLR Credit Solutions and AmeriMark Intermediate Holdings, LLC and, among others, partially offset by appreciation in the value of our investments in World Insurance Associates, LLC and SLR Business Credit, among others. Net unrealized loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily due to depreciation in the value of our investments in PhyMed Management LLC, Rug Doctor LLC, American Teleconferencing Services, Ltd., SLR Credit Solutions and SLR Equipment Finance, among others, partially offset by unrealized appreciation on assets acquired in the Mergers due to the accounting treatment of the purchase discount.

Cash Equivalents
We deem certain U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities as cash equivalents. The Company makes purchases that are consistent with its purpose of making investments in securities described in paragraphs 1 through 3 of Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. From time to time, including at or near the end of each fiscal quarter, we consider using various temporary investment strategies for our business. One strategy includes taking proactive steps by utilizing cash equivalents as temporary assets with the objective of enhancing our investment flexibility pursuant to Section 55 of the 1940 Act. More specifically, from time to time we may purchase U.S. Treasury bills or other high-quality, short-term debt securities at or near the end of the quarter and typically close out the position on a net cash basis subsequent to quarter end. We may also utilize repurchase agreements or other balance sheet transactions, including drawing down on the Credit Facility, as deemed appropriate. The amount of these transactions or such drawn cash for this purpose is excluded from total assets for purposes of computing the asset base upon which the management fee is determined. We held approximately $335 million in cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, we had a total of $200.8 million of unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities, subject to borrowing base limits.
Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, we are permitted, as a BDC, to issue senior securities in amounts such that our asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 150% of gross assets less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, after each issuance of senior securities. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy the asset coverage test. If that happens, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous. Also, any amounts that we use to service our indebtedness would not be available for distributions to our common stockholders. Furthermore, as a result of issuing senior securities, we would also be exposed to typical risks associated with leverage, including an increased risk of loss.
We have also entered into two contracts under which we have future commitments: the Advisory Agreement, pursuant to which the Investment Adviser has agreed to serve as our investment adviser, and the Administration Agreement, pursuant to which the Administrator has agreed to furnish us with the facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct our
day-to-day
operations and provide on our behalf managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance. Payments under the Advisory Agreement are equal to (1) a percentage of the value of our average gross assets and (2) a
two-part
incentive fee. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon our allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, technology systems, insurance and our allocable portion of the costs of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. Either party may terminate each of the Advisory Agreement and administration agreement without penalty upon 60 days written notice to the other. See note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
On July 31, 2017, the Company, NEFPASS LLC and NEFCORP LLC entered into a servicing agreement. NEFCORP LLC was engaged to provide NEFPASS LLC with administrative services related to the loans and capital leases held by NEFPASS LLC. NEFPASS LLC may terminate this agreement upon 30 days written notice to NEFCORP LLC.
On October 7, 2022, the Company committed $50 million to SSLP and entered into a servicing agreement. SSLP engaged and retained the Company to provide certain administrative services relating to the facilities, supplies and necessary ongoing overhead support services for the operation of SSLP’s ongoing business affairs in exchange for a fee.

(1)
Total amount of each class of senior securities outstanding (in thousands) at the end of the period presented.
(2)
The asset coverage ratio for a class of senior securities representing indebtedness is calculated as our consolidated total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, divided by all senior securities representing indebtedness. This asset coverage ratio is multiplied by one thousand to determine the Asset Coverage Per Unit. In order to determine the specific Asset Coverage Per Unit for each class of debt, the total Asset Coverage Per Unit is allocated based on the amount outstanding in each class of debt at the end of the period. As of June 30, 2023, asset coverage was 180.4%.
(3)
The amount to which such class of senior security would be entitled upon the involuntary liquidation of the issuer in preference to any security junior to it.
(4)
Not applicable except for the 2042 Unsecured Notes which were publicly traded. The Average Market Value Per Unit is calculated by taking the daily average closing price during the period and dividing it by twenty-five dollars per share and multiplying the result by one thousand to determine a unit price per thousand consistent with Asset Coverage Per Unit. The average market value for the fiscal 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013 periods was $100,175, $98,196, $94,301 and $93,392, respectively.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
From time to time and in the normal course of business, the Company may make unfunded capital commitments to current or prospective portfolio companies. Typically, the Company may agree to provide delayed-draw term loans or, to a lesser extent, revolving loan or equity commitments. These unfunded capital commitments always take into account the Company’s liquidity and cash available for investment, portfolio and issuer diversification, and other considerations. Accordingly, the Company had the following unfunded capital commitments at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively:
 
    
June 30, 2023
    
December 31, 2022

The Company controls the funding of the SLR Credit Solutions and SLR Healthcare commitments and may cancel them at its discretion.

In addition to the above, please see Note 17. SLR Senior Lending Program LLC herein, which describes that the Company has an equity commitment of $29.25 million in SSLP and that the Company also controls such funding. The credit agreements of the above loan commitments contain customary lending provisions and/or are subject to the portfolio company’s achievement of certain milestones that allow relief to the Company from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had sufficient cash available and/or liquid securities available to fund its commitments and had reviewed them for any appropriate fair value adjustment.
In the normal course of business, we invest or trade in various financial instruments and may enter into various investment activities with
off-balance
sheet risk, which may include forward foreign currency contracts. Generally, these financial instruments represent future commitments to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at future dates. These financial instruments contain varying degrees of
off-balance
sheet risk whereby changes in the market value or our satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. Future monthly distributions, if any, will be determined by the Board. We expect that our distributions to stockholders will generally be from accumulated net investment income, from net realized capital gains or
non-taxable
return of capital, if any, as applicable.
We have elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain our RIC tax treatment, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, out of the assets legally available for distribution. In addition, although we currently intend to distribute realized net capital gains (
i.e.
, net long-term capital gains in excess of short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually, out of the assets legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

Table of Contents
We maintain 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 they specifically “opt out” of the dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash distributions.
We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a business development company, we may in the future be limited in our ability to make distributions. Also, the Credit Facility may limit our ability to declare distributions if we default under certain provisions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of the tax benefits available to us as a RIC. In addition, in accordance with GAAP and tax regulations, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as contractual
payment-in-kind
income, which represents contractual income added to the loan balance that becomes due at the end of the loan term, or the accrual of original issue or market discount. Since we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may have difficulty meeting the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to obtain tax benefits as a RIC.
With respect to the distributions to stockholders, income from origination, structuring, closing and certain other upfront fees associated with investments in portfolio companies are treated as taxable income and accordingly, distributed to stockholders.
Related Parties
We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
 
   
We have entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Investment Adviser. Mr. Gross, our Chairman,
Co-Chief
Executive Officer and President and Mr. Spohler, our
Co-Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and board member, are managing members and senior investment professionals of, and have financial and controlling interests in, the Investment Adviser. In addition, Mr. Kajee, our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary serves as the Chief Financial Officer for the Investment Adviser.
 
   
The Administrator provides us with the office facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct
day-to-day
operations pursuant to our Administration Agreement. We reimburse the Administrator for the allocable portion 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 the compensation of our chief compliance officer, our chief financial officer and their respective staffs.
 
   
We have entered into a license agreement with the Investment Adviser, pursuant to which the Investment Adviser has granted us a
non-exclusive,
royalty-free license to use the licensed marks “SOLAR” and “SLR”.
The Investment Adviser may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. For example, the Investment Adviser presently serves as investment adviser to SCP Private Credit Income BDC LLC, an unlisted BDC that focuses on investing primarily in senior secured loans, including
non-traditional
asset-based loans and first lien loans, SLR HC BDC LLC, an unlisted BDC whose principal focus is to invest directly and indirectly in senior secured loans and other debt instruments typically to middle market companies within the healthcare industry, and SLR Private Credit BDC II LLC, an unlisted BDC focused on first lien senior secured floating rate loans. In addition, Michael S. Gross, our Chairman,
Co-Chief
Executive Officer and President, Bruce Spohler, our
Co-Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and Shiraz Kajee, our Chief Financial Officer, serve in similar capacities for SCP Private Credit Income BDC LLC, SLR HC BDC LLC and SLR Private Credit BDC II LLC. The Investment Adviser and certain investment advisory affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may determine that we should invest
side-by-side
with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, and consistent with the Investment Adviser’s allocation procedures. On June 13, 2017, the Investment Adviser received an exemptive order that permits the Company to participate in
negotiated co-investment transactions
with certain affiliates, in a manner consistent with the Company’s investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, and pursuant to various conditions (the “Order”). If the Company is unable to rely on the Order for a particular opportunity, such opportunity will be allocated first to the entity whose investment strategy is the most consistent with the opportunity being allocated, and second, if the terms of the opportunity are consistent with more than one entity’s investment strategy, on an alternating basis. Although the Investment Adviser’s investment professionals will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner, the Company and its stockholders could be adversely affected to the extent investment opportunities are allocated among us and other investment vehicles managed or sponsored by, or affiliated with, our executive officers, directors and members of the Investment Adviser.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Uncertainty with respect to the rising interest rates, inflationary pressures, risks in respect of a failure to increase the U.S. debt ceiling or a downgrade in the U.S. credit rating, the war between Ukraine and Russia and health epidemics and pandemics introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, and the effects of this volatility has materially impacted and could continue to materially impact our market risks. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. 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. In a low interest rate environment, including a reduction of LIBOR and SOFR to zero, the difference between the total interest income earned on interest earning assets and the total interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities may be compressed, reducing our net interest income and potentially adversely affecting our operating results. Conversely, in a rising interest rate environment, such as the current economic environment, such difference could potentially increase thereby increasing our net investment income. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, certain investments in our comprehensive investment portfolio had floating interest rates. These floating rate investments were primarily based on floating LIBOR or SOFR and typically have durations of one to three months after which they reset to current market interest rates. Additionally, some of these investments have floors. The Company also has revolving credit facilities that are generally based on floating SOFR. Assuming no changes to our balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and no new defaults by portfolio companies, a hypothetical one percent decrease in LIBOR and SOFR on our comprehensive floating rate assets and liabilities would decrease our net investment income by eight cents per average share over the next twelve months. Assuming no changes to our balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and no new defaults by portfolio companies, a hypothetical one percent increase in LIBOR and SOFR on our comprehensive floating rate assets and liabilities would increase our net investment income by approximately eight cents per average share over the next twelve months. However, we may hedge against interest rate fluctuations from time to time by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options, swaps and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in any benefits of certain changes in interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments. At June 30, 2023, we had no interest rate hedging instruments outstanding on our balance sheet.

We may also have exposure to foreign currencies through various investments. These investments are converted into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date, exposing us to movements in foreign exchange rates. In order to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we may borrow from time to time in such currencies under our multi-currency revolving credit facility or enter into forward currency or similar contracts.
 
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2023 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our
Co-Chief
Executive Officers 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)
of the 1934 Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the
Co-Chief
Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated 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 such possible controls and procedures.
 
56

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management has not identified any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
We and our consolidated subsidiaries are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us or our consolidated subsidiaries. From time to time, we and our consolidated subsidiaries may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
 
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in the February 28, 2023 filing of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K, which
could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes during the period ended June 30, 2023 to the risk factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in the February 28, 2023 filing of our Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or
non-performance
by financial institutions or transactional counterparties could have a material adverse effect on us, the Investment Adviser and our portfolio companies.
Cash not held in custody accounts and held by us, our Investment Adviser and by our portfolio companies in
non-interest-bearing
and interest-bearing operating accounts could, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. If such banking institutions were to fail, we, our Investment Adviser, or our portfolio companies could lose all or a portion of those amounts held in excess of such insurance limits. In addition, actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults,
non-performance
or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems, which could adversely affect our, our Investment Adviser’s and our portfolio companies’ business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects.
Although we and our Investment Adviser assess our and our portfolio companies’ banking and financing relationships as we believe necessary or appropriate, our and our portfolio companies’ access to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired by factors that affect the financial institutions with which we, our Investment Adviser or our portfolio companies have arrangements directly or the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements, disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets, or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in the financial services industry. These factors could involve financial institutions or financial services industry companies with which we, our Investment Adviser or our portfolio companies have financial or business relationships, but could also include factors involving financial markets or the financial services industry generally.
In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us, our Investment Adviser, or our portfolio companies to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all.
Our stock repurchase program could affect the price of our common stock and increase volatility and may be suspended or terminated at any time, which may result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock.
 
57

On May 9, 2023, the Board most recently extended our share repurchase program (the “Program”), under which we can repurchase up to $50 million of our outstanding common stock. Under the Program, purchases can be made at management’s discretion from time to time in open-market transactions, in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, at prices below the Company’s NAV as reported in its most recently published consolidated financial statements. We have in the past, and could in the future, enter into a plan to repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to the Program in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Rule
10b5-1
under the Exchange Act.
The Program is discretionary and whether purchases will be made under the Program and how much will be purchased at any time is uncertain and dependent on prevailing market prices and trading volumes, all of which we cannot predict. These activities could have the effect of maintaining the market price of our common stock or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of our common stock could be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. Repurchases pursuant to the Program could affect the price of our common stock and increase its volatility. The existence of the Program could also cause the price of our common stock to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for our common stock. There can be no assurance that any stock repurchases will enhance stockholder value because the market price of our common stock could decline below the levels at which we repurchased such shares. Any failure to repurchase shares after we have announced our intention to do so could negatively impact our reputation and investor confidence in us and could negatively impact our stock price. Although the Program is intended to enhance long-term stockholder value, short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the Program’s
effectiveness.
The alternative reference rates that have replaced LIBOR in our credit arrangements and other financial instruments may not yield the same or similar economic results as LIBOR over the life of such transactions.
The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is an index rate that historically was widely used in lending transactions and was a common reference rate for setting the floating interest rate on private loans. LIBOR was typically the reference rate used in floating-rate loans extended to our portfolio companies.
The ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) (the entity that is responsible for calculating LIBOR) ceased providing overnight, one, three, six and twelve months USD LIBOR tenors on June 30, 2023. In addition, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which oversees the IBA, now prohibits entities supervised by the FCA from using LIBORs, including USD LIBOR, except in very limited circumstances.
In the United States, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. SOFR is a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and is based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase transactions. SOFR is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York each U.S. Government Securities Business Day, for transactions made on the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day. Alternative reference rates that may replace LIBOR, including SOFR for USD transactions, may not yield the same or similar economic results as LIBOR over the lives of such transactions.
As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, many of our loans that referenced LIBOR have been amended to reference the forward-looking term rate published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited based on SOFR (“CME Term SOFR”) or CME Term SOFR plus a fixed spread adjustment. CME Term SOFR rates are forward-looking rates that are derived by compounding projected overnight SOFR rates over one, three, and six months taking into account the values of multiple consecutive, executed, one-month and three-month CME Group traded SOFR futures contracts and, in some cases, over-the-counter SOFR Overnight Indexed Swaps as an indicator of CME Term SOFR reference rate values. CME Term SOFR and the inputs on which it is based are derived from SOFR. Since CME Term SOFR is a relatively new market rate, there will likely be no established trading market for credit agreements or other financial instruments when they are issued, and an established market may never develop or may not be liquid. Market terms for instruments referencing CME Term SOFR rates may be lower than those of later-issued CME Term SOFR indexed instruments. Similarly, if CME Term SOFR does not prove to be widely used, the trading price of instruments referencing CME Term SOFR may be lower than those of instruments indexed to indices that are more widely used. Further, the composition and characteristics of SOFR and CME Term SOFR are not the same as those of LIBOR. Even with the application of a fixed spread adjustment, LIBOR and CME Term SOFR will not have the same composition and characteristics, and there can be no assurance that the replacement rate, as so adjusted, will be a direct substitute for LIBOR.
There can be no guarantee that SOFR will not be discontinued or fundamentally altered in a manner that is materially adverse to the interests of investors in loans referencing SOFR. If the manner in which SOFR or CME Term SOFR is calculated is changed, that change may result in a reduction of the amount of interest payable on such loans and the trading prices of the SOFR Loans. In addition, there can be no guarantee that loans referencing SOFR or CME Term SOFR will continue to reference those rates until maturity or that, in the future, our loans will reference benchmark rates other than CME Term SOFR. Should any of these events occur, our loans, and the yield generated thereby, could be affected. Specifically, the anticipated yield on our loans may not be fully realized and our loans may be subject to increased pricing volatility and market risk.
