TRIPLEPOINT VENTURE GROWTH BDC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2021
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, was formed on June 28, 2013 and commenced investment operations on March 5, 2014. The Company is structured as an externally-managed non-diversified, closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). 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”).
The Company was formed to expand the venture growth stage business segment of TriplePoint Capital LLC’s (“TPC”) investment platform. TPC is widely recognized as a leading global financing provider devoted to serving venture capital-backed companies with creative, flexible and customized debt financing, equity capital and complementary services throughout their lifespan. The Company’s investment objective is to maximize its total return to stockholders primarily in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by lending primarily with warrants to venture growth stage companies focused in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries backed by TPC’s select group of leading venture capital investors. The Company is externally managed by TriplePoint Advisers LLC (the “Adviser”), which is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of TPC. The Adviser is responsible for sourcing, reviewing and structuring investment opportunities, underwriting and performing due diligence on investments and monitoring the investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. The Adviser was organized in August 2013 and, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement entered into between the Company and the Adviser, the Company pays the Adviser a base management fee and an incentive fee for its services. The Company has also entered into an administration agreement with TriplePoint Administrator LLC (the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser, and pays separately for services provided.
The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries: TPVG Variable Funding Company LLC (the “Financing Subsidiary”), a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity established for utilizing the Company’s revolving credit facility, and TPVG Investment LLC, an entity established for holding certain of the Company’s investments in order to benefit from the tax treatment of these investments and create a tax structure that is more advantageous with respect to the Company’s RIC tax treatment. These subsidiaries are consolidated in the financial statements of the Company.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by GAAP for the annual reporting of consolidated financial statements are omitted.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary for the fair representation of financial results as of and for the periods presented have been included and all intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Certain items in the prior period’s consolidated financial statements have been conformed to the current period’s presentation. These presentation changes, if any, did not impact any prior amounts of reported total assets, total liabilities, net assets or results of operations.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 3, 2021, including the significant accounting policies described in “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included therein.
Note 3. Related Party Agreements and Transactions
Investment Advisory Agreement
In accordance with the Board approved investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), subject to the overall supervision of the Board and in accordance with the 1940 Act, the Adviser manages the day-to-day operations and provides investment advisory services to the Company. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser:
•determines the composition of the Company’s portfolio, the nature and timing of changes to the Company’s portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;
•identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of investments;
•executes, closes, services and monitors investments;

26

•determines the securities and other assets purchased, retained or sold;
•performs due diligence on prospective investments; and
•provides the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds.
As consideration for the investment advisory and management services provided, and pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Adviser a fee consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee and incentive fee is ultimately borne by the Company’s stockholders.
The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company’s average adjusted gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds. For services rendered under the Advisory Agreement, the base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of its two most recently completed calendar quarters. Such amount is appropriately adjusted (based on the actual number of days elapsed relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter) for any share issuances or repurchases during a calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial month or quarter are appropriately pro-rated.
The incentive fee, which provides the Adviser with a share of the income it generates for the Company, consists of two components—net investment income and net capital gains—which are largely independent of each other, and may result in one component being payable in a given period even if the other is not payable.
Under the investment income component, the Company pays the Adviser each quarter 20.0% of the amount by which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the quarter exceeds a hurdle rate of 2.0% (8.0% annualized) of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a “catch-up” provision pursuant to which the Adviser receives all of such income in excess of 2.0% but less than 2.5%, subject to a total return requirement. The effect of the “catch-up” provision is that, subject to the total return provision discussed below, if pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter, the Adviser receives 20.0% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income as if the 2.0% hurdle rate did not apply. The foregoing incentive fee is subject to a total return requirement, which provides that no incentive fee in respect of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income is payable except to the extent that 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC. In other words, any investment income incentive fee that is payable in a calendar quarter is limited to the lesser of (i) 20.0% of the amount by which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter exceeds the 2.0% hurdle, subject to the “catch-up” provision and (ii) (x) 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC. For the foregoing purpose, the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” is the sum of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC. The Company elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act on March 5, 2014.
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, does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital gains or losses. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that the Company may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where it incurs a loss, subject to the total return requirement described in the preceding paragraph. For example, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the quarterly minimum hurdle rate, the Company may pay the applicable income incentive fee even if it has incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and unrealized losses. The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this component of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of the Company’s assets used to calculate the 1.75% base management fee. These calculations are appropriately adjusted for any share issuance or repurchase during the relevant quarter.
Under the capital gains component of the incentive fee, the Company pays the Adviser at the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement) 20.0% of the Company’s aggregate cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of that year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement), computed net of aggregate cumulative realized capital losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized losses through the end of such year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. For the foregoing purpose, the Company’s “aggregate cumulative realized capital gains” does not include any unrealized gains. It should be noted that the Company accrues an incentive fee for accounting purposes taking into account any unrealized gains in accordance with GAAP. The capital gains component of the incentive fee is not subject to any minimum return to stockholders. If such amount is negative, then no capital gains incentive fee is payable for such year. Additionally, if the Advisory Agreement is terminated as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date will be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying the capital gains incentive fee.


27

The base management fee, income incentive fee and capital gains incentive fee earned by the Adviser are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and summarized in the table below. Base management and incentive fees are paid in the quarter following that in which they are earned. The Adviser has agreed to exclude the U.S. Treasury bills acquired at the end of each applicable quarter in the calculation of gross assets for purposes of determining its base management fee. The Company had cumulative realized and unrealized losses as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, and, as a result, no capital gains incentive fees were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Administration Agreement
The Board-approved administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) provides that the Administrator is responsible for furnishing the Company with office facilities and equipment and providing the Company with clerical, bookkeeping, recordkeeping services and other administrative services at such facilities. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or oversees, or arranges for, the performance of the Company’s required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial and other records which the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to the Company’s stockholders and reports and other materials filed with the SEC and any other regulatory authority. In addition, the Administrator assists the Company in determining and publishing net asset value (“NAV”), overseeing the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns and printing and disseminating reports and other materials to the Company’s stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also provides significant managerial assistance on the Company’s behalf to those companies that have accepted the Company’s offer to provide such assistance.
In full consideration of the provision of the services of the Administrator, the Company reimburses the Administrator for the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities under the Administration Agreement. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to the Company’s allocable portion (subject to the review of the Board) of the Administrator’s overhead resulting from its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the cost of the chief compliance officer and chief financial officer and their respective staffs. In addition, if requested to provide significant managerial assistance to the Company’s portfolio companies, the Administrator is paid an additional amount based on the services provided, which shall not exceed the amount the Company receives from such companies for providing this assistance.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, expenses paid or payable by the Company to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement were $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, expenses paid or payable by the Company to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement were $0.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
Note 4. Investments
The Company measures the fair value of its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or “ASC Topic 820,” issued by the FASB. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value 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.
The Valuation Committee of the Board is responsible for assisting the Board in valuing investments that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Board, with the assistance of the Adviser and its senior investment team and independent valuation agents, is responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value in accordance with the valuation policy approved by the Board. If more than one valuation method is used to measure fair value, the results are evaluated and weighted, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results. The Adviser considers a range of fair values based upon the valuation techniques utilized and selects a value within that range that most accurately represents fair value based on current market conditions as well as other factors the Adviser’s senior investment team considers relevant. The Board determines fair value of its investments on at least a quarterly basis or at such other times when the Board feels it would be appropriate to do so given the circumstances. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates and depends on the facts and circumstances present at each valuation date. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market value, fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.
ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below.

28

Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2—Valuations are based on quoted prices (in non-active markets or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities), observable inputs other than quoted prices and inputs that are not directly observable but are corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models incorporating significant unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models and other similar valuations techniques. The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities generally requires significant management judgment due to the inability to observe inputs to valuation.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the investment.
Under ASC Topic 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset, which may be a hypothetical market, excluding transaction costs. The principal market for any asset is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for such asset in which the reporting entity would or could sell or transfer the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to such market as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Board undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
•The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the Adviser’s professionals that are responsible for the portfolio investment;
•Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the Adviser’s senior investment team and approved by the Adviser’s executive management team;
•Each quarter, certain of the Company’s portfolio companies or investments are reviewed by an independent third-party valuation firm. At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment is reviewed by such an independent third-party valuation firm. However, the Board does not have de minimis investments of less than 1.0% of the Company’s gross assets (up to an aggregate of 10% of the Company’s gross assets) independently reviewed, given the expenses involved in connection therewith;
•The Valuation Committee of the Board then reviews these preliminary valuations and makes fair value recommendations to the Board; and
•The Board then discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser, the respective independent third-party valuation firms and the Valuation Committee.
Debt Investments
The debt investments identified on the consolidated schedules of investments are loans and equipment leases made to venture growth stage companies focused in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries which are backed by a select group of leading venture capital investors. These investments are considered Level 3 assets under ASC Topic 820 as there is no known or accessible market or market indices for these types of debt instruments and thus the Adviser’s senior management team must estimate the fair value of these investment securities based on models utilizing unobservable inputs.
To estimate the fair value of debt investments, the Company compares the cost basis of each debt investment, including any OID, to the resulting fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model, unless another model is more appropriate based on the circumstances at the measurement date. The discounted cash flow approach entails analyzing the interest rate spreads for recently completed financing transactions which are similar in nature to these debt investments, in order to determine a comparable range of effective market interest rates. The range of interest rate spreads utilized is based on borrowers with similar credit profiles. All remaining expected cash flows of the investment are discounted using this range of interest rates to determine a range of fair values for the debt investment.
The valuation process includes, among other things, evaluating the underlying investment performance of the portfolio company’s current financial condition and ability to raise additional capital, as well as macro-economic events that may impact valuations. These events include, but are not limited to, current market yields and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. Changes in these unobservable inputs could result in significantly different fair value measurements.
Under certain circumstances, an alternative technique may be used to value certain debt investments that better reflect the fair value of the investment, such as the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or a binding offer received in an arm’s length transaction, the use of multiple probability weighted cash flow models when the expected future cash flows contain elements of variability or estimates of proceeds that would be received in a liquidation scenario.


29

Warrant Investments
Warrant fair values are primarily determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model. Privately held warrants and equity-related securities are valued based on an analysis of various factors, including, but not limited to, those listed below. Increases or decreases in any of the unobservable inputs described below could result in a material change in fair value:
•Underlying enterprise value of the issuer based on available information, including any information regarding the most recent financing round of borrower. Valuation techniques to determine enterprise value include market multiple approaches, income approaches or the use of recent rounds of financing and the portfolio company’s capital structure. Valuation techniques are also utilized to allocate the enterprise fair value of a portfolio company to the specific class of common or preferred stock exercisable in the warrant. Such techniques take into account the rights and preferences of the portfolio company’s securities, expected exit scenarios, and volatility associated with such outcomes to allocate the fair value to the specific class of stock held in the portfolio. Such techniques include option pricing models, including back solve techniques, probability weighted expected return models and other techniques determined to be appropriate.
•Volatility, or the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of the changes in the warrant investment price, is based on comparable publicly traded companies within indices similar in nature to the underlying company issuing the warrant.
•The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The risk-free interest rates are calculated based on a weighted average of the risk-free interest rates that correspond closest to the expected remaining life of the warrant investment.
•Other adjustments, including a marketability discount on private company warrant investments, are estimated based on the Adviser’s judgment about the general industry environment.
•Historical portfolio experience on cancellations and exercises of warrant investments are utilized as the basis for determining the estimated life of the warrant investment in each financial reporting period. Warrant investments may be exercised in the event of acquisitions, mergers or initial public offerings, and cancelled due to events such as bankruptcies, restructuring activities or additional financings. These events cause the expected remaining life assumption to be shorter than the contractual term of the warrant investment.
Under certain circumstances alternative techniques may be used to value certain warrants that more accurately reflect the warrants' fair values, such as an expected settlement of a warrant in the near term, a model that incorporates a put feature associated with the warrant, or the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or binding offer received in an arm’s-length transaction. The fair value may be determined based on the expected proceeds to be received from such settlement or based on the net present value of the expected proceeds from the put option.
Equity Investments
The fair value of an equity investment in a privately held company is initially the amount invested. The Company adjusts the fair value of equity investments in private companies upon the completion of a new third party round of equity financing subsequent to its investment. The Company may adjust the fair value of an equity investment absent a new equity financing event based upon positive or negative changes in a portfolio company’s financial or operational performance. The Company may also reference comparable transactions and/or secondary market transactions of comparable companies to estimate fair value. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment.
The fair value of an equity investment in a publicly traded company is based upon the closing public share price on the date of measurement. These assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Investment Valuation
The above-described valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment. There is no single standard for determining the estimated fair value of investments that do not have an active observable market. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, as they are based on estimates, and their values may fluctuate over time. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market for these investments existed. In some cases, the fair value of such investments is best expressed as a range of values derived utilizing different methodologies from which a single estimate may then be determined.
Investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized in the table below based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company transfers investments in and out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 as of the beginning balance sheet date, based on changes in the use of observable and unobservable inputs utilized to perform the valuation for the period.

    Increases or decreases in any of the above unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement for such assets.
Note 5. Credit Risk
Debt investments may be affected by business, financial market or legal uncertainties. Prices of investments may be volatile, and a variety of factors that are inherently difficult to predict, such as domestic, economic and political developments, may significantly affect the value of these investments. In addition, the value of these investments may fluctuate as the general level of interest rates fluctuates.
In many instances, the portfolio company’s ability to repay the debt investments is dependent on additional funding by its venture capital investors, a future sale or an initial public offering. The value of these investments may be detrimentally affected to the extent a borrower defaults on its obligations, there is insufficient collateral and/or there are extensive legal and other costs incurred in collecting on a defaulted loan.
Note 6. Borrowings

Credit Facility
In February 2014, the Company, along with its Financing Subsidiary as borrower, entered into a credit agreement with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch acting as administrative agent and the other lenders party thereto, which provided the Company with a $150.0 million commitment, subject to borrowing base requirements (as amended and restated from time to time, the “Credit Facility”). As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $350 million in total commitments available under the Credit Facility, which includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the size of the Credit Facility to up to $400 million under certain circumstances. The revolving period under the Credit Facility expires on November 30, 2022, and the maturity date of the Credit Facility is May 31, 2024 (unless otherwise terminated earlier pursuant to its terms).
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the sum of (i) a floating rate based on certain indices, including LIBOR and commercial paper rates (subject to a floor of 0.50%), plus (ii) a margin of 2.80% if facility utilization is greater than or equal to 75%, 2.90% if utilization is greater than or equal to 50%, 3.00% if utilization is less than 50% and 4.5% during the amortization period. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured only by the assets of the Financing Subsidiary. The Company agreed to pay Deutsche Bank AG a syndication fee and to pay to Deutsche Bank AG a fee to act as administrative agent under the Credit Facility as well as to pay each lender (i) a commitment fee based on each lender’s commitment and (ii) a fee of 0.50% per annum for any unused borrowings under the Credit Facility on a monthly basis. The Credit Facility contains affirmative and restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, an advance rate limitation of 50.0% of the applicable balance of net assets held by the Financing Subsidiary, maintenance of minimum net worth, a ratio of total assets to total indebtedness of not less than the greater of 3:2 and the amount so required under the 1940 Act, a key man clause relating to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, James P. Labe, and the Company’s President and Chief Investment Officer, Sajal K. Srivastava, and eligibility requirements, including but not limited to geographic and industry concentration limitations and certain loan grade classifications. Furthermore, events of default under the Credit Facility include, among other things, (i) a payment default; (ii) a change of control; (iii) bankruptcy; (iv) a covenant default; and (v) failure by the Company to maintain its qualification as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $85.0 million and $118.0 million, respectively, excluding deferred credit facility costs of $2.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively, which is included in the Company’s consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The book value of the Credit Facility approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity, cash repayments and market interest rates of the instrument. The fair value of the Credit Facility would be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy if determined as of the reporting date.

34

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had average outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $13.6 million and $27.9 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate, inclusive of unused fees, of 4.04% and 3.87%, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had average outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $107.3 million and $180.8 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate, inclusive of unused fees, of 4.27% and 4.14%, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $275.7 million and $484.5 million, respectively, of the Company’s assets, including restricted cash, were pledged for borrowings under the Credit Facility, leaving $519.4 million and $199.0 million of assets unencumbered, respectively.
2022 Notes
On July 14, 2017, the Company completed a public offering of $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) and received net proceeds of $62.8 million after the payment of fees and offering costs. On July 24, 2017, as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional 2022 Notes, the Company issued an additional $9.75 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes and received net proceeds of $9.5 million after the payment of fees and offering costs. The interest on the 2022 Notes accrued at an annual rate of 5.75%, payable quarterly.
On March 5, 2021, the Company notified the trustee under the indenture governing the 2022 Notes of the Company’s election to redeem, in full, the $74.75 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes outstanding, and instructed the trustee to provide notice of such redemption to the holders of the 2022 Notes in accordance with the terms of the indenture. On April 5, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”), the Company redeemed the outstanding 2022 Notes in full in accordance with the terms of the governing indenture. As of the Redemption Date, the outstanding 2022 Notes had an aggregate principal amount of $74.75 million and accrued but unpaid interest of approximately $1.0 million. The 2022 Notes were delisted on the NYSE effective as of the Redemption Date. The redemption was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which resulted in a realized loss of $0.7 million.
2025 Notes
On March 19, 2020, the Company completed a private debt offering of $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.50% unsecured notes due March 19, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The interest on the 2025 Notes is payable semiannually on March 19 and September 19 each year.
The 2025 Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company’s option at par plus accrued interest to the prepayment date and, if applicable, a make-whole premium. In addition, the Company is obligated to offer to prepay the 2025 Notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date of prepayment, if certain change in control events occur. The 2025 Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company; provided, however, in the event that the Company creates, incurs, assumes or permits to exist liens on or with respect to any of its property or assets in connection with future secured indebtedness of more than an aggregate principal amount of $25 million, the 2025 Notes will generally become secured concurrently therewith, equally and ratably with such indebtedness.
The Master Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) under which the 2025 Notes were issued contains customary terms and conditions for unsecured notes issued in a private placement, including, without limitation, affirmative and negative covenants such as information reporting, maintenance of the Company’s status as a BDC within the meaning of the 1940 Act, a minimum asset coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00, and minimum stockholders’ equity of $216,129,000, as adjusted upward by an amount equal to 65% of the net proceeds from the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock subsequent to December 31, 2019. In addition, in the event that a Below Investment Grade Event (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) occurs, the 2025 Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.50% per year from the date of the occurrence of the Below Investment Grade Event to and until the date on which the Below Investment Grade Event is no longer continuing.
The Note Purchase Agreement also contains customary events of default with customary cure and notice periods, including, without limitation, nonpayment, incorrect representation in any material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default under other indebtedness of the Company or subsidiary guarantors, certain judgments and orders, certain events of bankruptcy, and breach of a key man clause relating to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, James P. Labe, and the Company’s President and Chief Investment Officer, Sajal K. Srivastava.
The 2025 Notes are recorded at amortized cost in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Amortized cost includes $0.7 million of deferred issuance cost as of September 30, 2021, which is amortized and expensed over the five-year term of the 2025 Notes based on an effective yield method. The book value of the 2025 Notes approximates fair value and would be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy if determined as of the reporting date.
2026 Notes
On March 1, 2021, the Company completed a private debt offering of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.50% unsecured notes due March 1, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The interest on the 2026 Notes is payable semiannually on March 19 and September 19 each year, beginning on September 19, 2021.

35

The 2026 Notes are governed by the terms of the First Supplement, dated as of March 1, 2021 (the “First Supplement”), to the Note Purchase Agreement. The 2026 Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company’s option at par plus accrued interest to the prepayment date and, if applicable, a make-whole premium. In addition, the Company is obligated to offer to prepay the 2026 Notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date of prepayment, if certain change in control events occur. The 2026 Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company; provided, however, in the event that the Company creates, incurs, assumes or permits to exist liens on or with respect to any of its property or assets in connection with future secured indebtedness of more than an aggregate principal amount of $25 million, the 2026 Notes will generally become secured concurrently therewith, equally and ratably with such indebtedness. In addition, in the event that a Below Investment Grade Event (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) occurs, the 2026 Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.50% per year from the date of the occurrence of the Below Investment Grade Event to and until the date on which the Below Investment Grade Event is no longer continuing. The other terms and conditions applicable to the 2026 Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement, as modified by the First Supplement, including events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, are substantially similar to the terms and conditions applicable to the 2025 Notes.
The 2026 Notes are recorded at amortized cost in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Amortized cost includes $2.0 million of deferred issuance cost as of September 30, 2021, which is amortized and expensed over the five-year term of the 2026 Notes based on an effective yield method. The book value of the 2026 Notes approximates fair value and would be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy if determined as of the reporting date.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s unfunded commitments totaled $156.6 million to 21 portfolio companies and $132.3 million to 16 portfolio companies, respectively, of which $40.8 million and $17.5 million, respectively, was dependent upon the portfolio companies reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available to them.
The Company’s credit agreements contain customary lending provisions that allow it relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences material 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.

The table above also shows the fair value of the Company’s unfunded commitment liability totaling $2.6 million and $1.7 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The fair value at the inception of the delay draw credit agreements is equal to the fees and warrants received to enter into these agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the relevant counterparty’s credit profile. The unfunded commitment liability reflects the fair value of these future funding commitments and is included in “Other accrued expenses and liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Note 10.    Equity
Since inception through September 30, 2021, the Company has issued 30,837,545 shares of common stock through an initial public offering and a concurrent private placement offering in 2014, a registered follow-on offering in 2015, a private placement offering in 2017, a registered follow-on offering and concurrent private placement offering in 2018, and a registered follow-on offering in 2020. The Company received net proceeds from these offerings of $432.9 million, net of the portion of the underwriting sales load and offering costs paid by the Company.
The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan for its stockholders, which is an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan. Under this plan, if the Company declares a cash distribution to stockholders, the amount of such distribution is automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock unless a stockholder specifically “opts out” of the dividend reinvestment plan. If a stockholder opts out, that stockholder receives cash distributions.
In October 2017, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accounts managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “GSAM Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company sold to the GSAM Purchasers an aggregate of 1,594,007 shares of the Company’s common stock in October 2017 in a private offering exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder (the “October 2017 GSAM Shares”). Subsequently, in August 2018, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the GSAM Purchasers purchased an additional 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in a private offering exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder (the “August 2018 GSAM Shares” and, together with the October 2017 GSAM Shares, the “GSAM Shares”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has granted the GSAM Purchasers certain registration rights and the related right to participate in future equity offerings conducted by the Company. Specifically, the GSAM Purchasers have the right to sell up to one-third of the total number of GSAM Shares then held by them, in the aggregate, in any underwritten offering initiated by the Company. Additionally, the GSAM Purchasers have the right at any time or from time to time to elect, in writing and pursuant to the terms of and restrictions under the Securities Purchase Agreement, to sell the GSAM Shares pursuant to an offering, including an underwritten offering or block trade, under the Company’s currently effective shelf registration statement.

Note 11. Distributions
The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code. In order to maintain its ability to be subject to tax as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of its net realized long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. Additionally, to avoid a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on certain of the Company’s undistributed income, the Company must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (a) 98% of the Company’s ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for such calendar year; (b) 98.2% of the amount by which the Company’s capital gains exceed the Company’s capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made by the Company to use its taxable year); and (c) certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax.
For the tax years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company was subject to a 4% U.S. federal excise tax and the Company may be subject to this tax in future years. In such cases, the Company is liable for the tax only on the amount by which the Company does not meet the foregoing distribution requirement. The character of income and gains that the Company distributes is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified to paid-in capital. The Company incurred a non-deductible U.S. federal excise tax of $478,000 and $259,000 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The following table shows the Company's cash distributions per share that have been authorized by the Board since the Company's initial public offering to September 30, 2021. From March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2015, and during the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, distributions represent ordinary income as the Company's earnings exceeded distributions. Approximately $0.24 per share of the distributions during the year ended December 31, 2016 represented a return of capital. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, distributions represent ordinary income and long term capital gains.

Total cash distributions$11.14 
_______________
(1)The amount of this initial distribution reflected a quarterly distribution rate of $0.30 per share, prorated for the 27 days for the period from the pricing of the Company’s initial public offering on March 5, 2014 through March 31, 2014.
(2)Represents a special distribution.
It is the Company’s intention to distribute all or substantially all of its taxable income earned over the course of the year. However, the Company may choose not to distribute all of its taxable income for a number of reasons, including retaining excess taxable income for investment purposes and/or to defer the payment of distributions associated with the excess taxable income for future calendar years. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $150,000 for an excise tax accrual. No provision for income tax was recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, total distributions of $0.36 per share and $1.08 per share, respectively, were declared and paid. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, total distributions of $0.36 per share and $1.08 per share, respectively, were declared and paid, and represented distributions from ordinary income. As of September 30, 2021, the Company estimated it had undistributed taxable earnings from net investment income (or “spillover income”) of $8.0 million, or $0.26 per share. Since March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2021, total distributions of $11.14 per share have been paid.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include statements as to:
•our and our portfolio companies’ future operating results and financial condition, including the ability of us and our portfolio companies to achieve our respective objectives;
•our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
•our relationships with third parties, including but not limited to lenders and venture capital investors, including other investors in our portfolio companies;
•the impact and timing of our unfunded commitments;
•the expected market for venture capital investments;
•the performance of our existing portfolio and other investments we may make in the future;
•the impact of investments that we expect to make;
•actual and potential conflicts of interest with TPC, the Adviser and its senior investment team and Investment Committee;
•our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
•the dependence of our future success on the U.S. and global economies, including with respect to the industries in which we invest;

•the adequacy of our available liquidity, cash resources and working capital and compliance with covenants under our borrowing arrangements; and
•the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies.
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:
•changes in laws and regulations, changes in political, economic or industry conditions, and changes in the interest rate environment or other conditions affecting the financial and capital markets, including with respect to changes resulting from or in response to, or potentially even the absence of changes as a result of, the impact of the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic;
•the length and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States as well as worldwide, and the magnitude of its impact and time required for economic recovery, including with respect to the impact of travel restrictions and other isolation and quarantine measures on the ability of the Adviser’s investment professionals to conduct in-person diligence on, and otherwise monitor, existing and future investments;
•an economic downturn and the time period required for robust economic recovery therefrom, including relating to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has already generally had a material impact on our portfolio companies’ results of operations and financial condition and will likely continue to have a material impact on our portfolio companies’ results of operations and financial condition for its duration, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition;
•a contraction of available credit, an inability or unwillingness of our lenders to fund their commitments to us and/or an inability to access capital markets or additional sources of liquidity, including as a result of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and impair our lending and investment activities;

•interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly given that 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;
•risks associated with possible disruption in our or our portfolio companies’ operations due to wars and other forms of conflict, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics; and
•the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K under Part I, Item 1A, and in our other filings with the SEC that we make from time to time.
Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include, without limitation, our ability to originate new loans and investments, borrowing costs and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our shares are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “TPVG”.
We were formed to expand the venture growth stage business segment of TPC’s investment platform. TPC is widely recognized as a leading global financing provider devoted to serving venture capital-backed companies with creative, flexible and customized debt financing, equity capital and complementary services throughout their lifespan. TPC is located on Sand Hill Road in Silicon Valley and has a primary focus in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries.
Our investment objective is to maximize our total return to stockholders primarily in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by lending primarily with warrants to venture growth stage companies focused in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries backed by TPC’s select group of leading venture capital investors.
COVID-19 Developments
The COVID-19 pandemic, and the related effect on the U.S. and global economies, including the recent economic downturn and the uncertainty associated with the timing and likelihood of economic recovery, has had adverse consequences for the business operations of some of our portfolio companies and has adversely affected, and threatens to continue to adversely affect, our operations and the operations of the Adviser.
While we have been monitoring, and continue to monitor, the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our and our portfolio companies’ business, we have continued to raise capital, maintain appropriate levels of available liquidity, support and monitor our existing portfolio companies, fund existing unfunded commitments, and selectively deploy capital in new investment opportunities in venture capital-backed companies.
We have seen, and may continue to see, certain of our portfolio companies experience financial distress and, depending on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of its disruption to operations, believe that there is an increased risk of certain of our portfolio companies defaulting on their financial obligations to us and their other capital providers. In addition, as a result of the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related disruption and financial distress, certain portfolio companies may seek to modify their loans from us, which could reduce the amount or extend the time for payment of principal, reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, and/or increase the amount of PIK interest we receive with respect to such investment, among other things. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have also impeded, and may continue to impede, the ability of certain of our portfolio companies to raise additional capital and/or pursue asset sales or otherwise execute strategic transactions, which could have a material adverse effect on the valuation of our investments in such companies. Portfolio companies operating in certain industries may be more susceptible to these risks than other portfolio companies in other industries in light of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of our portfolio companies previously took steps to significantly reduce, modify, or alter business strategies and operations, and additional portfolio companies may take similar steps if subjected to prolonged and severe financial distress, which may impair their business on a permanent basis. In addition, due to the completion of equity rounds by certain portfolio companies at lower valuations than rounds completed prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced unrealized depreciation on certain of our warrant and equity investments despite the relevant companies’ ability to mitigate disruptions on their business strategies and operations. There can be no assurance that future equity rounds completed by our portfolio companies will be at levels greater than or equal to previous rounds, which may result in net unrealized depreciation on our warrant and equity portfolio in future periods.

As of September 30, 2021, we had one portfolio company in which our investment was on non-accrual status (which was generally caused by events unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic), with an aggregate cost and fair value of $29.5 million and $14.5 million, respectively. The various effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including those discussed above, increase the risk that we will place additional investments on non-accrual status in the future. Any significant increase in aggregate unrealized depreciation of our investment portfolio or significant reductions in our net asset value as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise increases the risk of failing to meet the 1940 Act asset coverage requirements and breaching covenants under the Credit Facility, or under the governing agreements for the 2025 Notes and the 2026 Notes, or otherwise triggering an event of default under the relevant borrowing arrangement. Any such breach of covenant or event of default, if we are not able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders or debt holders, would have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. See “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for more information. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act, and we were not in breach of any covenants under the Credit Facility or under the governing agreements for the 2025 Notes or the 2026 Notes. We do not expect to breach any of these covenants in the near term assuming that conditions do not materially deteriorate further or for a prolonged period of time.
We will continue to monitor the evolving situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and related guidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities. Given the dynamic nature of this situation and the fact that there may be developments outside of our control that require us or our portfolio companies to adjust plans of operation, we cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, it could have a material adverse impact for a prolonged period of time on our future net investment income, particularly with respect to our interest income, the fair value of our portfolio investments, and the results of operations and financial condition of us and our portfolio companies. See “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in our other filings with the SEC that we make from time to time, for more information.
Portfolio Composition, Investment Activity and Asset Quality
Portfolio Composition
We originate and invest primarily in venture growth stage companies. Companies at the venture growth stage have distinct characteristics differentiating them from venture capital-backed companies at other stages in their development lifecycle. We invest primarily in (i) growth capital loans that have a secured collateral position and that are generally used by venture growth stage companies to finance their continued expansion and growth, (ii) equipment financings, which may be structured as loans or leases, that have a secured collateral position on specified mission-critical equipment, (iii) on a select basis, revolving loans that have a secured collateral position and that are typically used by venture growth stage companies to advance against inventory, components, accounts receivable, contractual or future billings, bookings, revenues, sales or cash payments and collections including proceeds from a sale, financing or the equivalent and (iv) direct equity investments in venture growth stage companies. In connection with our growth capital loans, equipment financings and revolving loans, we generally receive warrant investments that allow us to participate in any equity appreciation of our borrowers and enhance our overall investment returns.
As of September 30, 2021, we had 199 investments in 81 companies. Our investments included 77 debt investments, 82 warrant investments, and 40 direct equity and related investments. As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate cost and fair value of these investments were $741.7 million and $767.0 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, seven of our portfolio companies were publicly traded. As of September 30, 2021, the 77 debt investments had an aggregate fair value of $664.8 million and a weighted average loan to enterprise value ratio at the time of underwriting of 8.2%. Enterprise value of a portfolio company is estimated based on information available, including any information regarding the most recent rounds of equity funding, at the time of origination.
As of December 31, 2020, we had 195 investments in 69 companies. Our investments included 94 debt investments, 75 warrant investments, and 26 direct equity and related investments. As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost and fair value of these investments were $662.4 million and $633.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, one of our portfolio companies was publicly traded. As of December 31, 2020, the 94 debt investments had an aggregate fair value of $583.3 million and a weighted average loan to enterprise value ratio at the time of underwriting of 8.9%. Enterprise value of a portfolio company is estimated based on information available, including any information regarding the most recent rounds of equity funding, at the time of origination.

We may enter into commitments with certain portfolio companies that permit an increase in the commitment amount in the future in the event that conditions to such increases are met (“backlog of potential future commitments”). If such conditions to increase are met, these amounts may become unfunded commitments if not drawn prior to expiration. As of September 30, 2021, we did not have any backlog of potential future commitments. As of December 31, 2020, this backlog of potential future commitments totaled $20.8 million.
Asset Quality
Consistent with TPC’s existing policies, our Adviser maintains a credit watch list which places borrowers into five risk categories based on our Adviser’s senior investment team’s judgment, where 1 is the highest rating and all new loans are generally assigned a rating of 2.
CategoryCategory DefinitionAction Item
Clear (1)Performing above expectations and/or strong financial or enterprise profile, value or coverage.Review quarterly.
White (2)Performing at expectations and/or reasonably close to it. Reasonable financial or enterprise profile, value or coverage. Generally, all new loans are initially graded White.Contact portfolio company periodically; in no event less than quarterly.
Yellow (3)Performing generally below expectations and/or some proactive concern. Adequate financial or enterprise profile, value or coverage.Contact portfolio company monthly or more frequently as determined by our Adviser’s Investment Committee; contact venture capital investors.
Orange (4)Needs close attention due to performance materially below expectations, weak financial and/or enterprise profile, concern regarding additional capital or exit equivalent.Contact portfolio company weekly or more frequently as determined by our Adviser’s Investment Committee; contact venture capital investors regularly; our Adviser forms a workout group to minimize risk of loss.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the weighted average investment ranking of our debt investment portfolio was 1.94 and 2.13, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, portfolio company credit category changes, excluding fundings and repayments, consisted of the following: one portfolio company with a principal balance of $30.0 million was upgraded from White (2) to Clear (1), and one portfolio company with a principal balance of $32.3 million was upgraded from Yellow (3) to White (2).
Results of Operations
Comparison of operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
An important measure of our financial performance is net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and net unrealized gains (losses). Net investment income (loss) is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating expenses including interest on borrowed funds. Net realized gains (losses) on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost. Net unrealized gains (losses) on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $38.9 million, which was comprised of $9.9 million of net investment income and $29.0 million of net realized and unrealized gains. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $14.4 million, which was comprised of $12.2 million of net investment income and $2.2 million of net realized and unrealized gains. On a per share basis for the three months ended September 30, 2021, net investment income was $0.32 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was $1.26 per share, as compared to net investment income of $0.40 per share and a net increase in net assets from operations of $0.47 per share for three months ended September 30, 2020.

50

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $62.7 million, which was comprised of $28.2 million of net investment income and $34.5 million of net realized and unrealized gains. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $30.5 million, which was comprised of $36.0 million of net investment income and $5.4 million of net realized and unrealized losses. On a per share basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net investment income was $0.91 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was $2.03 per share, as compared to net investment income of $1.18 per share and a net increase in net assets from operations of $1.00 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Investment Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, total investment and other income was $21.2 million as compared to $23.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in total investment and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the 2020 period, is primarily due to a lower weighted average principal amount outstanding on our income-bearing debt investment portfolio and reduced prepayment activity.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, total investment and other income was $61.5 million as compared to $67.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in total investment and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the 2020 period, is primarily due to a lower weighted average principal amount outstanding on our income-bearing debt investment portfolio, partially offset by increased prepayment activity.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $2.5 million in other income consisting of $0.2 million due to the termination or expiration of unfunded commitments and $2.3 million from the realization of certain fees paid and accrued from portfolio companies and other income related to prepayment activity. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $3.9 million in other income consisting of $0.6 million due to the termination or expiration of unfunded commitments and $3.3 million from the realization of certain fees paid and accrued from portfolio companies and other income related to prepayment activity.
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $0.9 million in other income, consisting of $0.3 million due to the termination or expiration of unfunded commitments and $0.6 million from the realization of certain fees paid by portfolio companies and other income related to prepayment activity. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $2.0 million in other income, consisting of $1.0 million due to the termination or expiration of unfunded commitments and $1.0 million from the realization of certain fees paid by portfolio companies and other income related to prepayment activity.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses consist of our base management fee, income incentive fee, capital gains incentive fee, interest expense and amortization of fees, administration agreement expenses, and general and administrative expenses. In determining the base management fee, our Adviser has agreed to exclude U.S. Treasury bill assets acquired at the end of each applicable quarter from the calculation of the gross assets. We anticipate operating expenses will increase over time as our portfolio continues to grow. However, we anticipate operating expenses, as a percentage of totals assets and net assets, will generally decrease over time as our portfolio and capital base expand. We expect base management and income incentive fees will increase as we grow our asset base and our earnings. The capital gains incentive fee will depend on realized and unrealized gains and losses. Interest expenses will generally increase as we utilize more of the Credit Facility and issue additional debt securities, and we generally expect expenses under the administration agreement and general and administrative expenses to increase over time to meet the additional requirements associated with servicing a larger portfolio.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, total operating expenses were $11.3 million as compared to $10.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, total operating expenses were $33.3 million as compared to $31.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Base management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $3.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Base management fees decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to a decrease in the average size of our portfolio during the applicable periods used in the calculation. Base management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $9.2 million and $9.4 million, respectively. Base management fees decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to a decrease in the average size of our portfolio during the applicable periods used in the calculation.
Income incentive fees totaled $2.5 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $7.0 million and $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Income incentive fees decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, due primarily to lower total investment income for the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our income incentive fee was reduced by $2.4 million due to the total return requirement under the income component of our incentive fee structure, which resulted in a corresponding increase of approximately $2.4 million in net investment income.
There was no capital gains incentive fee expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

51

Interest expense and amortization of fees totaled $4.1 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $12.6 million and $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, is due to the issuance of the 2026 Notes, partially offset by a lower weighted-average outstanding principal balance under the Credit Facility as well as the redemption of the 2022 Notes.
Administration agreement and general and administrative expenses totaled $1.6 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, is primarily due to higher overhead allocation between periods and increased use of professional services. Administration agreement and general and administrative expenses totaled $4.4 million and $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The slight decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was primarily due to a lower allocation of administration expenses under the Administration Agreement as well as lower third-party expenses.
Net Realized Gains and Losses and Net Unrealized Gains and Losses
Realized gains and losses are included in “net realized gains (losses) on investments” in the consolidated statements of operations.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized net realized losses on investments of $3.1 million, consisting of a $2.1 million realized loss from the write-off of an equity investment and $1.0 million of realized losses from the termination of warrants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized net realized losses on investments of $18.8 million, consisting primarily of $15.6 million of realized losses from the sale of our investment in Knotel, Inc., which was rated Red (5) on our credit watch list, and its removal from our investment portfolio, a $2.1 million realized loss from the write-off of an equity investment, and $1.1 million of realized losses from the termination of warrants.
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized net realized gains on investments of $4.1 million, consisting of $6.0 million of realized gains from the sale of publicly traded shares held in CrowdStrike, Inc. and Medallia, Inc., offset by $1.9 million of realized losses from the finalization of asset sales and removal from our investment portfolio of Munchery, Inc., which was rated Red (5) on our credit watch list. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized net realized gains on investments of $4.6 million, consisting of $25.4 million of realized gains from the sale of publicly traded shares held in CrowdStrike, Inc. and Medallia, Inc., offset by $20.1 million of realized losses from the finalization of asset sales and removal from our investment portfolio of three obligors, Cambridge Broadband Network Limited, Harvest Power, Inc., and Munchery, Inc., which were rated Red (5) on our credit watch list, and $0.7 million of other net realized losses.
Unrealized gains and losses are included in “net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Net change in unrealized gains during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $32.1 million, resulting primarily of $34.3 million of net unrealized gains from fair value adjustments on our warrant and equity portfolio and the reversal of $2.2 million of previously recorded unrealized losses on investments realized during the quarter, partially offset by $4.4 million of net unrealized losses on our debt investment portfolio. Net change in unrealized gains during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $54.0 million, resulting primarily from $40.1 million of net unrealized gains from fair value adjustments on our warrant and equity portfolio, the reversal and recognition of $15.6 million of previously recorded unrealized losses associated with Knotel, Inc., the reversal of $1.9 million of previously recorded net unrealized losses on other investments realized during the period, partially offset by $3.6 million of net unrealized losses on our debt investment portfolio resulting from fair value adjustments.
Net change in unrealized losses during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $1.9 million, resulting from the reversal of $4.5 million of unrealized gains associated with the sale of shares of CrowdStrike, Inc. and Medallia, Inc, partially offset by the reversal of $1.4 million of unrealized losses associated with Munchery, Inc., which was rated Red (5) on our credit watch list, and $1.2 million of net unrealized gains from fair value adjustments. Net change in unrealized losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $10.0 million, resulting primarily from the reversal of $13.0 million of unrealized gains associated with the shares of CrowdStrike, Inc. and Medallia, Inc. sold during the period, as well as fair value adjustments, partially offset by the reversal of $19.4 million of unrealized losses associated with three obligors rated Red (5) on our credit watch list.
Net change in realized and unrealized gains or losses in subsequent periods may be volatile as such results depend on changes in the market, changes in the underlying performance of our portfolio companies and their respective industries, and other market factors.
On April 5, 2021, we redeemed the entire $74.75 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes in full. In connection with the redemption, we recognized a realized loss of $0.7 million, which is included in “net realized loss on extinguishment of debt” in the consolidated statements of operations.

Portfolio Yield and Total Return
Investment income includes interest income on our debt investments utilizing the effective yield method including cash interest income as well as the amortization of any purchase premium, accretion of purchase discount, original issue discount, facilities fees, and the amortization and payment of the end-of-term (“EOT”) payments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest income totaled $18.7 million and $57.7 million, respectively, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on total debt investments for the period held of 12.3% and 13.2%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, interest income totaled $22.2 million and $65.8 million, respectively, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on total debt investments for the period held of 14.1% and 13.4%, respectively.
We calculate weighted average annualized portfolio yields for periods shown as the annualized rates of the interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio during the period. The weighted average yields reported for these periods are annualized and reflect the weighted average yields to maturities. Should the portfolio companies choose to repay their loans earlier, our weighted average yields will increase for those debt investments affected but may reduce our weighted average yields on the remaining portfolio in future quarters.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the yield on our total debt portfolio, excluding the impact of prepayments, was 12.1% and 12.0%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the yield on our total debt portfolio, excluding the impact of prepayments, was 12.8% and 12.7%, respectively.
The following table shows the weighted average annualized portfolio yield on our total debt portfolio comprising of cash interest income, accretion of the net purchase discount, facilities fees and the value of warrant investments received, accretion of EOT payments and the accelerated receipt of EOT payments on prepayments:

(1)Weighted average portfolio yields on total debt investments for periods shown are the annualized rates of interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio during the period.
(2)The weighted average portfolio yields on total debt investments reflected above do not represent actual investment returns to our stockholders.
Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments may be higher than an investor’s yield on an investment in shares of our common stock. Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments does not reflect operating expenses that may be incurred by us and, thus, by our stockholders. In addition, our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments and total return figures disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not consider the effect of any sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock. Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments and total return figures do not represent actual investment returns to stockholders. Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments and total return figures are subject to change and, in the future, may be greater or less than the rates in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Total return based on NAV is the change in ending NAV per share plus distributions per share paid during the period assuming participation in our dividend reinvestment plan divided by the beginning NAV per share for such period. Total return based on stock price is the change in the ending stock price of our common stock plus distributions paid during the period assuming participation in our dividend reinvestment plan divided by the beginning stock price of our common stock for such period.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, our total return during the period based on the change in NAV plus distributions reinvested as of the respective distribution dates was 9.5% and 16.5%, respectively, and our total return during the period based on the change in stock price plus distributions reinvested as of the respective distribution dates was 6.8% and 31.9%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, our total return during the period based on the change in NAV plus distributions reinvested as of the respective distribution dates was 4.1% and 13.4%, respectively, and our total return during the period based on the change in stock price plus distributions reinvested as of the respective distribution dates was 11.0% and (11.5)%, respectively. These total return figures are for the periods indicated and are not annualized.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates, including with respect to the valuation of our investments, could cause actual results to differ.
Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which we use management’s judgment and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements. We describe our most significant accounting policies in “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies” in our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. Management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming the estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. We have identified the valuation of our investment portfolio, including our investment valuation policy (which has been approved by the Board), as our critical accounting policy and estimates. The critical accounting policies should be read in conjunction with our risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Investment Valuation
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Our investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 946 and measured in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or “ASC Topic 820,” issued by the FASB. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value 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. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market’s participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity-specific measure. When market assumptions are not readily available, our own assumptions are set to reflect those that the Adviser believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instruments on the measurement date.
The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a variety of factors. To the extent the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Our valuation methodology is approved by the Board, and the Board is responsible for the fair values determined. As markets change, new types of investments are made, or pricing for certain investments becomes more or less observable, management, with oversight from the Board, may refine our valuation methodologies to best reflect the fair value of our investments appropriately.
As of September 30, 2021, our investment portfolio, valued at fair value in accordance with our Board-approved valuation policy, represented approximately 96.5% of our total assets, as compared to approximately 92.7% of our total assets as of December 31, 2020.
See “Note 4. Investments” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2021 and “Note 4. Investments” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our valuation process.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents on hand, our available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility and our anticipated cash flows from operations, including from contractual monthly portfolio company payments and cash flows, prepayments, and the ability to liquidate publicly traded investments, will be adequate to meet our cash needs for our daily operations. This “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section should be read in conjunction with “COVID-19 Developments” above and the risk factors discussed below in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Cash Flows
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities, consisting primarily of purchases, sales and repayments of investments and the items described in “Results of Operations,” was $76.5 million, and net cash provided by financing activities was $54.9 million due primarily to the issuance of the 2026 Notes, partially offset by net repayments under the Credit Facility of $33.0 million, the redemption of the 2022 Notes and $34.9 million in distributions paid. As of September 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, was $23.1 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of purchases, sales and repayments of investments and the items described in “Results of Operations,” was $34.3 million, and net cash used in financing activities was $35.0 million due to net repayments under the Credit Facility of $150.3 million and $31.9 million in distributions paid, partially offset by net proceeds received from our January 2020 public follow-on offering of common stock and the issuance of the 2025 Notes in March 2020. As of September 30, 2020, cash, including restricted cash, was $25.7 million.
Capital Resources and Borrowings
As a BDC, we generally have an ongoing need to raise additional capital for investment purposes. As a result, we expect, from time to time, to access the debt and equity markets when we believe it is necessary and appropriate to do so. In this regard, we continue to explore various options for obtaining additional debt or equity capital for investments. This may include expanding or extending the Credit Facility or the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or debt securities. If we are unable to obtain leverage or raise equity capital on terms that are acceptable to us, our ability to grow our portfolio could be substantially impacted.
Credit Facility
As of September 30, 2021, we had $350 million in total commitments available under the Credit Facility, subject to various covenants and borrowing base requirements. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature, which allows us to increase the size of the Credit Facility to up to $400 million under certain circumstances. The revolving period under the Credit Facility expires on November 30, 2022, and the maturity date of the Credit Facility is May 31, 2024 (unless otherwise terminated earlier pursuant to its terms). Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the sum of (i) a floating rate based on certain indices, including LIBOR and commercial paper rates (subject to a floor of 0.50%), plus (ii) a margin of 2.80% if facility utilization is greater than or equal to 75%, 2.90% if utilization is greater than or equal to 50%, 3.00% if utilization is less than 50% and 4.5% during the amortization period. See “Note 6. Borrowings” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the terms of the Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $85.0 million and $118.0 million, respectively, excluding deferred credit facility costs of $2.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively, which is included in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. We had $265.0 million and $207.0 million of remaining capacity on our Credit Facility as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
2022 Notes
On July 14, 2017, we completed a public offering of $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes and received net proceeds of $62.8 million, after the payment of fees and offering costs. On July 24, 2017, as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional 2022 Notes, we issued an additional $9.75 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes and received net proceeds of $9.5 million, after the payment of fees and offering costs. The interest on the 2022 Notes accrued at an annual rate of 5.75%, payable quarterly.
On March 5, 2021, we notified the trustee under the indenture governing the 2022 Notes of our election to redeem, in full, the $74.75 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes outstanding, and instructed the trustee to provide notice of such redemption to the holders of the 2022 Notes in accordance with the terms of the indenture. On April 5, 2021, the entire $74.75 million aggregate principal amount of 2022 Notes was redeemed in full in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2022 Notes. In connection with the redemption, the 2022 Notes were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. The redemption was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which resulted in a realized loss of $0.7 million. See “Note 6. Borrowings” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the 2022 Notes.


55

2025 Notes
On March 19, 2020, we completed a private offering of $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes and received net proceeds of $69.1 million, after the payment of fees and offering costs. The interest on the 2025 Notes, which accrues at an annual rate of 4.50%, is payable semiannually on March 19 and September 19 each year. The maturity date of the 2025 Notes is scheduled for March 19, 2025.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we have recorded in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities our liability for the 2025 Notes, net of deferred issuance costs, of $69.3 million and $69.1 million, respectively. See “Note 6. Borrowings” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the 2025 Notes.
2026 Notes
On March 1, 2021, we completed a private offering of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes and received net proceeds of $197.9 million, after the payment of fees and offering costs. The interest on the 2026 Notes, which accrues at an annual rate of 4.50%, is payable semiannually on March 19 and September 19 each year, beginning on September 19, 2021. The maturity date of the 2026 Notes is scheduled for March 1, 2026.
As of September 30, 2021, we have recorded in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities our liability for the 2026 Notes, net of deferred issuance costs, of $198.0 million. See “Note 6. Borrowings” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the 2026 Notes.
Asset Coverage Requirements
On June 21, 2018, our stockholders voted at a special meeting of stockholders to approve a proposal to authorize us to be subject to a reduced asset coverage ratio of at least 150% under the 1940 Act. As a result of the stockholder approval at the special meeting, effective June 22, 2018, our applicable minimum asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act has been decreased to 150% from 200%. Thus, we are permitted under the 1940 Act, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of debt and one class of stock senior to our common stock if our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least equal to 150% immediately after each such issuance. As of September 30, 2021, our asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 222%.

As of September 30, 2021, our unfunded commitments to 21 companies totaled $156.6 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, $8.8 million and $55.8 million, respectively, in unfunded commitments expired or were terminated.
As of December 31, 2020, our unfunded commitments to 16 companies totaled $132.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, $160.7 million in unfunded commitments expired or were terminated.

57

Our credit agreements contain customary lending provisions that allow us relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying portfolio company experiences material adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the portfolio company. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for us. We generally expect 50% - 75% of our gross unfunded commitments to eventually be drawn before the expiration of their corresponding availability periods.
The fair value at the inception of the delay draw credit agreements with our portfolio companies is equal to the fees and/or warrants received to enter into these agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the relevant counterparty’s credit profile. The unfunded commitment liability reflects the fair value of these future funding commitments. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value for these unfunded commitments totaled $2.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and was included in “other accrued expenses and liabilities” in our consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.
Distributions
We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code. To maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of our net realized long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders. In order to avoid a non-deductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on certain of our undistributed income, we would need to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (a) 98% of our ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for such calendar year; (b) 98.2% of the amount by which our capital gains exceed our capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made by us to use our taxable year); and (c) certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax. For the tax years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we were subject to a 4% U.S. federal excise tax and we may be subject to this tax in future years. In such cases, we will be liable for the tax only on the amount by which we do not meet the foregoing distribution requirement.
To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for the year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders. Our Adviser monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a return of capital may occur for the year. We estimate the source of our distributions as required by Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act to determine whether payment of dividends are expected to be paid from any other source other than net investment income accrued for the current period or certain cumulative periods, but we will not be able to determine whether any specific distribution will be treated as made out of our taxable earnings or as a return of capital until after the end of our taxable year. Any amount treated as a return of capital will reduce a stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in his or her common stock, thereby increasing his or her potential gain or reducing his or her potential loss on the subsequent sale or other disposition of his or her common stock. On a quarterly basis, for any payment of dividends estimated to be paid from any other source other than net investment income accrued for the current period or certain cumulative periods based on the Section 19(a) requirement, we post a Section 19(a) notice through the Depository Trust Company’s Legal Notice System and our website, as well as send our registered stockholders a printed copy of such notice along with the dividend payment. The estimates of the source of the distribution are interim estimates based on GAAP that are subject to revision, and the exact character of the distributions for tax purposes cannot be determined until the final books and records are finalized for the calendar year. Therefore, these estimates are made solely in order to comply with the requirements of Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act and should not be relied upon for tax reporting or any other purposes and could differ significantly from the actual character of distributions for tax purposes.
The following table shows our cash distributions per share that have been authorized by our Board since our initial public offering to September 30, 2021. From March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2015, and during the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, distributions represent ordinary income as our earnings exceeded distributions. Approximately $0.24 per share of the distributions during the year ended December 31, 2016 represented a return of capital. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, distributions represent ordinary income and long term capital gains. Depending on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of its impact on our portfolio companies’ operations and our net investment income, any future distributions to our stockholders may be for amounts less than our historical distributions, may be made less frequently than historical practices, and may be made in part cash and part stock (as per each stockholder’s election), subject to a limitation that the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed to all stockholders must be at least 20% of the aggregate declared distribution.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference rate reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to certain contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform and became effective upon issuance for all entities. The standard is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The adoption of these rules did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recent Developments

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. We are also subject to risks relating to the capital markets; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; conditions affecting the general economy; legislative reform; and local, regional, national or global political, social or economic instability. U.S. and global capital markets and credit markets have experienced a higher level of stress due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in an increase in the level of volatility across such markets and in values of publicly-traded securities. Any continuation of the stresses on capital markets and credit markets, or a further increase in volatility could result in a contraction of available credit for us and/or an inability by us to access the equity or debt capital markets or could otherwise cause an inability or unwillingness of our lenders to fund their commitments to us, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings and in the relative values of our portfolio that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. 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 change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.
Changes in interest rates may affect both our cost of funding and our interest income from portfolio investments. Our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risk, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks. Our investment income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR and the Prime Rate, to the extent that any debt investments include floating interest rates. Debt investments are made with either floating rates that are subject to contractual minimum interest rates for the term of the investment or fixed interest rates.
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks reduced certain interest rates and LIBOR decreased. A prolonged reduction in interest rates could reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in interest rates are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over the Prime Rate that we earn on any portfolio investments, a decrease in our operating expenses or a decrease in the interest rate of our floating interest rate liabilities tied to LIBOR.
As of September 30, 2021, approximately 51.8%, or $356.3 million in principal balance, of the debt investments in our portfolio bore interest at floating rates, which generally are Prime-based and all of which have interest rate floors of 3.25% or higher. Substantially all of our unfunded commitments float with changes in the Prime Rate from the date we enter into the commitment to the date of the actual draw. In addition, our interest expense will be affected by changes in the published LIBOR rate in connection with our Credit Facility to the extent it goes above the floor; however, our 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate (subject to a 1.00% increase in the fixed rate in the event that a Below Investment Grade Event (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement (as modified by the First Supplement with respect to the 2026 Notes) occurs).
As of September 30, 2021, our floating rate borrowings totaled $85.0 million, which represented 23.9% of our outstanding debt. Due to the fact that all of our floating rate debt investments as of September 30, 2021 were subject to interest-rate floors set at or above the current Prime Rate, and our Credit Facility is subject to an interest-rate floor above the current LIBOR, increases in interest rates would increase our net investment income as the LIBOR rate tied to our interest expense is currently below the contractual floor. Similarly, a decrease in interest rates would not impact our net investment income due to the current contractual interest rate floors included in our floating rate debt investments and our Credit Facility being set as or about the current Prime Rate and LIBOR, respectively. This is illustrated in the following table which shows the annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure from the September 30, 2021 consolidated statement of assets and liabilities:

60

Down 300 basis points$— $— $— 
This analysis is indicative of the potential impact on our investment income as of September 30, 2021, assuming an immediate and sustained change in interest rates as noted. It should be noted that we anticipate growth in our portfolio funded in part with additional borrowings and such additional borrowings, all else being equal, will increase our investment income sensitivity to interest rates, and such changes could be material. In addition, this analysis does not adjust for potential changes in our portfolio or our borrowing facilities nor does it take into account any changes in the credit performance of our loans that might occur should interest rates change.
Because it is our intention to hold loans to maturity, the fluctuating relative value of these loans that may occur due to changes in interest rates may have an impact on unrealized gains and losses during quarterly reporting periods. Based on our assessment of the interest rate risk, as of September 30, 2021, we had no hedging transactions in place as we deemed the risk acceptable, and we did not believe it was necessary to mitigate this risk at that time.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We may also have exposure to foreign currencies related to certain investments. Such investments are translated into U.S. dollars based on the spot rate at the relevant balance sheet date, exposing us to movements in the exchange rate. Based on our assessment of the foreign currency exchange rate risk, as of September 30, 2021, we had no hedging transactions in place as we deemed the risk acceptable, and we did not believe it was necessary to mitigate this risk at that time.
While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements or foreign currency forward contracts, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of higher interest rates or beneficial movements in foreign currency exchange rates with respect to our portfolio investments. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively hedge our interest rate risk or foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are financial in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other factors drive our performance more directly than does inflation. Changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates do not necessarily correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2021 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer 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 recognizes 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 is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
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 quarter ended September 30, 2021 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
Neither we, the Adviser, nor our subsidiaries are currently subject to any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our businesses. We, the Adviser, and our subsidiaries may from time to time, however, be involved in litigation arising out of our operations in the normal course of business or otherwise. Furthermore, third parties may seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any current legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect any current matters will materially affect our financial condition or results of operations; however, there can be no assurance whether any pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in any future reporting period.
Item 1A.    Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks referenced below and all other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our interim financial statements and the related notes thereto, before making a decision to purchase our securities.
