CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report 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 or prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements include these words. 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 are difficult to predict, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.

The following factors and factors listed under “Risk Factors” in this report and other documents Crescent Capital BDC, Inc. has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. The occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this report could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial position. The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements:

 

   

uncertainty surrounding the financial stability of the United States, Europe and China;

 

   

the ability of our investment adviser to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;

 

   

potential fluctuation in quarterly operating results;

 

   

potential impact of economic recessions or downturns;

 

   

adverse developments in the credit markets;

 

   

regulations governing our operation as a business development company;

 

   

operation in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities;

 

   

changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital and net investment income;

 

   

financing investments with borrowed money;

 

   

potential adverse effects of price declines and illiquidity in the corporate debt markets;

 

   

the impact of COVID-19 on our portfolio companies and the markets in which they operate, interest rates and the economy in general;

 

   

lack of liquidity in investments;

 

   

the outcome and impact of any litigation;

 

   

the timing, form and amount of any dividend distributions;

 

   

risks regarding distributions;

 

   

potential adverse effects of new or modified laws and regulations;

 

   

the social, geopolitical, financial, trade and legal implications of Brexit;

 

   

potential resignation of the Advisor and or the Administrator;

 

   

uncertainty as to the value of certain portfolio investments;

 

   

defaults by portfolio companies;

 

   

our ability to successfully complete and integrate any acquisitions;

 

   

risks associated with original issue discount (“OID”) and payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest income; and

 

   

the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based upon are reasonable, some of those assumptions are based on the work of third parties and any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate; as a result, forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could prove to be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this report 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 report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or any other information contained herein, except as required by applicable law. You are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. The safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which preclude civil liability for certain forward-looking statements, do not apply to the forward-looking statements in this report because we are an investment company.

*

The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”), Prime (“P”) or EURIBOR (“E”) and which reset monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. For each, the Company has provided the spread over LIBOR or Prime and the current interest rate in effect at June 30, 2020. Certain investments are subject to a LIBOR or Prime interest rate floor. For fixed rate loans, a spread above a reference rate is not applicable.

**

Percentage is based on net assets of $510,298 as of June 30, 2020.

(1)

All positions held are non-controlled/non-affiliated investments, unless otherwise noted, as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). Non-controlled/non-affiliated investments are investments that are neither controlled investments nor affiliated investments.

(2)

All debt investments are income-producing, unless otherwise noted. Equity and member interests are non-income-producing unless otherwise noted. The Company generally acquires its investments in private transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Its investments are therefore generally subject to certain limitations on resale, and may be deemed to be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act.

(3)

The fair value of the investment was determined using significant unobservable inputs. See Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”.

The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”), Prime (“P”) or EURIBOR (“E”) and which reset monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. For each, the Company has provided the spread over LIBOR or Prime and the current interest rate in effect at December 31, 2019. Certain investments are subject to a LIBOR or Prime interest rate floor. For fixed rate loans, a spread above a reference rate is not applicable.

Consolidated Schedule of Investments

December 31, 2019

(in thousands except share and per share data)

 

**

Percentage is based on net assets of $406,917 as of December 31, 2019.

All positions held are non-controlled/non-affiliated investments, unless otherwise noted, as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). Non-controlled/non-affiliated investments are investments that are neither controlled investments nor affiliated investments.

All debt investments are income-producing, unless otherwise noted. Equity and member interests are non-income-producing unless otherwise noted. The Company generally acquires its investments in private transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Its investments are therefore generally subject to certain limitations on resale, and may be deemed to be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act.

(1)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Crescent Capital BDC, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on February 5, 2015 (“Inception”) as a Delaware corporation structured as an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Company commenced investment operations on June 26, 2015. On January 30, 2020, the Company changed its state of incorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Maryland. The Company has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a RIC, the Company will not be taxed on its income to the extent that it distributes such income each year and satisfies other applicable income tax requirements.

The Company’s primary investment objective is to maximize the total return to the Company’s stockholders in the form of current income and capital appreciation through debt and related equity investments. The Company will seek to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in secured debt (including senior secured, unitranche and second lien debt) and unsecured debt (including senior unsecured, mezzanine and subordinated debt), as well as related equity securities of private U.S. middle-market companies. The Company may make multiple investments in the same portfolio company. Although the Company’s focus is to invest in private credit transactions, in certain circumstances it will also invest in broadly syndicated loans and bonds.

The Company is managed by Crescent Cap Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor” and formerly, CBDC Advisors, LLC), an investment adviser that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. CCAP Administration LLC (the “Administrator” and formerly, CBDC Administration, LLC) provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate. Company management consists of investment and administrative professionals from the Advisor and Administrator along with the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Advisor directs and executes the investment operations and capital raising activities of the Company subject to oversight from the Board, which sets the broad policies of the Company. The Board has delegated investment management of the Company’s investment assets to the Advisor. The Board consists of six directors, four of whom are independent.

The Company has formed or acquired wholly owned subsidiaries that are structured as tax blockers, to hold equity or equity-like investments in portfolio companies organized as limited liability companies or other forms of pass-through entities. These corporate subsidiaries are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may incur income tax expense as a result of their ownership of portfolio companies.

On January 31, 2020, the Company completed a transaction to acquire Alcentra Capital Corporation in a cash and stock transaction (the “Alcentra Acquisition”). The Company was listed and began trading on the NASDAQ stock exchange on February 3, 2020. See “Note 13. Alcentra Acquisition” for more information.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar and these consolidated financial statements have been prepared in that currency. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to Regulation S-X.

Additionally, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial results included herein contain all adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary for the fair presentation of consolidated financial statements for the periods included herein. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year ending December 31, 2020.

The Company is an investment company and, therefore, applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for the fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Although management believes that the estimates and assumptions are reasonable, changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.

Table of Contents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments (e.g., money market funds, U.S. Treasury notes, and similar type instruments) with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents other than money market mutual funds, are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Money market mutual funds are carried at their net asset value, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash and cash equivalents consists of deposits held at Wells Fargo Bank N.A. related to the Company’s credit facility. The Company holds cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies. The Company deposits its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash with highly-rated banking corporations and, at times, cash deposits may exceed the insured limits under applicable law.

Investment Transactions

Loan originations are recorded on the date of the binding commitment. Investments purchased on a secondary market are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are recorded using the specific identification method as the difference between the net proceeds received (excluding prepayment fees, if any) and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments written off during the period, net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized gains or losses primarily reflects the change in investment fair values as of the last business day of the reporting period and also includes the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses with respect to investments realized during the period.

Investment Valuation

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at those market quotations. To validate market quotations, the Company utilizes a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, based on, among other things, the input of the Advisor, the Company’s Audit Committee and, with certain de minimis exceptions, independent third-party valuation firms engaged at the direction of the Board.

The Board oversees and supervises a multi-step valuation process, which includes, among other procedures, the following:

 

   

The valuation process begins with each investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with the portfolio management team.

   

The Advisor’s management reviews the preliminary valuations with the investment professionals. Agreed upon valuation recommendations are presented to the Audit Committee.

   

The Audit Committee reviews the valuations presented and recommends values for each investment to the Board.

   

The Board reviews the recommended valuations and determines the fair value of each investment.

The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), as amended, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company considers its principal market to be the market that has the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820 specifies a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in the determination of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these levels are summarized below:

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Investments in investment companies are valued at fair value. Fair values are generally determined utilizing the net asset value (“NAV”) supplied by, or on behalf of, management of each investment company, which is net of management and incentive fees or allocations charged by the investment company and is in accordance with the “practical expedient”, as defined by ASC 820. NAVs received by, or on behalf of, management of each investment company are based on the fair value of the investment company’s underlying investments in accordance with policies established by management of each investment company, as described in each of their financial statements and offering memorandum. Investments which are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from the above hierarchy.

 

33


Table of Contents

The Company applies the valuation policy approved by its Board that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with the valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which its investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. When a security is valued based on prices provided by reputable dealers or pricing services (that is, broker quotes), the Company subjects those prices to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a particular investment would qualify for classification as a Level 2 or Level 3 investment. For example, the Company reviews pricing methodologies provided by dealers or pricing services in order to determine if observable market information is being used, versus unobservable inputs. Some additional factors considered include the number of prices obtained as well as an assessment as to their quality. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the period in which the transfers occur.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of such investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be realized. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities and may be subject to contractual and other restrictions on resale. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected herein.

Foreign Currency

Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

   

cash and cash equivalents, fair value of investments, outstanding debt on revolving credit facilities, other assets and liabilities: at the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period; and

 

   

purchases and sales of investments, borrowings and repayments of such borrowings, income and expenses: at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, the Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held. Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions are included with net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fluctuations arising from the translation of foreign currency on cash, investments and borrowings are included with net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currency translation on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s approach to hedging the foreign currency exposure in its non-U.S. dollar denominated investments is to borrow local currency under the Company’s credit facilities or by entering into foreign currency forward contracts.

Foreign currency forward contracts

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. In a foreign currency forward contract, the Company agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market at the applicable forward rate. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities by counterparty on a net basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable. Notional amounts and the gross fair value of foreign currency forward contract assets and liabilities are presented separately on the Consolidated Schedules of Investments. Purchases and sales of foreign currency forward contracts having the same notional value, settlement date and counterparty are generally settled net (which results in a net foreign currency position of zero with the counterparty) and any realized gains or losses are recognized on the settlement date.

The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and as such, the Company recognizes its derivatives at fair value with changes in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Equity Offering and Organization Expenses

The Company agreed to repay the Advisor for initial organization costs and equity offering costs incurred prior to the commencement of its operations up to a maximum of $1,500 on a pro rata basis over the first $350,000 of invested capital not to exceed 3 years from the initial capital commitment on June 26, 2015. The initial 3 year term was later extended to June 30, 2019 with shareholder approval. To the extent such costs relate to equity offerings, these costs are charged as a reduction of capital upon the issuance of common shares. To the extent such costs relate to organization costs, these costs are expensed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon the issuance of common shares. The Advisor is responsible for organization and private equity offerings costs in excess of $1,500. During the reimbursement period which began on June 26, 2015 and expired on June 30, 2019, the Advisor had allocated to the Company $794 of equity offering costs and $568 of organization costs.

 

34


Table of Contents

Debt Issuance Costs

The Company records costs related to issuance of debt obligations as deferred financing costs. These costs are deferred and amortized using the effective yield method for revolving credit facilities, over the stated maturity life of the obligation. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were $4,504 and $3,431, respectively, of deferred financing costs netted against debt balances on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Interest and Dividend Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the amortization of purchase discounts and premiums. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted or amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion and amortization of discounts and premiums, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income.

Dividend income from preferred equity securities is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income from common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies. Each distribution received from an equity investment is evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from equity investments as dividend income unless there is sufficient current or accumulated earnings prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

Certain investments have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the loan principal or cost basis of the investment on the respective interest or dividend payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. PIK is recorded as interest or dividend income, as applicable. If at any point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. Accrued PIK interest or dividends are generally reversed through interest or dividend income, respectively, when an investment is placed on non-accrual status.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had five portfolio companies with eight investment positions on non-accrual status, which represented 3.9% and 2.4% of the total debt investments at cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had one portfolio company with three investment positions on non-accrual status, which represented 1.9% and 1.0% of the total debt investments at cost and fair value, respectively.

Other Income

Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, underwriting, arranger and prepayment fees associated with the Company’s investment activities as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Company also has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it will generally not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income or excise taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. As a result, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company represents obligations of the Company’s stockholders and will not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reversed and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 — Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements.

The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code, pertaining to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income taxes. As of June 30, 2020, the Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for returns filed for the three most recent calendar years and by state tax authorities for returns filed for the four most recent calendar years.

 

35


Table of Contents

In order for the Company not to be subject to federal excise taxes, it must distribute annually an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections), (ii) 98.2% of its net capital gains from the current year and (iii) any undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains from preceding years. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. The Company accrues excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required on a quarterly basis. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company expensed an excise tax of $105 and $342, respectively, of which $198 remained payable. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company expensed an excise tax of $0 and $0, respectively, of which $23 remained payable.

CBDC Universal Equity, Inc. and Alcentra BDC Equity Holdings, LLC are taxable entities (“Taxable Subsidiaries”). The Taxable Subsidiaries permit the Company to hold equity investments in portfolio companies which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes and continue to comply with the “source income” requirements contained in RIC tax provisions of the Code. The Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated with the Company for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities, as a result of its ownership of certain portfolio investments. The income tax expense, or benefit, if any, and related tax assets and liabilities are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a benefit/(provision) for taxes of $(193) and $262, respectively, on unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments and net operating losses and federal tax credits related to the Taxable Subsidiaries. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized a benefit/(provision) for taxes of $(31) and $(480), respectively, on unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments and net operating losses and federal tax credits related to the Taxable Subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $959 and $879, respectively, was included in deferred tax liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities primarily relating to deferred taxes on unrealized gains on investments held in the Company’s corporate subsidiaries and other temporary book to tax differences of the corporate subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $762 and $421, respectively, was included in deferred tax assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities relating to net operating loss carryforwards and unrealized losses on investments and other temporary book to tax differences that are expected to be used in future periods. A portion of the taxable subsidiaries’ net operating loss and capital loss carryovers are subject to an annual limitation use under the Code and related regulations.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no realized gains on investments requiring a recognition of a tax provision.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board each quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

The Company adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of the Company’s dividends and other distributions on behalf of the stockholders unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Company’s Board authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend, or other distribution then stockholders who are participating in the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends and distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends and distributions.

Prior to February 3, 2020, which is the date of the Company’s listing on NASDAQ, only stockholders who “opted in” to the dividend reinvestment plan had their cash dividends and distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock. After February 3, 2020, stockholders who do not “opt out” of the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends and distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The elections of stockholders that made an election prior to February 3, 2020 remain effective.

New Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU provides optional exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 is elective and can be adopted between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. The Company expects that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions

Administration Agreement

On June 2, 2015, the Company entered into the Administration Agreement with the Administrator, as amended and restated on February 1, 2020. Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides administrative services to the Company. These services include providing office space, equipment and office services, maintaining financial records, preparing reports to stockholders and reports filed with the SEC, and managing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others. Certain of these services are reimbursable to the Administrator under the terms of the Administration Agreement. In addition, the Administrator is permitted to delegate its duties under the Administration Agreement to affiliates or third parties. To the extent the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Company will pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis, without incremental profit to the Administrator. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty on 60 days’ written notice to the other party.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred administrative services expenses of $207 and $411, respectively, which are included in other general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, of which $282 was payable at June 30, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred administrative services expenses of $179 and $358, respectively, which are included in other general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, of which $255 was payable at June 30, 2019.

No person who is an officer, director or employee of the Administrator or its affiliates and who serves as a director of the Company receives any compensation from the Company for his or her services as a director. However, the Company reimburses the Administrator (or its affiliates) for an allocable portion of the compensation paid by the Administrator or its affiliates to the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer, legal counsel, and other professionals who spend time on such related activities (based on the percentage of time those individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the business and affairs of the Company). The allocable portion of the compensation for these officers and other professionals are included in the administration expenses paid to Administrator. Directors who are not affiliated with the Administrator or its affiliates receive compensation for their services and reimbursement of expenses incurred to attend meetings, which are included as directors’ fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On June 5, 2015, the Company entered into sub-administration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) to perform certain administrative, custodian and other services on behalf of the Company. The sub-administration agreement with SSB had an initial term of three years ending June 5, 2018 and shall automatically renew for 1-year terms unless a written notice of non-renewal is delivered by the Company or SSB. The Company does not reimburse the Administrator for any services for which it pays a separate sub-administrator and custodian fee to SSB. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred expenses of $293 and $606, respectively, which are included in other general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, under the terms of the sub-administration agreements, of which $293 was payable at June 30, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred expenses of $233 and $453, respectively, which are included in other general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, under the terms of the sub-administration agreements, of which $233 was payable at June 30, 2019.

Investment Advisory Agreement

On June 2, 2015, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), which was subsequently replaced by the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (together with the Investment Advisory Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on January 29, 2020 in connection with the Alcentra Acquisition. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor will provide investment advisory services to the Company and its portfolio investments. The Advisor’s services under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and the Advisor is free to furnish similar or other services to others so long as its services to the Company are not impaired. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreements, the Advisor is entitled to receive a base management fee and may also receive incentive fees, as discussed below.

Base Management Fee (prior to February 1, 2020)

Prior to February 1, 2020, pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Company’s gross assets, including assets acquired through the incurrence of debt but excluding any cash and cash equivalents. The base management fee was calculated based on the average value of gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor agreed to waive its right to receive management fees in excess of the sum of (i) 0.25% of the aggregate committed but undrawn capital and (ii) 0.75% of the aggregate gross assets excluding cash and cash equivalents (including capital drawn to pay the Company’s expenses) during the period prior to February 3, 2020, the date of the Company’s qualified initial public offering, as defined by the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Qualified IPO”). The listing of the Company’s Common Stock on NASDAQ on February 3, 2020 qualified as a Qualified IPO. The Advisor is not permitted to recoup any waived amounts at any time.

New Base Management Fee (effective February 1, 2020)

Effective February 1, 2020, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Company’s gross assets, including assets acquired through the incurrence of debt but excluding any cash and cash equivalents. The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter.

Table of Contents

In addition, under the terms of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, the Advisor agreed to waive a portion of the management fee from February 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021 after the closing of the Alcentra Acquisition so that only 0.75% shall be charged for such time period. The Advisor is not permitted to recoup any waived amounts at any time.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred management fees of $1,660 and $3,154, respectively, which are net of waived amounts, of $1,107 and $2,264, respectively, of which $1,660 was payable at June 30, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred management fees of $1,116 and $2,103, respectively, which are net of waived amounts, of $1,044 and $1,947 respectively, of which $1,116 was payable at June 30, 2019.

The Advisor has voluntarily waived its right to receive management fees on the Company’s investment in GACP II LP for any period in which GACP II LP remains in the investment portfolio. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, $40 and $77, respectively, of management fees waived were attributable to the Company’s investment in GACP II LP. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, $34 and $66, respectively, of management fees waived were attributable to the Company’s investment in GACP II LP. These amounts are excluded from the management fee waived amounts above.

Incentive Fee (prior to February 1, 2020)

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Incentive Fee consisted of two parts. The first part, the income incentive fee, was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equaled (a) 100% of the excess of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, over a preferred return of 1.5% per quarter (6.0% annualized) (the “Hurdle”), and a catch-up feature until the Advisor received 15% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the current quarter up to 1.7647% (the “Catch-up”), and (b) 15% of all remaining pre-incentive fee net investment income above the “Catch-up.”

The second part, the capital gains incentive fee, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year at a rate of 15.0% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from Inception through the end of the fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees.

At the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, in connection with the extension of the deadline to consummate a Qualified IPO, the Advisor agreed to waive its rights under the Investment Advisory Agreement to (i) the income incentive fee and (ii) the capital gain incentive fee for the period from April 1, 2018 through February 1, 2020.

Incentive Fee (effective February 1, 2020)

Under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, the Incentive Fee consists of two parts. The first part, the income incentive fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and (a) equals 100% of the excess of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, over a preferred return of 1.75% per quarter (7.0% annualized) (the “Hurdle”), and a catch-up feature until the Advisor has received 17.5%, of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the current quarter up to 2.1212% (the “Catch-up”), and (b) 17.5% of all remaining pre-incentive fee net investment income above the “Catch-up.”

In addition, under the terms of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor agreed to waive the income based portion of the incentive fee from February 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021. Once the Advisor begins to earn income incentive fees, the Advisor will voluntarily waive the income incentive fees attributable to the investment income accrued by the Company as a result of its investment in GACP II. The second part, the capital gains incentive fee, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year at a rate of 17.5% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from Inception through the end of the fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. Since the Qualified IPO occurred on a date other than the first day of a calendar quarter, the income incentive fee shall be calculated for such calendar quarter at a weighted rate calculated based on the fee rates applicable before and after a Qualified IPO based on the number of days in such calendar quarter before and after the Qualified IPO. For the avoidance of doubt, such capital gains incentive fee shall be equal to 15.0% of the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from Inception through the day before the Qualified IPO, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. Following the Qualified IPO, solely for the purposes of calculating the capital gains incentive fee, the Company will be deemed to have previously paid capital gains incentive fees prior to a Qualified IPO equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the actual aggregate amount of previously paid capital gains incentive fees for all periods prior to the Qualified IPO by (b) the percentage obtained by dividing (x) 17.5% by (y) 15.0%. In the event that the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement shall terminate as of a date that is not a fiscal year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a fiscal year end for purposes of calculating and paying a capital gains incentive fee.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during each calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for such quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding debt or preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as market discount, original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income will be compared to a “Hurdle Amount” equal to the product of (i) the Hurdle rate of 1.50% or 1.75% per quarter, 6.00% or 7.00% annualized, prior to and effective February 1, 2020, respectively, and (ii) the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness, before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period), at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a “catch-up” provision incurred at the end of each calendar quarter.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred income incentive fees of $0 and $0, respectively, which are net of waived amounts, of $2,267 and $4,199, respectively, of which $0 was payable at June 30, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred income incentive fees of $0 and $0, respectively, which are net of waived amounts, of $1,107 and $2,131, respectively, of which $0 was payable at June 30, 2019.

GAAP Incentive Fee on Cumulative Unrealized Capital Appreciation

The Company accrues, but does not pay, a portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains with respect to net unrealized appreciation. Under GAAP, the Company is required to accrue an Incentive Fee based on capital gains that includes net realized capital gains and losses and net unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. In calculating the accrual for the Incentive Fee based on capital gains, the Company considers the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, since an Incentive Fee based on capital gains would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee payable under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement. This accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then the Company records a capital gains incentive fee equal to 15% (prior to February 3, 2020) or 17.5% (effective February 3, 2020) of such amount, minus the aggregate amount of actual Incentive Fees based on capital gains paid in all prior periods. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded no incentive fee on cumulative unrealized capital appreciation.

Other Related Party Transactions

From time to time, the Administrator may pay amounts owed by the Company to third-party providers of goods or services, including the Board, and the Company will subsequently reimburse the Administrator for such amounts paid on its behalf. Amounts payable to the Administrator are settled in the normal course of business without formal payment terms.

In conjunction with the closing of Alcentra Capital merger, the Company and the Advisor executed a Transaction Support Agreement, as described in Note 13.

A portion of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock are owned by Crescent Capital Group LP (“CCG LP”). CCG LP is also the majority member of the Advisor and sole member of the Administrator.

The Company has entered into a license agreement with CCG LP under which CCG LP granted the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “Crescent Capital”. The Advisor has entered into a resource sharing agreement with CCG LP. CCG LP will provide the Advisor with the resources necessary for the Advisor to fulfill its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

(1) Together with Masterland Enterprise Holdings, Ltd. (“Masterland”, and collectively with the Company, the “Members”), the Company invests through the Senior Loan Fund. Although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of the Senior Loan Fund, the Company does not have control over the Senior Loan Fund (other than for purposes of the Investment Company Act). See Note 4 “Investments”.

(2) Gross additions may include increases in the cost basis of investments resulting from new portfolio investments, PIK interest or dividends, the accretion of discounts, the exchange of one or more existing securities for one or more new securities and the movement of an existing portfolio company into this category from a different category.

(3) Gross reductions may include decreases in the cost basis of investments resulting from principal collections related to investment repayments or sales, the exchange of one or more existing securities for one or more new securities and the movement of an existing portfolio company out of this category into a different category.

Note 4. Investments

The Company’s investments at any time may include securities and other financial instruments or other assets of any sort, including, without limitation, corporate and government bonds, convertible securities, collateralized loan obligations, term loans, trade claims, equity securities, privately negotiated securities, direct placements, working interests, warrants and investment derivatives (including, but not limited to credit default swaps, recovery swaps, total return swaps, options, forward contracts, and futures) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to in these consolidated financial statements as “investments”).

A “first lien” loan is typically senior on a lien basis to other liabilities in the issuer’s capital structure and has the benefit of a first-priority security interest in assets of the issuer. The security interest ranks above the security interest of any second-lien lenders in those assets.

“Unitranche” loans are first lien loans that may extend deeper in a company’s capital structure than traditional first lien debt and may provide for a waterfall of cash flow priority among different lenders in the unitranche loan. In certain instances, the Company may find another lender to provide the “first out” portion of such loan and retain the “last out” portion of such loan, in which case, the “first out” portion of the loan would generally receive priority with respect to payment of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder over the “last out” portion that the Company would continue to hold. In exchange for the greater risk of loss, the “last out” portion earns a higher interest rate.

“Second lien” investments are loans with a second priority lien on the assets of the portfolio company. The Company obtains security interests in the assets of the portfolio company that serve as collateral in support of the repayment of such loans. This collateral serves as collateral in support of the repayment of these loans.

The terms “mezzanine” or “unsecured debt” refers to an investment in a company that, among other factors, includes debt that generally ranks senior to a borrower’s equity securities and junior in right of payment to such borrower’s other indebtedness.

Table of Contents

Under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to separately identify non-controlled investments where it owns 5% or more of a portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company as investments in “affiliated” companies. In addition, under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to separately identify investments where it owns more than 25% of a portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company as investments in “controlled” companies. Detailed information with respect to the Company’s non-controlled, non-affiliated; non-controlled, affiliated; and controlled affiliated investments is contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The information in the following tables is presented on an aggregate portfolio basis, without regard to whether they are non-controlled non-affiliated, non-controlled affiliated or controlled affiliated investments.

Certain Risk Factors

In the ordinary course of business, the Company manages a variety of risks including market risk and liquidity risk. The Company identifies, measures and monitors risk through various control mechanisms, including trading limits and diversifying exposures and activities across a variety of instruments, markets and counterparties.

Market risk is the risk of potential adverse changes to the value of financial instruments because of changes in market conditions, including as a result of changes in the credit quality of a particular issuer, credit spreads, interest rates, and other movements and volatility in security prices or commodities. In particular, the Company may invest in issuers that are experiencing or have experienced financial or business difficulties (including difficulties resulting from the initiation or prospect of significant litigation or bankruptcy proceedings), which involves significant risks. The Company manages its exposure to market risk through the use of risk management strategies and various analytical monitoring techniques.

The Company’s investments may, at any time, include securities and other financial instruments or obligations that are illiquid or thinly traded, making purchase or sale of such securities and financial instruments at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult. Furthermore, the sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely difficult to value any such investments accurately.

Investments denominated in foreign currencies and foreign currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Senior Loan Fund

The Senior Loan Fund, an unconsolidated limited liability company, was formed on September 26, 2018 and commenced operations in February 2019. The Company invests together with Masterland through the Senior Loan Fund. Masterland is a wholly owned subsidiary of China Orient Asset Management (International) Holding Limited (HK). The Senior Loan Fund’s principal purpose is to make investments in broadly syndicated bank loans, either directly or indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary, CBDC Senior Loan Sub LLC. The Company and Masterland have each subscribed to fund $40,000. Except under certain circumstances, contributions to the Senior Loan Fund cannot be redeemed. The Senior Loan Fund is managed by a four member board of managers, on which the Company and Masterland have equal representation. Investment decisions generally must be unanimously approved by a quorum of the board of managers. Since the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the Senior Loan Fund, it is not consolidated. The Senior Loan Fund is an investment company and measured using the net asset value per share as a practical expedient for fair value.

The Senior Loan Fund is capitalized pro rata with LLC equity interest as transactions are completed. The Senior Loan Fund has a revolving credit facility with Royal Bank of Canada (the “RBC Facility”), as amended, which permitted up to $300,000 of borrowings as of June 30, 2020. Borrowings under the RBC Facility are secured by all assets of CBDC Senior Loan Sub LLC. The interest rate on the credit facility is London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with no LIBOR floor, plus margin, which ranges between 1.25% and 1.45% based on pricing of the pledged collateral.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded $8,426 in transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 and $6,637 in transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 due to an increase and a decrease in observable inputs in market data.

The following tables present the fair value of Level 3 investments and the ranges of significant unobservable inputs used to value the Company’s Level 3 investments as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. These ranges represent the significant unobservable inputs that were used in the valuation of each type of investment. These inputs are not representative of the inputs that could have been used in the valuation of any one investment. For example, the highest market yield presented in the table for senior secured first lien investments is appropriate for valuing a specific investment but may not be appropriate for valuing any other investment. Accordingly, the ranges of inputs presented below do not represent uncertainty in, or possible ranges of, fair value measurements of the Company’s Level 3 investments.

As noted above, the discounted cash flows and market multiple approaches were used in the determination of fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The significant unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow approach is the discount rate used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. An increase in the discount rate would result in a decrease in the fair value. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates is risk of default, rating of the investment, call provisions and comparable company investments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the market multiple approach are the multiples of similar companies’ earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and comparable market transactions. Increases or decreases in market EBITDA multiples would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value.

SPV Asset Facility

On March 28, 2016, Crescent Capital BDC Funding, LLC (“CCAP SPV”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CCAP, entered into a loan and security agreement, as amended (the “SPV Asset Facility”), with the Company as the collateral manager, seller and equityholder, CCAP SPV as the borrower, the banks and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, collateral agent, and lender. Between February 8, 2017 and March 10, 2020, the Company has entered into multiple amendments to the SPV Asset Facility to, among other things, increase the facility limit from $75,000 to $350,000.

The maximum commitment amount under the SPV Asset Facility is $350,000, and may be increased with the consent of Wells Fargo or reduced upon request of the Company. Proceeds of the advances under the SPV Asset Facility may be used to acquire portfolio investments, to make distributions to the Company in accordance with the SPV Asset Facility, and to pay related expenses. The maturity date is the earlier of: (a) the date the Borrower voluntarily reduces the commitments to zero, (b) March 10, 2025 (the Facility Maturity Date) and (c) the date upon which Wells Fargo declares the obligations due and payable after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Borrowings under the SPV Asset Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin with no LIBOR floor. The margin is between 1.65% and 2.20% as determined by the proportion of liquid and illiquid loans pledged to the SPV Asset Facility. The Company pays unused facility fees of 0.50% per annum on committed but undrawn amounts under the SPV Asset Facility. The SPV Asset Facility includes customary covenants, including certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, as well as usual and customary events of default for revolving credit facilities of this nature.

Also on March 28, 2016, the Company, as Seller, and CCAP SPV, as Purchaser, entered into a loan sale agreement whereby the Company will sell certain assets to CCAP SPV. CCAP SPV will be consolidated into the Company’s financial statements and no gain or loss is expected to result from the sale of assets to CCAP SPV. The Company retains a residual interest in assets contributed to or acquired by CCAP SPV through its 100% ownership of CCAP SPV. The facility size is subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on the amount of CCAP SPV’s assets from time to time, and satisfaction of certain conditions, including certain concentration limits.

Costs incurred in connection with obtaining the SPV Asset Facility and subsequent amendments have been recorded as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the life of the SPV Asset Facility on an effective yield basis. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, deferred financing costs related to the SPV Asset Facility were $2,844 and $1,508, respectively, and were included in debt on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Corporate Revolving Facility

On August 20, 2019, the Company entered into the “Corporate Revolving Facility” with Ally Bank (“Ally”), as Administrative Agent and Arranger. Proceeds of the advances under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be used to acquire portfolio investments, to make distributions to the Company in accordance with the Revolving Credit Agreement and to pay related expenses. The maximum principal amount of the Corporate Revolving Facility is $200,000, subject to availability under the borrowing base.

Borrowings under the Corporate Revolving Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a 2.30% margin with no LIBOR floor. The Company pays unused facility fees of 0.50% per annum on committed but undrawn amounts under the Corporate Revolving Facility. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the Corporate Revolving Facility, and all accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and payable, on August 20, 2024.

Costs incurred in connection with obtaining the Corporate Revolving Facility have been recorded as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the life of the Corporate Revolving Facility on an effective yield basis. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, deferred financing costs related to the Corporate Revolving Facility were $1,660 and $1,923, respectively, and were included in debt on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Corporate Revolving Facility replaced the prior corporate revolving facility with Capital One, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger, Managing Agent and Committed Lender. The maximum principal amount of the prior corporate revolving facility was $85,000, subject to availability under the borrowing base.

Borrowings under the prior corporate revolving facility bore interest at LIBOR plus a 1.55% margin with no LIBOR floor. The Company paid unused facility fees of 0.20% per annum on committed but undrawn amounts under the prior corporate revolving facility. Interest was payable monthly in arrears. The Company paid down in full and terminated the prior corporate revolving facility on August 20, 2019.

InterNotes®

On January 31, 2020, in connection with the Alcentra Acquisition, the Company assumed direct unsecured fixed interest rate obligations or “InterNotes®”. The majority of InterNotes® were issued by Alcentra Corporation between January 2015 and January 2016. Each series of notes has been issued by a separate trust administered by U.S. Bank.

As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding InterNotes® bear interest at fixed interest rates ranging between 6.25% and 6.75% and offer a variety of maturities ranging between February 15, 2021 and April 15, 2022.

Note 7. Derivatives

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Company mitigate its counterparty risk, the Company may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or a similar agreement with its derivative counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Company and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including foreign currency forward contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Company and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as due to/due from broker. There has been no cash collateral received or paid from the counterparty. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. All of the forward contracts qualify as Level 2 financial instruments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, the Company’s average USD notional exposure to foreign currency forward contracts was $31,433 and $19,126, respectively.

The following table sets forth the Company’s net exposure to foreign currency forward contracts that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Note 8. Commitments, Contingencies and Indemnifications

The Company’s investment portfolio may contain debt investments that are in the form of lines of credit and unfunded delayed draw commitments, which require the Company to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Company’s unfunded commitments may be significant from time to time. These commitments will be subject to the same underwriting and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial instruments that the Company holds. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had aggregated unfunded commitments totaling $66,591 and $82,745 including foreign denominated commitments converted to USD at the balance sheet date, respectively, under loan and financing agreements.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has the following unfunded commitments to portfolio companies (in thousands):

(1) 

Commitments are generally subject to borrowers meeting certain criteria such as compliance with covenants and certain operational metrics. These amounts may remain outstanding until the commitment period of an applicable loan expires, which may be shorter than its maturity.

(2) 

Unfunded commitments denominated in currencies other than USD have been converted to USD using the applicable foreign currency exchange rate as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

(3)

The fair value is reflected as investments, at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company believes that there is sufficient assets and liquidity to adequately cover future obligations under unfunded commitments. The cash and restricted cash balances, availability under the credit facilities and ongoing investment realizations are expected to provide sufficient liquidity. In addition, broadly syndicated loans in the portfolio could be sold over a relatively short period to generate cash.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts which provide a variety of representations and warranties, and that provide general indemnifications. Such contracts include those with certain service providers, brokers and trading counterparties. Any exposure to the Company under these arrangements is unknown as it would involve future claims that may be made against the Company; however, based on the Company’s experience, the risk of loss is remote and no such claims are expected to occur. As such, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.

Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity

The Company has authorized 200,000,000 shares of its common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Company has authorized 10,000 shares of its preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. To date, no shares of preferred stock have been issued.

Between June 26, 2015, commencement of operations, and January 31, 2020, the date of Alcentra Acquisition, the Company entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with several investors, including CCG LP, providing for the private placement of its common shares. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, between June 26, 2015 and January 31, 2020, the Company issued 23,127,335 common shares for aggregate proceeds of $456,297, of which $10,000 was from CCG LP. Proceeds from the issuances were used to fund investing activities and for other general corporate purposes. Upon closing of the Alcentra Acquisition, all unfunded commitments of stockholders subscribing in private offering were terminated.

Note 13. Alcentra Acquisition

On August 12, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended on September 27, 2019, the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire Alcentra Capital Corporation (“Alcentra Capital”) in a cash and stock transaction (the “Alcentra Acquisition”).

In connection with the Alcentra Acquisition, which was completed on January 31, 2020, each share of Alcentra Capital common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Alcentra Acquisition was converted into the right to receive from the Company, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, (a) approximately $1.50 per share in cash consideration less $0.80 per share spillover dividend declared by Alcentra Capital, and (b) stock consideration at the fixed exchange ratio of 0.4041 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company’s common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”) (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock). The Exchange Ratio was fixed on the date of the Merger Agreement, and was not subject to adjustment based on changes in the trading price of Alcentra Capital’s common stock before the closing of the Alcentra Acquisition. Based on the number of shares of Alcentra Capital common stock outstanding on the date of the merger, approximately 5,203,016 of the Company’s shares of common stock were exchanged for approximately 12,875,566 outstanding shares of Alcentra Capital common stock, subject to adjustment in certain limited circumstances. Upon closing of the Alcentra Acquisition, all unfunded commitments of stockholders subscribing in private offering were terminated.

Additionally, on August 12, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with the Advisor in connection with the Alcentra Acquisition. Under the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement, in connection with the consummation of the Alcentra Acquisition the Advisor (a) provided cash consideration of approximately $1.68 per share of Alcentra Capital common stock, payable to Alcentra Capital stockholders in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement at closing, (b) entered into an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement to (i) permanently reduce the management fee from 1.5% to 1.25%, (ii) increase the incentive fee hurdle from 6% to 7% annualized, (iii) waive a portion of the management fee from February 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021 after the transaction so that only 0.75% shall be charged for such time period, and (iv) waive the income based portion of the incentive fee from February 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021 after the transaction and (c) fund up to $1,419 of expenses that the Company incurs in connection with completing the Alcentra Acquisition.

The merger of Alcentra Capital with and into Crescent Capital BDC was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations-Related Issues. Accordingly, transaction expenses of $7,250, net of Advisor transaction support of $1,419, were included in total consideration paid, and no goodwill was recognized.

In evaluating whether the merger was an asset acquisition or business combination, the Company considered (i) whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets; and (ii) whether the set of acquired assets included at least one substantive process. Since the acquired assets consisted of similar classes of financial assets, and since the Company did not acquire an organized workforce or other substantive processes in the transaction, it was deemed to be an asset acquisition.

Total consideration paid by the Company, including transaction costs related to the merger, of $118,256 was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based upon their relative fair values as of the closing date, subject to the limitation that certain “non-qualifying” assets, including financial instruments, could not be assigned an amount greater than their fair values. As a result of this limitation, total consideration paid by the Company exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $3,825, which has been presented as a realized loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company estimated the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with ASC 820; the methodologies utilized to make these estimates were consistent with those used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its own assets and liabilities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion also should be read in conjunction with the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements” set forth on page 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In this report, “we,” “us,” “our” and “Company” refer to Crescent Capital BDC, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW

We are a specialty finance company focused on lending to middle-market companies and were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 5, 2015 (“Inception”). On January 30, 2020, we changed our state of incorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Maryland. We have elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, we have elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As such, we are required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of our assets in “qualifying assets,” source of income limitations, asset diversification requirements, and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income and tax-exempt interest.

We are managed by our Advisor, Crescent Cap Advisors, LLC (and formerly, CBDC Advisors, LLC), an investment adviser that is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act. Our Administrator, CCAP Administration LLC (and formerly, CBDC Administration, LLC) provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate. Company management consists of investment and administrative professionals from the Advisor and Administrator along with our Board. The Advisor directs and executes our investment operations and capital raising activities subject to oversight from the Board, which sets our broad policies. The Board has delegated investment management of our investment assets to the Advisor. The Board consists of six directors, four of whom are independent.

Our primary investment objective is to maximize the total return to our stockholders in the form of current income and capital appreciation through debt and related equity investments. We seek to achieve our investment objectives by investing primarily in secured debt (including senior secured first lien, unitranche and senior secured second-lien debt) and unsecured debt (including senior unsecured, mezzanine and subordinated debt), as well as related equity securities of private U.S. middle-market companies. We may purchase interests in loans or make debt investments, either (i) directly from our target companies as primary market or private credit investments (i.e., private credit transactions), or (ii) primary or secondary market bank loan or high yield transactions in the broadly syndicated “over-the-counter” market (i.e., broadly syndicated loans and bonds). Although our focus is to invest in less liquid private credit transactions, broadly syndicated loans and bonds are generally more liquid than and complement our private credit transactions.

A “first lien” loan is typically senior on a lien basis to other liabilities in the issuer’s capital structure and has the benefit of a first-priority security interest in assets of the issuer. The security interest ranks above the security interest of any second-lien lenders in those assets.

“Unitranche” loans are first lien loans that may extend deeper in a company’s capital structure than traditional first lien debt and may provide for a waterfall of cash flow priority among different lenders in the unitranche loan. In certain instances, we may find another lender to provide the “first out” portion of such loan and retain the “last out” portion of such loan, in which case, the “first out” portion of the loan would generally receive priority with respect to payment of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder over the “last out” portion that we would continue to hold. In exchange for the greater risk of loss, the “last out” portion earns a higher interest rate.

“Second lien” investments are loans with a second priority lien on the assets of the portfolio company. We obtain security interests in the assets of the portfolio company that serve as collateral in support of the repayment of such loans. This collateral serves as collateral in support of the repayment of these loans.

The term “mezzanine” or “unsecured debt” refers to an investment in a company that, among other factors, includes debt that generally ranks senior to a borrower’s equity securities and junior in right of payment to such borrower’s other indebtedness. We may make multiple investments in the same portfolio company.

Alcentra Acquisition

On August 12, 2019, we entered into the Merger Agreement to acquire Alcentra Capital, in a cash and stock transaction. The board of directors of both companies each unanimously approved the Alcentra Acquisition and on January 29, 2020, Alcentra Capital’s stockholders approved the merger and our stockholders approved the issuance of shares of our common stock to Alcentra Capital’s stockholders.

On January 31, 2020, we completed the Alcentra Acquisition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. To effect the acquisition, Acquisition Sub merged with and into Alcentra Capital, with Alcentra Capital surviving the merger as our wholly owned subsidiary. Immediately thereafter and as a single integrated transaction, Alcentra Capital consummated the Second Merger, whereby it merged with and into us, with Crescent Capital BDC surviving the merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Alcentra Capital stockholders received the right to the following merger consideration in exchange for each share of Alcentra Capital common stock outstanding immediately prior to January 31, 2020, (a) $3.1784 per share in cash consideration (less the $0.8000 final dividend declared by Alcentra Capital) and (b) stock consideration at the fixed exchange ratio of 0.4041 shares of Common Stock. This resulted in our then-existing stockholders owning approximately 82% of us and Alcentra Capital’s then-existing stockholders owning approximately 18% of us.

The aggregate cash consideration was comprised of (i) $19.3 million in cash, or $1.5023 per share, from us (less $10.3 million or $0.8000 per share in final dividends paid by Alcentra Capital on January 31, 2020) and (ii) $21.6 million in cash, or $1.6761 per share, in transaction support provided by the Advisor.

KEY COMPONENTS OF OPERATIONS

Investments

We expect our investment activity to vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, the general economic environment, the amount of capital we have available to us, the level of merger and acquisition activity for middle-market companies, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to such companies and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make. In addition, as part of our risk strategy on investments, we may reduce certain levels of investments through partial sales or syndication to additional investors.

We must not invest in any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act, unless, at the time the investments are made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, “eligible portfolio companies” include certain companies that do not have any securities listed on a national securities exchange and public companies whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million.

The Investment Advisor

Our investment activities are managed by the Advisor, which is responsible for originating prospective investments, conducting research and due diligence investigations on potential investments, analyzing investment opportunities, negotiating and structuring our investments and monitoring our investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. The Advisor has entered into a resource sharing agreement with Crescent Capital Group LP (“CCG LP”), pursuant to which CCG LP provides the Advisor with experienced investment professionals (including the members of the Advisor’s investment committee) and access to the resources of CCG LP so as to enable the Advisor to fulfill its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Through the resource sharing agreement, the Advisor intends to capitalize on the deal origination, credit underwriting, due diligence, investment structuring, execution, portfolio management and monitoring experience of CCG LP’s investment professionals.

Revenues

We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments, capital gains and distributions, if any, on equity securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Certain investments may have contractual PIK interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the loan principal of the investment on the respective interest or dividend payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. PIK is recorded as interest or dividend income, as applicable.

Dividend income from common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies. Dividend income from preferred equity securities is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected.

We may receive other income, which may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, underwriting, arranger and prepayment fees associated with our investment activities as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

We also generate revenue in the form of commitment or origination fees. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts into income over the life of the loan using the effective yield method.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of management fees and incentive fees to the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, as amended, our allocable portion of overhead expenses under the administration agreement with our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”), operating costs associated with our sub-administration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company and other operating costs described below. The management and incentive fees compensate the Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. We bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including:

 

   

the cost of calculating our net asset value, including the cost of any third-party valuation services;

 

   

fidelity bond, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and other insurance premiums;

 

   

fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs;

 

   

independent directors’ fees and expenses;

 

   

administration fees and expenses, if any, payable under the Administration Agreement (including payments based upon our allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, rent and the allocable portion of the cost of certain professional services provided to us, including but not limited to, our Chief Compliance Officer, our legal counsel and other professionals);

 

   

U.S. federal, state and local taxes;

 

   

the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock and other securities;

 

58


Table of Contents
   

fees payable to third parties relating to making investments, including out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence and reviews of prospective investments;

 

   

out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;

 

   

federal and state registration fees and any stock exchange listing fees;

 

   

brokerage commissions;

 

   

costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and other applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws;

 

   

debt service and other costs of borrowings or other financing arrangements; and

 

   

all other expenses reasonably incurred by us in connection with making investments and administering our business.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable or decline as a percentage of total assets during periods of asset growth and to increase during periods of asset declines.

Leverage

Our financing facilities allow us to borrow money and lever our investment portfolio, subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act, with the objective of increasing our yield. This is known as “leverage” and could increase or decrease returns to our stockholders. The use of leverage involves significant risks.

In accordance with applicable SEC staff guidance and interpretations, effective May 5, 2020 with shareholder approval, we, as a BDC, are permitted to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage ratio is at least 150% after such borrowing (if certain requirements are met), rather than 200%, as previously required. Short-term credits necessary for the settlement of securities transactions and arrangements with respect to securities lending will not be considered borrowings for these purposes. The amount of leverage that we employ depends on our Advisor’s and our Board’s assessment of market conditions and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.

PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

We seek to create a broad and diversified portfolio that generally includes senior secured first lien, unitranche, senior secured second lien and subordinated loans and minority equity securities of U.S. middle market companies. The size of our individual investments will vary proportionately with the size of our capital base. We generally invest in securities that have been rated below investment grade by independent rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. These securities have speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. In addition, many of our debt investments have floating interest rates that reset on a periodic basis and typically do not fully pay down principal prior to maturity.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our portfolio at fair value was comprised of the following:

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

As of June 30, 2020, we had investments in five portfolio companies with eight investment positions on non-accrual status, which represented 3.9% and 2.4% of the total debt investments at cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, we had investments in one portfolio company with three investment positions on non-accrual status, which represented 1.9% and 1.0% of total debt investments at cost and fair value, respectively. The remaining debt investments were performing and current on their interest payments as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The Advisor monitors our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. The Advisor monitors the financial trends of each portfolio company to determine if it is meeting its business plans and to assess the appropriate course of action for each company. The Advisor has a number of methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include the following:

 

   

assessment of success of the portfolio company in adhering to its business plan and compliance with covenants;

 

   

review of monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections for portfolio companies.

 

   

contact with portfolio company management and, if appropriate, the financial or strategic sponsor, to discuss financial position, requirements and accomplishments;

 

   

comparisons to other companies in the industry; and

 

   

possible attendance at, and participation in, board meetings.

As part of the monitoring process, the Advisor regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and, on a quarterly basis, grades each investment on a risk scale of 1 to 5. Risk assessment is not standardized in our industry and our risk assessment may not be comparable to ones used by our competitors. Our assessment is based on the following categories:

 

1

Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio. The investment/borrower is performing above expectations since investment, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable, which may include the financial performance of the borrower or a potential exit.

 

2

Involves an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of investment. The investment/borrower is generally performing as expected, and the risk factors are neutral to favorable.

 

3

Involves an investment/borrower performing below expectations and indicates that the investment’s risk has increased somewhat since investment. The borrower’s loan payments are generally not past due and more likely than not the borrower will remain in compliance with debt covenants. An investment rating of 3 requires closer monitoring.

 

4

Involves an investment/borrower performing materially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased materially since investment. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due). Placing loans on non-accrual status should be considered for investments rated 4.

 

5

Involves an investment/borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has substantially increased since investment. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Loans rated 5 are not anticipated to be repaid in full and the fair market value of the loan should be reduced to the anticipated recovery amount. Loans with an investment rating of 5 should be placed on non-accrual status.

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 5 investment performance rating scale at fair value as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Investment performance ratings are accurate only as of those dates and may change due to subsequent developments relating to a portfolio company’s business or financial condition, market conditions or developments, and other factors.

Interest and Credit Facility Expenses

Interest and debt financing costs include interest, amortization of deferred financing costs, upfront commitment fees and unused fees on our credit facilities. Interest and debt financing costs increased from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding largely due to the Alcentra Acquisition from $254.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $417.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the weighted average debt outstanding was partially offset by the average interest rate (excluding deferred upfront financing costs and unused fees) decreasing from 4.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to 3.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by declining benchmark rates.

Interest and debt financing costs increased from $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding largely due to the Alcentra Acquisition from $243.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $403.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the weighted average debt outstanding was partially offset by the average interest rate (excluding deferred upfront financing costs and unused fees) on the weighted average debt outstanding decreasing from 4.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to 3.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by declining benchmark rates.

Investment Advisory Agreements

On June 2, 2015, we entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), which was subsequently replaced by the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (together with the Investment Advisory Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”), which was approved by our stockholders on January 29, 2020 in connection with the Alcentra Acquisition. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor provides investment advisory services to us and our portfolio investments. The Advisor’s services under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and the Advisor is free to furnish similar or other services to others so long as its services to us are not impaired. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreements, the Advisor is entitled to receive a base management fee and may also receive incentive fees, as discussed below.

Base Management Fee (prior to February 1, 2020)

Prior to February 1, 2020, pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.50% of our gross assets, including assets acquired through the incurrence of debt but excluding any cash and cash equivalents. The base management fee was calculated based on the average value of gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter.

Table of Contents

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor agreed to waive its right to receive management fees in excess of the sum of (i) 0.25% of the aggregate committed but undrawn capital and (ii) 0.75% of the aggregate gross assets excluding cash and cash equivalents (including capital drawn to pay our expenses) during the period prior to February 3, 2020, the date of the our qualified initial public offering, as defined by the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Qualified IPO”). The listing of our Common Stock on NASDAQ on February 3, 2020 qualified as a Qualified IPO. The Advisor is not permitted to recoup any waived amounts at any time.

New Base Management Fee (effective February 1, 2020)

Effective February 1, 2020, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of our gross assets, including assets acquired through the incurrence of debt but excluding any cash and cash equivalents. The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter.

In addition, under the terms of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, the Advisor agreed to waive a portion of the management fee from February 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021 after the closing of the Alcentra Acquisition so that only 0.75% shall be charged for such time period. The Advisor is not permitted to recoup any waived amounts at any time.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred management fees of $1.7 and $3.2 million, respectively, which are net of waived amounts, of $1.1 and $2.3 million, respectively, of which $1.7 million was payable at June 30, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred management fees of $1.1 and $2.1 million, respectively, which are net of waived amounts, of $1.0 and $1.9 million respectively, of which $1.1 million was payable at June 30, 2019.

The Advisor has voluntarily waived its right to receive management fees on our investment in GACP II LP for any period in which GACP II LP remains in the investment portfolio. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, $0.0 and $0.1 million, respectively, of management fees waived were attributable to our investment in GACP II LP. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, $0.0 and $0.1 million, respectively, of management fees waived were attributable to our investment in GACP II LP. These amounts are excluded from the management fee waived amounts above.

Incentive Fee (prior to February 1, 2020)

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Incentive Fee consisted of two parts. The first part, the income incentive fee, was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equaled (a) 100% of the excess of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, over a preferred return of 1.5% per quarter (6.0% annualized) (the “Hurdle”), and a catch-up feature until the Advisor received 15% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the current quarter up to 1.7647% (the “Catch-up”), and (b) 15% of all remaining pre-incentive fee net investment income above the “Catch-up.”

The second part, the capital gains incentive fee, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year at a rate of 15.0% of our realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from Inception through the end of the fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees.

At the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, in connection with the extension of the deadline to consummate a Qualified IPO, the Advisor agreed to waive its rights under the Investment Advisory Agreement to (i) the income incentive fee and (ii) the capital gain incentive fee for the period from April 1, 2018 through February 1, 2020.

Incentive Fee (effective February 1, 2020)

Under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, the Incentive Fee consists of two parts. The first part, the income incentive fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and (a) equals 100% of the excess of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, over a preferred return of 1.75% per quarter (7.0% annualized) (the “Hurdle”), and a catch-up feature until the Advisor has received 17.5%, of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the current quarter up to 2.1212% (the “Catch-up”), and (b) 17.5% of all remaining pre-incentive fee net investment income above the “Catch-up.”

In addition, under the terms of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor agreed to waive the income based portion of the incentive fee from February 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021. Once the Advisor begins to earn income incentive fees, the Advisor will voluntarily waive the income incentive fees attributable to the investment income accrued by us as a result of our investment in GACP II.

The second part, the capital gains incentive fee, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year at a rate of 17.5% of our realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from Inception through the end of the fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. Since the Qualified IPO occurred on a date other than the first day of a calendar quarter, the income incentive fee shall be calculated for such calendar quarter at a weighted rate calculated based on the fee rates applicable before and after a Qualified IPO based on the number of days in such calendar quarter before and after the Qualified IPO. For the avoidance of doubt, such capital gains incentive fee shall be equal to 15.0% of our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from Inception through the day before the Qualified IPO, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. Following the Qualified IPO, solely for the purposes of calculating the capital gains incentive fee, we will be deemed to have previously paid capital gains incentive fees prior to a Qualified IPO equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the actual aggregate amount of previously paid capital gains incentive fees for all periods prior to the Qualified IPO by (b) the percentage obtained by dividing (x) 17.5% by (y) 15.0%. In the event that the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement shall terminate as of a date that is not a fiscal year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a fiscal year end for purposes of calculating and paying a capital gains incentive fee.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during each calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for such quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding debt or preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as market discount, original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the we have not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income will be compared to a “Hurdle Amount” equal to the product of (i) the Hurdle rate of 1.50% or 1.75% per quarter, 6.00% or 7.00% annualized, prior to and effective February 1, 2020, respectively, and (ii) our net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness, before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period), at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a “catch-up” provision incurred at the end of each calendar quarter.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred income incentive fees of $2.3 million and $1.1 million, of which $2.3 million and $1.1 million were waived. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred income incentive fees of $4.2 million and $2.1 million, of which $4.2 million and $2.1 million were waived. $0 was payable at June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

GAAP Incentive Fee on Cumulative Unrealized Capital Appreciation

We accrue, but do not pay, a portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains with respect to net unrealized appreciation. Under GAAP, we are required to accrue an Incentive Fee based on capital gains that includes net realized capital gains and losses and net unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. In calculating the accrual for the Incentive Fee based on capital gains, we consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, since an Incentive Fee based on capital gains would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee payable under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement. This accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then we record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 15% (pre February 3, 2020) or 17.5% (effective February 3, 2020) of such amount, minus the aggregate amount of actual Incentive Fees based on capital gains paid in all prior periods. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we accrued no incentive fee on cumulative unrealized capital appreciation.

Professional Fees and Other General and Administrative Expenses

Professional fees generally include expenses from independent auditors, tax advisors, legal counsel and third party valuation agents. Other general and administrative expenses generally include expenses from the sub-administration agreement, insurance premiums, overhead and staffing costs allocated from the Administrator and other miscellaneous general and administrative costs associated with our operations and investment activity. Professional fees increased from $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, while other general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat at $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net increase in expenses was due to an increase in costs associated with servicing a growing investment portfolio. Professional fees increased from $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, while other general and administrative expenses increased from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The net increase in expenses was due to an increase in costs associated with servicing a growing investment portfolio.

Organization expenses

We agreed to repay the Advisor for initial organization costs and equity offering costs incurred prior to the commencement of our operations up to a maximum of $1.5 million on a pro rata basis over the first $350.0 million of invested capital not to exceed 3 years from the initial capital commitment on June 26, 2015. The initial 3 year term was later extended to June 30, 2019, with shareholder approval. To the extent such costs relate to equity offerings, these costs are charged as a reduction of capital upon the issuance of common shares. To the extent such costs relate to organization costs, these costs are expensed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon the issuance of common shares. The Advisor is responsible for organization and private equity offerings costs in excess of $1.5 million. During the reimbursement period which began on June 26, 2015 and expired on June 30, 2019, the Advisor had allocated to us $0.8 million of equity offering costs and $0.6 million of organization costs.

Income Tax Expense, Including Excise Tax

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, we must generally (among other requirements) timely distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. In order to maintain our RIC status, we intend to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders which will generally relieve us from corporate-level income taxes.

Table of Contents

In order to not to be subject to federal excise taxes, we must distribute annually an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of our ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections), (ii) 98.2% of our net capital gains from the current year and (iii) any undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains from preceding years. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward such taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. If we determine that our estimated current year taxable income will be in excess of estimated dividend distributions for the current year from such income, we accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we expensed an excise tax of $0.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively, of which $0.1 million and $0.0 million remained payable, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we expensed an excise tax of $0.3 million and $0.0 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million and $0.0 million remained payable, respectively.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses

We value our portfolio investments quarterly and any changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, net realized gains (losses) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investment portfolio were comprised of the following:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the change in unrealized depreciation on debt and equity investments was largely due to increased market volatility and wider credit spreads resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hedging

We may, but are not required to, enter into interest rate, foreign exchange or other derivative agreements to hedge interest rate, currency, credit or other risks. Generally, we do not intend to enter into any such derivative agreements for speculative purposes. Any derivative agreements entered into for speculative purposes are not expected to be material to our business or results of operations. These hedging activities, which are in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, may include the use of various instruments, including futures, options and forward contracts. We bear the costs incurred in connection with entering into, administering and settling any such derivative contracts. There can be no assurance any hedging strategy we employ will be successful.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, our average U.S. Dollar notional exposure to foreign currency forward contracts were $31.4 million and $19.1 million, respectively.

Senior Loan Fund

The Senior Loan Fund, an unconsolidated limited liability company, was formed on September 26, 2018 and commenced operations in February 2019. We invest together with Masterland through the Senior Loan Fund. Masterland is a wholly owned subsidiary of China Orient Asset Management (International) Holding Limited (HK). The Senior Loan Fund’s principal purpose is to make investments in broadly syndicated bank loans, either directly or indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary, CBDC Senior Loan Sub LLC. We along with Masterland, have each subscribed to fund $40.0 million. Except under certain circumstances, contributions to the Senior Loan Fund cannot be redeemed. The Senior Loan Fund is managed by a four member board of managers, on which we and Masterland have equal representation. Investment decisions generally must be unanimously approved by a quorum of the board of managers. Since we do not have a controlling financial interest in the Senior Loan Fund, it is not consolidated. The Senior Loan Fund is an investment company and measured using the net asset value per share as a practical expedient for fair value.

We along with Masterland had subscribed to fund and contributed the following to the Senior Loan Fund:

The Senior Loan Fund is capitalized pro rata with LLC equity interest as transactions are completed. The Senior Loan Fund has a revolving credit facility with Royal Bank of Canada (the “RBC Facility”), as amended, which permitted up to $300.0 million of borrowings as of June 30, 2020. Borrowings under the RBC Facility are secured by all assets of CBDC Senior Loan Sub LLC. The interest rate on the credit facility is London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with no LIBOR floor, plus margin, which ranges between 1.25% and 1.45% based on pricing of the pledged collateral.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The primary uses of our cash and cash equivalents are for (1) investments in portfolio companies and other investments; (2) the cost of operations (including paying the Advisor); (3) debt service, repayment, and other financing costs; and (4) cash distributions to the holders of our common stock. We expect to generate additional liquidity from (1) borrowings from our SPV Asset Facility and Corporate Revolving Facility and from other banks, lenders, or future issuances of debt securities; and, (2) cash flows from operations.

As of June 30, 2020, we had $11.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents and $166.1 million of undrawn capacity on our revolving credit and special purpose vehicle asset facilities, subject to borrowing base and other limitations.

We expect that the market and business disruption created by the COVID-19 pandemic will impact certain aspects of our liquidity, and we are therefore continuously and critically monitoring our operating results, liquidity and anticipated capital requirements. We saw an unprecedented level of calls for revolver fundings in March and April and subsequent repayments in the latter half of the second quarter. High market spreads and other economic volatility resulted in significant depreciation in the valuations of our investments, particularly in the first quarter, which may adversely impact collateral eligibility and reduce the availability under our credit facilities. However, the undrawn capacity under our facilities as of June 30, 2020 is in excess of our unfunded commitments.

As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with our asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act. In addition, we were in compliance with all the financial covenant requirements of our credit facilities as of June 30, 2020. However, any continued increase in realized losses or unrealized depreciation of our investment portfolio or further significant reductions in our net asset value as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, or otherwise, increase the risk of breaching the relevant covenants requirements. Any breach of these requirements may adversely affect the access to sufficient debt and equity capital.

It is impossible at this time to determine the full scope of this outbreak, or any future outbreaks, how long any such outbreak, market disruption or uncertainties may last, the effect any governmental actions will have or the full potential impact on our liquidity and overall performance.

Capital Share Activity

Between June 26, 2015, commencement of operations, and January 31, 2020, the date of Alcentra Acquisition, we entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with several investors, including CCG LP, providing for the private placement of our common shares. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, between June 26, 2015 and January 31, 2020, we issued 23,127,335 common shares for aggregate proceeds of $456.3 million, of which $10.0 million was from CCG LP. Proceeds from the issuances were used to fund our investing activities and for other general corporate purposes. Upon closing of the Alcentra Acquisition, all unfunded commitments of stockholders subscribing in private offering were terminated.

In connection with the Alcentra Acquisition, we issued 5,203,016 shares as part of the consideration paid for net assets acquired.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued 30,128 shares of our common stock to investors who have opted into our dividend reinvestment plan for proceeds of $0.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we issued 33,067 shares of our common stock to investors who have opted into our dividend reinvestment plan for proceeds of $0.6 million.

SPV Asset Facility

On March 28, 2016, Crescent Capital BDC Funding, LLC (“CCAP SPV”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CCAP, entered into a loan and security agreement, as amended (the “SPV Asset Facility”) with us as the collateral manager, seller and equity holder, CCAP SPV as the borrower, the banks and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, collateral agent, and lender. Between February 8, 2017 and March 10, 2020, we have entered into multiple amendments to the SPV Asset Facility to, among other things, increase the facility limit from $75 million to $350 million.

The maximum commitment amount under the SPV Asset Facility is $350 million, and may be increased with the consent of Wells Fargo or reduced upon our request. Proceeds of the Advances under the SPV Asset Facility may be used to acquire portfolio investments, to make distributions to us in accordance with the SPV Asset Facility, and to pay related expenses. The maturity date is the earlier of: (a) the date the borrower voluntarily reduces the commitments to zero, (b) March 10, 2025 (the Facility Maturity Date) and (c) the date upon which Wells Fargo declares the obligations due and payable after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Borrowings under the SPV Asset Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin with no LIBOR floor. The margin is between 1.65% and 2.20% as determined by the proportion of liquid and illiquid loans pledged to the SPV Asset Facility. We pay unused facility fees of 0.50% per annum on committed but undrawn amounts under the SPV Asset Facility. The SPV Asset Facility includes customary covenants, including certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, as well as usual and customary events of default for revolving credit facilities of this nature.

Also on March 28, 2016, we, as seller, and CCAP SPV, as purchaser, entered into a loan sale agreement whereby we will sell certain assets to CCAP SPV. We consolidate CCAP SPV in our consolidated financial statements and no gain or loss is expected to result from the sale of assets to CCAP SPV. We retain a residual interest in assets contributed to or acquired by CCAP SPV through our 100% ownership of CCAP SPV. The facility size is subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on the amount of CCAP SPV’s assets from time to time, and satisfaction of certain conditions, including an asset coverage test and certain concentration limits.

Corporate Revolving Facility

On August 20, 2019, we entered into the “Corporate Revolving Facility” with Ally Bank (“Ally”), as Administrative Agent and Arranger. Proceeds of the advances under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be used to acquire portfolio investments, to make distributions to us in accordance with the Revolving Credit Agreement and to pay related expenses. The maximum principal amount of the Corporate Revolving Facility is $200 million, subject to availability under the borrowing base.

Borrowings under the Corporate Revolving Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a 2.30% margin with no LIBOR floor. We pay unused facility fees of 0.50% per annum on committed but undrawn amounts under the Corporate Revolving Facility. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the Corporate Revolving Facility, and all accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and payable, on August 20, 2024.

The Corporate Revolving Facility replaced the prior corporate revolving facility with Capital One, National Association. The maximum principal amount of the prior corporate revolving facility was $85 million, subject to availability under the borrowing base. Borrowings under the prior corporate revolving facility bore interest at LIBOR plus a 1.55% margin with no LIBOR floor. We paid unused facility fees of 0.20% per annum on committed but undrawn amounts. Interest was payable monthly in arrears. We paid down in full and terminated the prior corporate revolving facility on August 20, 2019.

InterNotes®

On January 31, 2020, in connection with the Alcentra Acquisition, we assumed direct unsecured fixed interest rate obligations or “InterNotes®”. The majority of InterNotes® were issued by Alcentra Corporation between January 2015 and January 2016. Each series of notes has been issued by a separate trust administered by U.S. Bank. As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding Internotes® bear interest at fixed interest rates ranging between 6.25% and 6.75% and offer a variety of maturities ranging between February 15, 2021 and April 15, 2022.

To the extent we determine that additional capital would allow us to take advantage of additional investment opportunities, if the market for debt financing presents attractively priced debt financing opportunities, or if our Board otherwise determines that leveraging our portfolio would be in our best interest and the best interests of our stockholders, we may enter into credit facilities in addition to our SPV Asset Facility and Corporate Revolving Facility. We would expect any such credit facilities may be secured by certain of our assets and may contain advance rates based upon pledged collateral. The pricing and other terms of any such facilities would depend upon market conditions when we enter into any such facilities as well as the performance of our business, among other factors

In accordance with applicable SEC staff guidance and interpretations, effective May 5, 2020 with shareholder approval, we, as a BDC, are permitted to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage ratio is at least 150% after such borrowing (if certain requirements are met), rather than 200%, as previously required. Short-term credits necessary for the settlement of securities transactions and arrangements with respect to securities lending will not be considered borrowings for these purposes. The amount of leverage that we employ depends on our Advisor’s and our Board’s assessment of market conditions and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our asset coverage ratio was 2.26 to 1 and 2.25 to 1, respectively. We may also refinance or repay any of our indebtedness at any time based on our financial condition and market conditions. See Note 6. Debt to our consolidated financial statements for more detail on the debt facilities.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On January 31, 2020, we entered into a $20.0 million repurchase plan which allowed us to purchase shares in the open market any time our common stock traded below ninety percent (90%) of the most recently disclosed net asset value per share. The plan was subject to compliance with our liquidity, covenant, leverage and regulatory requirements. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase plan, repurchases began on March 2, 2020. On April 9, 2020, our Board of Directors unanimously approved the termination of the stock repurchase program.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased 192,415 shares at an average price per share, including commissions, of $11.48.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Our investment portfolio may contain debt investments that are in the form of lines of credit and unfunded delayed draw commitments, which require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not reflected on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Our unfunded commitments may be significant from time to time. These commitments will be subject to the same underwriting and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial instruments that we hold. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had aggregate unfunded commitments totaling $66.6 million and $82.7 million including foreign denominated commitments converted to USD at the balance sheet date, respectively, under loan and financing agreements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements 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 could cause actual results to differ materially. The critical accounting policies should be read in connection with our risk factors as disclosed herein.

In addition to the discussion below, our critical accounting policies are further described in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements.

Investment Valuation

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at those market quotations. To validate market quotations, we utilize a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, based on, among other things, the input of the Advisor, our Audit Committee and independent third-party valuation firms engaged at the direction of the Board.

The Board oversees and supervises a multi-step valuation process, which includes, among other procedures, the following:

 

   

The valuation process begins with each investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with the portfolio management team.

 

   

The Advisor’s management reviews the preliminary valuations with the investment professionals. Agreed upon valuation recommendations are presented to the Audit Committee.

 

   

The Audit Committee reviews the valuations presented and recommends values for each investment to the Board.

 

   

The Board reviews the recommended valuations and determines the fair value of each investment.

We currently conduct this valuation process on a quarterly basis.

In connection with debt and equity securities that are valued at fair value in good faith by the Board, the Board will periodically engage independent third-party valuation firms to estimate a range of fair values for a sample of investments, which are used to corroborate management’s fair value estimates.

We apply Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), as amended, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820, we consider our principal market to be the market that has the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820 specifies a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in the determination of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these levels are summarized below:

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Investments in investment companies are valued at fair value. Fair values are generally determined utilizing the net asset value (“NAV”) supplied by, or on behalf of, management of each investment company, which is net of management and incentive fees or allocations charged by the investment company and is in accordance with the “practical expedient”, as defined by ASC 820. NAVs received by, or on behalf of, management of each investment company are based on the fair value of the investment company’s underlying investments in accordance with policies established by management of each investment company, as described in each of their financial statements and offering memorandum. Investments which are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from the above hierarchy.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, we apply the valuation policy approved by our Board that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with the valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. When a security is valued based on prices provided by reputable dealers or pricing services (that is, broker quotes), we subject those prices to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a particular investment would qualify for classification as a Level 2 or Level 3 investment. For example, we review pricing methodologies provided by dealers or pricing services in order to determine if observable market information is being used, versus unobservable inputs. Some additional factors considered include the number of prices obtained as well as an assessment as to their quality. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the period in which the transfers occur.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $0.0 million in transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 and $20.3 million in transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a decrease in observable inputs in market data. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $8.4 million in transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 and $6.6 million in transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 due to an increase and a decrease in observable inputs in market data.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of such investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be realized. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities and may be subject to contractual and other restrictions on resale. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected herein. See Note 4. Investments and Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional information on our investment portfolio.

Interest and Dividend Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the amortization of purchase discounts and premiums. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted or amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion and amortization of discounts and premiums, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income.

Dividend income from common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies. Dividend income from preferred equity securities is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Each distribution received from an equity investment is evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, we will not record distributions from equity investments as dividend income unless there is sufficient current or accumulated earnings prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

Certain investments have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the loan principal or cost basis of the investment on the respective interest or dividend payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. PIK is recorded as interest or dividend income, as applicable. If at any point we believe PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. Accrued PIK interest or dividends are generally reversed through interest or dividend income, respectively, when an investment is placed on non-accrual status.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

As of June 30, 2020, we had five portfolio companies with eight investment positions on non-accrual status, which represented 3.9% and 2.4% of the total debt investments at cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, we had one portfolio company with three investment positions on non-accrual status, which represented 1.9% and 1.0% of the total debt investments at cost and fair value, respectively.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We also have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code. So long as we maintain our status as a RIC, we will generally not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income or excise taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute at least annually to our stockholders as dividends. As a result, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by us represents obligations of our stockholders and will not be reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

We evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reversed and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. We account for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 — Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements.

In order for us not to be subject to federal excise taxes, we must distribute annually an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of our ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections), (ii) 98.2% of our net capital gains from the current year and (iii) any undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains from preceding years. We, at our discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. If we choose to do so, this generally would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. We accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required on a quarterly basis. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we expensed an excise tax of $0.1 and $0.3 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million remained payable. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we expensed an excise tax of $0 and $0, respectively, of which $0.0 million remained payable.

CBDC Universal Equity, Inc. and Alcentra BDC Equity Holdings, LLC are taxable entities (“Taxable Subsidiaries”). The Taxable Subsidiaries permit us to hold equity investments in portfolio companies which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes and continue to comply with the “source income” requirements contained in RIC tax provisions of the Code. The Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated with us for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities, as a result of their ownership of certain portfolio investments. The income tax expense, or benefit, if any, and related tax assets and liabilities are reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a benefit/(provision) for taxes of $(0.2) million and $0.3 million, respectively, on unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments and net operating losses and federal tax credits related to the Taxable Subsidiaries. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a benefit/(provision) for taxes of $(0.0) million and $(0.5) million, respectively, on unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments and net operating losses and federal tax credits related to the Taxable Subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, was included in deferred tax liability on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities primarily relating to deferred taxes on unrealized gains on investments held in our corporate subsidiaries and other temporary book to tax differences of the corporate subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was included in deferred tax assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities relating to net operating loss carryforwards and unrealized losses on investments and other temporary book to tax differences that are expected to be used in future periods. A portion of the taxable subsidiaries’ net operating loss and capital loss carryovers are subject to an annual use limitation under the Code and related regulations.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no realized gains on investments requiring a recognition of a tax provision.

We intend to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code, pertaining to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income taxes. As of June 30, 2020, we are subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for returns filed for the three most recent calendar years and by state tax authorities for returns filed for the four most recent calendar years.

We may generate qualified net interest income or qualified net short-term capital gains that may be exempt from U.S. withholding tax when distributed to foreign stockholders. A RIC is permitted to designate distributions of qualified net interest income and qualified short-term capital gains as exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid to non-U.S. shareholders with proper documentation. As of June 30, 2020, the percentage of 2020 income estimated as qualified interest income for tax purposes was 94.1%.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU provides optional exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 is elective and can be adopted between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. We expect that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Developments

On July 30, 2020, we completed a private offering of $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.95% senior unsecured notes due July 30, 2023 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued in two closings. The initial issuance of $25.0 million of Notes closed on July 30, 2020. The issuance of the remaining $25.0 million of Notes is expected to occur on or before October 28, 2020.

On August 7, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.41 per share, which will be paid on or about October 15, 2020 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2020.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to financial market risks, including valuation risk, interest rate risk and currency risk.

Valuation Risk

We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, in illiquid debt and equity securities of private companies. These investments will generally not have a readily available market price, and we will value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material. See Note 2. Summary of Significant Account Policies to our consolidated financial statements for more details on estimates and judgments made by us in connection with the valuation of our investments.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. We also fund a portion of our investments with borrowings and our net investment income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

We regularly measure our exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate-sensitive assets to our interest rate-sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

As of June 30, 2020, 96.9% of the investments at fair value in our portfolio were at variable rates, subject to interest rate floors. The SPV Asset Facility and Corporate Revolving Facility also bear interest at variable rates.

Assuming that our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2020 were to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for floating rate instruments):

($ in millions)

 

Basis Point Change                                                                                  

   Interest Income              Interest Expense              Increase (decrease)
    in net assets
resulting  from
operations
 

Up 300 basis points

    $ 24.3      $ 11.5      $ 12.8 

Up 200 basis points

    $ 16.2      $ 7.7      $ 8.5 

Up 100 basis points

    $ 8.1      $ 3.8      $ 4.3   

Down 25 basis points

    $ (0.5)       $ (1.0)       $ 0.5

Down 100 basis points

    $  (0.6)       $ (1.2)       $ 0.6

Although we believe that this analysis is indicative of our existing sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for changes in the credit market, credit quality, the size and composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business developments that could affect our net income. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that actual results would not differ materially from the analysis above.

We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps, futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments.

Currency Risk

From time to time, we may make investments that are denominated in a foreign currency. These investments are converted into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date, exposing us to movements in foreign exchange rates. We may employ hedging techniques to minimize these risks, but we cannot assure you that such strategies will be effective or without risk to us. We may seek to utilize instruments such as, but not limited to, forward contracts to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of our portfolio positions from changes in currency exchange rates. To the extent the loan or investment is based on a floating rate, we may seek to utilize interest rate derivatives to hedge our exposure to changes in the associated rate. As of June 30, 2020, we had £9.1 million and €16.1 million notional exposure to foreign currency forward contracts related to investments totaling £9.4 million and €16.6.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our consolidated financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2020.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under loans to or other contracts with our portfolio companies. In addition, Alcentra Capital was involved in various legal proceedings that we assumed in connection with the Alcentra Acquisition. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with our activities or the activities of our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any such legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these legal proceedings will materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

On or about December 23, 2019, stockholders of Alcentra Capital filed two virtually identical stockholder class action complaints purportedly on behalf of holders of the common stock of Alcentra Capital against the members of Alcentra Capital’s board of directors and certain former Alcentra Capital officers, in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the public stockholders of Alcentra Capital by commencing a sales process allegedly in response to certain actions by Stilwell Value Partners VII, Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, and Stilwell Associates, and by omitting allegedly material information concerning the transaction, the resignation of certain directors of Alcentra, and the financial analysis and fairness opinion of Houlihan Lokey from the joint proxy statement filed with the SEC on December 11, 2019 as part of the registration statement relating to the Alcentra Acquisition. The complaints sought to recover compensatory damages for alleged losses resulting from the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. We assumed indemnification responsibilities owed by Alcentra to its former directors and officers with respect to this proceeding in connection with the Alcentra Acquisition and, in April 2020, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City dismissed both stockholder class action complaints. The plaintiffs in both cases did not timely file an appeal to the decision of the Circuit Court of Baltimore City and as a consequence the dismissal of each class action complaint is final.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. These risks are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Events outside of our control, including public health crises such as the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), may negatively affect the results of our operations.

As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report, there is an outbreak of a highly contagious form of a novel coronavirus known as “COVID-19,” which the World Health Organization has declared a global pandemic. The United States has declared a national emergency, and for the first time in its history, every state in the United States is under a federal disaster declaration. Many states, including those in which we and our portfolio companies operate, have issued orders requiring the closure of non-essential businesses and/or requiring residents to stay at home. The COVID-19 pandemic and preventative measures taken to contain or mitigate its spread have caused, and are continuing to cause, business shutdowns, cancellations of events and travel, significant reductions in demand for certain goods and services, reductions in business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability both globally and in the United States. Such effects will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and for some period thereafter. Potential consequences of the current unprecedented measures taken in response to the spread of COVID-19, and current market disruptions and volatility that may impact our business include, but are not limited to:

 

   

sudden, unexpected and/or severe declines in the market price of our securities or net asset value;

 

   

inability of us to accurately or reliably value our portfolio;

 

   

inability of us to comply with certain asset coverage ratios that would prevent us from paying dividends to our common stockholders and that could result breaches of covenants or events of default under our credit agreement or debt indentures;

 

   

inability of us to pay any dividends and distributions or service our debt;

 

   

inability of us to maintain our status as a regulated investment company under the Code;

 

   

potentially severe, sudden and unexpected declines in the value of our investments;

 

   

increased risk of default or bankruptcy by the companies in which we invest;

 

   

increased risk of companies in which we invest being unable to weather an extended cessation of normal economic activity and thereby impairing their ability to continue functioning as a going concern;

 

   

reduced economic demand resulting from mass employee layoffs or furloughs in response to governmental action taken to slow the spread of COVID-19, which could impact the continued viability of the companies in which we invest;

 

   

companies in which we invest being disproportionally impacted by governmental action aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19 or mitigating its economic effects;

 

   

limited availability of new investment opportunities;

 

   

inability of us to replace our existing leverage when it becomes due or to replace it on terms as favorable as our existing leverage;

 

   

a reduction in interest rates, including interest rates based on LIBOR and similar benchmarks, which may adversely impact our ability to lend money at attractive rates; and

 

   

general threats to our ability to continue investment operations and to operate successfully as a business development company.

The COVID-19 pandemic (including the preventative measures taken in response thereto) has to date (i) created significant business disruption issues for certain of our portfolio companies, and (ii) materially and adversely impacted the value and performance of certain of our portfolio companies. The COVID-19 pandemic is continuing as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report, and its extended duration may have further adverse impacts on our portfolio companies after June 30, 2020, including for the reasons described below. Although on March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which contains provisions intended to mitigate the adverse economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is uncertain whether, or how much, our portfolio companies will be able to benefit from the CARES Act or any other subsequent legislation intended to provide financial relief or assistance. As a result of this disruption and the pressures on their liquidity, certain of our portfolio companies have been, or may continue to be, incentivized to draw on most, if not all, of the unfunded portion of any revolving or delayed draw term loans made by us, subject to availability under the terms of such loans.

Table of Contents

The effects described above on our portfolio companies could impact their ability to make payments on their loans on a timely basis and may impact their ability to continue making their loan payments on a timely basis or meeting their loan covenants. The inability of portfolio companies to make timely payments or meet loan covenants may in the future require us to undertake amendment actions with respect to our investments or to restructure our investments, which may include the need for us to make additional investments in our portfolio companies (including debt or equity investments) beyond any existing commitments, exchange debt for equity, or change the payment terms of our investments to permit a portfolio company to pay a portion of its interest through payment-in-kind, which would defer the cash collection of such interest and add it to the principal balance, which would generally be due upon repayment of the outstanding principal.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the fair value of our investments as of June 30, 2020, and the values presently assigned may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize with respect to our investments. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may not yet be fully reflected in the valuation of our investments as our valuations, and particularly valuations of private investments and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and are often based on estimates, comparisons and qualitative evaluations of private information that is often historical. As a result, our valuations at June 30, 2020 may not show the complete or continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting measures taken in response thereto. In addition, write downs in the value of our investments have reduced, and any additional write downs may further reduce, our net asset value (and, as a result, our asset coverage calculation). Accordingly, we may continue to incur additional net unrealized losses or may incur realized losses after June 30, 2020, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The volatility and disruption to the global economy from the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the pace of our investment activity, which could adversely impact our results of operations. This volatility and disruption has also increased spreads in the private debt capital markets.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our Advisor instituted a work from home policy until it is deemed safe to return to the office. Such a policy of an extended period of remote working by our Advisor and/or its affiliate’s employees could strain our technology resources and introduce operational risks, including heightened cybersecurity risk. Remote working environments may be less secure and more susceptible to hacking attacks, including phishing and social engineering attempts that seek to exploit the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite actions of the U.S. federal government and foreign governments, the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors has contributed to significant volatility and declines in the global public equity markets and global debt capital markets, including the market price of shares of our common stock and the trading prices of our issued debt securities. See “Risk Factors-Risks Relating to Our Business and Structure-Global capital markets could enter a period of severe disruption and instability. These conditions have historically affected and could again materially and adversely affect debt and equity capital markets in the United States and around the world and our business.” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

It is virtually impossible to determine the ultimate impact of COVID-19 at this time. Accordingly, an investment in us is subject to an elevated degree of risk as compared to other market environments.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Stock Repurchase Program

On January 31, 2020, we entered into a $20.0 million repurchase plan which allowed us to purchase shares in the open market any time our common stock traded below ninety percent (90%) of the most recently disclosed net asset value per share. The plan was subject to compliance with our liquidity, covenant, leverage and regulatory requirements. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase plan, repurchases began on March 2, 2020. We have provided our stockholders with notice of our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock in accordance with 1940 Act requirements. We have retired all such shares of common stock that we purchased in connection with the stock repurchase program. On April 9, 2020, our Board of Directors unanimously approved the termination of our stock repurchase program.

The following table presents information with respect to our stock repurchase program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Except as amended or consented to hereby, the Loan Agreement and other Transaction Documents remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

5.95% Series 2020A Senior Notes due July 30, 2023

July 30, 2020

TO EACH OF THE PURCHASERS LISTED IN THE PURCHASER SCHEDULE HERETO:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

CRESCENT CAPITAL BDC, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows:

 

SECTION 1.

AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES; INTEREST RATE.

Section 1.1. Authorization of Notes. The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.95% Series 2020A Senior Notes due July 30, 2023 (the “Series 2020A Notes”; such term shall also include any such notes as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to Section 17 and including any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13). The Series 2020A Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule A and, for purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Section 22.4 shall govern.

The Series 2020A Notes, together with each Series of Additional Notes which may from time to time be issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2, are collectively referred to as the “Notes” (such term shall also include any such notes as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to Section 17 and including any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13).

Section 1.2. [Reserved] .

Section 1.3. Changes in Interest Rate. (a) If at any time a Below Investment Grade Event occurs, then:

(i) as of the date of the occurrence of the Below Investment Grade Event to and until the date on which such Below Investment Grade Event is no longer continuing (as evidenced by the receipt and delivery to the holders of the Notes of any Rating necessary to cure such Below Investment Grade Event), the Notes shall bear interest at the Adjusted Interest Rate; and


(ii) the Company shall promptly, and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after a Below Investment Grade Event has occurred, notify the holders of the Notes in writing, sent in the manner provided in Section 18, that a Below Investment Grade Event has occurred, which written notice shall be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Required Holders to such effect and confirming the effective date of the Below Investment Grade Event and that the Adjusted Interest Rate will be payable in respect of the Notes in consequence thereof.

(b) Each holder of a Note shall, at the Company’s expense, use reasonable efforts to cooperate with any reasonable request made by the Company in connection with any rating appeal or application.

(c) The fees and expenses of any NRSRO and all other costs incurred in connection with obtaining, affirming or appealing a Rating pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be borne solely by the Company.

(d) As used herein, “Adjusted Interest Rate” means the interest rate on the Notes shall be the rate per annum which is 1.00% above the stated rate of the Notes.

(e) As used herein, a “Below Investment Grade Event” shall occur if

(i) at any time the Company has obtained a Rating of the Notes from only one NRSRO, the then most recent Rating from such NRSRO that is in full force and effect (not having been withdrawn) is less than Investment Grade; or

(ii) at any time the Company has obtained a Rating of the Notes from two NRSROs, the then lower of the most recent Ratings from the NRSROs that are in full force and effect (not having been withdrawn) is less than Investment Grade; or

(iii) at any time the Company has obtained a Rating of the Notes from three or more NRSROs, the then second lowest of the most recent Ratings from the NRSROs that is in full force and effect (not having been withdrawn) is less than Investment Grade (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, if two or more of the most recent Ratings are equal or equivalent as the lowest such Rating, then one of such equal or equivalent Ratings will be deemed to be the second lowest Rating for purposes of such determination); or

(iv) at any time the Company shall have failed to receive and deliver to the holders of the Notes a Rating of the Notes from at least one NRSRO as required pursuant to Section 9.8(b).

(f) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Notes shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

-2-


Section 1.4. Issue Discount. The Company and the Purchasers agree that for purposes of Section 1273(b) of the Code and Treasury Reg. Section 1.1275-3(b) the aggregate issue price of the Series 2020A Notes is $49,595,000 or approximately $991.90 per $1,000 principal amount of the Series 2020A Notes for purposes of Section 1273 of the Code, the Series 2020A Notes have aggregate original issue discount of $405,000 or approximately $8.10 per $1,000 principal amount, the issue date of the Series 2020A Notes is July 30, 2020; and the yield to maturity of the Series 2020A Notes for purposes of Treasury Reg. Section 1.1272-1(b) is approximately 6.25%. The issue prices and values set forth above shall be the issue prices and values ascribed to the Notes by the Company and the Purchasers and any subsequent holder of the Notes for all purposes, including the preparation of tax returns and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements.

 

SECTION 2.

SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.

Section 2.1. Purchase and Sale of Series 2020A Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at such Closing provided for in Section 3, Series 2020A Notes in the principal amount and tranche specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule at the purchase price of 99.19% of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

Section 2.2. Additional Series of Notes. The Company may, from time to time, in its sole discretion but subject to the terms hereof, issue and sell one or more additional Series of its promissory notes under the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to a supplement (a “Supplement”) substantially in the form of Exhibit S. Each additional Series of Notes (the “Additional Notes”) issued pursuant to a Supplement shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) each Series of Additional Notes, when so issued, shall be differentiated from all previous Series by sequential designation inscribed thereon (provided however, Additional Notes may have the same Private Placement Number as the Series 2020A Notes so long as such Additional Notes have the same interest rate and tenor as and for U.S. federal income tax purposes are fungible with the Series 2020A Notes);

(ii) Additional Notes of the same Series may consist of more than one different and separate tranches and may differ with respect to outstanding principal amounts, maturity dates, interest rates and premiums, if any, and price and terms of redemption or payment prior to maturity, but all such different and separate tranches of the same Series shall vote as a single class and constitute one Series;

(iii) each Series of Additional Notes shall be dated the date of issue, bear interest at such rate or rates, mature on such date or dates, be subject to such mandatory and optional prepayment on the dates and at the premiums, if any, have such additional or different conditions precedent to closing, such representations and warranties and such additional covenants as shall be specified in the Supplement under which such Additional Notes are issued and upon execution of any such Supplement, this Agreement shall be amended (a) to reflect such additional covenants without further action on the part of the holders of the Notes outstanding under this Agreement, provided, that any such additional covenants shall inure to the benefit of all holders of Notes so long as any Additional Notes issued pursuant to such Supplement remain outstanding, and (b) to reflect such representations and warranties as are contained in such Supplement for the benefit of the holders of such Additional Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 16;

 

-3-


(iv) each Series of Additional Notes issued under this Agreement shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit 1 to Exhibit S hereto with such variations, omissions and insertions as are necessary or permitted hereunder;

(v) the minimum principal amount of any Note issued under a Supplement shall be $100,000, except as may be necessary to evidence the outstanding amount of any Note originally issued in a denomination of $100,000 or more;

(vi) all Additional Notes shall rank pari passu with all other outstanding Notes; and

(vii) no Additional Notes shall be issued hereunder if at the time of issuance thereof and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof, any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

SECTION 3.

CLOSING.

The sale and purchase of the Series 2020A Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Chapman and Cutler LLP, 111 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, at 9:00 A.M. Chicago time, at not more than two closings (each individually a “Closing” and, collectively, the “Closings”). The first Closing shall be held on July 30, 2020 (the “First Closing Date”); provided, however, that the First Closing Date may be moved to such other Business Day thereafter as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers. The second Closing shall be held on such Business Day as the Company shall designate (the “Second Closing Date”) by notice to each Purchaser at least ten days prior to the Second Closing Date; provided, however, that the Second Closing Date may not be later than October 28, 2020 unless agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers (each of the First Closing Date and the Second Closing Date being a “Closing Date”). At each Closing the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Series 2020A Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Series 2020A Note for all such Series 2020A Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser (or, in each case, such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least $100,000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the date of such Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Company pursuant to the applicable funding instructions in Section 4.10. If at such Closing the Company shall fail to tender such Series 2020A Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure by the Company to tender such Series 2020A Notes or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 not having been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction.

 

-4-

Section 4.4. Opinions of Counsel.

On the date of such Closing such Purchaser’s purchase of Notes shall (a) be permitted by the laws and regulations of each jurisdiction to which such Purchaser is subject, without recourse to provisions (such as section 1405(a)(8) of the New York Insurance Law) permitting limited investments by insurance companies without restriction as to the character of the particular investment, (b) not violate any applicable law or regulation (including Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and (c) not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty or liability under or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, which law or regulation was not in effect on the date hereof.

Section 8.1. Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof.

Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments. The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than $1,000,000, in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment, plus the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount; provided, that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, at any time on or after January 30, 2023 the Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay all or any part of the Notes at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with, in each case, accrued interest to the prepayment date. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2(a) not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 17. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

Section 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

 

-23-


Section 8.4. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.5. Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any Controlled Entity to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or a Controlled Entity pro rata to the holders of the applicable series of Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10 Business Days. If the holders of more than 20% of the principal amount of the applicable series of Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such series of Notes of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of such series of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least five Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Controlled Entity pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.6. Make-Whole Amount .

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

 

-24-


If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

 

-25-


“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) except as set forth in clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 8.8. Change in Control.

(a) Notice of Change in Control. The Company will, within five Business Days after any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes. Such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes as described in subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.8 and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in subparagraph (e) of this Section 8.8.

(b) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.8 shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.8, all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”). Such date shall be not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such offer (if the Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the first Business Day after the 45th day after the date of such offer).

(c) Acceptance/Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.8 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than 10 days after receipt by such holder of the most recent offer of prepayment. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be deemed to constitute rejection of such offer by such holder.

(d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest on such Notes accrued to, but excluding, the date of prepayment, but without Make-Whole Amount or other premium.

(e) Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Financial Officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer, specifying: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.8; (iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid; (iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to, but excluding, the Proposed Prepayment Date; (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.8 have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, the nature and date or proposed date of the Change in Control.

The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

Section 9.5. Corporate Existence, Etc. Subject to Section 10.2, the Company will at all times preserve and keep its corporate existence in full force and effect. Subject to Section 10.2, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes.

SECTION 20.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser or Additional Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or any Supplement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s or Additional Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser Additional Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available.

The Section references hereinafter set forth correspond to the similar sections of the Note Purchase Agreement which are supplemented hereby:

Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since [TO BE UPDATED], there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of the Company or any Subsidiary except changes that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Company that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents.

Section 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates. (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists as of the date of the Series              Closing of (i) the Company’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary and whether such Subsidiary is a Subsidiary Guarantor, and (ii) the Company’s directors and senior officers.

Section 5.5. Financial Statements; Material Liabilities. The Company has delivered to each Additional Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5. All of such financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes, but excluding all financial projections, pro forma financial information and other forward-looking information) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments and lack of footnotes).


Section 5.13. Private Offering by the Company. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Notes or any substantially similar debt Securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy the Notes or any substantially similar debt Securities from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other than the Additional Purchasers and not more than                      other Institutional Investors, each of which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration requirements of any Securities or blue sky laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

Section 5.14. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations The Company will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Notes hereunder for the general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries and as otherwise set forth in the section of the                      entitled “                    ”. No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any Securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220). Margin stock does not constitute more than     % of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than     % of the value of such assets. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U.

Section 5.15. Existing Indebtedness; Future Liens. (a) Except as described therein, Schedule 5.15 sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of                     , since which date there has been no Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries. As of                     , neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.
