Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of accounting—The Company’sCompany's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘‘GAAP’’("GAAP"). The Company is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—ServicesInvestment Companies, (‘‘ ("ASC 946’’946"). The Company consolidates its wholly-owned direct subsidiarysubsidiaries GIII SPV.

SPV and GIII OEC.

The Company’sCompany's consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition for the period(s) presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses when incurred. The financial results of the Company’sCompany's portfolio investments are not consolidated in the financial statements.

The Company’sCompany's interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 6 orand 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included. The current period’speriod's results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

2022.

Investments—The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Investments are reflected on the Company’sCompany's Consolidated StatementStatements of Assets, Liabilities and Members’Members' Capital at fair value, with changes in unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in the Company’sCompany's Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Net"Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments”investments" and realizations on portfolio investments reflected in the Company’sCompany's Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Net"Net realized gains (losses) on investments”investments".

The Company values its assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. In all cases, the Company’sCompany's board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including investments that are not publicly traded, those whose market prices are not readily available and any other situation where its portfolio investments require a fair value determination. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The Company’sCompany's quarterly valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:

(1)Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing price indicated from independent pricing services.

(2)Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP.

a.Bond quotes are obtained through independent pricing services. Internal reviews are performed by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and, if so, the quote is used. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment’sinvestment's par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below); and

b.For investments other than bonds, the Company looks at the number of quotes readily available and performs the following procedures:

i.Investments for which two or more quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained.

The Company will evaluate the reasonableness of the quote, and if the quote is determined to not be representative of fair value, the Company will use one or more of the methodologies outlined below to determine fair value; and

ii.Investments for which one quote is received from a pricing service are validated internally. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate the fair value. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote

internally and if the investment’sinvestment's par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below).

(3)Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process:

38

Table of Contents
a.Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for the credit monitoring;

b.Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with the Company’sCompany's senior management;

c.If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment’sinvestment's par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which the Company does not have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company’sCompany's board of directors; and

d.When deemed appropriate by the Company’sCompany's management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to review and value investment(s) of a portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being performed by the Investment Adviser. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.

For investments in revolving credit facilities and delayed draw commitments, the cost basis of the funded investments purchased is offset by any costs/netbacks received for any unfunded portion on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for the price appreciation or depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of a commitment not completely funded may result in a negative fair value until it is called and funded.

The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are liquidated. 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’sCompany's investments may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations could be material.

See Note 3. Investments, for further discussion relating to investments.

Cash and cash equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term, highly liquid investments. The Company defines cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and so near maturity that there is insignificant risk of changes in value. These securities have original maturities of three months or less. The Company did not hold any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019.

2022 and December 31, 2021.

Revenue recognition

Sales and paydowns of investments:Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification method.

Interest and dividend income:Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount using the effective interest method, is recorded on the accrual basis and periodically assessed for collectability. Interest income also includes interest earned from cash on hand. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties are recorded as part of interest income. The Company has loans and certain preferred equity investments in theits portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”("PIK") interest or dividend provision. PIK interest isand dividends are accrued and recorded as income at the contractual rates, if deemed collectible. The PIK interest isand dividends are added to the principal balanceor share balances on the capitalization datedates and isare generally due at maturity or when redeemed by the issuer. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the period from May 22, 2019 (inception) to September 30, 2019,2022, the Company recognized PIK interest from investments of $61.

$2,144 and $5,498, respectively, and PIK dividends from investments of $2,200 and $5,886, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized PIK interest from investments of $477 and $779, respectively, and PIK dividends from investments of $679 and $924, respectively.

Non-accrual income:Investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due for 30 days or more and when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-

capitalizedun-capitalized PIK interest or dividends are reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends are not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest or dividend payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’smanagement's judgment of the ultimate collectibility. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’smanagement's judgment, are likely to remain current.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no investments were on non-accrual status.

OtherFee income:  OtherFee income represents delayed compensation, consent or amendment fees, revolver fees, structuring fees, upfront fees and other miscellaneous fees received and are typically non-recurring in nature. Delayed compensation is income earned from counterparties on trades that do not settle within a set number of business days after trade date. OtherFee income may also include fees from bridge loans. The Company may from time to time enter into bridge financing commitments, an obligation to provide
39

Table of Contents
interim financing to a counterparty until permanent credit can be obtained. These commitments are short-term in nature and may expire unfunded. A fee is received by the Company for providing such commitments. Structuring fees and upfront fees are recognized as income when earned, usually when paid at the closing of the investment, and are non-refundable.

Income received in exchange for the provision of services such as recurring administration services are also recognized as fee income in the period in which it was earned.

Interest and other financing expenses—Interest and other financing fees are recorded on an accrual basis by the Company. See Note 6. Borrowings, for details.

Organizational expenses—Organizational expenses include costs and expenses incurred in connection with the formation and organization of the Company and are expensed as incurred in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Any organizational and offering expenses paid by the Company in excess of the lesser of $2,000 or 0.50% of the aggregate Capital Commitments will be applied as a reduction to the base management fee paid to the Investment Adviser and cannot be recouped by the Investment Adviser.

Deferred offering costs—The Company’s deferred offering costs consists of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the Company’s Units. Upon the issuance of Units, deferred offering costs are then amortized into expense to Organizational and Offering Expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight line basis over a period of 12 months beginning on the date of commencement of operations. Deferred offering costs are included on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Members’ Capital. Any organizational and offering expenses paid by the Company in excess of the lesser of $2,000 or 0.50% of the aggregate Capital Commitments will be applied as a reduction to the base management fee paid to the Investment Adviser and cannot be recouped by the Investment Adviser.

Deferred financing costs—The deferred financing costs of the Company consist of capitalized expenses related to the origination and amending of the Company’sCompany's borrowings. The Company amortizes these costs into expense over the stated life of the related borrowing. See Note 6. Borrowings, for details.

Income taxes—The Company intends to electhas elected to be treated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Subchapter M of the Code with the filing of its first tax return for the year ending December 31, 2019, and thereafter intends to comply with the requirements to qualify and maintain its status as a RIC annually. As a RIC, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of taxable income and gains timely distributed to its unitholders.

To continue to qualify and be subject to tax treatment as a RIC, the Company is required to meet certain income and asset diversification tests in addition to timely distributing at least 90.0% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. Since U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes.

Differences between taxable income and the results of operations for financial reporting purposes may be permanent or temporary in nature. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, distributions paid to unitholders of the Company are reported as ordinary income, return of capital, long term capital gains or a combination thereof.

The Company will be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the Company distributes, in a timely manner as required by the Code, an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of its

respective net ordinary income earned for the calendar year and (2) 98.2% of its respective capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in the calendar year.

Certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. These taxable entities are not consolidated for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax liabilities or assets from permanent and temporary differences in the recognition of items for financial reporting and U.S. federal income tax purposes.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized a total income tax benefit (provision) of approximately $102 and $(5), respectively, for the Company's consolidated subsidiary. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded current income tax benefit of approximately $5 and $54, respectively, and deferred income tax benefit (provision) of $97 and $(59), respectively, for the Company's consolidated subsidiary. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, no current income tax expense or deferred income tax provision were recognized by the Company for its consolidated subsidiary.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $59 and $0, respectively, of deferred tax liabilities primarily relating to deferred taxes attributable to certain differences between the computation of income for the U.S. federal income tax purposes as compared to GAAP.
Based on its analysis, the Company has determined that there were no uncertain tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not threshold as defined by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) through December 31, 2021. The 2019 through 2021 tax years and forward remains subject to examination by the U.S. federal, state, and local tax authorities.
Distributions—Distributions to the Company’sCompany's unitholders are recorded on the record date as set by the Company's board of directors. The Company intends to make timely distributions to its unitholders that will be sufficient to enable the Company to qualify and maintain its status as a RIC. The Company intends to distribute approximately all of its net investment
40

Table of Contents
income on a quarterly basis and substantially all of its taxable income on an annual basis, except that the Company may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.

Earnings per Unit—The Company’sCompany's earnings per unit (“EPU”("EPU") amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of Units outstanding for the period. Basic EPU is computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in members’members' capital resulting from operations by the weighted average number of Units outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted EPU is computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in members’members' capital resulting from operations by the weighted average number of Units assuming all potential sharesUnits had been issued, and its related net impact to members’members' capital accounted for, and the additional Units were dilutive. Diluted EPU reflects the potential dilution, using the as-if-converted method for convertible debt, which could occur if all potentially dilutive securities were exercised.

Foreign securities—The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies on the respective dates of the transactions. 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 market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with “Net"Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments”investments" and “Net"Net realized gains (losses) on investments”investments" in the Company’sCompany's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investments denominated in foreign currencies may be negatively affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and such foreign currencies. This movement is beyond the control of the Company and cannot be predicted.

Use of estimates—The preparation of the Company’sCompany's consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’sCompany's consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and other metrics used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used, and the differences could be material.

The unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities and delayed draws are disclosed on the Company's Consolidated Schedule of Investments as of December 31, 2021.
Investment Risk Factors

First and second lien debt that the Company invests in is almost entirely rated below investment grade or may be unrated. Debt investments rated below investment grade are often referred to as “leveraged loans”"leveraged loans", “high yield”"high yield" or “junk”"junk" debt investments, and may be considered “high risk”"high risk" compared to debt investments that are rated investment grade. These debt investments are considered speculative because of the credit risk of the issuers. Such issuers are considered more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal, and such risk of default could reduce the members’members' capital and income distributions of the Company. In addition, some of the Company’sCompany's debt investments will not fully amortize during their lifetime, which could result in a loss or a substantial amount of unpaid principal and interest due upon maturity. First and second lien debt may also lose significant market value before a default occurs. Furthermore, an active trading market may not exist for these first and second lien debt investments. This illiquidity may make it more difficult to value the debt.

Subordinated debt is generally subject to similar risks as those associated with first and second lien debt, except that such debt is subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority. Subordinated debt is subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and the property securing the debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured and unsecured obligations of the borrower.

The Company may directly invest in the equity of private companies or, in some cases, equity investments could be made in connection with a debt investment. Equity investments may or may not fluctuate in value, resulting in recognized realized gains or losses upon disposition.

The Company’s operating results and portfolio companies may be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, public health restriction have been partially or fully lifted throughout most of the United States and globally. However, new variants of COVID-19, challenges regarding distribution, hesitancy and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, and the reintroduction of related advisories and restrictions may prolong the

Table of Contents

effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. To the extent our portfolio companies are adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may have a material adverse impact on our future net investment income, the fair value of our portfolio investments and our financial condition.
While general economic conditions have improved since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to see reductions in business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability both in the United States and globally. The COVID-19 pandemic has and continues to have an adverse impact on the markets and the economy in general, which could have a material adverse impact on, among other things, the ability of lenders to originate loans, the volume and type of loans originated, and the volume and type of amendments and waivers granted to borrowers and remedial actions taken in the event of a borrower default, each of which could negatively impact the amount and quality of loans available for investment by the Company and returns to the Company, among other things. Any potential impact to our results of operations will depend to a large extent on future developments and new information that could emerge regarding the duration and severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by authorities and other entities to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, all of which are beyond our control. These potential impacts, while uncertain, could adversely affect our and our portfolio companies’ operating results.
Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy and most other major global economies may continue to experience downturns, and we anticipate our business and operations could be materially adversely affected by a prolonged recession in the United States and other major markets.
Note 4. Fair Value

Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between    market participants at the measurement date. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure ("ASC 820820") establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring investments at fair value. The hierarchy classifies the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:

Level I—Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical investments and the Company has the ability to access such quotes as of the reporting date. The type of investments which would generally be included in Level I include active exchange-traded equity securities and exchange-traded derivatives. As required by ASC 820, the Company, to the extent that it holds such investments, does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Level II—Pricing inputs are observable for the investments, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date, but are not the same as those used in Level I. Level II inputs include the following:

·Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

·Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);

·Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-counter derivatives, including foreign exchange forward contracts); and

·Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels. In all instances when the inputs fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. As such, a Level III fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable and unobservable. Gains and losses for such assets categorized within the Level III table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs and unobservable inputs.

The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation by management and consideration of factors specific to each investment. A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in the transfer of certain investments within the fair value hierarchy from period to period.

(1)As of September 30, 2021, portfolio investments were transferred out of Level III into Level II at fair value as of the beginning of the period in which the reclassification occurred.    
Except as noted in the tables above, there were no other transfers in or out of Level I, II, or III during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192022 and the period from May 22, 2019 (inception) to September 30, 2019.2021. Transfers into Level III occur as quotations obtained through pricing services are deemed not representative of fair value as of the balance sheet date and such assets are internally valued. As quotations obtained through pricing services are substantiated through additional market sources, investments are transferred out of Level III. In addition, transfers out of Level III and transfers into Level III occur based on the increase or decrease in the availability of certain observable inputs. Investments will be transferred into Level III from Level II and out of Level III into Level II at fair value as of the beginning of the period in which the reclassification occurred.

The Company invests in revolving credit facilities. These investments are categorized as Level III investments as these assets are not actively traded and their fair values are often implied by the term loans of the respective portfolio companies.

The Company generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments where there are little, if any, market activity or observable pricing inputs. The Company typically determines the fair value of its performing debt investments utilizing an income approach. Additional consideration is given using a market based approach, as well as reviewing the overall underlying portfolio company’scompany's performance and associated financial risks. The following outlines additional details on the approaches considered:

Company Performance, Financial Review, and Analysis:Prior to investment, as part of its due diligence process, the Company evaluates the overall performance and financial stability of the portfolio company. Post investment, the Company analyzes each portfolio company’scompany's current operating performance and relevant financial trends versus prior year and budgeted results, including, but not limited to, factors affecting its revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”)EBITDA growth, margin trends, liquidity position, covenant compliance and changes to its capital structure. The Company also attempts to identify and subsequently track any developments at the portfolio company, within its customer or vendor base or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment, generally, that may alter any material element of its original investment thesis. This analysis is specific to each portfolio company. The Company leverages the knowledge gained from its original due diligence process, augmented by this subsequent monitoring, to continually refine its outlook for each of its portfolio companies and ultimately form the valuation of its investment in each portfolio company. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale occurs, the Company will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private valuation.

For debt investments, the Company may employ the Market Based Approach (as described below) to assess the total enterprise value of the portfolio company, in order to evaluate the enterprise value coverage of the Company’sCompany's debt investment. For equity investments or in cases where the Market Based Approach implies a lack of enterprise value coverage for the debt investment, the Company may additionally employ a discounted cash flow analysis based on the free cash flows of the portfolio company to assess the total enterprise value. After enterprise value coverage is demonstrated for the Company’sCompany's debt investments through the method(s) above, the Income Based Approach (as described below) may be employed to estimate the fair value of the investment.

Market Based Approach:The Company may estimate the total enterprise value of each portfolio company by utilizing market value cash flow (EBITDA)EBITDA or revenue multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and comparable transactions. The Company considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose trading multiples are used to value its portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, and relevant risk

factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. The Company may apply an average of various relevant comparable company EBITDA or revenue multiples to the portfolio company’scompany's latest twelve month (“LTM”("LTM") EBITDA or revenue or projected EBITDA or revenue to calculate the enterprise value of the portfolio company. Significant increases or decreases in the EBITDA multipleor revenue multiples will result in an increase or decrease in enterprise value, which may result in an increase or decrease in the fair value estimate of the investment. In applying the market based approach as of September 30, 20192022 and December 31, 2021, the Company used the relevant EBITDA or revenue multiple ranges set forth in the table below to determine the enterprise value of its portfolio companies. The Company believes these were reasonable ranges in light of current comparable company trading levels and the specific portfolio companies involved.

Income Based Approach: The Company also may use a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of the investment. Projected cash flows represent the relevant security’ssecurity's contractual interest, fee and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the investment’sinvestment's expected maturity date. These cash flows are discounted at a rate established utilizing a combination of a yield calibration approach whichand a comparable investment approach. The yield calibration approach incorporates changes in the credit quality (as measured by relevant statistics) of the portfolio company, as compared to changes in the yield associated with comparable credit quality market indices, between the date of origination and the valuation date. The comparable investment approach utilizes an average yield-to-maturity of a selected set of high-quality, liquid investments to determine a comparable investment discount rate. Significant increases or decreases in the discount rate would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value measurement. In applying the income based approach as of September 30, 20192022 and December 31, 2021, the Company used the discount ranges set forth in the table below to value investments in its portfolio companies.

Note 5. Agreements and Related Parties

The Company entered into an investment advisory and management agreement (the “InvestmentInvestment Management Agreement”)Agreement (as defined below) with the Investment Adviser. Under the Investment Management Agreement,investment advisory and management agreement, the Investment Adviser will managemanages the day-to-day operations of, and provideprovides investment advisory services, to the Company. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives an annual base management fee and incentive fee from the Company.

The Company's board of directors initially approved an investment advisory and management agreement (the "Prior Investment Management Agreement") between the Company and the Investment Adviser on June 18, 2019. Following approval from the Company's initial unitholders, the Prior Investment Management Agreement became effective on July 15, 2019. Pursuant to Section 15(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, the Prior Investment Management Agreement had an initial term of two years, concluding on July 15, 2021, which term could be continued only so long as such continuance was approved annually by the Company's board of directors, including a majority of the directors who are not considered "interested persons" of the Company, as the term is used under Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. Before the Prior Investment Management Agreement’s expiration, the Company inadvertently failed to present the Prior Investment Management Agreement for renewal to its board of directors as required by Section 15(a)(2) of the 1940 Act. The failure to renew the term of the Prior Investment Management Agreement for the succeeding annual period beginning July 15, 2021 was wholly inadvertent and unintentional and did not reflect the intent and desire of the Company's board of directors or the Investment Adviser. Therefore, the Prior Investment Management Agreement was, unbeknownst to all parties involved, terminated as a technical matter effective as of July 15, 2021.
On February 16, 2022, the Company's board of directors approved a new investment advisory and management agreement (the "Investment Management Agreement") between the Company and the Investment Adviser. The Prior Investment Management Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement are identical in all material respects, including the compensation and other terms set forth therein, with the exception of the dates of execution, effectiveness and termination. On March 3, 2022, a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company approved the Investment Management Agreement via written consent. On March 21, 2022, the Company filed an Information Statement on Schedule 14C pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, reflecting the unitholders' approval of the Investment Management Agreement. As a result of this approval, the Investment Management Agreement became effective on April 11, 2022. The Investment Management Agreement will have a term of two years beginning April 11, 2022, and thereafter shall continue automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (A) the vote of the board of directors, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and (B) the vote of a majority of the Company's directors who are not parties to this the Investment Management Agreement or "interested persons" (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of any such party, in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act.
Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.15% of the aggregate contributed capital from all unitholders (including any outstanding borrowings under any subscription line drawn in lieu of capital calls) less any return of capital distributions and less any cumulative realized losses since inception (calculated net of any subsequently reversed realized losses and net of any realized gains) as of the last day of the applicable quarter. For the period from the effective date of the Investment Management Agreement, July 15, 2019, through June 30, 2020, the base management fee will be reduced by 50% (0.575% through June 30, 2020). The base management fee could also be reduced by any voluntary fee waivers made by the Investment Adviser. The management fee will be reduced, but not below zero, by any amounts paid by the Company or its subsidiaries to a placement agent, any organizational and offering expenses in excess of the lesser of $2,000 or 0.50% of the aggregate Capital Commitments and any fund expenses in excess of the Specified Expenses Cap as(as defined below.

below).

The Investment Adviser has entered into agreements with placement agents that provide for ongoing payments from the Investment Adviser based upon the amount of a unitholder’sunitholder's Capital Commitment or capital contributions. Neither the Company nor any unitholders will bear any of the fees paid to placement agents of the Company as any such fees paid by the Company will offset the management fees.

The incentive fee will consist of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the incentive fee is based on a percentage of the Company’sCompany's income and a portion is based on a percentage of the Company’sCompany's capital gains, each as described below.

Incentive Fee on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income

The portion based on the Company’sCompany's income (the ‘‘Income"Income Incentive Fee’’Fee") is based on pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income expressed as a rate of return on the value of our members’ capital at the end of the immediate preceding quarter, is compared to a ‘‘hurdle rate’’ of return of 1.75% per quarter (7.0% annualized).

The Company will pay the Investment Adviser an incentive fee quarterly in arrears with respect to the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

·                  no incentive fee based on pre-incentive fee net investment income in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75%;

·                  100% of the dollar amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to a rate of return of 2.059% (8.235% annualized). The Company refers to this portion of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.059%) as the ‘‘catch-up.’’ The ‘‘catch-up’’ is meant to provide the Investment Adviser with approximately 15.0% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 2.059% in any calendar quarter; and

·                  15.0% of the dollar amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds a rate of return of 2.059% (8.235% annualized). This reflects that once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 15.0% of all pre-incentive fee net investment income thereafter is allocated to the Investment Adviser. ‘‘("Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income’’Income"). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income means interest income, dividend income and any otherfee income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, upfront, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from Portfolio Companies)portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and

outstanding preferred units, but

excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that 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.

15.0% of the dollar amount of the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds a rate of return of 2.059% (8.235% annualized). This reflects that once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 15.0% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter is allocated to the Investment Adviser.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, there were no incentive fees waived. The fees that are payable under the Investment Management Agreement for any partial period will be appropriately prorated.

Incentive Fee on Capital Gains

The second component of the incentive fee is the capital gains incentive fee. The Company will pay the Investment Adviser an incentive fee with respect to our cumulative realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation since inception (‘‘("Cumulative Net Realized Gains’’Gains") based on the waterfall below:

a.First, no incentive fee is payable to the Investment Adviser on Cumulative Net Realized Gains until total return of capital distributions, distributions of net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains to unitholders is equal to total capital contributions;

b.Second, no incentive is payable to the Investment Adviser on Cumulative Net Realized Gains until the Company has paid cumulative distributions equal to an annualized, cumulative internal rate of return of 7.0% on the total contributed capital to the Company calculated from the date that each such amount was due to be contributed to the Company until the date each such distribution is paid;

c.Third, upon a distribution that results in cumulative distributions exceeding the amounts in clause (a) and (b) above, an incentive fee on capital gains payable to the Investment Adviser equal to 100%100.0% of the amount of Cumulative Net Realized Gains until the Investment Adviser has received (together with amounts the Investment Adviser has received under Income Incentive Fees) an amount equal to 15.0% of the sum of (i) the cumulative distributions to unitholders made pursuant to clause (b) above, (ii) Income Incentive Fee paid to the Investment Adviser and (iii) amounts paid to the Investment Adviser pursuant to this clause (c); and

d.Thereafter, an incentive fee on capital gains equal to 15.0% of additional undistributed Cumulative Net Realized Gains.

Upon termination of the Company, the Investment Adviser will be required to return incentive fees to the Company to the extent that: (i) the Investment Adviser has received cumulative incentive fees in excess of 15.0% of the sum of (A) the Company’sCompany's cumulative distributions other than return of capital contributions and (B) the incentive fees paid to the Investment Adviser; or (ii) the unitholders have not received a 7.0% cumulative internal rate of return; provided that in no event will such restoration be more than the incentive fees received by the Investment Adviser.

In accordance with GAAP, the Company accrues a hypothetical capital gains incentive fee based upon the cumulative net realized capital gains and realized capital losses and the cumulative net unrealized capital appreciation and unrealized capital depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. Actual amounts paid to the Investment Adviser are consistent with the Investment Management Agreement and are based only on realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital

losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year as if the entire portfolio was sold at fair value.

Expense Limitation

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investment Adviser has agreed to reduce and/or waive its management fee (the “Specified"Specified Expenses Cap”Cap") each year such that the Company will not be required to pay Specified Expenses (as defined below) in excess of a maximum aggregate amount in any calendar year (prorated for partial years and portions of years for which each applicable prong of the cap applies) equal to: (1) during the Closing Period, 0.40% of the greater of (A) $750,000 and (B) actual aggregate Capital Commitments as of the end of such calendar year, (2) at the end of the Closing Period until the end of the Investment Period, 0.40% of aggregate committed capital and (3) after the end of the Investment Period, 0.40% of Members’Members' Capital. Further, if the actual Capital Commitments of the Company at the end of the Closing Period are less than $750,000, the prong of the Specified Expenses Cap in clause (1) above will be retroactively adjusted to equal 0.40% of aggregate Capital Commitments at the end of the Closing Period, and the Investment Adviser has agreed to further reduce

and/or waive its management fee for the year in which the Closing Period ends in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the amount that would have been required to be waived/reimbursed pursuant to clause (1) above as adjusted and (B) the amount previously waived/reimbursed pursuant to clause (1) above. “Specified Expenses”"Specified Expenses" of the Company means all Company Expenses (as defined in the Third A&R LLC Agreement) incurred in the operation of the Company with the exception of: (i) the management fee, (ii) any incentive fees, (iii) Organizational and Offering Expenses (as defined in the limited liability company agreement, (the  “LLC Agreement”))Third A&R LLC Agreement) (which are subject to the Organizational and Offering ExpenseExpenses Cap), (iv) Placement Fees (as defined in the Third A&R LLC Agreement), (v) interest on and fees and expenses arising out of all Company indebtedness and other financing, (vi) costs of any litigation and damages (including the costs of any indemnity or contribution right granted to any placement agent or third-party finder engaged by the Company or its affiliates) and (vii) for the avoidance of doubt, if applicable, any investor level withholding or other taxes.

If, while the Investment Adviser is the investment adviser to the Company, the annualized Specified Expenses for a given calendar year are less than the Specified Expenses Cap, the Investment Adviser shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company of the compensation waived and other expenses borne by the Investment Adviser (the “Reimbursement Amount”"Reimbursement Amount") on behalf of the Company pursuant to the expense limitation and reimbursement agreement between the Company and the Investment Adviser (the “Expense"Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement”Agreement") during any of the previous thirty-six (36) months, and provided that such amount paid to the Investment Adviser will in no event exceed the total Reimbursement Amount and will not include any amounts previously reimbursed. The Reimbursement Amount plus the annualized Specified Expenses for a given calendar year shall not exceed the Specified Expenses Cap. The Investment Adviser may recapture a Specified Expense in any year within the thirty-six month period after the Investment Adviser bears the expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192022 and the period from May 22, 2019 (inception) to September 30, 2019,2021, there have been no reimbursements from the Investment Adviser pursuant to this provision.

The Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement of the parties, provided that any amendment that could result in an increase in expenses borne by the Company also must be approved by vote of a majority of the outstanding Units.

The following table summarizes the management fees and incentive fees incurred by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192022 and the period from May 22, 2019 (inception) to September 30, 2019.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2022 and September 30, 2021, no incentive fee on capital gains was accrued or owed under the Investment Management Agreement by the Company, as pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our members’ capital at the end of the immediately preceding quarter did not exceed the ‘‘hurdle rate’’ of return of 1.75% per quarter. As of September 30, 2019, no capital gains incentive fee was owed under the Investment Management Agreement by the Company, as cumulative net realized capital gains did not exceed cumulative unrealized capital depreciation.

Company.

The Company has entered into the Administration Agreementan administration agreement, as amended and restated, with the Administrator (the "Administration Agreement") under which the Administrator provides administrative services. The Administrator maintains, or oversees the maintenance of, the Company’sCompany's consolidated financial records, prepares reports filed with the United StatesU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”"SEC"), generally monitors the payment of the Company’sCompany's expenses and oversees the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others. The Administrator has hired a third-party sub-administrator to

assist with the provision of administrative services. The Company will reimbursereimburses the Administrator for the Company’sCompany's allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations to the Company under the Administration Agreement, including compensation of the Company’sCompany's chief financial officer and chief compliance officer, and their respective staffs. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement and further restricted by the Company, the Administrator may, in its own discretion, submit to the Company for reimbursement some or all of the expenses that the Administrator has incurred on behalf of the Company during any quarterly period. As a result, the amount of expenses for which the Company will have to reimburse the Administrator may fluctuate in future quarterly periods and there can be no assurance given as to when, or if, the Administrator may determine to limit the expenses that the Administrator submits to the Company for reimbursement in the future. The Administrator cannot recoup any expenses that the Administrator has previously waived. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192022, approximately $202 and $659 respectively, of indirect administrative expenses were included in administrative expenses, none of which were waived by the period from May 22, 2019 (inception) toAdministrator. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2021, approximately $346$227 and $346,$593, respectively, of indirect administrative expenses were included in administrative expenses, none of which were waived by the Administrator. As of September 30, 2019,2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $346$202 and $220, respectively, of indirect administrative expenses was included in payable to affiliates.

The Company, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator have also entered into a Trademark License Agreement, as amended (the "Trademark License Agreement"), with New Mountain Capital, pursuant to which New Mountain Capital has agreed to grant the Company, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the “New Mountain”"New Mountain Capital" name. Under the Trademark License Agreement, as amended, subject to certain conditions, the Company, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator will have a right to use the “New Mountain”"New Mountain Capital" name, for so long as the Investment Adviser or one of its affiliates remains the investment adviser of the Company. Other than with respect to this limited license, the Company, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator will have no legal right to the “New Mountain”"New Mountain Capital" name.

The Company has adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of its officers and directors. These officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by the 1940 Act, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.

The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole or in part, to the Company’sCompany's investment mandates. The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for the Company or for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may determine that the Company should invest side-by-side with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff and consistent with the Investment Adviser’sAdviser's allocation procedures. On December 18, 2017,October 8, 2019, the SEC issued an exemptive order (the “Exemptive Order”"Exemptive Order"), to the Investment Adviser and certain of its affiliates, which superseded a prior order issued on June 5,December 18, 2017, which permits the Company to co-invest in portfolio companies with certain

funds or entities managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates in certain negotiated transactions where co-investing would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act, subject to the conditions of the Exemptive Order. Pursuant to the Exemptive Order, the Company is permitted to co-invest with its affiliates if a “required majority”"required majority" (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Company’sCompany's independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including, but not limited to, that (1) the terms of the potential co-investment transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and its unitholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Company or its unitholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the potential co-investment transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company’sCompany's unitholders and is consistent with its then-current investment objective and strategies.

The Exemptive Order was amended on August 30, 2022 to permit the Company to co-invest in its existing portfolio companies with certain affiliates that are private funds if such private funds do not have an investment in such existing portfolio company, subject to certain conditions.

In addition, pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC on April 8, 2020 and applicable to all BDCs through December 31, 2020 (the "Temporary Relief"), the Company was permitted, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in our existing portfolio companies with certain affiliates that are private funds if such private funds did not have an investment in such existing portfolio company. Without the Temporary Relief, such private funds would not be able to participate in such co-investments with the Company unless the private funds had previously acquired securities of the portfolio company in a co-investment transaction with the Company. Although the Temporary Relief expired on December 31, 2020, the SEC’s Division of Investment Management had indicated that until March 31, 2022, it would not recommend enforcement action, to the extent that any BDC with an existing co-investment order continued to engage in certain transactions described in the Temporary Relief, pursuant to the same terms and conditions described therein. The Temporary Relief is no longer effective; however, the Company filed an application to amend its existing Exemptive Order (as defined below) on May 24, 2022, as amended on June 22, 2022. On August 30, 2022, New Mountain Finance Corporation and certain of its affiliates, including the Company, received an Order from the SEC which amended its existing Exemptive Order to permit the Company to continue to co-invest in its existing portfolio companies with certain affiliates that are private funds if such private funds do not have an investment in such existing portfolio company, subject to certain conditions.

On March 10, 2022, the Company entered into a first supplement (the "Supplement") to its Note Purchase Agreement with certain Purchasers. Pursuant to the Supplement, on March 10, 2022, the Company issued to the Purchasers $100,000 in aggregate principal amount of 3.95% Series 2022A Senior Notes due July 15, 2025 (the “2022A Unsecured Notes”).
All fees associated with the origination of the 2021A Unsecured Notes and the 2022A Unsecured Notes (together, the "Unsecured Notes") are capitalized on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Members' Capital and charged against income as other financing expenses over the life of the Unsecured Notes.
The 2021A Tranche A Notes and the 2021A Tranche B Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 3.57% and 3.62%, respectively, payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, which commenced on January 15, 2022. The 2022A Unsecured Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 3.95%, payable semi-annual on January 15 and July 15 of each year, which will commence on July 15, 2022. These interest rates are subject to increase in the event that: (i) subject to certain exceptions, the Unsecured Notes or the Company cease to have an investment grade rating or (ii) the Asset Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) is less than 1.83 to 1.00.
The Company is obligated to offer to prepay the Unsecured Notes (i) each time the Company receives an aggregate amount of net proceeds from the repayment, or sale, of loans or investments that constitute Company Level Assets (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) and (ii) each time the Company receives an aggregate amount of net proceeds, or if the Company is permitted to receive an aggregate amount of net proceeds, from the distribution of Wells Residual Equity (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), in each case that is at least equal to the lesser of (A) $25,000 and (B) 10% of the aggregate principal of Unsecured Notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Supplement.
The Note Purchase Agreement also contains customary terms and conditions for unsecured notes issued in a private placement, including, without limitation, affirmative and negative covenants such as information reporting, maintenance of the Company’s status as a business development company under the 1940 Act and a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code, minimum stockholders’ equity, and prohibitions on certain fundamental changes at the Company or any subsidiary guarantor, as well as customary events of default with customary cure and notice, including, without limitation, nonpayment, misrepresentation in a material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default under other indebtedness of the Company or certain subsidiaries, certain judgments and orders, and certain events of bankruptcy. The Note Purchase Agreement includes certain additional covenants and terms, including, without limitation, a requirement that the Company will not permit the Asset Coverage Ratio to be less than the greater of (x) 1.50 to 1.00 and (y) the minimum asset coverage required to be held by the Company to comply with the 1940 Act.
The Unsecured Notes are unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness, if any, that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Unsecured Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company's existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; and effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company's secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that the Company later

Leverage risk factors—The Company utilizes and may utilize leverage to the maximum extent permitted by the law for investment and other general business purposes. The Company’sCompany's lenders will have fixed dollar claims on certain assets that are superior to the claims of the Company’sCompany's common unitholders, and the Company would expect such lenders to seek recovery against these assets in the event of a default. The use of leverage also magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested. Leverage may magnify interest rate risk (particularly on the Company’sCompany's fixed-rate investments), which is the risk that the prices of portfolio investments will fall or rise if market interest rates for those types of securities rise or fall. As a result, leverage may cause greater changes in the Company’s members’Company's members' capital. Similarly, leverage may cause a sharper decline in the Company’sCompany's income than if the Company had not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect the Company’sCompany's ability to make distributions to its unitholders. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique. The Company’sCompany's ability to service any debt incurred will depend largely on financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures.

Note 7. Regulation

The Company intends to electhas elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, with the filing of its first tax return for the year ending December 31, 2019, and thereafter intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify and maintain its status as a RIC annually. In order to continue to qualify and be subject to tax treatment as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to timely distribute to its unitholders at least 90.0% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company, among other things, intends to make and will continue to take the requisite timely distributions to its unitholders, and as such, the Company will generally be relieved from U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes (excluding excise taxes which may be imposed under the Code).

Additionally, as a BDC, the Company must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified"qualifying assets" as defined in Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70.0% of its total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). In addition, the Company must offer to make available to all eligible"eligible portfolio companiescompanies" (as defined in the 1940 Act) significant managerial assistance.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

COVID-19 Developments
The Company's operating results and portfolio companies may be negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has been closely monitoring, and will continue to monitor, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including new variants of COVID-19, on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact the Company's portfolio companies, employees, due diligence, and the financial markets. Any effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and for some period thereafter.
The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial performance of our current and future investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the virus, related advisories and restrictions, and the health of the financial markets and economy, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. To the extent the Company's portfolio companies are adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company's future net investment income, the fair value of the Company's portfolio investments and financial condition.
While general economic conditions have improved since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company continues to see reductions in business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability both in the United States and globally. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy and most other major global economies may continue to experience downturns, and the Company anticipate its business and operations could be materially adversely affected by a prolonged recession in the United States and other major markets.

Mr. Kline joined New Mountain in 2008 and has been a senior executive within New Mountain Capital's credit effort since its inception that year. Also on November 7, 2022, our board of directors received and accepted the resignation of Robert A. Hamwee as Chief Executive Officer, to become effective January 1, 2023. Mr. Hamwee will continue to serve as a senior member of the Investment Committee of our affiliatesInvestment Adviser and as a Managing Director of New Mountain Capital.

Critical Accounting Policies

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.

estimates.

Basis of Accounting

We consolidate our wholly-owned direct subsidiarysubsidiaries GIII SPV.SPV and GIII OEC. We are an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance as described in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies, (“("ASC 946”946").

Valuation and Leveling of Portfolio Investments

For the period from May 22, 2019 (inception) to September 30, 2019,

At all times, consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act, we conduct a valuation of our assets, which impacts our members’members' capital.

We value our assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. In all cases, our board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of our portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including investments that are not publicly traded, those whose market prices are not readily available and any other situation where our portfolio investments require a fair value determination. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Our quarterly valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:

(1)Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing price indicated from independent pricing services.

(2)Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP.

a.    Bond quotes are obtained through independent pricing services. Internal reviews are performed by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and, if so, the quote is used. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment’sinvestment's par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below); and

b.    For investments other than bonds, we look at the number of quotes readily available and perform the following procedures:

i.    Investments for which two or more quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained;

obtained. We will evaluate the reasonableness of the quote, and if the quote is determined to not be representative of fair value, we will use one or more of the methodologies outlined below to determine fair value; and

ii.    Investments for which one quote is received from a pricing service are validated internally. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate the fair value. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote internally and if the investment’sinvestment's par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below).

(3)Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process:

64

Table of Contents
a.    Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for the credit monitoring;

b.    Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with our senior management;

c.    If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment’sinvestment's par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which we do not have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by our board of directors; and

d.    When deemed appropriate by our management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to review and value investment(s) of a portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being

performed by the Investment Adviser. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.

For investments in revolving credit facilities and delayed draw commitments, the cost basis of the funded investments purchased is offset by any costs/netbacks received for any unfunded portion on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for the price appreciation or depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of a commitment not completely funded may result in a negative fair value until it is called and funded.

The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are liquidated. 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 and the fluctuations could be material.

GAAP fair value measurement guidance classifies the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:

Level I—Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical investments and we have the ability to access such quotes as of the reporting date. The type of investments which would generally be included in Level I include active exchange-traded equity securities and exchange-traded derivatives. As required by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ ("ASC 820”820"), we, to the extent that we hold such investments, do not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Level II—Pricing inputs are observable for the investments, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date, but are not the same as those used in Level I. Level II inputs include the following:

·Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

·Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);

·Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-counter derivatives, including foreign exchange forward contracts); and

·Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels. In all instances when the inputs fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. As such, a Level III fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable and unobservable. Gains and losses for such assets categorized within the Level III table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs and unobservable inputs.

The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation by management and consideration of factors specific to each investment. A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in the transfer of certain investments within the fair value hierarchy from period to period.

The following table summarizes the levels

See Item 1.—Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value in thethis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on fair value hierarchy that our portfolio investments fall into as of September 30, 2019:

We generally use the following framework when determining the fair value of investments where there areis little, if any, market activity or observable pricing inputs. We typically determine the fair value of our performing debt investments utilizing
65

Table of Contents
an income approach. Additional consideration is given using a market based approach, as well as reviewing the overall underlying portfolio company’scompany's performance and associated financial risks. The following outlines additional details on the approaches considered:

Company Performance, Financial Review, and Analysis:Prior to investment, as part of our due diligence process, we evaluate the overall performance and financial stability of the portfolio company. Post investment, we analyze each portfolio company’scompany's current operating performance and relevant financial trends versus prior year and budgeted results, including, but not limited to, factors affecting our revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization EBITDA growth, margin trends, liquidity position, covenant compliance and changes to our capital structure. We also attempt to identify and subsequently track any developments at the portfolio company, within its customer or vendor base or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment, generally, that may alter any material element of our original investment thesis. This analysis is specific to each portfolio company. We leverage the knowledge gained from our original due diligence process, augmented by this subsequent monitoring, to continually refine our outlook for each of our portfolio companies and ultimately form the valuation of our investment in each portfolio company. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale occurs, we will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private valuation.

For debt investments, we may employ the Market Based Approach (as described below) to assess the total enterprise value of the portfolio company, in order to evaluate the enterprise value coverage of our debt investment. For equity investments or in cases where the Market Based Approach implies a lack of enterprise value coverage for the debt investment, we may additionally employ a discounted cash flow analysis based on the free cash flows of the portfolio company to assess the total enterprise value. After enterprise value coverage is demonstrated for our debt investments through the method(s) above, the Income Based Approach (as described below) may be employed to estimate the fair value of the investment.

Market Based Approach:We may estimate the total enterprise value of each portfolio company by utilizing market value cash flow (EBITDA)EBITDA or revenue multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and comparable transactions. We consider numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose trading multiples are used to value our portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, and relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. We may apply an average of various relevant comparable company EBITDA or revenue multiples to the portfolio company’scompany's latest twelve month (“LTM”("LTM") EBITDA or revenue or projected EBITDA or revenue to calculate the enterprise value of the portfolio company. Significant increases or decreases in the EBITDA multipleor revenue multiples will result in an increase or decrease in enterprise value, which may result in an increase or decrease in the fair value estimate of the investment. In applying the market based approach as of September 30, 2019, we used the relevant EBITDA multiple ranges set forth in the table below to determine the enterprise value of our portfolio companies. We believe these were reasonable ranges in light of current comparable company trading levels and the specific portfolio companies involved.

Income Based Approach: We also may use a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of the investment. Projected cash flows represent the relevant security’ssecurity's contractual interest, fee and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the investment’sinvestment's expected maturity date. These cash flows are discounted at a rate established utilizing a combination of a yield calibration approach whichand a comparable investment approach. The yield calibration approach incorporates changes in the credit quality (as measured by relevant statistics) of the portfolio company, as compared to changes in the yield associated with comparable credit quality market indices, between the date of origination and the valuation date. The comparable investment approach utilizes and average yield-to-maturity of a selected set of high-quality, liquid investments to determine a comparable investment discount rate. Significant increases or decreases in the discount rate would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value measurement. In applying the income based approach as of September 30, 2019, we used the discount ranges set forth
See Item 1.—Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value in the table below to value investments in our portfolio companies.

Revenue recognition

Recognition

Sales and paydowns of investments: Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification method.

Interest and dividend income:Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount using the effective interest method, is recorded on the accrual basis and periodically assessed for collectability. Interest income also includes interest earned from cash on hand. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties are recorded as part of interest income. We have loans and certain preferred equity investments in the portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”("PIK") interest or dividend provision. PIK interest isand dividends are accrued and recorded as income at the contractual rates, if deemed collectible. The PIK interest isand dividends are added to the principal balance on the capitalization date and isare generally due at maturity or when redeemed by the issuer. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the period from May 22, 2019 (inception) to September 30, 2019, the Company2022, we recognized PIK interest from investments of $0.1 million.

approximately $2.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively, and PIK dividends from investments of approximately $2.2 million and $5.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized PIK interest from investments of approximately $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and PIK dividends from investments of approximately $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

66

Table of Contents
Dividend income on preferred securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are deemed collectible.
Non-accrual income:Investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due for 30 days or more and when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest or dividends are reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends are not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest or dividend payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’smanagement's judgment of the ultimate collectibility. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’smanagement's judgment, are likely to remain current.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no investments were on non-accrual status.

OtherFee income:  OtherFee income represents delayed compensation, consent or amendment fees, revolver fees, structuring fees, upfront fees and other miscellaneous fees received and are typically non-recurring in nature. Delayed compensation is income earned from counterparties on trades that do not settle within a set number of business days after trade date. OtherFee income may also include fees from bridge loans. We may from time to time enter into bridge financing commitments, an obligation to provide interim financing to a counterparty until permanent credit can be obtained. These commitments are short-term in nature and may expire unfunded. A fee is received by us for providing such commitments. Structuring fees and upfront fees are recognized as income when earned, usually when paid at the closing of the investment, and are non-refundable.

Income received in exchange for the provision of services such as recurring administration services are also recognized as fee income in the period in which it was earned.

Monitoring of Portfolio Investments

We monitor the performance and financial trends of our portfolio companies on at least a quarterly basis. We attempt to identify any developments within the portfolio company, the industry or the macroeconomic environment that may alter any material element of our original investment strategy.

We have recently consolidated our portfolio monitoring procedures by combining our previously bifurcated system that separately (1) rated investments based on their performance compared to expectations and (2) assigned a risk rating to each investment based on the expected impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. As described more fully below, our new portfolio monitoring procedures are designed to provide a simple yet comprehensive analysis of our portfolio companies based on their operating performance and underlying business characteristics, which in turn forms the basis of its Risk Rating (as defined below).

We use an investment risk rating system to characterize and monitor the credit profile and expected level of returns on each investment in the portfolio. We useAs such, we assign each investment a four-level numeric rating scale as follows:

composite score ("Risk Rating") based on two metrics – 1) Operating Performance and 2) Business Characteristics:

·                  Investment Rating 1—InvestmentOperating Performance assesses the health of the investment in context of its financial performance and the market environment it faces. The metric is performing materially above expectations;

expressed in Tiers of "1" to "4", with "1" being the worst and "4" being the best:

·                  Investment Rating 2—InvestmentTier 1 – Severe business underperformance and/or severe market headwinds
Tier 2 – Significant business underperformance and/or significant market headwinds
Tier 3 – Moderate business underperformance and/or moderate market headwinds
Tier 4 – Business performance is performing materially in-line with expectations. All new loans are rated 2 at initial purchase;

or above expectations

·                  InvestmentBusiness Characteristics assesses the health of the investment in context of the underlying portfolio company's business and credit quality, the underlying portfolio company's current balance sheet, and the level of support from the equity sponsor. The metric is expressed as on a qualitative scale of "A" to "C", with "A" being the best and "C" being the worst.
67

Table of Contents
The Risk Rating 3—Investmentfor each investment is a composite of these two metrics. The Risk Rating is expressed in categories of Red, Orange, Yellow and Green with Red reflecting an investment performing materially below expectations whereand Green reflecting an investment that is in-line with or above expectations. The mapping of the risk of loss has materially increased since the original investment;composite scores to these categories are below:
Red – 1C (e.g., Tier 1 for Operating Performance and

C for Business Characteristics)

·                  Investment Rating 4—Investment is performing substantially below expectationsOrange – 2C and risks have increased substantially since the original investment. Payments may be delinquent. There is meaningful possibility that we will not recoup our original cost basis in the investment1B

Our total investment income increased by approximately $28.6 million, or 149%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, total investment income of approximately $47.7 million consisted of approximately $41.0 million in cash interest from investments, approximately $2.1 million in PIK and non-cash interest from investments, net amortization of purchase premiums and discounts of approximately $1.1 million, approximately $2.2 million in PIK dividends from investments and approximately $1.3 million in fee income. The increase in interest income of approximately $30.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to interest income earned which is attributable to higher effective interest rates on larger invested balances, driven by proceeds from drawdowns on Capital Commitments, higher drawn balances on our revolving credit facility and the period from May 22, 2019 (inception) to September 30, 2019

As movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of realizations, we look at net realized and unrealized gains or losses together. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily driven by the overall increasedecrease in market prices of our investments during the period, as well as realized losses on 3 positions. The benefit for income taxes was attributable to an equity investment that is held as of September 30, 2022 in one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by accelerated amortization recognized due to the early repayment of 9 of our investments, unrealized depreciation recognized on KAMC Holdings, Inc. and the overall decrease in market prices of our investments during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary use of existing funds and any funds raised in the future is expected to be for repayment of indebtedness, investments in portfolio companies, cash distributions to our unitholders or for other general corporate purposes.

On July 15, 2019, we entered into Subscription Agreements with several investors providing for the private placement of the our Units. On July 19, 2019, we delivered a drawdown notice to our investors relating to the issuance of 4,933,964 Units for an aggregate purchase price of $49.3 million. The Units were issued to investors on August 2, 2019.

The Units were issued to investors on September 5, 2019.

We expect to generate cash from (1) drawing down capital in respect of Units, (2) cash flows from investments and operations and (3)(2) borrowings from banks or other lenders. We will seek to enter into any bank debt, credit facility or other financing arrangements on at least customary market terms;terms, however, we cannot assure you we will be able to do so. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. As permitted by the Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCA”) uponUpon organization, the Investment Adviser, as the initial Unitholder,unitholder, has authorized us to adopt the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, as amended by the SBCA, which resulted in the reduction from 200.0% to 150.0% of the minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to us. In connection with their subscriptions of the Units, our unitholders were required to acknowledge our ability to operate with an asset coverage ratio that may be as low as 150.0%. In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, calculated pursuant to the 1940 Act, is at least 150.0% after such borrowing (which means we can borrow $2 for every $1 of our equity).As of September 30, 2019,2022, our asset coverage ratio was 163.0%216.5%.

We have entered into the investment advisory and management agreement (the “Investment"Investment Management Agreement”Agreement") with the Investment Adviser in accordance with the 1940 Act. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser has agreed to provide us with investment advisory and management services. We have agreed to pay for these services (1) a management fee and (2) an incentive fee based on our performance.

We have also entered into an administration agreement as amended and restated (the “Administration Agreement”"Administration Agreement") with the Administrator. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator has agreed to arrange office space for us and provide office equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services and other administrative services necessary to conduct our respective day-to-day operations. The Administrator has also agreed to maintain, or oversee the maintenance of, our financial records, our reports to unitholders and reports filed with the SEC.

The Administrator has hired a third-party sub-administrator to assist with the provision of administrative services.

If any of the contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs under any new agreements that are entered into may increase. In addition, we would likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide the services we expect to receive under the Investment Management Agreement and the Administration Agreement.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total distributions declared or paid to unitholders forwere $44.3 million and $16.7 million, respectively, of which the period from May 22, 2019 (inception) to September 30, 2019.

distributions were comprised of approximately 98.47% and 100.00%, respectively, of ordinary income, 1.53% and 0.00%, respectively, of long-term capital gains and 0.00% and 0.00%, respectively of a return of capital. Future quarterly distributions, if any, will be determined by our board of directors.

We intend to pay quarterly distributions to our unitholders in amounts sufficient to qualify as and maintain our status as a RIC. We intend to distribute approximately all of our net investment income on a quarterly basis and substantially all of our taxable income on an annual basis, except that we may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.

Related Parties

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:

·We have entered into the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Adviser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital. Therefore, New Mountain Capital is entitled to any profits earned by the Investment Adviser, which includes any fees payable to the Investment Adviser under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, less expenses incurred by the Investment Adviser in performing its services under the Investment Management Agreement.

·We have entered into the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has agreed to reduce and/or waive its management fee (the "Specified Expenses Cap") each year such that we will not be required to pay certain expenses in excess of a maximum aggregate amount defined in the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement.
We have entered into the Administration Agreement with the Administrator, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital. The Administrator arranges our office space and provides office equipment and administrative services necessary to conduct our respective day-to-day operations pursuant to the Administration Agreement. The Administrator has hired a third-party sub-administrator to assist with the provision of administrative services. We reimburse the Administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations to us under the Administration Agreement, which includes the fees and expenses associated with performing administrative, finance, and compliance functions, and the compensation of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement and further restricted by us, the Administrator may, in its own discretion, submit to us for reimbursement some or all of the expenses that the Administrator has incurred on our behalf during any quarterly period. As a result, the amount of expenses for which we will have to reimburse the Administrator may fluctuate in future quarterly periods and there can be no assurance given as to when, or if, the Administrator may determine to limit the expenses that the Administrator submits to us for reimbursement in the future. The Administrator cannot recoup any expenses that the Administrator has previously waived. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the period from May 22, 2019 (inception) to September 30, 2019,2022, approximately $0.3$0.2 million and $0.3$0.7 million, respectively, of indirect administrative expenses were included in administrative expenses, none of which were waived by the Administrator. As of September 30, 2019, $0.32022, $0.2 million of indirect administrative expenses were included in payable to affiliates on the Consolidated StatementStatements of Assets, Liabilities and Liabilities.

Members' Capital.

·We, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator have entered into a royalty-free Trademark License Agreement with New Mountain Capital, pursuant to which New Mountain Capital has agreed to grant us, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “New Mountain”"New Mountain Capital".

In addition, we have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of our officers and directors. These officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by the 1940 Act and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.

The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole or in part, to our investment mandates. The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, and consistent with the Investment Adviser’sAdviser's allocation procedures. On December 18, 2017,October 8, 2019, the SEC issued an exemptive order (the “Exemptive Order”"Exemptive Order"), to the Investment Adviser and

certain of its affiliates, which superseded a prior order issued on June 5,December 18, 2017, which permits us to co-invest in portfolio companies with certain funds or entities managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates in certain negotiated transactions where co-investing would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act, subject to the conditions of the Exemptive Order. Pursuant to the Exemptive Order, we are permitted to co-invest with our affiliates if a “required majority”"required majority" (as defined in Section 57(o)57 (o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including, but not limited to, that (1) the terms of the potential co-investment transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our unitholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of us or our unitholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the potential

co-investment transaction is consistent with the interests of our unitholders and is consistent with our then-current investment objective and strategies.

The Exemptive Order was amended on August 30, 2022 to permit us to co-invest in existing portfolio companies with certain affiliates that are private funds if such private funds do not have an investment in such existing portfolio company, subject to certain conditions.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Risk]

We are subject to certain financial market risks, such as interest rate fluctuations. In addition, U.S. and global capital markets and credit markets have experienced a higher level of stress due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in an increase in the level of volatility across such markets and a general decline in value of the securities that we hold. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks had reduced certain interest rates and LIBOR has decreased. In addition, in a prolonged low interest rate environment, including a reduction of LIBOR to zero, the difference between the total interest income earned on interest earning assets and the total interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities may be compressed, reducing our net interest income and potentially adversely affecting our operating results. However, in March 2022, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 0.25%, the first increase since December 2018. Since then, the Federal Reserve has raised rates by an additional 3.5%, most recently by 0.75% in November 2022, and indicated that it would consider future rate hikes if inflation does not slow. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, certain of the loans held in our portfolio had floating LIBOR or SOFR interest rates. As of September 30, 2019, 100.0%2022, approximately 95.6% of investments at fair value (excluding unfunded debt investments and non-interest bearing equity investments) represent floating-rate investments with a LIBOR or SOFR floor (includes investments bearing prime interest rate contracts) and noneapproximately 4.4% of our investments at fair value represent fixed-rate investments. Additionally, our senior secured revolving credit facilities arefacility is also subject to floating interest rates and areis currently paid based on floating LIBORSOFR rates and prime interest rates.

The following table estimates the potential changes in net cash flow generated from interest income and expenses, should interest rates increase by 100, 200 or 300 basis points, or decrease by 25 basis points. Interest income is calculated as revenue from interest generated from our portfolio of investments held on September 30, 2019.2022. Interest expense is calculated based on the terms of our outstanding revolving credit facilities.facilities and unsecured notes. For our floating rate credit facilities, we use the outstanding balance as of September 30, 2019.2022. Interest expense on our floating rate credit facilities is calculated using the interest rate as of September 30, 2019,2022, adjusted for the hypothetical changes in rates, as shown below. The base interest rate case assumes the rates on our portfolio investments remain unchanged from the actual effective interest rates as of September 30, 2019.2022. These hypothetical calculations are based on a model of the investments in our portfolio, held as of September 30, 2019,2022, and are only adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates.

Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the table.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 20192022 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act)Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic United States Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’sSEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

(b)Changes in Internal ControlsControl Over Financial Reporting

Management has not identified any change

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 20192022 that hashave materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

The terms “we”"we", “us”"us", “our”"our" and the “Company”"Company" refers to New Mountain Guardian III BDC, L.L.C. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

We, and our consolidated subsidiaries, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator are not currently subject to any material pending legal proceedings threatened against us as of September 30, 2019.2022. From time to time, we or our consolidated subsidiary may be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our registration statementAnnual Report on Form 10,10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results, including the Risk Factor titled “Fund-Level Borrowings”"Fund-Level Borrowings". The risks described in our registration statementAnnual Report on Form 1010-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Other than as set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes during the period from May 22, 2019 (inception) tothree months ended September 30, 2019 2022to the risk factors discussed inItem 1A. Risk Factors in our registration statementAnnual Report on Form 10.10-K.    

Uncertainty relating to the LIBOR calculation process may adversely affect the value of our portfolio of LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities.

Concerns have been publicized that some of the member banks surveyed by the British Bankers’ Association, or the ‘‘BBA,’’ in connection with the calculation of LIBOR across a range of maturities and currencies may have been under-reporting or otherwise manipulating the inter-bank lending rate applicable to them in order to profit on their derivatives positions or to avoid an appearance of capital insufficiency or adverse reputational or other consequences that may have resulted from reporting inter-bank lending rates higher than those they actually submitted. A number of BBA member banks have entered into settlements with their regulators and law enforcement agencies with respect to alleged manipulation of LIBOR, and investigations by regulators and governmental authorities in various jurisdictions are ongoing.

On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear if at that time whether or not LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large US financial institutions, is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities called the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The first publication of SOFR was released in April 2018. Whether or not SOFR attains market traction as a LIBOR replacement remains a question and the future of LIBOR at this time is uncertain. If LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate the credit agreements extending beyond 2021 with our portfolio companies that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate to replace LIBOR with the new standard that is established, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, if LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate any LIBOR based revolving credit facilities to replace LIBOR with the new standard that is established in its place. If we are unable to do so, amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility may bear interest at a higher rate, which would increase the cost of our borrowings and, in turn, affect our results of operations.
