MONROE CAPITAL INCOME PLUS CORPORATION

CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS – (continued)

(unaudited)

September 30, 2022

(in thousands, except for shares and units)

(^) All of the Company’s investments are issued by eligible portfolio companies, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”), unless otherwise noted. All of the Company’s investments are issued by U.S. portfolio companies unless otherwise noted.
(^^) The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR" or "L"), Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "SF"), Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA" or "SN"), Canadian dollar Offered rate ("CDOR" or "C") or Prime Rate ("Prime" or "P") which reset daily, monthly, quarterly, or semiannually. For each such investment, the Company has provided the spread over LIBOR, SOFR, SONIA, CDOR, or Prime, as applicable, and the current contractual interest rate in effect at September 30, 2022. Certain investments may be subject to an interest rate floor or rate cap. Certain investments contain a payment-in-kind ("PIK") provision.
(^^^) Except as otherwise noted, all of the Company’s portfolio company investments, which as of September 30, 2022 represented 163.6% of the Company’s net assets or 93.4% of the Company’s total assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales.
(^^^^) Except as otherwise noted, because there is no readily available market value for these investments, the fair value of each of these investments is determined in good faith using significant unobservable inputs by the Valuation Designee. (See Note 4 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.)
(^^^^^) Percentages are based on net assets of $659,321 as of September 30, 2022.
(~) All or a portion of this security was held in MC Income Plus Financing SPV LLC (the “SPV”) as collateral for the Company’s secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with KeyBank National Association. (See Note 7 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements).
(~~) All or a portion of this security was held in Monroe Capital Income Plus ABS Funding, LLC (the “2022 Issuer”) as collateral for the Company’s $425,000 asset-backed securitization (the “2022 ABS”). (See Note 7 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements).
(<) This investment is treated as a non-qualifying investment under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of September 30, 2022, non-qualifying assets totaled 14.9% of the Company’s total assets.
(<<) The Company structures its unitranche secured loans as senior secured loans. The Company obtains security interests in the assets of these portfolio companies that serve as collateral in support of the repayment of these loans. This collateral may take the form of first-priority liens on the assets of a portfolio company. Generally, the Company syndicates a “first out” portion of the loan to an investor and retains a “last out” portion of the loan, in which case the “first out” portion of the loan will generally receive priority with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. Unitranche structures combine characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured as well as second lien and subordinated loans and the Company’s unitranche secured loans will expose the Company to the risks associated with second lien and subordinated loans and may limit the Company’s recourse or ability to recover collateral upon a portfolio company’s bankruptcy. Unitranche secured loans typically provide for moderate loan amortization in the initial years of the facility, with the majority of the amortization deferred until loan maturity. Unitranche secured loans generally allow the borrower to make a large lump sum payment of principal at the end of the loan term, and there is a risk of loss if the borrower is unable to pay the lump sum or refinance the amount owed at maturity. In many cases the Company, together with its affiliates, is the sole or majority lender of these unitranche secured loans, which can afford the Company additional influence with a borrower in terms of monitoring and, if necessary, remediation in the event of underperformance.
(#) Represents less than 5% ownership of the portfolio company’s voting securities.
(##) Ownership of certain equity investments may occur through a holding company or partnership.
(###) Represents a non-income producing security.
(####) Investment is held by a taxable subsidiary of the Company. See Note 2 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries.
(#####) As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be an “Affiliated Person” of the portfolio company as it owns 5% or more of the portfolio company’s voting securities. See Note 5 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on transactions in which the issuer was an Affiliated Person (but not a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to control).
(*) All or a portion of this commitment was unfunded at September 30, 2022. As such, interest is earned only on the funded portion of this commitment.
(**) This delayed draw loan requires that certain financial covenants be met by the portfolio company prior to any fundings by the Company.
(a) This is an international company.
(b) This loan is denominated in Australian dollars and is translated into U.S. dollars as of the valuation date.
(c) This loan is denominated in Canadian dollars and is translated into U.S. dollars as of the valuation date.
(d) As of September 30, 2022, the Company was party to a subscription agreement with a commitment to fund an additional equity investment of $8.
(e) The fair value of this investment was valued using Level 1 inputs. See Note 4 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.
(f) As of September 30, 2022, the Company was party to a subscription agreement with a commitment to fund an additional equity investment of $34.
(g) As of September 30, 2022, the Company was party to a subscription agreement with a commitment to fund an additional equity investment of $1,140.
(h) As of September 30, 2022, the Company was party to a subscription agreement with a commitment to fund an additional equity investment of $1,771.
(i) Investment position or portion thereof unsettled as of September 30, 2022.

MONROE CAPITAL INCOME PLUS CORPORATION

CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS – (continued)

December 31, 2021

(in thousands, except for shares and units)

(a) All of the Company’s investments are issued by eligible portfolio companies, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”), unless otherwise noted. All of the Company’s investments are issued by U.S. portfolio companies unless otherwise noted.
(b) The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”), Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “SF”), Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA” or “SN”), Canadian dollar Offered rate (“CDOR” or “C”), or Prime (“P”), which reset daily, monthly, quarterly, or semiannually. For each such investment, the Company has provided the spread over LIBOR, SOFR, SONIA, CDOR, or Prime, as applicable, and the current contractual interest rate in effect at December 31, 2021. Certain investments are subject to an interest rate floor, or rate cap. Certain investments contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision.
(c) Except as otherwise noted, all of the Company’s portfolio company investments, which as of December 31, 2021 represented 190.8% of the Company’s net assets or 97.3% of the Company’s total assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales.
(d) Except as otherwise noted, because there is no readily available market value for these investments, the fair value of each of these investments is determined in good faith using significant unobservable inputs by the Company’s board of directors as required by the 1940 Act. See Note 4 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.
(e) Percentages are based on net assets of $369,448 as of December 31, 2021.
(f) This security was held in MC Income Plus Financing SPV LLC (the “SPV”) as collateral for the Company’s secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with KeyBank National Association. (See Note 7 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements).
(g) All or a portion of this commitment was unfunded at December 31, 2021. As such, interest is earned only on the funded portion of this commitment.
(h) This delayed draw loan requires that certain financial covenants be met by the portfolio company prior to any fundings by the Company.
(i) This investment is treated as a non-qualifying investment under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of December 31, 2021, non-qualifying assets totaled 11.2% of the Company’s total assets.
(j) This is an international company.
(k) This loan is denominated in Australian dollars and is translated into U.S. dollars as of the valuation date.
(l) This loan is denominated in Canadian dollars and is translated into U.S. dollars as of the valuation date.
(m) The Company structures its unitranche secured loans as senior secured loans. The Company obtains security interests in the assets of these portfolio companies that serve as collateral in support of the repayment of these loans. This collateral may take the form of first-priority liens on the assets of a portfolio company. Generally, the Company syndicates a “first out” portion of the loan to an investor and retains a “last out” portion of the loan, in which case the “first out” portion of the loan will generally receive priority with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. Unitranche structures combine characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured as well as second lien and subordinated loans and the Company’s unitranche secured loans will expose the Company to the risks associated with second lien and subordinated loans and may limit the Company’s recourse or ability to recover collateral upon a portfolio company’s bankruptcy. Unitranche secured loans typically provide for moderate loan amortization in the initial years of the facility, with the majority of the amortization deferred until loan maturity. Unitranche secured loans generally allow the borrower to make a large lump sum payment of principal at the end of the loan term, and there is a risk of loss if the borrower is unable to pay the lump sum or refinance the amount owed at maturity. In many cases the Company, together with its affiliates, is the sole or majority lender of these unitranche secured loans, which can afford the Company additional influence with a borrower in terms of monitoring and, if necessary, remediation in the event of underperformance.
(n) Represents less than 5% ownership of the portfolio company’s voting securities.
(o) Ownership of certain equity investments may occur through a holding company or partnership.
(p) Represents a non-income producing security.
(q) Investment is held by a taxable subsidiary of the Company. See Note 2 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries.
(r) As of December 31, 2021, the Company was party to a subscription agreement with a commitment to fund an additional equity investment of $8.
(s) As of December 31, 2021, the Company was party to a subscription agreement with a commitment to fund an additional equity investment of $34.
(t) As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be an “Affiliated Person” of the portfolio company as it owns 5% or more of the portfolio company’s voting securities. See Note 5 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on transactions in which the issuer was an Affiliated Person (but not a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to control).
(u) The fair value of this investment was valued using Level 1 inputs. See Note 4 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying statement of assets and liabilitiesconsolidated financial statements of the Company hashave been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X. The Company has determined it meets the definition of an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 — Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”). The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the statement of assets and liabilitiesconsolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the statementconsolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of assetsrevenue and liabilities.expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation

As permitted under ASC Topic 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a portfolio company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the MC Income Plus Financing SPV LLC (the “SPV”), Monroe Capital Income Plus ABS Funding, LLC (the “2022 Issuer”) and the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries (the “Taxable Subsidiaries”) in its consolidated financial statements. The purpose of the Taxable Subsidiaries is to permit the Company to hold equity investments in portfolio companies that are taxed as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes while complying with the “source of income” requirements contained in the RIC tax provisions of the Code. The Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated with the Company for U.S. federal corporate income tax purposes, and each Taxable Subsidiary is subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its taxable income. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

25

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies fair value to substantially all of its financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value, and requires disclosures for fair value measurements, including the categorization of financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy based on the transparency of valuation inputs. See Note 4 for further discussion regarding the fair value measurements and hierarchy.

ASC Topic 820 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate such value. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of its other financial instruments such as cash, receivables and payables approximate the fair value of such items due to the short maturity of such instruments.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are as follows:

Investments and related investment income: Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual terms of debt and preferred equity investments. Interest is accrued on a daily basis. The Company records fees on loans based on the determination of whether the fee is considered a yield enhancement or payment for a service. If the fee is considered a yield enhancement associated with a funding of cash on a loan, the fee is generally deferred and recognized into interest income using the effective interest method if captured in the cost basis or using the straight-line method if the loan is unfunded and therefore there is no cost basis. If the fee is not considered a yield enhancement because a service was provided, and the fee is payment for that service, the fee is deemed earned and recognized as fee income in the period the service is completed.

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies. Each distribution received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments is evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profits in the LLC or LP prior to the applicable distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received return of capital distributions from its equity investments of $17 and $452, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received return of capital distributions from its equity investments of zero and $551, respectively.

The Company has certain investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision, which represents contractual interest or dividends that are added to the principal balance and recorded as income. The Company stops accruing PIK interest or PIK dividends when it is determined that PIK interest or PIK dividends are no longer collectible. To maintain RIC tax treatment, and to avoid incurring corporate U.S. federal income tax, substantially all income accrued from PIK provisions must be paid out to stockholders in the form of distributions, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash.

Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premiums are capitalized, and the Company then amortizes such amounts using the effective interest method as interest income over the life of the investment. Unamortized discounts and loan origination fees totaled $19,473 and $10,292 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Upfront loan origination and closing fees received for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $9,547 and $13,794, respectively. Upfront loan origination and closing fees received for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $3,963 and $7,651, respectively. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any unamortized premium or discount or loan origination fees are recorded as interest income.

The components of the Company’s investment income were as follows:

  Three months ended September 30, 
  2022  2021 
Interest income $19,264  $7,718

Total investment income $56,407  $19,937 

(1) Includes PIK dividends of $90 and $45, respectively.

(2) Includes PIK dividends of $270 and $89, respectively.

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on portfolio investments are calculated based upon the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. Realized gains and losses are recorded within net realized gain (loss) on investments on the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of investments from the prior period, as determined through the application of the Company’s valuation policy, are included within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the consolidated statements of operations.

Non-accrual: Loans or preferred equity securities are placed on non-accrual status when principal, interest or dividend payments become materially past due, or when there is reasonable doubt that principal, interest or dividends will be collected. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal, interest, or dividends are paid, or are expected to be paid, and, in management’s judgment are likely to remain current. As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no borrowers with a loan or preferred equity securities on non-accrual status.

Distributions

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the applicable record date. The amount, if any, to be distributed to common stockholders is determined by the Board at least quarterly and is generally based upon the Company’s earnings as estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually.

The determination of the tax attributes for the Company’s distributions is made annually, based upon its taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Ordinary dividend distributions from a RIC do not qualify for the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income from domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations, except to the extent that the RIC received the income in the form of qualifying dividends from domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. The tax attributes for distributions will generally include both ordinary income and capital gains, but may also include qualified dividends or return of capital.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions on behalf of its stockholders that elect to participate in such plan. When the Company declares a dividend or distribution, the Company’s stockholders’ cash distributions will only be reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock if a stockholder specifically “opts in” to the DRIP at least ten (10) days prior to the record date fixed by the Board. Shares issued under the DRIP will be issued at a price per share equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of the last day of the Company’s fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date that the distribution was declared. See Note 9 for additional information on the Company’s distributions.

Segments

In accordance with ASC Topic 280 — Segment Reporting, the Company has determined that it has a single reporting segment and operating unit structure.

 

Cash

 

The Company deposits its cash in a financial institution and, at times, such balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.limit. The Company’s deposits are held in high-quality financial institutions and management believes that risk of loss with any uninsured balance is remote.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes amounts held within the SPV and 2022 Issuer. Cash held within the SPV and 2022 Issuer is generally restricted to use for the originations of new investments, the repayment of outstanding debt and the related payment of interest expense and the quarterly release of earnings to the Company. As of September 30, 2022, restricted cash included $31,784 held within the SPV and $26,063 held within the 2022 Issuer. As of December 31, 2021, restricted cash represented the cash held within the SPV.

Unamortized Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had unamortized deferred financing costs of $11,471 and $3,615, respectively, presented as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of debt on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. These amounts are amortized and included in interest and other debt financing expenses on the consolidated statements of operations over the estimated average life of the borrowings. Amortization of deferred financing costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $630 and $1,621, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $296 and $580, respectively.

Investments Denominated in Foreign Currency

At each balance sheet date, portfolio company investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period. Purchases and sales of foreign portfolio company investments, and any income from such investments, are translated into U.S. dollars using the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the fair values of foreign portfolio company investments and the fluctuation in such fair values are translated into U.S. dollars using the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, the Company does not isolate the portion of the change in fair value resulting from foreign currency exchange rates fluctuations from the change in fair value of the underlying investment. All fluctuations in fair value are included in net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

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

Derivative Instruments

The Company has entered and may continue to enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. In a foreign currency forward contract, the Company agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. Foreign currency forward contracts are marked-to-market based on the difference between the forward rate and the exchange rate at the current period end. Unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency forward contracts are recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of assets and liabilities by counterparty on a net basis.

The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and as such values its foreign currency forward contracts at fair value with the change in unrealized gain or loss recorded in net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency forward contracts and the realized gain or loss recorded in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency forward contracts on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company intends to file an election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Company also intends to electhas elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”)RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,and operates in a manner as amended,to qualify for the taxable year ending December 31, 2018. Sotax treatment available to RICs. As long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends.stockholders. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned by the Company represents obligationsan obligation of the Company’s investorsstockholders and will not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

To qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income” for that year, which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long-term capital losses. In order for the Company not to be subject to U.S. federal excise taxes, it must distribute annually an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for the calendar year and (iii) any net ordinary income and capital gains in excess of capital losses for preceding years that were not distributed during such years. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on this income. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net tax expense on the consolidated statements of operations of $1 for U.S. federal excise tax. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a net expense on the consolidated statements of operations of $7 and $14, respectively, for U.S. federal excise tax. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an accrual for U.S. federal excise taxes of zero and $66, respectively, which were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

The Company’s consolidated Taxable Subsidiaries may be subject to U.S. federal and state corporate-level income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net tax expense of zero and $1, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations for these subsidiaries. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not record a net tax expense on the consolidated statements of operations for these subsidiaries. As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no payables for corporate-level income taxes were accrued.

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 — Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company did not take any material uncertain income tax positions through September 30, 2022. The 2018 through 2021 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

Investments

The Company values all investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820. ASC Topic 820 requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value. As defined in ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the assets or liabilities or market and the assets’ or liabilities’ complexity.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the observability of the inputs used to determine fair values. Investments carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

·Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
·Level 2 — Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, which are either directly or indirectly observable.

·Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. This includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets or liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information available and may require significant management judgment or estimation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset’s or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

For periods prior to September 30, 2022, the Board determined the fair value of the Company’s investments. Pursuant to the new SEC Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, on September 30, 2022 the Board designated MC Advisors as the Company’s valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”). The Board is responsible for oversight of the Valuation Designee. The Valuation Designee has established a valuation committee to determine in good faith the fair value of the Company’s investments, based on input of Valuation Designee’s management and personnel and independent valuation firms which are engaged at the direction of the valuation committee to assist in the valuation of certain portfolio investments lacking a readily available market quotation. The valuation committee determines fair values pursuant to a valuation policy approved by the Board and pursuant to a consistently applied valuation process. 

31

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Valuation Designee undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below: 

·the quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially evaluated and rated by the investment professionals of the Valuation Designee responsible for the credit monitoring of the portfolio investment;  
·our Valuation Designee engages an independent valuation firm to conduct independent appraisals of a selection of investments for which market quotations are not readily available. We will consult with an independent valuation firm relative to each portfolio company at least once in every calendar year, but the independent appraisals are generally received quarterly for each investment;

·to the extent an independent valuation firm is not engaged to conduct an investment appraisal on an investment for which market quotations are not readily available, the investment will be valued by the Valuation Designee;

·preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the valuation committee of the Valuation Designee;

·the valuation conclusions are approved by the valuation committee of the Valuation Designee; and
·a report prepared by the Valuation Designee is presented to the Board quarterly to allow the Board to perform its oversight duties of the valuation process and the Valuation Designee.

The accompanying consolidated schedules of investments held by the Company consist primarily of private debt instruments (“Level 3 debt”). The Company generally uses the income approach to determine fair value for Level 3 debt where market quotations are not readily available, as long as it is appropriate. If there is deterioration in credit quality or a debt investment is in workout status, the Company may consider other factors in determining the fair value, including the value attributable to the debt investment from the enterprise value of the portfolio company or the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis. This liquidation analysis may include probability weighting of alternative outcomes. The Company generally considers its Level 3 debt to be performing if the borrower is not in default, the borrower is remitting payments in a timely manner; the loan is in covenant compliance or is otherwise not deemed to be impaired. In determining the fair value of the performing Level 3 debt, the Company considers fluctuations in current interest rates, the trends in yields of debt instruments with similar credit ratings, financial condition of the borrower, economic conditions and other relevant factors, both qualitative and quantitative. In the event that a Level 3 debt instrument is not performing, as defined above, the Company will evaluate the value of the collateral utilizing the same framework described above for a performing loan to determine the value of the Level 3 debt instrument.

Under the income approach, discounted cash flow models are utilized to determine the present value of the future cash flow streams of its debt investments, based on future interest and principal payments as set forth in the associated loan agreements. In determining fair value under the income approach, the Company also considers the following factors: applicable market yields and leverage levels, credit quality, prepayment penalties, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, and changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that generally may affect the price at which similar investments may be made.

Under the market approach, the enterprise value methodology is typically utilized to determine the fair value of an investment. There is no one methodology to estimate enterprise value and, in fact, for any one portfolio company, enterprise value is generally best expressed as a range of values, from which the Company derives a single estimate of enterprise value. In estimating the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the Company analyzes various factors consistent with industry practice, including but not limited to original transaction multiples, the portfolio company’s historical and projected financial results, applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and leverage levels, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, and comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public. Typically, the enterprise values of private companies are based on multiples of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), cash flows, net income, revenues, or in limited cases, book value.

In addition, for certain debt investments, the Company may base its valuation on indicative bid and ask prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the Company and others may be willing to pay. Ask prices represent the lowest price that the Company and others may be willing to accept. The Company generally uses the midpoint of the bid/ask range as its best estimate of fair value of such investment.

As of September 30, 2022, the Valuation Designee determined, in good faith, the fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments in accordance with GAAP and the Company’s valuation procedures based on the facts and circumstances known by the Company at that time, or reasonably expected to be known at that time.

Senior secured loans, unitranche secured loans and junior secured loans are collateralized by tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers. These investments include loans to entities that have some level of challenge in obtaining financing from other, more conventional institutions, such as a bank. Interest rates on these loans are either fixed or floating and are based on current market conditions and credit ratings of the borrower. Excluding loans on non-accrual, the contractual interest rates on the loans ranged from 7.29% to 17.06% at September 30, 2022 and 4.35% to 16.00% at December 31, 2021. The maturity dates on the loans outstanding at September 30, 2022 range between October 2022 and August 2029.

Significant Unobservable Inputs

ASC Topic 820 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Disclosure of this information is not required in circumstances where a valuation (unadjusted) is obtained from a third-party pricing service and the information regarding the unobservable inputs is not reasonably available to the Company and as such, the disclosures provided below exclude those investments valued in that manner. The tables below are not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather to provide information on significant unobservable inputs and valuation techniques used by the Company.

The significant unobservable input used in the income approach of fair value measurement of the Company’s investments is the discount rate used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. Increases (decreases) in the discount rate would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value estimate of the investment. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates are the following factors: risk of default, rating of the investment and comparable investments, and call provisions.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the market approach of fair value measurement of the Company’s investments are the market multiples of EBITDA or revenue of the comparable guideline public companies. The Company selects a population of public companies for each investment with similar operations and attributes of the portfolio company. Using these guideline public companies’ data, a range of multiples of enterprise value to EBITDA or revenue is calculated. The Company selects percentages from the range of multiples for purposes of determining the portfolio company’s estimated enterprise value based on said multiple and generally the latest twelve months EBITDA or revenue of the portfolio company (or other meaningful measure). Increases (decreases) in the multiple will result in an increase (decrease) in enterprise value, resulting in an increase (decrease) in the fair value estimate of the investment.

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

ASC Topic 820 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate such value. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of its other financial instruments such as cash, receivables and payables approximate the fair value of such items due to the short maturity of such instruments. Fair value of the Company’s Credit Facility and 2022 ABS (as defined in Note 7) is estimated by discounting remaining payments using applicable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date, if applicable. As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company believes that the carrying value of its Credit Facility approximates fair value. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company’s 2022 ABS Class A and Class B notes was $302,453.

Note 6. Transactions with Related Parties

 

The Company intends to enterhas entered into an Investment Advisory Agreementinvestment advisory agreement with MC Advisors (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), under which MC Advisors, subject to the overall supervision of the Board, will provideprovides investment advisory services to the Company. The Company will paypays MC Advisors a fee for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components – a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee and the incentive fee will ultimately beare borne by the Company’s stockholders.stockholders, unless such fees are waived by MC Advisors.

 

TheOn April 18, 2022, MC Advisors agreed to permanently waive a portion of the base management fees and incentive fees payable by the Company to MC Advisors under the Investment Advisory Agreement pursuant to a fee waiver letter. These waivers took effect beginning April 1, 2022 (the “Effective Date”).

Beginning with the Effective Date, the base management fee will be payable quarterly in arrears and will commence with the initial drawdownis calculated at an annual rate of 1.25% of average total assets (reduced from investors in the Private Offering. Prior to1.50%), which includes assets financed using leverage. Following any future quotation or listing of the Company’s securities on a national securities exchange (an “Exchange Listing”) or any future quotation or listing of its securities on any other public trading market, the base management fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of average total assets (which includes assets financed using leverage). Following an Exchange Listing, the base management fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of average invested assets (calculated as total assets excluding cash). The base management fee is payable in arrears.

Base management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $3,285 and $8,759, respectively. MC Advisors elected to voluntarily waive zero and $1,701 of such base management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Base management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $1,699 and $3,661, respectively. MC Advisors elected to voluntarily waive zero and $1,425 of such base management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. These base management fee waivers are not subject to recoupment by MC Advisors. There is no guarantee that MC Advisors will waive additional base management fees in the future.

The incentive fee will consistconsists of two parts. The first part will beis calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the preceding quarter. Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee), any expenses payable under the administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) between and the Company and Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC (“MC Management (the “Administration Agreement”Management”) and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee).fee. Pre-incentive fee net investment income will include, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind (“PIK”)PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero-coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. MC Advisors is not under any obligation to reimburse the Company for any part of the incentive fee it receivedreceives that was based on accrued interest that the Company never actually receives.

 

Pre-incentive fee net investment income willdoes not include any realized capital gains realized capitalor losses or unrealized capital gains or losses. If any distributions from portfolio companies are characterized as a return of capital, such returns of capital would affect the capital gains incentive fee to the extent a gain or loss is realized. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that the Company may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where it incurs a loss. For example, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a quarter, the Company will pay the applicable incentive fee even if it has incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and unrealized capital losses.

 

Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a fixed “hurdle rate” of 1.50% per quarter (6% annually).

 

TheAs of and beginning with the Effective Date, prior to an Exchange Listing, the Company willshall pay MC Advisors an incentive fee with respect to its pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

·no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.50% (6% annually);
·100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 1.7143% (reduced from 1.76%) in any calendar quarter prior to an Exchange Listing or 1.88% in any calendar quarter following an Exchange Listing. The Company refers to this portion of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income as the “catch-up” provision. Prior to an Exchange Listing, the catch-up is meant to provide MC Advisors with 15% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 1.76% in any calendar quarter, and following an Exchange Listing, the catch-up is meant to provide MC Advisors with 20% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 1.88% in any calendar quarter;Listing; and

 

 5

·prior to an Exchange Listing, 15%12.5% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income (a reduction from 15.0% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net income), if any, that exceeds 1.7143% (reduced from 1.76%) in any calendar quarter, and following an Exchange Listing, 20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 1.88% in any calendar quarter.

 

These calculations will beare appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current quarter.

 

The second part of the incentive fee is a capital gains incentive fee that will beis determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the investment advisory agreement,Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 15%12.5% (reduced from 15.0% effective January 1, 2022) of the Company’s realized capital gains as of the end of the fiscal year. In determining the capital gains incentive fee payable to MC Advisors, the Company will calculatecalculates the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains and cumulative aggregate realized capital losses since the Company’s inception, and the aggregate unrealized capital depreciation as of the date of the calculation, as applicable, with respect to each of the investments in the Company’s portfolio. For this purpose, cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equals the sum of the differences between the net sales price of each investment, when sold, and the amortized cost of such investment. Cumulative aggregate realized capital losses equals the sum of the amounts by which the net sales price of each investment, when sold, is less than the amortized cost of such investment since the Company’s inception. Aggregate unrealized capital depreciation equals the sum of the difference, if negative, between the valuation of each investment as of the applicable calculation date and the amortized cost of such investment. At the end of the applicable year, the amount of capital gains that will serve as the basis for the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee equals the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains less cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, less aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, with respect to the Company’s portfolio of investments. If this number is positive at the end of such year, then the capital gains incentive fee for such year equals 15%12.5% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains incentive fees paid in respect of the Company’s portfolio in all prior years.

 

While the Investment Advisory Agreement with MC Advisors neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an interpretation of an American Institute for Certified Public Accountants Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, the Company includes unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee expense and related accrued capital gains incentive fee. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to MC Advisors if the Company’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though MC Advisors is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments: As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $245,919 and $125,204, respectively, in outstanding commitments to fund investments under undrawn revolvers, delayed draw commitments and subscription agreements. Management believes that the Company’s available cash balances and/or ability to draw on the Credit Facility provide sufficient funds to cover its unfunded commitments as of September 30, 2022.

Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnification. The Company’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown, as these involve future claims that may be made against the Company but that have not occurred. The Company expects the risk of any future obligations under these indemnification provisions to be remote.

Concentration of credit and counterparty risk: Credit risk arises primarily from the potential inability of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. In the event that the counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparties or issuers of the instruments. It is the Company’s policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.

Market risk: The Company’s investments and borrowings are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the investments and borrowings are traded.

Legal proceedings: In the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to legal and regulatory proceedings that are generally incidental to its ongoing operations. While there can be no assurance of the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings, the Company is not currently aware of any such proceedings or disposition that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(1)The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the periods presented.
(2)The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions declared during the period. Management monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. To the extent the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount of the Company’s distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders. The tax character of distributions will be determined at the end of the fiscal year. However, if the character of such distributions were determined as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, none of the distributions would have been characterized as a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders; this tax return of capital may differ from the return of capital calculated with reference to net investment income for financial reporting purposes.
(3)Includes the impact of different share amounts used in calculating per share data as a result of calculating certain per share data based on weighted average shares outstanding during the period and certain per share data based on shares outstanding as of a period end or transaction date.
(4)Total return based on average net asset value is calculated by dividing the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the average net asset value. Return calculations are not annualized.
(5)Ratio is not annualized.
(6)Ratios are annualized. To the extent incentive fees are included within the ratio, they are not annualized.
(7)The following is a schedule of supplemental ratios for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. These ratios have been annualized unless otherwise noted.

Overview

 

Monroe Capital Income Plus Corporation is an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company incorporated under the Maryland General Corporation Law on May 30, 2018. We intend to electthat has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We also intend to electIn addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes we have elected to be treated and intend to qualify annually thereafter, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the subchapter M of theU.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We currently qualify and intend to continue to qualify annually to be treated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

  

As an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

 

We are a specialty finance company that is focused on providing financing solutions primarily to lower middle-market companies in the United States and Canada. We seek to provide investors with attractive risk-adjusted returns and downside protection associated with investing in asset based and secured corporate private credit opportunities in a manner that is decoupled from public markets’ volatility. We seek to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns and downside protection by investing primarily in secured private credit transactions and assets, targeting investments that have significant downside protection through a focus on asset coverage. We expect to invest primarily in: (i) senior secured and junior secured and unsecured loans, notes, bonds, preferred equity (including preferred partnership equity), convertible debt and other securities; (ii) unitranche secured loans (a combination of senior secured and junior secured debt in the same facility in which we syndicate a “first out” portion of the loan to an investor and retain a “last out” portion of the loan) and securities; (iii) asset-based loans and securities; (iv) small business loans and leases; (v) structured debt and structured equity; (vi) syndicated loans; (vii) securitized debt and subordinated notes of collateralized loan obligations facilities, asset-backed securities and other securitized products and warehouse loan facilities; (viii) opportunities to acquire illiquid investments from other third-party funds as a result of liquidity constraints resulting from investor redemptions and market dislocations; and (ix) capital investments in the secondary markets. As of September 30, 2018,2022, our portfolio included approximately 83.8% senior secured loans, 8.9% unitranche secured loans, 3.7% junior secured loans and 3.6% equity securities, compared to December 31, 2021, when our portfolio included approximately 90.5% senior secured loans, 4.3% unitranche secured loans, 2.6% junior secured loans and 2.6% equity securities. We expect that the companies in which we haveinvest may be leveraged, often as a result of leveraged buy-outs or other recapitalization transactions, and, in certain cases, will not commenced operations.be rated by national ratings agencies. If such companies were rated, we believe that they would typically receive a rating below investment grade (between BB and CCC under the Standard & Poor’s system) from the national rating agencies.

 

Revenues

Our investment objective is to maximize the total return to our stockholders in the form of current income and capital appreciation through investment in senior, unitranche and junior secured debt and, to a lesser extent, subordinated debt and equity investments. We seek to use ourMonroe Capital’s extensive leveraged finance origination infrastructure and broad expertise in sourcing loans to invest in primarily senior secured, unitranche secured and junior secured debt of middle-market companies. Our investments in senior, unitranche, junior secured debt and other investments generally will range between $2.0 million and $18.0 million each, although this investment size maywill vary proportionately with the size of our capital base.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue RecognitionInvestment income

 

We will recordgenerate interest and fee income on an accrual basis to the extentdebt investments in portfolio company investments that we expectoriginate or acquire. Our debt investments, whether in the form of senior secured, unitranche secured or junior secured debt, typically have an initial term of three to collect such amounts. For loansseven years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt securities with contractualinvestments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. In some cases, our investments provide for deferred interest of payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest,interest. In addition, we will not accrue PIK interest ifmay generate revenue in the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is not collectible. We will not accrue as a receivable interest on loansform of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and debt securities if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such interest.consulting fees. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium will beare capitalized, and then we willaccrete or amortize such amounts using the effective interest method as interest income over the life of the investment. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any unamortized premium or discount or loan origination fees will be recorded as interest income. We will record prepayment premiums and prepayment gains (losses) on loans and debt securities as interest income. As the frequency or volume of the repayments which trigger these prepayment premiums and prepayment gains (losses) may fluctuate significantly from period to period, the associated interest income whenrecorded may also fluctuate significantly from period to period. Interest and fee income is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent we receiveexpect to collect such amounts. Interest income will beis accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual terms of debt and preferred equity investments. Interest will beis accrued on a daily basis. All other income will be recorded into income when earned. We will record fees on loans based on the determination of whether the fee is considered a yield enhancement or payment for a service. If the fee is considered a yield enhancement associated with a funding of cash on a loan, the fee willis generally be deferred and recognized into interest income using the effective interest method if captured in the cost basis or using the straight-line method if the loan is unfunded and therefore there is no cost basis. If the fee is not considered a yield enhancement because a service was provided, and the fee is payment for that service, the fee is deemed earned and will be recognized as fee income in the period earned.the service is completed.

 

Dividend income on preferred equity securities will beis recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities will beis recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies. Each distribution received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments is evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, we will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profits in the LLC or LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital will beare recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment. The frequency and volume of the distributions on common equity securities and LLC and LP investments may fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of base management and incentive fees to MC Advisors under the investment advisory agreement entered into on December 5, 2018 (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the payment of fees to MC Management for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses under the administration agreement entered into on December 5, 2018 (the “Administration Agreement”), and other operating costs. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements and “Related Party Transactions” below for additional information on our Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement. Our expenses also include interest expense on indebtedness. We bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions.

Net gain (loss)

We recognize realized gains or losses on investments, foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency and other transactions based on the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the cost basis without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized within net realized gain (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations. We record current period changes in fair value of investments, foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency and other transactions within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations.

Portfolio Asset Quality

MC Advisors’ portfolio management staff closely monitors all credits, with senior portfolio managers covering agented and more complex investments. MC Advisors segregates our capital markets investments by industry. The MC Advisors’ monitoring process and projections developed by Monroe Capital both have daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly components and related reports, each to evaluate performance against historical, budget and underwriting expectations. MC Advisors’ analysts will monitor performance using standard industry software tools to provide consistent disclosure of performance. When necessary, MC Advisors will update our internal risk ratings, borrowing base criteria and covenant compliance reports.

As part of the monitoring process, MC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and rates each of them based on an internal proprietary system that uses the categories listed below, which we refer to as MC Advisors’ investment performance risk rating. For any investment rated in grades 3, 4 or 5, MC Advisors, through its internal Portfolio Management Group (“PMG”), will increase its monitoring intensity and prepare regular updates for the investment committee, summarizing current operating results and material impending events and suggesting recommended actions. The PMG is responsible for oversight and management of any investments rated in grades 3, 4, or 5. MC Advisors monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment ratings assigned to each investment in our portfolio. In connection with our valuation process, MC Advisors reviews these investment performance risk ratings on a quarterly basis. The investment performance risk rating system is described as follows:

Investment
Performance
Risk Rating
Summary Description
Grade 1Includes investments exhibiting the least amount of risk in our portfolio. The issuer is performing above expectations or the issuer’s operating trends and risk factors are generally positive.
Grade 2Includes investments exhibiting an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination. The issuer is generally performing as expected or the risk factors are neutral to positive.
Grade 3Includes investments performing below expectations and indicates that the investment’s risk has increased somewhat since origination. The issuer may be out of compliance with debt covenants; however, scheduled loan payments are generally not past due.
Grade 4Includes an issuer performing materially below expectations and indicates that the issuer’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the issuer being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, scheduled loan payments may be past due (but generally not more than six months past due).

Grade 5Indicates that the issuer is performing substantially below expectations and the investment risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance or payments are substantially delinquent. Investments graded 5 are not anticipated to be repaid in full.

Our investment performance risk ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or reflect or represent any third-party assessment of any of our investments.

In the event of a delinquency or a decision to rate an investment Grade 4 or Grade 5, the PMG, in consultation with the investment committee, will develop an action plan. Such a plan may require a meeting with the borrower’s management or the lender group to discuss reasons for the default and the steps management is undertaking to address the under-performance, as well as amendments and waivers that may be required. In the event of a dramatic deterioration of a credit, MC Advisors and the PMG will form a team or engage outside advisors to analyze, evaluate and take further steps to preserve our value in the credit. In this regard, we would expect to explore all options, including in a private equity sponsored investment, assuming certain responsibilities for the private equity sponsor or a formal sale of the business with oversight of the sale process by us. The PMG and the investment committee have extensive experience in running debt work-out transactions and bankruptcies.

The increase in investment income of $13.5 million and $36.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, is primarily the result of an increase in interest income. The increase in interest income was primarily due to the growth of our investment portfolio and increases in effective rates on the portfolio as a result of the rising interest rate environment.

(1) Base management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $3,285 and $8,759, respectively. MC Advisors elected to voluntarily waive zero and $1,701 of such base management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Base management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $1,699 and $3,661, respectively. MC Advisors elected to voluntarily waive zero and $1,425 of such base management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Base management fee waivers are not subject to recoupment by MC Advisors. There is no guarantee that MC Advisors will waive any base management fees in the future.
(2)Incentive fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $1,647 and $3,853, comprised of part one incentive fees of $1,707 and $4,474 and part two capital gains incentive fees of ($60) and ($621), respectively. MC Advisors elected to voluntarily waive the part one incentive fees of $162 and $1,468 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Incentive fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $860 and $3,194, comprised of part one incentive fees of $771 and $1,924 and part two capital gains incentive fees of $89 and $1,270, respectively. MC Advisors elected to voluntarily waive the part one incentive fees of $569 and $1,722 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Incentive fee waivers are not subject to recoupment by MC Advisors. There is no guarantee that MC Advisors will waive any incentive fees in the future. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements and “Capital Gains Incentive Fee” for additional information.

The composition of our interest and other debt financing expenses, average debt outstanding and average stated interest rates (i.e. the rate in effect plus spread) were as follows (in thousands):

  Three months ended September 30, 
  2022  2021 
Interest expense – revolving credit facility $1,128  $1,576 
Interest expense – 2022 ABS  3,221

Total interest and other debt financing expenses $4,979  $1,872 
Average debt outstanding $351,614  $172,808 
Average stated interest rate  4.9%  3.6%

  Nine months ended September 30, 
  2022  2021

Interest expense – 2022 ABS  6,227    
Amortization of deferred financing costs  1,621   580 
Total interest and other debt financing expenses $12,961  $3,485 
Average debt outstanding $349,134  $104,051 
Average stated interest rate  4.3%  3.7%

The increase in total expenses of $6.3 and $16.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, is primarily a result of an increase in interest expense as average borrowings increased to support the growth of the portfolio and an increase in base management and incentive fees, net of fee waivers.

Income Taxes, Including Excise Taxes

We have elected to be treated, currently qualify, and intend to continue to qualify annually as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the U.S. federal income tax treatment available to RICs. To maintain qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute to stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses.

53

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward such taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions from such current year taxable income into the next year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income may exceed estimated current year dividend distributions, we accrue excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a net tax expense on the consolidated statements of operations of $1 thousand for U.S. federal excise tax. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a net expense on the consolidated statements of operations of $7 thousand and $14 thousand, respectively for U.S. federal excise tax, respectively.

Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state corporate-level income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a net tax expense of zero and $1 thousand, respectively on the consolidated statements of operations for these subsidiaries. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we did not record a net tax expense on the consolidated statements of operations for these subsidiaries.

Net Realized Gain (Loss)

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had sales of investments of zero and $0.9 million, respectively, resulting in zero and $79 thousand of net realized gain (loss) on investments, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had sales of investments of $15.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively, resulting in ($17) thousand and $151 thousand of net realized gain (loss) on investments, respectively.

We have entered and may continue to enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had $39 thousand and $17 thousand net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency forward contracts, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had $84 thousand and $14 thousand net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency forward contracts, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had ($1) thousand and ($5) thousand of net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency and other transactions, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had ($14) thousand and ($46) thousand of net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency and other transactions, respectively.

Net Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss)

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our investments had ($2.1) million and $2.5 million of net change in unrealized gain (loss), respectively. The net change in unrealized gain (loss) includes both unrealized gain on investments in our portfolio with mark-to-market gains during the periods and unrealized loss on investments in our portfolio with mark-to-market losses during the periods.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the net change in unrealized loss on investments was primarily attributable to overall market volatility and spread widening in the loan market. Additionally, $0.7 million in net change in unrealized loss on investments was attributable to portfolio companies that have underlying credit or fundamental performance concerns resulting in a risk rating of Grade 3, 4, or 5 on our investment performance risk rating scale that were still held as of September 30, 2022. We estimate a majority of the net unrealized gain on investments during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was attributable to broad market movements or improvements in fundamental performance at our portfolio companies.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our investments had ($5.5) million and $7.6 million of net change in unrealized gain (loss), respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the net change in unrealized loss on investments was primarily attributable to overall market volatility and spread widening in the loan market. Additionally, $1.6 million in net change in unrealized loss on investments was attributable to portfolio companies that have underlying credit or fundamental performance concerns resulting in a risk rating of Grade 3, 4, or 5 on our investment performance risk rating scale that were still held as of September 30, 2022. We estimate approximately $6.9 million of the net unrealized gains on investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was attributable to broad market movements and tightening of credit spreads in the loan markets. Approximately $0.7 million in net unrealized gains was attributable to portfolio companies that have underlying credit or fundamental performance concerns resulting in a risk rating of Grade 3, 4 or 5 on our investment performance risk rating scale.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our foreign currency forward contracts had $1.5 million and $0.7 million of net change in unrealized gain (loss), respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our foreign currency forward contracts had $2.3 million and $0.9 million of net change in unrealized gain (loss), respectively.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $11.7 million and $8.3 million, respectively. Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our per share net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $0.19 and $0.33, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $28.4 million and $20.1 million, respectively. Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our per share net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $0.56 and $1.00, respectively.

54

The $3.4 million and $8.3 million increases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, is primarily the result of increased net investment income due to the significant portfolio growth and increases in effective rates on the portfolio as a result of the rising interest rate environment. The increases in net investment income were partially offset by net unrealized mark-to-market losses on investments primarily due to market volatility and spread widening during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, where investments in the portfolio experienced net mark-to-market gains primarily attributable to broad market movements and the tightening of credit spreads in the loan markets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate cash primarily from (i) the net proceeds of private offerings, (ii) cash flows from our operations, and (iii) borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility and any financing arrangements we may enter into in the future. These financings may come in the form of borrowings from banks and issuances of senior securities. Our primary uses of cash are for (i) investments in portfolio companies and other investments to comply with certain portfolio diversification requirements, (ii) the cost of operations (including paying MC Advisors and reimbursements to MC Management), (iii) debt service of any borrowings, (iv) share repurchases under our share repurchase program and (v) cash distributions to our stockholders.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $4.7 million in cash, $31.8 million in restricted cash at MC Income Plus Financing SPV LLC (the “SPV”), $26.0 million in restricted cash at Monroe Capital Income Plus ABS Funding, LLC (the “2022 Issuer”). Additionally, we had $136.8 million debt outstanding on our revolving credit facility and $306.0 million debt outstanding on our 2022 ABS. We had $313.2 million available for additional borrowings on our revolving credit facility, subject to borrowing base availability. See “Borrowings” below for additional information.

In accordance with the 1940 Act, we are permitted to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our asset coverage ratio based on aggregate borrowings outstanding was 249% and 206%, respectively.

Cash Flows

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we experienced a net increase in cash and restricted cash of $48.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, operating activities used $297.7 million and $299.0 million of cash, respectively, primarily as a result of purchases of portfolio investments, partially offset by principal repayments on and sales of portfolio investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated $346.2 million and $303.8 million from financing activities, primarily as a result of the issuance of common stock and net borrowings on our debt facilities, partially offset by distributions to stockholders.

Capital Resources

As a BDC, we distribute substantially all of our net income to our stockholders and have an ongoing need to raise additional capital for investment purposes. We intend to generate additional cash primarily from future offerings of securities, including our current Second Private Offering and any subsequent offerings, future borrowings and cash flows from operations, including income earned from investments in our portfolio companies. On both a short-term and long-term basis, our primary use of funds will be to invest in portfolio companies, fund share repurchases under our share repurchase program and make cash distributions to our stockholders. We may also use available funds to repay outstanding borrowings.

As a BDC, we are generally not permitted to issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value (“NAV”) per share. We may, however, sell our common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the then-current NAV per share of our common stock if our board of directors (the “Board”), including our independent directors, determines that such sale is in the best interests of us and our stockholders, and if our stockholders have approved such sales. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had 65,309,147 and 36,565,162 shares outstanding, respectively.

Stock Issuances and Share Repurchase Program

Stock Issuances: We are conducting our second best efforts, continuous private offering of our common stock to “accredited investors” in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (the “Second Private Offering”). At each closing an investor purchases shares of our common stock pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into with us. At each closing, investors are required to fund their full subscription to purchase shares of our common stock.

The following table summarizes the issuance of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Second Private Offering during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands except shares and per share data):

Share Repurchase Program: During 2022, we commenced a quarterly share repurchase program in which we intend to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the close of the previous calendar quarter (the “Share Repurchase Program”), subject to the discretion of our Board. Any such repurchases are subject to approval by our Board, in its discretion, and the availability of cash to fund such repurchases. Our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders.

Distributions

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the applicable record date. The amount, if any, to be distributed to common stockholders is determined by our Board at least quarterly and is generally based upon our earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually.

The determination of the tax attributes for our distributions is made annually, based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Ordinary dividend distributions from a RIC do not qualify for the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income from domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations, except to the extent that the RIC received the income in the form of qualifying dividends from domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. The tax attributes for distributions will generally include both ordinary income and capital gains, but may also include qualified dividends or return of capital. Distributions to stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $11.8 million ($0.20 per share) and $29.3 million ($0.60 per share), respectively. Distributions to stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $4.8 million ($0.20 per share) and $15.5 million ($0.80 per share), respectively. The tax character of such distributions is determined at the end of the fiscal year. However, if the character of such distributions were determined as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, no portion of these distributions would have been characterized as a tax return of capital to stockholders.

56

We have adopted a DRIP that provides for the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions on behalf of its stockholders that elect to participate in such plan. As a result, if we declare a dividend or distribution, our stockholders’ cash distributions will only be reinvested in additional shares of our common stock if a stockholder specifically “opts in” to the DRIP at least ten (10) days prior to the record date fixed by our Board. Shares issued under the DRIP will be issued at a price per share equal to the NAV per share as of the last day of our fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date that the distribution was declared. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on our distributions.

Borrowings

Revolving Credit Facility: We have a $450.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with KeyBank National Association, as agent, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, the SPV. Our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants as well as availability under the borrowing base, which permits us to borrow up to 72% of the principal balance of our portfolio company investments depending on the type of investment. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the SPV is permitted to reinvest available cash and make new borrowings under the Credit Facility through July 16, 2024. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is July 16, 2026. Distributions from the SPV to us are limited by the terms of the Credit Facility, which generally allows for the distribution of net interest income pursuant to a waterfall quarterly during the reinvestment period. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of our investments held in the SPV as collateral for the Credit Facility was $528.1 million and $616.0 million, respectively, and these investments are identified on the accompanying consolidated schedules of investments. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $136.8 million and $348.6 million, respectively.

During the reinvestment period, borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR (one or three month, at the SPV’s option and subject to a LIBOR minimum of 0.50%) plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to a maximum of 3.00%, depending on the level of utilization of the facility and the number of obligors of eligible loans pledged as collateral in the SPV. After the reinvestment period, borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 3.25%. In addition to the stated interest rate on borrowings, the SPV is required to pay an unused commitment fee of (i) 0.50% per annum on any unused portion of the Credit Facility when the outstanding borrowings are less than or equal to 60% of the facility amount and (ii) 0.35% per annum on any unused portion of the Credit Facility when the outstanding borrowings are greater than 60% of the facility amount. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding borrowings were accruing at a weighted average interest rate of 5.3% and 3.3%, respectively.

Asset-Backed Securitization: On April 7, 2022, we completed a $425.0 million asset-backed securitization (the “2022 ABS”). The notes offered in the 2022 ABS were issued by the 2022 Issuer, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and are secured by a diversified portfolio of senior secured loans. The transaction was executed through a private placement of $261.4 million of Class A Senior Secured Notes, which bear interest at 4.05% (the “Class A Notes”), $44.6 million of Class B Senior Secured Notes, which bear interest at 5.15% (the “Class B Notes”) and $36.1 million of Class C Senior Secured Notes, which bear interest at 7.75% (the “Class C Notes” and collectively with the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes, the “Secured 2022 Notes”), and $82.9 million of Subordinated Notes, which do not bear interest (the “Subordinated 2022 Notes” and, together with the Secured 2022 Notes, the “2022 Notes”). We retained all of the Class C Notes and the Subordinated 2022 Notes. The Class A Notes and the Class B Notes are included as debt on the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2022, the Class C and Subordinated Notes were eliminated in consolidation.

The 2022 Issuer used the proceeds from the securitization to, among other things, purchase certain investments from us and the SPV. Through April 22, 2024, the 2022 Issuer is permitted to use all principal collections received on the underlying collateral to purchase new collateral under the direction of MC Advisors, in its capacity as collateral manager of the 2022 Issuer, in accordance with our investment strategy and subject to customary conditions set forth in the documents governing the 2022 ABS, allowing us to maintain the initial leverage in the 2022 ABS. The 2022 Notes are due on April 30, 2032.

As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of our investments held in the 2022 Issuer as collateral was $400.9 million and these investments are identified on the accompanying consolidated schedule of investments.

 Distributions from the 2022 Issuer to us are limited by the terms of the indenture governing the 2022 ABS, which generally allows for the payment of interest on the Secured 2022 Notes and the distribution of remaining net interest income to the holders of the Subordinated Notes pursuant to a waterfall quarterly during the reinvestment period.

Related Party Transactions

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

Commitments and Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Commitments and Contingencies

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding commitments to fund investments under undrawn revolvers, delayed draw commitments and subscription agreements totaling $245.9 million and $125.2 million, respectively. We believe that our available cash balances and/or ability to draw on the Credit Facility provide sufficient funds to cover our unfunded commitments as of September 30, 2022. Additionally, we have entered into certain contracts with other parties that contain a variety of indemnification provisions. Our maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, we have not experienced claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believe the risk of loss related to such indemnification provisions to be remote.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than contractual commitments and other legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of our business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financings or liabilities.

Market Trends

We have identified the following general trends that may affect our business:

Target Market: We believe that small and middle-market companies in the United States with annual revenues between $10.0 million and $2.5 billion represent a significant growth segment of the U.S. economy and often require substantial capital investments to grow. Middle-market companies have generated a significant number of investment opportunities for investment funds managed or advised by Monroe Capital, and we believe that this market segment will continue to produce significant investment opportunities for us.

Specialized Lending Requirements: We believe that several factors render many U.S. financial institutions ill-suited to lend to U.S. middle-market companies. For example, based on the experience of our management team, lending to U.S. middle-market companies (1) is generally more labor intensive than lending to larger companies due to the smaller size of each investment and the fragmented nature of information for such companies, (2) requires due diligence and underwriting practices consistent with the demands and economic limitations of the middle-market and (3) may also require more extensive ongoing monitoring by the lender.

Demand for Debt Capital: We believe there is a large pool of uninvested private equity capital for middle-market companies. We expect private equity firms will seek to leverage their investments by combining equity capital with senior secured loans and mezzanine debt from other sources, such as us.

Competition from Other Lenders: We believe that many traditional bank lenders, in recent years, de-emphasized their service and product offerings to middle-market businesses in favor of lending to large corporate clients and managing capital market transactions. In addition, many commercial banks face significant balance sheet constraints as they seek to build capital and meet future regulatory capital requirements. These factors may result in opportunities for alternative funding sources to middle-market companies and therefore drive increased new investment opportunities for us. Conversely, there has been a significant amount of capital raised over the past several years dedicated to middle market lending, which has increased competitive pressure in the BDC and investment company marketplace for senior and subordinated debt, which in turn could result in lower yields and weaker financial covenants for new assets.

58

Pricing and Deal Structures: We believe that the volatility in global markets over the last several years and current macroeconomic issues including changes in bank regulations for middle-market banks has reduced access to, and availability of, debt capital to middle-market companies, causing a reduction in competition and generally more favorable capital structures and deal terms. Sizable recent capital raises in the private debt marketplace have created significantly increased competition over the last few years, reducing available pricing and creating less favorable capital structures; however, we believe that current market conditions for our target market may continue to create favorable opportunities to invest at attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Market Environment: We believe middle market investments are attractive in uncertain market environments such as the current market environment following the COVID-19 outbreak that began in late 2019 and early 2020, and that these investments have historically generated considerable yield premia with more favorable capital structures for lenders when compared to the market for large corporate loans.(1) On the other hand, we believe that the increased competition for direct lending to middle market businesses could result in less favorable pricing terms for our potential investments. If pricing, terms and structures weaken, we would expect to experience decreased net interest income, lower yields and increased risk of credit loss. However, we believe that Monroe Capital’s scale, product suite, entrenched relationships and strong market position will continue to allow us to find investment opportunities with attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

We record interest and fee income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. For loans and debt securities with contractual PIK interest, we do not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is not collectible. We do not accrue as a receivable interest on loans and debt securities if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such interest. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and then we amortize such amounts using the effective interest method as interest income over the life of the investment. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any unamortized premium or discount or loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income when we receive such amounts. Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual terms of debt and preferred equity investments. Interest is accrued on a daily basis. We record fees on loans based on the determination of whether the fee is considered a yield enhancement or payment for a service. If the fee is considered a yield enhancement associated with a funding of cash on a loan, the fee is generally deferred and recognized into interest income using the effective interest method if captured in the cost basis or using the straight-line method if the loan is unfunded and therefore there is no cost basis. If the fee is not considered a yield enhancement because a service was provided, and the fee is payment for that service, the fee is deemed earned and recognized as fee income in the period the service is completed.

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

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

 

AsFor periods prior to September 30, 2022, the Board determined the fair value of our investments. Pursuant to the new SEC Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, on September 30, 2022 the Board designated MC Advisors as our valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”). The Board is responsible for oversight of the Valuation Designee. The Valuation Designee has established a BDC, we will generally investvaluation committee to determine in illiquid securities including debtgood faith the fair value of our investments, based on input of the Valuation Designee’s management and personnel and independent valuation firms which are engaged at the direction of the valuation committee to assist in the valuation of certain portfolio investments lacking a readily available market quotation. The valuation committee determines fair values pursuant to a lesser extent, equity securities of middle-market companies. valuation policy approved by the Board and pursuant to a consistently applied valuation process.

Under procedures established by our Board,the valuation policy, we will value investments for which market quotations are readily available and within a recent date at such market quotations. We will obtain these market values from an independent pricing service or at the mean between the bid and ask prices obtained from at least two brokers or dealers (if available, otherwise by a principal market maker or a primary market dealer). When doing so, we will determine whether the quote obtained is sufficient in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America to determine the fair value of the security. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available or whose market prices are not regularly updated will beare valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board. Such determination of fair values may involve subjective judgments and estimates. Investments purchased within 60 days of maturity are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates fair value.

Our Board will be ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the portfolio investments that are not publicly traded, whose market prices are not readily available on a quarterly basis in good faith or any other situation where portfolio investments require a fair value determination.Valuation Designee. Because we expect that there will not be a readily available market for many of the investments in our portfolio, we expect to value many of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our BoardValuation Designee using a documented valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. Such determination of fair values may involve subjective judgments and estimates. 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 differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.

 

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our Board will undertakethe Valuation Designee undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

·the quarterly valuation process will beginbegins with each portfolio company or investment being initially evaluated and rated by the investment professionals of MC Advisorsthe Valuation Designee responsible for the credit monitoring of the portfolio investment;

·preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with the investment committee of MC Advisors;

We generally use the income approach to determine fair value for loans where market quotations are not readily available, as long as it is appropriate. If there is deterioration in credit quality or a debt investment is in workout status, we may consider other factors in determining the fair value, including the value attributable to the debt investment from the enterprise value of the portfolio company or the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis. This liquidation analysis may also include probability weighting of alternative outcomes. We generally consider our debt to be performing if the borrower is not in default, the borrower is remitting payments in a timely manner, the loan is in covenant compliance and the loan is otherwise not deemed to be impaired. In determining the fair value of the performing debt, we consider fluctuations in current interest rates, the trends in yields of debt instruments with similar credit ratings, financial condition of the borrower, economic conditions and other relevant factors, both qualitative and quantitative. In the event that a debt instrument is not performing, as defined above, we will evaluate the value of the collateral utilizing the same framework described above for a performing loan to determine the value of the debt instrument.

Under the income approach, discounted cash flow models are utilized to determine the present value of the future cash flow streams of our debt investments, based on future interest and principal payments as set forth in the associated loan agreements. In determining fair value under the income approach, we also consider the following factors: applicable market yields and leverage levels, credit quality, prepayment penalties, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, and changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that generally may affect the price at which similar investments may be made.

Under the market approach, the enterprise value methodology is typically utilized to determine the fair value of an investment. There is no one methodology to estimate enterprise value and, in fact, for any one portfolio company, enterprise value is generally best expressed as a range of values, from which we derive a single estimate of enterprise value. In estimating the enterprise value of a portfolio company, we analyze various factors consistent with industry practice, including but not limited to original transaction multiples, the portfolio company’s historical and projected financial results, applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and leverage levels, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, and comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public. Typically, the enterprise values of private companies are based on multiples of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), cash flows, net income, revenues, or in limited cases, book value.

In addition, for certain debt investments, we may base our valuation on indicative bid and ask prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that we and others may be willing to pay. Ask prices represent the lowest price that we and others may be willing to accept. We generally use the midpoint of the bid/ask range as our best estimate of fair value of such investment.

As of September 30, 2022, our Valuation Designee determined, in good faith, the fair value of our investment portfolio in accordance with GAAP and our valuation procedures based on the facts and circumstances known by us at that time, or reasonably expected to be known at that time.

Net Realized Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Gain or Loss

 

We will measure realized gain or loss by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized gain or loss previously recognized. Net change in unrealized gain or loss reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized gain or loss, when gainsgain or losses areloss is realized. Additionally, we willdo not isolate the portion of the change in fair value resulting from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from the changes in the fair values of the underlying investment. All fluctuations in fair value will beare included in net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments on our consolidated statements of operations.

 

Management andCapital Gains Incentive FeesFee

 

We willPursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement with MC Advisors, the incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments of our portfolio is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement). This fee equals 12.5% (reduced from 15.0% as a result of MC Advisors April 18, 2022 agreement to permanently waive a portion of the incentive fees starting on January 1, 2022) of our incentive fee capital gains (i.e., our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis), less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. On a quarterly basis, we accrue for the base management fee andcapital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if any. The accrual forit were due and payable as of the end of such period.

While the Investment Advisory Agreement with MC Advisors neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, includespursuant to an interpretation of an American Institute for Certified Public Accountants Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, we include unrealized gains in the recognitioncalculation of (i) ordinary incomethe capital gains incentive fee expense and (ii)related accrued capital gains incentive fee. TheThis accrual forreflects the incentive fee includes the recognition of incentive fee on unrealized capital gains, even though such incentive fee is neither earned norfees that would be payable to MC Advisors if our entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though MC Advisors is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until thesuch gains are bothactually realized.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reversed $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of previously accrued capital gains incentive fees based on the performance of our portfolio and the reduction in the incentive fee rate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we accrued capital gains incentive fees of $0.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively based on the performance of our portfolio, $14 thousand and $21 thousand, respectively, of which was payable to MC Advisors as a result of realized gains. The remaining $0.1 million and in excess$1.3 million, respectively, was based on unrealized appreciation, none of unrealized depreciation on investments.which was payable to MC Advisors under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

  

Organization and Offering Costs and ExpensesNew Accounting Pronouncements

 

AsIn March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (“ASU 2020-04”). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The standard is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. We did not utilize the optional expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, MC Management has incurred organization and offering costs of approximately $210,984 on our behalf. In the event receipt of a formal commitment of external capital does not occur, initial organization and offering costs and expenses incurred will be borne by MC Management. If a formal commitment of external capital does occur, MC Management has agreed to reimburse us up to $250,000 for organization and offering costs. If the expenses incurred are greater than $250,000, we will reimburse MC Management for organization and offering costs incurred on our behalf in excess of $250,000.

Organization costs include, among other things, the cost of organizing as a Maryland corporation, including the cost of legal services, directors’ fees and other fees, including travel-related expenses, pertaining to our organization. Offering costs include, among other things, legal fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of our private placement memorandum

Federal Income Taxes

We intend to elect to be treated, and intend to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code as soon as practicable. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes on distributed income and gains if it distributes at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of its net long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. We intend to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain our RIC status each year and we do not anticipate paying any material federal income taxes in the future.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As we have not yet commenced investment activities, we have not substantiated any transactions to date. We expect to generate cash primarily from (i) the net proceeds of private offerings, (ii) cash flows from our operations, and (iii) any financing arrangements we may enter into in the future. We may fund a portion of our investments through borrowings from banks and issuances of senior securities. Our primary uses of cash will be for (i) investments in portfolio companies and other investments to comply with certain portfolio diversification requirements, (ii) the cost of operations (including paying MC Advisors and reimbursements to MC Management), (iii) debt service of any borrowings and (iv) cash distributions to our stockholders.2022.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As of September 30, 2018, we had not commenced investment activities.

We will beare subject to financial market risks, including changesvaluation risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and inflation and supply chain risk. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the COVID-19 outbreak and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have introduced significant volatility in interest rates. We planthe financial markets, and the effects of this volatility could materially impact our market risks. For additional information concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine and their potential impact on our business and our operating results, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, “Risks Relating to invest primarilyOur Business and Structure – The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe disruptions in illiquid debtthe global economy, which has had, and equity securitiesmay continue to have, a negative impact on our portfolio companies and our business and operations” and Part II – Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report “The Russian invasion of privateUkraine may have a material adverse impact on us and our portfolio companies. Most of our” 

Valuation Risk

Our investments willmay not have a readily available market price,quotations (as such term is defined in Rule 2a-5), and we will value thesethose investments which do not have readily available market quotations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Boardour Valuation Designee in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. 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, including as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and financial and capital markets. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is possible that the difference could be material.

In accordance with Rule 2a-5, our Board periodically assesses and manages material risks associated with the determination of the fair value of our investments.

 

Interest Rate Risk

The majority of the loans in our portfolio have floating interest rates and we expect that our loans in the future may also have floating interest rates. These loans are usually based on a floating LIBOR or SOFR and typically have interest rate re-set provisions that adjust applicable interest rates under such loans to current market rates on a monthly or quarterly basis. The majority of the loans in our current portfolio have interest rate floors that will effectively convert the loans to fixed rate loans in the event interest rates decrease. In addition, our Credit Facility has a floating interest rate provision, whereas our Secured 2022 Notes have fixed interest rates until maturity. We expect that other credit facilities into which we may enter in the future may also have floating interest rate provisions.

Assuming that the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2022 was to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates (in thousands):

  Increase
(decrease) in

  Net increase

Up 200 basis points  21,154   3,542   17,612 
Up 300 basis points  31,370   4,910   26,460 

Although we believe that this analysis is indicative of our existing sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for changes in the credit market, credit quality, the size and composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business developments, including borrowing under the Credit Facility or other borrowings that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net income. Accordingly, we can offer no assurances that actual results would not differ materially from the analysis above.

We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates or interest rate floors.

Currency Risk

We may also have exposure to foreign currencies (currently Canadian dollars and Australian dollars) related to certain investments. Such investments are translated into U.S. dollars based on the spot rate at each balance sheet date, exposing us to movements in the exchange rate. We may also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency exposure. As of September 30, 2022, we had foreign currency forward contracts in place for CAD 12.6 million and AUD 17.9 million associated with future principal and interest payments on certain investments.

Inflation and Supply Chain Risk

Economic activity has continued to accelerate across sectors and regions. Nevertheless, due to global supply chain issues, geopolitical events, a rise in energy prices and strong consumer demand as economies continue to reopen, inflation is showing signs of acceleration in the U.S. and globally. Inflation is likely to continue in the near to medium-term, particularly in the U.S., with the possibility that monetary policy may tighten in response. Persistent inflationary pressures could affect our portfolio companies’ profit margins. 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, at the end of the period covered by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

 

No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in RuleRules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 20182022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine may have a material adverse impact on us and our portfolio companies.

On February 24, 2022, the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, announced a military invasion of Ukraine. In response, countries worldwide, including the United States, have imposed sanctions against Russia on certain businesses and individuals, including, but not limited to, those in the banking, import and export sectors. This invasion has led, is currently leading, and for an unknown period of time will continue to lead to disruptions in local, regional, national, and global markets and economies affected thereby. These disruptions caused by the invasion have included, and may continue to include, political, social, and economic disruptions and uncertainties that may affect our business operations or the business operations of our portfolio companies.

The 1940 Act allows us to incur additional leverage, which could increase the risk of investing in us.

The 1940 Act generally prohibits us from incurring indebtedness unless immediately after such borrowing we have an asset coverage for total borrowings of at least 150% (i.e., the amount of our debt may not exceed 66.7% of the value of our total assets), if certain requirements are met, including approval by our Board and stockholders.

Our Board and MC Advisors, our initial stockholder, approved a proposal to adopt an asset coverage ratio of 150% in connection with our organization. Incurring additional indebtedness could increase the risk of investing in us.

Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique and may increase the risk of investing in our securities. Leverage magnifies the potential for loss on investments in our indebtedness and on invested equity capital. As we use leverage to partially finance our investments, you will experience increased risks of investing in our securities. If the value of our assets increases, then leveraging would cause the net asset value attributable to our common stock to increase more sharply than it would have had we not leveraged. Conversely, if the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged our business. Similarly, any increase in our income in excess of interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net investment income to increase more than it would without the leverage, while any decrease in our income would cause net investment income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect our ability to pay distributions, scheduled debt payments or other payments related to our securities. The effects of leverage would cause any decrease in net asset value for any losses to be greater than any increase in net asset value for any corresponding gains. If we incur additional leverage, stockholders will experience increased risks of investing in our common stock.

We maintain a revolving credit facility and use other borrowed funds to make investments or fund our business operations, which exposes us to risks typically associated with leverage and increases the risk of investing in us.

We maintain a revolving credit facility and may borrow money, which is generally considered a speculative investment technique. As a result:

·our common stock is exposed to an increased risk of loss because a decrease in the value of our investments would have a greater negative impact on the value of our common stock than if we did not use leverage;
·if we do not appropriately match the assets and liabilities of our business, adverse changes in interest rates could reduce or eliminate the incremental income we make with the proceeds of any leverage;

63

·our ability to pay distributions on our common stock may be restricted if our asset coverage ratio, as provided in the 1940 Act, is not at least 150% and any amounts used to service indebtedness would not be available for such distributions;
·any credit facility is subject to periodic renewal by its lenders, whose continued participation cannot be guaranteed;
·our revolving credit facility with KeyBank National Association, as agent, is, and any other credit facility we may enter into would be, subject to various financial and operating covenants; and
·we bear the cost of issuing and paying interest on the revolving credit facility, which costs are entirely borne by our common stockholders.

The following table illustrates the effect of leverage on returns from an investment in our common stock assuming various annual returns, net of expenses. The calculations in the table below are hypothetical and actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing in the table below.

  Assumed Return on Our Portfolio
 (Net of Expenses) (1) 
 
  -10%  -5%  0%  5%  10% 
Corresponding return to common stockholder (2)(3)   -22.72%  -12.92%  -3.12%  6.68%  16.48%

(1)The assumed return on our portfolio is required by regulation of the SEC to assist investors in understanding the effects of leverage and is not a prediction of, and does not represent, our projected or actual performance.
(2)Assumes $724.3 million in total assets, $354.8 million in debt outstanding, of which $348.6 million is senior securities outstanding, $369.5 million in net assets and an average cost of funds of 3.25%, which was the weighted average interest rate of borrowings on our revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2021. The interest rate on our revolving credit facility is a variable rate. Actual interest payments may be different.  
(3)In order for us to cover our annual interest payments on indebtedness, we must achieve annual returns on our December 31, 2021 total portfolio assets of at least 1.59%.

The interest rates of our revolving credit facility and term loans to our portfolio companies that extend beyond 2021 might be subject to change based on recent regulatory changes, including the decommissioning of LIBOR.

LIBOR, the London Interbank Offered Rate, is the basic rate of interest used in lending transactions between banks on the London interbank market and is widely used as a reference for setting the interest rate on loans globally. We typically use LIBOR as a reference rate in term loans we extend to portfolio companies such that the interest due to us pursuant to a term loan extended to a portfolio company is calculated using LIBOR. The terms of our debt investments generally include minimum interest rate floors that are calculated based on LIBOR. Amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility also currently bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin.

On March 5, 2021, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that the 1-week and 2-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings will cease publication after December 31, 2021 and the overnight 1, 3, 6 and 12 months U.S. dollar LIBOR settings will cease publication after June 30, 2023. However, the FCA has indicated it will not compel panel banks to continue to contribute to LIBOR after the end of 2021 and the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have encouraged banks to cease entering into new contracts that use U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate no later than December 31, 2021.

To identify a successor rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), a U.S.-based group convened by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was formed. The ARRC has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. SOFR is a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and is based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase transactions. On July 29, 2021, the ARCC formally recommended SOFR as its preferred alternative replacement rate for LIBOR. Although SOFR appears to be the preferred replacement rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR, at this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of any such changes, any establishment of alternative reference rates or other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United States, United Kingdom or elsewhere or, whether the COVID-19 outbreak will have further effect on LIBOR transition plans.

Although there have been a few issuances utilizing SOFR or the Sterling Over Night Index Average, an alternative reference rate that is based on transactions, it is unknown whether these alternative reference rates will attain market acceptance as replacements for LIBOR.

64

The elimination of LIBOR or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR could have an adverse impact on the market value of and/or transferability of any LIBOR-linked securities, loans, and other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to us or on our overall financial condition or results of operations. In addition, we may need to renegotiate our Credit Facility and the credit agreements extending beyond the date with which the tenor of their associated LIBOR will no longer be available with our portfolio companies that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate, in order to replace LIBOR with the new standard that is established, which may have an adverse effect on our overall financial condition or results of operations. Following the replacement of LIBOR, some or all of these credit agreements may bear interest at a lower interest rate, which could have an adverse impact on the value and liquidity of our investment in these portfolio companies and, as a result on our results of operations.

To date, certain of the loan agreements with our portfolio companies have already been amended to include fallback language providing a mechanism for the parties to negotiate a new reference interest rate in the event that LIBOR ceases to exist. Factors such as the pace of the transition to replacement or reformed rates, the specific terms and parameters for and market acceptance of any alternative reference rate, prices of and the liquidity of trading markets for products based on alternative reference rates, and our ability to transition and develop appropriate systems and analytics for one or more alternative reference rates could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any further changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, tax position and results of operations.
