The Fund maintains deposits of its cash with financial institutions, and, at times, cash held in bank accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. The Fund considers all highly liquid investments, with original maturities of less than ninety days, as cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income on debt instruments is accrued and recognized for those issuers who are currently paying in full or expected to pay in full. For those issuers who are in default or expected to default, interest is not accrued and is only recognized when received. Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Fund otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Fund will place the loan on non-accrual status and will cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Fund generally restores non-accrual loans to accrual status
when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the management’s judgment, is likely to remain current. Interest income and expense include discounts accreted and premiums amortized on certain debt instruments as determined in good faith by the Adviser and calculated using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discounts and market discounts or premiums are capitalized as part of the underlying cost of the investments and accreted or amortized over the life of the investment as interest income.
Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
Certain investments in debt securities may contain a contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. The PIK provisions generally feature the obligation, or the option, at each interest payment date of making interest payments in (i) cash, (ii) additional debt or (iii) a combination of cash and additional debt. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in the investment’s credit agreement, is accrued as interest income and recorded as interest receivable up to the interest payment date. On the interest payment date, the accrued interest receivable attributable to PIK is added to the principal balance of the investment. When additional debt is received on the interest payment date, it typically has the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, as the original loan. PIK interest generally becomes due on the investment’s maturity date or call date.
The Fund intendsmay earn various fees during the life of the loans. Such fees include, but are not limited to, electsyndication, commitment, administration, prepayment and amendment fees, some of which are paid to the Fund on an ongoing basis. These fees and any other income are recognized as earned.
Non-Accrual Investments
Investments are placed on non-accrual status when it is probable that principal, interest or dividends will not be collected according to the contractual terms. Accrued interest or dividends generally are reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest or dividend payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Nonaccrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest or dividends are paid and, in management’s judgment, principal and interest or dividend payments are likely to remain current. The Fund may make exceptions to this treatment if an investment has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of March 31, 2021, the Fund had certain investments held in one portfolio company on non-accrual status, which represented 0.31% and 0.67% of the total investments (excluding investments in cash equivalents, if any) at amortized cost and at fair value. As of December 31, 2020, the Fund had no investments on non-accrual status.
Credit Facility Related Costs, Expenses and Deferred Financing Costs
The Revolving Credit Facilities (as defined in Note 4) are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value. Interest expense and unused commitment fees on the Revolving Credit Facilities are recorded on an accrual basis. Unused commitment fees are included in interest and borrowing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred financing costs include capitalized expenses related to the closing of the Revolving Credit Facilities. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed on the straight-line basis over the contractual term. The amortization of such costs is included in interest and borrowing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, with any unamortized amounts included in deferred financing costs on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.
Notes Payable Related Costs, Expenses and Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs
The Notes (as defined in Note 4) are recorded at carrying value. Interest expense on notes payable is recorded on an accrual basis. Debt issuance costs relating to notes payable are amortized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term and included in interest and borrowing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized debt issuance costs are included as a direct reduction of the carrying value of the notes payable (i.e. a contra liability).
Upon early termination or partial principal pay down of the Notes, the unamortized costs related to the Notes are accelerated into interest and borrowing expenses on the Fund’s consolidated statements of operations.
Secured Borrowings
The Fund may finance the purchase of certain investments through sale/buy-back agreements. In a sale/buy-back agreement, the Fund enters into a trade to sell an investment and contemporaneously enters into a trade to buy the same investment back on a specified date in the future with the same counterparty. The Fund uses sale/buy-back agreements as a short-term financing alternative
to its existing Revolving Credit Facilities. The Fund accounts for its sale/buy-back agreements (the “Secured Borrowings”) as secured borrowings and continues to present the investment as an asset and the obligation to return the cash received as a liability within secured borrowings on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Interest income earned on investments pledged under sale/buy-back agreements and financing charges associated with the sale/buy-back agreements are included within interest income and interest and borrowing expenses, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest receivable on investments and accrued financing charges on the sale/buy-back agreements are included within interest receivable and interest and borrowing expenses payable, respectively, on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.
Income Taxes
ASC 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Based on its analysis of its tax position for all open tax years (the current and prior two years), the Fund has concluded that it does not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Fund has elected to be treated and intends to continue to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.amended (the “Code”). So long as the Fund is able to maintain its status as a RIC, it intends not to be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders, if any. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Fund is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income annually, meet diversification and income requirements quarterly, meet gross income requirements annually and file Form1120-RIC, as definedprovided by the Internal Revenue Code. In order for the Fund 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 one-year period ending on October 31 of 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 Fund, 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. The Fund will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the Fund accrued excise taxes of $0 and $0, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, $0 and $0, respectively, of accrued excise taxes remained payable.
The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which the Fund invests. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gain (loss) as such income and/or gains are earned.
The Fund remains subject to examination by U.S. federal and state jurisdictions, as well as international jurisdictions, and upon completion of these examinations (if undertaken by the taxing jurisdiction) tax adjustments may be necessary and retroactive to all open tax years.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. The Fund may pay distributions in excess of its taxable net investment income. This excess would be a tax-free return of capital in the period and reduce the stockholder’s tax basis in its Shares. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent they are charged or credited to paid-in capital in excess of par, accumulated undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gain (loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Temporary and permanent differences are primarily attributable to differences in the tax treatment of certain loans and the tax characterization of income and non-deductible expenses. These differences are generally determined in conjunction with the preparation of the Fund’s annual RIC tax
return. Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by the Adviser. The Fund may pay distributions to its stockholders in a year in excess of its net ordinary income and capital gains for that year and, accordingly, a portion of such distributions may constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Fund intends to timely distribute to its stockholders substantially all of its annual taxable income for each year, except that the Fund may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment and, depending upon the level of the Fund’s taxable income earned in a year, the Fund may choose to carry forward taxable income for distribution in the following year and pay any applicable U.S. federal excise tax. The specific tax characteristics of the Fund’s distributions will be reported to stockholders after the end of the calendar year. All distributions will be subject to available funds, and no assurance can be given that the Fund will be able to declare such distributions in future periods.
The Fund has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for stockholders to receive dividends or other distributions declared by the Board in cash unless a stockholder elects to “opt in” to the dividend reinvestment plan. As a result, if the Board declares a cash distribution, then the stockholders who have “opted in” to the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional Shares, rather than receiving the cash distribution.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into general business contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide for indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund expects the risk of material loss to be remote and no amounts have been recorded in the financial statement for such arrangements.
In November 2016,March 2020, the FASB issued ASUAccounting Standards Update 2016-18,2020-04,Statement of Cash Flows Reference Rate Reform (Topic 230)848): Restricted Cash (a ConsensusFacilitation of the Emerging Issues Task Force)(“Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU2016-18”2020-04”),. which requires thatThis update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update are optional and effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions
Advisory Agreement
On July 5, 2017,November 13, 2019, the Fund’s board of directors approvedFund entered into the investmentAmended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement”), replacing the advisory agreement the Fund entered into with the Adviser on July 27, 2017 (the “Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which the Fund will pay the Adviser, quarterly in arrears, a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.50%. The base management fee is calculated based on a percentage of the average outstanding assets of the Fund (which equals the gross value of equity and debt instruments, including investments made utilizing leverage), excluding cash and cash equivalents, during such fiscal quarter. The average outstanding assets will beis calculated by taking the average of the amount of assets of the Fund at the beginning and end of each month that occurs during the calculation period. The base management fee will beis calculated and paid quarterly in arrears but will be accrued monthly by the Fund over the fiscal quarter for which such base management fee is paid. The base management fee for any partial month or quarter will beis appropriately prorated. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Fund incurred a management fee of $2,069,181, of which $183,001 was voluntarily waived by the Adviser. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Fund incurred a management fee of $1,352,351, of which $1,227,046 was voluntarily waived by the Adviser. As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, $3,419,518 and $1,533,338, respectively, of accrued management fee remained payable.
The Fund will also pay the Adviser an incentive fee that provides the Adviser with a share of the income that the Adviser generates for the Fund. The incentive fee will consist of an income-based incentive fee component and a capital-gains component, which are largely independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not.
Income-Based Incentive Fee: The income-based incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Fund’s net investment income prior to any deductions with respect to such income-based incentive fees and capital gains incentive fees(“Pre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income” or “PIFNII”) for the quarter, as further described below.Pre-incentive fee net investment income PIFNII means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, managerial and consulting fees or
other fees the Fund receives from portfolio companies) that the Fund accrues during the fiscal quarter, minus the Fund’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) we have entered into with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Administrator”), and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding indebtedness or preferred stock, respectively, but excluding, for avoidance of doubt, the income-based incentive fee accrued under U.S. GAAP).Pre-incentive fee net investment income PIFNII also includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay in kindpay-in-kind interest and zero couponzero-coupon securities), accrued income that the Fund has not yet received in cash. The Adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse the Fund for any part of the income-based incentive fees it received that was based on accrued interest that the Fund never actually received.
Pre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income
PIFNII does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Because of the structure of the income-based incentive fee, it is possible that the Fund may accrue such income-based incentive fee in a quarter where the Fund incurs a net loss. For example, if the Fund receivesPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII in excess of a hurdle rate (as defined below) for a quarter, the Fund will accrue the applicable income-based incentive fee even if the Fund has incurred a realized and/or unrealized capital loss in that quarter. However, cash payment of the income-based incentive fee may be deferred in this situation, subject to the restrictions detailed at the end of this section.
Description of Quarterly Incentive Fee Calculations
We payThe Fund pays the Adviser an income-based incentive fee with respect toPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII in each calendar quarter as follows:
No income-based incentive fee in any calendar quarter in whichPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII does not exceed 1.5% per quarter (approximately 6%(6% per annum), the “6% Hurdle Rate”;
100% ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII with respect to that portion of suchPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, PIFNII, if any, that exceeds the 6% Hurdle Rate but is less than 1.67% in any calendar quarter (the “6%Catch-up Cap”), approximately 6.67% per annum. This portion ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII (which exceeds the 6% Hurdle Rate but is less than the 6%Catch-up Cap) is referred to as the “6%Catch-up.” The 6%Catch-up is meant to provide the Adviser with 10.0% of thePre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII as if hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeded 1.67% but was less than 1.94% in any calendar quarter; and
10.0% of the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, PIFNII, if any, that exceeds the 6%Catch-up Cap, but is less than 1.94% (the “7% Hurdle Rate”), approximately 7.78% per annum. The 7% Hurdle Rate is meant to limit the Adviser to 10% of thePre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII until the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII exceeds 1.94%, approximately 7.78% per annum; and
15.0% of the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, PIFNII, if any, that exceeds the 7%Catch-up Cap, but is less than 2.35% (the “8% Hurdle Rate”, approximately 9.41% per annum). The 8% Hurdle Rate is meant to limit the Adviser to 15% of thePre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII until the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII exceeds 2.06%2.35%, approximately 9.41% per annum; and
100% ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII with respect to that portion of suchPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, PIFNII, if any, that exceeds the 8% Hurdle Rate but is less than 2.50% in any calendar quarter (the “8%Catch-up Cap”), approximately 10% per annum. This portion ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII (which exceeds the 8% Hurdle Rate but is less than the 8%Catch-up cap) is referred to as the “8%Catch-up”. The 8%Catch-up is meant to provide the Adviser with 20.0% of thePre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeded 2.50% in any calendar quarter; and
20.0% of the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, PIFNII, if any, that exceeds 2.50% in any calendar quarter.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Fund incurred income-based incentive fees of $641,062. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Fund incurred income-based incentive fees of $769,023, of which $486,784 was voluntarily waived by the Adviser. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $2,994,136, and $2,353,074, respectively, of accrued income-based incentive fees remained payable.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee: The capital gains incentive fee is determined and payable at the end of each fiscal year as 17.5%20% of aggregate cumulative realized capital gains from the date of the Fund’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the end of that year, computed net of all aggregate cumulative realized capital losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized depreciation through the end of such year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. For the foregoing purpose, “aggregate cumulative realized capital gains” will not include any unrealized appreciation. It should be noted, however, that the Fund will accrue an incentive fee for accounting purposes taking into account any unrealized appreciation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For accounting purposes only, in orderwe are required under GAAP to reflect the theoretical capital gains incentive fee that would be payable foraccrue a given period as if all unrealized gains were realized, the Fund will accrue ahypothetical capital gains incentive fee based upon net realized gains and unrealized depreciation for that calendar year (in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement), plus unrealized appreciation on investments held at the end of the period. The accrual of this hypothetical capital gains incentive fee assumes all unrealized capital gain and loss is realized in order to reflect a hypothetical capital gains incentive fee that would be payable to the Adviser at each measurement date.
The capital gains incentive fee is not subject to any minimum return to stockholders. If such amount is negative, then no capital gains incentive fee will be payable for such year. Additionally, if the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement is terminated as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date will be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying the capital gains incentive fee.
Since inception, no capital gains incentive fees have been incurred or are payable as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The amount of capital gains incentive fee expense related to a hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to the Adviser in the event of a complete liquidation of the Fund’s portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement on such date. Also, it should be noted that the capital gains incentive fee expense fluctuates with the Fund’s overall investment results.
The Fund will defer cash payment of any income-based incentive fee and/or any capital gains incentive fee otherwise earned by the Adviser if during the most recent four full fiscal quarter periodperiods ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made, the sum of (a) thepre-incentive fee net investment income, PIFNII, and (b) the realized capital gain / loss and (c) unrealized capital appreciation/ depreciation expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets, is less than 6.0%. Any such deferred fees are carried over for payment in subsequent calculation periods to the extent such payment is payable under the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement.
Administration Agreement and Expense Reimbursement Agreement
We have entered into the Administration Agreement with the Administrator and a separate expense reimbursement agreement with the Adviser (the “Expense Reimbursement Agreement”) under which any allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs will be reimbursed by the Fund. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator will be responsible for providing us with clerical, bookkeeping, recordkeeping and other administrative services. We will reimburse the Adviser an amount equal to our allocable portion (subject to the review of our Board) of its overhead resulting from its obligations under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement, including the allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs.
Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement
On September 29, 2017, the Fund and the Adviser entered into an agreement (the “Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement”) to limit certain of the Fund’s Operating Expenses, as defined in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement,below, to no more than 1.5% of the Fund’s average quarterly gross assets. To achieve this percentage limitation, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain Operating Expenses on a quarterly basis (any such payment by the Adviser, an “Expense Payment”) and the Fund has agreed to later repay such amounts (any such payment by the Fund, a “Reimbursement Payment”), pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement. The actual percentage of Operating Expenses paid by the Fund in any quarter after deducting any Expense Payment, as a percentage of the Fund’s average quarterly gross assets, is referred to as the “Percentage Limit.”
Any Expense Payment by the Adviser pursuant to the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement will be subject to repayment by the Fund on a quarterly basis within the three years following the fiscal quarter of the Fund in which the Operating Expenses were paid or absorbed, if the total Operating Expenses for the current quarter, including Reimbursement Payments, expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average gross assets during such quarter is less than the then-current Percentage Limit, if any, and the Percentage Limit that was in effect at the time when the AdvisorAdviser reimbursed the Operating Expenses that are the subject of the repayment, subject to certain provisions of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, as described below. For purposes of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, “Operating Expenses” means the Fund’s Total Operating Expenses (as defined below), excluding base management fees, incentive fees, distribution and shareholderstockholder servicing fees, financing fees and costs, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses and “Total Operating Expenses” means all of the Fund’s operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The calculation of average net assets will be consistent with such periodic calculations of average net assets in the Fund’s financial statements.
However, no Reimbursement Payment for any quarter will be made if: (1) the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share (as defined below) declared by the Fund at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is less than or equal to the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates, or (2) the Fund’s Operating Expense Ratio at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is greater than or equal to the Operating Expense Ratio (as defined below) at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates. For purposes of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, “Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share” means the annualized rate (based on a365- day year) of regular cash distributions per shareShare exclusive of returns of capital, distribution rate reductions due to distribution and shareholder fees, and declared special dividends or special distributions, if any. The “Operating Expense Ratio” is calculated by dividing Operating Expenses in any quarter by the Fund’s average net assets in such quarter.
The specific amount of expenses paid by the Adviser, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. The Fund or the Adviser may terminate the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement at any time,
with or without notice. The Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of (a) the termination of the Advisory Agreement, or (b) the board of directors of the Fund makes a determination to dissolve or liquidate the Fund. Upon termination of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, the Fund will be required to fund any Expense Payments, subject to the aforementioned requirements per the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement that have not been reimbursed by the Fund to the Adviser.
As of September 30, 2017, the amount of Expense Payments provided by the Adviser since inception is $1,002,147. Management believes that a Reimbursement Payment by the Fund to the Adviser were not probable under the terms of the Expense Support Agreement as of September 30, 2017. The following table reflects the Expense Payments that may be subject to reimbursement pursuant to the Expense Agreement:

Transfer Agency Agreement
On September 26, 2017, the Fund and AllianceBernstein Investor Services, Inc. (“ABIS”), an affiliate of the Fund, entered into an agreement pursuant to which ABIS will provide transfer agent services to the Fund. The Fund bears the expenses related to the agreement with ABIS.
4. Organizational and Offering Expenses
Organization costs include, among other things, the cost of organizing as a Maryland corporation, including the cost of legal services and other fees pertaining to the Fund’s organization, all of which are expensed as incurred. Offering costs include, among other things, legal fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of the Fund’s private placement memorandum and other offering documents, including travel-related expenses. As of September 30, 2017, total organization expenses incurred amounted to $467,000. Offering expenses, which are being deferred, totaled $236,000, which is being amortized on a straight line basis over a one year period starting from September 29, 2017.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Adviser had reimbursed the above expenses as part of its Expense Payment, amounting to $467,647.
5. Fund Expenses
As of September 30, 2017, the Adviser and its affiliates have incurred expenses of approximately $534,500 on behalf of the Fund in relation to professional fees for insurance, legal, audit and tax services and board of directors’ compensation costs.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Adviser had reimbursed the above expenses as part of its Expense Payment, amounting to $534,500.
6. Net Assets
In connection with its formation, the Fund has the authority to issue 200,000,000 shares of the Fund’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share.
On September 29, 2017, the Fund completed its Initial Closing after entering into Subscription Agreements with several investors, including the Adviser, providing for the private placement of the Fund’s common shares. Under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, investors are required to fund drawdowns to purchase the Fund’s common shares up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments on anas-needed basis upon the issuance of a capital drawn-down notice. At September 30, 2017 the Fund had total Capital Commitments of $70,928,060, of which 100% is unfunded. The minimum Capital Commitment of an investor is $50,000. The Fund, however, may waive the minimum Capital Commitment at its discretion.
Capital Commitments may be drawn down by the Fund on a pro rata basis, as needed (includingfollow-on investments), for paying the Fund’s expenses, including fees under the Advisory Agreement, and/or maintaining a reserve account for the payment of future expenses or liabilities.

Moreover, we assume no duty and do not undertake to update the forward-looking statements.
The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q.
Overview
AB Private Credit Investors Corporation (the “Fund”) was formed on February 6, 2015 as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. We are currently in the development stage and have not commenced investment operations. Since inception, there has been no investment or operational activity. In conjunction with our formation, we issued and sold (i) 100 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, on June 27, 2016, at an aggregate purchase price of $1,000 ($10.00 per share) and (ii) 2,400 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, on May 26, 2017 to AB Private Credit Investors LLC.
On October 6, 2016 we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an election to be treated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We also intend to elect to be treated, and intend to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. While we intend to elect to be treated as a RIC as soon as practicable, we may have difficulty satisfying the asset diversification requirements as we deploy initial capital and build our portfolio. To the extent that we have net taxable income prior to our qualification as RIC, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such income. As a BDC and a RIC, respectively, we are and will be required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of our assets in “qualifying assets,” source of income limitations, asset diversification requirements, and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income andtax-exempt interest.
Our investment activities are managed by our external investment adviser, AB Private Credit Investors LLC (the “Adviser”), an investment adviser that is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. We intend to enter into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with a third party administrator (the “Administrator”), pursuant to which the Administrator will provide the administrative services necessary for us to operate.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years following an initial public offering, if any, although if the market value of our common stock that is held bynon-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, we will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.
The Fund is conducting private offerings (each a “Private Offering”) of its common stock to investors in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). At the closing of any Private Offering, each investor will make a capital commitment (a “Capital Commitment”) to purchase shares of the Fund’s common stock pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into with the Fund. Investors will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of the Fund’s common stock up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitment on anas-needed basis each time the Fund delivers a notice to its investors. The Fund anticipates commencing its loan origination and investment activities contemporaneously with the initial drawdown from investors in the initial Private Offering.
On September 29, 2017, the Fund completed the initial closing (“Initial Closing”) of its Private Offering after entering into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with several investors, including the Adviser, providing for the private placement of the Fund’s common shares. Under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, investors are required to fund drawdowns to purchase the Fund’s common shares up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments on anas-needed basis upon the issuance of a capital drawn-down notice. At September 30, 2017 the Fund had total Capital Commitments of $70,928,060, of which 100% is unfunded. Capital Commitments may be drawn down by the Fund on a pro rata basis, as needed (includingfollow-on investments), for paying the Fund’s expenses, including fees under the Advisory Agreement, and/or maintaining a reserve account for the payment of future expenses or liabilities.
Portfolio and Investment Activity
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we have not commenced investment activities.
Results of Operations
As of September 30, 2017, we completed the Initial Closing of our Private Offering but had not commenced any significant operational or investment activities. As of December 31, 2016, we had not completed the Initial Closing of our private offering or commenced any operational or investment activities. Therefore, no results of operations are reported.
Revenues
Our investment objective is to generate current income and prioritize capital preservation through a portfolio that primarily invests in directly-sourced, privately-negotiated, secured, middle market loans. We intend to primarily invest in middle market businesses based in the United States. We expect that the primary use of proceeds by the companies in which we invest will be for leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions and growth capital.
We will primarily hold secured loans, which encompass traditional first lien, uni-tranche and second lien loans, but may also invest in mezzanine, structured preferred stock andnon-control equityco-investment opportunities. We will seek to deliver attractive risk adjusted returns with lower volatility and low correlation relative to the public credit markets. The Adviser believes our flexibility to invest across the capital structure and liquidity spectrum will allow us to optimize investor risk-adjusted returns.
Expenses
Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were as follows:
Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, were $1,002,147, which consisted of $467,647 in organizational and offering expenses, $149,000 in directors’ fees, and $385,500 in professional fees.
Pursuant to the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, our Adviser provided expense support of $1,002,147, reducing our expenses to $0.00. See “Item 1. – Notes to Financial Statements – Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions – Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.”
Organization and Offering Costs
As of September 30, 2017, the Adviser and its affiliates have incurred or expect to incur organizational costs of approximately $467,000 and offering costs of approximately $236,000 on behalf of the Fund.
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, all of which are expensed as incurred. Offering costs include, among other things, legal fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of our private placement memorandum and other offering documents. Offering costs are being deferred and will be amortized on a straight line basis over aone-year period starting from September 29, 2017.
Pursuant to the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, our Adviser provided expense support of $467,000 and $236,000 for our organizational costs and offering costs, respectively, reducing our organizational costs and offering costs to $0.00. See “Item 1. – Notes to Financial Statements – Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions – Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.”
Operating Expenses
Under the Advisory Agreement, our primary operating expenses include the payment of fees to the Adviser our allocable portion of overhead expenses under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement (as defined below) and other operating costs described below. We bear all otherout-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including those relating to:
��
federal and state registration fees;
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect to generate cash primarily from (i) the net proceeds of the Private Offering, (ii) cash flows from our operations, (iii) any financing arrangements we may enter into in the future and (iv) any future offerings of our equity or debt securities. We may fund a portion of our investments through borrowings from banks, or other large global institutions such as insurance companies, and issuances of senior securities.
Our primary use of funds from a credit facility will be investments in portfolio companies, cash distributions to holders of our common stock and the payment of operating expenses.
In the future, we may also securitize or finance a portion of our investments with a special purpose vehicle. If we undertake a securitization transaction, we will consolidate our allocable portion of the debt of any securitization subsidiary on our financial statements, and include such debt in our calculation of the asset coverage test, if and to the extent required pursuant to the guidance of the staff of the SEC.
Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017, taken together with our uncalled Capital Commitments of $70,928,060, is expected to be sufficient for our investing activities and to conduct our operations in the near term. As of September 30, 2017, we had $25,000 in cash and cash equivalents. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we used no cash for operating activities, as the Fund had not yet begun investment activities.
Equity Activity
In connection with our formation, we have the authority to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock at a $0.01 per share par value.
On June 27, 2016, we issued 100 shares of our common stock to the Adviser, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000. On May 26, 2017, we issued 2,400 shares of our common stock to the Adviser, for an aggregate purchase price of $24,000. We have not had any other equity transactions as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we have not commenced operations.
We have entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Adviser in accordance with the 1940 Act. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for sourcing, reviewing and structuring investment opportunities for us, underwriting and conducting diligence on our investments and monitoring our investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. For these services, we will pay (i) a base management fee equal to a percentage of the average
outstanding assets of the Fund (which equals the gross value of equity and debt instruments, including investments made utilizing leverage), excluding cash and cash equivalents, during such fiscal quarter and (ii) an incentive fee based on our performance. The cost of both the base management fee and the incentive fee will ultimately be borne by our stockholders. We have entered into the Administration Agreement with the Administrator and a separate expense reimbursement agreement with the Adviser (the “Expense Reimbursement Agreement”) under which any allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs will be reimbursed by the Fund. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator will be responsible for providing us with clerical, bookkeeping, recordkeeping and other administrative services. We will reimburse the Adviser an amount equal to our allocable portion (subject to the review of our Board) of its overhead resulting from its obligations under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement, including the allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs. Stockholder approval is not required to amend the Administration Agreement or the Expense Reimbursement Agreement.
If any of the contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs under any new agreements that we enter into may increase. In addition, we would likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide the services we receive under the Advisory Agreement, the Administration Agreement and the Expense Reimbursement Agreement. Any new investment advisory agreement would also be subject to approval by our stockholders.
Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement
On September 29, 2017, the Fund and the Adviser entered into an agreement (the “Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement”) to limit certain of the Fund’s Operating Expenses, as defined in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, to no more than 1.5% of the Fund’s average quarterly gross assets. To achieve this percentage limitation, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain Operating Expenses on a quarterly basis (any such payment by the Adviser, an (“Expense Payment”) and the Fund has agreed to later repay such amounts (any such payment by the Fund, a “Reimbursement Payment”), pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement. The actual percentage of Operating Expenses paid by the Fund in any quarter after deducting any Expense Payment, as a percentage of the Fund’s average quarterly gross assets, is referred to as the “Percentage Limit”).
Any Expense Payment by the Adviser pursuant to the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement will be subject to repayment by the Fund on a quarterly basis within the three years following the fiscal quarter of the Fund in which the Operating Expenses were paid or absorbed, if the total Operating Expenses for the current quarter, including Reimbursement Payments, expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average gross assets during such quarter is less than the then-current Percentage Limit, if any, and the Percentage Limit that was in effect at the time when the Advisor reimbursed the Operating Expenses that are the subject of the repayment, subject to Sections 2(b) and 2(c) as applicable. For purposes of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, “Operating Expenses” means the Fund’s Total Operating Expenses (as defined below), excluding base management fees, incentive fees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, financing fees and costs, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses, and “Total Operating Expenses” means all of the Fund’s operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The calculation of average net assets will be consistent with such periodic calculations of average net assets in the Fund’s financial statements.
However, no Reimbursement Payment for any quarter will be made if: (1) the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share (as defined below) declared by the Fund at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is less than or equal to the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates, or (2) the Fund’s Operating Expense Ratio at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is greater than or equal to the Operating Expense Ratio (as defined below) at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates. For purposes of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, “Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share” means the annualized rate (based on a365-day year) of regular cash distributions per share exclusive of returns of capital, distribution rate reductions due to distribution and shareholderstockholder fees, and declared special dividends or special distributions, if any. The “Operating Expense Ratio” is calculated by dividing Operating Expenses in any quarter by the Fund’s average net assets in such quarter.
The specific amount of expenses paid by the Adviser, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. The Fund or the Adviser may terminate the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement at any time, with or without notice. The Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of (a) the termination of the InvestmentAmended and Restated Advisory Agreement, or (b) the Board of the Fund makesmaking a determination to dissolve or liquidate the Fund. Upon termination of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, the Fund will be required to fund any Expense Payments, subject to the aforementioned requirements per the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, that have not been reimbursed by the Fund to the Adviser.
As of March 31, 2021, the amount of Expense Payments provided by the Adviser since inception is $4,874,139. The following table reflects the Expense Payments that may be subject to reimbursement pursuant to the Expense Agreement:

The maximum commitment amount (the “HSBC Maximum Commitment”) under the HSBC Credit Facility was initially $30 million and may be increased in a minimum amount of $10 million and in $5 million increments thereof with the consent of HSBC or reduced upon request of the Fund. As of January 31, 2019, the Fund has increased the HSBC Maximum
Commitment to $50 million. So long as no request for borrowing is outstanding, the Fund may terminate the lenders’ commitments (the “Commitments”) or reduce the HSBC Maximum Commitment by giving prior irrevocable written notice to the HSBC Administrative Agent. Any reduction of the HSBC Maximum Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $10 million or multiples thereof; and in no event shall a reduction by the Fund reduce the Commitments to $35 million or less (in each case, except for a termination of all the Commitments). Proceeds under the HSBC Credit Agreement may be used for any purpose permitted under the Fund’s organizational documents, including general corporate purposes such as the making of investments. The HSBC Credit Agreement contains certain customary covenants and events of default, with customary cure and notice provisions. As of March 31, 2021, the Fund is in compliance with these covenants. The Fund’s obligations under the HSBC Credit Agreement are secured by the Capital Commitments and Capital Contributions (as defined below).
Borrowings under the HSBC Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Fund’s election at the time of drawdown, at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans (as defined in the HSBC Credit Agreement), Adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the HSBC Credit Agreement) for the applicable Interest Period (as defined in the HSBC Credit Agreement); and (ii) with respect to Reference Rate Loans (as defined in the HSBC Credit Agreement), the greatest of: (x) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by HSBC as its prime rate, (y) the rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers on such day, plus two hundred basis points (2.00%), provided that if such rate is not so published for any day that is a Business Day (as defined in the HSBC Credit Agreement), the average of the quotation for such day on such transactions received by the HSBC Administrative Agent, from three (3) Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by the HSBC Administrative Agent and, upon request of Borrowers (as defined in the HSBC Credit Agreement), with notice of such quotations to the Borrowers and (z) except during any period of time during which LIBOR is unavailable, one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus one hundred ninety basis points (1.90%). The Fund will also pay an unused commitment fee of 35 basis points (0.35%) on any unused commitments.
On November 10, 2020, the Fund entered into an amendment to the HSBC Credit Agreement (the “HSBC Credit Agreement Amendment”) concerning the HSBC Credit Facility. The HSBC Credit Agreement Amendment (i) extended the maturity date of the HSBC Credit Facility from November 11, 2020 to November 9, 2021, and (ii) inserted a provision permitting the Fund and the HSBC Administrative Agent to, upon the occurrence of certain conditions, amend the HSBC Credit Agreement to replace references to LIBOR with references to an alternate benchmark rate that may include a forward-looking rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate or another alternate benchmark rate subject to certain conditions. The Fund has an option to extend the maturity date for up to one additional term not longer than 364 days, subject to the following conditions: (i) each of the Lenders (as defined in the HSBC Credit Agreement) and the HSBC Administrative Agent consents to the extension in their sole discretion; (ii) the Fund has paid an extension fee to the HSBC Administrative Agent for the benefit of the extending Lenders consenting to such extension in an amount agreed to by the HSBC Administrative Agent and the Borrowers at the time of the extension and as set forth in the applicable extension request; (iii) no potential default or event of default has occurred and is continuing on the date on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (iv) or on November 9, 2021; and (iv) the Fund has delivered an extension request to the HSBC Administrative Agent not more than one hundred twenty (120) days or less than forty-five (45) days prior to November 9, 2021.

The Notes are scheduled to mature on August 9, 2030.
The CLO VI indenture provides that the holders of the CLO VI Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class B and Class C Notes are to receive quarterly interest payments, in arrears, on the 20th day in January, April, July and October of each year, commencing in August 2019.
The Notes are the secured obligations of the Co-Issuers, and the indenture governing the Notes includes customary covenants and events of default. The Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from registration.
The Adviser serves as collateral manager to the Issuer pursuant to a collateral management agreement between the Adviser and the Issuer (the “CLO Collateral Management Agreement”). For so long as the Adviser serves as collateral manager to the Issuer, the Adviser will elect to irrevocably waive any base management fee or subordinated interest to which it may be entitled under the CLO Collateral Management Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Fund incurred a collateral management fee of $454,343, which was voluntarily waived by the Adviser. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Fund incurred a collateral management fee of $459,059, which was voluntarily waived by the Adviser.
Secured Borrowings
From time to time, the Fund may engage in sale/buy-back agreements, which are a type of secured borrowing. The amount, interest rate and terms of these agreements will be individually negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Each borrowing is secured by an interest in an underlying asset which is participated or assigned to the sale/buy-back counterparty for the duration of the agreement.
On September 29, 2020, the Fund entered into a sale/buy-back agreement with Macquarie US Trading LLC (“Macquarie”), and pursuant to the agreement, the Fund assigned certain assets to Macquarie, with a corresponding repurchase obligation at an agreed-upon price within 30 days after the sale date (the “Macquarie Sale/Buy-Back”). The Macquarie Sale/Buy-Back had a funding cost of 1.25 bps per day and was not subject to any additional fees. On January 14, 2021, the Fund repurchased the assets it assigned to Macquarie pursuant to the Macquarie Sale/Buy-Back. As of March 31, 2021, Secured Borrowings pursuant to the Macquarie Sale/Buy-Back were $0. As of December 31, 2020, Secured Borrowings pursuant to the Macquarie Sale/Buy-Back were $18,870,856, with a maturity of less than thirty days. Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs on Secured Borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $30,665 and $15,421, respectively.
There were no Secured Borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

5. Fair Value Measurement
In accordance with ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability as of the reporting date.
Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments at the reporting date).
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. If a fair value measurement uses price data vendors or observable market price quotations, that measurement is a Level 2 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.
The determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Fund. The Fund considers observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.
Valuation of Investments
Investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board, based on input of management, the audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing twelve-month period under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. This valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter.
The fair values of loan investments based upon pricing data vendors or observable market price quotations are generally categorized as Level 2; however, those priced using models with significant unobservable inputs are categorized as Level 3.
In determining the fair value of the Fund’s Level 3 debt and equity positions, the Adviser uses the following factors where relevant: loan to value (“LTV”) based on an enterprise value determined using the original purchase price, public equity comparable, recent M&A transaction, and a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis, and yields from comparable loans, comparable high yield bonds, high yield indexes and loan indexes (“comparable yields”).
Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, however, estimated fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market for the securities existed and the differences could be material.

Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide a variety of general indemnifications. Any exposure to the Fund under these arrangements could involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. Currently, no such claims exist or are expected to arise and, accordingly, the Fund has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.
7. Net Assets
Equity Issuance
In connection with its formation, the Fund has the authority to issue 200,000,000 Shares.
On September 29, 2017, the Fund completed its Initial Closing after entering into Subscription Agreements with several investors, including the Adviser, providing for the private placement of Shares. Under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, investors are required to fund drawdowns to purchase Shares up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments on an as-needed basis upon the issuance of a capital draw-down notice. At March 31, 2021 the Fund had total Capital Commitments of $456,870,158, of which 44% is unfunded. At December 31, 2020 the Fund had total Capital Commitments of $447,843,050, of which 52% was unfunded. The minimum Capital Commitment of an investor is $50,000. The Adviser, however, may waive the minimum Capital Commitment at its discretion.
Capital Commitments may be drawn down by the Fund on a pro rata basis, as needed (including for follow-on investments), for paying the Fund’s expenses, including fees under the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, and/or maintaining a reserve account for the payment of future expenses or liabilities.
The following table summarizes the total Shares issued and amount received related to capital drawdowns delivered pursuant to the Subscription Agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020:

Distribution Reinvestment Plan
On September 26, 2017, the Fund adopted a dividend reinvestment plan, which was amended and restated on August 6, 2018 (the “DRIP”). Pursuant to the DRIP (both before and after it was amended), stockholders receive dividends or other distributions in cash unless a stockholder elects to reinvest his or her dividends and other distributions. As a result of adopting the DRIP, if the Board authorizes, and the Fund declares, a cash dividend or distribution, stockholders who have opted into the DRIP will have their cash dividends or distributions automatically reinvested in additional Shares, rather than receiving cash.
The following tables summarize Shares distributed pursuant to the DRIP during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 to stockholders who opted into the DRIP:

General Tender Program
Beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Fund began to conduct quarterly general tender offers (each, a “General Tender,” and collectively, the “General Tender Program”), at the Board’s discretion, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act and the 1940 Act, to allow each of its stockholders to tender Shares at a specific per Share price (the “Purchase Price”) based on the Fund’s net asset value as of the last date of the quarter in which the General Tender is conducted. The Fund intends to conduct each General Tender on approximately 2.5% of the weighted average of the number of Shares outstanding during the three-month period prior to the quarter in which the General Tender is conducted. The General Tender Program includes numerous restrictions that limit stockholders’ ability to sell their Shares.
On February 26, 2021, the Fund commenced a General Tender (the “Q1 2021 Tender Offer”) for up to 502,190.45 Shares (the “Q1 2021 Tender Offer Cap”) tendered prior to March 31, 2021 (the “Initial Expiration Date”). As a result of the number of Shares tendered to the Fund prior to the Initial Expiration Date, the Fund extended the Q1 2021 Tender Offer and increased the Q1 2021 Tender Offer Cap to 2,083,220 Shares. Stockholders who tendered Shares in the Q1 2021 Tender Offer received, at the expiration of the Q1 2021 Tender Offer, a non-interest bearing, non-transferable promissory note entitling such stockholders to an amount in cash equal to the number of Shares accepted for purchase multiplied by the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the Q1 2021 Tender Offer was $9.43 per Share and the Q1 2021 Tender Offer expired on April 16, 2021. The following table summarizes Shares purchased during the Q1 2021 Tender Offer:

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Fund, its current and prospective portfolio investments, its industry, its beliefs and opinions, and its assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “potential,” “predicts” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the Fund’s control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:
an economic downturn could impair the Fund’s portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of the Fund’s investments in such portfolio companies;
such an economic downturn could disproportionately impact the companies that the Fund intends to target for investment, potentially causing the Fund to experience a decrease in investment opportunities and diminished demand for capital from these companies;
pandemics or other serious public health events, such as the recent global outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus, commonly known as “COVID-19”;
a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair the Fund’s lending and investment activities;
interest rate volatility could adversely affect the Fund’s results, particularly if the Fund elects to use leverage as part of its investment strategy;
the Fund’s future operating results;
the Fund’s business prospects and the prospects of its portfolio companies;
the Fund’s contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
the ability of the Fund’s portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
competition with other entities and the Fund’s affiliates for investment opportunities;
the speculative and illiquid nature of the Fund’s investments;
the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of the Fund’s investments;
the adequacy of the Fund’s financing sources and working capital;
the loss of key personnel;
the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of the Fund’s portfolio companies;
the ability of the Adviser to locate suitable investments for the Fund and to monitor and administer the Fund’s investments;
the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain highly talented professionals;
the Fund’s ability to qualify and maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and as a business development company (“BDC”);
the effect of legal, tax and regulatory changes; and
the other risks, uncertainties and other factors the Fund identifies under “Risk Factors” of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
Although the Fund believes that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this report should not be regarded as a representation by the Fund that its plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include
those described or identified in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and elsewhere in this report. These forward-looking statements apply only as of the date of this report. Moreover, the Fund assumes no duty and does not undertake to update the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements and projections contained in this Quarterly Report are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because the Fund is an investment company.
The following analysis of the Fund’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
The Fund was formed on February 6, 2015 as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Fund is structured as an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund was formed to invest primarily in primary-issue middle-market credit opportunities that are directly sourced and privately negotiated. The Fund commenced investment operations on November 15, 2017 (“Commencement”) by issuing its first Capital Call (as defined below) on December 1, 2017. The Fund is advised by AB Private Credit Investors LLC (the “Adviser”), which is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Adviser is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments and monitoring the Fund’s portfolio on an ongoing basis. State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Administrator”) provides the administrative services necessary for the Fund to operate.
The Fund has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Fund has also elected to be treated and intends to qualify annually as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a BDC and a RIC, respectively, the Fund is and will be required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of its assets in “qualifying assets,” source of income limitations, asset diversification requirements, and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of its taxable income and tax exempt interest.
The Fund is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The Fund will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years following its initial public offering, if any, although if the market value of its common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, the Fund would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. For so long as the Fund remains an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, it will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.
Effects of COVID-19 on the Fund’s Results of Operations
The rapid spread of COVID-19, a novel strain of coronavirus causing respiratory illness (“COVID-19”) has resulted in temporary closures of many corporate offices, retail stores, and manufacturing facilities and factories around the world, which could materially disrupt the demand for the Fund’s portfolio companies’ products and services. The World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and the WHO and governments have recommended, and in some cases, mandated, containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the U.S. economy and supply chains worldwide have been interrupted, slowed or rendered inoperable, with an increasing number of individuals becoming ill, subject to quarantine, or otherwise unable to work and/or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions. Governmental mandates to control an outbreak may require forced shutdown of the Fund’s portfolio companies’ facilities for extended or indefinite periods. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the financial performance of the Fund’s current and future investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the virus, related advisories and restrictions, and the health of the financial markets and economy as a result of COVID-19, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Adverse impacts on the Fund’s investments may have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s future net investment income, the fair value of the Fund’s portfolio investments, the Fund’s financial condition and results of operations and the financial condition of the Fund’s portfolio companies.
As of March 31, 2021, the Fund was in compliance with its asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act. In addition, the Fund was not in default of any of the covenants under the Revolving Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2021. However, any increase in unrealized depreciation of the Fund’s investment portfolio or further significant reductions in the Fund’s net asset value as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise may increase the risk of breaching the relevant covenants and requirements.
The Fund will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and guidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities, and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. Given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Fund cannot reasonably estimate the impact of COVID-19 on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future.
The Private Offering
The Fund enters into separate subscription agreements with investors providing for the private placement of Shares in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Each investor makes a capital commitment (a “Capital Commitment”) to purchase Shares pursuant to a subscription agreement. Investors are required to make capital contributions (“Capital Contributions”) to purchase Shares each time the Fund delivers a capital call notice (a “Capital Call”), which is issued based on the Fund’s anticipated investment activities and capital needs, delivered at least 10 business days prior to the required funding date, provided that investors may fund such requirements sooner than the deadline as agreed between the Fund and the investor. Generally, purchases of Shares are made pro rata in accordance with each investor’s Capital Commitment, in an amount not to exceed each investor’s remaining capital commitment (“Remaining Commitment”), at a per-Share price equal to the net asset value per Share subject to any adjustments. Pursuant to the Private Offering, the Fund’s initial closing of Capital Commitments occurred on September 30,29, 2017.
The Fund may accept additional Capital Commitments quarterly (“Subsequent Closings”) from new investors as well as existing investors that wish to increase their commitment and shareholding in the Fund. These Subsequent Closings are expected to occur on a calendar-quarter end based on investor interest as well as the state of the market and the Fund’s capacity to invest the additional capital in a reasonable period. Each Capital Commitment is for the life of the Fund or for a shorter period based on the investor’s liquidation election, subject to the Fund’s receipt of exemptive relief that would permit stockholders to liquidate their investments pursuant to transactions that are currently prohibited by the 1940 Act and would require an SEC order in order to be established.
Revenues
The Fund’s investment objective is to generate current income and prioritize capital preservation through a portfolio that primarily invests in directly-sourced, privately-negotiated, secured, middle market loans. The Fund intends to primarily invest in middle market businesses based in the United States. The Fund expects that the primary use of proceeds by the companies in which the Fund invests will be for leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions and growth capital.
The Fund will seek to build its portfolio in a defensive manner that minimizes cyclical and correlated risks across individual names and sector verticals by targeting companies with strong underlying business models and durable intrinsic value.
The Fund will primarily hold secured loans, which encompass traditional first lien, unitranche and second lien loans, but may also invest in mezzanine, structured preferred stock and non-control equity co-investment opportunities. The Fund will seek to deliver attractive risk adjusted returns with lower volatility and low correlation relative to the public credit markets. The Adviser believes the Fund’s flexibility to invest across the capital structure and liquidity spectrum will allow the Fund to optimize investor risk-adjusted returns.
Expenses
Under the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, the Fund’s primary operating expenses will include the payment of fees to the Adviser, the Fund’s allocable portion of overhead expenses under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement and other operating costs described below. The Fund bears all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Fund’s operations and transactions, including those relating to:
reasonable and documented organization and offering expenses to the extent reimbursement of such expenses is included in any future agreement with the Adviser;
calculating the Fund’s net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm);
fees and expenses payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisers, in connection with monitoring financial (including advising with respect to the Fund’s financing strategy) and legal affairs for the Fund and in providing administrative services, monitoring the Fund’s investments and performing due diligence on the Fund’s prospective portfolio companies or otherwise relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments;
interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance the Fund’s investments;
sales and purchases of the Fund’s common stock and other securities;
base management fees and incentive fees payable to the Adviser;
transfer agent and custodial fees;
federal and state registration fees;
all costs of registration and listing the Fund’s securities on any securities exchange;
U.S. federal, state and local taxes;
independent directors’ fees and expenses;
costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents required by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or other regulators;
costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to stockholders, including printing costs;
the Fund’s allocable portion of any fidelity bond, directors’ and officers’ errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;
direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone, copying, secretarial and other staff, independent auditors and outside legal costs; and
all other expenses incurred by the Fund, the Administrator or the Adviser in connection with administering the Fund’s business, including payments under the Administration Agreement and payments under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the Adviser’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement, including the allocable portion of the cost of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs.

Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Fund otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Fund will place the loan on non-accrual status and will cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Fund generally restores non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the management’s judgment, is likely to remain current.

The federal income tax characterization of distributions declared and paid for the fiscal year will be determined at fiscal year-end based upon the Fund’s investment company taxable income for the full fiscal year and distributions paid during the full year. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Fund distributed $4,358,022 to stockholders, all of which was attributable to ordinary income. The character of distributions for federal income tax purposes are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is only ordinary income or gains.
To the extent the Fund’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount of its distributions paid for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to the Fund’s stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, the source of a distribution to stockholders may be the original capital invested by the stockholder rather than the Fund’s income or gains.

The Fund intends to conduct each General Tender on approximately 2.5% of the weighted average of the number of Shares outstanding during the three-month period prior to the quarter in which the General Tender is conducted.

Asset Coverage
In accordance with the 1940 Act, the Fund has historically only been allowed to borrow amounts such that its “asset coverage,” as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing, permitting the Fund to borrow up to one dollar for investment purposes for every one dollar of investor equity. “Asset coverage” generally refers to a company’s total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by “senior securities,” as defined in the 1940 Act, divided by total senior securities representing indebtedness and, if applicable, preferred stock. “Senior securities” for this purpose includes borrowings from banks or other lenders, debt securities and preferred stock.
On March 23, 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCAA”) was signed into law. The SBCAA, among other things, modifies the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act to reduce the required asset coverage ratio applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% subject to certain approval, time and disclosure requirements (including either stockholder approval or approval of a majority of the directors who are not interested persons of the BDC and who have no financial interest in the proposal). On July 5, 2018, the Board voted to approve the adoption of the reduced asset coverage ratio and separately recommended that Investors approve the reduced asset coverage requirements at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. On September 26, 2018, at the Fund’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, the Fund’s stockholders approved the reduction of the required minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to the Fund from 200% to 150%, which took effect on September 27, 2018. This reduction in the required minimum asset coverage ratio increases the amount of debt that the Fund is permitted to incur, permitting the Fund to borrow up to two dollars for investment purposes for every one dollar of investor equity.
As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Fund had total senior securities of $361,112,948 and $360,908,354, respectively, consisting of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities and Notes, and had asset coverage ratios of 170% and 162%, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
Valuation of Investments
We measureThe Fund measures the value of ourits investments at fair value accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or “ASC Topic 820,” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”).or “FASB.” 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.
The audit committee of ourthe Board (the “Audit Committee’Committee”) is also responsible for assisting ourthe Board in valuing investments that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, ourthe Board, with the assistance of the Adviser and its senior investment team and independent valuation firms, is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value in accordance with the valuation policy approved by ourthe Board. If more than one valuation method is used to measure fair value, the results are evaluated and weighted, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results. We considerThe Fund considers a range of fair values based upon the valuation techniques utilized and selectselects the value within that range that was most representative of fair value based on current market conditions as well as other factors the Adviser’s senior investment team considers relevant.
Our Board will make this fair value determination on a quarterly basis and any other time when a decision regarding the fair value of the portfolio investments is required. A determination of fair value involves subjective
judgments and estimates and depends on the facts and circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.
ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below:
Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.investments.
Level 2—Valuations are based on2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable.similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models incorporating significant– Significant unobservable inputs such as discounted cash flow models and other similar valuations techniques. The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities generally requires significant management judgment due to(including the inability to observe inputs to valuation.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels ofFund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’sof investments at the reporting date).
The level withinin the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is basedcategorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. The assessment ofIf a fair value measurement uses price data vendors or observable market price quotations, that measurement is a Level 2 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considersconsidering factors specific to the investment.asset or liability.
Under ASC Topic 820,
The determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the fair value measurement also assumesFund. The Fund considers observable data to be that the transaction to sell an asset occursmarket data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset, which may be a hypothetical market, and excludes transaction costs. The principal market for any asset is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for such asset in which the reporting entity would or could sell or transfer the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under ASC Topic 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to such market as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact.relevant market.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our Board will undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation for all fair value investments and interests, the Board’s determination of fair value may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed, or that could have been (or will be) realized in an actual sale, and such differences could be material.
The value of any investment on any valuation date is intended to represent the fair value of such investment on such date based upon the amount at which the investment could be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale, and reflects the Board’s determination of fair value using the methodology described herein. Any valuation of an investment may not reflect the actual amount received by the Fund upon the liquidation of such investment.
OurThe Fund’s investments will be primarily loans made to middle-market companies. These investments are mostly considered Level 3 assets under ASC Topic 820 because there is not usually a known or accessible market or market indices for these types of debt instruments and, thus, the Adviser’s senior investment team must estimate the fair value of these investment securities based on models utilizing unobservable inputs.
SecurityInvestment Transactions, Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses, and Income Recognition
SecurityInvestment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. We measureThe Fund measures realized gains or losses from the repayment or sale of investments using the specific identificationidentified cost method. The amortized cost basis of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts and premiums and upfront loan origination fees. We reportThe Fund reports changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the consolidated statement of operations.
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that we expectthe Fund expects to collect such amounts. Original issue discount, principally representingInterest income on debt instruments is accrued and recognized for those issuers who are currently paying in full or expected to pay in full. For those issuers who are in default or expected to default, interest is not accrued and is only recognized when received. Interest or dividend payments received on these non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Nonaccrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest or dividends are paid and, in management’s judgment, principal and interest or dividend payments are likely to remain current. The Fund may make exceptions to this treatment if an investment has sufficient collateral value and is in the estimated fair valueprocess of detachable equity or warrants obtainedcollection. Interest income and expense include discounts accreted and premiums amortized on certain debt instruments as determined in conjunction with our debt investments,good faith by the Adviser and market discount or premium are capitalized and accreted or amortized into interest income over the life of the respective securitycalculated using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, received in connection withoriginal issue discounts and market discounts or premiums are capitalized as part of the closing of investments are reported as unearned income which is included as amortizedunderlying cost of the investment; the unearned income from such fees isinvestments and accreted or amortized over the contractual life of the loan based on the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties, unamortized loan origination fees, and unamortized market discounts are recordedinvestment as interest income.
Management and Incentive Fees
WeThe Fund will accrue for the base management fee and incentive fee. The accrual for the incentive fee includes the recognition of the incentive fee on unrealized capital gains, even though such incentive fee is neither earned nor payable to the Adviser until the gains are both realized and in excess of unrealized depreciation on investments. The amount of capital gains incentive fee expense related to the hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to the Adviser in the event of a complete liquidation of the Fund’s portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement on such date. Also, it should be noted that the capital gains incentive fee expense fluctuates with the Fund’s overall investment results.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures |
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had not commenced investment activities.
When investing commences, we will beThe Fund is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. To the extent that we borrowthe Fund borrows money to make investments, ourthe Fund’s net investment income will beis dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrowthe Fund borrows funds and the rate at which we investthe Fund invests these funds. In periods of rising interest rates, ourthe Fund’s cost of funds would increase, which may reduce ourthe Fund’s net investment income. Because we expectthe Fund expects that most of ourits investments will bear interest at floating rates, we anticipatethe Fund anticipates that an increase in interest rates would have a corresponding increase in ourthe Fund’s interest income that would likely offset any increase in ourthe Fund’s cost of funds and, thus, net investment income would not be reduced. However, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have an adverse effect on ourthe Fund’s net investment income. In addition, U.S. and global capital markets and credit markets have experienced a higher level of stress due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in an increase in the level of volatility across such markets and a general decline in the value of the securities held by the Fund.
The Fund will generally invest in illiquid loans and securities including debt and equity securities of middle-market companies. Because the Fund expects that there will not be a readily available market for many of the investments in the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund expects to value many of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board using a documented valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s 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.
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have reduced certain interest rates and LIBOR has decreased. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce the Fund’s gross investment income and could result in a decrease in the Fund’s net investment income if such decreases in LIBOR are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over LIBOR that the Fund earns on any portfolio investments, a decrease in the Fund’s operating expenses, including with respect to the Fund’s income incentive fee, or a decrease in the interest rate of the Fund’s floating interest rate liabilities tied to LIBOR.
Assuming that the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2021, were to remain constant and that the Fund took no actions to alter its existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.
Change in Interest Rates | Increase (Decrease) in Interest Income | Increase (Decrease) in Interest Expense | Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Investment Income | |||||||||

In addition, although we dothe Fund does not currently intend to make investments that are denominated in a foreign currency, to the extent we do, weit does, the Fund will be subject to risks associated with changes in currency exchange rates. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved.
WeThe Fund may hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate usthe Fund against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit ourthe Fund’s ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to ourthe Fund’s portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
As of the end of the period covered by this report, wethe Fund carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of ourthe Fund’s management, including our Presidentthe Fund’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of ourthe Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule13a-1513a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Presidentthe Fund’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that ourthe Fund’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to usthe Fund that is required to be disclosed by usthe Fund in the reports we fileit files or submitsubmits under the Exchange Act.
There have been no changes in ourthe Fund’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during ourthe Fund’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ourthe Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
We areThe Fund is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to ourthe Fund’s knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us.the Fund. From time to time, wethe Fund may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of ourthe Fund’s rights under contracts with ourits portfolio companies. OurThe Fund’s business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us.the Fund. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we dothe Fund does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon ourits financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
As of September 30, 2017,In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which could materially affect the Fund’s business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks the Fund faces. Additional risks and uncertainties are not currently known to the Fund or that the Fund currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Fund’s business, financial condition and/or operating results. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in ourthe Fund’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020 except for the following.
The Small Business Credit Availability Act allows the Fund to incur additional leverage, which may increase the risk of investing with the Fund.
On March 23, 2018, the SBCAA was signed into law. The SBCAA, among other things, modifies the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act to reduce the required asset coverage ratio applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% subject to certain approval, time and disclosure requirements (including either stockholder approval or approval of a majority of the directors who are not interested persons of the BDC and who have no financial interest in the proposal). On July 5, 2018, the Board voted to approve the adoption of the reduced asset coverage ratio and separately recommended that Investors approve the reduced asset coverage requirements at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. On September 26, 2018, the Fund’s stockholders voted to approve the adoption of the reduced asset coverage ratio, effective September 27, 2018.
Increased leverage could increase the risks associated with investing in the Fund. For example, if the value of the Fund’s assets decreases, although the asset base and expected revenues would be larger because increased leverage would permit the Fund to acquire additional assets, leverage will cause the Fund’s net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have without leverage or with lower leverage. Similarly, any decrease in the Fund’s revenue would cause its net income to decline more sharply, on a relative basis, than it would have if the Fund had not borrowed or had borrowed less (although, as noted above, the Fund’s asset base and expected revenues would likely be larger). However, since the Fund already uses leverage in optimizing its investment portfolio, there are no material new risks associated with increased leverage other than the amount of the leverage.
If the Fund’s asset coverage ratio falls below the required limit, the Fund will not be able to incur additional debt until it is able to comply with the asset coverage ratio. This could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s operations, and the Fund may not be able to make distributions to stockholders. The actual amount of leverage that the Fund employs will depend on the Board’s and the Adviser’s assessment of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. The Fund currently anticipates being able to obtain sufficient credit on acceptable terms, although the Fund can make no assurance that this will be the case or that it will remain such in the future.
The following table illustrates the effect of leverage on returns from an investment in Shares assuming that the Fund employs leverage such that the Fund’s asset coverage equals (1) the Fund’s actual asset coverage as of March 31, 2021 and (2) 150%, each at various annual returns, net of expenses and as of March 31, 2021.
The calculations in the tables below are hypothetical, and are provided for illustrative purposes only. Actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing below.
