(1)

The actual date that the estimated Expense Payment is eligible for reimbursement will be determined when such Expense Payment is actually made by the Adviser.

(1)

The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.

(2)

The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions paid during the period.

(3)

Total return based on net asset value is calculated as the change in net asset value per share during the period, assuming dividends and distributions, if any, are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan divided by the beginning net asset value per share. Total return is not annualized.

(4)

The computation of average net assets during the period is based on averaging net assets for the period reported. Ratio, excluding incentive fees, and nonrecurring expenses, such as organization and offering costs, is annualized.

(5)

Asset coverage per unit is the ratio of the carrying value of the Company’s consolidated total assets, less liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness. Asset coverage per unit is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per $1,000 of indebtedness and is calculated on a consolidated basis.

(6)

The amount shown at this caption is the balancing figure derived from the other figures in the schedule. The amount shown at this caption is derived from total change in net asset value during the period and differs from the amount calculated using average shares because of the timing of issuances of the Company’s shares in relation to changes in net asset value during the period.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This ~~quarterly~~ report on Form10-Q (the ~~“quarterly report”~~“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 BC Partners Lending Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs and opinions, and our 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 our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:

•

an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies;

•

such an economic downturn could disproportionately impact the companies which we intend to target for investment, potentially causing us to experience a decrease in investment opportunities and diminished demand for capital from these companies;

•

such an economic downturn could also impact availability and pricing of our financing;

•

economic and political stability in the United States and international markets;

•

a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our lending and investment activities;

•

interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly if we elect to use leverage as part of our investment strategy;

•

currency fluctuations could adversely affect the results of our investments in foreign companies, particularly to the extent that we receive payments denominated in foreign currency rather than U.S. dollars;

•

the extent to which the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and measures taken in response thereto impact our business, portfolio companies, results of operations and financial condition;

•

an economic downturn, including, as a result of the impact of COVID-19, could have a material adverse effect on our portfolio companies’ results of operations and financial condition, which could lead to a loss on some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies and have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition;

•

our future operating results;

•

our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

•

our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

•

the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;

•

competition with other entities and our affiliates for investment opportunities;

•

the speculative and illiquid nature of our investments;

•

the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments as well as any estimates regarding potential use of leverage;

•

the adequacy of our financing sources and working capital;

•

the loss of key personnel;

•

the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies;

•

the ability of BC Partners Advisors L.P. (the “Adviser”) to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;

•

the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain highly talented professionals;

•

actual and potential conflicts of interest with the Adviser and its affiliates;

•

our ability to qualify and maintain our 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;~~changes on us and

our portfolio companies; and

•

other risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify elsewhere in this ~~quarterly report~~Quarterly Report and under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our ~~registration statement~~Annual Report on Form 1010-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on ~~February 22, 2018, as amended, as updated by~~March 14, 2022 and under “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our ~~subsequent periodic filings~~Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the ~~SEC.~~

SEC on May 10, 2022 and August 11, 2022.

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this quarterly report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These forward-looking statements apply only as of the date of this quarterly report. Moreover, we assume no duty and do not undertake to update the forward-looking statements. Because we are an investment company, 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 (the “1934 Act”).

(1)
All of the Company's investments are issued by eligible portfolio companies, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), unless otherwise noted. All of the Company's investments are issued by U.S. portfolio companies unless otherwise noted.
(2)
All investments are non-controlled/non-affiliated investments as defined by the 1940 Act. The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments based on the level of control that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company.
(3)
Except as otherwise noted, certain of the Company’s portfolio company investments are subject to legal restrictions on sales.
(4)
Represents the actual interest rate for partially or fully funded debt in effect as of the reporting date. Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by the larger of the floor of the reference to either LIBOR ("L") or Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "S") or alternate base rate (commonly known as the U.S. Prime Rate ("P"), unless otherwise noted) at the borrower's option, which reset periodically based on the terms of the credit agreement. L loans are typically indexed to 12 month, 6 month, 3 month, 2 month, or 1 month L rates. As of September 30, 2022, rates for the 6 month, 3 month, and 1 month L are 4.23%, 3.75%, and 3.14%, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, rates for 3 months and 1 month S ("SOFR") are 3.59% and 3.04%.
(5)
Other than the investments noted by this footnote, the fair value of each of the Company’s investments is determined in good faith using significant unobservable inputs by the Adviser in its role as “valuation designee” in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to valuation policies and procedures that have been approved by the Company’s board of directors (the "Board").
(6)
Ownership of equity investments may occur through a holding company.
(7)
All or a portion of this commitment was unfunded at September 30, 2022.
(8)
Security, or a portion thereof, is held through Great Lakes BCPL Funding Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary and a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, and is pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding under the debt financing facility at Great Lakes BCPL Funding Ltd. (See Note 5 in the accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements).
(9)
Non-income producing investment.
(10)
The date disclosed represents the commitment period of the unfunded term loan.
(11)
The amortized cost represents the initial cost adjusted for the accretion of discount or amortization of premium, as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method.
(12)
As of September 30, 2022, the estimated cost basis of investments for U.S. federal tax purposes was $96,082, resulting in estimated gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of $1,096 and $(2,396), respectively.
(13)
Investments the Company has determined are not qualifying assets under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. The status of these assets under the 1940 Act is subject to change. The Company monitors the status of these assets on an ongoing basis. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of total assets. Non-qualifying assets represented 4.1% of total assets as of September 30, 2022.
(14)
This investment is in the subordinated note of the collateralized loan obligation security, which is entitled to recurring distributions that are generally equal to the excess cash flow generated from the underlying investments after payment of the contractual payments in debt holders and fund expenses. The current estimated yield, calculated using amortized cost, is based on the current projections of this excess cash flow taking into account assumptions made regarding expected prepayments, losses and future reinvestment rates. These assumptions are periodically reviewed and adjusted. Ultimately, the actual yield may be higher or lower than the estimated yield if actual results differ from those used for the assumptions.
(15)
Investment bears interest at 12% per year with such interest to be paid, at the election of the borrower in cash or paid-in kind (“PIK”) interest. To the extent that any portion of interest is in the form of PIK interest, the interest rate is increased to 13% with a minimum of 5% of the total interest in the form of cash interest (i.e., 5% cash interest and 8% PIK interest).
(16)
The Company may sell any of the referenced securities in whole or in part to any third-party prior to the settlement date of the forward contracts without consent of the counterparty. Upon such sale to a third-party, the Company and counterparty shall have no further obligations in respect of that specific amount of referenced security sold.
(17)
The negative cost is the result of the capitalized discount being greater than the principal amount outstanding on the loan. The negative fair value is the result of the capitalized discount on the loan.
(18)
Percentages are based on the net assets.

~~(Unaudited)~~(in thousands, except share and per share data, percentages and as otherwise indicated;

for example, with the word “million” or otherwise)

Note 1. Organization

BC Partners Lending Corporation (“BCPL” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation formed on December 22, 2017. The Company was formed primarily to invest in the U.S. middle-market credit sector. The Company’s investment objective is to make investments that generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation. The Company intends to invest primarily in private middle-market companies in the form of secured debt, unsecured debt, other debt and/or equity securities. In addition, to a lesser extent, the Company may invest in securities of public companies and in structured products. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Company ~~intends to elect~~has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and the Company will take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised accounting standards provided for emerging growth companies in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). ~~As of June 30, 2018,~~

The Company commenced operations on October 2, 2019.

On October 25, 2019, the Company formed a wholly-owned, special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, Great Lakes BCPL Funding Ltd. (“BCPL Funding”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, which holds certain of the Company’s portfolio loan investments that are used as collateral for the debt financing facility at BCPL Funding. On January 28, 2020, the Company formed a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, BCPL Sub Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which holds the Company’s equity investment.

The Company is ~~still devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced.~~

As of June 30, 2018, no investment or other operations other than the sale and issuance of 4,000 shares of common stock on April 10, 2018, at an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 ($25 per share) to BC Partners Investment Holdings Limited, an affiliate ofmanaged by BC Partners Advisors L.P. (the “Adviser”), ~~have occurred.~~

~~The Company is managed by the Adviser,~~ an affiliate of BC Partners ~~LLP. No management fees will be paid~~LLP (“BC Partners”). BC Partners Management LLC (the “Administrator”), also an affiliate of BC Partners, provides administrative services necessary for the Company to operate.

The Company conducts private offerings (each, a “Private Offering”) of its common stock to accredited investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. At the closing of each Private Offering, each investor makes a capital commitment (a “Capital Commitment”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into with the Company. Investors are required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock up to the ~~Adviser until commencement~~amount of ~~commercial activities.~~their respective Capital Commitment on an as-needed basis each time the Company delivers a drawdown notice to its investors. The Company’s initial Private Offering closed on September 26, 2019 (the “Initial Closing”).

In April 2020 the Company submitted to the SEC an application for exemptive relief intended, if granted, to provide investors with liquidity options with respect to their investments in shares of the Company’s common stock. In August 2022, the SEC Staff informed the Company that it did not intend to grant the Company's application at the current time, and the Company withdrew its application. For more information on the Company's application, refer to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022. The Company's board of directors (the "Board") continues to consider alternative means of liquidity for the Company's stockholders, including potentially listing the shares of the Company on a national securities exchange or commencing periodic repurchase or tender offers in the future (a "Liquidity Action").

The Company will wind down its operations within ten years after the after the Initial Closing Date, unless the Board and/or stockholders determine to take a Liquidity Action.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial ~~statement has~~statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”)~~. The Company’s financial statement and related financial information have been prepared~~ pursuant to the requirements for reporting onForm 10-Q and ~~Articles 6 and 10 of~~ Regulation~~S-X.~~ ~~Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete~~ S-X, as appropriate. The unaudited consolidated financial ~~statements. This~~statements (“consolidated financial ~~statement reflects~~statements”) reflect adjustments that in the opinion of the Company are necessary for the fair ~~statement~~presentation of the financial position and results of operations as of and for the ~~period~~periods presented ~~herein.~~herein and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC. The Company is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and therefore applies the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of ~~the statement of assets and liabilities~~consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the ~~statement of assets and liabilities.~~consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material.

~~Segments~~Consolidation

In accordance with U.S. GAAP guidance on consolidation, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a portfolio company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segments

In accordance with U.S. GAAP guidance on segment reporting, the Company has determined that its operations comprise ~~only~~ a single reporting segment.

Cash and Restricted Cash

Cash ~~Equivalents~~

~~Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities~~consists of ~~three months or less.~~deposits held at a custodian bank. Restricted cash consists of deposits pledged as collateral. Cash and restricted cash ~~equivalents~~ are held at major financial institutions and, at times, may exceed the insured limits under applicable law.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on investments are calculated using the specific identification method as the difference between the net proceeds received (excluding prepayment fees, if any) and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are recognized.

Investments for which market quotations are available are typically valued at those market quotations. To validate market quotations, the Company will utilize a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of the quotations.

Debt that is not publicly traded but for which there are external pricing sources available as of the valuation date is valued using independent broker-dealer, market maker quotations or independent pricing services. The valuation committee, comprised of members of the Adviser, (the “Valuation Committee”) subjects these quotes to various criteria including, but not limited to, the number and quality of quotes, the deviation among the quotes and information derived from analyzing the Company’s own transactions in such investments throughout the reporting period. Generally, such investments are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, unless the Valuation Committee determines that the quality, quantity or deviation among quotes warrants significant adjustment to the inputs utilized.

The Board has designated the Adviser as its "valuation designee" pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, and in that role the Adviser is responsible for performing fair value determinations relating to all of the Company's investments, including periodically assessing and managing any material valuation risks and establishing and applying fair value methodologies, in accordance with valuation policies and procedures that have been approved by the Board. The Board ultimately is responsible for fair value determinations under the 1940 Act and satisfies its responsibility through the oversight of the valuation designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5.

Investments that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available, as is expected to be the case for substantially all of the Company’s investments, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, based on, among other things, input of the Adviser and independent third-party valuation firm(s).

The Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process, which includes, among other procedures, the following:

•
The Company’s quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued using certain inputs, among others, provided by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with the Company’s portfolio management team. The Company utilizes an independent valuation firm to provide valuation on each material illiquid security at least once every trailing 12-month period;

•
Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with management of the Adviser and investment professionals; and

•
The Adviser will review the recommended valuations and determine the fair value of each investment. Valuations that are not based on readily available market quotations will be valued in good faith based on, among other things, where applicable, other third parties.

As part of the valuation process, the Adviser may consider other information and may use valuation methods including but not limited to (i) market quotes for similar investments, (ii) recent trading activity, (iii) discounting forecasted cash flows of the investment, (iv) models that consider the implied yields from comparable debt, (v) third party appraisal, (vi) sale negotiations and purchase offers received from independent parties and (vii) estimated value of underlying assets to be received in liquidation or restructuring.

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

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected herein.

Under existing accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. This accounting guidance emphasizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The Company classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy as defined by current accounting guidance:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible to the Company.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

Level 3: Significant inputs that are unobservable for an asset or liability.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Investments for which no external pricing sources are available as of the valuation date are included in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Forward Contracts

The Company may enter into forward purchase contracts primarily to manage credit risk. When entering into a forward purchase contract, the Company agrees to deliver a fixed quantity of securities for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Forward contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, the Company presents changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses of derivative instruments are included in the consolidated statements of operations. These instruments involve market risk, credit risk, or both kinds of risks. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and movements in fair value. The Company attempts to limit counterparty risk by only dealing with well-known counterparties.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt investments represents the original cost, including origination fees and upfront fees received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. The Company considers many factors relevant to an investment when placing it on or removing it from non-accrual status including, but not limited to, the delinquency status of the investment, economic and business conditions, the overall financial condition of the underlying investment, the value of the underlying collateral, bankruptcy status, if any, and any other facts or circumstances relevant to the investment. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability of the outstanding principal and interest. Non-accrual loans may be restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and are likely to remain current based on management’s judgment.

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

Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized, and the Company amortizes such amounts as interest income over the respective term of the loan or security. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees and original issue discount are recorded as interest income. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.

Payment-in-Kind Interest

Payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income and generally becomes due at maturity. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of distributions, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash.

Deferred Financing Costs

Origination and other expenses related to the Company’s borrowings are recorded as deferred financing costs and amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method over the stated life of the debt instrument. Unamortized deferred financing costs are presented as a direct deduction to the respective debt instrument.

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization costs include, among other things, the cost of incorporating, including the cost of legal services and other fees pertaining to the Company’s organization. Costs associated with the organization of the Company are expensed as incurred. Offering costs include, among other things, marketing expenses and printing, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other costs in connection with the Company’s offering of shares of its common stock, including the preparation of the Company’s registration statement, ~~on Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 22, 2018, as amended,~~ and salaries and direct expenses of the Adviser’s personnel, employees of its affiliates and others while engaged in such activities. Offering costs are capitalized as deferred offering expenses and are amortized over twelve months from incurrence.

Income Taxes

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

To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certainsource-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income” for that year, which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long-term capital losses. In order for the Company not to be subject to U.S. federal excise taxes, it must distribute annually an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for theone-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 Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year ~~dividends~~distributions and pay a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on this income.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are~~“more-likely-than-not”~~ “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the~~“more-likely-than-not”~~ “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to,on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax for uncertain tax positions is required in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal, New York State, and foreign jurisdictions where the Company makes significant investments. The Company’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Distributions to Common Stockholders

Distributions to the Company’s stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board and is generally based upon earnings estimated by the Adviser. Net realized capital gains, if any, would generally be distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains.

The Company has adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan (“DRP”) for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a cash distribution, its stockholders will have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, including fractional shares as necessary, unless they specifically “opt out” of the DRP to receive the distribution in cash. Under the DRP, cash distributions to participating stockholders will be reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to the net asset value per share as of the last day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date such distribution was declared.

The Company may distribute taxable distributions that are payable in cash or shares of its common stock at the election of each stockholder. Under certain applicable provisions of the Code and the Treasury regulations, distributions payable in cash or in shares of stock at the election of stockholders are treated as taxable distributions. The Internal Revenue Service has published guidance indicating that this rule will apply even where the total amount of cash that may be distributed is limited to no more than 20% of the total distribution. Under this guidance, if too many stockholders elect to receive their distributions in cash, the cash available for distribution must be allocated among the stockholders electing to receive cash (with the balance of the distribution paid in stock). If the Company decides to make any distributions consistent with this guidance that are payable in part in its stock, taxable stockholders receiving such distributions will be required to include the full amount of the distribution (whether received in cash, shares of the Company’s stock, or a combination thereof) as ordinary income (or as long-term capital gain to the extent such distribution is properly reported as a capital gain distribution) to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. stockholder may be required to pay tax with respect to such distributions in excess of any cash received. If a U.S. stockholder sells the stock it receives in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the distribution, depending on the market price of the Company’s stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. stockholders, the Company may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such distributions, including in respect of all or a portion of such distribution that is payable in stock.

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (ASU 2022-03). The accounting standard update clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions and measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements, but the impact of the adoption is not expected to be material.

Administration Agreement

On April 23, 2018, the Company entered into an Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with ~~BC Partners Management LLC (the “Administrator”), an affiliate of BC Partners LLP.~~the Administrator. Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator will perform (or oversee, or arrange for, the performance of) the administrative services necessary for the operation of the Company, which includes office facilities, equipment, bookkeeping and recordkeeping services and such other services as the Administrator, subject to review by the ~~board of directors (the “Board”),~~Board, shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Administration Agreement.

The Company will reimburse the Administrator for services performed under the terms of the Administration Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator may delegate its obligations under the Administration Agreement to affiliates or third-parties and the Company pays or reimburses the Administrator for certain expenses incurred by any such affiliates or third-parties for work done on its behalf.

The Administration Agreement ~~will be in effect for a period~~had an initial term of two years from ~~the~~its effective date ~~it first becomes effective~~ and will remain in effect fromyear-to-year thereafter if approved annually by (i) the vote of the Board, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Company’s Board who are not parties to the Administration Agreement or “interested persons” of the Company, of the Adviser or of any of their respective affiliates, as defined in the 1940 Act. The Administration Agreement was most recently approved on March 5, 2020. The Administration Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, upon 60 days’ written notice, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Company or by the vote of the Board or by the Administrator.

No person who is an officer, director or employee of the Adviser or its affiliates and who serves as a director of the Company receives any compensation from the Company for his or her services as a director. However, the Company reimburses the Administrator (or its affiliates) for an allocable portion of the compensation paid by the Administrator (or its affiliates) to the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs (based on a percentage of time such individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the business affairs of the Company).

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred administrative fees of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred administrative fees of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of ~~June~~September 30, ~~2018, no administrative fee has been incurred.~~2022, such amounts were partially offset against amounts due from the Adviser in connection with the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (the “Expense Support Agreement”), as described below.

Investment Advisory Agreement

~~BC Partners Lending Corporation~~

~~Notes to Financial Statement~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

On April 23, 2018, the Company entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement ~~(the~~with the Adviser which was amended and restated on November 7, 2018 and further amended on July 9, 2019 (as amended, the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) ~~with~~. On November 6, 2020, the ~~Adviser.~~Board unanimously approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for a period of twelve months. The amendments were each approved at the time by the Company’s sole stockholder. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will be responsible for managing the Company’s business and activities, including sourcing investment opportunities, conducting research, performing due diligence on potential investments, structuring its investments, monitoring its portfolio companies and ~~provide~~providing managerial assistance to portfolio companies.

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company will pay the Adviser a base management fee and may also pay to it certain incentive fees.

The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.00% (1.50% if an exchange listing occurs) of the Company’s average gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The management fee for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately prorated and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant month or quarter.

On August 20, 2019, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with the Adviser pursuant to which, for the period ended December 31, 2019, the Adviser waived 50% of the base management fee to be paid by the Company under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The waiver was prorated for any partial month or quarter. Management fees waived are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred management fees of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred management fees of $0.7 million, and $0.7 million net of waivers, respectively. As of ~~June~~September 30, ~~2018, no management fee has been incurred.~~2022, such amounts were partially offset against amounts due from the Adviser in connection with the Expense Support Agreement, as described below.

The incentive fee consists of two parts, as follows:

~~(i)~~

(i)

The first component, ~~payable at~~ the ~~end of each quarter in arrears, equals 100% of thepre-incentive~~ ~~fee net investment~~ income ~~in excess of a 1.50% quarterly preferred return but less than 1.76% the upper level breakpoint and 15% (17.50% if an exchange listing occurs) of the amount ofpre-incentive~~ ~~fee net investment income that exceeds 1.76% in any calendar quarter. For purposes of determining whetherpre-incentive~~ ~~fee net investment income exceeds the hurdle rate,pre-incentive~~ ~~fee net investment income is expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter.~~

~~(ii)~~

The second component, payable at the end of each calendar year in arrears, the capital gains incentive fee, equals 15.0% of cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of such calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fee for prior periods. The Company accrues, but does not pay, a capital gains incentive fee with respect to unrealized capital appreciation because a capital gains incentive fee would be owed to the Adviser if the Company were to sell the relevant investment and realize a capital gain.

~~As of June 30, 2018, no~~ incentive fee, ~~has been incurred.~~payable at the end of each quarter in arrears, equals 100% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of a 1.50% quarterly preferred return but less than 1.76% (1.818% if an exchange listing occurs), the upper level breakpoint, and 15% (17.50% if an exchange listing occurs) of the amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income that exceeds 1.76% (1.818% if an exchange listing occurs) in any calendar quarter. For purposes of determining whether pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds the hurdle rate, pre-incentive fee net investment income is expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter.

(ii)

The second component, the capital gains incentive fee, payable at the end of each calendar year in arrears, equals 15.0% of cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of such calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fee for prior periods. The Company accrues, but does not pay, a capital gains incentive fee with respect to unrealized capital appreciation because a capital gains incentive fee would be owed to the Adviser if the Company were to sell the relevant investment and realize a capital gain.

The Adviser and its affiliates have incurred organization and offering costs and operating expenses on behalf of the Company in the amount of approximately $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, from December 22, 2017 (inception) to ~~June 30, 2018. If receipt~~October 2, 2019 (commencement of ~~a formal commitment of external capital does not occur,~~operations). The Company will have no responsibility for any organization and offering costs, incurred will be borne by the Adviser. As there has been no formal commitment of external capital as of the date of issuance of this statement of assets and liabilities, no such costs have been recorded by the Company. All organization and offering costs, andnor operating expenses ~~will be~~ funded by the Adviser ~~and there will be no liability~~prior to the ~~Company~~commencement of operations until ~~the Company commences operations and when~~ the Adviser submits such costs, or a portion thereof, for reimbursement, subject to a cap of 1.50% of the Company’s total commitments for organization and offering costs and provided further that the Adviser or its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization and offering expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to the proposed reimbursement. For the period from October 2, 2019 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2022, the Company accrued organization and offering costs of $0.7 million and recognized operating expenses funded by the Advisor prior to the Company’s commencement of operations.

See Note 3 for a discussion of the Company’s conditional reimbursement to the Adviser under the Expense Support Agreement.

The Company may, from time to time, enter into commitments to fund investments. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had the following outstanding commitments to fund investments in current portfolio companies:

Overview

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on December 22, 2017. ~~As of June 30, 2018, we are still devoting substantially all of our efforts to establishing the business and our planned principal operations have not commenced.~~ We have elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and ~~intend to elect~~elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to qualify annually as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As such, we are required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of our assets in “qualifying assets,” source of income limitations, asset diversification requirements, and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of our investment company taxable income andtax-exempt interest. Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Under the relevant Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, the term “eligible portfolio company” includes most private companies, whose principal place of business is the United States, companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, and certain public companies that have listed their securities on a national securities exchange and have a market capitalization of less than $250 million. These rules also permit us to include as qualifying assets certain follow-on investments in companies that were eligible portfolio companies at the time of initial investment but that no longer meet the definition. In addition, we will not invest more than 30% of our total assets in companies whose principal place of business is outside the United States. The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and the Company is taking advantage of the extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised accounting standards provided for emerging growth companies in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Depending on the duration of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic and the extent of its impact on our portfolio companies’ operations and our net investment income, any future distributions to our stockholders may be for amounts less than our historical distributions, may be made less frequently than historical practices, and may be made in part cash and part stock, subject to a limitation that the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed to all stockholders must be at least 20% of the aggregate declared distribution, or 10% subject to temporary relief from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Our investment objective is to make investments that generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation. We ~~seek~~intend for our investments primarily to ~~achieve our investment objective primarily through~~take the form of debt investments, which may include secured debt, unsecured debt, other debt and/or equity in private middle-market companies (we define “middle-market companies” as those with annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) between $10 million and ~~$1 billion)~~$50 million). In addition, to a lesser extent, we may invest in the securities of public companies and in structured products. While our primary focus will be on investments within the United States, we may, on occasion, invest in securities ofnon-U.S. entities. The first lien term loans may include traditional first lien senior secured loans or unitranche loans. Unitranche loans combine characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured loans as well as second lien and/or mezzanine debt (“Junior Debt”). Unitranche loans will expose us to the risks associated with first lien loans and Junior Debt. While there is no specific collateral associated with senior unsecured debt, such positions are senior in payment priority over subordinated debt investments.

Our portfolio may include “covenant-lite” loans which generally refer to loans that do not have a complete set of financial maintenance covenants. Generally, “covenant-lite” loans provide borrower companies more freedom to negatively impact lenders because their covenants are incurrence-based, which means they are only tested and can only be breached following an affirmative action of the borrower, rather than by a deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition. Accordingly, to the extent we invest in “covenant-lite” loans, we may have fewer rights against a borrower and may have a greater risk of loss on such investments as compared to investments in or exposure to loans with financial maintenance covenants.

We are managed by BC Partners Advisors L.P. (the “Adviser”) and supervised by our board of directors (the “Board”), a majority of whom are not “interested persons” of the Company or the Adviser as defined in the 1940 Act. On April 23, 2018, we entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement which was amended and restated on November 7, 2018 and further amended on July 9, 2019 (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay the Adviser a base management fee based on average gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters and an incentive fee based on our performance. We engaged BC Partners Management LLC (the “Administrator”) to act as our administrator. On April 23, 2018, we entered into an Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator. Under the Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse the Administrator for certain services performed to enable us to operate.

On October 25, 2019, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Great Lakes BCPL Funding Ltd. (“BCPL Funding”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, which holds certain of our portfolio loan investments. On December 16, 2019, and amended on March 12, 2021, we, through BCPL Funding, entered into a debt financing facility, as amended on March 12, 2021, pursuant to which up to $75 million is available to us to fund investments and for other general corporate purposes (the “Facility”). See “—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources-Debt” below. On January 28, 2020, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, BCPL Sub Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which holds our equity investment.

Business Environment and Developments/Outlook

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a prolonged and negative impact on the global economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to and for an unknown period of time will continue to lead to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies affected thereby, including a recession and a steep increase in unemployment in the United States.

With respect to the U.S. credit markets (in particular for middle market loans), the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the following, among other things: (i) government imposition of various forms of shelter-in-place orders and the closing of ”non-essential” businesses, resulting in significant disruption to the businesses of many middle-market loan borrowers including supply chains, demand and practical aspects of their operations, as well as in lay-offs of employees, and, while these effects are hoped to be temporary, some effects could be persistent or even permanent; (ii) increased draws by borrowers on revolving lines of credit; (iii) increased requests by borrowers for amendments and waivers of their credit agreements to avoid default, increased defaults by such borrowers and/or increased difficulty in obtaining refinancing at the maturity dates of their loans; (iv) volatility and disruption of these markets including greater volatility in pricing and spreads and difficulty in valuing loans during periods of increased volatility, and liquidity issues; and (v) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general which will not necessarily adequately address the problems facing the loan market and middle market businesses.

Although the Federal Food and Drug Administration authorized vaccines beginning in December 2020, and a significant portion of the U.S. population have been vaccinated, it remains unclear when or if “herd immunity” will be achieved in the United States or internationally, particularly in light of the continunal emergence of new “variants” of COVID-19. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy and most other major global economies may continue to experience a recession, and we anticipate our business and operations could be materially adversely affected by a prolonged recession in the United States and other major markets.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, economic activity accelerated across sectors and regions. Nevertheless, due to global supply chain issues, a rise in energy prices and strong consumer demand as economies continued to reopen, inflation has accelerated in the U.S. and globally, resulting in a tightening of monetary policy in the U.S. Inflation is likely to continue in the near to medium-term. Certain of our portfolio companies may be impacted by inflation and persistent inflationary pressures could negatively affect our portfolio companies profit margins.

Geopolitical instability also continues to pose risk. In particular, the current U.S. political environment and the resulting uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in U.S. foreign investment, trade, taxation, economic, environmental and other policies under the current Administration, as well as the impact of geopolitical tension, such as a deterioration in the bilateral relationship between the U.S. and China or the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, could lead to disruption, instability and volatility in the global markets. Unfavorable economic conditions would be expected to increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. These events may limit our investment originations, and limit our ability to grow and could have a material negative impact on our operating results, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and the fair values of our debt and equity investments.

Certain of our portfolio companies may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargos imposed by the U.S. government, foreign governments, or the United Nations or other international organizations. In particular, on February 24, 2022, Russian troops began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and, as of the date hereof, the countries remain in active armed conflict. Around the same time, the U.S., the U.K., the E.U., and several other nations announced a broad array of new or expanded sanctions, export controls, and other measures against Russia, Russian-backed separatist regions in Ukraine, and certain banks, companies, government officials, and other individuals in Russia and Belarus, as well as a number of Russian Oligarchs. The U.S. or other countries could also institute broader sanctions on Russia and others supporting Russia’s economy or military efforts. The ongoing conflict and the rapidly evolving measures in response could be expected to have a negative impact on the economy and business activity globally (including in the countries in which the Company invests), and therefore could adversely affect the performance of the Company’s portfolio companies. The severity and duration of the conflict and its impact on global economic and market conditions are impossible to predict, and as a result, could present material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company and its portfolio companies and operations, and the ability of the Company to achieve its investment objectives. Similar risks will exist to the extent that any portfolio companies, service providers, vendors or certain other parties have material operations or assets in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, or the immediate surrounding areas. Sanctions could also result in Russia taking counter measures or retaliatory actions which could adversely impact our business or the business of our portfolio companies, including, but not limited to, cyberattacks targeting private companies, individuals or other infrastructure upon which our business and the business of our portfolio companies rely.

We are ~~currently~~required to carry our investments at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our Board. Decreases in fair values of our investments are recorded as unrealized depreciation. Depending on market conditions, we could incur substantial losses in future periods, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have had an increase in our net asset value per share since December 31, 2021 which is primarily the result of issuance of common shares and stock issued in connection with our dividend reinvestment plan (“DRP”).

We are permitted under the 1940 Act, as a BDC, to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the ~~development stage~~1940 Act, equals at least 150% after such borrowing. In addition, our outstanding borrowings contain affirmative and negative covenants and events of default relating to minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum obligors’ net worth, minimum asset coverage, minimum liquidity and maintenance of RIC and BDC status, as well as cross-default provisions relating to other indebtedness.

As of September 30, 2022, we are in compliance with our asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act and we are in compliance with all of the covenants pertaining to all of our borrowings. However, any continued increase in unrealized depreciation of our investment portfolio or further significant reductions in our net asset value as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, or otherwise, increases the risk of breaching the relevant covenants, including those relating to minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum obligor net worth, and minimum asset coverage. If we fail to satisfy the respective covenants in our borrowings, or are unable to cure any event of default or obtain a waiver from the lender, it could result in foreclosure by the lenders under the credit facility, which would accelerate our repayment obligations under the facility and thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

As of September 30, 2022, our Board approved the fair value of our investment portfolio in good faith in accordance with our valuation procedures, with input from the Adviser based on information available at the time of approval. We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic represents an extraordinary circumstance that has materially impacted the fair value of our investments. In addition, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the fair value of our portfolio investments may be further negatively impacted after September 30, 2022 by circumstances and events that are not ~~commenced investment or other operations since inception. On April 10, 2018, we issued and sold 4,000~~yet known.

Subscription Agreement

We are authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock at ~~an aggregate purchase price~~$0.001 par value per share.

We have entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with investors providing for the private placement of ~~$100,000 to BC Partners Investment Holdings Limited, an affiliate~~shares of our common stock. Under the terms of the ~~Adviser.~~Subscription Agreements, investors are required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of our common stock up to the amount of their respective capital commitment on an as-needed basis each time we deliver a drawdown notice to our investors with a minimum of 10 business days prior notice. Our initial private offering closed on September 26, 2019 (the “Initial Closing Date”).

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had received capital commitments totaling $46.5 million and $41.8 million, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we delivered the following capital call notices to investors:


Capital Drawdown Notice Date	Common Share Issuance Date	Number of Common Shares Issued		Aggregate Offering Price
March 16, 2022	March 30, 2022		91,677	$	2,280
April 19, 2022	May 6, 2022		16,000		400
June 17, 2022	July 1, 2022		103,821		2,500
Total			211,498	$	5,180

Liquidity

In April 2020 the Company submitted to the SEC an application for exemptive relief intended, if granted, to provide investors with liquidity options with respect to their investments in shares of the Company’s common stock. In August 2022, the SEC Staff informed the Company that it did not intend to grant the Company's application at the current time, and the Company withdrew its application. For more information on the Company's application, refer to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022. The Board continues to consider alternative means of liquidity for the Company's stockholders, including potentially listing the shares of the Company on a national securities exchange or commencing periodic repurchase or tender offers in the future (a "Liquidity Action").

The Company will wind down its operations within ten years after the after the Initial Closing Date, unless the Board and/or stockholders determine to take a Liquidity Action.

Our Investment Framework

We are a Maryland corporation organized to invest primarily in private middle-market companies in the form of secured debt, unsecured debt, other debt and/or equity securities. Our investment objective is to make investments that generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation. We define “middle-market companies” as those with EBITDA between $10 million and $50 million.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the average investment size in each of our portfolio companies was approximately $2.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, based on fair value.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations

~~Revenues~~Investments

~~As we are~~We focus primarily on the direct origination and syndication of loans to middle-market companies domiciled in the ~~development stage,~~United States.

Our level of investment activity (both the number of investments and the size of each investment) can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital generally available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we ~~did not earn any revenues during~~make.

In addition, as part of our risk strategy on investments, we may reduce certain levels of investments through partial sales or syndication to additional investors.

We may invest up to 30% of the ~~period from~~investment portfolio in “non-qualifying” opportunistic investments, including investments in high-yield bonds, debt and equity securities of collateralized loan obligation funds, foreign investments, joint ventures, managed funds, partnerships and distressed debt or debt and equity securities of large cap public companies. At September 30, 2022 and December ~~22, 2017 (inception) through June 30, 2018.~~31, 2021, the total amount of non-qualifying assets to total assets was approximately 4.1% and 4.0%, respectively.

Revenues

The principal measure of our financial performance ~~will be~~is net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income or loss, net realized gain or loss on investments, net realized gain or loss on foreign currency, net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, and net change in unrealized ~~gain~~appreciation or ~~loss~~depreciation on foreign currency. Net investment income or loss is the difference between our income from interest, ~~dividends,~~distributions, fees and other investment income and our operating and other expenses. Net realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost, including the respective realized gain or loss on foreign currency for ~~those foreign~~any non-U.S. dollar denominated investment transactions. Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency is the portion of realized gain or loss attributable to foreign currency fluctuations. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio, including the respective unrealized ~~gain~~appreciation or ~~loss~~depreciation on foreign currency for ~~those foreign~~any non-U.S. dollar denominated investments. Net change in unrealized ~~gain~~appreciation or ~~loss~~depreciation on foreign currency is the net change in the value of receivables or accruals due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

We ~~plan to~~principally generate revenues in the form of interest income on the debt investments we ~~anticipate holding.~~hold. Our debt investments typically have a term of three to ten years, and bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark, such as London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or an alternate base rate, such as the Prime Rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable quarterly or semi-annually. In addition, some of our investments may provide for PIK interest. Such amounts of accrued PIK interest are added to the cost of the investment on the respective capitalization dates and generally become due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. To a lesser extent, we may also generate revenues in the form of ~~dividends~~distributions and other distributions on the equity or other securities we anticipate holding. In addition, we may generate revenues in the form ofnon-recurring commitment, closing, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees, prepayment fees and performance-based fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments will be recognized when earned.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses ~~will be~~include the payment of management and incentive fees, if any, and other expenses under the Investment Advisory Agreement, interest expense from financing arrangements, and other expenses necessary for our operations. The management and incentive fees will compensate the Adviser for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. On August 20, 2019, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with the Adviser pursuant to which, for the period ending December 31, 2019, the Adviser waived 50% of the base management fee to be paid by the Company under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The waiver was prorated for any partial month or quarter. Management fees waived are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser.

We ~~will~~ reimburse the Administrator for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations, including the Adviser’s portion of the compensation and related expenses for certain personnel who provide administrative services. Such services include, among other things, clerical, bookkeeping and recordkeeping services, investor relations, performing or overseeing the performance of our corporate operations (which includes being responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintain and preparing reports for our stockholders and reports filed with the ~~Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”))~~SEC), assisting us in calculating the net asset value per share, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others.

We will also bear all other costs and expenses of our operations, administration and transactions, including but not limited to:

We are obligated to reimburse the Adviser for expense payments made by the Adviser to us in connection with the Expense Support Agreement following any calendar quarter in which we have available operating funds. The amount of the reimbursement payment for any calendar quarter will be equal to the lesser of (i) the excess operating funds in such calendar quarter, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all expense payments made by the Adviser to us within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter that have not been previously reimbursed by us to the Adviser.

In addition, we and our Administrator have contracted with U.S. Bank N.A. to provide custodial and various accounting and administrative services, including but not limited to, preparing preliminary financial information for review by the Adviser, maintaining accounting and corporate books and records, processing trade information provided by us and performing testing in respect to RIC compliance.

~~Portfolio~~We expect that our general and ~~Investment Activity~~administrative expenses will increase in dollar terms during periods of asset growth, but will decline as a percentage of total assets during such periods.

~~For the period from December 22, 2017 (inception) to June 30, 2018, we did not make or sell any investments.~~

Leverage

The amount of leverage we intend to use in any period depends on a number of factors, including cashon-hand available for investing, the cost of financing and general economic and market conditions. APrior to the Small Business Credit Availability Act being signed into law, a BDC generally iswas not permitted to incur indebtedness unless immediately after such borrowing it has an asset coverage for total borrowings of at least 200% ~~(i.e., a 1:1leverage-to-equity~~ ~~ratio)~~. The Small Business Credit Availability Act, signed into law on March 23, 2018, contains a provision that grants a BDC the option, subject to certain conditions and disclosure obligations, to reduce the asset coverage requirement to 150%. Our Board and initial stockholder have approved the decreased asset coverage ratio.

Investment Income

We generate revenue in the form of interest income on the debt securities that we own, distribution income on any common or preferred stock that we own, and fees generated from the structuring of new deals. Our investments in debt securities will typically have loan maturities of three to ten years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate.

As of September 30, 2022, our portfolio, based on fair value, consisted of 94.0% first-lien debt investments and 6.0% other investments. As of December 31, 2021, our portfolio, based on fair value, consisted of 94.8% first-lien debt investments and 5.2% other investments. As of September 30, 2022, we had investments in 40 portfolio companies, with an average investment size of approximately $2.3 million based on fair value. As of December 31, 2021, we had investments in 35 portfolio companies, with an average investment size of approximately $2.6 million based on fair value. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the largest single investment based on fair value represented 5.3% and 4.7%, respectively, of our total investment portfolio. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 92.1% and 93.1%, respectively, of the debt investments based on fair value in our portfolio were at floating rates indexed to LIBOR or Prime.

On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that it would phase out the LIBOR as a benchmark by the end of 2021. On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority and ICE Benchmark Authority announce On December 6, 2021, the Alternative References Rates Committee released a statement selecting and recommending forms of SOFR, along with associated spread adjustments and conforming changes, to replace references to 1-week and 2-month USD LIBOR. We expect that a substantial portion of our future floating rate investments will be linked to SOFR. At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of the transition to SOFR that the publication of all EUR and CHF LIBOR settings, the Spot Next/Overnight, 1 week, 2 month and 12 month JPY and GBP LIBOR settings, and the 1 week and 2 months US dollar LIBOR settings ceased to be published as of December 31, 2021, while the publication of the overnight, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, and 12 months U.S. dollar (“USD”) LIBOR settings will cease after June 30, 2023. As an alternative to LIBOR, for example, the U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, is considering replacing U.S.-dollar LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR could have adverse impacts on newly issued financial instruments and our existing financial instruments which reference LIBOR. Uncertainty as to the nature of alternative reference rates and as to potential changes or other reforms to LIBOR, or any changes announced with respect to such reforms, may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in the ~~leverage~~reported LIBOR rates and the value of ~~its~~LIBOR-based loans and securities, including those of other issuers we or our funds currently own or may in the future own. It remains uncertain how such changes would be implemented and the effects such changes would have on us, issuers of instruments in which we invest and financial markets generally.

The expected discontinuation of LIBOR could have a significant impact on our business. The dollar amount of our outstanding debt investments and borrowings that are linked to LIBOR with maturity dates after the anticipated discontinuation date of 2023 is material. We anticipate significant operational challenges for the transition away from LIBOR including, but not limited to, amending existing loan agreements with borrowers on investments that may have not been modified with fallback language and adding effective fallback language to new agreements in the event that LIBOR is discontinued before maturity. Beyond these challenges, we anticipate there may be additional risks to our current processes and information systems that will need to be identified and evaluated by us. Due to the uncertainty of the replacement for LIBOR, the potential effect of any such event on our cost of capital and net investment income cannot yet be determined. In addition, any further changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, which could have an adverse impact on the market value for or value of any LIBOR-linked securities, loans, and other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,						For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
Interest income	$	2,337		$	1,832		$	6,021		$	5,439
Fee and other income		80			244			144			356

Weighted average contractual interest rate on income producing debt investments (adjusted for non-accrual and partial non-accrual) at par		6.3	%		7.6	%		6.3	%		7.6	%

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we have generated interest income of $2.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we have generated interest income of $6.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Such revenues represent cash interest earned as well as non-cash portions relating to accretion of discounts. Cash flows related to such non-cash revenues may not occur for a number of reporting periods or years after such revenues are recognized.

The level of interest income we receive is generally related to the principal balance of income-producing investments, multiplied by the contractual interest rates of our investments. Fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of amendment and consent fees, prepayment fees, structuring fees and other non-recurring fees. As such, fee income is generally dependent on new direct origination investments and the occurrence of events at existing portfolio companies resulting in such fees. Any such fees generated will be recognized as earned. We expect the dollar amount of interest and any distribution income that we earn to increase as the size of our investment portfolio increases.

Total expenses before expense support were $1.7 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Management fees were $0.2 million and $0.2 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, net of waiver. All organization and offering costs since inception through September 30, 2022 were funded by the Adviser and we will have no responsibility for such costs until the Adviser submits such costs, or a portion thereof, for reimbursement, subject to a ~~maximum~~cap of ~~2:1. Our initial stockholder has approved~~1.50% of our ~~ability~~total commitments and provided further that the Adviser or its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization and offering expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to ~~utilize~~ the ~~increased leverage limit, which requires asset coverage~~proposed reimbursement. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we accrued organization and offering costs of ~~at least 150%. As~~$38.0 thousand and $0.0 thousand, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of interest and debt expenses related to our facility. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, legal fees were $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Total expenses before expense support were $4.0 million and $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Management fees were $0.7 million and $0.7 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, net of waiver. All organization and offering costs since inception through September 30, 2022 were funded by the Adviser and we will have no responsibility for such costs until the Adviser submits such costs, or a ~~result, we are permitted to incur additional indebtedness~~portion thereof, for reimbursement, subject to a ~~maximum~~cap of ~~2:1.~~1.50% of our total commitments and provided further that the Adviser or its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization and offering expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to the proposed reimbursement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we accrued organization and offering costs of $78.0 thousand and $12.3 thousand, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, legal fees were $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

We expect our operating expenses related to our ongoing operations to increase in the next several quarters because of the anticipated growth in the size of our asset base. We expect operating expenses as a percentage of our total assets to decrease during periods of asset growth.

On August 22, 2019, we entered into an Expense Support Agreement with the Adviser to ensure that no portion of distributions made to our stockholders will be paid from our offering proceeds or borrowings. Commencing with the fourth quarter 2019 and on a quarterly basis thereafter, pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement between us and the Adviser, the Adviser will reimburse us for operating expenses in an amount that is sufficient to ensure that our net investment income and net short-term capital gains are equal to or greater than the cumulative distributions paid to our stockholders in each quarter. This arrangement is designed to ensure that no portion of distributions made to our stockholders will be paid from offering proceeds or borrowings. The specific amount of expenses reimbursed by the Adviser, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, reimbursements from the Adviser totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, reimbursements from the Adviser totaled, $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Amounts due to the Adviser for the expected recoveries of organization, offering and operating expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, and amounts due from the Adviser under the Expense Support Agreement for such amounts, are reflected on a net basis in amounts due to/from affiliates on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gains or Losses

Our investments are generally purchased at a discount to par. We sold and received principal repayments of $9.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, from which we realized net loss totaling $(0.1) million.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

~~On April 10, 2018, BC Partners Investment Holdings Limited, an affiliate of the Adviser, purchased 4,000 shares of our common stock for $100,000 at $25 per share.~~

~~We intend to generate cash primarily~~Our liquidity and capital resources are generated from the net proceeds of ~~the~~capital drawdowns of our private placement ~~offering~~offerings of shares of our common stock, ~~including~~as well as from proceeds from ~~investment sales and~~ principal repayments, ~~as well as~~ income earned on investments and cash ~~equivalents.~~equivalents, and borrowings from the Facility. We intend to continue to generate cash primarily from future offerings of shares of our common stock, future borrowings and cash flows from operations. We may from time to time enter into additional debt facilities or increase the size of existing facilities to borrow funds to make investments, including before we have fully invested the net proceeds from our private placement offering, to the extent we determine that additional capital would allow us to take advantage of additional investment opportunities, if the market for debt financing presents attractively priced debt financing opportunities, or if our ~~board of directors~~Board determines that leveraging our portfolio would be in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. ~~However,~~In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we ~~have not currently decided whether,~~are allowed to incur borrowings, issue debt securities or issue preferred stock if immediately after the borrowing or issuance our ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness plus preferred stock, is at least 150%. As of September 30, 2022, our asset coverage ratio was 184.8%. We seek to carefully consider our unfunded commitments for the purpose of planning our capital resources and ongoing liquidity including our financial leverage. Further, we maintain sufficient borrowing capacity within the 150% asset coverage limitation under the 1940 Act and the asset coverage limitation under our credit facility to ~~what extent,~~cover any outstanding unfunded commitments we ~~will finance portfolio investments using debt.~~are required to fund.

The primary ~~use~~uses of cash, including the net proceeds from our issuance and sale of our common stock, ~~on April 10, 2018, is expected to be~~are for investments in portfolio companies, repayment of indebtedness, if any, cash distributions to our stockholders, and the cost of operations. As of September 30, 2022, the Adviser and its affiliates have incurred organization and offering costs on our behalf in the amount of $1.4 million. All organization and offering costs, and operating expenses prior to our commencement of operations were funded by the Adviser and we will not have responsibility for such costs until the Adviser submits such costs or a portion thereof for reimbursement, subject to a cap of 1.50% of our total capital commitments for organization and offering costs and provided further that the Adviser or its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization and offering expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to the proposed reimbursement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company accrued organization and offering costs of $78.0 thousand and $12.3 thousand, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $9.5 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand, plus $20.0 million available to us under our borrowing facility, which is expected to be sufficient for our investing activities and to conduct our operations in the foreseeable future. However, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our business evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. A continued worldwide disruption could materially affect our future access to our sources of liquidity, particularly our cash flows from operations, financial condition, capitalization, and capital investments. In the event of a sustained market deterioration, we may need additional liquidity, which would require us to evaluate available alternatives and take appropriate actions.

Equity

We are authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 par value per share. As of September 30, 2022, we had 1,997,415 shares outstanding.

As of September 30, 2022, we had received capital commitments totaling $46.5 million. On October 2, 2019, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, we delivered our first capital drawdown notice to investors relating to the issuance of 842,554 common stock for an aggregate offering price of $21.1 million, of which $10.8 million is from the Adviser and its affiliates, executives and employees of the Adviser, and directors of the Company.

The following tables summarizes the total shares issued and proceeds received related to capital drawdowns delivered pursuant to the Subscription Agreements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Distributions and Distribution Reinvestment

We have elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain our RIC status, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, out of the assets legally available for distribution. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we currently intend to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (3) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years. In addition, although we currently intend to distribute realized net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually, out of the assets legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

We maintain an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a distribution, then stockholders’ cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless they specifically “opt out” of the dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash distributions.

We may distribute taxable distributions that are payable in cash or shares of our common stock at the election of each stockholder. Under certain applicable provisions of the Code and the Treasury regulations, distributions payable in cash or in shares of stock at the election of stockholders are treated as taxable distributions. The Internal Revenue Service has published guidance indicating that this rule will apply even where the total amount of cash that may be distributed is limited to no more than 20% of the total distribution. Under this guidance, if too many stockholders elect to receive their distributions in cash, the cash available for distribution must be allocated among the stockholders electing to receive cash (with the balance of the distribution paid in stock). If we decide to make any distributions consistent with this guidance that are payable in part in our stock, taxable stockholders receiving such distributions will be required to include the full amount of the distribution (whether received in cash, shares of our stock, or a combination thereof) as ordinary income (or as long-term capital gain to the extent such distribution is properly reported as a capital gain distribution) to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. stockholder may be required to pay tax with respect to such distributions in excess of any cash received. If a U.S. stockholder sells the stock it receives in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the distribution, depending on the market price of our stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. stockholders, we may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such distributions, including in respect of all or a portion of such distribution that is payable in stock.

We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions and distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions and distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions and distributions due to the asset coverage test for borrowings when applicable to us as a business development company under the 1940 Act and due to provisions in future credit facilities. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our status as a regulated investment company. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions and distributions or distributions and distributions at a particular level.

With respect to the distributions paid to stockholders, income from origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees associated with investments in portfolio companies was treated as taxable income and accordingly, distributed to stockholders.

We declared our first distribution on December 19, 2019. Subject to the Board’s discretion and applicable legal restrictions, our Board intends to continue to authorize and declare a quarterly distribution amount per share of our common stock. On August 22, 2019, we entered into an Expense Support Agreement with the Adviser to ensure that no portion of distributions made to our stockholders will be paid from our offering proceeds or borrowings.

As described above, we may be prohibited by the 1940 Act from making distributions on our common stock if, at the time of declaration, our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is below 150% (subject to any exemptive relief granted to us by the SEC or no-action relief granted by the SEC to another BDC (or to us if we determine to seek such similar no-action or other relief) permitting the BDC to declare any cash distribution notwithstanding the prohibition contained in Section 18(a)(1)(B) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act in order to maintain its status as a RIC under the Code). In any such event, we would be prohibited from making distributions required in order to maintain our status as a RIC unless made in accordance with any such exemptive or no-action relief granted by the SEC.

The following tables reflect the distributions declared on shares of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Total distributions per share			$	0.93

With respect to distributions, we have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan (“DRP”) for common stockholders. As a result, in the event of a declared distribution, each shareholder that has not “opted out” of the DRP will have their distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock rather than receiving cash distributions. Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of shares of common stock will be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.

Debt

On December 16, 2019, we, through BCPL Funding, entered into a debt financing facility with UBS AG, London Branch (“UBS”), as amended on March 12, 2021, pursuant to which up to $75.0 million was be made available to us (the “Facility”). The interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Facility is based on the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 265 basis points. The Facility is secured by a security interest in virtually all of our portfolio investments (including cash), subject to certain exceptions. We have provided a make-whole guarantee to the lender in the event that the pledged assets were insufficient to satisfy the repayment of the Facility. The Facility contains covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. See “Note 5. Borrowings.”

Contractual Obligations

The following table shows the contractual maturities of our debt obligations as of September 30, 2022:

Related-Party Transactions

We have entered into certain contracts under which we have future commitments with affiliated or related parties. We entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with ~~our~~the Adviser to provide us with investment advisory services under which we will pay our Adviser an annual base management fee based on our average gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, and an incentive fee based on our performance. We also entered into an administrative agreement with ~~BC Partners Management LLC (the “Administrator”), an affiliate of BC Partners LLP,~~the Administrator to perform (or oversee, or arrange for, the performance of) the administrative services necessary to enable us to operate and under which we will reimburse the Administrator for administrative expenses incurred on our behalf. See “Note 3. Related Party Transactions – Administration ~~Agreement~~Agreement” and –“– Investment Advisory Agreement” for a description of our obligations under these agreements. We also entered into an Expense Support Agreement with the Adviser, the purpose of which is to ensure that no portion of distributions made to our stockholders will be paid from our offering proceeds or borrowings. We are obligated to reimburse the Adviser for expense payments made by the Adviser to us in connection with the Expense Support Agreement following any calendar quarter in which we have available operating funds. The amount of the reimbursement payment for any calendar quarter will be equal to the lesser of (i) the excess operating funds in such calendar quarter, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all expense payments made by the Adviser to us within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter that have not been previously reimbursed by us to the Adviser.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Portfolio Company Commitments

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had the following outstanding commitments to fund investments in current portfolio companies:

We ~~currently have no~~maintain sufficient borrowing capacity to cover outstanding unfunded portfolio company commitments that we may be required to fund. We seek to carefully consider our unfunded commitments for the purpose of planning our capital resources and ongoing liquidity including our financial leverage. Further, we maintain sufficient borrowing capacity within the 150% asset coverage limitation under the 1940 Act and the asset coverage limitation under our credit facility to cover any outstanding unfunded commitments we are required to fund.

~~off-balance~~Recent Developments ~~sheet arrangements.~~

On November 8, 2022, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share for Company stockholders as of record date November 21, 2022 payable on December 7, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial ~~statement~~statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the ~~statement~~consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods.

~~Income Taxes~~Investments at Fair Value

Investments for which market quotations are available are typically valued at those market quotations. To validate market quotations, we utilize a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of the quotations.

Debt that is not publicly traded but for which there are external pricing sources available as of the valuation date is valued using independent broker-dealer, market maker quotations or independent pricing services. The Valuation Committee subjects these quotes to various criteria including, but not limited to, the number and quality of quotes, the deviation among the quotes and information derived from analyzing our own transactions in such investments throughout the reporting period.

Investments that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available, as is expected to be the case for substantially all of the Company’s investments, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, based on, among other things, the input of the Adviser, the Audit Committee and independent third-party valuation firm(s).

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

•

The Company’s quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with the Company’s portfolio management team. The Company utilizes an independent valuation firm to provide valuation on each material illiquid security at least once every trailing 12-month period;

•

Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with management of the Adviser and investment professionals. Agreed upon valuation recommendations will be presented to the Audit Committee;

•

The Audit Committee will review the valuations presented and recommend values for each investment to the Board; and

•

The Board will review the recommended valuations and determine the fair value of each investment. Valuations that are not based on readily available market quotations will be valued in good faith based on, among other things, the input of the Adviser, the Audit Committee and, where applicable, other third parties.

As part of the valuation process, we may consider other information and may use valuation methods including but not limited to (i) market quotes for similar investments, (ii) recent trading activity, (iii) discounting forecasted cash flows of the investment, (iv) models that consider the implied yields from comparable debt, (v) third party appraisal, (vi) sale negotiations and purchase offers received from independent parties and (vii) estimated value of underlying assets to be received in liquidation or restructuring.

We classify the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy as defined by current accounting guidance:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible to the Company.

Level 3: Significant inputs that are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Revenue Recognition

We ~~intend~~record interest income on an accrual basis to ~~elect~~the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. For loans and debt securities with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the loan balance that generally becomes due at maturity, we will not accrue PIK interest if management determines that the PIK interest is not collectible. We do not accrue as a receivable interest on loans and debt securities if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such interest. Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discount are capitalized and then we amortize such amounts as interest income. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We further record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income when we receive such amounts.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code. To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certainsource-of-income and asset diversification requirements, and make minimum distributions to stockholders. We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on undistributed income. See “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies – Income Taxes.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market ~~Risk.~~Risk

~~Once we commence operations, we will be~~We are subject to financial market risks, including ~~changes in~~valuation risk, interest ~~rates. A~~rate risk, and currency risk. Generally, a rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to ~~the~~any variable rate investments we may hold and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we may hold. However, for those variable rate investments we may hold that provide for an interest rate floor, our interest income will not decrease below a threshold amount. To the extent that a substantial portion of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates beyond this threshold would make it easier for us to meet or exceed the hurdle rate applicable to the upper level breakpoint of thepre-incentive fee net investment income incentive fee, and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to the Adviser with respect to our increasedpre-incentive fee net investment income. Conversely, a decline in the general level of interest rates, including the current environment, can be expected to lead to lower interest rates applicable to any variable rate investments we may hold and to increases in the value of any fixed rate investments we may hold. Such a decrease would make it more difficult for us to meet or exceed the hurdle rate applicable to the upper level breakpoint of the pre-incentive fee net investment income incentive fee, and may result in a substantial decrease in our net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to the Adviser with respect to our decreased pre-incentive fee net investment income.

In addition, ~~in the future~~ we ~~may seek to~~ borrow funds in order to make additional investments. Our net investment income will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we will be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we or any future subsidiaries have debt outstanding or financing arrangements in effect, our interest expense will increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments.

We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and debt. If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We invest primarily in illiquid debt of private companies. Most of our investments will not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board, based on, among other things, the input of the Adviser, our Audit Committee and independent third-party valuation firm(s) engaged at the direction of the Board, and in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single technique for determining fair value. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. If, in the future, we are required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.

Valuation Risk

We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities of private companies. Most of our investments do not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. We intend to continue to fund portions of our investments with borrowings, and at such time, our net investment income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

As of September 30, 2022, 92.1% of the debt investments based on fair value in our portfolio were at floating rates indexed to LIBOR, SOFR, or Prime, as was our outstanding debt.

The following table shows the estimated annualized impact on net investment income based on hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates on our loan portfolio and outstanding debt as of September 30, 2022, assuming there are no changes in our investment and borrowing structure.

Although we believe that this analysis is indicative of our existing sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for changes in the credit market, credit quality, the size and composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business developments that could affect our net income. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that actual results would not differ materially from the analysis above.
Currency Risk
From time to time, we may make investments that are denominated in a foreign currency. These investments are translated into U.S. dollars at each balance sheet date, exposing us to movements in foreign exchange rates. We may employ hedging techniques to minimize these risks, but we cannot assure you that such strategies will be effective or without risk to us. We may seek to utilize instruments such as, but not limited to, forward contracts to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of our portfolio positions from changes in currency exchange rates. As of September 30, 2022, we had no assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As required by Rule13a-15(b) under the ~~Exchange~~1934 Act, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule13a-15(e) ~~under~~ of the ~~Exchange~~1934 Act) as of ~~June~~September 30, ~~2018.~~2022. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level that we would meet our disclosure obligations.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
