(2)

Indicates assets that the Company believes may not represent “qualifying assets” under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). If we fail to invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets, we could be prevented from makingfollow-on investments in existing portfolio companies or could be required to dispose of investments at inappropriate times in order to comply with the 1940 Act. As of March 31, 2020, on a fair value basis,non-qualifying assets in the portfolio represented 4.3% of the total assets of the Company.

Furthermore, as the Company is an investment company, it applies the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company intends to elect to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

On March 12, 2019, the sale and issuance of 2,800,000 units, at an aggregate purchase price of $28,000 ($10.00 per unit) occurred and the Company commenced material operations. Prior to the commencement of operations, 100 units were sold and issued at an aggregate purchase price of $1 ($10.00 per unit) to Solar Capital Partners, LLC, the Company’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).

The Company expects to implement a corporate lending strategy that once ramped, will focusfocused on sourcing, underwriting and managing a diverse portfolio of private senior secured loans primarily to upper middle market companies (generally, loan sizes of $100,000 to $300,000 to companies with earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) between approximately $25,000 and $100,000) across the United States. In addition to senior secured loans to upper middle market companies, the Company intends to invest a portion of its assets innon-traditional asset-based loans and first lien loans to rapidly growing healthcare companies. The Company also expects that some of its investments will contain delayed-draw term loan type features and/or other types of unfunded commitments.

The offering period of the Company ended on April 5, 2019 (the “Offering Period”). The term of the Company will be six years from the end of the Offering Period unless the Company is liquidated earlier as set forth in the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “LLC Agreement”), but may be extended by the board of directors for up to two consecutive one year periods upon approval of the Company’s independent directors and the approval of unitholders of the Company (“Unitholders”), which approval will be obtained through anon-1940 Act vote as described in the LLC Agreement. The Company may be dissolved and its affairs wound up prior to the end of the term under the circumstances set forth in the LLC Agreement. The fiscal year end of the Company is December 31.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form10-Q and RegulationS-X, as appropriate. Accordingly, they may not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2019.2020.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements, have been included.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Company are:

 

 (a)

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date;

 

 (b)

In accordance with GAAP and the 1940 Act, the Company’s assets will generally be valued as follows:

 

 (i)

securities or other instruments (other than as referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) below) for which market quotes are readily available will be valued based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, market makers or pricing services (when deemed to represent fair value under U.S. GAAP);

 

 (ii)

exchange-traded options, futures and options on futures will be valued at the settlement price determined by the exchange or through the use of a model such as Black-Scholes;

 

 (iii)

short-term investments with maturities of sixty (60) days or less generally will be valued at amortized cost; and

 

 (iv)

securities, loans or other instruments for which market quotes are not readily available will be valued as described below:

 

 a.

the quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of the Adviser responsible for the portfolio investment;

 

 b.

preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of the Adviser;

 

 c.

the audit committee of the Board of Directors ( the “Board”) reviews the preliminary valuations of the Adviser and third party valuation specialist, if any, and responds to the valuation recommendations to reflect any comments; and

 

 d.

the Board discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Adviser, the audit committee, and third party valuation specialist, if any, that may from time to time be engaged.

The valuation principles set forth above may be modified from time to time without notice to Unitholders, in whole or in part, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Company will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the

valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

Investments are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. However, in accordance with ASC820-10, certain investments that qualify as investment companies in accordance with ASC 946, may be valued using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation approaches to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process. For the periodthree months ended March 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2019,31, 2020, there has been no change to the Company’s valuation approaches or techniques and the nature of the related inputs considered in the valuation process.

ASC Topic 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by the Company at the measurement date.

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: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The exercise of judgment is based in part on our knowledge of the asset class and our prior experience.

 

 (c)

Gains or losses on investments are calculated by using the specific identification method.

 

 (d)

The Company records dividend income and interest, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discounts are capitalized and we amortize such amounts into income using the effective interest method. Upon the prepayment of a loan, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record call premiums on loans repaid as interest income when we receive such amounts. Capital structuring fees, amendment fees, consent fees, and any othernon-recurring fee income as well as management fee and other fee income for services rendered, if any, are recorded as other income when earned.

 (e)

The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code pertaining to regulated investment companies to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it of substantially all U.S. federal income taxes. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. The Company will accrue excise tax on such estimated excess taxable income as appropriate.

 

 (f)

Book and tax basis differences relating to Unitholder distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are typically reclassified among the Company’s capital accounts annually. In addition, the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP.

 

 (g)

Distributions to Unitholders are recorded as of the record date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed or deemed distributed at least annually.

 

 (h)

In accordance with RegulationS-X and ASC Topic 810—Consolidation, the Company consolidates its interest in controlled investment company subsidiaries, financing subsidiaries and certain wholly-owned holding companies that serve to facilitate investment in portfolio companies. In addition, the Company may also consolidate any controlled operating companies substantially all of whose business consists of providing services to the Company.

 

 (i)

The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against the U.S. dollar on the date of valuation. The Company will not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations would be included with the net unrealized gain or loss from investments. The Company’s investments in foreign securities, if any, may involve certain risks, including without limitation: foreign exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic risks, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investment. In addition, changes in the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of these investments in terms of U.S. dollars and therefore the earnings of the Company.

 

 (j)

In accordance with ASC835-30, the Company reports origination and other expenses related to certain debt issuances, if any, as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. Applicable expenses are deferred and amortized using either the effective interest method or the straight-line method over the stated life. The straight-line method may be used on revolving facilities and/or when it approximates the effective yield method.

 

 (k)

The Company records expenses related to applicable equity offering costs as a charge to capital upon utilization, in accordance with ASC946-20-25.

 

 (l)

Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest in cash are generally placed onnon-accrual status when principal or interest cash payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when it is no longer probable that principal or interest cash payments will be collected. Suchnon-accrual investments are restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest are paid in cash, and in management’s judgment, are likely to continue timely payment of their remaining principal and interest obligations. Cash interest payments received on such investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending on management’s judgment.

 

 (m)

The Company records expenses directly related to its organization as incurred.

 (n)

The Company defines cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only securities with a maturity of three months or less would qualify, with limited exceptions. The Company believes that certain U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities would qualify as cash equivalents.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework—Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this UpdateASU2018-13 modify and eliminate certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU2018-13 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which will amend FASB ASC310-20. The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, generally requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has adopted ASU2017-082018-13 and determined that the adoption has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The amendments in ASU2020-04 provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU2020-04 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions

The Company has entered into an investment management agreement with the Adviser (the “Investment Management Agreement”) pursuant to which it will pay management fees, administrative coordinator fees and incentive fees to the Adviser. The Company will pay the Adviser a fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee. The Company will also pay the Adviser (in its capacity as Administrative Coordinator, defined herein) an administration fee for administrative and coordination services. The cost of the base management fee, the incentive fee, and the administration fee will be borne by the Unitholders.

Management Fees and Administration Fees

The Company will pay the Adviser a management fee (the “Management Fee”), calculated as of the close of business in New York, New York on the last day of each calendar quarter (each such date, the “Management Fee Calculation Date”), in an amount equal to 1.5% per annum of Invested Capital (defined as, as of any date, the sum of (i) capital contributions to the Company plus (ii) the total amount of credit drawn on subscription credit facilities), and payable quarterly in arrears after such Management Fee Calculation Date.

Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser has also been appointed to provide administrative and coordination services to the Company (in such capacity, the “Administrative Coordinator”). The Company will pay the Administrative Coordinator, a fee (the “Administration Fee”), calculated as of the close of business in New York, New York on the last day of each calendar quarter (the “Administration Fee Calculation Date”), in an amount equal to 0.08% per annum of the average Cost Basis (defined as the aggregate accreted and amortized cost of all portfolio investments, including any amounts reinvested in investments and the

cost of investments acquired using leverage), as measured on the last day of the preceding quarter and the last day of the current quarter for the period ended and payable quarterly in arrears after such Administration Fee

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Calculation Date. The Administrative Coordinator will be responsible for all expenses of its own staff responsible for (i) certainon-going, routine,non-investment-related administrative services for the Company, (ii) the coordination of various third party services needed or required by the Fund and (iii) certain Unitholder servicing functions.

Each of the Management Fee and the Administration Fee will be appropriately adjusted for any stub period. Such fees will be paid out of net current income and/or disposition proceeds or, to the extent such amounts are not available, from unfunded capital commitments that will be drawn down, or borrowings of the Company. In the event that the Adviser arranges for the Company to pay any portion of a placement fee to a placement agent, the amount of management fees otherwise payable shall be reduced by an amount equal to 100% of such payment to the placement agent.

Incentive Fee

The Company will make distributions out of two categories: Current Proceeds and Disposition Proceeds (collectively referred to as “Investment Proceeds”). “Disposition Proceeds” means all amounts received by the Company upon the disposition of an investment, including full or partial repayments or amortization of principal (but excluding Current Proceeds). “Current Proceeds” means all proceeds from investments, including interest income, fee income, warrant gains, prepayment fees and exit fees, other than Disposition Proceeds. The Adviser will apportion each Unitholder’s pro rata share of Investment Proceeds between Disposition Proceeds and Current Proceeds. Amounts of Investment Proceeds apportioned to Unitholders will be divided between and distributed to Unitholders, on the one hand, and the Adviser, on the other hand, in the following amounts and order of priority:

(i) First, Return of Capital Contributions: 100% of amounts constituting Disposition Proceeds to Unitholders until each Unitholder has received cumulative distributions of Disposition Proceeds pursuant to this clause (i) equal to each Unitholder’s total capital contributions to the Company (including amounts contributed to pay Management Fees, Administration Fees, Organizational Expenses and other Company expenses). Amounts constituting Current Proceeds proceed to clause (ii) and are not returned under this clause (i);

(ii) Second, Unitholder Preferred Return: 100% of all remaining Investment Proceeds to Unitholders until they have each received distributions, without duplication, pursuant to this clause (ii) and clause (iv) below equal to a 6% per annum return, compounded annually, on Unitholders’ unreturned capital contributions to the Company (including amounts contributed to pay Management Fees, Administration Fees, Organizational Expenses and other Company expenses);

(iii) Third, Adviser Catch Up: 80% of all remaining Investment Proceeds to the Adviser, as a “catch up” distribution with respect to its incentive fee, until the Adviser has received distributions of Investment Proceeds with respect to Unitholders pursuant to this clause (iii) equal to 15% of the total amounts distributed to Unitholders and the Adviser with respect to Unitholders pursuant to clause (ii) above and this clause (iii); and

(iv) Fourth, 85%/15% units: 85% to Unitholders and 15% to the Adviser as an incentive fee.

In no event will the Adviser receive InvestmentDisposition Proceeds that, as of any distribution date, exceeds 20% of cumulative realized capital gains net of all cumulative realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation.

The Adviser may also elect not to receive all or any portion of the incentive fee that would otherwise be distributed to it, and may cause any or all amounts subsequently available for distribution to the Unitholders to be

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

(in thousands, except unit amounts)

distributed to the Adviser until it has received the same aggregate amount of incentive fees had it not previously waived receipt of incentive fees.

The Adviser will be entitled to withhold from any distributions, in its discretion, any required tax withholdings. Amounts of taxes paid or withheld from amounts otherwise distributable to a Unitholder will be deemed distributed for purposes of the calculations above.

Upon liquidation of the Fund, the Adviser will be required to restore funds to the Company for distribution to the Unitholders if and to the extent that the Adviser has received cumulative incentive fees in excess of the incentive fees that would have been payable to the Adviser on an aggregate basis covering all transactions of the Fund; provided, however, that in no event will the Adviser be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of 100% of the net amount distributed to the Adviser (net of taxes) on account of its incentive fees. In addition, the Adviser will apply an interim incentive fee adjustment at the end of each fiscal year so that, in the event of any over-distribution of incentive fee to the Adviser (measured with respect to each Unitholder using the fair value of the Company’s portfolio at the end of the applicable fiscal year as if the Company were to liquidate on such date), future distributions that would, absent such interim incentive fee adjustment, otherwise be distributed to the Adviser as an incentive fee, shall be distributed to such Unitholder until such over-distribution (net of taxes payable by the Adviser with respect to such incentive fee) has been eliminated.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred $251 in Management Fees, $15 in Administration FeesMarch 31, 2020 and $0 in Incentive Fees. For the period March 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) to September 30,March 31, 2019, the Company incurred $612$524 and $34, respectively, in Management Fees, $28$26 and $1, respectively, in Administration Fees and $0 and $0, respectively, in Incentive Fees.

The aggregate amount of certain operating expenses relating to Unitholders investing directly in the Company will not exceed the Operating Expense Cap, calculated as follows: (A) if the Company has less than or equal to $400,000 in capital commitments, an amount equal to the sum of (x) the product of the capital commitments and 0.0025 and (y) $1,250, or (B) if the Company has greater than $400,000 in capital commitments, $2,250. Any amount in excess of the Operating Expense Cap for any fiscal year will be paid by the Adviser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Operating Expense Cap will not apply to any fees, costs, expenses and liabilities allocable to persons investing indirectly in the Company through any Unitholder.

The Adviser or Administrative Coordinator and/or their affiliates has advanced organizational and offering expenses to the Company, which include organizational fees, costs, expenses and liabilities of the Company, including legal expenses, incurred in connection with the initial offering of Units and the formation and establishment of the Company. The Adviser or Administrative Coordinator (or such affiliate) will be reimbursed by the Company for such advanced costs and expenses in an amount not to exceed $500. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020 $308 of offering expenses were charged to capital and $84 of organizational costs were expensed.

Note 4. Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in

SCP Private Credit Income BDC LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

March 31, 2020

(in thousands, except unit amounts)

the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

 

 a)

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

 b)

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities innon-active markets;

 

 c)

Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

SCP Private Credit Income BDC LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

September 30, 2019

(in thousands, except unit amounts)

 

 d)

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

Level 3.Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s and, if applicable, an independent third-party valuation firm’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3).

Gains and losses for assets and liabilities categorized within the Level 3 table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).

A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications involving Level 3 assets and liabilities are reported as transfers in/out of the appropriate categoryLevel 3 as of the end of the quarter in which the reclassifications occur. Within the fair value hierarchy tables below, cash and cash equivalents are excluded but could be classified as Level 1.

The following table presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of September 30,March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The Company typically determines the fair value of its performing debt investments utilizing a yield analysis. In a yield analysis, a price is ascribed for each investment based upon an assessment of current and expected market yields for similar investments and risk profiles. Additional consideration is given to current contractual interest rates, relative maturities and other key terms and risks associated with an investment. Among

other factors, a significant determinant of risk is the amount of leverage used by the portfolio company relative to the total enterprise value of the company, and the rights and remedies of our investment within each portfolio company.

Significant unobservable quantitative inputs typically used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Level 3 assets and liabilities primarily reflect current market yields, including indices, and readily available quotes from brokers, dealers, and pricing services as indicated by comparable assets and liabilities, as well as enterprise values, returns on equity and earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples of similar companies, and comparable market transactions for equity securities.

We have reviewed the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of SCP Private Credit Income BDC LLC (and consolidated subsidiaries) (the Company), including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2019, andMarch 31, 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in unitholders’ capital, and cash flows for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, the period March 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 201931, 2020 and for the period August 1, 2018 (date of initial sale of units) to September 30, 2018, the related consolidated statements of changes in unitholders’ capital for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, the period March 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2019 and for the period August 1, 2018 (date of initial sale of units) to September 30, 2018, the related consolidated statement of cash flows for the period March 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) to September 30,March 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our review,reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

TheWe have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in unitholders’ capital, and cash flows for the period March 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2019 (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 20, 2020, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of the Companyinvestments, as of December 31, 2018, and the related notes, and2019, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of cash flows forassets and liabilities, including the period August 1, 2018 (dateconsolidated schedule of initial sale of units) to September 30, 2018 were not audited or reviewed by us, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on them.investments, from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviewreviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Overview

The Company was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 18, 2018. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, Act,as amended (the “1940 Act”), and have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, we are required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of our assets in “qualifying assets,” source of income limitations, asset diversification requirements, and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable incomeand tax-exempt interest. In addition, we expect that all of the Company’s total portfolio will be comprised of investments in the U.S.

Solar Capital Partners, LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the Company’s investment adviser pursuant to an investment management agreement between the Company and the Adviser (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Investment Management Agreement”). Subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Adviser is responsible for managing the Company’s business and activities, including sourcing investment opportunities, conducting research, performing diligence on potential investments, structuring our investments, and monitoring our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis through a team of investment professionals. The managing members of the Adviser are Michael Gross and Bruce Spohler, who also comprise the Adviser’s investment committee. Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser has also been appointed to provide administrative and coordination services to the Company (in such capacity, the “Administrative Coordinator”). The Administrative Coordinator supervises or provides the Company’s administrative services, including operational trade support, net asset value calculations, financial reporting, fund accounting, registrar and transfer agent services. The Administrative Coordinator also provides assistance to the Adviser in connection with communicating with investors and other persons with respect to the Company.

The Company is organized primarily for investors who may invest through one or more investment funds created by one or more financial institutions unaffiliated with the Company (collectively, the “Access Fund”). Certain other investors may also invest directly in the Company. For those investors who invest through the Access Fund, we expect the Access Fund will issue a pro rata interest to each investor in the Access Fund (the “Access Fund Investors”) that, with respect to each Access Fund Investor’s investment in the Access Fund, corresponds to the pro rata share of the units issued by the Company to the Access Fund. We also expect that units will only be sold (i) in the U.S. only to U.S. persons who are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, Actas

amended (the “Securities Act”) and (ii) outside the U.S. in accordance with Regulation S under the 1933Securities Act. Upon a sale of units to an investor, we expect the Access Fund will pass its voting rights in the Company through to the Access Fund Investors.

The Company’s principal focus once ramped, is to invest in first lien and stretch first lien secured floating rate loans primarily to upper middle market private leveraged companies (generally, loan sizes of $100 million to $300 million to companies with earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) between approximately $25 million and $100 million) that have significant free cash flow and arein non-cyclical industries in which the Adviser has direct experience. In addition to senior secured loans to upper middle market companies, the Company intends to invest a portion of its assetsin non-traditional asset-based loans and first lien loans to rapidly growing healthcare companies. The Company also expects that some of its investments will contain delayed-draw term loan type features (which is a legally binding commitment by the Company to fund additional term loans to a borrower in the future) and/or other types of unfunded commitments. The Company will seek to be the single source lender for the majority of its portfolio companies by leveraging the significant capital base at the Adviserfor co-investment opportunities where appropriate. The Company believes many financial sponsors and individual corporate management teams are looking for a single lender to provide the entire debt financing to streamline and simplify the debt negotiation process. In order to provide a

single source lender while maintaining the Company’s diversification objectives, the Company expectsto co-invest with other vehicles managed by the Adviser. There can be no assurance that the Company will be ableto co-invest with such other funds, including as a result of legal restrictions and contractual restrictions and, as a result, the Company may not be able to meet its investment objective. The Company believes the potential scale resultingfrom co-investments with vehicles managed by the Adviser will provide the Company a significant advantage to source loans over other lenders that do not have the capital base to provide the entire debt financing.

The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and the Company may from time to time take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).Act.

Revenues

The Company’s principal focus once ramped, is to invest in first lien and stretch first lien secured floating rate loans primarily to upper middle market private leveraged companies (generally, loan sizes of $100 million to $300 million to companies with EBITDA between approximately $25 million and $100 million) that have significant free cash flow and are innon-cyclical industries in which we have direct experience. In addition to senior secured loans to upper middle market companies, the Company intends to invest a portion of its assets innon-traditional asset-based loans and first lien loans to rapidly growing healthcare companies.

Any amount in excess of the Operating Expense Cap for any fiscal year will be paid by the Adviser. Solely by way of example, if Commitments equal $350 million, the Operating Expense Cap will be equal to $2.125 million. For the avoidance of doubt, the Operating Expense Cap will not apply to any fees, costs, expenses and liabilities allocable to persons investing indirectly in the Company through any Unitholder.

Additionally, the Company will not bear the costs of any third-party valuation agent engaged solely for purposes of valuing the net asset value of the Company.

The Adviser or Administrative Coordinator and/or their affiliates has advanced organizational and offering expenses to the Company, which include organizational fees, costs, expenses and liabilities of the Company, including legal expenses, incurred in connection with the initial offering of Units and the formation and establishment of the Company. The Adviser or Administrative Coordinator (or such affiliate) will be reimbursed by the Company for such advanced costs and expenses in an amount not to exceed $0.5 million. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, $0.3 million of offering expenses were charged to capital and $0.1 million of organizational costs were expensed.

Portfolio and Investment Activity

During the three months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we invested $17.6$41.8 million across 9 portfolio companies. This compares to investing $53.1 million in 9 portfolio companies for the period March 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2019. Investments sold or prepaid during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 totaled $17.3 million versus $0.3 million for the period March 12, 2019 totaled $5.6 million.(commencement of operations) to March 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies. Within the context of these critical accounting policies and disclosed subsequent events herein, we are not currently aware of any other reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

The Company’s NAV will be calculated periodically by the Adviser or its delegate, and approved by the Board, by taking the value of the Portfolio Investments and other assets of the Company and subtracting all liabilities, including accrued expenses.

It is anticipated that in respect of many of the Company’s assets, readily available market quotations will not be obtainable and that such assets will be valued at fair value.

For purposes of calculating the NAV, the Company’s assets will generally be valued as follows:

 

 (v)(i)

securities or other instruments (other than as referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) below) for which market quotes are readily available will be valued based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, market makers or pricing services (when deemed to represent fair value under U.S. GAAP);

 

 (vi)(ii)

exchange-traded options, futures and options on futures will be valued at the settlement price determined by the exchange or through the use of a model such as Black-Scholes;

 (vii)(iii)

short-term investments with maturities of sixty (60) days or less generally will be valued at amortized cost; and

 

 (viii)(iv)

securities, loans or other instruments for which market quotes are not readily available will be valued as described below:

 

 a.

the quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of the Adviser responsible for the portfolio investment;

 

 b.

preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of the Adviser;

 

 c.

the audit committee of the Board reviews the preliminary valuations of the Adviser and third party valuation specialist, if any, and responds to the valuation recommendations to reflect any comments; and

 

 d.

the Board discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Adviser, the audit committee, and third party valuation specialist, if any, that may from time to time be engaged.

The valuation principles set forth above may be modified from time to time without notice to Unitholders, in whole or in part, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

Leverage

The Company is required to comply with the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act. The Company expects to employ leverage and otherwise incur indebtedness with respect to the portfolio both on a recourseand non-recourse basis (including and potentially through guarantees, derivatives, forward commitments and reverse repurchase agreements), but will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, historically BDCs such as the Company have only been permitted to incur indebtedness to the extent asset coverage, as defined under the 1940 Act, is at least 200% immediately after each such borrowing. However, recent legislation has modified the 1940 Act to permit a BDC to reduce its asset coverage ratio to 150%, if certain requirements are met. In connection with the organization of the Company, the Adviser, as the initial Unitholder, has authorized the Company to adopt the 150% asset coverage ratio as of August 2, 2018. In connection with their subscriptions of the Units, our Unitholders were required to acknowledge our ability to operate with an asset coverage ratio that may be as low as 150%. The Company will be exposed to the risks of leverage, which may be considered a speculative investment technique. The use of leverage magnifies the potential for gain and loss on amounts invested and therefore increases the risks associated with investing in our securities. In addition, the costs associated with our borrowings, including any increase in the management fee payable to the Adviser will be borne by our Unitholders. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company held $61.2$86.8 million of senior securities, for an asset coverage ratio of 158.3%207.2%.

Taxation as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”)

The Company intends to electelected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and intends to qualify for taxation as a RIC annually thereafter. As a RIC, the Company generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it timely distributes to Unitholders as dividends. In order to qualify for taxation as a RIC, the Company is required, among other things, to be diversified at each quarter end and to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. There is no guarantee the Company will be able to maintain its status as a RIC. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a given tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions, the Company will accrue an estimated excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.    The amendments in this UpdateASU2018-13 modify and eliminate certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.

The comparative increase in gross investment income is due to an increase in the size of the income-producing portfolio.

Expenses

Net expenses totaled $1.8$1.9 million and $3.8$0.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and for the period March 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) to September 30,March 31, 2019, of which $0.3$0.5 million and $0.6$0.04 million, respectively, were management fees and administration fees and $1.2 million and $2.3$0.1 million, respectively, were interest and other credit facility expenses.

Expenses generally consist of management fees, administration fees, performance-based incentive fees, administrative services expenses, insurance, legal expenses, directors’ expenses, audit and tax expenses and other general and administrative expenses. Interest and other credit facility expenses generally consist of interest, unused fees, agency fees and loan origination fees, if any, among others. The comparative increase in expenses is due to an increase in borrowings to support the increase in the size of the portfolio. As capital was drawn and invested, management and administration fees increased as well.

Net Investment Income (Loss)

The Company’s net investment income (loss) totaled $0.05$1.2 million and ($0.4)0.1) million, or $0.02$0.19 and ($0.15)0.05) per average unit, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and for the period March 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) to September 30,March 31, 2019.

Net realized gainsgain (loss) over the same periods totaled $0.05 million($0) and $0.05 million,$0, respectively. Net realized gainsloss for these periods were primarily related to the exit of our investment in Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals, Inc.three months ended March 31, 2020 was immaterial.

Net Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss)

For the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and the period March 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) to September 30,March 31, 2019, net change in unrealized gain (loss) on the Company’s assets totaled $0.1($4.8) million and $0.3 million, respectively. Net unrealized gainloss for the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was modest.primarily due to depreciation on our investments in Kore Wireless Group, Inc., Edgewood Partners Holdings, LLC and Drilling Info Holdings, Inc., among others. Net unrealized gain for the period March 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) to September 30,March 31, 2019 is primarily due to appreciation on our investments in KORE Wireless Group, Inc., Kingsbridge Holdings, LLC and Edgewood Partners Holdings, LLC, among others, partially offset by depreciation in Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Apollo Endosurgery, Inc., among others. The year over year net change in unrealized loss is impacted by uncertainty due to theCOVID-19 pandemic and its effect on market yields and fundamental portfolio company performance.

Cash Equivalents

We deem certain U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities as cash equivalents. The Company makes purchases that are consistent with its purpose of making investments in securities described in paragraphs 1 through 3 of Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. From time to time, including at or near the end of each fiscal quarter, we consider using various temporary investment strategies for our business. One strategy includes taking proactive steps by utilizing cash equivalents as temporary assets with the objective of enhancing our investment flexibility pursuant to Section 55 of the 1940 Act. More specifically, fromtime-to-time we may purchase U.S. Treasury bills or other high-quality, short-term debt securities at or near the end of the quarter and typically close out the position on a net cash basis subsequent to quarter end. We may also utilize repurchase agreements or other balance sheet transactions, including drawing down on our credit facilities, as deemed appropriate. The amount of these transactions or such drawn cash for this purpose is excluded from total assets for purposes of computing the asset base upon which the management fee is determined. We held approximately $10 million of cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. We have entered into the Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser in accordance with the 1940 Act. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Company will pay the Adviser the Management Fee and the Incentive

Fee, and the Administrative Coordinator the Administration Fee. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Administrative Coordinator may engage or delegate certain administrative functions to third parties or affiliates on behalf of the Company. The Administrative Coordinator will be responsible for all expenses of its own staff responsible for(i) certain on-going, routine, non-investment-related administrative services for the Company, (ii) the coordination of various third party services needed or required by the Company, and (iii) certain Unitholder servicing functions.

If any of the contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs under any new agreements that we enter into may increase. In addition, we would likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide the services we expect to receive under the Investment Management Agreement. Any new investment advisory agreement would also be subject to approval by our Unitholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Fromtime-to-time and in the normal course of business, the Company may make unfunded capital commitments to current or prospective portfolio companies. Typically, the Company may agree to provide delayed-draw term loans or, to a lesser extent, revolving loan or equity commitments. These unfunded capital commitments always take into account the Company’s liquidity and cash available for investment, portfolio and

issuer diversification, and other considerations. Accordingly, the Company had the following unfunded capital commitments at September 30, 2019:March 31, 2020:

The credit agreements of the above loan commitments contain customary lending provisions and/or are subject to the portfolio company’s achievement of certain milestones that allow relief to the Company from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company had sufficient cash available and/or liquid securities available to fund its commitments.

Related Parties

We have entered into the Investment Management Agreement with Solar Capital Partners. Mr. Gross, our Chairman,Co-Chief Executive Officer and President and Mr. Spohler, ourCo-Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and board member, are managing members and senior investment professionals of, and have financial and controlling interests in, the Adviser. In addition, Mr. Peteka, our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary serves as the Chief Financial Officer for Solar Capital Partners.

The Adviser may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. For example, the Adviser presently serves as investment adviser to Solar Capital Ltd., a publicly traded BDC, which focuses on investing in senior secured loans, including stretch-senior and unitranche loans, financing leases and to a lesser extent, mezzanineunsecured loans and equity securities. In addition, Michael S. Gross, our Chairman,Co-Chief Executive Officer and President, Bruce Spohler, ourCo-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and Richard L. Peteka, our Chief Financial Officer, serve in similar capacities for Solar Capital Ltd. and Solar Senior Capital Ltd. The Adviser and certain investment advisory affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Adviser or its affiliates may determine that we should investside-by-side with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, and consistent with the Adviser’s allocation procedures. On June 13, 2017, the Adviser received an exemptive order that permits the Company to participate innegotiated co-investment transactions with certain affiliates, in a manner consistent with the Company’s investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory

requirements and other pertinent factors, and pursuant to various conditions (the “Order”). If the Company is unable to rely on the Order for a particular opportunity, such opportunity will be allocated first to the entity whose investment strategy is the most consistent with the opportunity being allocated, and second, if the terms of the opportunity are consistent with more than one entity’s investment strategy, on an alternating basis. Although the Adviser’s investment professionals will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner, the Company and its Unitholders could be adversely affected to the extent investment opportunities are allocated among us and other investment vehicles managed or sponsored by, or affiliated with, our executive officers, directors and members of the Adviser.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. In addition, in a prolonged low interest rate environment, including a reduction of LIBOR to zero, the difference between the total interest income earned on interest earning assets and the total interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities may be compressed, reducing our net interest income and potentially adversely affecting our operating results. During the periodthree months ended March 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2019,31, 2020, certain of the investments in our comprehensive investment portfolio had floating interest rates. These floating rate investments were primarily based on floating LIBOR and typically have durations of one to three months after which they reset to current market interest rates. Additionally, some of these investments have LIBOR floors. The Company also has revolving credit facilities that are generally based on floating LIBOR. Assuming no changes to our balance sheet as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and no new defaults by portfolio companies, a hypothetical one percent decrease in LIBOR on our comprehensive floating rate assets and liabilities would decreasehave a negligible impact on our net investment income by two cents per average shareunit over the next twelve months. Assuming no changes to our balance sheet as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and no new defaults by portfolio companies, a hypothetical one percent increase in LIBOR on our comprehensive floating rate assets and liabilities would increase our net investment income by fourthree cents per average shareunit over the next twelve months. However, we may hedge against interest rate fluctuations fromtime-to-time by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options, swaps and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in any benefits of certain changes in interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments. At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we have no interest rate hedging instruments outstanding on our balance sheet.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 (the end of the period covered by this report), our management, including ourCo-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including theCo-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including ourCo-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily

was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management has not identified any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We and the Adviser are not currently subject to any material pending legal proceedings threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations beyond what has been disclosed within these financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in the February 21, 201920, 2020 filing of the Annual Report onForm 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. ThereOther than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes during the periodthree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 to the risk factors discussing in “Risk Factors” in the February 21, 201920, 2020 filing of our Annual Report on Form10-K.

Public Health Crises Risk. Periods of market volatility have occurred and could continue to occur in response to pandemics or other events outside of our control. These types of events have adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect operating results for us and for our portfolio companies. For example, in December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (also known as“COVID-19”) surfaced in China and has since spread to other countries, including the United States, which has resulted in restrictions on travel and the temporary closure of many corporate offices, retail stores, and manufacturing facilities and factories in the affected jurisdictions. In addition to these developments having adverse consequences for us and our portfolio companies have been, and could continue to be, adversely impacted, including through quarantine measures and travel restrictions imposed on its personnel or service providers based or temporarily located in affected countries, or any related health issues of such personnel or service providers. As the potential impact ofCOVID-19 is difficult to predict, the extent to whichCOVID-19 could negatively affect our and our portfolio companies’ operating results or the duration of any potential business or supply-chain disruption, is uncertain. Any potential impact to our results of operations will depend to a large extent on future developments and new information that could emerge regarding the duration and severity ofCOVID-19 and the actions taken by authorities and other entities to containCOVID-19 or treat its impact, all of which are beyond our control. These potential impacts, while uncertain, could adversely affect our and our portfolio companies’ operating results.

Capital Markets Uncertainty. The U.S. capital markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruption following the global outbreak ofCOVID-19 that began in December 2019. Some economists and major investment banks have expressed concern that the continued spread of the virus globally could lead to a world-wide economic downturn. Disruptions in the capital markets have increased the spread between the yields

realized on risk-free and higher risk securities, resulting in illiquidity in parts of the capital markets. These and future market disruptions and/or illiquidity would be expected to have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Unfavorable economic conditions also 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 have limited and could continue to limit our investment originations, limit our ability to grow and have a material negative impact on our operating results and the fair values of our debt and equity investments.

No Assurance of Cash Distributions. Subject to the Board’s discretion and applicable legal restrictions, the Company expects to declare and pay distributions quarterly. We expect to pay these distributions out of assets legally available for distribution. However, there are no assurances that the Company will achieve investment results that will allow a targeted level of cash distributions oryear-to-year increases in cash distributions. All distributions that are made will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on earnings, financial condition, maintenance of RIC status and other factors as the Board may deem to be relevant. Our ability to pay distributions might be adversely affected by the impact of one or more of the risk factors described in this quarterly report or incorporated herein by reference, including theCOVID-19 pandemic described above. For example, if the temporary closure of many corporate offices, retail stores, and manufacturing facilities and factories in the jurisdictions, including the United States, affected by theCOVID-19 pandemic were to continue for an extended period of time it could result in reduced cash flows to us from our existing portfolio companies, which could reduce cash available for distribution to our unitholders. If we violate certain covenants under our existing or future credit facilities or other leverage, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions. To the extent we make distributions to unitholders that include a return of capital, such portion of the distribution essentially constitutes a return of the unitholder’s investment. There can be no assurances that the Company will pay distributions to Unitholders in the future.

In certain cases, the Company may recognize income before or without receiving the accompanying cash. Depending on the amount of noncash income, this could result in difficulty satisfying the annual distribution requirement applicable to RICs. Accordingly, the Company may have to sell some investments at times it would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or reduce new investments to meet these distribution requirements.

Potential Dividend Deferrals

As a BDC, we are not required to make any distributions to Unitholders other than in connection with our election to be taxed as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code. In order to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC, we must distribute to Unitholders for each taxable year at least 90% of our investment company taxable income (i.e., net ordinary income plus realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses). If we qualify for taxation as a RIC, we generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on our investment company taxable income and net capital gains (i.e., realized net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses) that we timely distribute to Unitholders. We will be subject to a 4% US federal excise tax on undistributed earnings of a RIC unless we distribute each calendar year at least the sum of (i) 98.0% of our ordinary income for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses for theone-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year, and (iii) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no federal income tax.

Under the Code, we may satisfy certain of our RIC distributions with dividends paid after the end of the current year. In particular, if we pay a distribution in January of the following year that was declared in October, November, or December of the current year and is payable to Unitholders of record in the current year, the dividend will be treated for all US federal tax purposes as if it were paid on December 31 of the current year. In addition, under the Code, we may pay dividends, referred to as “spillover dividends,” that are paid during the following taxable year that will allow us to maintain our qualification for taxation as a RIC and eliminate our

liability for corporate-level U.S. federal income tax. Under these spillover dividend procedures, we may defer distribution of income earned during the current year until December of the following year. For example, we may defer distributions of income earned during 2020 until as late as December 31, 2021. If we choose to pay a spillover dividend, we will incur the 4% U.S. federal excise tax on some or all of the distribution.

Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic or other disruptions in the economy, we anticipate that we may take certain actions with respect to the timing and amounts of our distributions in order to preserve cash and maintain flexibility. For example, we may defer our dividends to the following taxable year. If we defer our dividends, we may choose to utilize the spillover dividend rules discussed above and incur the 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such amounts. To further preserve cash, we may combine these deferrals of dividends with one or more distributions that are payable partially in our Units as discussed below under “Stock Dividend Considerations.”

Stock Dividend Considerations

We may distribute taxable dividends that are payable in part in our Units. In accordance with certain applicable Treasury regulations and published guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service, a RIC may treat a distribution of its own shares as fulfilling the RIC distribution requirements if each shareholder may elect to receive his or her entire distribution in either cash or shares of the RIC. The IRS has published a revenue procedure indicating that, in the case of publicly offered RICs, this rule will apply where the total amount of cash to be distributed is not less than 20% (which has been temporarily reduced to 10% for distributions declared on or after April 1, 2020, and on or before December 31, 2020) of the total distribution. Under this revenue procedure, if too many unitholders elect to receive cash, the cash available for distribution must be allocated among the unitholders electing to receive cash (with the balance of the distribution paid in shares). In no event will any unitholder, electing to receive cash, receive less than the lesser of (a) the portion of the distribution such unitholder has elected to receive in cash or (b) an amount equal to his or her entire distribution times the percentage limitation on cash available for distribution. Because we are not currently a publicly offered RIC, our ability to rely on the revenue procedure and other guidance is uncertain. If elect to pay a distribution in our own Units consistent with the revenue procedure and other guidance, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of the dividend paid in Units will be equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of Units. Taxable Unitholders receiving such dividends will be required to include the amount of the dividends as ordinary income (or as long-term capital gain to the extent such distribution is properly reported as a capital gain dividend) to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. Unitholder may be required to pay tax with respect to such dividends in excess of any cash received. Furthermore, with respect tonon-U.S. Unitholders, we may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in Units.

Tax Considerations Regarding Dividends for Private BDCs

We do not currently qualify as a “publicly offered regulated investment company,” as defined in the Code. Accordingly, U.S. individual and other noncorporate Unitholders will be taxed as though they received a distribution of some of our expenses. A “publicly offered regulated investment company” is a RIC whose Units are either (i) continuously offered pursuant to a public offering, (ii) regularly traded on an established securities market, or (iii) held by at least 500 persons at all times during the taxable year. We anticipate that we will not qualify as a publicly offered RIC for the 2020 tax year, and we cannot determine when we will qualify as a publicly offered RIC. Since the Company is not a publicly offered RIC, anon-corporate Unitholder’s allocable portion of our affected expenses, including a portion of our management fees, will be treated as an additional distribution to the Unitholders. Anon-corporate Unitholder’s allocable portion of these expenses are treated as miscellaneous itemized deductions that are not currently deductible by such Unitholder (and beginning in 2026, will be deductible to such Unitholder only to the extent they exceed 2% of such Unitholder’s adjusted gross income), and are not deductible for alternative minimum tax purposes.
