*    Fair value as a percentpercentage of net assets.
(1)All debt investments are income producing, unless otherwise noted. Equity and any equity-linked investments are non-income producing, unless otherwise noted. The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") determined in good faith that all investments were valued at fair value in accordance with the Company's valuation policies and procedures and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") based on, among other things, the input of the Company's external investment adviser, Barings LLC ("Barings"), the Company’s Audit Committee and an independent valuation firm that has been engaged to assist in the valuation of the Company's senior secured, middle-market investments. In addition, all debt investments are variable rate investments unless otherwise noted. Index-based floating interest rates are generally subject to a contractual minimum interest rate. A majority of the variable rate loans in the Company's investment portfolio bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to LIBOR, EURIBOR, GBP LIBOR, STIBOR or an alternate Base Rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), which typically reset semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan.
(2)All of the Company’s portfolio company investments (including joint venture and short-term investments), which as of September 30, 2020 represented 212.2% of the Company’s net assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales. The acquisition date represents the date of the Company's initial investment in the relevant portfolio company.
(1)All debt investments are income producing, unless otherwise noted. Equity and equity-linked investments are non-income producing, unless otherwise noted. The fair values of all investments were determined using significant unobservable inputs.
(2)Disclosures of interest rates on notes include cash interest rates and payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest rates.
(3)All investments are restricted as to resale and were valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(4)Investment is not a qualifying investment as defined under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Non-qualifying assets represent 2.4% of total investments at fair value as of September 30, 2017. Qualifying assets must represent at least 70% of total assets at the time of acquisition of any additional non-qualifying assets. If at any time qualifying assets do not represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets, the Company will be precluded from acquiring any additional non-qualifying asset until such time as it complies with the requirements of Section 55(a).
(5)PIK non-accrual investment
(6)Non-accrual investment
(7)All of the Company's investments, unless otherwise noted, are encumbered either as security for the Company's senior secured credit facility or in support of the SBA-guaranteed debentures issued by Triangle Mezzanine Fund LLLP and Triangle Mezzanine Fund II LP.
(8)Index-based floating interest rate is subject to contractual minimum interest rate. A majority of the variable rate loans in the Company's investment portfolio bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR or an alternate Base Rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan.

Share Purchase Programs
On September 24, 2018, the Adviser entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Purchase Plan (the “10b5-1 Plan”) that qualified for the safe harbors provided by Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan, an independent broker made purchases of shares of the Company's common stock on the open market on behalf of the Adviser in accordance with purchase guidelines specified in the 10b5-1 Plan. The maximum aggregate purchase price of all shares purchased under the 10b5-1 Plan was $50.0 million. On February 11, 2019, the Adviser fulfilled its obligations under the 10b5-1 Plan to purchase an aggregate amount of $50.0 million in shares of the Company's common stock and the 10b5-1 Plan terminated in accordance with its terms.

The 2019 Share Repurchase Plan was designed to allow the Company to repurchase its shares both during its open window periods and at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under applicable insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. A broker selected by the Company was delegated the authority to repurchase shares on the Company's behalf in the open market, pursuant to, and under the terms and limitations of, the 2019 Share Repurchase Plan. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company repurchased a total of 895,733 shares and 1,865,522 shares, respectively, of its common stock in the open market under the Share Repurchase Plan at an average price of $9.93 per share and $9.94 per share, respectively, including broker commissions.
On February 27, 2020, the Board approved an open-market share repurchase program for the 2020 fiscal year (the “2020 Share Repurchase Program”). Under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized during fiscal year 2020 to repurchase up to a maximum of 5.0% of the amount of shares outstanding as of February 27, 2020 if shares trade below NAV per share, subject to liquidity and regulatory constraints.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
Advisory Agreement
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the Company's day-to-day operations and provides the Company with investment advisory services. Among other things, the Adviser (i) determines the composition of the portfolio of the Company, the nature and timing of the changes therein and the manner of implementing such changes; (ii) identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments made by the Company; (iii) executes, closes, services and monitors the investments that the Company makes; (iv) determines the securities and other assets that the Company will purchase, retain or sell; (v) performs due diligence on prospective portfolio companies and (vi) provides the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds.
The Advisory Agreement provides that, absent fraud, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, the Adviser, and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with the Adviser (collectively, the "IA Indemnified Parties"), are entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damages, liabilities, costs, demands, charges, claims and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) incurred by the IA Indemnified Parties in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of the Company or its security holders) arising out of any actions or omissions or otherwise based upon the performance of any of the Adviser’s duties or obligations under the Advisory Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Company. The Adviser’s services under the Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and the Adviser is generally free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its performance under the Advisory Agreement is not adversely affected.
The Adviser has entered into a personnel-sharing arrangement with its affiliate, Barings International Investment Limited ("BIIL"). BIIL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Baring Asset Management Limited, which in turn is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser. Pursuant to this arrangement, certain employees of BIIL may serve as "associated persons" of the Adviser and, in this capacity, subject to the oversight and supervision of the Adviser, may provide research and related services, and discretionary investment management and trading services (including acting as portfolio managers) to the Company on behalf of the Adviser. This arrangement is based on no-action letters of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that permit SEC-registered investment advisers to rely on and use the resources of advisory affiliates or "participating affiliates," subject to the supervision of that SEC-registered investment adviser. BIIL is a "participating affiliate" of the Adviser, and the BIIL employees are "associated persons" of the Adviser.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser (i) a base management fee (the "Base Management Fee") and (ii) an incentive fee (the "Incentive Fee") as compensation for the investment advisory and management services it provides the Company thereunder.
Base Management Fee
The Base Management Fee is calculated based on the Company’s gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds or other forms of leverage and excluding cash and cash equivalents, at an annual rate of 1.375%. The annual rate of the Base Management Fee was 1.0% for the period from August 2, 2018 through December 31, 2018, and was 1.125% for the period commencing on January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
The Base Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears on a calendar quarter basis. The Base Management Fee is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters prior to the quarter for which such fees are being calculated. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter are appropriately pro-rated.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Base Management Fee determined in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement was approximately $3.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Base Management Fee was approximately $3.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

Incentive Fee
The Incentive Fee is comprised of two parts: (1) a portion based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income (the "Income-Based Fee") and (2) a portion based on the net capital gains received on the Company’s portfolio of securities on a cumulative basis for each calendar year, net of all realized capital losses and all unrealized capital depreciation for that same calendar year (the "Capital Gains Fee").
The Income-Based Fee is calculated as follows:
(i)For each quarter from and after August 2, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the "Pre-2020 Period"), the Income-Based Fee was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter for which such fees were being calculated. In respect of the Pre-2020 Period, "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, managerial assistance and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the relevant calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for such quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, any interest expense and any dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
(ii)For each quarter beginning on and after January 1, 2020 (the "Post-2019 Period"), the Income-Based Fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter and the eleven preceding calendar quarters (or such fewer number of preceding calendar quarters counting each calendar quarter beginning on or after January 1, 2020) (each such period referred to as the "Trailing Twelve Quarters") for which such fees are being calculated and is payable promptly following the filing of the Company’s financial statements for such quarter. In respect of the Post-2019 Period, "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, managerial assistance and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters, minus the Company’s operating expenses for such Trailing Twelve Quarters (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, any interest expense and any dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee) divided by the number of quarters that comprise the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
(iii)Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less senior securities constituting indebtedness and preferred stock) at the end of the calendar quarter for which such fees are being calculated, is compared to a "hurdle rate", expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, of 2% per quarter (8% annualized). The Company pays the Adviser the Income-Based Fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in each calendar quarter as follows:
(1)(a) With respect to the Pre-2020 Period, no Income-Based Fee for any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (i) above) did not exceed the hurdle rate;
(b) With respect to the Post-2019 Period, no Income-Based Fee for any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above) does not exceed the hurdle rate;
(2)(a) With respect to the Pre-2020 Period, 100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (i) above) for any calendar quarter with respect to that portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for such quarter, if any, that exceeded the hurdle rate but was less than 2.5% (10% annualized) (the "Pre-2020 Catch-Up Amount"). The Pre-2020 Catch-Up Amount was intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as

defined in paragraph (i) above) when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (i) above) reached 2% per quarter (8% annualized);
(b) With respect to the Post-2019 Period, 100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above) with respect to that portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above), if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5% (10% annualized) (the "Post-2019 Catch-Up Amount"). The Post-2019 Catch-Up Amount is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above) when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above) reaches 2% per quarter (8% annualized);
(3)(a) With respect to the Pre-2020 Period, 20% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (i) above) for any calendar quarter with respect to that portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (i) above) for such quarter, if any, that exceeded the Pre-2020 Catch-Up Amount; and
(b) With respect to the Post-2019 Period, 20% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above) for any calendar quarter with respect to that portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above), if any, that exceeds the Post-2019 Catch-Up Amount.
However, with respect to the Post-2019 Period, the Income-Based Fee paid to the Adviser will not be in excess of the Incentive Fee Cap. With respect to the Post-2019 Period, the "Incentive Fee Cap" for any quarter is an amount equal to (a) 20% of the Cumulative Net Return (as defined below) during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (b) the aggregate Income-Based Fee that was paid in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters (or the portion thereof) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The Incentive Fee Cap is not subject to recoupment.
Cumulative Net Return means (x) the aggregate net investment income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (y) any Net Capital Loss (as defined below), if any, in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, the Company pays no Income-Based Fee to the Adviser for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is a positive value but is less than the Income-Based Fee that is payable to the Adviser for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Company pays an Income-Based Fee to the Adviser equal to the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is equal to or greater than the Income-Based Fee that is payable to the Adviser for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Company pays an Income-Based Fee to the Adviser equal to the Income-Based Fee calculated as described above for such quarter without regard to the Incentive Fee Cap.
Net Capital Loss in respect of a particular period means the difference, if positive, between (i) aggregate capital losses, whether realized or unrealized, in such period and (ii) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized, in such period.
The Capital Gains Fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement), and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (1) the sum of the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (2) the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from August 2, 2018. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the Capital Gains Fee payable for such year is equal to 20% of such amount, less the cumulative aggregate amount of Capital Gains Fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no Capital Gains Fee payable for such year. If the Advisory Agreement is terminated as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date will be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee. The Company did not pay any Incentive Fee for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019.
Payment of Company Expenses
Under the Advisory Agreement, all investment professionals of the Adviser and its staff, when and to the extent engaged in providing services required to be provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, and the compensation and routine overhead expenses of such personnel allocable to such services, are provided and paid for by the Adviser and not by the Company, except that all costs and expenses relating to the Company's operations and transactions, including, without limitation, those items listed in the Advisory Agreement, will be borne by the Company.

The Company may sell portions of its investments via assignment to Jocassee. Since inception, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had sold $107.1 million and $36.1 million, respectively, of its investments to Jocassee. The sale of the investments met the criteria set forth in ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing for treatment as a sale and satisfies the following conditions:
Assigned investments have been isolated from the Company, and put presumptively beyond the reach of the Company and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership;
each participant has the right to pledge or exchange the assigned investments it received, and no condition both constrains the participant from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a trivial benefit to the Company; and
the Company, its consolidated affiliates or its agents do not maintain effective control over the assigned investments through either: (i) an agreement that entitles and/or obligates the Company to repurchase or redeem the assets before maturity, or (ii) the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets, other than through a cleanup call.
The Company has determined that Jocassee is an investment company under ASC, Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, however, in accordance with such guidance, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a substantially wholly owned investment company subsidiary, which is an extension of the operations of the Company, or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. The Company does not consolidate its interest in Jocassee as it is not a substantially wholly owned investment company subsidiary. In addition, the Company does not control Jocassee due to the allocation of voting rights among Jocassee members.

The Company has a valuation policy, as well as established and documented processes and methodologies for determining the fair values of portfolio company investments on a recurring (at least quarterly) basis in accordance with the 1940 Act and FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC Topic 820"). The Company's current valuation policy and processes were established by the Adviser and have been approved by the Board.
Under ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller at the measurement date. For the Company’s portfolio securities, fair value is generally the amount that the Company might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of the security. Under ASC Topic 820, the fair value measurement assumes that the sale occurs in the principal market for the security, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the security. Under ASC Topic 820, if no market for the security exists or if the Company does not have access to the principal market, the security should be valued based on the sale occurring in a hypothetical market.
Under ASC Topic 820, there are three levels of valuation inputs, as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – include quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs – include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 Inputs – include inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument is categorized within the ASC Topic 820 valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input to the valuation process that is significant to the fair value measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, unrealized appreciation and depreciation related to such investments categorized as Level 3 investments within the tables below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The Company’s investment portfolio includes certain debt and equity instruments of privately held companies for which quoted prices or other inputs falling within the categories of Level 1 and Level 2 are generally not available. In such cases, the Company determines the fair value of its investments in good faith primarily using Level 3 inputs. In certain cases, quoted prices or other observable inputs exist, and the Company assesses the appropriateness of the use of these third-party quotes in determining fair value based on (i) its understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer and (ii) the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with the underlying performance of the portfolio company.
There is no single technique for determining fair value in good faith, as fair value depends upon the specific circumstances of each individual investment. The recorded fair values of the Company’s Level 3 investments may differ significantly from fair values that would have been used had an active market for the securities existed. In addition, changes in

Investment Valuation Process

The Adviser uses internal pricing models, in accordance with internal pricing procedures established by the 1940 ActAdviser's Pricing Committee, to price an asset in the event an acceptable price cannot be obtained from an approved external source.
The Adviser reviews its valuation methodologies on an ongoing basis and FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurementsupdates are made accordingly to meet changes in the marketplace. The Adviser has established internal controls to ensure its valuation process is operating in an effective manner. The Adviser (1) maintains valuation and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”). pricing procedures that describe the specific methodology used for valuation and (2) approves and documents exceptions and overrides of valuations. In addition, the Pricing Committee performs an annual review of valuation methodologies.
The Company's valuation policy and processes were established by management of the Company with the assistance of certain third-party advisors and were approved by the Board. Under ASC Topic 820, theremoney market fund investments are three levels of valuation inputs, as follows:
generally valued using Level 1 Inputs – include quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily comprised ofCompany's senior secured, middle-market, private debt and equity instruments of privately held companies for which quoted prices or other inputs falling within the categories of Level 1 and Level 2investments are generally not available. Therefore, the Company determines the fair value of its investments in good faith primarilyvalued using Level 3 inputs. In certain

cases, quoted prices or other observable inputs may exist, and if so, the Company assesses the appropriateness of the use of these third-party quotes in determining fair value based on (i) its understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer and (ii) the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with the underlying performance of the portfolio company.
Under ASC Topic 820, a financial instrument is categorized within the ASC Topic 820 valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input to the valuation process that is significant to the fair value measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, unrealized appreciation and depreciation related to such investments categorized as Level 3 investments within the tables below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).
There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith, as fair value depends upon the specific circumstances of each individual investment. The recorded fair values of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from fair values that would have been used had an active market for the securities existed. 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 valuations currently assigned.Independent Valuation Review
The Company’s valuation process is led by the Company’s executive officers. The Company’s valuation process begins with a quarterly review of each investment in the Company’s investment portfolio by the Company’s executive officers and investment committee. Valuations of each portfolio security are then prepared by the Company’s investment professionals, who have direct responsibility for the origination, management and monitoring of each investment. Under the Company’s valuation policy, each investment valuation is subject to (i) a review by the lead investment officer responsible for the portfolio company investment and (ii) a peer review by a second investment officer or executive officer of the Company. Generally, any investment that is valued below cost is subjected to review by one of the Company’s executive officers. After the peer review is complete, the Company engages twohas engaged an independent valuation firms, including Duff & Phelps, LLC (collectively, the “Valuation Firms”),firm to provide third-party reviews of certain investments, as described further below. Finally, the Board has the responsibility for reviewing and approving, in good faith, the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with the 1940 Act.
The Valuation Firms provide third-party valuation consulting services toat the Companyend of each fiscal quarter which consist of certain limited procedures that the Company identified and requested the Valuation Firmsvaluation firm to perform (hereinafter referred to as the “Procedures”"Procedures"). The Procedures generally consist of a review of the quarterly fair values of the Company's middle-market investments, and are generally performed with respect to each portfolio companymiddle-market investment at least once in every calendar year and for new portfolio companies,investments, at least once in the twelve-month period subsequent to the initial investment. In addition, the Procedures arewill generally be performed with respect to a portfolio company whenan investment where there has been a significant change in the fair value or performance of the investment. Prior to the first quarter of 2020, the Procedures were generally performed with respect to each investment every quarter beginning in the quarter after the investment was made. In certain instances, the Company may determine that it is not cost-effective, and as a result is not in the Company’s stockholders’stockholders' best interest,interests, to request the Valuation Firmsindependent valuation firm to perform the Procedures on one or more portfolio companies.certain investments. Such instances include, but are not limited to, situations where the fair value of the investment in the portfolio company is determined to be insignificant relative to the total investment portfolio.

Valuation Techniques
Investment Valuation Inputs
Under ASC Topic 820, fair value isThe Company's valuation techniques are based upon both observable and unobservable pricing inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller at the measurement date. For the Company’s portfolio securities, fair value is generally the amount that the Company might reasonably expect to receive upon the current saleCompany's market assumptions. The Company's assessment of the security. Under ASC Topic 820,significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement assumes thatin its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the sale occursfinancial instrument. The Company determines the estimated fair value of its loans and investments using primarily an income approach. Generally, an independent pricing service provider is the preferred source of pricing a loan, however, to the extent the independent pricing service provider price is unavailable or not relevant and reliable, the Company may use broker quotes. The Company attempts to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the principalmarketplace, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the security.
Market Approach
The Company values its syndicated senior secured loans and structured product investments using values provided by independent pricing services that have been approved by the Adviser's Pricing Committee. The prices received from these pricing service providers are based on yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, type, coupon and maturity and/or indications as to value from dealers and exchanges. The Company will seek to obtain two prices from the pricing services with one price representing the primary source and the other representing an independent control valuation. The Company evaluates the prices obtained from brokers or independent pricing service providers based on available market information, including trading activity of the subject or similar securities, or by performing a comparable security analysis to ensure that fair values are reasonably estimated. The Company also performs back-testing of valuation information obtained from independent pricing service providers and brokers against actual prices received in transactions. In addition to ongoing monitoring and back-testing, the Company performs due diligence procedures surrounding independent pricing service providers to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process.
Income Approach
The Company utilizes an Income Approach model in valuing its private debt investment portfolio, which consists primarily of middle-market senior secured loans with floating reference rates. As independent pricing service provider and broker quotes have not historically been consistently relevant and reliable, the fair value is determined using an internal index-based pricing model that takes into account both the movement in the spread of one or more performing credit indices as well as changes in the credit profile of the borrower. The implicit yield for each debt investment is calculated at the date the investment is made. This calculation takes into account the acquisition price (par less any upfront fee) and the relative maturity assumptions of the underlying asset. As of each balance sheet date, the implied yield for each investment is reassessed, taking into account changes in the discount margin of the baseline index, probabilities of default and any changes in the credit profile of the issuer of the security, orsuch as fluctuations in operating levels and leverage. If there is an observable price available on a comparable security/issuer, it is used to calibrate the absenceinternal model. If the valuation process for a particular debt investment results in a value above par, the value is typically capped at the greater of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the security. Under ASC Topic 820, if no market for the security exists or if the Company does not have access to the principal market, the security should be valued basedamount plus any prepayment penalty in effect or 100% of par on the sale occurring inbasis that a hypothetical market. The securities inmarket participant is likely unwilling to pay a greater amount than that at which the Company invests are generally only purchased and sold in merger and acquisition transactions, in which case the entire portfolio company is sold to a third-party purchaser. As a result, unless the Company has the ability to control such a transaction, the assumed principal market for the Company’s securities is a hypothetical secondary market. The Level 3 inputs to the Company’s valuation process reflect the Company’s best estimate of the assumptions that would be used by market participants in pricing the investment in a transaction in a hypothetical secondary market.borrower could refinance.
Enterprise Value Waterfall Approach
In valuing equity securities, (including warrants), the Company estimates fair value using an “Enterprise"Enterprise Value Waterfall”Waterfall" valuation model. The Company estimates the enterprise value of a portfolio company and then allocates the enterprise value to the portfolio company’s securities in order of their relative liquidation preference. In addition, the model assumes that any outstanding debt or other securities that are senior to the Company’s equity securities are required to be repaid at par. Generally, the waterfall proceeds flow from senior debt tranches of the capital structure to junior and subordinated debt, followed by each class or preferred stock and finally the common stock. Additionally, the Company estimatesmay estimate the fair value of a limited number of its debt securitiessecurity using the Enterprise Value Waterfall approach in cases wherewhen the Company does not expect to receive full repayment.

Barings BDC, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, the Company primarily uses a valuation model based on a transaction multiple, which generally is the original transaction multiple, and measures of the portfolio company’s financial performance. In addition, the Company considers other factors, including but not limited to (i) offers from third parties to purchase the portfolio company, (ii) the implied value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company, (iii) publicly available information regarding recent sales of private companies in comparable transactions and (iv) when the Company believes there are comparable companies that are publicly traded, the Company performs a review of these publicly traded companies and the market multiple of their equity securities. For certain non-performing assets, the Company may utilize the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company's assets in its estimation of enterprise value.

publicly traded debt. In addition, the Company uses a risk rating system to estimate the probability of default on the debt securities and the probability of loss if there is a default. This risk rating system covers both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the business and the securities held.
The Company considers the factors above, particularly any significant changes in the portfolio company’s results of operations and leverage, and develops an expectation of the yield that a hypothetical market participant would require when purchasing the debt investment (the “Required Rate of Return”). The Required Rate of Return, along with the Leverage Ratio and Adjusted EBITDA, are the significant Level 3 inputs to the Income Approach model. For investments where the Leverage Ratio and Adjusted EBITDA have not fluctuated significantly from the date the investment was made or have not fluctuated significantly from the Company’s expectations as of the date the investment was made, and where there have been no significant fluctuations in the market pricing for such investments, the Company may conclude that the Required Rate of Return is equal to the stated rate on the investment and therefore, the debt security is appropriately priced. In instances where the Company determines that the Required Rate of Return is different from the stated rate on the investment, the Company discounts the contractual cash flows on the debt instrument using the Required Rate of Return in order to estimate the fair value of the debt security.
Fair value measurements using the Income Approach model can be sensitive to changes in one or more of the inputs. Assuming all other inputs to the Income Approach model remain constant, any increase (decrease) in the Required Rate of Return or Leverage Ratio inputs for a particular debt security would result in a lower (higher) fair value for that security. Assuming all other inputs to the Income Approach model remain constant, any increase (decrease) in the Adjusted EBITDA input for a particular debt security would result in a higher (lower) fair value for that security.
The fair value of the Company’s royalty rights are calculated based on specific provisions contained in the pertinent operating or royalty agreements. The determination of the fair value of such royalty rights is not a significant component of the Company’s valuation process.
The ranges and weighted average values of the significant Level 3 inputs used in the valuation of the Company’s debt and equity securities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are summarized as follows:

As a result, unsettled purchases and sales are recorded as payables and receivables from unsettled transactions, respectively. While purchases and sales of the Company's syndicated senior secured loans generally settle on a T+7 basis, the settlement period will sometimes extend past the scheduled settlement. In such cases, the Company generally is contractually owed and recognizes interest income equal to the applicable margin ("spread") beginning on the Consolidated Schedules of Investments.
Warrants
When originating a debt security, the Company will sometimes receive warrants or other equity-related securities from the borrower. The Company determines the cost basisT+7 date. Such income is accrued as interest receivable and is collected upon settlement of the warrants or other equity-related securities received based upon their respective fair values on the date of receipt in proportion to the total fair value of the debt and warrants or other equity-related securities received. Any resulting difference between the face amount of the debt and its recorded fair value resulting from the assignment of value to the warrant or other equity instruments is treated as original issue discount and accreted into interest income over the life of the loan.investment transaction.
Realized Gain or Loss and Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation of Portfolio Investments
Realized gains or losses are recorded upon the sale or liquidation of investments and are calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or liquidation, if any, and the cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the difference between the fair value of the investments and the cost basis of the investments.

Thefuture. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is periodically added to the principal balance of the loan, rather than being paid to the Company in cash, and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of PIK interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment.
PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income at the time of recognition, is included in the Company’s taxable income and therefore affects the amount the Company is required to distribute to its stockholders to maintain its tax treatment as a regulated investment company ("RIC")RIC for federal income tax purposes, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. Generally, when current cash interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing PIK interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company writes off any accrued and uncollected PIK interest when it is determined that the PIK interest is no longer collectible.

Amounts include accrued PIK interest if the description of the security includes disclosure of a PIK interest rate.
(3)Gross additions include increase in the cost basis of investments resulting from new portfolio investments, follow-on investments and accrued PIK interest. Gross additions also include net increases in unrealized appreciation or net decreases in unrealized depreciation.
(4)Gross reductions include decreases in the total cost basis of investments resulting from principal or PIK repayments or sales. Gross reductions also include net increases in unrealized depreciation or net decreases in unrealized appreciation.
(5)Non-accrual investment
(6)Index-based floating interest rate is subject to contractual minimum interest rate. A majority of the variable rate loans in the Company's investment portfolio bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR or an alternate Base Rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan.
(7)During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, as a result of a balance sheet restructuring, Frank Entertainment Group, LLC moved from an affiliate investment to a control investment.

A majority of the variable rate loans in the Company's investment portfolio bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR or an alternate Base Rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan.

4. INCOME TAXES
The Company has elected for federal income tax purposes to be treated as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and intends to make the required distributions to its stockholders as specified therein. In order to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC, the Company must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then the Company is generally required to pay taxes only on the portion of its taxable income and gains it does not distribute (actually or constructively) and certain built-in gains. The Company has historically met its minimum distribution requirements and continually monitors its distribution requirements with the goal of ensuring compliance with the Code.
The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require the Company to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (“ICTI”("ICTI"), as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such excess. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.
ICTI generally differs from net investment income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. The Company may be required to recognize ICTI in certain circumstances in which it does not receive cash. For example, if the Company holds debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments issued with warrants), the Company must include in ICTI each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by the Company in the same taxable year. The Company may also have to include in ICTI other amounts that it has not yet received in cash, such as (i) PIK interest income and (ii) interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in the Company’s ICTI for the year of accrual, the Company may be required to make a distribution to its stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, even though the Company will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. ICTI also excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.
TheIn addition, the Company has certaina wholly-owned taxable subsidiariessubsidiary (the “Taxable Subsidiaries”Subsidiary”), each of which holds one or more of itscertain portfolio investments that are listed on the Unaudited and Audited Consolidated ScheduleSchedules of Investments. The Taxable Subsidiaries areSubsidiary is consolidated for financial reporting purposes, such that the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s investments in the portfolio companies owned by the Taxable Subsidiaries.Subsidiary. The purpose of the Taxable SubsidiariesSubsidiary is to permit the Company to hold certain portfolio companies that are organized as limited liability companies (“LLCs”)LLCs (or other forms of pass-through entities) and still satisfy the RIC tax requirement that at least 90% of the RIC’s gross revenue for income tax purposes must consist of qualifying investment income. Absent the Taxable Subsidiaries,Subsidiary, a proportionate amount of any gross income of an LLC (or other pass-through entity) portfolio investment would flow through directly to the RIC. To the extent that such income did not consist of qualifying investment income, it could jeopardize the Company’s ability to qualify as a RIC and therefore cause the Company to incur significant amounts of federal income taxes. When LLCs (or other pass-through entities) are owned by the Taxable Subsidiaries,Subsidiary, their income is taxed to the Taxable SubsidiariesSubsidiary and does not flow through to the RIC, thereby helping the Company preserve its RIC statustax treatment and resultant tax advantages. The Taxable Subsidiaries areSubsidiary is not consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense or benefit as a result of their ownership of the portfolio companies. This income tax expense or benefit is reflected in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, any unrealized appreciation related to portfolio investments held by the Taxable SubsidiariesSubsidiary (net of unrealized depreciation related to portfolio investments held by the Taxable Subsidiaries)Subsidiary) is reflected net of applicable federal and state income taxes in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations, with the related deferred tax assets or liabilities presentedincluded in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in the Company's Unaudited and Audited Consolidated Balance Sheet.Sheets.
For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned as of September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 20162019 was approximately $1.2 billion$1,132.2 million and $1.1 billion,$1,192.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, net unrealized depreciation on

the Company's investments (tax basis) was approximately $18.7 million, consisting of gross unrealized appreciation, where the fair value of the Company's investments exceeds their tax cost, of approximately $9.7 million and gross unrealized depreciation, where the tax cost of the Company's investments exceeds their fair value, of approximately $28.4 million. As of December 31, 2019, net unrealized depreciation on the Company's investments (tax basis) was approximately $20.1 million, consisting of gross unrealized appreciation, where the fair value of the Company's investments exceeds their tax cost, of approximately $2.5 million and gross unrealized depreciation, where the tax cost of the Company's investments exceeds their fair value, of approximately $22.6 million.

SBA-Guaranteed Debentures
Under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, and current SBA policy applicable to SBICs, an SBIC (or group of SBICs under common control) can have outstanding at any time, SBA-guaranteed debentures up to two times (and in certain cases, up to three times) the amount of its regulatory capital. As of September 30, 2017, the maximum statutory limit on the dollar amount of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures that can be issued by a single SBIC was $150.0 million and by a group of SBICs under common control was $350.0 million. As of September 30, 2017, Triangle SBIC had issued the maximum $150.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures and Triangle SBIC II had issued $100.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures, leaving borrowing capacity of a maximum of $100.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures for Triangle SBIC III. Interest payments on SBA-guaranteed debentures are payable semi-annually and there are no principal payments required on these debentures prior to maturity, nor do the debentures carry any prepayment penalties. The weighted average interest rate for all SBA-guaranteed debentures as of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was 3.90%. As of both September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019:

August 2018 Credit Facility
On July 3, 2018, the Company formed Barings BDC Senior Funding I, LLC, an indirectly wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company (“BSF”), the primary purpose of which was to function as the Company's special purpose, bankruptcy-remote, financing subsidiary. On August 3, 2018, BSF entered into the August 2018 Credit Facility (as subsequently amended in December 2018 and in February 2020) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent") and Class A-1 Lender, Société Générale, as Class A Lender, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, as sole lead arranger and sole book manager. BSF and the Administrative Agent also entered into a security agreement dated as of August 3, 2018 (the "Security Agreement") pursuant to which BSF’s obligations under the August 2018 Credit Facility were secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all SBA-guaranteed debentures were pooled.
of the assets of BSF, including its portfolio of investments (the "Pledged Property"). In additionconnection with the first-priority security interest established under the Security Agreement, all of the Pledged Property was held in the custody of State Street Bank and Trust Company, as collateral administrator (the "Collateral Administrator"). The Collateral Administrator maintained and performed certain collateral administration services with respect to the Pledged Property pursuant to a one-time 1.0% feecollateral administration agreement among BSF, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Administrator. Generally, the Collateral Administrator was authorized to make distributions and payments from Pledged Property based only on the total commitment fromwritten instructions of the SBA,Administrative Agent.
The August 2018 Credit Facility initially provided for borrowings in an aggregate amount up to $750.0 million, including up to $250.0 million borrowed under the Class A Loan Commitments and up to $500.0 million borrowed under the Class A-1 Loan Commitments. Effective February 28, 2019, the Company also pays a one-time 2.425% fee onreduced its Class A Loan Commitments to $100.0 million, which reduced total commitments under the amountAugust 2018 Credit Facility to $600.0 million. Effective May 9, 2019, the Company further reduced its Class A Loan Commitments under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $100.0 million to zero and reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $500.0 million to $300.0 million, which collectively reduced total commitments under the August 2018 Credit Facility to $300.0 million. Effective June 18, 2019, the Company further reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $300.0 million to $250.0 million. Effective August 14, 2019, the Company further reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $250.0 million to $177.0 million. Effective October 29, 2019, the Company further reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total

commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $177.0 million to $150.0 million. Effective January 21, 2020, the Company further reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $150.0 million to $80.0 million. Effective April 23, 2020, the Company further reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $80.0 million to $30.0 million. Finally, effective June 26, 2020, the Company further reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $30.0 million to zero. In connection with these reductions, the pro rata portion of each SBA-guaranteed debenture issued. These fees are capitalized as deferred financing costs and are amortized over the term of the debt agreements using the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of an SBA-guaranteed debenture, any unamortized deferred financing costs related to the SBA-guaranteed debenture areAugust 2018 Credit Facility was written off and recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the UnauditedCompany's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On February 21, 2020, the Company extended the maturity date of the August 2018 Credit Facility from August 3, 2020 to August 3, 2021. On June 30, 2020, following the repayment of all borrowings, interest, and fees payable thereunder and at the election of the Company, the August 2018 Credit Facility was terminated, including all commitments and obligations of Bank of America, N.A. to lend or make advances to BSF.

Borrowings under the August 2018 Credit Facility were subject to compliance with a borrowing base, pursuant to which the amount of funds advanced by the lenders to BSF would vary depending upon the types of assets in BSF’s portfolio. Assets were required to meet certain criteria to be included in the borrowing base, and the borrowing base was subject to certain portfolio restrictions including investment size, sector concentrations, investment type and credit ratings.
Under the August 2018 Credit Facility, BSF made certain representations and warranties and was required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for credit facilities of this nature. In addition to other customary events of default included in financing transactions, the August 2018 Credit Facility contained the following events of default: (a) the failure to make principal payments when due or interest payments within two business days of when due; (b) borrowings under the credit facility exceeding the applicable advance rates; (c) the purchase by BSF of certain ineligible assets; (d) the insolvency or bankruptcy of BSF; and (e) the decline of BSF’s NAV below a specified threshold.

Prior to the approval of the Omnibus Plan, the Company compensated its professionals through two separate plans: the Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), which provided for grants of restricted stock and options to employees, officers and directors, and the 2012 Executive Cash Incentive Plan (the "Cash Incentive Plan"), which provided for the payment of cash bonuses to employees and officers.

The Company accounts for its equity-based compensation using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation. Accordingly, for restricted stock awards, the Company measures the grant date fair value based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant and amortizes this fair value to compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period or vesting term.
The following table presents information with respect to equity-based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

In the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized equity-based compensation expense of approximately $1.6 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized equity-based compensation expense of approximately $7.5 million, $2.7 million of which related to the accelerated vesting of outstanding shares of restricted stock of the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, Garland S.

Contributions to the plan and earnings thereon generally vest ratably over a four-year period.
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan in which all full-time employees who are at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate and receive employer contributions.

The Company may,and certain of its former executive officers have been named as defendants in two putative securities class action lawsuits, each filed in the future,United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and then transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina) on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired our common stock between May 7, 2014 and November 1, 2017. The first lawsuit was filed on November 21, 2017, and was captioned Elias Dagher, et al., v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 5:18-cv-00015-FL (the “Dagher Action”). The second lawsuit was filed on November 28, 2017, and was captioned Gary W. Holden, et al., v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 5:18-cv-00010-FL (the “Holden Action”). The Dagher Action and the Holden Action were consolidated and are currently captioned In re Triangle Capital Corp. Securities Litigation, Master File No. 5:18-cv-00010-FL.

The complaint alleged certain violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s business, operations and prospects between May 7, 2014 and November 1, 2017. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, among other relief, but did not specify the amount of damages being sought.

On October 17, 2019, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal seeking review of the court’s September 20, 2019 order. The plaintiff filed its opening brief with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit on January 6, 2020. The defendants filed their response brief on February 28, 2020, and the plaintiff filed its reply brief on March 27, 2020.

9. MVC ACQUISITION
On August 10, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among MVC Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MVC”), Mustang Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”), and Barings. The Merger Agreement provides that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub will merge with and into MVC, with MVC continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First Step”) and, immediately thereafter, MVC will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (the “Second Step” and, together with the First Step, the “Merger”). The boards of directors of both the Company and MVC, including all of the respective independent directors, have approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein. The parties to the Merger Agreement intend the Merger to be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code of 1986.
In the First Step, each share of MVC common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Step (excluding any shares cancelled pursuant to the Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive (i) $0.39492 per share in cash, without interest, from Barings (such amount of cash, the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 0.94024 (the "Exchange Ratio," such ratio as may be adjusted pursuant to the Merger Agreement) of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Share Consideration” and together with the Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, total value of the consideration to be received by MVC stockholders at closing is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement and may be different than the estimated total consideration described herein depending on a number of factors, including the number of outstanding

Consummation of the First Step, which is currently anticipated to occur during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (1) adoption of the Merger Agreement by a majority of the outstanding shares of MVC's common stock, (2) approval of the issuance of the Company's common stock in the First Step by a majority of the votes cast by the Company's stockholders on the matter, (3) approval of the issuance of the Company’s common stock in connection with the First Step at a price below the then-current net asset value per share of the Company common stock, if applicable, by the vote specified in Section 63(2)(A) of the 1940 Act, as amended, (4) the absence of certain legal impediments to the consummation of the Merger, (5) effectiveness of the registration statement for the Company's common stock to be issued as consideration in the First Step, (6) approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the Company's common stock to be issued as consideration in the First Step, (7) subject to certain materiality standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties and compliance with the covenants of each party to the Merger Agreement, and (8) required regulatory approvals (including expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act")). Early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act was granted on September 30, 2020.
In addition, the Company and MVC will take steps necessary to provide for the repayment at closing of MVC’s credit facilities and the redemption or assumption of MVC’s 6.25% senior notes due November 30, 2022.
The Company is expected to account for the Merger as an asset acquisition in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business Combinations-Related Issues. Under asset acquisition accounting, acquiring assets in groups not only requires ascertaining the cost of the asset (or net assets), but also allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. Per ASC 805-50-30-1, the acquired assets (as a group) are recognized based on their cost to the acquiring entity, which generally includes transaction costs of the asset acquisition, and no gain or loss is recognized unless the fair value of noncash assets given as consideration differs from the assets carrying amounts on the acquiring entity’s records. ASC 805-50-30-2 goes on to say asset acquisitions in which the consideration given is cash are measured by the amount of cash paid. However, if the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of noncash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement is based on the cost to the acquiring entity or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measured.
If the fair value of the net assets to be acquired exceeds the fair value of the Merger Consideration to be paid by the Company, then the Company would recognize a deemed contribution from Barings in an amount up to approximately $7.0 million. If the fair value of net assets to be acquired exceeds the fair value of the Merger Consideration to be paid by the Company and by Barings, then the Company would also recognize a purchase accounting gain. Alternatively, if the fair value of the net assets to be acquired is less than the fair value of the portion of the Merger Consideration to be paid by the Company, then the Company would recognize a purchase accounting loss. The Company expects any potential gain or loss would be classified as unrealized on the statement of operations until the underlying assets are sold.
The cost of the group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition is allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values of net identifiable assets acquired other than “non-qualifying” assets (for example cash) and does not give rise to goodwill. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the Merger is completed and after completion of a final analysis to determine the estimated relative fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 2017,Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company invested $32.5made approximately $155.4 million of new commitments, of which $130.6 million closed and funded.

Overview of Our Business
We are a Maryland corporation incorporated on October 10, 2006. On August 2, 2018, we entered into an investment advisory agreement, or the Advisory Agreement, and an administration agreement, or the Administration Agreement, with Barings LLC, or Barings, and became an externally-managed BDC managed by Barings. An externally-managed BDC generally does not have any employees, and its investment and management functions are provided by an outside investment adviser and administrator under an advisory agreement and administration agreement. Instead of directly compensating employees, we pay Barings for investment and management services pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the fees paid to Barings for managing our affairs will be determined based upon an objective and fixed formula, as compared with the subjective and variable nature of the costs associated with employing management and employees in an internally-managed BDC structure, which has electedinclude bonuses that cannot be directly tied to be treated and operates as an internally managed business development company, or BDC,Company performance because of restrictions on incentive compensation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. Our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Triangle Mezzanine Fund LLLP, or Triangle SBIC, Triangle Mezzanine Fund II LP, or Triangle SBIC II

When Barings became our external investment adviser in August 2018, they initially focused our investments in syndicated senior secured loans, bonds and Triangle Mezzanine Fund III LP, or Triangle SBIC III, are licensed as small business investment companies, or SBICs, by the United States Small Business Administration, or SBA. In addition, Triangle SBICother fixed income securities. Since that time, Barings has also electedbeen transitioning our portfolio to be treated assenior secured private debt investments in middle-market businesses that operate across a BDCwide range of industries. Barings’ existing SEC co-investment exemptive relief under the 1940 Act. We, Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC IIAct, or the Exemptive Relief, permits us and Triangle SBIC III invest primarilyBarings’ affiliated private funds and SEC-registered funds to co-invest in Barings-originated loans, which allows Barings to efficiently implement its senior secured private debt instruments, equityinvestment strategy for us.
Barings employs fundamental credit analysis, and targets investments warrantsin businesses with relatively low levels of cyclicality and operating risk. The hold size of each position will generally be dependent upon a number of factors including total facility size, pricing and structure, and the number of other securities of lower middle market privately-held companies located primarilylenders in the United States.
Our business isfacility. Barings has experience managing levered vehicles, both public and private, and seeks to provide capital to lower middle market companies located primarily inenhance our returns through the United States. We focus on investments in companiesuse of leverage with a history of generating revenuesprudent approach that prioritizes capital preservation. Barings believes this strategy and positive cash flows, an establishedapproach offers attractive risk/return with lower volatility given the potential for fewer defaults and greater resilience through market position and a proven management team with a strong operating discipline. Our target portfolio company has annual revenues between $20.0 million and $300.0 million and annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, between $5.0 million and $75.0 million.
We invest in senior and subordinated debt securities of privately held companies, generally secured by security interests in portfolio company assets. In addition, we generally invest in one or more equity instruments of the borrower, such as direct preferred or common equity interests. Our investments generally range from $5.0 million to $50.0 million per portfolio company. In certain situations, we have partnered with other funds to provide larger financing commitments.


cycles.
We generate revenues in the form of interest income, primarily from our investments in debt securities, loan origination and other fees and dividend income. Fees generated in connection with our debt investments are recognized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method or, in some cases, recognized as earned. In addition, we generate revenue in the form of capital gains, if any, on warrants or other equity-related securities that we acquire from our portfolio companies. Our syndicated senior secured loans generally bear interest between LIBOR plus 300 basis points and LIBOR plus 400 points. Our senior secured, middle-market, private debt investments generally have a termterms of between threefive and seven years. In addition, our fixedOur senior secured, middle-market, private debt investments typicallygenerally bear interest between 10.0%LIBOR (or the applicable currency rate for investments in foreign currencies) plus 450 basis points and 15.0% per annum and our variable debt investments are generally LIBOR-based and typically bear interest between 8.0% and 13.0%LIBOR plus 650 basis points per annum. CertainFrom time to time, certain of our debt investments may have a form of interest, referred to as payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest, thatwhich is not paid currently but is instead accrued and added to the loan balance and paid at the end of the term. In our negotiations with potential portfolio companies, we generally seek to minimize PIK interest. Cash interest on our debt investments is generally payable monthly; however, some of our debt investments pay cash interest on a quarterly basis.
As of both September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the weighted average yield on the principal amount of our outstanding debt investments other than non-accrual debt investments was approximately 11.2% and 11.7%, respectively.6.2%. The weighted average yield on all of our outstanding investments (including equity and equity-linked investments but excluding non-accrual debt investments) was approximately 9.8% and 10.2% as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The weighted average yield onthe principal amount all of our outstanding investments (including equity and equity-linked investments and non-accrual debtshort-term investments) was approximately 8.3%5.0% and 9.7%5.8% as of September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016, respectively.2019, respectively
COVID-19 Developments
The weighted average yields across our investment portfolio dependspread of the Coronavirus and the COVID-19 pandemic, and the related effect on the relative seniorityU.S. and global economies, has had adverse consequences for the business operations of our investments within the capital structuressome of our portfolio companies and has adversely affected, and threatens to continue to adversely affect, our operations and the operations of Barings, including with respect to us. Barings has taken proactive steps around COVID-19 to address the potential impacts on their people, clients, communities and everyone they come in contact with, directly or through their premises. Protecting their employees and supporting the communities in which they live and work is a priority. Having performed stress-testing on their systems and processes, Barings was operating a 100% remote-working model across the United States, Europe and Australia. Over the past few months, Barings shifted to remote working and limited opening (inviting employees to return to the office on a volunteer basis only) and/or flexible working arrangements in Asia, Europe and U.S. sites, while maintaining service levels to partners and clients. Barings’ cybersecurity policies are applied consistently when working remotely or in the office.
While we have been carefully monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our security interests inbusiness and the business of our portfolio company assets. Historically, since our IPO in 2007,companies, we have primarily focused on investmentscontinued to fund our existing debt commitments. In addition, we have continued to make and originate, and expect to continue to make and originate, new loans.
We cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its duration in subordinated debt securities, which generally produce higher yields than more senior securities duethe United States and worldwide and the magnitude of the economic impact of the outbreak, including with respect to the risks inherenttravel restrictions, business closures and other quarantine measures imposed on service providers and other individuals by various local, state, and federal governmental authorities, as well as non-U.S. governmental authorities. Many public health experts have predicted that the COVID-19 pandemic will worsen in investingthe fall and winter months as people in less senior positions. Beginning in 2016,the U.S. spend more time indoors where the virus can spread more easily. As such, we beganare unable to shiftpredict the duration of any business and supply-chain disruptions, the extent to which COVID-19 will negatively affect our focus toward largerportfolio companies’ operating results or the impact that such disruptions may have on our results of operations and less cyclicalfinancial condition. Depending on the duration and extent of the disruption to the operations of our portfolio companies, we expect that certain portfolio companies will experience financial distress and began steeringpossibly default on their financial obligations to us and their other capital providers. We also expect that some of our portfolio composition with a focuscompanies may significantly curtail business operations, furlough or lay off employees and terminate service providers, and defer capital expenditures if subjected to prolonged and severe financial distress, which would likely impair their business on a balance between senior and subordinated securities. This shift toward more senior securities is intended to reduce our credit risks in exchange for lower-yielding investments, which in turn has resultedpermanent basis. These developments would likely result in a decrease in the weighted average yieldvalue of our investment in any such portfolio company.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the related disruption and financial distress experienced by our portfolio companies may have material adverse effects on our investment portfolio.income, particularly our interest income, received from our investments. In connection with the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may need to restructure our investments in some of our portfolio companies, which could result in reduced interest payments, an increase in the amount of PIK interest we receive, or result in permanent impairments on our investments. If we restructure a portfolio investment included in the borrowing base under the February 2019 Credit Facility in certain ways, including but not limited to a reduction in interest income received from any such investment or modification of a loan to accrue certain levels of PIK interest instead of cash, then such modifications could result in a reduction in the borrowing base under the February 2019 Credit Facility. In addition, if a portfolio investment included in the borrowing base under the February 2019 Credit Facility defaults on its obligations or if any such portfolio investment is placed on non-accrual, then there will be a reduction in the borrowing base under the February 2019 Credit Facility. Any reduction in the borrowing base under the February 2019 Credit Facility could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and available liquidity. In addition, any decreases in our net investment income would increase the portion of our cash flows dedicated to servicing our existing borrowings under the February 2019 Credit Facility, the Debt Securitization and the August 2025 Notes (each as defined below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources"). As a result, we continue this balanced strategy,may be required to reduce the amount of our distributions to stockholders. 
As of September 30, 2020, we are permitted under the 1940 Act, as a BDC, to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 150% after such borrowing. In addition, the February 2019 Credit Facility and the August 2025 Notes contains 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, 2020, we are in compliance with our asset coverage requirements under the percentage1940 Act. In addition, we are not in default under our credit facility as of September 30, 2020. However, any increase in unrealized depreciation of our investment portfolio that is comprised of senior debt investments increases, we expector further significant reductions in our investment-related risks to be mitigated to an extent, but we also expect the weighted average yields on our portfolio to continue to decrease.
Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC II and Triangle SBIC III are eligible to issue debentures to the SBA, which pools these with debentures of other SBICs and sells them in the capital markets at favorable interest rates, in partnet asset value as a result of the guaranteeeffects of paymentthe COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise increases the risk of breaching the relevant covenants, including those relating to minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum obligors’ net worth, and minimum asset coverage. If we fail to satisfy the covenants in the February 2019 Credit Facility or are unable to cure any event of default or obtain a waiver from the SBA. Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC IIapplicable lender, it could result in foreclosure by the lenders under the credit facility, which would accelerate our repayment obligations under the February 2019 Credit Facility and Triangle SBIC III invest these fundsthereby have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
We are also subject to financial risks, including changes in market interest rates. As of September 30, 2020, approximately $929.3 million (principal amount) of our debt portfolio companies. investments bore interest at variable rates, which generally are LIBOR-based (or based on an equivalent applicable currency rate), and many of which are subject to certain floors. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have reduced certain interest rates and LIBOR has decreased. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in LIBOR are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over LIBOR that we earn on any portfolio investments, a decrease in in our operating expenses, including with respect to our income incentive fee, or a decrease in the interest rate of our floating interest rate liabilities tied to LIBOR. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for an analysis of the impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.
We intend towill continue to operate Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC IImonitor the situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and Triangle SBIC IIIguidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our plan of operation. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, to the extent our portfolio companies are adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may have a material adverse impact on our future net investment income, the fair value of our portfolio investments, its financial condition and the results of operations and financial condition of our portfolio companies.

Interest and Other Financing Fees
Interest and other financing fees during the three months ended September 30, 2017, operating2020 were attributable to borrowings under the February 2019 Credit Facility, the Debt Securitization and the 2025 Notes (each as defined below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources"). Interest and other financing fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were attributable to borrowings under the August 2018 Credit Facility, the February 2019 Credit Facility, the Debt Securitization and the 2025 Notes. Interest and other financing fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were attributable to borrowings under the August 2018 Credit Facility, the February 2019 Credit Facility and the Debt Securitization. The decrease in interest and other financing fees for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to the decrease in interest rates as result of decreases in LIBOR, STIBOR, GBP LIBOR and EURIBOR, as well as a reduction in the applicable margin on borrowings under the February 2019 Credit Facility from 2.25% to 2.00% in July 2020 as a result of our investment grade credit rating.
Base Management Fees
Under the Advisory Agreement, we pay Barings a base management fee quarterly in arrears on a calendar quarter basis. The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of our gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters prior to the quarter for which such fees are being calculated. See Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the Advisory Agreement and the fee arrangement thereunder. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the amount of base management fee incurred was approximately $3.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the amount of base management fee incurred was approximately $3.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively. The increase between periods was primarily due to the increase in the base management fee rate to 1.375% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, as compared to 1.125% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, interest and other financing fees increased by 9.4% to $7.4 million from $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in interest and other financing fees was primarily related to increased borrowings under our third amended and restated senior secured credit facility, as amended on May 1, 2017, or the Credit Facility.
Compensation expenses are primarily influenced by headcount and levels of business activity. Our compensation expenses include salaries, discretionary compensation, equity-based compensation and benefits. Discretionary compensation is significantly impacted by our level of total investment income, our investment results including investment realizations, prevailing labor markets and the external environment. As a result of these and other factors, our compensation expenses can fluctuate materially from period to period. Accordingly, the amount of compensation expenses2020, we recognized in any particular period may not be indicative of compensation expenses in a future period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, compensation expenses increased by 9.1% to $4.3 million from $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, general and administrative expenses increased by 18.5% to $1.0 million from $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
In addition, our efficiency ratio (defined as the sum of compensation expenses and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total investment income) increased to 17.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 17.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
Net Investment Income
As a result of the $2.5 million increase in total investment income and the $1.2 million increase in operating expenses, net investment income increased by 8.3% to $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The net unrealized appreciation on our current portfolio of $29.7 million was driven primarily by the credit or fundamental performance of middle-market debt investments of $1.1 million, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on middle-market debt investments of $1.9 million and the broad market moves for the entire investment portfolio of $26.7 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded net unrealized appreciation totaling $65.8$1.6 million, consisting of net unrealized depreciation on our current portfolio of $74.5$48.1 million, net unrealized depreciation related to foreign currency transactions of $1.8 million and net unrealized appreciation reclassification adjustments of $8.8$51.4 million related to the net realized gainslosses on the sales / repayments of certain investments.

Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016
Investment Income
Forcertain syndicated secured loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, total investment income was $91.3 million, a 10.7% increase from $82.5 million of total investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in portfolio debt investments from September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2017 and a $1.9 million increase in non-recurring dividend income, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in non-recurring fee income, a decrease in PIK interest income due to a decrease in PIK yielding investments from September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2017 and a $5.1 million decrease in investment income relating to non-accrual assets and PIK non-accrual assets. Non-recurring fee income was $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net non-recurring dividend income was $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $(0.3) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Our net negative non-recurring dividend income during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 consisted of non-recurring dividend income of approximately $0.9 million and a negative true-up adjustment of $1.3 million related to a portfolio company distribution that was received in 2015. In 2015, we received information that indicated that the tax character of the distribution was 100% dividend income, but received updated information in 2016 indicating that only 14% of the distribution was dividend income and the remainder was a return of capital, which necessitated the adjustment.
Operating Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, operating expenses decreased by 9.2% to $37.0 million from $40.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Our operating expenses consist of interest and other financing fees, compensation expenses and general and administrative expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compensation expenses decreased by 30.6% to $12.1 million from $17.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The higher level of compensation expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily related to one-time expenses associated with the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer, Garland S. Tucker, III, from his officer positions in February 2016. Our Board of Directors awarded Mr. Tucker a $2.5 million cash bonus and accelerated the vesting of his outstanding shares of restricted stock, including 47,000 shares of restricted stock awarded to him in February 2016 based on his performance during 2015, and certain other compensation in connection with his retirement and in recognition of his long service. We recognized $5.5 million in one-time compensation expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 associated with Mr. Tucker's retirement.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, general and administrative expenses increased by 7.4% to $3.4 million from $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, we recorded net unrealized depreciationappreciation totaling $89.3$25.5 million, consisting of net unrealized depreciationappreciation on our current portfolio of $108.0$19.6 million, net unrealized appreciation related to foreign currency transactions of $0.4 million and net unrealized appreciation reclassification adjustments of $18.7$5.5 million related predominately to the net realized gains and losses noted above.

This "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section should be read in conjunction with "COVID-19 Developments" above.
In the future, depending on the valuation of Triangle SBIC’s assets, Triangle SBIC II's assets and Triangle SBIC III’s assets pursuant to SBA guidelines, Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC II and Triangle SBIC III may be limited by provisions of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, or the Small Business Investment Act, and SBA regulations governing SBICs, from making certain distributions to Triangle Capital Corporation that may be necessary to enable Triangle Capital Corporation to make the minimum required distributions to its stockholders and qualify as a regulated investment company, or RIC.

Financing Transactions
DueOn July 3, 2018, we formed Barings BDC Senior Funding I, LLC, an indirectly wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company, or BSF, the primary purpose of which was to Triangle SBIC’s, Triangle SBIC II'sfunction as our special purpose, bankruptcy-remote, financing subsidiary. On August 3, 2018, BSF entered into a credit facility, or the August 2018 Credit Facility (as subsequently amended in December 2018 and Triangle SBIC III’s statusFebruary 2020), with Bank of America, N.A., as licensed SBICs, Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC IIadministrative agent, or the Administrative Agent and Triangle SBIC III have the ability to issue debentures guaranteed by the SBA at favorable interest rates. Under the Small Business Investment ActClass A-1 Lender, Société Générale, as Class A Lender, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, as sole lead arranger and sole book manager. BSF and the SBA rules applicableAdministrative Agent also entered into a security agreement dated as of August 3, 2018, or the Security Agreement, pursuant to SBICs,which BSF’s obligations under the August 2018 Credit Facility were secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of BSF, including its portfolio of investments, or the Pledged Property. In connection with the first-priority security interest established under the Security Agreement, all of the Pledged Property was held in the custody of State Street Bank and Trust Company, as collateral administrator, or the Collateral Administrator. The Collateral Administrator maintained and performed certain collateral administration services with respect to the Pledged Property pursuant to a collateral administration agreement among BSF, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Administrator. Generally, the Collateral Administrator was authorized to make distributions and payments from Pledged Property based only on the written instructions of the Administrative Agent.
The August 2018 Credit Facility initially provided for borrowings in an SBIC (or group of SBICs under common control) can have outstanding at any time debentures guaranteed by the SBAaggregate amount up to two times (and in certain cases,$750.0 million, including up to three times)$250.0 million borrowed under the Class A Loan Commitments and up to $500.0 million borrowed under the Class A-1 Loan Commitments. Effective February 28, 2019, we reduced our Class A Loan Commitments to $100.0 million, which reduced total commitments under the August 2018 Credit Facility to $600.0 million. Effective May 9, 2019, we further reduced our Class A Loan Commitments under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $100.0 million to zero and reduced our Class A-1 Loan Commitments under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $500.0 million to $300.0 million, which collectively reduced total commitments under the August 2018 Credit Facility to $300.0 million. Effective June 18, 2019, we further reduced our Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $300.0 million to $250.0 million. Effective August 14, 2019, we further reduced our Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $250.0 million to $177.0 million. Effective October 29, 2019, we further reduced our Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $177.0 million to $150.0 million. Effective January 21, 2020, we further reduced our Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $150.0 million to $80.0 million. Effective April 23, 2020, we further reduced our Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $80.0 million to $30.0 million. Finally, effective June 26, 2020, we further reduced our Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $30.0 million to zero. In connection with these reductions, the pro rata portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the August 2018 Credit Facility was written off and recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On February 21, 2020, we extended the maturity date of the August 2018 Credit Facility from August 3, 2020 to August 3, 2021. On June 30, 2020, following the repayment of all borrowings, interest, and fees payable thereunder and at our election,

amountthe August 2018 Credit Facility was terminated, including all commitments and obligations of its regulatory capital, which generally isBank of America, N.A. to lend or make advances to BSF. In addition, the amount raised from private investors.Security Agreement was terminated and all security interests in the assets of BSF in favor of the lenders were terminated. As a result of these terminations, all obligations of BSF under the August 2018 Credit Facility and Security Agreement were fully discharged.
All borrowings under the August 2018 Credit Facility bore interest, subject to BSF’s election, on a per annum basis equal to (i) the applicable base rate plus the applicable spread or (ii) the applicable LIBOR rate plus the applicable spread. The maximum statutory limitapplicable base rate was equal to the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate or (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The applicable LIBOR rate depended on the dollar amount of outstanding debentures guaranteed by the SBA issued by a single SBIC is currently $150.0 million and by a group of SBICs under common control is $350.0 million. Debentures guaranteed by the SBA have a maturity of ten years, with interest payable semi-annually. The principal amountterm of the debentures is notborrowing under the August 2018 Credit Facility, which could be either one month or three months. BSF was required to be paid before maturity but may be prepaidpay commitment fees on the unused portion of the August 2018 Credit Facility. BSF could prepay any borrowing at any time without penalty. As a result of its guarantee of our SBA-guaranteed debentures, the SBA has fixed-dollar claims on the assets of Triangle SBIC, Triangle SBIC II and Triangle SBIC IIIpremium or penalty, except that are superiorBSF could have been liable for certain funding breakage fees if prepayments occurred prior to the claims of our security holders.
As of September 30, 2017, Triangle SBIC had issued the maximum $150.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures and Triangle SBIC II had issued $100.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures, leaving borrowing capacity of a maximum of $100.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures for Triangle SBIC III. In addition to the one-time 1.0% fee on the total commitment from the SBA, we also pay a one-time 2.425% fee on the amount of each debenture issued. These fees are capitalized as deferred financing costs and are amortized over the termexpiration of the debt agreements usingrelevant interest period.

Share Repurchases
On February 25, 2019, we adopted a share repurchase plan, pursuant to Board approval, for the purpose of repurchasing shares of our common stock in the open market during the 2019 fiscal year, or the 2019 Share Repurchase Plan. The Board authorized us to repurchase in 2019 up to a maximum of 5.0% of the amount of shares outstanding under the following targets:
a maximum of 2.5% of the amount of shares of our common stock outstanding if shares traded below NAV per share but in excess of 90% of NAV per share; and
a maximum of 5.0% of the amount of shares of our common stock outstanding if shares traded below 90% of NAV per share.
The 2019 Share Repurchase Plan was executed in accordance with applicable rules under the Exchange Act, including Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 thereunder, as well as certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the 2019 Share Repurchase Plan. The 2019 Share Repurchase Plan was designed to allow us to repurchase our shares both during our open window periods and at times when we otherwise might be prevented from doing so under applicable insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. A broker selected by us was delegated the SEC, (ii)authority to repurchase shares on our behalf in the open market, pursuant to, and under the terms and limitations of, the 2019 Share Repurchase Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased a requirementtotal of 1,865,522 shares of our common stock in the open market under the Share Repurchase Plan at an average price of $9.94 per share, including broker commissions.
On February 27, 2020, the Board approved an open-market share repurchase program for the 2020 fiscal year, or the 2020 Share Repurchase Program. Under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program, we are authorized during fiscal year 2020 to repurchase up to a maximum of 5.0% of the amount of shares outstanding as of February 27, 2020 if shares trade below NAV per share, subject to liquidity and regulatory constraints.
Purchases under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program may be made in open-market transactions and include transactions being executed by a broker selected us that has been delegated the authority to repurchase shares on our behalf in the open market in accordance with applicable rules under the Exchange Act, including Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 thereunder, and pursuant to, and under the terms and limitations of, the 2020 Share Repurchase Program. There is no assurance that we will not declarepurchase shares at any cash dividend,specific discount levels or declarein any other cash distribution, uponspecific amounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased a classtotal of 989,050 shares of our capitalcommon stock or purchase any such capital stock, unless, in every such case, at the time of the declaration of any such dividend or distribution, or at the time of any such purchase, we have an asset coverage (as defined in the 1940 Act) of at least 200% after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or purchase price, as the case may be, giving effect to any exemptive relief granted to us by the SEC, and (iii) a requirement that we provide financial information to the holders of the notes and the trusteeopen market under the indenture if we should no longer be subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act2020 Share Repurchase Program at an average price of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants of the December 2022 Notes and the March 2022 Notes.$7.21 per share, including broker commissions.
Distributions to Stockholders
We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and intend to make the required distributions to our stockholders as specified therein. In order to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC and to obtain RIC tax benefits, we must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then we are generally required to pay income taxes only on the portion of our taxable income and gains we do not distribute (actually or constructively) and certain built-in gains. We have historically met our minimum distribution requirements and continually monitor our distribution requirements with the goal of ensuring compliance with the Code. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will permit the payment of any level of cash distributions and our ability to make distributions will be limited by the asset coverage requirement and related provisions under the 1940 Act and contained in theany applicable indenture and related supplements governingsupplements. In addition, in order to satisfy the annual distribution requirement applicable to RICs, we may declare a significant portion of our dividends in shares of our common stock instead of in cash. As long as a portion of such dividend is paid in cash (which portion may be as low as 10% of such dividend, for dividends declared on or before December 2022 Notes31, 2020, and after that, 20% of such dividend under published guidance from the March 2022 Notes.Internal Revenue Service) and certain requirements are met, the entire distribution will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a stockholder generally would be subject to tax on 100% of the fair market value of the dividend on the date the dividend is received by the stockholder in the same manner as a cash dividend, even though most of the dividend was paid in shares of our common stock.
The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require us to distribute to our stockholders each year at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, or ICTI, as defined by the Code. Depending on the level of ICTI and net capital gain, if any, earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward ICTIincome in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such excess. Any such carryover ICTIincome must be distributed before the end of the next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.income.
69


ICTI generally differs from net investment income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. We may be required to recognize ICTI in certain circumstances in which we do not receive cash. For example, if we hold debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments issued with warrants), we must include in ICTI each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by us in the same taxable year. We may also have to include in ICTI other amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as (i) PIK interest income and (ii) interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in our ICTI for the year of accrual, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, even though we will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. ICTI also excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.
Recent Developments
Subsequent to September 30, 2020, we made approximately $155.4 million of new commitments, of which $130.6 million closed and funded. The $130.6 million of investments consist of $128.5 million of first lien senior secured debt investments and a $2.1 million second lien senior secured term loan with a combined weighted average yield of 6.2%. In addition, we funded $8.7 million of previously committed delayed draw term loans.

On November 4, 2020,we invested $32.5entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “November NPA”) governing the issuance of (1) $62.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Series B senior unsecured notes (“Series B Notes”) due November 2025 with a fixed interest of 4.25% per year and (2) $112.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Series C senior unsecured notes (“Series C Notes” and, collectively with the Series B Notes, the “November Notes”) due November 2027 with a fixed interest of 4.75% per year, in each case, to qualified institutional investors in a private placement. Each stated interest rate is subject to a step up of (x) 0.75% per year, to the extent the applicable November Notes do not satisfy certain investment grade conditions and/or (y) 1.50% per year, to the extent the ratio of secured debt securityto total assets exceeds specified thresholds, measured as of Deva Holdings, Inc. Undereach fiscal quarter end. The November Notes were delivered and paid for on November 5, 2020. The Series B Notes will mature on November 4, 2025 and the termsSeries C Notes will mature on November 4, 2027 unless redeemed, purchased or prepaid prior to such date by us or its affiliates in accordance with their terms. Interest on the November Notes will be due semiannually. In addition, we are obligated to offer to repay the November Notes at par if certain change in control events occur. The August 2025 Notes will be our general unsecured obligations that rank pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by us.
In connection with the November NPA, also on November 4, 2020, we amended the Note Purchase Agreement entered into on August 3, 2020 to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the investment, the debt security bears interest atunissued Additional Notes from $50.0 million to $25.0 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods covered by such financial statements. We have identified investment valuation and revenue recognition as our most critical accounting estimates. On an on-goingongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the matters described below. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A discussion of our critical accounting policies follows.
Investment Valuation
The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of our financial statements is the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. We have a valuation policy, as well as established and documented processes and methodologies for determining the fair values of portfolio company investments on a
70


recurring (quarterly)(at least quarterly) basis in accordance with the 1940 Act and FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC Topic 820. Our current valuation policy and processes were established by our management with the assistance of certain third-party advisorsBarings and were approved by the Board.
Under ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller at the measurement date. For our portfolio securities, fair value is generally the amount that we might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of the security. The fair value measurement assumes that the sale occurs in the principal market for the security, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the security. If no market for the security exists or if we do not have access to the principal market, the security should be valued based on the sale occurring in a hypothetical market.
Under ASC Topic 820, there are three levels of valuation inputs, as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – include quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs – include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 Inputs – include inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Our investment portfolio is primarily comprised of debt and equity instruments of privately held companies for which quoted prices or other inputs falling within the categories of Level 1 and Level 2 are generally not available. Therefore, we determine the fair value of our investments in good faith primarily using Level 3 inputs. In certain cases, quoted prices or other observable inputs may exist, and if so, we assess the appropriateness of the use of these third-party quotes in determining fair value based on (i) our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer and (ii) the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with underlying performance of the portfolio company.
Under ASC Topic 820, aA financial instrument is categorized within the ASC Topic 820 valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input to the valuation process that is significant to the fair value measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, unrealized appreciation and depreciation related to such investments categorized as Level 3 investments within the tables below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).
Our investment portfolio includes certain debt and equity instruments of privately held companies for which quoted prices or other inputs falling within the categories of Level 1 and Level 2 are generally not available. In such cases, we determine the fair value of our investments in good faith primarily using Level 3 inputs. In certain cases, quoted prices or other observable inputs exist, and if so, we assess the appropriateness of the use of these third-party quotes in determining fair value based on (i) our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer and (ii) the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with underlying performance of the portfolio company.
There is no single standardtechnique for determining fair value in good faith, as fair value depends upon the specific circumstances of each individual investment. The recorded fair values of our Level 3 investments may differ significantly from fair values that would have been used had an active market for the securities existed. 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 valuations currently assigned.
OurInvestment Valuation Process
Barings has established a Pricing Committee that is, subject to the oversight of the Board, responsible for the approval, implementation and oversight of the processes and methodologies that relate to the pricing and valuation of assets we hold. Barings uses internal pricing models, in accordance with internal pricing procedures established by the Pricing Committee, to price an asset in the event an acceptable price cannot be obtained from an approved external source.
Barings reviews its valuation methodologies on an ongoing basis and updates are made accordingly to meet changes in the marketplace. Barings has established internal controls to ensure its valuation process is led by our executive officers. Theoperating in an effective manner. Barings (1) maintains valuation process begins with a quarterlyand pricing procedures that describe the specific methodology used for valuation and (2) approves and documents exceptions and overrides of valuations. In addition, the Pricing Committee performs an annual review of each investment in our investment portfolio by our executive officersvaluation methodologies.
Our money market fund investments are generally valued using Level 1 inputs and our investment committee. Valuations of each portfolio securitysyndicated senior secured loans and structured product investments are then prepared by our investment professionals, whogenerally valued using Level 2 inputs. Our senior secured, middle-market, private debt investments are generally valued using Level 3 inputs.

Independent Valuation Review
We have direct responsibility for the origination, management and monitoring of each investment. Under our valuation policy, each investment valuation is subject to (i) a review by the lead investment officer responsible for the portfolio company investment and (ii) a peer review by a second investment officer or executive officer. Generally, any investment that is valued below cost is subjected to review by one of our executive officers. After the peer review is complete, we engage twoengaged an independent valuation firms, including Duff & Phelps, LLC, collectively referredfirm to as the Valuation Firms, to provide third-party reviews of certain investments, as described further below. Finally, the Board has the responsibility for reviewing and approving, in good faith, the fair value of our investments in accordance with the 1940 Act.
The Valuation Firms provide third-party valuation consulting services to usat the end of each fiscal quarter, which consist of certain limited procedures that we identified and requested the Valuation Firmsvaluation firm to perform which we refer(hereinafter referred to herein as the Procedures."Procedures"). The Procedures generally consist of a review of the quarterly fair values of our middle-market investments, and are generally performed with respect to each portfolio companymiddle-market investment at least once in every calendar year and for new portfolio companies,investments, at least


once in the twelve-month period subsequent to the initial investment. In addition, the Procedures arewill generally be performed with respect to a portfolio company whenan investment where there has been a significant change in the fair value or performance of the investment. Prior to the first quarter of 2020, the Procedures were generally performed with respect to each investment every quarter beginning in the quarter after the investment was made. In certain instances, we may determine that it is not cost-effective, and as a result is not in our stockholders’the stockholders' best interest,interests, to request the Valuation Firmsindependent valuation firm to perform the Procedures on one or more portfolio companies.certain investments. Such instances include, but are not limited to, situations where the fair value of the investment in the portfolio company is determined to be insignificant relative to the total investment portfolio.
The total number of senior secured, middle-market investments and the percentage of our total senior secured, middle-market investment portfolio on which the Procedures were performed are summarized below by period:

TheFinally, the Board is ultimately responsible for determiningdetermined in good faith that our investments were valued at fair value in accordance with our valuation policies and procedures and the 1940 Act based on, among other things, the input of Barings, our Audit Committee and the independent valuation firm.
Valuation Techniques
Our valuation techniques are based upon both observable and unobservable pricing inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. We determine the estimated fair value of our loans and investments using primarily an income approach. Generally, an independent pricing service provider is the preferred source of pricing a loan, however, to the extent the independent pricing service provider price is unavailable or not relevant and reliable, we may use broker quotes. We attempt to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in good faith.the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security.
Investment Valuation Inputs
72


Under ASC Topic 820,Market Approach
We value our syndicated senior secured loans and structured product investments using values provided by independent pricing services that have been approved by the Barings' Pricing Committee. The prices received from these pricing service providers are based on yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, type, coupon and maturity and/or indications as to value from dealers and exchanges. We seek to obtain two prices from the pricing services with one price representing the primary source and the other representing an independent control valuation. We evaluate the prices obtained from brokers or independent pricing service providers based on available market information, including trading activity of the subject or similar securities, or by performing a comparable security analysis to ensure that fair values are reasonably estimated. We also perform back-testing of valuation information obtained from independent pricing service providers and brokers against actual prices received in transactions. In addition to ongoing monitoring and back-testing, we perform due diligence procedures surrounding independent pricing service providers to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process.
Income Approach
We utilize an Income Approach model in valuing our private debt investment portfolio, which consists primarily of middle-market senior secured loans with floating reference rates. As independent pricing service provider and broker quotes have not historically been consistently relevant and reliable, the fair value is determined using an internal index-based pricing model that takes into account both the price that would be received to sell an assetmovement in the spread of one or paid to transfer a liabilitymore performing credit indices as well as changes in an orderly transaction between a willing buyer and a willing sellerthe credit profile of the borrower. The implicit yield for each debt investment is calculated at the measurement date. For our portfolio securities, fairdate the investment is made. This calculation takes into account the acquisition price (par less any upfront fee) and the relative maturity assumptions of the underlying asset. As of each balance sheet date, the implied yield for each investment is reassessed, taking into account changes in the discount margin of the baseline index, probabilities of default and any changes in the credit profile of the issuer of the security, such as fluctuations in operating levels and leverage. If there is an observable price available on a comparable security/issuer, it is used to calibrate the internal model. If the valuation process for a particular debt investment results in a value above par, the value is generallytypically capped at the amount that we might reasonably expect to receive upon the current salegreater of the security. Under ASC Topic 820, the fair value measurement assumes that the sale occursprincipal amount plus any prepayment penalty in the principal market for the security,effect or in the absence100% of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the security. Under ASC Topic 820, if no market for the security exists or if we do not have access to the principal market, the security should be valued basedpar on the sale occurring inbasis that a hypothetical market. The securities inmarket participant is likely unwilling to pay a greater amount than that at which we invest are generally only purchased and sold in merger and acquisition transactions, in which case the entire portfolio company is sold to a third-party purchaser. As a result, unless we have the ability to control such a transaction, the assumed principal market for our securities is a hypothetical secondary market. The Level 3 inputs to our valuation process reflect management’s best estimate of the assumptions that would be used by market participants in pricing the investment in a transaction in a hypothetical secondary market.borrower could refinance.
Enterprise Value Waterfall Approach
In valuing equity securities, (including warrants), we estimate fair value using an “Enterprise"Enterprise Value Waterfall”Waterfall" valuation model. We estimate the enterprise value of a portfolio company and then allocate the enterprise value to the portfolio company’s securities in order of their relative liquidation preference. In addition, the model assumes that any outstanding debt or other securities that are senior to our equity securities are required to be repaid at par. Generally, the waterfall proceeds flow from senior debt tranches of the capital structure to junior and subordinated debt, followed by each class or preferred stock and finally the common stock. Additionally, we may estimate the fair value of a limited number of our debt securitiessecurity using the Enterprise Value Waterfall approach in cases wherewhen we do not expect to receive full repayment.
To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we primarily use a valuation model based on a transaction multiple, which generally is the original transaction multiple, and measures of the portfolio company’s financial performance. In addition, we consider other factors, including but not limited to (i) offers from third parties to purchase the portfolio company, (ii) the implied value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company, (iii) publicly available information regarding recent sales of private companies in comparable transactions and (iv) when management believes there are comparable companies that are publicly traded, we perform a review of these publicly traded companies and the market multiple of their equity securities. For certain non-performing assets, we may utilize the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company's assets in our estimation of enterprise value.
The significant Level 3 inputs to the Enterprise Value Waterfall model are (i) an appropriate transaction multiple and (ii) a measureValuation of the portfolio company’s financial performance, which generally is either earnings before interest, taxes,


depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, or Adjusted EBITDA, or revenues. Such inputs can be based on historical operating results, projections of future operating results or a combination thereof. The operating results of a portfolio company may be unaudited, projected or pro forma financial information and may require adjustments for certain non-recurring items. In determining the operating results input, we utilize the most recent portfolio company financial statements and forecasts available as of the valuation date. Management also consults with the portfolio company’s senior management to obtain updates on the portfolio company’s performance, including information such as industry trends, new product development, loss of customers and other operational issues. Additionally, we consider some or all of the following factors:
financial standing of the issuer of the security;
comparison of the business and financial plan of the issuer with actual results;
the size of the security held;
pending reorganization activity affecting the issuer, such as merger or debt restructuring;
ability of the issuer to obtain needed financing;
changesInvestment in the economy affecting the issuer;
financial statements and reports from portfolio company senior management and ownership;
the type of security, the security’s cost at the date of purchase and any contractual restrictions on the disposition of the security;
information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security and/or sales to third parties of similar securities;
the issuer’s ability to make payments and the type of collateral;
the current and forecasted earnings of the issuer;
statistical ratios compared to lending standards and to other similar securities; 
pending public offering of common stock by the issuer of the security;
special reports prepared by analysts; and
any other factors we deem pertinent with respect to a particular investment.
Fair value measurements using the Enterprise Value Waterfall model can be sensitive to changes in one or more of the inputs. Assuming all other inputs to the Enterprise Value Waterfall model remain constant, any increase (decrease) in either the transaction multiple, Adjusted EBITDA or revenues for a particular equity security would result in a higher (lower) fair value for that security.
Income Approach
In valuing debt securities, we utilize an “Income Approach” model that considers factors including, but not limited to, (i) the stated yield on the debt security, (ii) the portfolio company’s current Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the portfolio company’s historical or projected Adjusted EBITDA as of the date the investment was made and the portfolio company’s anticipated Adjusted EBITDA for the next twelve months of operations, (iii) the portfolio company’s current Leverage Ratio (defined as the portfolio company’s total indebtedness divided by Adjusted EBITDA) as compared to its Leverage Ratio as of the date the investment was made, (iv) publicly available information regarding current pricing and credit metrics for similar proposed and executed investment transactions of private companies and (v) when management believes a relevant comparison exists, current pricing and credit metrics for similar proposed and executed investment transactions of publicly traded debt. In addition, we use a risk rating system to estimate the probability of default on the debt securities and the probability of loss if there is a default. This risk rating system covers both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the business and the securities held.Jocassee
We consider the factors above, particularly any significant changes in the portfolio company’s results of operations and leverage, and develop an expectation of the yield that a hypothetical market participant would require when purchasing the debt investment, which we refer to herein as the Required Rate of Return. The Required Rate of Return, along with the Leverage Ratio and Adjusted EBITDA, are the significant Level 3 inputs to the Income Approach model. For investments where the Leverage Ratio and Adjusted EBITDA have not fluctuated significantly from the date the investment was made or have not fluctuated significantly from management’s expectations as of the date the investment was made, and where there have been no significant fluctuations in the market pricing for such investments, we may conclude that the Required Rate of Return is equal to the stated rate on the investment and therefore, the debt security is appropriately priced. In instances where we determine


that the Required Rate of Return is different from the stated rate on the investment, we discount the contractual cash flows on the debt instrument using the Required Rate of Return in order to estimate the fair value of the debt security.

The net asset value of Jocassee is determined in one or moreaccordance with the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies.

Revenue Recognition
InterestThompson Rivers LLC and Dividend Income
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of original issue discount, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible.ownership percentage. The cessation of recognition of such interest will negatively impact the reported fairnet asset value of the investment. We write off any previously accrued and uncollected interest when itThompson Rivers LLC is determined that interest is no longer considered collectible. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
We may have to include in our ICTI interest income, including original issue discount income, from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. As a result, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements to maintain our RIC tax treatment, even though we will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. Additionally, any loss recognized by us for U.S. federal income tax purposes on previously accrued interest income will be treated as a capital loss.
Fee Income
Origination, facility, commitment, consent and other advance fees received in connectionaccordance with the origination of a loan, or Loan Origination Fees, are recorded as deferred income and recognized asspecialized accounting guidance for investment income over the term of the loan. Upon prepayment of a loan, any unamortized Loan Origination Fees are recorded as investment income. In the general course of our business, we receive certain fees from portfolio companies, which are non-recurring in nature. Such fees include loan prepayment penalties, structuring fees and loan waiver and amendment fees, and are recorded as investment income when earned.companies.
Payment-in-Kind (PIK) Interest Income
73

We currently hold, and we expect to hold in the future, some loans in our portfolio that contain PIK interest provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is periodically added to the principal balance of the loan, rather than being paid to us in cash, and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of PIK interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment.

PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income at the time of recognition, is included in our taxable income and therefore affects the amount we are required to distribute to our stockholders to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, even though we have not yet collected the cash. Generally, when current cash interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing PIK interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. We write off any previously accrued and uncollected PIK interest when it is determined that the PIK interest is no longer collectible.
We may have to include in our ICTI, PIK interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. As a result, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy


the minimum distribution requirements, even though we will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, consisting primarily of unused commitments to extend financing to our portfolio companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are subject to market risk. Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. The prices of securities held by us may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies we invest in; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; legislative reform; local, regional, national or global political, social or economic instability; and interest rate fluctuations.
In addition, weU.S. and global capital markets and credit markets have experienced a higher level of stress due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in an increase in the level of volatility across such markets and a general decline in the value of the securities held by us. Our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risk, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks.
We are also subject to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, variability of spread relationships, the difference in re-pricing intervals between our assets and liabilities and the effect that interest rates may have on our cash flows. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest earning assets and our interest expense incurred in connection with our interest bearing debt and liabilities. Changes in interest rates can also affect, among other things, our ability to acquire and originate loans and securities and the value of our investment portfolio. Our net investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including LIBOR, Canadian Dealer Offered RateGBP LIBOR, EURIBOR, STIBOR and prime rates. Our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risk, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks.CDOR. We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk and determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2017,2020, we were not a party to any interest rate hedging arrangements.
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have reduced certain interest rates and LIBOR has decreased. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in LIBOR are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over LIBOR that we earn on any portfolio investments, a decrease in in our operating expenses, including with respect to our income incentive fee, or a decrease in the interest rate of our floating interest rate liabilities tied to LIBOR.
As of September 30, 2017, 55.3%, or $610.02020, approximately $929.3 million (at cost), of our debt portfolio investments bore interest at fixed rates and 44.7%, or $493.2 million (at cost), (principal amount) of our debt portfolio investments bore interest at variable rates, which generally are LIBOR-based (or based on an equivalent applicable currency rate), and many of which are subject to certain floors. A hypothetical 200 basis point increase or decrease in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt investments could increase or decrease, as applicable, our investment income by a maximum of $9.9$18.6 million on an annual basis. All of our SBA-guaranteed debentures, our December 2022 Notes and our March 2022 Notes bear interest at fixed rates. Our

The Class A-1 2019 Notes and the Class A-2 2019 Notes issued in connection with the Debt Securitization had floating rate interest provisions based on the three-month LIBOR that reset quarterly. On October 15, 2020, the 2019 Notes were repaid in full.
In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced the desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There is currently no definitive information regarding the future utilization of LIBOR or of any particular replacement rate. As such, 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.
Because we currently borrow,have previously borrowed, and plan to borrow in the future, money to make investments, our net investment income iswill be dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest the funds borrowed. Accordingly, 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 periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income if there is not a corresponding increase in interest income generated by our investment portfolio.

We may also have exposure to foreign currencies (currently the Canadian dollar) related to certain investments. Such investments are translated into United StatesU.S. dollars based on the spot rate at eachthe relevant balance sheet date, exposing us to movements in the exchange rate. In order to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates, we generally borrow in Canadian dollarslocal foreign currencies under ourthe February 2019 Credit Facility to finance such investments. As of September 30, 2017,2020, we had non-United States dollar borrowings denominated in Canadian dollarsSwedish kronas of $21.012.8kr million ($16.81.4 million United StatesU.S. dollars) outstanding under the Credit Facilitywith an interest rate of 2.00%, borrowings denominated in British pounds sterling of £40.3 million ($52.1 million U.S. dollars) with a weighted average interest rate of 4.06%2.06% and borrowings denominated in Euros of €72.6 million ($85.1 million U.S. dollars) with a weighted average interest rate of 2.00%.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. It should be noted that any system of controls,


however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 20172020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
NeitherWe and certain of our former executive officers have been named as defendants in two putative securities class action lawsuits, each filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and then transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina) on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired our common stock between May 7, 2014 and November 1, 2017. The first lawsuit was filed on November 21, 2017, and was captioned Elias Dagher, et al., v. Triangle Capital Corporation, nor anyet al., Case No. 5:18-cv-00015-FL (the “Dagher Action”). The second lawsuit was filed on November 28, 2017, and was captioned Gary W. Holden, et al., v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al., Case No. 5:18-cv-00010-FL (the “Holden Action”). The Dagher Action and the Holden Action were consolidated and are currently captioned In re Triangle Capital Corp. Securities Litigation, Master File No. 5:18-cv-00010-FL.
On April 10, 2018, the plaintiff filed its First Consolidated Amended Complaint. The complaint alleged certain violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding our business, operations and prospects between May 7, 2014 and November 1, 2017. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, among other relief, but did not specify the amount of damages being sought. On May 25, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On March 7, 2019, the court entered an order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss. On March 28, 2019, the plaintiff filed a motion seeking leave to file a Second Consolidated Amended Complaint. On September 20, 2019, the court entered an order denying the plaintiff’s motion for leave to file a Second Consolidated Amended Complaint and dismissing the action with prejudice. On October 17, 2019, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal seeking review of the court’s September 20, 2019 order. The plaintiff filed its subsidiariesopening brief with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit on January 6, 2020. The defendants filed their response brief on February 28, 2020, and the plaintiff filed its reply brief on March 27, 2020. The appeal is currently pending before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against the allegations in the aforementioned actions. Neither the outcome of the lawsuits nor an estimate of any reasonably possible losses is determinable at this time. An adverse judgment for monetary damages could have a partymaterial adverse effect on our operations and liquidity. Except as discussed above, neither we nor our subsidiaries are currently subject to any material pending legal proceedings.proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, youYou should carefully consider the factors discussedrisks described below and all other information contained in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annualthis Quarterly Report on Form 10-K for10-Q, including our interim financial statements and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2017, which could materially affectrelated notes thereto, before making a decision to purchase our business, financial condition or operating results. There have been no material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.securities. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-Kbelow are not the only risks that we face.ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.results, as well as the market price of our securities.
If any of such risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to Our Investments
Covenant-Lite Loans
A significant number of high yield loans in the market, in particular the broadly syndicated loan market, may consist of covenant-lite loans, or “Covenant-Lite Loans.” A significant portion of the loans in which the Company may invest or get exposure to through its investments may be deemed to be Covenant-Lite Loans and it is possible that such loans may comprise a majority of the Company’s portfolio. Such loans do not require the borrower to maintain debt service or other financial ratios and do not include terms which allow the lender to monitor the performance of the borrower and declare a default if certain criteria are breached. Ownership of Covenant-Lite Loans may expose the Company to different risks, including with respect to liquidity, price volatility, ability to restructure loans, credit risks and less protective loan documentation, than is the case with loans that contain financial maintenance covenants.”
77


Risks Relating to the Merger
Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock after the completion of the Merger may cause the market price of the Company’s common stock to decline.
Based on the number of outstanding shares of MVC’s common stock as of the close of business on August 7, 2020, the Company would issue approximately 16.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Former MVC stockholders may decide not to hold the shares of the Company’s common stock that they receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Company’s stockholders may decide not to hold their shares of the Company’s common stock after completion of the Merger. In each case, such sales of the Company’s common stock could have the effect of depressing the market price for the Company’s common stock and may take place promptly following the completion of the Merger.
The Company’s stockholders will experience a reduction in percentage ownership and voting power in the combined company as a result of the Merger.
The Company’s stockholders will experience a substantial reduction in their respective percentage ownership interests and effective voting power in respect of the combined company relative to their respective ownership interests in the Company prior to the Merger. Consequently, the Company’s stockholders should expect to exercise less influence over the management and policies of the combined company following the Merger than they currently exercise over the management and policies of the Company.
If the Merger is consummated, based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding on the closing date, it is expected that current stockholders of the Company will own approximately 74.2% of the outstanding common stock and former MVC stockholders will own approximately 25.8% of the outstanding common stock. In addition, both prior to and after completion of the Merger, subject to certain restrictions in the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Company’s stockholders, the Company may issue additional shares of common stock (including, subject to certain restrictions under the 1940 Act, at prices below the Company’s then-current net asset value (“NAV”) per share), all of which would further reduce the percentage ownership of the combined company held by current stockholders. In addition, the issuance or sale by the Company of shares of common stock at a discount to NAV poses a risk of economic dilution to stockholders.
The NAV per share of the Company’s will be diluted if the Company issues shares at a price below the then-current NAV per share in connection with the Merger.
In connection with the Merger and subject to certain determinations required to be made by the Company’s board of directors, the Company’s stockholders will be asked to approve the Company’s ability to issue shares of its common stock at a price below the then-current NAV per share in connection with the Merger in the event that at the time of such issuance, the Company’s then-current NAV per share is greater than the value of the shares of MVC’s common stock being exchanged.
Under the Merger Agreement, the Exchange Ratio was fixed on August 10, 2020, at the signing of the Merger Agreement, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Exchange Ratio was determined taking into account the NAV per share of the Company’s common stock and MVC’s common stock as of June 30, 2020 and April 30, 2020, respectively, and is not subject to adjustment based on changes in the NAV per share of the Company’s common stock or MVC’s common stock. In that regard, regardless of the date on which the Merger is consummated and the resulting date on which the shares of the Company’s common stock are issued, the Exchange Ratio upon which the shares of the Company’s common stock will be issued will not change (except for certain specified adjustments). Consequently, if, on the date that the Company’s common stock is issued, the per share value of MVC’s common stock were to decrease from its per share value as of April 30, 2020 and the NAV of the Company’s common stock were to remain the same, then the Company could be deemed to be issuing shares at a price below its then-current NAV per share. As a result, it is not known at this time whether the Company will be issuing shares of its common stock at a price below the then-current NAV per share to MVC’s stockholders in connection with the Merger. The determination of whether the Company is issuing its shares of its common stock at a price below the then-current NAV per share will be made at or around the time of the closing of the Merger.
If the Company were to issue shares of its common stock below its then-current NAV per share in connection with the Merger, such sales would result in an immediate dilution to the NAV per share of the Company’s common stock. This dilution would occur as a result of the issuance of shares at a price below the then-current NAV per share of the Company’s common stock and a proportionately greater decrease in the stockholders’ interest in the Company’s earnings and assets and their voting interest in the Company than the increase in the Company’s assets resulting from such issuance. Because the NAV of shares of the Company’s common stock at or around the time of the Merger is not currently known, the actual dilutive effect cannot be predicted.
78


The Company may be unable to realize the benefits anticipated by the Merger, including estimated cost savings, or it may take longer than anticipated to realize such benefits.
The realization of certain benefits anticipated as a result of the Merger will depend in part on the integration of MVC’s investment portfolio with the Company’s and the integration of MVC’s business with the Company’s. There can be no assurance that MVC’s investment portfolio or business can be operated profitably or integrated successfully into the Company’s operations in a timely fashion or at all. The dedication of management resources to such integration may divert attention from the day-to-day business of the combined company and there can be no assurance that there will not be substantial costs associated with the transition process or there will not be other material adverse effects as a result of these integration efforts. Such effects, including incurring unexpected costs or delays in connection with such integration and failure of MVC’s investment portfolio to perform as expected, could have a material adverse effect on the financial results of the combined company.
The Company also expects to achieve certain cost savings from the Merger when the two companies have fully integrated their portfolios. It is possible that the estimates of the potential cost savings could ultimately be incorrect. The cost savings estimates also assume the Company will be able to combine the operations of the Company and MVC in a manner that permits those cost savings to be fully realized. If the estimates turn out to be incorrect or if the Company is not able to successfully combine MVC’s investment portfolio or business with the operations of the Company, the anticipated cost savings may not be fully realized, or realized at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.
The announcement and pendency of the proposed Merger could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial results and operations.
The announcement and pendency of the proposed Merger could cause disruptions in and create uncertainty surrounding the Company’s business, including affecting its relationships with its existing and future borrowers, which could have a significant negative impact on its future revenues and results of operations, regardless of whether the Merger is completed. In addition, the Company diverted, and will continue to divert, significant management resources towards the completion of the Merger, which could have a significant negative impact on its future revenues and results of operations.
The Company is also subject to restrictions on the conduct of its business prior to the completion of the Merger as provided in the Merger Agreement, generally requiring the Company to conduct its business only in the ordinary course and subject to specific limitations, including, among other things, certain restrictions on its ability to make certain investments and acquisitions, sell, transfer or dispose of its assets, amend its organizational documents and enter into or modify certain material contracts. These restrictions could prevent the Company from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities, industry developments and future opportunities and may otherwise have a significant negative impact on its future investment income and results of operations.
The termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact the Company.
The Merger may not be completed. For example, either MVC or the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not completed by February 10, 2021 (so long as the party seeking termination has not been the principal cause of the delay). If the Merger Agreement is terminated, there may be various consequences, including:
the Company’s businesses may have been adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the Merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Merger;
the market price of the Company's common stock might decline to the extent that the market price prior to termination reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be completed;
under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to pay or cause to be paid to MVC a termination fee of approximately $4.7 million; and
the Company will have incurred substantial expenses (including investment banking, legal expenses and accounting fees and financing printing and other related charges) for which no ultimate benefit will have been received.
The Merger is subject to closing conditions, including stockholder approvals, that, if not satisfied or waived, will result in the Merger not being completed, which may result in material adverse consequences to the Company’s business and operations.
While there can be no assurances as to the exact timing, or that the Merger will be completed at all, the Company and MVC are working to complete the Merger in the fourth quarter of 2020. The Merger is subject to closing conditions, including required regulatory approvals (including the expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act, and the rules and regulations
79


thereunder and the approval of the European Commission pursuant to the Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 of 20 January 2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings, and certain approvals of the Company’s and MVC’s respective stockholders that, if not satisfied, will prevent the Merger from being completed. Early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act was granted on September 30, 2020. The closing condition that the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Merger and the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Merger at a price below its then-current NAV may not be waived and must be satisfied for the Merger to be completed. The Company currently expects that all of its directors and executive officers will vote their shares of the Company’s common stock in favor of these proposals. If the Company’s stockholders do not approve these proposals and the Merger is not completed, the resulting failure of the Merger could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and operations. The closing condition that MVC stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement may not be waived and must be satisfied for the Merger to be completed. If MVC stockholders do not adopt the Merger Agreement and the Merger is not completed, the resulting failure to complete the Merger could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and operations.
MVC and the Company will be subject to contractual restrictions while the Merger is pending, including restrictions on pursuing alternatives to the Merger.
Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger may have an adverse effect on the Company and MVC and, consequently, on the combined company following completion of the Merger. These uncertainties may impair the Company’s and MVC’s abilities to motivate key personnel until the Merger is consummated and could cause those who deal with the Company and MVC to seek to change their existing business relationships with the Company and MVC, respectively. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts the Company and MVC from taking actions that they might otherwise consider to be in their best interests. These restrictions may prevent the Company and MVC from pursuing certain business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Merger, including restrictions on them pursuing alternatives to the Merger.
Subject to applicable law, each party may waive one or more conditions to the Merger without resoliciting approval from its respective stockholders.
Certain conditions to the Company’s and MVC’s obligations to complete the Merger may be waived, in whole or in part, to the extent legally allowed, either unilaterally or by agreement of the Company and MVC. In the event that any such waiver does not require resolicitation of stockholders, the parties to the Merger Agreement will have the discretion to complete the Merger without seeking further stockholder approval. Accordingly, the terms and conditions as set forth in the Merger Agreement, including certain protections to the Company, may be waived. The conditions requiring approval of the Company’s stockholders and MVC’s stockholders, however, cannot be waived.
The market price of the Company’s common stock after the Merger may be affected by factors different from those affecting the Company’s common stock or MVC’s common stock currently.
The businesses of the Company and MVC differ in some respects and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the market price of the Company’s common stock after the Merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations of each of the Company and MVC. These factors include:
a larger stockholder base;
a different portfolio composition; and
a different capital structure
Accordingly, the historical trading prices and financial results of the Company may not be indicative of these matters for the combined company following the Merger.
The Merger may trigger certain “change of control” provisions and other restrictions in certain of the Company’s and MVC’s contracts and the failure to obtain any required consents or waivers could adversely impact the combined company.
Certain agreements of the Company and MVC or their controlled affiliates will or may require the consent of one or more counterparties in connection with the Merger. The failure to obtain any such consent may permit such counter-parties to terminate, or otherwise increase their rights or the Company’s or MVC’s obligations under, any such agreement because the Merger may violate an anti-assignment, change of control or similar provision. If this happens, the Company or MVC may have to seek to replace that agreement with a new agreement or seek a waiver or amendment to such agreement. The Company cannot assure you that it or MVC will be able to replace, amend or obtain a waiver under any such agreement on comparable terms or at all.
80


If any such agreement is material, the failure to obtain consents, amendments or waivers under, or to replace on similar terms or at all, any of these agreements could adversely affect the financial performance or results of operations of the combined company following the Merger, including preventing the Company from operating a material part of MVC’s business.
In addition, the consummation of the Merger may violate, conflict with, result in a breach of any provision of or the loss of any benefit under, constitute a default (or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation (including any payment obligation) under the Company’s or MVC’s agreements. Any such violation, conflict, breach, loss, default or other effect could, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, assets or business of the combined company following completion of the Merger.
The combined company may not be able to obtain financing for additional capital requirements.
Following completion of the Merger, the combined company may seek significant ongoing capital funding and, although the Company anticipates that the combined company will be able to obtain such funding through cash generated from operations and subsequent debt, equity or hybrid offerings, there can be no assurances that the combined company will be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all.
The Company has incurred and expects to incur substantial transaction fees and costs in connection with the Merger, whether or not the Merger is completed.
The Company has incurred and expects to incur additional material non-recurring expenses in connection with the Merger and completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Company has incurred significant legal, advisory and financial services fees in connection with the process of negotiating and evaluating the terms of the Merger. Additional significant unanticipated costs may be incurred in the course of coordinating the businesses of MVC and the Company after completion of the Merger.
Even if the Merger is not completed, the Company will need to pay certain costs relating to the Merger incurred prior to the date the Merger was abandoned, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory, filing and printing fees. Such costs may be significant and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s future results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Litigation filed against MVC or the Company in connection with the Merger could result in substantial costs and could delay or prevent the Merger from being completed.
From time to time, MVC and the Company may be subject to legal actions, including securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits, as well as various regulatory, governmental and law enforcement inquiries, investigations and subpoenas in connection with the Merger. These or any similar securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits, regardless of their merits, may result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment in such cases could have a negative impact on the Company’s liquidity and financial condition or could prevent the Merger from being completed.
