In the MCC Merger, each share of the Company’s common stock (other than shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Company, Sierra or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) will be exchanged for the right to receive (i) 0.68 shares of Sierra’s common stock if the attorneys’ fees of plaintiffs’ counsel and litigation expenses paid or incurred by plaintiffs’ counsel or advanced by plaintiffs in connection with the Delaware Action, as described below (such fees and expenses, the “Plaintiff Attorney Fees”), are less than or equal to $10,000,000; (ii) 0.66 shares of Sierra’s common stock if the Plaintiff Attorney Fees are equal to or greater than $15,000,000; (iii) between 0.68 and 0.66 per share of Sierra’s common stock if the Plaintiff Attorney Fees are greater than $10,000,000 but less than $15,000,000, calculated on a descending basis, based on straight line interpolation between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000; or (iv) 0.66 shares of Sierra’s common stock in the event that the Plaintiff Attorney Fees are not fully and finally determined prior to the closing of the MCC Merger (such ratio, the “MCC Merger Exchange Ratio”). Based upon the Plaintiff Attorney Fees approved by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court of Chancery”) as set forth in the Order and Final Judgment entered into on December 20, 2019, as described below (the “Delaware Order and Final Judgment”), the MCC Merger Exchange Ratio will be 0.66 shares of Sierra’s common stock. The Company and Sierra are appealing the Delaware Order and Final Judgment with respect to the Delaware Court of Chancery’s ruling on the Plaintiff Attorney Fees.

In addition, on July 29, 2019, Sierra and MDLY announced the execution of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MDLY Merger Agreement”), by and among MDLY, Sierra, and Merger Sub, pursuant to which MDLY will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the MDLY Merger. In the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, other than shares of MDLY Class A common stock held by MDLY, Sierra or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Excluded MDLY Shares”)operations and the Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement), held, immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, by any person other than a Medley LLC unitholder, will be exchanged for (i) 0.2668 shares of Sierra’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.96 per share. In addition, in the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, other than the Excluded MDLY Shares and the Dissenting Shares, held, immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, by Medley LLC unitholders will be exchanged for (i) 0.2072 shares of Sierra’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.66 per share.

Pursuant to terms of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, the consummation of the MCC Merger is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to closing under the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement and the consummation of the MDLY Merger. However, pursuant to the terms of the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, the consummation of the MDLY Merger is not contingent upon the consummation of the MCC Merger. If both Mergers are successfully consummated, Sierra’s common stock would be listed on the NYSE, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers, and Sierra’s common stock will be listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”), with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the MCC Merger. If, however, only the MDLY Merger is consummated, Sierra’s common stock would be listed on the NYSE. If both Mergers are successfully consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and Sierra would be combined, Merger Sub, as a successor to MDLY, would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company, and the Combined Company would be internally managed by MCC Advisors LLC, its wholly controlled adviser subsidiary. If only the MDLY Merger is consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and Sierra would not be combined; however, the investment management function relating to the operation of Sierra, as the surviving company, would still be internalized (the “Sierra/MDLY Company”) and the Sierra/MDLY Company would be managed by MCC Advisors.

The Mergers are subject to approval by the stockholdersperformance of the Company Sierra,(including certain portfolio companies) is difficult to predict, but may continue to be adverse. The longer-term potential impact on such operations and MDLY, regulators, includingperformance could depend to a large extent on future developments and actions taken by authorities and other entities to contain COVID-19 and its economic impact. The impacts, as well as the SEC, court approvaluncertainty over impacts to come, of COVID-19 have adversely affected the Settlement (as described below), other customary closing conditions and third-party consents. There is no assurance that any of the foregoing conditions will be satisfied. The Company and Sierra have the right to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including (subject to certain limitations set forth in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement), among others: (i) by mutual written agreement of each party; (ii) any governmental entity whose consent or approval is a condition to closing set forth in Section 8.1 of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement has denied the granting of any such consent or approval and such denial has become final and nonappealable, or any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable order, injunction or decree permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Amended MCC Merger Agreement; (iii) the MCC Merger has not closed on or prior to March 31, 2020; or (iv) either party has failed to obtain stockholder approval or the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement has been terminated.

On February 11, 2019, a purported stockholder class action was commenced in the Delaware Court of Chancery by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd. (together, “FrontFour”), captioned as FrontFour Capital Group LLC, et al. v. Brook Taube et al., Case No. 2019-0100 (the “Delaware Action”) against defendants Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MDLY, Sierra, the Company, MCC Advisors, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC. The complaint, as amended on February 12, 2019, alleged that the individuals named as defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the MCC Merger, and that MDLY, Sierra, MCC Advisors, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint sought to enjoin the vote of MCC stockholders on the proposed merger and enjoin enforcement of certain provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2018, by and between MCC and Sierra (the “MCC Merger Agreement”).

The Delaware Court of Chancery held a trial on the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction and issued a Memorandum Opinion (the “Decision”) on March 11, 2019. The Delaware Court of Chancery denied the plaintiffs’ requests to (i) permanently enjoin the proposed merger and (ii) require the Company to conduct a “shopping process” for the Company on terms proposed by the plaintiffs in their complaint. The Delaware Court of Chancery


held that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the proposed merger, but rejected the plaintiffs’ claim that Sierra aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duties. The Delaware Court of Chancery ordered the defendants to issue corrective disclosures consistent with the Decision, and enjoined a vote of the Company’s stockholders on the proposed merger until such disclosures had been made and stockholders had the opportunity to assimilate that information.

On March 20, 2019, another purported stockholder class action was commenced by Stephen Altman against Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Arthur S. Ainsberg, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, Mark Lerdal, and John E. Mack in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Altman v. Taube, Case No. 2019-0219 (the “Altman Action”). The complaint alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to stockholdersperformance of the Company in connection with the vote of the Company’s stockholders on the proposed mergers. On April 8, 2019, the Delaware Court of Chancery granted a stipulation consolidating the Delaware Action(including certain portfolio companies) and the Altman Action, designating the amended complaintmay continue to do so in the Delaware Action as the operative complaint, and designating the plaintiffs in the Delaware Action and their counsel the lead plaintiffs and lead plaintiffs’ counsel, respectively.

PHENIXFIN CORPORATION

Notes to the Settlement, the Company agreed to certain amendments to (i) the MCC Merger Agreement and (ii) the MDLY Merger Agreement, which amendments are reflected in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement. The Settlement also provides for, if the MCC Merger is consummated, the creation of a settlement fund, consisting of $17 million in cash and $30 million of Sierra’s common stock, with the number of shares of Sierra’s common stock to be calculated using the pro forma net asset value of $6.37 per share as of June 30, 2019, which will be distributed to eligible members of the Settlement Class (as defined in the Settlement). In addition, in connection with the Settlement, on July 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Governance Agreement with FrontFour Capital Group LLC, FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd., FrontFour Capital Corp., FrontFour Opportunity Fund, David A. Lorber, Stephen E. Loukas and Zachary R. George, pursuant to which, among other matters, FrontFour is subject to customary standstill restrictions and required to vote in favor of the revised MCC Merger at a meeting of stockholders to approve the revised MCC Merger Agreement. The Settlement also provides for mutual releases between and among FrontFour and the Settlement Class, on the one hand, and the Medley Parties, on the other hand, of all claims that were or could have been asserted in the Delaware Action through September 26, 2019.


The Delaware Court of Chancery also awarded attorney’s fees as follows: (i) an award of $3,000,000 to lead plaintiffs’ counsel and $75,000 to counsel to plaintiff Stephen Altman (the “Therapeutics Fee Award”) and $420,334.97 of plaintiff counsel expenses payable to the lead plaintiff’s counsel, which were paid on December 23, 2019, and (ii) an award that is contingent upon the closing of the proposed merger transactions (the “Contingent Fee Award”), consisting of:

a.$100,000 for the agreement to appoint an independent director on the board of directors of the post-merger company; and
b.    the amount calculated by solving for A in the following formula:

Award[A]=(Monetary Fund[M]+Award[A]-Look Through[L])*Percentage[P]

Where:

Ashall be the amount of the Additional Fee (excluding the $100,000 award for the agreement to appoint an independent director on the board of directors of the post-merger company);

Mshall be the sum of (i) the $17 million cash component of the Settlement Fund and (ii) the value of the post-merger company stock component of the Settlement Fund, which shall be calculated as the product of the VPS (as defined below) and 4,709,576.14 (the number of shares of post-merger company’s stock comprising the stock component of the net settlement amount);
Lshall be the amount representing the estimated value of the decrease in shares to be received by eligible class members arising by operation of the change in the “Exchange Ratio” under the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, calculated as follows:

L = ((ES * 68%) - (ES * 66%)) * VPS

Where:

ES    shall be the number of eligible shares;

VPSshall be the pro forma net asset value per share of the post-merger company’s common stock as of the closing as reported in the public disclosure filed nearest in time and after the closing (the “Closing NAV Disclosure”); and
P    shall equal 0.26

The Contingent Fee Award is contingent upon the closing of the MCC Merger. Payment of the Contingent Fee Award will be made in two stages. First, within five (5) business days of the establishment of the Settlement Fund, the Company or its successor shall (i) pay the plaintiffs’ counsel an estimate of the Contingent Fee Award (the “Additional Fee Estimate”), less twenty (20) percent (the “Additional Fee Estimate Payment”), and (ii) deposit the remaining twenty (20) percent of the Additional Fee Estimate into escrow (the “Escrowed Fee”). For purposes of calculating such estimate, the Company or its successor shall use the formula set above, except that VPS shall equal the pro forma net asset value of the post-merger company’s common stock as reported in the public disclosure filed nearest in time and prior to the closing (the “Closing NAV Estimate”).



Second, within five (5) business days of the Closing NAV Disclosure (as defined in the Order and Final Judgment), (i) if the Additional Fee is greater than the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, an amount of the Escrowed Fee shall be released to plaintiffs’ counsel such that the total payments made to plaintiffs’ counsel equal the Additional Fee and the remainder of the Escrowed Fee, if any, shall be released to the Company or its successor, (ii) if the Additional Fee is less than the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, plaintiffs’ counsel shall return to the Company or its successor the difference between the Additional Fee Estimate and the Additional Fee and the Escrowed Fee shall be released to the Company or its successor, or (iii) if the Additional Fee is equal to the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, the Escrowed Fee shall be released to the Company or its successor.

On January 17, 2020, the Company and Sierra filed a notice of appeal with the Delaware Supreme Court from those provisions of the Order and Final Judgment with respect to the Contingent Fee Award.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies


Basis of Presentation


The Company followsis an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, (“ASC 946”).Financial Services – Investment Companies. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries PhenixFIN Small Business Fund, LP (f/k/a Medley Small Business Fund, LP) (“PhenixFIN Small Business Fund”) and PhenixFIN SLF Funding I LLC (f/k/a Medley SLF Funding I LLC ("Medley SLF"LLC) (“PhenixFIN SLF”), and its wholly owned Taxable Subsidiaries. All references made to the “Company,” “we,” and “us” herein include Medley CapitalPhenixFIN Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as stated otherwise. Additionally, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications, which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial results as of and for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. 


Therefore, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents include deposits in a money market account. The Company deposits its cash in financial institutions and, at times, such balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. As of March 31, 2020, we had $61.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2019, we had $68.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $16.0 million of restricted cash, which was restricted for the purposes of repaying principal and interest on our Series A Israeli Notes (the “Israeli Notes”).


Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the public offering and sale of the Company’s common stock, including legal, accounting, printing fees and other related expenses, as well as costs incurred in connection with the filing of a shelf registration statement. These amounts are capitalized when incurred and recognized as a reduction of offering proceeds when the offering becomes effective or expensed upon expiration of the registration statement.

Debt Issuance Costs


Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with any credit facilities and unsecured notes and SBA-guaranteed debentures (“SBA Debentures”) (see Note 5) are deferred and amortized over the life of the respective credit facility or instrument.


Indemnification


In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual agreements that provide general indemnifications against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of individual obligations under such agreements. The Company has had no material claims or payments pursuant to such agreements. The Company’s individual maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on management’s experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote.


Revenue Recognition


Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income, which represents dividends from equity investments and distributions from Taxable Subsidiaries, is recorded on the ex-dividend date and when the distribution is received, respectively.


The Company holds debt investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. PIK interest is not accrued if the Company does not expect the issuer to be able to pay all principal and interest when due. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, 2021, the Company earned approximately $0.8 million$0 and $2.5$0.2 million in PIK interest, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, 2020, the Company earned approximately $2.0$0.8 million and $4.6$2.5 million in PIK interest, respectively.




Origination/closing, amendment and transaction break-up fees associated with investments in portfolio companies are recognized as income when we become entitled to such fees. Prepayment penalties received by the Company for debt instruments paid back to the Company prior to the maturity date are recorded as income upon repayment of debt. Administrative agent fees received by the Company are capitalized as deferred revenue and recorded as fee income when the services are rendered. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2020,2021, fee income was approximately $0.1$0.2 million and $0.4$0.6 million, respectively (see Note 9). For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019,2020, fee income was approximately $0.3$0.1 million and $0.8$0.4 million, respectively (see Note 9).


Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. There were

no realized gains or losses related to non-cash restructuring transactions during the three and six months ended March 31, 2020. During the three2021 and six months ended March 31, 2019, $10.8 million and $10.8 million of our realized losses, respectively, were related to certain non-cash restructuring transactions, which is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of net realized gain/(loss) from investments.2020. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments as a component of the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revenue Recognition (continued)

Management reviews all loans that become 90 days or more past due on principal or interest or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected for possible placement on management’s designation of non-accrual status. Interest receivable is analyzed regularly and may be reserved against when deemed uncollectible. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current, although we may make exceptions to this general rule if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. At March 31, 2020,2021, certain investments in ten portfolio companies held by the Company were on non-accrual status with a combined fair value of approximately $28.2$16.7 million, or 11.0% of the fair value of our portfolio. At March 31, 2020, certain investments in two portfolio companies held by the Company were on partial non-accrual status with a combined fair value of approximately $13.3 million, or 5.2%9.9% of the fair value of our portfolio. At September 30, 2019,2020, certain investments in seveneight portfolio companies held by the Company were on non-accrual status with a combined fair value of approximately $22.3$21.7 million, or 5.6%8.8% of the fair value of our portfolio.


Investment Classification


The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, we would be deemed to “control” a portfolio company if we owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. We refer to such investments in portfolio companies that we “control” as “Control Investments.” Under the 1940 Act, we would be deemed to be an “Affiliated Person” of a portfolio company if we own between 5% and 25% of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities or we are under common control with such portfolio company. We refer to such investments in Affiliated Persons as “Affiliated Investments.”


Valuation of Investments


The Company applies fair value accounting to all of its financial instruments in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as discussed in Note 4. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date.


Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or multiple broker-dealers or market makers. We weight the use of third-party broker quotations, if any, in determining fair value based on 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. However, debt investments with remaining maturities within 60 days that are not credit impaired are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Company’s board of directors based upon input from management and third partythird-party valuation firms. Because these investments are illiquid and because there may not be any directly comparable companies whose financial instruments have observable market values, these loans are valued using a fundamental valuation methodology, consistent with traditional asset pricing standards, that is objective and consistently applied across all loans and through time.


Investments in investment funds are valued at fair value. Fair values are generally determined utilizing the NAV supplied by, or on behalf of, management of each investment fund, which is net of management and incentive fees or allocations charged by the investment fund and is in accordance with the “practical expedient”, as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share. NAVs received by, or on behalf of, management of each investment fund are based on the fair value of the investment funds’ underlying investments in accordance with policies established by management of each investment fund, as described in each of their financial statements and offering memorandum.


If the Company is in the process of the sale of an investment fund, fair value will be determined by actual or estimated sale proceeds.

The methodologies utilized by the Company in estimating the fair value of its investments categorized as Level 3 generally fall into the following two categories:


The “Market Approach” uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (that is, similar) assets, liabilities, or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business.



The “Income Approach” converts future amounts (for example, cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (that is, discounted) amount. When the Income Approach is used, the fair value measurement reflects current market expectations about those future amounts.

The Company useshas engaged third-party valuation firms (the “Valuation Firms”) to assist theit and its board of directors in the valuation of its portfolio investments. The valuation reports generated by the third-party valuation firmsValuation Firms consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market basedmarket-based information, including comparable transactions, performance multiples, and movement in yields of debt instruments, among other factors. The Company uses a market yield analysis under the Income Approach or an enterprise model of valuation under the Market Approach, or a combination thereof. In applying the market yield analysis, the value of the Company’s loans is determined based upon inputs such as the coupon rate, current market yield, interest rate spreads of similar securities, the stated value of the loan, and the length to maturity. In applying the enterprise model, the Company uses a waterfall analysis, which takes into account the specific capital structure of the borrower and the related seniority of the instruments within the borrower’s capital structure into consideration. To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we weigh some or all of the traditional market valuation methods and factors based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to estimate the enterprise value.

Valuation of Investments (continued)

The methodologies and information that the Company utilizes when applying the Market Approach for performing investments include, among other things:


valuations of comparable public companies (“Guideline Comparable Approach”);

recent sales of private and public comparable companies (“Guideline Comparable Approach”);

recent acquisition prices of the company, debt securities or equity securities (“Recent Arms-Length Transaction”);

external valuations of the portfolio company, offers from third parties to buy the company (“Estimated Sales Proceeds Approach”);

subsequent sales made by the company of its investments (“Expected Sales Proceeds Approach”); and

subsequent sales made by the company of its investments (“Expected Sales Proceeds Approach”); and

estimating the value to potential buyers.

The methodologies and information that the Company utilizes when applying the Income Approach for performing investments include:


discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company or securities (Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) Approach); and

Black-Scholes model or simulation models or a combination thereof (Income Approach - Option Model) with respect to the valuation of warrants.

discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company or securities (Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) Approach); and

Black-Scholes model or simulation models or a combination thereof (Income Approach - Option Model) with respect to the valuation of warrants.

For non-performing investments, we may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets and liabilities using an expected recovery model (Market Approach - Expected Recovery Analysis or Estimated Liquidation Proceeds).


We undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter when valuing investments for which market quotations are not readily available, as described below:


our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio investment being internally valued by the valuation professionals;

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

an independent valuation firm engaged by our board of directors reviews approximately one third of these preliminary valuations each quarter on a rotating quarterly basis on non-fiscal year-end quarters, such that each of these investments will be valued by independent valuation firms at least twice per annum when combined with the fiscal year-end review of all the investments by independent valuation firms.

In addition, all of our investments are subject to the following valuation process:

the audit committee of our board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of the valuation professionals, senior management and independent valuation firms; and

our board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of MCC Advisors, the respective independent valuation firms and the audit committee.

our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio investment being initially valued by one or more Valuation Firms;

preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with senior management;

the audit committee of the board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations with management and the Valuation Firms; and

the board of directors discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of management, the respective Valuation Firms and the audit committee.

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


In addition, changes in the market environment (including the impact of COVID-19 on financial markets), portfolio company performance, and other events may occur over the lives of the investments that may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be materially different than the valuations currently assigned.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts and fair values of our long-term obligations are discussed in Note 5.



Recent

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


In August 2018,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement2020-04, “Reference rate reform (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes848)—Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to certain contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform and became effective upon issuance for all entities. The Company has agreements that have LIBOR as a reference rate with certain portfolio companies and also with certain lenders. Many of these agreements include language for choosing an alternative successor rate if LIBOR reference is no longer considered to be appropriate. Contract modifications are required to be evaluated in determining whether the Disclosure Requirementsmodifications result in the establishment of new contracts or the continuation of existing contracts. The standard is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and the Company plans to apply the amendments in this update to account for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”contract modifications due to changes in reference rates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In May 2020, the SEC adopted rule amendments that impacted the requirement of investment companies, including BDCs, to disclose the financial statements of certain of their portfolio companies or certain acquired funds (the “Final Rules”). The primary focusFinal Rules adopted a new definition of ASU 2018-13“significant subsidiary” set forth in Rule 1-02(w)(2) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. Rules 3-09 and 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X require investment companies to include separate financial statements or summary financial information, respectively, in such investment company’s periodic reports for any portfolio company that meets the definition of “significant subsidiary.” The Final Rules adopt a new definition of “significant subsidiary” applicable only to investment companies that (i) modifies the investment test and the income test, and (ii) eliminates the asset test currently in the definition of “significant subsidiary” in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. The new Rule 1-02(w)(2) of Regulation S-X is intended to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect allmore accurately capture those portfolio companies that are requiredmore likely to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general,materially impact the amendments in ASU 2018-13 arefinancial condition of an investment company. The Final Rules became effective for all entities for fiscal yearsJanuary 1, 2021. The Company evaluated the impact of the Final Rules and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. After evaluating ASU 2018-13, the Company found nodetermined its impact not to be material changes to its fair value disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements were necessary to complyand began voluntary compliance with the pronouncement.


Final Rules since the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Federal Income Taxes


The Company has elected, and intends to qualify annually, to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to continue to qualify as a RIC and be eligible for tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of the sum of investment company taxable income (“ICTI”) including PIK,, as defined by the Code, including PIK interest, and net tax exempt interest income (which is the excess of our gross tax exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions) for each taxable year in order to be eligible for tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code.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 dividend distributions into the next tax year. 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.


The Company is subject to a nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax of 4% on undistributed income if it does not distribute at least 98% of its ordinary income in any calendar year and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year.year and any income realized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which it did not pay federal income tax. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions for excise tax purposes, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the calendar years ended 2019 and 2018, accruedThere was no provision for federal excise tax at March 31, 20202021 and March 31, 2019, respectively, the Company distributed at least 98% of its ordinary income and 98.2% of its capital gains, and as such, was not subject to federal excises taxes.


2020.

The Company’s Taxable Subsidiaries accrue income taxes payable based on the applicable corporate rates on the unrealized gains generated by the investments held by the Taxable Subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $0.1 million on the Consolidated Statements of Assets2021 and Liabilities. As of September 30, 2019,2020, the Company did not record a deferred tax liability on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in provision for deferred taxes is included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 the Company did not record a change in provision for deferred taxes on the unrealized (appreciation)/depreciation on investments. By comparison, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a change in provision for deferred taxes on the unrealized (appreciation)/depreciation on investments of $0.1 million. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not record a change in provisionmillion for deferred taxes on the unrealized (appreciation)/depreciation on investments.


each respective period.  

As of March 31, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of $20.9$21.0 million and $20.9$22.8 million, respectively, consisting primarily of net operating losses and net unrealized losses on the investments held within its Taxable Subsidiaries. As of March 31, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, the Company has booked a valuation allowance of $20.9$21.0  million and $20.9$22.8 million, respectively, against its net deferred tax asset.


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, 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 1) PIK interest income and 2) 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.


The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no material uncertain income tax positions at March 31, 2020.2021.  Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal. The Company’s federal and state tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.Service and applicable state tax authorities.

Retroactive Adjustments for Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Share Reduction

The per share amount of the common stock and the authorized shares of common stock in the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split effected on July 24, 2020. See Note 1 for more information regarding the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Share Reduction.

Segments


The Company invests in various industries. The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its investment relationships. However, because each of these investment relationships has similar business and economic characteristics, they have been aggregated into a single investment segment. All applicable segment disclosures are included in or can be derived from the Company’s financial statements. See Note 3 for further information.


Company Investment Risk, Concentration of Credit Risk, and Liquidity Risk


MCC Advisors

The Company has broad discretion in making investments for the Company.investments. Investments will generally consist of debt instruments that may be affected by business, financial market or legal uncertainties. Prices of investments may be volatile, and a variety of factors that are inherently difficult to predict,



such as domestic or international economic and political developments, may significantly affect the results of the Company’s activities and the value of its investments. In addition, the value of the Company’s portfolio may fluctuate as the general level of interest rates fluctuate.

The value of the Company’s investments in loans may be detrimentally affected to the extent, among other things, that a borrower defaults on its obligations, there is insufficient collateral and/or there are extensive legal and other costs incurred in collecting on a defaulted loan, observable secondary or primary market yields for similar instruments issued by comparable companies increase materially or risk premiums required in the market between smaller companies, such as our borrowers, and those for which market yields are observable increase materially. MCC Advisors may attempt to minimize this risk by maintaining low loan-to-liquidation values with each loan and the collateral underlying the loan.


The Company’s assets may, at any time, include securities and other financial instruments or obligations that are illiquid or thinly traded, making purchase or sale of such securities and financial instruments at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult. Furthermore, the sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely difficult to value any such investments accurately.


Company performance (including that of certain of its portfolio companies) has been and may continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted economies and capital markets around the world in ways that will likely continue and may change in unforeseen ways for an indeterminate period. The pandemic has also adversely affected various businesses, including some in which we are invested. The COVID-19 pandemic may exacerbate pre-existing business performance, political, social and economic risks affecting certain companies and countries generally. The impacts, as well as the uncertainty over impacts to come, of COVID-19 have adversely affected the performance of the Company (including certain portfolio companies) and may continue to do so in the future.

Note 3. Investments (continued)

Loan Participation Sales


The Company may sell portions of its investments via participation agreements to a managed account, managed by an affiliate andor non-affiliate of the Company. At March 31, 2021, there were no participation agreements outstanding. At September 30, 2020, there were two participation agreements outstanding with an aggregate fair value of $5.0 million. At September 30, 2019, there were two participation agreements outstanding with an aggregate fair value of $6.5$6.8 million. The transfer of the participated portion of the investments met the criteria set forth in ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing for treatment as a sale. In each case, the Company’s loan participation agreements satisfy the following conditions:


transferred 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 transferred 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 transferred 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.

transferred 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 transferred 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 transferred 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.

Such investments where the Company has retained proportionate interests are included in the consolidated schedule of investments. All of these investments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as defined in Note 4.


During the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not collect interest and principal payments on behalf of the participant. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company collected interest and principal payments on behalf of the participant in aggregate amounts of $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, the Company collected interest and principal payments on behalf of the participant in aggregate amounts of $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Under the terms of the participation agreements, the Company will collect and remit periodic payments to the participant equal to the participant'sparticipant’s proportionate share of any principal and interest payments received by the Company from the underlying investee companies.


MCC Senior Loan Strategy JV I LLC


On March 27, 2015, the Company and GALIC entered into a limited liability company operating agreement to co-manage MCC JV. All portfolio and other material decisions regarding MCC JV must bewere submitted to MCC JV’s board of managers, which iswas comprised of four members, two of whom arewere selected by the Company and the other two of whom arewere selected by GALIC. The Company has concluded that it doesdid not operationally control MCC JV. As the Company doesdid not operationally control MCC JV, it doesdid not consolidate the operations of MCC JV within the consolidated financial statements. As a practical expedient, the Company uses NAV to determine the value of its investment in MCC JV; therefore, this investment has been presented as a reconciling item within the fair value hierarchy (see Note 4). Investments held by MCC JV are measured at fair value using the same valuation methodologies as described in Note 2.


As of March 31, 2020, MCC JV had total capital commitments of $100.0 million, with the Company providing $87.5 million and GALIC providing $12.5 million. Approximately $89.8 million was funded as of March 31, 2020 relating to these commitments, of which $78.6 million was from the Company. As of March 31, 2020, MCC JV’s board of managers had approved advances of capital of up to $0.3 million of the remaining capital commitments, of which $0.2 million is from the Company.

On August 4, 2015, MCC JV entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “JV Facility”) led by Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (“CS”) with commitments of $100 million subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions. On March 30, 2017, the Company amended the JV Facility previously administered by CS and facilitated the assignment of all rights and obligations of CS under the JV Facility to Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“DB”) and increased the total loan commitments to $200 million. On March 29, 2019, the JV Facility reinvestment period was extended from March 30, 2019 to June 28, 2019. On June 28, 2019, the JV Facility reinvestment period was further extended from June 28, 2019 to October 28, 2019. On October 28, 2019, the JV Facility reinvestment period was further extended from October 28, 2019 to March 31, 2020 and the interest rate was modified from bearing an interest rate of LIBOR (with a 0.00% floor) + 2.50% per annum to LIBOR (with a 0.00% floor) + 2.75% per annum. Effective as of March 31, 2020, the maturity date of the JV Facility was extended to March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019,2020, there was approximately $179.3$111.3 million outstanding under the JV Facility.


On March 31, 2020, the JV Facility ended its reinvestment period and entered its amortization period, during which time the interest rate iswas increased to LIBOR (with a 0.00% floor) + 3.00% per annum.

Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiaries


In accordance with Rules 3-09

The Company evaluated and 4-08(g)determined that it had no significant subsidiaries as of Regulation S-X, the Company must determine which of its unconsolidated Control Investments, if any, are considered “significant subsidiaries.” In evaluating these investments, there are three tests utilized to determine if any Controlled Investments are considered significant subsidiaries: the investment test, the asset test and the income test. Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X requires the Company to include separate audited financial statements of any unconsolidated majority-owned subsidiary (Control Investments in which the Company owns greater than 50% of the voting securities) in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K if any of the three tests exceed 20%. Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X requires summarized financial information of Control Investments in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K if any of the three tests exceeds 10%, and summarized financial information in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q if any of the three tests exceeds 20% pursuant to Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X.


After performing the income analysis for the six months ended March 31, 2020, excluding MCC JV, the Company had no single Control Investment which would be deemed2021.


PHENIXFIN CORPORATION

Notes to be a significant subsidiary pursuant to Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X.


The Company also determined that the assets of MCC JV represented greater than 20% of its total assets and also generated more than 20% of the Company’s total income primarily due to dividend income. Accordingly, the related summary financial information is presented in the “MCC Senior Loan Strategy JV I LLC” heading above.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC 820 for measuring the fair value of portfolio investments. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. The Company’s fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Financial investments recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the investment as of the measurement date. Investments which are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from this hierarchy, and certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The three levels are defined below:


Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.



Level 2 - Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable at the measurement date. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets including actionable bids from third parties for privately held assets or liabilities, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curves and forward currency rates that are entered directly into valuation models to determine the value of derivatives or other assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and are based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the Market or Income Approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, beta and EBITDA multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.

Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable at the measurement date. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets including actionable bids from third parties for privately held assets or liabilities, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curves and forward currency rates that are entered directly into valuation models to determine the value of derivatives or other assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and are based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the Market or Income Approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, beta and EBITDA multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ thea valuation policy approved by the board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820 (see Note 2). Consistent with our valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading, in determining fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, none of our investments transferred in or out of Level 3.

Purchases and other adjustments to cost include purchases of new investments at cost, effects of refinancing/restructuring, accretion/amortization of income from discount/premium on debt securities, and PIK.

Sales represent net proceeds received from investments sold.

Settlements represent principal paydowns received.


A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Reclassifications impacting Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the Level 3 category as of the beginning of the quarter in which the reclassifications occur. During the six months ended March 31, 2020,2021, none of our investments transferred in or out of Level 3. During the six months ended March 31, 2019,2020, none of our investments transferred in or out of Level 3.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the aboveCompany’s debt and derivative investments are market yields. Increases in market yields would result in lower fair value measurements.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity/warrants investments are comparable company multiples of revenue or EBITDA for the latest twelve months (“LTM”), next twelve months (“NTM”) or a reasonable period a market participant would consider. Increases in EBITDA multiples in isolation would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement for such assets.

In September 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Global Accessories Group, LLC (“Global Accessories”), in which the Company exchanged its full position in Lydell Jewelry Design Studio, LLC for a 3.8% membership interest in Global Accessories, which is included in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. As part of the agreement, the Company is entitled to contingent consideration in the form of cash payments (“Earnout”), as well as up to an additional 5% membership interest (“AMI”), provided Global Accessories achieves certain financial benchmarks over specified time frames.through calendar year ended 2022. The Earnout and AMI were initially recorded with an aggregate fair value of $2.4 million on the transaction date using the Income Approach and were included on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities in other assets. The contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Any changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings.

Note 5. Borrowings


As a BDC, we are generally only allowed to employ leverage to the extent that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after giving effect to such leverage. The amount of leverage that we employ at any time depends on our assessment of the market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.


However, in March 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act modified the 1940 Act by allowing a BDC to increase the maximum amount of leverage it may incur from 200% to 150%, if certain requirements under the 1940 Act are met. Under the 1940 Act, we are allowed to increase our leverage capacity if stockholders representing at least a majority of the votes cast, when a quorum is present, approve a proposal to do so. If we receive stockholder approval, we would be allowed to increase our leverage capacity on the first day after such approval. Alternatively, the 1940 Act allows the majority of our independent directors to approve an increase in our leverage capacity, and such approval would become effective after the one-year anniversary of such approval. In either case, we would be required to make certain disclosures on our website and in SEC filings regarding, among other things, the receipt of approval to increase our leverage, our leverage capacity and usage, and risks related to leverage.


As of March 31, 2020,2021, the Company’s asset coverage was 181.9%295.6% after giving effect to leverage and therefore the Company’s asset coverage was belowgreater than 200%, the minimum asset coverage requirement applicable presently to the Company under the 1940 Act. As a result, the Company is prohibited from making distributions to stockholders, including the payment of any dividend, and may not employ further leverage until the Company’s asset coverage is at least 200% after giving effect to such leverage.


As of September 30, 2019,2020, the Company’s asset coverage was 184.2%199.2% after giving effect to leverage and therefore the Company’s asset coverage was below 200%, the minimum asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act. As a result, the Company was prohibited from making distributions to stockholders, including the payment of any dividend, and could not employ further leverage until the Company’s asset coverage was at least 200% after giving effect to such leverage.

On August 12, 2019, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Medley Small Business Fund, LP (formerly known as Medley SBIC, LP) and Medley SLF, on the one hand, and the Trustee, on the other hand, entered into an amendment

PHENIXFIN CORPORATION

Notes to the deed of trust (the “Deed”) governing the Israeli Notes (the “Amendment” together with the Deed, the “Deed of Trust”). The Amendment amends the Deed by, among other things: (a) modifying Section 2.2 of the Deed to provide for full repayment of the Israeli Notes in eight (8) equal installments, each comprising twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the principal amount of the Israeli Notes, beginning on August 12, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) and ending on January 31, 2021, rather than four (4) equal annual installments, each comprising twenty five percent (25%) of the principal amount of the Israeli Notes, that were payable on February 27 of each of the years 2021-2024 (inclusive); (b) changing the interest payment dates for the Israeli Notes from semi-annual to quarterly except for the initial interest payment, which was paid on the Effective Date, and the final interest payment, which will be paid on January 31, 2021; (c) decreasing the annual interest rate on the Israeli Notes by 0.25% per annum on the Effective Date and further decreasing the annual interest rate on the Israeli Notes by 0.50% per annum if  the Mergers close, which further decrease will be effective upon the closing of the Mergers; (d) decreasing the minimum Total Net Asset covenant in Section 6.1.1 of the Deed from $275 million to $215 million; (e) modifying the acceleration event in Section 10.1.25 of the Deed to provide that it will occur if the credit rating on the Israeli Notes drops below (i) il/B of Maalot before November 30, 2019, (ii) il/BB- of Maalot during the period between December 1, 2019 and April 1, 2020, and (iii) il/BBB- of Maalot on or after April 1, 2020; (f) waiving the make-whole and market value payment requirements of Section 9.1.7 of the Deed for all early redemption payments on the Israeli Notes within eighteen (18) months following the Effective Date; (g) requiring each of Medley Small Business Fund and Medley SLF to guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Deed (including the Amendment) and the Israeli Notes and to grant security interests on all of their assets (the “Collateral”) to secure such guaranties and providing for the termination of the Medley SLF guaranty and release of the security interests in Medley SLF’s assets upon the closing of the Mergers, subject to certain limitations; (h) that the Company use principal collections from the Collateral to make early redemption payments on the Israeli Notes, which payments will be applied in inverse order of the maturity of the required principal installment payments on the Israeli Notes; (i) providing for a waiver by the Trustee and the holders of the Israeli Notes of any right to accelerate the full balance of the amount due to the holders of the Israeli Notes based on any claims, allegations, actions, and/or rights that were raised, and/or resulting or deriving from certain claims or allegations as set forth in Section 19.1 of the Amendment; (j) providing for a waiver by the Trustee and the holders of the Israeli Notes of certain claims, demands, rights, and/or actions against and/or relating to the Company, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates and their respective employees (including their respective directors, officers, members of the Company’s board of directors, employees, stockholders, stakeholders and advisors); and (k) adding other definitions, representations and covenants to the Deed and making related conforming changes to the Deed. Pursuant to the Amendment, no prepayment penalties were due or payable in connection with the payment of principal made by the Company on the Effective Date.


The Deed (including the Amendment) includes certain customary covenants, including minimum net assets of $215 million and a maximum debt to total assets ratio of 70%. The date for determining compliance with these financial covenants is the date that the Company publishes its financial statements (i.e., in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q or an annual report on Form 10-K) with the SEC. If the Company does not satisfy these financial covenants for two consecutive quarters, it is an event of default under the Deed. If this event of default is expected to occur, the Company has the right to request the trustee for the Israeli Notes (the “Trustee”) to appoint an emergency committee of the three largest noteholders for the purpose of obtaining a one-quarter extension of time to satisfy the financial covenants. If the Company does not make this request and the breach occurs, or if the emergency committee does not grant the extension, then the Trustee is required to convene a meeting of the noteholders as described below.

In addition to not complying with the financial covenants as described above, the events of default include: (i) a change of control of the Company (defined in the Deed as MCC Advisors’ ceasing to provide investment management or advisory services to the Company); (ii) the Company not publishing a tender offer for the purchase of all of the Israeli Notes within 45 days; (iii) the Company not paying any amount due and payable to the holders of the Israeli Notes within seven business days after the payment due date; (iv) certain insolvency and receivership events with respect to the Company or with respect to all or substantially all of its assets, and (v) the Israeli Notes being delisted from the TASE or the TASE’s suspension of trading of the Israeli Notes for more than 60 days.

If an event of default occurs under the Deed, there is no automatic acceleration or mandatory redemption of the Israeli Notes. Rather, the Trustee is required to convene a meeting of the noteholders for a vote on whether to accelerate the Israeli Notes. Noteholders holding at least 50% of the principal amount of the Israeli Notes must be present at the meeting for a quorum to exist, and if a quorum exists, then the vote of a majority of the noteholders present at the meeting controls.

The foregoing description of the terms of Israeli Notes, the Deed, and the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of the Deed and the Amendment incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

As described above, the following is a summary of the Collateral to secure the guarantee of all of the Company’s obligations under the Deed (including the Amendment) and the Israeli Notes by Medley Small Business Fund and Medley SLF as of Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 5. Borrowings (continued)

Secured Notes (continued)

On June 5, 2018, the Company announced that on June 1, 2018, its board of directors authorized the Company to repurchase and retire up to $20 million of the Company’s outstanding Israeli Notes on the TASE. Execution of the repurchase plan is subject to an open trading window for the Company and continued liquidity at that time and is expected to continue until the full authorized amount is purchased or market conditions change. The repurchase of the Israeli Notes is not expected to result in any material tax consequences to the Company or its note holders.


During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company exchanged $1.0 million United States Dollars to New Israeli Shekels at a rate of 3.73 USD/NIS in order to repurchase the Israeli Notes on the TASE. As the Israeli Notes were trading below par at the time of the repurchase, and the USD/NIS (foreign currency) spot rate was higher than the fixed exchange rate agreed upon in the deed of trust, the Company was able to repurchase and retire 3,812,000 units, which resulted in $1,119,201 aggregate principal amount of the Israeli Notes being retired. The redemption was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which resulted in a realized gain of $0.1 million and was recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a gain on extinguishment of debt.


On December 31, 2019, in addition to the scheduled 12.5% quarterly amortization payment, the Company used proceeds from its principal repayments in assets held by MedleyPhenixFIN SLF and MedleyPhenixFIN Small Business Fund to pre-pay an additional $19.1 million of the Israeli Notes. The pre-payment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which resulted in a realized loss of $0.9 million and was recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a net loss on extinguishment of debt.

On March 31, 2020, in addition to the scheduled 12.5% quarterly amortization payment, the Company used proceeds from its principal repayments in assets held by MedleyPhenixFIN SLF and MedleyPhenixFIN Small Business Fund to pre-pay an additional $19.8 million of the Israeli Notes. The pre-payment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which resulted in a realized loss of $0.9 million and was recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a loss on extinguishment of debt.


On April 14, 2020, the Company repaid the remaining $21.1 million of Israeli Notes outstanding, and as such is no longer subject to any covenants relating thereto. The Israeli Notes were redeemed at 100% of their principal amount, plus the accrued interest thereon, through April 14, 2020.


Fair Value of Debt Obligations

The fair values of our debt obligations are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Notes, which are publicly traded, is based upon closing market quotes as of the measurement date. As of March 31, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, the Notes would be deemed to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, as defined in Note 4.

In accordance with ASU 2015-03, the debt issuance costs related to the Notes are reported on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a direct deduction from the face amount of the Notes. As of March 31, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, debt issuance costs related to the Notes were as follows (dollars in thousands):

SBA Debentures

On March 26, 2013, SBIC LP received a SBIC license from the SBA. The SBIC license allowed SBIC LP

PHENIXFIN CORPORATION

Notes to obtain leverage by issuing SBA Debentures, subject to the issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. SBA Debentures were non-recourse, interest only debentures with interest payable semi-annually and had a ten year maturity. The principal amount of SBA Debentures were not required to be paid prior to maturity but may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The interest rate of SBA Debentures were fixed on a semi-annual basis at a market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with 10-year maturities. The SBA, as a creditor, had a superior claim to the SBIC LP’s assets over our stockholders in the event we liquidated the SBIC LP or the SBA exercised its remedies under the SBA Debentures issued by the SBIC LP upon an event of default.


On September 1, 2018, the Company repaid $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the SBA Debentures. The repayment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which resulted in a realized loss of $0.2 million and was recorded on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Operations as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

SBIC LP received a letter from the SBA (the “SBA Letter”), dated March 14, 2019, informing SBIC LP of certain alleged regulatory issues constituting a default under the terms of the SBIC LP’s outstanding SBA Debentures. The SBA Letter stated that SBIC LP had until March 29, 2019, fifteen (15) days from the date of the SBA Letter, to provide the SBA with certain additional information regarding the alleged regulatory issues, unless extended by the SBA. SBIC LP’s management submitted an orderly wind-down plan to the SBA to prepay the remaining $135.0 million of outstanding SBA Debentures using available cash at SBIC LP as well as the sale of assets to third parties or affiliates of SBIC LP. On March 28, 2019, SBIC LP agreed and made a repayment of $50.0 million of outstanding SBA Debentures by April 3, 2019 using available cash at SBIC LP and the cure period was extended to April 19, 2019. On April 18, 2019, SBIC LP agreed and made a repayment of $20.0 million of outstanding SBA Debentures on April 23, 2019 and an additional $30.0 million of outstanding SBA Debentures on April 30, 2019 using proceeds from the sale of certain assets and the cure period was extended to May 10, 2019. On May 10, 2019, SBIC LP made the final repayment of the remaining $35.0 million of outstanding SBA Debentures using proceeds from the sale of certain assets. In connection therewith, effective July 1, 2019, SBIC LP surrendered its SBIC license and operates as Medley Small Business Fund.

The $135.0 million in aggregate repayments made in connection with the orderly wind-down plan was accounted for as debt extinguishments in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which resulted in a cumulative realized loss of $1.8 million and was recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

The Company believes the wind-down plan of SBIC LP will not have a material impact on the Company’s net investment income per share. In addition, the Company believes the wind-down will not have an adverse impact on the Company’s other operations. The Company has received the necessary consents and waivers under the MCC Merger Agreement to permit the repayment of the outstanding SBA Debentures.

As of (continued)

March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, Medley Small Business Fund did not have any SBA Debentures outstanding.


For the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the components of interest, amortized debt issuance costs, weighted average stated interest rate and weighted average outstanding debt balance for the SBA Debentures were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 6. Agreements


Investment Management Agreement


We had entered into an investment management agreement with MCC Advisors (the “Investment Management Agreement”)., which expired on December 31, 2020. Mr. Brook Taube, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is a managing partnerthrough December 31, 2020 and senior portfolio managerone of MCC Advisors,our directors through January 21, 2021 and Mr. Seth Taube, one of our directors is a managing partner ofthrough January 21, 2021 are both affiliated with MCC Advisors.


Advisors and Medley.

Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, MCC Advisors:


determines the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;

identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments we make (including performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies); and

executes, closes, monitors and administers the investments we make, including the exercise of any voting or consent rights.

determined the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;

identified, evaluated and negotiated the structure of the investments we made (including performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies); and

executed, closed, monitored and administered the investments we made, including the exercise of any voting or consent rights.

MCC Advisors’ services under the Investment Management Agreement arewere not exclusive, and it iswas free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its services to us arewere not impaired.




Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, we paypaid MCC Advisors a fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of a base management fee and a two-part incentive fee.


On December 3, 2015, MCC Advisors recommended and, in consultation with the Board, agreed to reduce fees under the Investment Management Agreement. Beginning January 1, 2016, the base management fee was reduced to 1.50% on gross assets above $1 billion. In addition, MCC Advisors reduced its incentive fee from 20% on pre-incentive fee net investment income over an 8% hurdle, to 17.5% on pre-incentive fee net investment income over a 6% hurdle. Moreover, the revised incentive fee includes a netting mechanism and is subject to a rolling three-year look back from January 1, 2016 forward. Under no circumstances willwould the new fee structure result in higher fees to MCC Advisors than fees under the prior investment management agreement.


The following discussion of our base management fee and two-part incentive fee reflect the terms of the fee waiver agreement executed by MCC Advisors on February 8, 2016 (the “Fee Waiver Agreement”). The terms of the Fee Waiver Agreement arewere effective as of January 1, 2016 and arewere a permanent reduction in the base management fee and incentive fee on net investment income payable to MCC Advisors for the investment advisory and management services it providesprovided under the Investment Management Agreement. The Fee Waiver Agreement doesdid not change the second component of the incentive fee, which iswas the incentive fee on capital gains.


On January 15, 2020, the Company’s board of directors, including all of the independent directors, approved the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement through the later of April 1, 2020 or so long as the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MCC Merger Agreement isAgreement”), by and between the Company and Sierra (the “Amended MCC Merger Agreement”) was in effect, but no longer than a year; provided that, if the Amended MCC Merger Agreement iswas terminated by Sierra, then the termination of the Investment Management Agreement would be effective on the 30th day following receipt of Sierra’s notice of termination to the Company. TheOn May 1, 2020, the Company received a notice of termination of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement from Sierra. Under the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, either party was terminatedpermitted, subject to certain conditions, to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement if the merger was not consummated by March 31, 2020. Sierra elected to do so on May 1, 2020. See Note 14. Subsequent Events for more information.


As result of the termination by Sierra of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement on May 1, 2020, the Investment Management Agreement would have been terminated effective as of May 31, 2020. On May 21, 2020, the Board, including all of the independent directors, extended the term of the Investment Management Agreement through the end of the then-current quarter, June 30, 2020. On June 15, 2020, the Board, including all of the independent directors, extended the term of the Investment Management Agreement through the end of the then-current quarter, September 30, 2020. On September 29, 2020, the Board, including all of the independent directors, extended the term of the Investment Management Agreement through December 31, 2020.

On November 18, 2020, the Board approved the adoption of an internalized management structure effective January 1, 2021. The new management structure replaces the current Investment Management and Administration Agreements with MCC Advisors LLC, which expired on December 31, 2020. To lead the internalized management team, the Board approved the appointment of David Lorber, who had served as an independent director of the Company since April 2019, as interim Chief Executive Officer, and Ellida McMillan as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, each effective January 1, 2021.

Incentive Fee


The

Through December 31, 2020, the incentive fee hashad two components, as follows:


Incentive Fee Based on Income


The first component of the incentive fee iswas payable quarterly in arrears and iswas based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income earned during the calendar quarter for which the incentive fee iswas being calculated. MCC Advisors iswas entitled to receive the incentive fee on net investment income from us if our Ordinary Income (as defined below) exceedsexceeded a quarterly “hurdle rate” of 1.5%. The hurdle amount iswas calculated after making appropriate adjustments to the Company’s net assets, as determined as of the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter, in order to account for any capital raising or other capital actions as a result of any issuances by the Company of its common stock (including issuances pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan), any repurchase by the Company of its own common stock, and any dividends paid by the Company, each as may have occurred during the relevant quarter.


Beginning with the calendar quarter that commenced on January 1, 2016, the incentive fee on net investment income iswas determined and paid quarterly in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter by reference to our aggregate net investment income, as adjusted as described below, from the calendar quarter then ending and the eleven preceding calendar quarters (or if shorter, the number of quarters that have occurred since January 1, 2016). We refer to such period as the “Trailing Twelve Quarters.”


The hurdle amount for the incentive fee on net investment income iswas determined on a quarterly basis and iswas equal to 1.5% multiplied by the Company’s net asset value at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The hurdle amount iswas calculated after making appropriate adjustments to the Company’s net assets, as determined as of the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter, in order to account for any capital raising or other capital actions as a result of any issuances by the Company of its common stock (including issuances pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan), any repurchase by the Company of its own common stock, and any dividends paid by the Company, each as may have occurred during the relevant quarter. The incentive fee for any partial period willwas to be appropriately pro-rated. Any incentive fee on net investment income willwas to be paid to MCC Advisors on a quarterly basis and willwas to be based on the amount by which (A) aggregate net investment income (“Ordinary Income”) in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters exceedsexceeded (B) the hurdle amount for such Trailing Twelve Quarters. The amount of the excess of (A) over (B) described in this paragraph for such Trailing Twelve Quarters is referred to as the “Excess Income Amount.” For the avoidance of doubt, Ordinary Income iswas net of all fees and expenses, including the reduced base management fee but excluding any incentive fee on Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income or on the Company’s capital gains.


Determination of Quarterly Incentive Fee Based on Income


The incentive fee on net investment income for each quarter iswas determined as follows:


No incentive fee on net investment income is payable to MCC Advisors for any calendar quarter for which there is no Excess Income Amount;

100% of the Ordinary Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle amount, but is less than or equal to an amount, which we refer to as the “Catch-up Amount,” determined as the sum of 1.8182% multiplied by the Company’s net assets at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter,


as adjusted as noted above, comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters is included in the calculation of the incentive fee on net investment income; and

17.5% of the Ordinary Income that exceeds the Catch-up Amount is included in the calculation of the incentive fee on net investment income.

No incentive fee on net investment income was payable to MCC Advisors for any calendar quarter for which there was no Excess Income Amount;

100% of the Ordinary Income, if any, that exceeded the hurdle amount, but was less than or equal to an amount, which we refer to as the “Catch-up Amount,” determined as the sum of 1.8182% multiplied by the Company’s net assets at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter, as adjusted as noted above, comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters was included in the calculation of the incentive fee on net investment income; and

17.5% of the Ordinary Income that exceeds the Catch-up Amount was included in the calculation of the incentive fee on net investment income.

The amount of the incentive fee on net investment income that willwas to be paid to MCC Advisors for a particular quarter willwould equal the excess of the incentive fee so calculated minus the aggregate incentive fees on net investment income that were paid in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters (or the portion thereof) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters but not in excess of the Incentive Fee Cap (as described below).


The incentive fee on net investment income that iswas paid to MCC Advisors for a particular quarter iswas subject to a cap (the “Incentive Fee Cap”). The Incentive Fee Cap for any quarter iswas an amount equal to (a) 17.5% of the Cumulative Net Return (as defined below) during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (b) the aggregate incentive fees on net investment income that were paid in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters (or the portion thereof) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters.

Note 6. Agreements (continued)

Incentive Fee (continued)

“Cumulative Net Return” means (x) the Ordinary Income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (y) any Net Capital Loss (as described below), if any, in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap iswas zero or a negative value, the Company willwould pay no incentive fee on net investment income to MCC Advisors for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter iswas a positive value but iswas less than the incentive fee on net investment income that iswas payable to MCC Advisors for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Company willwould pay an incentive fee on net investment income to MCC Advisors equal to the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter iswas equal to or greater than the incentive fee on net investment income that iswas payable to MCC Advisors for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Company willwould pay an incentive fee on net investment income to MCC Advisors, 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, and dilution to the Company’s net assets due to capital raising or capital actions, in such period and (ii) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized and accretion to the Company’s net assets due to capital raising or capital action, in such period.


Dilution to the Company’s net assets due to capital raising iswas calculated, in the case of issuances of common stock, as the amount by which the net asset value per share was adjusted over the transaction price per share, multiplied by the number of shares issued. Accretion to the Company’s net assets due to capital raising iswas calculated, in the case of issuances of common stock (including issuances pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan), as the excess of the transaction price per share over the amount by which the net asset value per share was adjusted, multiplied by the number of shares issued. Accretion to the Company’s net assets due to other capital action iswas calculated, in the case of repurchases by the Company of its own common stock, as the excess of the amount by which the net asset value per share was adjusted over the transaction price per share multiplied by the number of shares repurchased by the Company.


Incentive Fee Based on Capital Gains


The second component of the incentive fee iswas determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Management Agreement as of the termination date) and equalsequaled 20.0% of our cumulative aggregate realized capital gains less cumulative realized capital losses, unrealized capital depreciation (unrealized depreciation on a gross investment-by-investment basis at the end of each calendar year) and all capital gains upon which prior performance-based capital gains incentive fee payments were previously made to the investment adviser.


Under GAAP, the Company calculatescalculated the second component of the incentive fee as if the Company had realized all assets at their fair values as of the reporting date. Accordingly, when applicable, the Company accruesaccrued a provisional capital gains incentive fee taking into account any unrealized gains or losses. As the provisional capital gains incentive fee iswas subject to the performance of investments until there iswas a realization event, the amount of the provisional capital gains incentive fee accrued at a reporting date may varyhave varied from the capital gains incentive that iswas ultimately realized and the differences could behave been material.


Base Management Fee - Prior to Fee Waiver Agreement

Prior to January 1, 2016, the base management fee was calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of our gross assets (which is defined as all the assets of the Company, including those acquired using borrowings for investment purposes), and was payable quarterly in arrears. The base management fee was based on the average value of our gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters.

Incentive Fee - Prior to Fee Waiver Agreement

Prior to January 1, 2016, the incentive fee based on net investment income was calculated as 20.0% of the amount, if any, by which our pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets calculated as of the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the calendar quarter for which the incentive fee is being calculated, exceeds a 2.0% (which is 8.0% annualized) hurdle rate but also includes a “catch-up” provision. Under this provision, in any calendar quarter, our investment adviser receives no incentive fee until our net investment income equals the hurdle rate of 2.0%, but then receives, as a “catch-up”, 100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5%. The effect of this provision is that, if pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter, our investment adviser will receive 20% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income as if the hurdle rate did not apply. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter including the base management fee, expenses payable under the administration agreement, and 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 PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash.

For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of the new incentive fee calculation under the Fee Waiver Agreement is to permanently reduce aggregate fees payable to MCC Advisors by the Company, effective as of January 1, 2016. In order to ensure that the Company will pay MCC Advisors lesser aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated beginning January 1, 2016, we will, at the end of each quarter, also calculate the base management fee and incentive fee on net investment income owed by the Company to MCC Advisors based on the formula in place prior to January 1, 2016. If, at any time beginning January 1, 2016, the aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated based on the formula in place after January 1, 2016, would be greater than the aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated based on the formula in place prior to January 1, 2016, MCC Advisors shall only be entitled to the lesser of those two amounts.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred base management fees to MCC Advisors of $1.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred base management fees to MCC Advisors of $3.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively. The Company did not waive management fees under the Fee Waiver Agreement during the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

The incentive fees shown in the Consolidated Statements of Operations arewere calculated using the fee structure set forth in the Investment Management Agreement, and then adjusted to reflect the terms of the Fee Waiver Agreement. Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, pre-incentive fee net investment income iswas compared to a hurdle rate of 2.0% of the net asset value at the beginning of the period and iswas calculated as follows:


1)No incentive fee iswas recorded during the quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income doesdid not exceed the hurdle rate;

2)100% of pre-incentive fee net investment income that exceedsexceeded the hurdle rate but iswas less than 2.5% in the quarter; and

3)20.0% of the amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceedsexceeded 2.5% of the hurdle rate.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, the Company did not incur any incentive fees on net investment income because pre-incentive fee net investment income did not exceed the hurdle amount under the formula set forth in the Investment Management Agreement.


As of March 31, 20202021 and September 30, 2019, $1.6 million2020, $0 and $2.2$1.4 million, respectively, were included in “management and incentive fees payable” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.


Administration Agreement


On January 19, 2011, the Company entered into an administration agreement with MCC Advisors. Pursuant to the administration agreement, MCC Advisors furnishesfurnished us with office facilities and equipment, clerical, bookkeeping, recordkeeping and other administrative services related to the operations of the Company. We reimbursereimbursed MCC Advisors for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by it performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs. From time to time, our administrator maywas able to pay amounts owed by us to third-party service providers and we willwould subsequently reimburse our administrator for such amounts paid on our behalf. In connection with the adoption by the board of directors of an internalized management structure, on November 19, 2020, the Company entered into a Fund Accounting Servicing Agreement and an Administration Servicing Agreement on customary terms with U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC d/b/a U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“U.S. Bancorp”). The administration agreement with MCC Advisors terminated by its terms on December 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we applied $52,000 for administrative expenses due to U.S. Bancorp to an over accrued administrator expense balance. For the six months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded $0.4 million in administrator expenses. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred $0.4$0.6 million and $0.7$1.1 million in administrator expenses, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred $0.7 million and $1.7 million in administrator expenses, respectively.


As of March 31, 20202021 and September 30, 2019, $0.62020, $0.1 million and $0.9$0.2 million, respectively, were included in “administrator expenses payable” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.


Expense Support Agreement

On June 12, 2020, the Company entered into an expense support agreement (the “Expense Support Agreement”) with MCC Advisors and Medley LLC, pursuant to which MCC Advisors and Medley LLC agreed (jointly and severally) to cap the management fee and all of the Company’s other operating expenses (except interest expenses, certain extraordinary strategic transaction expenses and other expenses approved by the Special Committee (as defined in Note 10)) at $667,000 per month (the “Cap”). Under the Expense Support Agreement, the Cap became effective on June 1, 2020 and expires on September 30, 2020. On September 29, 2020, the board of directors, including all of the independent directors, extended the term of the Expense Support Agreement through the end of quarter ending December 31, 2020. The Expense Support Agreement expired by its terms at the close of business on December 31, 2020, in connection with the adoption of the internalized management structure by the board of directors.

Note 7. Related Party Transactions


Due to Affiliate


Due to affiliate consists of certain general and administrative expenses paid by an affiliate on behalf of the Company.


Other Related Party Transactions


Certain affiliates of MCC Advisors, Medley Capital LLC, their respective affiliates and some of their employees purchased in the IPO an aggregate of 833,333 shares of common stock at the IPO price per share of $12.00. The Company received the full proceeds from the sale of these shares, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid in respect of these shares.

Opportunities for co-investments may arise when MCC Advisors or an affiliated investment adviser becomes aware of investment opportunities that may be appropriate for the Company, other clients, or affiliated funds. On November 25, 2013, the Company obtained an exemptive order from the SEC that permits us to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with certain affiliates, each of whose investment adviser is Medley, LLC or an investment adviser controlled by Medley, LLC in a manner consistent with our investment objective, strategies and restrictions, as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors (the “Prior Exemptive Order”). On March 29, 2017, the Company, MCC Advisors and certain other affiliated funds and investment advisers received an exemptive order (the “Exemptive Order”) that supersedes the Prior Exemptive Order and allows affiliated registered investment companies to participate in co-investment transactions with us that would otherwise have been prohibited under Section 17(d) and 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder. On October 4, 2017, the Company, MCC Advisors and certain of our affiliates received an exemptive



order that supersedes the Exemptive Order (the “Current Exemptive Order”) and allows, in addition to the entities already covered by the Exemptive Order, Medley LLC and its subsidiary, Medley Capital LLC, to the extent they hold financial assets in a principal capacity, and any direct or indirect, wholly or majority owned subsidiary of Medley LLC that is formed in the future, to participate in co-investment transactions with us that would otherwise be prohibited by either or both of Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act. If the Mergers are successfully consummated, Sierra and certain of its affiliates will not be able to rely on the Current Exemptive Order. In this regard, on November 19, 2018, Sierra and certain of its affiliates have submitted an exemptive application to the SEC for an exemptive order that would supersede the Current Exemptive Order (the “Superseding Exemptive Order”) and would permit Sierra to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with certain affiliates that would otherwise be prohibited by either or both of Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act. There can be no assurance if and when Sierra will receive the Superseding Exemptive Order. The terms of the Superseding Exemptive Order, if received, would be substantially similar to the Current Exemptive Order. Co-investment under the SupersedingCurrent Exemptive Order is subject to certain conditions therein, including the condition that, in the case of each co-investment transaction, the board of directors determines that it would be in Sierra’sthe Company’s best interest to participate in the transaction. The Current Exemptive Order will remain in effect unless and until the Mergers are completed and the Superseding Exemptive Order is granted by the SEC. However, neither we nor the affiliated funds are obligated to invest or co-invest when investment opportunities are referred to us or them. The Company does not expect to avail itself of the current exemptive order, given the internalization and termination of the Investment Management Agreement.

Note 13. Dividends


Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by our board of directors.


We have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a cash dividend or other distribution, each stockholder that has not “opted out” of our dividend reinvestment plan will have its dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock rather than receiving cash dividends. Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of shares of common stock will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.




The Company did not make any distributions during the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

COVID-19 Developments


On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and, on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has severely impacted global economic activity and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, imposed restricting travel, and temporarily closing or limiting capacity at many corporate offices, retail stores, restaurants, fitness clubs and manufacturing facilities and factories in affected jurisdictions. Such actions are creating disruption in global supply chains and adversely impacting a number of industries. The outbreak has had and could continue to have a continuedan adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The

We are closely monitoring the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our portfolio companies, employees, due diligence and underwriting processes, and financial markets. Given the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, precludes any prediction aswe cannot estimate the long-term impact of COVID-19 on our business, future results of operations, financial position or cash flows at this time. Further, the operational and financial performance of the portfolio companies in which we make investments may be significantly impacted by COVID-19, which may in turn impact the valuation of our investments. We believe our portfolio companies have taken immediate actions to effectively and efficiently respond to the ultimate adversechallenges posed by COVID-19 and related orders imposed by state and local governments, including developing liquidity plans supported by internal cash reserves, shareholder support, and, as appropriate, accessing their ability to participate in the government Paycheck Protection Program. The Company’s performance was negatively impacted during the pandemic. The longer-term impact of COVID-19. Nevertheless,COVID-19 on the operations and the performance of the Company (including certain portfolio companies) is difficult to predict, but may also be adverse. The longer-term potential impact on such operations and performance could depend to a large extent on future developments and actions taken by authorities and other entities to contain COVID-19 and its economic impact. The impacts, as well as the uncertainty over impacts to come, of COVID-19 have adversely affected the performance of the Company (including certain portfolio companies) and may continue to do so in the future. Furthermore, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to and volatility in the financial markets remain unknown. COVID-19 presents material uncertainty and risks with respect to the underlying value of the Company’s portfolio companies, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, such as the potential negative impact to financing arrangements, increased costs of operations, changes in law and/or regulation, and uncertainty regarding government and regulatory policy.


We have evaluated subsequent events from March 31, 20202021 through May 11, 2020.the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. However, as the discussion in this Item 7.2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations relates to the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly period end March 31, 2020,2021, the analysis contained herein may not fully account for impacts relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. In that regard, for example, as of March 31, 2020,2021, the Company valued its portfolio investments in conformity with U.S. GAAP based on the facts and circumstances known by the Company at that time, or reasonably expected to be known at that time. Due to the overall volatility that the COVID-19 pandemic hasmay have caused during the months that followedfollowing our most recent valuation (as of March 31, 2020 valuation,2021), any valuations conducted now or in the future in conformity with U.S. GAAP could result in a lower fair value of our portfolio. The longer-term impact of COVID-19 on the operations and the performance of the Company (including certain portfolio companies) is difficult to predict, but may also be adverse. The longer-term potential impact to our results going forward willon such operations and performance could depend to a large extent on future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by authorities and other entities to contain COVID-19 and its economic impact. The impacts, as well as the coronavirus or treat its impact, alluncertainty over impacts to come, of which are beyond our control. Accordingly,COVID-19 have adversely affected the performance of the Company cannot predictand may continue to do so in the extent to which its financial condition and results of operations will be affected at this time.

Overview


We are an externally-managed,a non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, we have elected, and intend to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.


Through December 31, 2020, we were an externally managed company. On November 18, 2020, the board of directors of the Company approved the adoption of an internalized management structure, effective January 1, 2021.

We commenced operations and completed our initial public offering on January 20, 2011. Our investmentUnder our internalized management structure, our activities are managed by MCC Advisorsour senior professionals and are supervised by our board of directors, of which a majority of the members are independent of us.


Our

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by lendingappreciation. The management team seeks to privately-held middle market companies,achieve this objective primarily through directly originated transactions,making loans, private equity or other investments in privately-held companies. The Company may also make debt, equity or other investments in publicly-traded companies. (These investments may also include investments in other BDCs, closed-end funds or REITS.) We may also pursue other strategic opportunities and invest in other assets or operate other businesses to help these companies fund acquisitions, growth or refinancing. Ourachieve our investment objective. The portfolio generally consists of senior secured first lien term loans, and senior secured second lien term loans.loans, senior secured bonds, preferred equity and common equity. Occasionally, we will receive warrants or other equity participation features which we believe will have the potential to increase the total investment returns.


Our loan and other debt investments are primarily rated below investment grade or are unrated. Investments in below investment grade securities are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due.

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. In addition, we are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% (or 150% if, pursuant to the 1940 Act, certain requirements are met) after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. To maintain our RIC tax treatment, we must meet specified source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to maintain our RIC tax treatment, we must timely distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, for the taxable year.

Effective January 4, 2021, the common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the trading symbol “PFX.”

Reverse Stock Split; Authorized Share Reduction

At the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 30, 2020 (the “Annual Meeting”), stockholders approved a proposal to grant discretionary authority to the Company’s board of directors to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect a reverse stock split of its common stock, of 1-20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and with the Reverse Stock Split to be effective at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the board of directors, but not later than 60 days after stockholder approval thereof and, if and when the reverse stock split is effected, reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock by the approved reverse stock split ratio (the “Authorized Share Reduction”).

Following the Annual Meeting, on July 7, 2020, the board of directors determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to implement the Reverse Stock Split and the Settlement (as defined below) set forth below are asAuthorized Share Reduction. Accordingly, on July 13, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of March 31, 2020. SubsequentAmendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to such date, the Amended MCC Merger Agreement (as defined below)Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement (as defined below) were terminated.

Instead, any stockholder who would be converted into the righthave been entitled to receive 0.8050 sharesa fractional share as a result of the Sierra’s common stock. Simultaneously, pursuant to the Agreement and PlanReverse Stock Split received cash payments in lieu of Merger (the “MDLY Merger Agreement”), dated as of August 9, 2018, by and among Medley Management Inc. (“MDLY”), Sierra, and Sierra Management, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sierra (“Merger Sub”), MDLY would, on the termssuch fractional shares (without interest and subject to the conditions set forth in the MDLY Merger Agreement, merge withbackup withholding and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the Merger (the “MDLY Merger” together with the MCC Merger, the “Mergers”), and MDLY’s existing asset management business would continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company. In the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time (other than Dissenting Shares (as defined in the MDLY Merger Agreement) and shares of MDLY Class A common stock held by MDLY, Sierra or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) would be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.3836 shares



of Sierra’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $3.44 per share. In addition, MDLY’s stockholders would have the right to receive certain dividends and/or other payments.

On July 29, 2019, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MCC Merger Agreement”), by and between the Company and Sierra, pursuant to which the Company will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, merge with and into Sierra, with Sierra as the surviving company in the MCC Merger. In the MCC Merger, each share of the Company’s common stock (other than shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Company, Sierra or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) will be exchanged for the right to receive (i) 0.68 shares of Sierra’s common stock if the attorneys’ fees of plaintiffs’ counsel and litigation expenses paid or incurred by plaintiffs’ counsel or advanced by plaintiffs in connection with the Delaware Action, as described below (such fees and expenses, the “Plaintiff Attorney Fees”), are less than or equal to $10,000,000; (ii) 0.66 shares of Sierra’s common stock if the Plaintiff Attorney Fees are equal to or greater than $15,000,000; (iii) between 0.68 and 0.66 per share of Sierra’s common stock if the Plaintiff Attorney Fees are greater than $10,000,000 but less than $15,000,000, calculated on a descending basis, based on straight line interpolation between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000; or (iv) 0.66 shares of Sierra’s common stock in the event that the Plaintiff Attorney Fees are not fully and finally determined prior to the closing of the MCC Merger (such ratio, the “MCC Merger Exchange Ratio”)applicable withholding taxes). Based upon the Plaintiff Attorney Fees approved by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court of Chancery”) as set forth in the Order and Final Judgment entered into on December 20, 2019, as described below (the “Delaware Order and Final Judgment”), the MCC Merger Exchange Ratio will be 0.66 shares of Sierra’s common stock. The Company and Sierra are appealing the Delaware Order and Final Judgment with respect to the Delaware Court of Chancery’s ruling on the Plaintiff Attorney Fees.

In addition, on July 29, 2019, Sierra and MDLY announced the execution of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MDLY Merger Agreement”), by and among MDLY, Sierra, and Merger Sub, pursuant to which MDLY will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the MDLY Merger. In the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, other than shares of MDLY Class A common stock held by MDLY, Sierra or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Excluded MDLY Shares”) and the Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement), held, immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, by any person other than a Medley LLC unitholder, will be exchanged for (i) 0.2668 shares of Sierra’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.96 per share. In addition, in the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, other than the Excluded MDLY Shares and the Dissenting Shares, held, immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, by Medley LLC unitholders will be exchanged for (i) 0.2072 shares of Sierra’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.66 per share.

Pursuant to terms of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, the consummation of the MCC Merger is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to closing under the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement and the consummation of the MDLY Merger. However, pursuant to the terms of the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, the consummation of the MDLY Merger is not contingent upon the consummation of the MCC Merger. If both Mergers are successfully consummated, Sierra’s common stock would be listed on the NYSE, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers, and Sierra’s common stock will be listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”), with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the MCC Merger. If, however, only the MDLY Merger is consummated, Sierra’s common stock would be listed on the NYSE. If both Mergers are successfully consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and Sierra would be combined, Merger Sub, as a successor to MDLY, would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company, and the Combined Company would be internally managed by MCC Advisors LLC, its wholly controlled adviser subsidiary. If only the MDLY Merger is consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and Sierra would not be combined; however, the investment management function relating to the operation of Sierra, as the surviving company, would still be internalized (the “Sierra/MDLY Company”) and the Sierra/MDLY Company would be managed by MCC Advisors.

The Mergers are subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company, Sierra, and MDLY, regulators, including the SEC, court approval of the Settlement (as described below), other customary closing conditions and third-party consents. There is no assurance that any of the foregoing conditions will be satisfied. The Company and Sierra have the right to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including (subject to certain limitations set forth in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement), among others: (i) by mutual written agreement of each party; (ii) any governmental entity whose consent or approval is a condition to closing set forth in Section 8.1 of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement has denied the granting of any such consent or approval and such denial has become final and nonappealable, or any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable order, injunction or decree permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Amended MCC Merger Agreement; (iii) the MCC Merger has not closed on or prior to March 31, 2020; or (iv) either party has failed to obtain stockholder approval or the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement has been terminated.

On February 11, 2019, a purported stockholder class action was commenced in the Delaware Court of Chancery by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd. (together, “FrontFour”), captioned as FrontFour Capital Group LLC, et al. v. Brook Taube et al., Case No. 2019-0100 (the “Delaware Action”) against defendants Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MDLY, Sierra, the Company, MCC Advisors, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC. The complaint, as amended on February 12, 2019, alleged that the individuals named as defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the MCC Merger, and that MDLY, Sierra, MCC Advisors, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint sought to enjoin the vote of MCC stockholders on the proposed merger and enjoin enforcement of certain provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2018, by and between MCC and Sierra (the “MCC Merger Agreement”).

The Delaware Court of Chancery held a trial on the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction and issued a Memorandum Opinion (the “Decision”) on March 11, 2019. The Delaware Court of Chancery denied the plaintiffs’ requests to (i) permanently enjoin the proposed merger and (ii) require the Company to conduct a “shopping process” for the Company on terms proposed by the plaintiffs in their complaint. The Delaware Court of Chancery held that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the proposed merger, but rejected the plaintiffs’ claim that Sierra aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duties. The Delaware Court of Chancery ordered the defendants to issue corrective disclosures consistent with the Decision, and enjoined a vote of the Company’s stockholders on the proposed merger until such disclosures had been made and stockholders had the opportunity to assimilate that information.



On March 20, 2019, another purported stockholder class action was commenced by Stephen Altman against Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Arthur S. Ainsberg, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, Mark Lerdal, and John E. Mack in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Altman v. Taube, Case No. 2019-0219 (the “Altman Action”). The complaint alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders of the Company in connection with the vote of the Company’s stockholders on the proposed mergers. On April 8, 2019, the Delaware Court of Chancery granted a stipulation consolidating the Delaware Action and the Altman Action, designating the amended complaint in the Delaware Action as the operative complaint, and designating the plaintiffs in the Delaware Action and their counsel the lead plaintiffs and lead plaintiffs’ counsel, respectively.

On December 20, 2019, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered into the Delaware Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement of the Delaware Action (the “Settlement”). Pursuant to the Settlement, the Company agreed to certain amendments to (i) the MCC Merger Agreement and (ii) the MDLY Merger Agreement, which amendments are reflected in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement. The Settlement also provides for, if the MCC Merger is consummated, the creation of a settlement fund, consisting of $17 million in cash and $30 million of Sierra’s common stock, with the number of shares of Sierra’s common stock to be calculated using the pro forma net asset value of $6.37 per share as of June 30, 2019, which will be distributed to eligible members of the Settlement Class (as defined in the Settlement). In addition, in connection with the Settlement, on July 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Governance Agreement with FrontFour Capital Group LLC, FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd., FrontFour Capital Corp., FrontFour Opportunity Fund, David A. Lorber, Stephen E. Loukas and Zachary R. George, pursuant to which, among other matters, FrontFour is subject to customary standstill restrictions and required to vote in favor of the revised MCC Merger at a meeting of stockholders to approve the revised MCC Merger Agreement. The Settlement also provides for mutual releases between and among FrontFour and the Settlement Class, on the one hand, and the Medley Parties, on the other hand, of all claims that were or could have been asserted in the Delaware Action through September 26, 2019.

The Delaware Court of Chancery also awarded attorney’s fees as follows: (i) an award of $3,000,000 to lead plaintiffs’ counsel and $75,000 to counsel to plaintiff Stephen Altman (the “Therapeutics Fee Award”) and $420,334.97 of plaintiff counsel expenses payable to the lead plaintiff’s counsel, which were paid on December 23, 2019, and (ii) an award that is contingent upon the closing of the proposed merger transactions (the “Contingent Fee Award”), consisting of:

a.$100,000 for the agreement to appoint an independent director on the board of directors of the post-merger company; and
b.    the amount calculated by solving for A in the following formula:

Award[A]=(Monetary Fund[M]+Award[A]-Look Through[L])*Percentage[P]

Where:

Ashall be the amount of the Additional Fee (excluding the $100,000 award for the agreement to appoint an independent director on the board of directors of the post-merger company);

Mshall be the sum of (i) the $17 million cash component of the Settlement Fund and (ii) the value of the post-merger company stock component of the Settlement Fund, which shall be calculated as the product of the VPS (as defined below) and 4,709,576.14 (the number of shares of post-merger company’s stock comprising the stock component of the net settlement amount);
Lshall be the amount representing the estimated value of the decrease in shares to be received by eligible class members arising by operation of the change in the “Exchange Ratio” under the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, calculated as follows:

L = ((ES * 68%) - (ES * 66%)) * VPS

Where:

ES    shall be the number of eligible shares;

VPSshall be the pro forma net asset value per share of the post-merger company’s common stock as of the closing as reported in the public disclosure filed nearest in time and after the closing (the “Closing NAV Disclosure”); and
P    shall equal 0.26

The Contingent Fee Award is contingent upon the closing of the MCC Merger. Payment of the Contingent Fee Award will be made in two stages. First, within five (5) business days of the establishment of the Settlement Fund, the Company or its successor shall (i) pay the plaintiffs’ counsel an estimate of the Contingent Fee Award (the “Additional Fee Estimate”), less twenty (20) percent (the “Additional Fee Estimate Payment”), and (ii) deposit the remaining twenty (20) percent of the Additional Fee Estimate into escrow (the “Escrowed Fee”). For purposes of calculating such estimate, the Company or its successor shall use the formula set above, except that VPS shall equal the pro forma net asset value of the post-merger company’s common stock as reported in the public disclosure filed nearest in time and prior to the closing (the “Closing NAV Estimate”).

Second, within five (5) business days of the Closing NAV Disclosure (as defined in the Order and Final Judgment), (i) if the Additional Fee is greater than the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, an amount of the Escrowed Fee shall be released to plaintiffs’ counsel such that the total payments made to plaintiffs’ counsel equal the Additional Fee and the remainder of the Escrowed Fee, if any, shall be released to the Company or its successor, (ii) if the Additional Fee is less than the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, plaintiffs’ counsel shall return to the Company or its successor the difference between


the Additional Fee Estimate and the Additional Fee and the Escrowed Fee shall be released to the Company or its successor, or (iii) if the Additional Fee is equal to the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, the Escrowed Fee shall be released to the Company or its successor.

On January 17, 2020, the Company and Sierra filed a notice of appeal with the Delaware Supreme Court from those provisions of the Order and Final Judgment with respect to the Contingent Fee Award.

Revenues


We generate revenue in the form of interest income on the debt that we hold and capital gains, if any, on warrants or other equity interests that we may acquire in portfolio companies. We invest our assets primarily in privately held companies with enterprise or asset values between $25 million and $250 million and focus on investment sizes of $10 million to $50 million. We believe that pursuing opportunities of this size offers several benefits including reduced competition, a larger investment opportunity set and the ability to minimize the impact of financial intermediaries. We expect our debt investments to bear interest at either a fixed or floating rate. Interest on debt will be payable generally either monthly or quarterly. In some cases our debt investments may provide for a portion of the interest to be PIK. To the extent interest is PIK, it will be payable through the increase of the principal amount of the obligation by the amount of interest due on the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of such obligation. The principal amount of the debt and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance or investment management services and possibly consulting fees. Any such fees will be generated in connection with our investments and recognized as earned.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources


As a RIC, we distribute substantially all of our net income to our stockholders and have an ongoing need to raise additional capital for investment purposes. To fund growth, we have a number of alternatives available to increase capital, including raising equity, increasing debt, and funding from operational cash flow.


Our liquidity and capital resources have been generated primarily from the net proceeds of public offerings of common stock, advances from the Revolving Credit Facility and net proceeds from the issuance of notes as well as cash flows from operations. In the future, we may generate cash from future offerings of securities, future borrowings and cash flows from operations, including interest earned from the temporary investment of cash in U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. Our primary use of funds is investments in our targeted asset classes, cash distributions to our stockholders, and other general corporate purposes.




As of March 31, 2020,2021, we had $61.1$59.1 million in cash and cash equivalents.


In order to maintain our RIC tax treatment under the Code, we intend to distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our taxable income, but we may also elect to periodically spill over certain excess undistributed taxable income from one tax year into the next tax year. In addition, as a BDC, we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities, which include borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200% (or 150% if, pursuant to the 1940 Act, certain requirements are met). This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow.

The Amendment amends the Deed by, among other things: (a) modifying Section 2.2 of the Deed to provide for full repayment of the Israeli Notes in eight (8) equal installments, each comprising twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the principal amount of the Israeli Notes, beginning on August 12, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) and ending on January 31, 2021, rather than four (4) equal annual installments, each comprising twenty five percent (25%) of the principal amount of the Israeli Notes, that were payable on February 27 of each of the years 2021-2024 (inclusive); (b) changing the interest payment dates for the Israeli Notes from semi-annual to quarterly except for the initial interest payment, which was paid on the Effective Date, and the final interest payment, which will be paid on January 31, 2021; (c) decreasing the annual interest rate on the Israeli Notes by 0.25% per annum on the Effective Date and further decreasing the annual interest rate on the Israeli Notes by 0.50% per annum if  the Mergers close, which further decrease will be effective upon the closing of the Mergers; (d) decreasing the minimum Total Net Asset covenant in Section 6.1.1 of the Deed from $275 million to $215 million; (e) modifying the acceleration event in Section 10.1.25 of the Deed to provide that it will occur if the credit rating on the Israeli Notes drops below (i) il/B of Maalot before November 30, 2019, (ii) il/BB- of Maalot during the period between December 1, 2019 and April 1, 2020, and (iii) il/BBB- of Maalot on or after April 1, 2020; (f) waiving the make-whole and market value payment requirements of Section 9.1.7 of the Deed for all early redemption payments on the Israeli Notes within eighteen (18) months following the Effective Date; (g) requiring each of Medley Small Business Fund and Medley SLF to guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Deed (including the Amendment) and the Israeli Notes and to grant security interests on all of their assets (the “Collateral”) to secure such guaranties and providing for the termination of the Medley SLF guaranty and release of the security interests in Medley SLF’s assets upon the closing of the Mergers, subject to certain limitations; (h) that the Company use principal collections from the Collateral to make early redemption payments on the Israeli Notes, which payments will be applied in inverse order of the maturity of the required principal installment payments on the Israeli Notes; (i) providing for a waiver by the


Trustee and the holders of the Israeli Notes of any right to accelerate the full balance of the amount due to the holders of the Israeli Notes based on any claims, allegations, actions, and/or rights that were raised, and/or resulting or deriving from certain claims or allegations as set forth in Section 19.1 of the Amendment; (j) providing for a waiver by the Trustee and the holders of the Israeli Notes of certain claims, demands, rights, and/or actions against and/or relating to the Company, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates and their respective employees (including their respective directors, officers, members of the Company’s board of directors, employees, stockholders, stakeholders and advisors); and (k) adding other definitions, representations and covenants to the Deed and making related conforming changes to the Deed. Pursuant to the Amendment, no prepayment penalties were due or payable in connection with the payment of principal made by the Company on the Effective Date.

The Deed (including the Amendment) includes certain customary covenants, including minimum net assets of $215 million and a maximum debt to total assets ratio of 70%. The date for determining compliance with these financial covenants is the date that the Company publishes its financial statements (i.e., in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q or an annual report on Form 10-K) with the SEC. If the Company does not satisfy these financial covenants for two consecutive quarters, it is an event of default under the Deed. If this event of default is expected to occur, the Company has the right to request the trustee for the Israeli Notes (the “Trustee”) to appoint an emergency committee of the three largest noteholders for the purpose of obtaining a one-quarter extension of time to satisfy the financial covenants. If the Company does not make this request and the breach occurs, or if the emergency committee does not grant the extension, then the Trustee is required to convene a meeting of the noteholders as described below.

In addition to not complying with the financial covenants as described above, the events of default include: (i) a change of control of the Company (defined in the Deed as MCC Advisors’ ceasing to provide investment management or advisory services to the Company); (ii) the Company not publishing a tender offer for the purchase of all of the Israeli Notes within 45 days; (iii) the Company not paying any amount due and payable to the holders of the Israeli Notes within seven business days after the payment due date; (iv) certain insolvency and receivership events with respect to the Company or with respect to all or substantially all of its assets, and (v) the Israeli Notes being delisted from the TASE or the TASE’s suspension of trading of the Israeli Notes for more than 60 days.

If an event of default occurs under the Deed, there is no automatic acceleration or mandatory redemption of the Israeli Notes. Rather, the Trustee is required to convene a meeting of the noteholders for a vote on whether to accelerate the Israeli Notes. Noteholders holding at least 50% of the principal amount of the Israeli Notes must be present at the meeting for a quorum to exist, and if a quorum exists, then the vote of a majority of the noteholders present at the meeting controls.

The foregoing description of the terms of Israeli Notes, the Deed, and the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of the Deed and the Amendment incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

On June 5, 2018, the Company announced that on June 1, 2018, its board of directors authorized the Company to repurchase and retire up to $20 million of the Company’s outstanding Israeli Notes on the TASE. Execution of the repurchase plan is subject to an open trading window for the Company and continued liquidity at that time and is expected to continue until the full authorized amount is purchased or market conditions change. The repurchase of the Israeli Notes is not expected to result in any material tax consequences to the Company or the holders of the Israeli Notes.


During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company exchanged $1.0 million United States Dollars to New Israeli Shekels at a rate of 3.73 USD/NIS in order to repurchase the Israeli Notes on the TASE. As the Israeli Notes were trading below par at the time of the repurchase, and the USD/NIS (foreign currency) spot rate was higher than the fixed exchange rate agreed upon in the deed of trust, the Company was able to repurchase and retire 3,812,000 units, which resulted in $1,119,201 aggregate principal amount of the Israeli Notes being retired. The redemption was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which resulted in a realized gain of $0.1 million and was recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a gain on extinguishment of debt.


On December 31, 2019 in addition to the scheduled 12.5% quarterly amortization payment, the Company used proceeds from its principal collections in MedleyPhenixFIN SLF and MedleyPhenixFIN Small Business Fund to pre-pay an additional $19.1 million of the Israeli Notes. The pre-payment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which resulted in a realized loss of $0.9 million and was recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a net loss on extinguishment of debt.

On March 31, 2020, in addition to the scheduled 12.5% quarterly amortization payment, the Company used proceeds from its principal repayments in assets held by MedleyPhenixFIN SLF and MedleyPhenixFIN Small Business Fund to pre-pay an additional $19.8 million of the Israeli Notes. The pre-payment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which resulted in a realized loss of $0.9 million and was recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a net loss on extinguishment of debt.


On April 14, 2020, the Company repaid the remaining $21.1 million of Israeli Notes outstanding, and as such is no longer subject to any covenants relating thereto. The Israeli Notes were redeemed at 100% of their principal amount, plus the accrued interest thereon, through April 14, 2020.


SBA Debentures

On March 26, 2013, SBIC LP received a SBIC license from the SBA. The SBIC license allowed SBIC LP to obtain leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures (“SBA Debentures”), subject to the issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. SBA Debentures were non-recourse, interest only debentures with interest payable semi-annually and had a ten year maturity. The principal amount of SBA Debentures were not required to be paid prior to maturity but may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The interest rate of SBA Debentures were fixed on a semi-annual basis at a market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with 10-year maturities. The SBA, as a creditor, had a superior claim to the SBIC LP’s assets over our stockholders in the event we liquidated the SBIC LP or the SBA exercised its remedies under the SBA Debentures issued by the SBIC LP upon an event of default.

On September 1, 2018, the Company repaid $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the SBA Debentures. The repayment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which resulted in a realized loss of $0.2 million and was recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a loss on extinguishment of debt.



SBIC LP received a letter from the SBA (the “SBA Letter”), dated March 14, 2019, informing SBIC LP of certain alleged regulatory issues constituting a default under the terms of the SBIC LP’s outstanding SBA Debentures. The SBA Letter stated that SBIC LP had until March 29, 2019, fifteen (15) days from the date of the SBA Letter, to provide the SBA with certain additional information regarding the alleged regulatory issues, unless extended by the SBA. SBIC LP’s management submitted an orderly wind-down plan to the SBA to prepay the remaining $135.0 million of outstanding SBA Debentures using available cash at SBIC LP as well as the sale of assets to third parties or affiliates of SBIC LP. On March 28, 2019, SBIC LP agreed and made a repayment of $50.0 million of outstanding SBA Debentures by April 3, 2019 using available cash at SBIC LP and the cure period was extended to April 19, 2019. On April 18, 2019, SBIC LP agreed and made a repayment of $20.0 million of outstanding SBA Debentures on April 23, 2019 and an additional $30.0 million of outstanding SBA Debentures on April 30, 2019 using proceeds from the sale of certain assets and the cure period was extended to May 10, 2019. On May 10, 2019, SBIC LP made the final repayment of the remaining $35.0 million of outstanding SBA Debentures using proceeds from the sale of certain assets. In connection therewith, effective July 1, 2019, SBIC LP surrendered its SBIC license and operates as Medley Small Business Fund.

The $135.0 million in aggregate repayments made in connection with the orderly wind-down plan was accounted for as debt extinguishments in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which resulted in a cumulative realized loss of $1.8 million and was recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

The Company believes the wind-down plan of SBIC LP will not have a material impact on the Company’s net investment income per share. In addition, the Company believes the wind-down will not have an adverse impact on the Company’s other operations. The Company has received the necessary consents and waivers under the MCC Merger Agreement to permit the repayment of the outstanding SBA Debentures.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company has a guarantee to issue up to $7.0 million in standby letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of a certain portfolio company. Under this arrangement, if the standby letters of credit were to be issued, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio company was to default on its related payment obligations. The guarantee will renew annually until cancellation.

As of March 31, 20202021 and September 30, 2019, the Company had not issued any standby letters of credit under the commitment on behalf of the portfolio company.


As of March 31, 2020, and September 30, 2019, we had commitments under loan and financing agreements to fund up to $4.6$5.1 million to seven portfolio companies and $8.9$5.0 million to sevensix portfolio companies, respectively. These commitments are primarily composed of senior secured term loans and revolvers, and the determination of their fair value is included in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The commitments are generally subject to the borrowers meeting certain criteria such as compliance with covenants and certain operational metrics. The terms of the borrowings and financings subject to commitment are comparable to the terms of other loan and equity securities in our portfolio. A summary of the composition of the unfunded commitments as of March 31, 20202021 and September 30, 20192020 is shown in the table below (dollars in thousands):

We have certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. We have entered into an investment management agreement with MCC Advisors (the “Investment Management Agreement”) in accordance with the 1940 Act. The Investment Management Agreement became effective upon the pricing of our initial public offering. Under the Investment Management Agreement, MCC Advisors has agreed to provide us with investment advisory and management services. For these services, we have agreed to pay a base management fee equal to a percentage of our gross assets and an incentive fee based on our performance.


We have also entered into an administration agreement with MCC Advisors as our administrator. The administration agreement became effective upon the pricing of our initial public offering. Under the administration agreement, MCC Advisors has agreed to furnish us with office facilities and equipment, provide us clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities and provide us with other administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. MCC Advisors will also provideprovided on our behalf significant managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance.




The Investment Management Agreement and administration agreement expired at the close of business on December 31, 2020, in connection with the Company’s adoption of an internalized management structure.

The following table shows our payment obligations for repayment of debt and other contractual obligations at March 31, 20202021 (dollars in thousands):

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

On March 27, 2015, the Company and Great American Life Insurance Company (“GALIC”) entered into a limited liability company operating agreement to co-manage MCC Senior Loan Strategy JV I LLC (“MCC JV”). The Company and GALIC havehad committed to provide $100 million of equity to MCC JV, with the Company providing $87.5 million and GALIC providing $12.5 million. Approximately $89.8 million was funded as of March 31, 2020 relating to these commitments, of which $78.6 million was from the Company. As of March 31, 2020, MCC JV’s board of managers had approved advances of capital of up to $0.3 million of the remaining capital commitments, of which $0.2 million is from the Company.


MCC JV commenced operations on July 15, 2015. On August 4, 2015, MCC JV entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “JV Facility”) led by Credit Suisse, AG with commitments of $100 million. On March 30, 2017, the Company amended the JV Facility previously administered by CS and facilitated the assignment of all rights and obligations of CS under the JV Facility to Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, (“DB”) and increased the total loan commitments to $200 million. The JV Facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR (with no minimum + 2.75% per annum. On March 29, 2019, the JV Facility reinvestment period was extended to June 28, 2019 from March 30, 2019. On June 28, 2019, the JV Facility reinvestment period was extended to October 28, 2019. On October 28, 2019, the JV Facility reinvestment period was further extended from October 28, 2019 to March 31, 2020, the maturity date was extended to March 31, 2023 and the interest rate was modified from bearing an interest rate of LIBOR (with no minimum) + 2.50% per annum to LIBOR (with no minimum) + 2.75% per annum. As of March 31, 2020, MCC JV has drawn approximately $179.3 million on the JV Facility.


As of March 31, 2020, MCC JV had total investments at fair value of $208.2 million. As of March 31, 2020, MCC JV’s portfolio was comprised of senior secured first lien term loans to 60 different borrowers. As of March 31, 2020, certain investments in one portfolio company were on non-accrual status.

The Company has determined that MCC JV is an investment company under ASC 946, however in accordance with such guidance, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly owned investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate its interest in MCC JV.

On October 8, 2020, the Company, GALIC, MCC JV, and an affiliate of Golub entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement pursuant to which a fund affiliated with and managed by Golub concurrently purchased all of the Company’s interest in the MCC JV and all of GALIC’s interest in the MCC JV for a pre-adjusted gross purchase price of $156.4 million and an adjusted gross purchase price (which constitutes the aggregate consideration for the membership interests) of $145.3 million (giving effect to adjustments primarily for principal and interest payments from portfolio companies of MCC JV from July 1, 2020 through October 7, 2020), resulting in net proceeds (before transaction expenses) of $41.0 million and $6.6 million for MCC and GALIC, respectively, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, including the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities contained therein. In connection with the closing of the transaction on October 8, 2020, MCC JV repaid in full all outstanding borrowings under, and terminated, its senior secured revolving credit facility, dated as of August 4, 2015, as amended, administered by Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch.

Distributions


We have elected, and intend to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, in any taxable year with respect to which we timely distribute at least 90 percent of the sum of our (i) investment company taxable income (which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and (ii) net tax exempt interest income (which is the excess of our gross tax exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions), we (but not our stockholders) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on investment company taxable income and net capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders. We intend to distribute annually all or substantially all of such income, but we may also elect to periodically spill over certain excess undistributed taxable income from one tax year to the next tax year. To the extent that we retain our net capital gains or any investment company taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax. We may choose to retain our net capital gains or any investment company taxable income, and pay the associated federal corporate income tax, including the federal excise tax described below.


Amounts not distributed on a timely basis in accordance with a calendar year distribution requirement are subject to a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax payable by us. To avoid this tax, we must distribute (or be deemed to have distributed) during each calendar year an amount equal to the sum of:


1)at least 98.0% of our ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for the calendar year;

2)at least 98.2% of the amount by which our capital gains exceed our capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period ending on October 31st of the calendar year; and

3)income realized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which we did not pay federal income tax.

While we intend to distribute any income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize imposition of the 4% U.S. federal excise tax, sufficient amounts of our taxable income and capital gains may not be distributed to avoid entirely the imposition of the tax. In that event, we will be liable for the tax only on the amount by which we do not meet the foregoing distribution requirement.


We intend to pay quarterly dividends to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. We cannot assure you that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to pay a specified level of dividends or year-to-year increases in dividends. In addition, the inability to satisfy the



asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC could limit our ability to pay dividends. All dividends will be paid at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, our financial condition, maintenance of our RIC tax treatment, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time. We cannot assure you that we will pay dividends to our stockholders in the future.

To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for a taxable year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our ordinary income or gains.

We have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a cash dividend or other distribution, each stockholder that has not “opted out” of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock rather than receiving cash dividends. Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of shares of common stock will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.


There were no dividend distributions during the six months ended March 31, 2020:


2021.

In addition, on July 29, 2019, Sierra and MDLY announced the execution of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MDLY Merger Agreement”), by and among MDLY, Sierra, and Merger Sub, pursuant to which MDLY will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving company


in the MDLY Merger. In the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, other than shares of MDLY Class A common stock held by MDLY, Sierra or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Excluded MDLY Shares”) and the Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement), held, immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, by any person other than a Medley LLC unitholder, will be exchanged for (i) 0.2668 shares of Sierra’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.96 per share. In addition, in the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, other than the Excluded MDLY Shares and the Dissenting Shares, held, immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, by Medley LLC unitholders will be exchanged for (i) 0.2072 shares of Sierra’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.66 per share.

Pursuant to terms of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, the consummation of the MCC Merger is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to closing under the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement and the consummation of the MDLY Merger. However, pursuant to the terms of the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, the consummation of the MDLY Merger is not contingent upon the consummation of the MCC Merger. If both Mergers are successfully consummated, Sierra’s common stock would be listed on the NYSE, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers, and Sierra’s common stock will be listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”), with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the MCC Merger. If, however, only the MDLY Merger is consummated, Sierra’s common stock would be listed on the NYSE. If both Mergers are successfully consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and Sierra would be combined, Merger Sub, as a successor to MDLY, would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company, and the Combined Company would be internally managed by MCC Advisors LLC, its wholly controlled adviser subsidiary. If only the MDLY Merger is consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and Sierra would not be combined; however, the investment management function relating to the operation of Sierra, as the surviving company, would still be internalized (the “Sierra/MDLY Company”) and the Sierra/MDLY Company would be managed by MCC Advisors.

The Mergers are subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company, Sierra, and MDLY, regulators, including the SEC, court approval of the Settlement (as described below), other customary closing conditions and third-party consents. There is no assurance that any of the foregoing conditions will be satisfied. The Company and Sierra have the right to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including (subject to certain limitations set forth in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement), among others: (i) by mutual written agreement of each party; (ii) any governmental entity whose consent or approval is a condition to closing set forth in Section 8.1 of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement has denied the granting of any such consent or approval and such denial has become final and nonappealable, or any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable order, injunction or decree permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Amended MCC Merger Agreement; (iii) the MCC Merger has not closed on or prior to March 31, 2020; or (iv) either party has failed to obtain stockholder approval or the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement has been terminated.

On February 11, 2019, a purported stockholder class action was commenced in the Delaware Court of Chancery by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd. (together, “FrontFour”), captioned as FrontFour Capital Group LLC, et al. v. Brook Taube et al., Case No. 2019-0100 (the “Delaware Action”) against defendants Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MDLY, Sierra, the Company, MCC Advisors, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC. The complaint, as amended on February 12, 2019, alleged that the individuals named as defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the MCC Merger, and that MDLY, Sierra, MCC Advisors, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint sought to enjoin the vote of MCC stockholders on the proposed merger and enjoin enforcement of certain provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2018, by and between MCC and Sierra (the “MCC Merger Agreement”).

The Delaware Court of Chancery held a trial on the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction and issued a Memorandum Opinion (the “Decision”) on March 11, 2019. The Delaware Court of Chancery denied the plaintiffs’ requests to (i) permanently enjoin the proposed merger and (ii) require the Company to conduct a “shopping process” for the Company on terms proposed by the plaintiffs in their complaint. The Delaware Court of Chancery held that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the proposed merger, but rejected the plaintiffs’ claim that Sierra aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duties. The Delaware Court of Chancery ordered the defendants to issue corrective disclosures consistent with the Decision, and enjoined a vote of the Company’s stockholders on the proposed merger until such disclosures had been made and stockholders had the opportunity to assimilate that information.

On March 20, 2019, another purported stockholder class action was commenced by Stephen Altman against Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Arthur S. Ainsberg, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, Mark Lerdal, and John E. Mack in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Altman v. Taube, Case No. 2019-0219 (the “Altman Action”). The complaint alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders of the Company in connection with the vote of the Company’s stockholders on the proposed mergers. On April 8, 2019, the Delaware Court of Chancery granted a stipulation consolidating the Delaware Action and the Altman Action, designating the amended complaint in the Delaware Action as the operative complaint, and designating the plaintiffs in the Delaware Action and their counsel the lead plaintiffs and lead plaintiffs’ counsel, respectively.

On December 20, 2019, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered the Delaware Opinion approving the settlement of the Delaware Action (the “Settlement”). Pursuant to the Settlement, the Company agreed to certain amendments to (i) the MCC Merger Agreement and (ii) the MDLY Merger Agreement, which amendments are reflected in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement. The Settlement also provides for, if the MCC Merger is consummated, the creation of a settlement fund, consisting of $17 million in cash and $30 million of Sierra’s common stock, with the number of shares of Sierra’s common stock to be calculated using the pro forma net asset value of $6.37 per share as of June 30, 2019, which will be distributed to eligible members of the Settlement Class (as defined in the Settlement). In addition, in connection with the Settlement, on July 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Governance Agreement with FrontFour Capital Group LLC, FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd., FrontFour Capital Corp., FrontFour Opportunity Fund, David A. Lorber, Stephen E. Loukas and Zachary R. George, pursuant to which, among other matters, FrontFour is subject to customary standstill restrictions and required to vote in favor of the revised MCC Merger at a meeting of stockholders to approve the revised MCC Merger Agreement. The Settlement also provides for mutual releases between and among FrontFour and the Settlement Class, on the one hand, and the Medley Parties, on the other hand, of all claims that were or could have been asserted in the Delaware Action through September 26, 2019.

The Delaware Court of Chancery also awarded attorney’s fees as follows: (i) an award of $3,000,000 to lead plaintiffs’ counsel and $75,000 to counsel to plaintiff Stephen Altman (the “Therapeutics Fee Award”) and $420,334.97 of plaintiff counsel expenses payable to the lead plaintiff’s counsel, which


were paid on December 23, 2019, and (ii) an award that is contingent upon the closing of the proposed merger transactions (the “Contingent Fee Award”), consisting of:

a.$100,000 for the agreement to appoint an independent director on the board of directors of the post-merger company; and
b.    the amount calculated by solving for A in the following formula:

Award[A]=(Monetary Fund[M]+Award[A]-Look Through[L])*Percentage[P]

Where:

Ashall be the amount of the Additional Fee (excluding the $100,000 award for the agreement to appoint an independent director on the board of directors of the post-merger company);

Mshall be the sum of (i) the $17 million cash component of the Settlement Fund and (ii) the value of the post-merger company stock component of the Settlement Fund, which shall be calculated as the product of the VPS (as defined below) and 4,709,576.14 (the number of shares of post-merger company’s stock comprising the stock component of the net settlement amount);
Lshall be the amount representing the estimated value of the decrease in shares to be received by eligible class members arising by operation of the change in the “Exchange Ratio” under the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, calculated as follows:

L = ((ES * 68%) - (ES * 66%)) * VPS

Where:

ES    shall be the number of eligible shares;

VPSshall be the pro forma net asset value per share of the post-merger company’s common stock as of the closing as reported in the public disclosure filed nearest in time and after the closing (the “Closing NAV Disclosure”); and
P    shall equal 0.26

The Contingent Fee Award is contingent upon the closing of the MCC Merger. Payment of the Contingent Fee Award will be made in two stages. First, within five (5) business days of the establishment of the Settlement Fund, the Company or its successor shall (i) pay the plaintiffs’ counsel an estimate of the Contingent Fee Award (the “Additional Fee Estimate”), less twenty (20) percent (the “Additional Fee Estimate Payment”), and (ii) deposit the remaining twenty (20) percent of the Additional Fee Estimate into escrow (the “Escrowed Fee”). For purposes of calculating such estimate, the Company or its successor shall use the formula set above, except that VPS shall equal the pro forma net asset value of the post-merger company’s common stock as reported in the public disclosure filed nearest in time and prior to the closing (the “Closing NAV Estimate”).

Second, within five (5) business days of the Closing NAV Disclosure (as defined in the Order and Final Judgment), (i) if the Additional Fee is greater than the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, an amount of the Escrowed Fee shall be released to plaintiffs’ counsel such that the total payments made to plaintiffs’ counsel equal the Additional Fee and the remainder of the Escrowed Fee, if any, shall be released to the Company or its successor, (ii) if the Additional Fee is less than the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, plaintiffs’ counsel shall return to the Company or its successor the difference between the Additional Fee Estimate and the Additional Fee and the Escrowed Fee shall be released to the Company or its successor, or (iii) if the Additional Fee is equal to the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, the Escrowed Fee shall be released to the Company or its successor.

On January 17, 2020, the Company and Sierra filed a notice of appeal with the Delaware Supreme Court from those provisions of the Order and Final Judgment with respect to the Contingent Fee Award.

MCC Advisors and its affiliates may in the future manage other accounts that have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. MCC Advisors and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other accounts. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, and pursuant to MCC Advisors’ allocation policy, MCC Advisors or its affiliates may determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other accounts. We will not make any investments if they are not permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, the exemptive order granted by the SEC, or if they are inconsistent with MCC Advisors’ allocation procedures. Further, any investments made by related parties will be made in accordance with MCC Advisors’ related party transaction procedures.

directors.

On November 25, 2013, the Company obtained an exemptive order from the SEC that permits us to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with certain affiliates, each of whose investment adviser is Medley, LLC or an investment adviser controlled by Medley, LLC in a manner consistent with our investment objective, strategies and restrictions, as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors (the “Prior Exemptive Order”). On March 29, 2017, the Company, MCC Advisors and certain other affiliated funds and investment advisers received an exemptive order (the “Exemptive Order”) that supersedes the Prior Exemptive Order and allows affiliated registered investment companies to participate in co-investment transactions with us that would otherwise have been prohibited under Section 17(d) and 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder. On October 4, 2017, the Company, MCC Advisors and certain of our affiliates received an exemptive order that supersedes the Exemptive Order (the “Current Exemptive Order”) and allows, in addition to the entities already covered by the Exemptive Order, Medley LLC and its subsidiary, Medley Capital LLC, to the extent they hold financial assets in a principal capacity, and any direct or indirect, wholly or majority owned subsidiary of Medley LLC that is formed



in the future, to participate in co-investment transactions with us that would otherwise be prohibited by either or both of Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act. However, neither we nor the affiliated funds are obligated to invest or co-invest when investment opportunities are referred to us or them.

The Company does not expect to avail itself of the current exemptive order, given the internalization and termination of the Investment Management Agreement.

In addition, we have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of our and MCC Advisors’ officers, directors, employees and employees.certain other individuals. Our officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by both the 1940 Act and the Delaware General Corporation Law.


Investment Management Agreement


We entered into an investment management agreement with MCC Advisors (the “Investment Management Agreement”), which expired December 31, 2020. Mr. Brook Taube, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer through December 31, 2020 and director through January 21, 2021 and Mr. Seth Taube, director through January 21, 2021 are affiliated with MCC Advisors and Medley.

Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, MCC Advisors:


determines the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;

identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments we make (including performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies); and

executes, closes, monitors and administers the investments we make, including the exercise of any voting or consent rights.

determined the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;

identified, evaluated and negotiated the structure of the investments we made (including performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies); and

executed, closed, monitored and administered the investments we made, including the exercise of any voting or consent rights.

MCC Advisors’ services under the Investment Management Agreement arewere not exclusive, and it iswas free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its services to us arewere not impaired.


Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, we paypaid MCC Advisors a fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of a base management fee and a two-part incentive fee.


On December 3, 2015, MCC Advisors recommended and, in consultation with the Board, agreed to reduce fees under the Investment Management Agreement. Beginning January 1, 2016, the base management fee was reduced to 1.50% on gross assets above $1 billion. In addition, MCC Advisors reduced its incentive fee from 20% on pre-incentive fee net investment income over an 8% hurdle, to 17.5% on pre-incentive fee net investment income over a 6% hurdle. Moreover, the revised incentive fee includes a netting mechanism and is subject to a rolling three-year look back from January 1, 2016 forward. Under no circumstances willwould the new fee structure result in higher fees to MCC Advisors than fees under the prior investment management agreement.

The following discussion of our base management fee and two-part incentive fee reflectsreflect the terms of the fee waiver agreement executed by MCC Advisors on February 8, 2016 (the “Fee Waiver Agreement”). The terms of the Fee Waiver Agreement arewere effective as of January 1, 2016, and arewere a permanent reduction in the base management fee and incentive fee on net investment income payable to MCC Advisors for the investment advisory and management services it providesprovided under the Investment Management Agreement. The Fee Waiver Agreement doesdid not change the second component of the incentive fee, which iswas the incentive fee on capital gains.


On January 15, 2020, the Company’s board of directors, including all of the independent directors, approved the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement through the later of April 1, 2020 or so long as the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MCC Merger Agreement isAgreement”), by and between the Company and Sierra (the “Amended MCC Merger Agreement”) was in effect, but no longer than a year; provided that, if the Amended MCC Merger Agreement is terminated by Sierra, then the termination of the Investment Management Agreement would be effective on the 30th day following receipt of Sierra’s notice of termination to the Company. TheOn May 1, 2020, the Company received a notice of termination of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement from Sierra. Under the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, either party was terminatedpermitted, subject to certain conditions, to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement if the merger was not consummated by March 31, 2020. Sierra elected to do so on May 1, 2020. See “Recent Developments” for more information.


As result of the termination by Sierra of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement on May 1, 2020, the Investment Management Agreement would have been terminated effective as of May 31, 2020. On May 21, 2020, the Board, including all of the independent directors, extended the term of the Investment Management Agreement through the end of the then-current quarter, June 30, 2020. On June 15, 2020, the Board, including all of the independent directors, extended the term of the Investment Management Agreement through the end of the then-current quarter, September 30, 2020. On September 29, the Board, including all of the independent directors, extended the term of the Investment Management Agreement through December 31, 2020.

On November 18, 2020, the Board approved the adoption of an internalized management structure effective January 1, 2021. The new management structure replaces the current Investment Management and Administration Agreements with MCC Advisors LLC, which expired on December 31, 2020. To lead the internalized management team, the Board approved the appointment of David Lorber, who has served as an independent director of the Company since April 2019, as interim Chief Executive Officer, and Ellida McMillan as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, each effective January 1, 2021. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Lorber stepped down from the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, and the Special Committee of the Board.

Base Management Fee


For

Through December 31, 2020, for providing investment advisory and management services to us, MCC Advisors receivesreceived a base management fee. The base management fee iswas calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% (0.4375% per quarter) of up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s gross assets and 1.50% (0.375% per quarter) of any amounts over $1.0 billion of the Company’s gross assets and iswas payable quarterly in arrears. The base management fee willwas to be calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters and willwas to be appropriately pro-rated for any partial quarter.


Incentive Fee


The

Through December 31, 2020, the incentive fee hashad two components, as follows:


Incentive Fee Based on Income


The first component of the incentive fee iswas payable quarterly in arrears and iswas based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income earned during the calendar quarter for which the incentive fee iswas being calculated. MCC Advisors iswas entitled to receive the incentive fee on net investment income from us if our Ordinary Income (as defined below) exceedsexceeded a quarterly “hurdle rate” of 1.5%. The hurdle amount iswas calculated after making appropriate adjustments to the Company’s net assets, as determined as of the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter, in order to account for any capital raising or other capital actions as a result of any issuances by the Company of its common stock (including issuances pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan), any repurchase by the Company of its own common stock, and any dividends paid by the Company, each as may have occurred during the relevant quarter.


Beginning with the calendar quarter that commenced on January 1, 2016, the incentive fee on net investment income iswas determined and paid quarterly in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter by reference to our aggregate net investment income, as adjusted as described below, from the calendar quarter then ending and the eleven preceding calendar quarters (or if shorter, the number of quarters that have occurred since January 1, 2016). We refer to such period as the “Trailing Twelve Quarters.”




The hurdle amount for the incentive fee on net investment income iswas determined on a quarterly basis and iswas equal to 1.5% multiplied by the Company’s net asset value at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The hurdle amount iswas calculated after making appropriate adjustments to the Company’s net assets, as determined as of the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter, in order to account for any capital raising or other capital actions as a result of any issuances by the Company of its common stock (including issuances pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan), any repurchase by the Company of its own common stock, and any dividends paid by the Company, each as may have occurred during the relevant quarter. The incentive fee for any partial period willwas to be appropriately prorated.pro-rated. Any incentive fee on net investment income willwas to be paid to MCC Advisors on a quarterly basis and willwas to be based on the amount by which (A) aggregate net investment income (“Ordinary Income”) in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters exceedsexceeded (B) the hurdle amount for such Trailing Twelve Quarters. The amount of the excess of (A) over (B) described in this paragraph for such Trailing Twelve Quarters is referred to as the “Excess Income Amount.” For the avoidance of doubt, Ordinary Income iswas net of all fees and expenses, including the reduced base management fee but excluding any incentive fee on Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income or on the Company’s capital gains.

70


Determination of Quarterly Incentive Fee Based on Income


The incentive fee on net investment income for each quarter iswas determined as follows:


No incentive fee on net investment income is payable to MCC Advisors for any calendar quarter for which there is no Excess Income Amount;

100% of the Ordinary Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle amount, but is less than or equal to an amount, which we refer to as the “Catch-up Amount,” determined as the sum of 1.8182% multiplied by the Company’s net assets at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter, as adjusted as noted above, comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters is included in the calculation of the incentive fee on net investment income; and

17.5% of the Ordinary Income that exceeds the Catch-up Amount is included in the calculation of the incentive fee on net investment income.

No incentive fee on net investment income was payable to MCC Advisors for any calendar quarter for which there was no Excess Income Amount;

100% of the Ordinary Income, if any, that exceeded the hurdle amount, but was less than or equal to an amount, which we refer to as the “Catch-up Amount,” determined as the sum of 1.8182% multiplied by the Company’s net assets at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter, as adjusted as noted above, comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters was included in the calculation of the incentive fee on net investment income; and

17.5% of the Ordinary Income that exceeds the Catch-up Amount was included in the calculation of the incentive fee on net investment income.

The amount of the incentive fee on net investment income that willwas to be paid to MCC Advisors for a particular quarter willwould equal the excess of the incentive fee so calculated minus the aggregate incentive fees on net investment income that were paid in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters (or the portion thereof) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters but not in excess of the Incentive Fee Cap (as described below).


The incentive fee on net investment income that iswas paid to MCC Advisors for a particular quarter iswas subject to a cap (the “Incentive Fee Cap”). The Incentive Fee Cap for any quarter iswas an amount equal to (a) 17.5% of the Cumulative Net Return (as defined below) during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (b) the aggregate incentive fees on net investment income that were paid in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters (or the portion thereof) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters.


“Cumulative Net Return” means (x) the Ordinary Income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (y) any Net Capital Loss (as described below), if any, in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap iswas zero or a negative value, the Company willwould pay no incentive fee on net investment income to MCC Advisors for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter iswas a positive value but is less than the incentive fee on net investment income that iswas payable to MCC Advisors for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Company willwould pay an incentive fee on net investment income to MCC Advisors equal to the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter iswas equal to or greater than the incentive fee on net investment income that iswas payable to MCC Advisors for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Company willwould pay an incentive fee on net investment income to MCC Advisors, 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, and dilution to the Company’s net assets due to capital raising or capital actions, in such period and (ii) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized and accretion to the Company’s net assets due to capital raising or capital action, in such period.


Dilution to the Company’s net assets due to capital raising iswas calculated, in the case of issuances of common stock, as the amount by which the net asset value per share was adjusted over the transaction price per share, multiplied by the number of shares issued. Accretion to the Company’s net assets due to capital raising iswas calculated, in the case of issuances of common stock (including issuances pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan), as the excess of the transaction price per share over the amount by which the net asset value per share was adjusted, multiplied by the number of shares issued. Accretion to the Company’s net assets due to other capital action iswas calculated, in the case of repurchases by the Company of its own common stock, as the excess of the amount by which the net asset value per share was adjusted over the transaction price per share multiplied by the number of shares repurchased by the Company.


For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of the new incentive fee calculation under the Fee Waiver Agreement iswas to permanently reduce aggregate fees payable to MCC Advisors by the Company, effective as of January 1, 2016. In order to ensure that the Company willwould pay MCC Advisors lesser aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated beginning January 1, 2016, we will,had, at the end of each quarter, also calculatecalculated the base management fee and incentive fee on net investment income owed by the Company to MCC Advisors based on the formula in place prior to January 1, 2016. If, at any time beginning January 1, 2016, the aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated based on the formula in place after January 1, 2016, would bewere greater than the aggregate fees on a cumulative basis, as calculated based on the formula in place prior to January 1, 2016, MCC Advisors shallwere only be entitled to the lesser of those two amounts.


The second component of the incentive fee iswas determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Management Agreement as of the termination date) and equalsequaled 20.0% of our cumulative aggregate realized capital gains less cumulative realized capital losses, unrealized capital depreciation (unrealized depreciation on a gross investment-by-investment basis at the end of each calendar year) and all capital gains upon which prior performance-based capital gains incentive fee payments were previously made to the investment adviser.




Under GAAP, the Company calculatescalculated the second component of the incentive fee as if the Company had realized all assets at their fair values as of the reporting date. Accordingly, when applicable, the Company accruesaccrued a provisional capital gains incentive fee taking into account any unrealized gains or losses. As the provisional capital gains incentive fee iswas subject to the performance of investments until there iswas a realization event, the amount of the provisional capital gains incentive fee accrued at a reporting date may varyhave varied from the capital gains incentive that iswas ultimately realized and the differences could behave been material.


Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments


We value investments for which market quotations are readily available at their market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or multiple broker-dealers or market makers. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes, if any, in determining fair value based on 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. However, a readily available market value is not expected to exist for many of the investments in our portfolio, and we value these portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors under our valuation policy and process. We may seek pricing information with respect to certain of our investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value such investments.


Valuation methods may include comparisons of financial ratios of the portfolio companies that issued such private equity securities to peer companies that are public, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private equity valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.


Our board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the investments in our portfolio that are not publicly traded, whose market prices are not readily available on a quarterly basis or any other situation where portfolio investments require a fair value determination.


With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board of directors will undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:


Our quarterly valuation process begins with each investment being initially valued by the valuation professionals responsible for monitoring the portfolio investment.

Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management.

Independent third-party valuation firms are also employed for all of our investments for which there is not a readily available market value. At least twice annually, including at year end, the valuation for each portfolio investment is reviewed by an independent valuation firm.

The audit committee of our board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of the valuation professionals, senior management and independent valuation firms.

Our audit committee reviews and the board of directors approves the valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of MCC Advisors, the respective independent valuation firms and the audit committee.

our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio investment being initially valued by one or more Valuation Firms;

preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with senior management;

the audit committee of the board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations with management and the Valuation Firms; and

the board of directors discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of management, the respective Valuation Firms and the audit committee.

In following these approaches, the types of factors that are taken into account in fair value pricing investments include available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables; applicable market yields and multiples; security covenants; call protection provisions; information rights; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments; the portfolio company’s earnings and discounted cash flows; the markets in which the portfolio company does business; comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public; comparable merger and acquisition transactions; and the principal market and enterprise values.


Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates made by management. The notes to our financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our consolidated financial statements.


Revenue Recognition


Our revenue recognition policies are as follows:

Investments and Related Investment IncomeWe account for investment transactions on a trade-date basis and interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is recorded on an accrual basis. For investments with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance that generally becomes due at maturity, we will not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not collectible. Origination, closing and/or commitment fees associated with investments in portfolio companies are recognized as income when the investment transaction closes. Other fees are capitalized as deferred revenue and recorded into income over the respective period. Prepayment penalties received by the Company for debt instruments paid back to the Company prior to the maturity date are recorded



as income upon receipt. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We report changes in the fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.


Non-accrualWe place loans on non-accrual status when principal and interest payments are past due by 90 days or more, or when there is reasonable doubt that we will collect principal or interest. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in our management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. At March 31, 2020,2021, certain investments in ten portfolio companies held by the Company were on non-accrual status with a combined fair value of approximately $28.2$16.7 million, or 11.0% of the fair value of our portfolio. At March 31, 2020, certain investments in two portfolio companies held by the Company were on partial non-accrual status with a combined fair value of approximately $13.3 million, or 5.2%9.9% of the fair value of our portfolio. At September 30, 2019,2020, certain investments in seveneight portfolio companies held by the Company were on non-accrual status with a combined fair value of approximately $22.3$21.7 million, or 5.6%8.8% of the fair value of our portfolio.

Federal Income Taxes


The Company has elected, and intends to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, commencing with its first taxable year as a corporation, and it intends to operate in a manner so as to maintain its RIC tax treatment. As a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements. Once qualified as a RIC, the Company must timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of the sum of investment company taxable income (“ICTI”) including PIK,, as defined by the Code, including PIK interest, and net tax exempttax-exempt interest income (which is the excess of our gross tax exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions) for each taxable year in order to be eligible for tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code. The Company will be subject to a nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax of 4% on undistributed income if it does not distribute at least 98% of its net ordinary income for any calendar year and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year and any income realized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which we did not pay federal income tax. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year dividend distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions for excise tax purposes, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. 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.


Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

As result of the termination of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, unless further action is taken by the board of directors, including by a majority of the independent directors, the Investment Management Agreement will be terminated effective as of May 31, 2020.



Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect both our cost of funding and our interest income from portfolio investments and cash and cash equivalents. Our investment income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR, to the extent our debt investments include floating interest rates. In the future, we expect other loans in our portfolio will have floating interest rates. In addition, U.S. and global capital markets and credit markets have experienced a higher level of stress due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in an increase in the level of volatility across such markets. We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. For the threesix months ended March 31, 2020,2021, we did not engage in hedging activities.


As of March 31, 2020, 82.7%2021, 59.1% of our income-bearing investment portfolio bore interest based on floating rates. The composition of our floating rate debt investments by cash interest rate LIBOR floor as of March 31, 20202021 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

PART II

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of our business. Our businesses are also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. Except as described below, we are not currently party to any material legal proceedings.


On January 25, 2019, two purported class actions were commenced in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, by alleged stockholders of Medley Capital Corporation, captioned, respectively, Helene Lax v. Brook Taube, et al., Index No. 650503/2019, and Richard Dicristino, et al. v. Brook Taube, et al., Index No. 650510/2019 (together with the Lax Action, the “New York Actions”). Named as defendants in each complaint are Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeffrey Tonkel, Arthur S. Ainsberg, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Mark Lerdal, Richard T. Allorto, Jr., Medley Capital Corporation, Medley Management Inc., Sierra Income Corporation, and Sierra Management, Inc. The complaints in each of the New York Actions alleged that the individuals named as defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed merger of MCC with and into Sierra, and that the other defendants aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. Compensatory damages in unspecified amounts were sought. On December 20, 2019, the Delaware court entered an Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement of the Delaware Action (defined below). The plaintiffs in the New York Actions acknowledged that the settlement of the Delaware Action rendered the New York Actions moot; however, the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the New York Actions sought an order awarding them fees and recovery of expenses on account of their purported contributions to the settlement of the Delaware Action.

Following a period of negotiations, the Company reached an agreement with the respective plaintiffs to resolve the New York Actions. While the Company believed that the allegations in the New York Actions were without merit, to avoid the nuisance, potential expense, burden and delay due to continued litigation, the Company agreed to pay $50,000 in attorneys’ fees and expenses to plaintiffs’ counsel in connection with the mooted claims asserted. This amount will be covered by the Company’s insurance carrier. On May 11, 2020, the court formally approved the parties’ settlement agreement and dismissed the New York Actions.

On February 11, 2019, a purported stockholder class action was commenced in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (“Delaware Court of Chancery”) by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd. (together, “FrontFour”), captioned as FrontFour Capital Group LLC, et al. v. Brook Taube et al., Case No. 2019-0100 (the “Delaware Action”) against defendants Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MDLY, Sierra, the Company, MCC Advisors, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC. The complaint, as amended on February 12, 2019, alleged that the individuals named as defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the MCC Merger, and that MDLY, Sierra, MCC Advisors, Medley Group LLC, and

Medley LLC, aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint sought to enjoin the vote of MCC stockholders on the proposed merger and enjoin enforcement of certain provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2018, by and between MCC and Sierra (the “MCC Merger Agreement”).


The Delaware Court of Chancery held a trial on the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction and issued a Memorandum Opinion (the “Decision”) on March 11, 2019. The Delaware Court of Chancery denied the plaintiffs’ requests to (i) permanently enjoin the proposed merger and (ii) require the Company, to conduct a “shopping process” for the Company on terms proposed by the plaintiffs in their complaint. The Delaware Court of Chancery held that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the proposed merger, but rejected the plaintiffs’ claim that Sierra aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duties. The Delaware Court of Chancery ordered the defendants to issue corrective disclosures consistent with the Decision, and enjoined a vote of the Company’s stockholders on the proposed merger until such disclosures had been made and stockholders had the opportunity to assimilate that information.

On March 20, 2019, another purported stockholder class action was commenced by Stephen Altman against Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Arthur S. Ainsberg, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, Mark Lerdal, and John E. Mack in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Altman v. Taube, Case No. 2019-0219 (the “Altman Action”). The complaint in the Altman Action alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders of the Company in connection with the vote of the Company’s stockholders on the proposed mergers. On April 8, 2019, the Delaware Court of Chancery granted a stipulation consolidating the Delaware Action and the Altman Action, designating the amended complaint in the Delaware Action as the operative complaint, and designating the plaintiffs in the Delaware Action and their counsel the lead plaintiffs and lead plaintiffs’ counsel, respectively.

On December 20, 2019, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered an Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement of the Delaware Action (the “Settlement”). Pursuant to the Settlement, the Company agreed to certain amendments to (i) the MCC Merger Agreement and (ii) the MDLY Merger Agreement, which amendments are reflected in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement. The Settlement also provides for, if the MCC Merger had been consummated, the creation of a settlement fund (the “Settlement Fund”), consisting of $17 million in cash and $30 million of Sierra’s common stock, with the number of shares of Sierra’s common stock to be calculated using the pro forma net asset value of $6.37 per share as of June 30, 2019, which would have been distributed to eligible members of the Settlement Class (as defined in the Settlement). In addition, in connection with the Settlement, on July 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Governance Agreement with FrontFour Capital Group LLC, FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd., FrontFour Capital Corp., FrontFour Opportunity Fund, David A. Lorber, Stephen E. Loukas and Zachary R. George, pursuant to which, among other matters, FrontFour is subject to customary standstill restrictions and required to vote in favor of the amended MCC Merger at a meeting of stockholders to approve the Amended MCC Merger Agreement. The Settlement also provides for mutual releases between and among FrontFour and the Settlement Class, on the one hand, and the Medley Parties, on the other hand, of all claims that were or could have been asserted in the Delaware Action through September 26, 2019.

The Delaware Court of Chancery also awarded attorney’s fees as follows: (i) an award of $3,000,000 to lead plaintiffs’ counsel and $75,000 to counsel to plaintiff Stephen Altman (the “Therapeutics Fee Award”) and $420,334.97 of plaintiff counsel expenses payable to the lead plaintiff’s counsel, which were paid on December 23, 2019, and (ii) an award that was contingent upon the closing of the proposed merger transactions (the “Contingent Fee Award”).



On May 1, 2020, Sierra terminated the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement. Accordingly, no Settlement Fund will be established or paid to the stockholders of the Company and no Contingent Fee Award will be paid to plaintiff’s counsel. The other terms of the Settlement, including the releases provided for in the Delaware Order and Final Judgment, remain in effect.

On January 17, 2020, the Company and Sierra filed a notice of appeal with the Delaware Supreme Court from those provisions of the Order and Final Judgment with respect to the Contingent Fee Award. In light of the termination of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, the appeal is expected to be dismissed.

The Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit on May 29, 2015, by Moshe Barkat and Modern VideoFilm Holdings, LLC (“MVF Holdings”) against the Company, MOF II, MCC Advisors LLC, Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics LLP A/K/A Deloitte ERG (“Deloitte”), Scott Avila (“Avila”), Charles Sweet, and Modern VideoFilm, Inc. (“MVF”). The lawsuit is pending in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, Central District, as Case No. BC 583437. The lawsuit was filed after the Company, as agent for the lender group, exercised remedies following a series of defaults by MVF and MVF Holdings on a secured loan with an outstanding balance at the time in excess of $65 million. The lawsuit sought damages in excess of $100 million. Deloitte and Avila have settled the claims against them in exchange for payment of $1.5 million. On June 6, 2016, the court granted the Medley defendants’ demurrers on several counts and dismissed Mr. Barkat’s claims with prejudice except with respect to his claim for intentional interference with contract. On March 18, 2018, the court granted the Medley defendants’ motion for summary adjudication with respect to Mr. Barkat’s sole remaining claim against the Medley Defendants for intentional interference. Now that the trial court has ruled in favor of the Medley defendants on all counts, the only remaining claims in the Barkat litigation are the Company and MOF II’s affirmative counterclaims against Mr. Barkat and MVF Holdings, which the Company and MOF II are diligently prosecuting.

On August 29, 2016, MVF Holdings filed another lawsuit in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, Central District, as Case No. BC 631888 (the “Derivative Action”), naming MCC Advisors LLC and certain of Medley’s employees as defendants, among others. The plaintiff in the Derivative Action, asserts claims against the defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, interference with prospective economic advantage, fraud, and declaratory relief. MCC Advisors LLC and the other defendants believe the causes of action asserted in the Derivative Action are without merit and all defendants intend to continue to assert a vigorous defense. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the trial that was set for May 19, 2020 has been continued with no new date set.

Medley LLC, Medley Capital Corporation, Medley Opportunity Fund II LP, Medley Management, Inc., Medley Group, LLC, Brook Taube, and Seth Taube were named as defendants, along with other various parties, in a putative class action lawsuit captioned as Royce Solomon, Jodi Belleci, Michael Littlejohn, and Giulianna Lomaglio v.

(as successor in interest to MacFarlane Group, Inc.), Medley Opportunity Fund II LP, Mark Curry, Brian McGowan, Vincent Ney, and John Doe entities and individuals, filed June 29, 2018 and amended July 26, 2018, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, as Case No. 2:18-cv-2747 (the “Pennsylvania Class Action”) (together.

The plaintiffs in the Class Action Complaints filed their putative class actions alleging claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, and various other claims arising out of the alleged payday lending activities of American Web Loan.

The loan was made by Medley Opportunity Fund II LP in 2011. American Web Loan repaid the loan from Medley Opportunity Fund II LP in full in February of 2015, more than 1 year and 10 months prior to any of the loans allegedly made by American Web Loan to the alleged class plaintiff representatives in Class Action 1. In Class Action 2, the alleged class plaintiff representatives had not alleged when they received any loans from American Web Loan. In Class Action 3, the alleged class plaintiff representatives claim to have received loans from American Web Loan at various times from February 2015 through April 2018. In the Pennsylvania Class Action, the alleged class plaintiff representatives claim to have received loans from American Web Loan in 2017.


By orders dated August 7, 2018 and September 17, 2018, the Court presiding over the Virginia Class Actions consolidated those cases for all purposes. On October 12, 2018, Plaintiffs in Class Action 3 filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of all claims, and on October 29, 2018, Plaintiffs in Class Action 2 filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of all claims.


On October 30, 2020, Plaintiffs in the Pennsylvania Class Action filed a Stipulation of Dismissal of all claims against all defendants with prejudice, and on November 2, 2020, the Court presiding over the Pennsylvania Class Action ordered Plaintiffs’ claims dismissed with prejudice. On January 29, 2021, Plaintiff in the West Virginia Class Action filed a motion to stay proceedings to permit revision and final approval of a revised settlement agreement in Class Action 1, and also on January 29, 2021, the Court presiding over the West Virginia Class Action granted that motion and stayed the West Virginia Class Action.

On April 16, 2020, the parties to Class Action 1 reached a settlement reflected in a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) that has been publicly filed in Class Action 1 (ECF No. 414-1). Among other things, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Settlement Agreement and upon the Effective Date, the Settlement Agreement (capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Settlement Agreement): (1) requires Plaintiffs to seek certification of a nationwide settlement class of all persons in the United States to whom American Web Loan lent money from February 10, 2010 through a future date on which the Court may enter a Preliminary Approval Order as to the Settlement Agreement (which certification Defendants have agreed not to oppose); (2) requires American Web Loan, and only American Web Loan, to pay Monetary Consideration of $65,000,000 (none of Medley Opportunity Fund II LP, Medley LLC, Medley Capital Corporation, Medley Management, Inc., Medley Group, LLC,

On or about January 28, 2021, a purported class action lawsuit, captioned Kahn v. PhenixFIN Corporation, et al., was filed against the motion remains pending.


Company and its directors in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Plaintiffs allege that a provision in the Company’s bylaws, which provides that directors may be removed from office for cause by the affirmative vote of 75% of capital stock entitled to vote, is inconsistent with provisions of the Delaware General Corporate Law, which plaintiffs allege would permit removal for cause by a simple majority of capital stock entitled to vote. The plaintiffs seek a declaration that the bylaw provision is invalid and to enjoin the defendants from enforcing it, as well as a reasonable allowance of attorneys’ fee. On February 10, 2021, the Board of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Bylaws, which, among other things, allows for the removal of directors for cause by affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the capital stock entitled to vote at an election of directors. This amendment was made without any admission of legal necessity, causation or liability with respect to the Kahn action. Defendants have not yet responded to the complaint.

Item 1A.Risk Factors


In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019,2020, filed with the SEC on December 16, 2019,11, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Other than the items disclosed below, there have been no material changes during the six months ended March 31, 20202021 to the risk factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K. Additional risks or uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.


Risks Related to our Business


We may not be able to pay you distributions and our distributions may not grow over time.


When possible, we intend to pay quarterly distributions to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. We cannot assure you that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to pay a specified level of cash distributions or year-to-year increases in cash distributions. Our ability to pay distributions might be adversely affected by, among other things, the impact of one or more of the risk factors described herein. In addition, the inability to satisfy the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC could limit our ability to pay distributions. As of March 31, 2020,2021, the Company’s asset coverage was 181.7%295.6% after giving effect to leverage and therefore the Company’s asset coverage is belowabove 200%, the minimum asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act. As a result, the Company is prohibited from making distributions to stockholders. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, our financial condition, maintenance of our RIC tax treatment, compliance with applicable BDC regulations, and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time. We cannot assure you that we will pay distributions to our stockholders in the future.


Risks Related to our Operations as a BDC and RIC


Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital.


We may only issue senior securities up to the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act permits us to issue senior securities only in amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% (or 150% if, pursuant to the 1940 Act, certain requirements are met) after such issuance or incurrence.


As of March 31, 2020,2021, the Company’s asset coverage was 181.7%295.6% after giving effect to leverage and therefore the Company’s asset coverage is belowabove 200%, the minimum asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act. As a result, the Company is prohibited from making distributions to stockholders, including the payment of any dividend, and may not employ further leverage until the Company’s asset coverage is at least 200% after giving effect to such leverage.


Risks Relating to an Investment in our Securities


The indenture under which the 2023 Notes and the 2021 Notes are issued place restrictions on our and/or our subsidiaries’ activities.


The terms of the indenture under which the 2023 Notes and the 2021 Notes (collectively, “U.S. Notes”) were issued place restrictions on our and/or our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:


things issue securities or otherwise incur additional indebtedness or other obligations, including (1) any indebtedness or other obligations that would be equal in right of payment to the U.S.2023 Notes, (2) any indebtedness or other obligations that would be secured and therefore rank effectively senior in right of payment to the U.S.2023 Notes to the extent of the values of the assets securing such debt, (3) indebtedness of ours that is guaranteed


by one or more of our subsidiaries and which therefore is structurally senior to the U.S.2023 Notes and (4) securities, indebtedness or obligations issued or incurred by our subsidiaries that would be senior to our equity interests in our subsidiaries and therefore rank structurally senior to the U.S.2023 Notes with respect to the assets of our subsidiaries, in each case other than an incurrence of indebtedness or other obligation that would cause a violation of Section 18(a)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act, or any successor provisions. These provisions generally prohibit us from making additional borrowings, including through the issuance of additional debt or the sale of additional debt securities, unless our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such borrowings. As of March 31, 2020,2021, the Company’s asset coverage was 181.7%295.6% after giving effect to leverage and therefore the Company is prohibited from making additional borrowings, including through the issuance of additional debt or the sale of additional debt securities; or

pay dividends on, or purchase or redeem or make any payments in respect of, capital stock or other securities ranking junior in right of payment to the U.S. Notes, in each case other than dividends, purchases, redemptions or payments that would cause a violation of Section 18(a)(1)(B) of the 1940 Act, as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act, or any successor provisions.leverage. These provisions generally prohibit us from declaring any cash dividend or distribution upon any class of our capital stock or purchasing any such capital stock if our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is below 200% at the time of the declaration of the dividend or distribution or the purchase and after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or purchase. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s asset coverage was 181.7% after giving effect to leverage and therefore the Company is prohibited from declaring any cash dividend or distribution upon any class of our capital stock, or purchasing any such capital stock.

Certain Risks in the Current Environment


We are currently operating in a period of capital markets disruptions and economic uncertainty. Such market conditions may materially and adversely affect debt and equity capital markets, which may have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and operations.


From time to time, capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability. For example, between 2008 and 2009, the U.S. and global capital markets were unstable as evidenced by periodic disruptions in liquidity in the debt capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial services sector, the re-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated credit market and the failure of major financial institutions. Despite actions of the U.S. federal government and foreign governments, these events contributed to worsening general economic conditions that materially and adversely impacted the broader financial and credit markets and reduced the availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole and financial services firms in particular.


The U.S. capital markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruption following the global outbreak of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) that began in December 2019. Some economists and major investment banks have expressed concern that the continued spread of the COVID-19 globally could lead to a world-wide economic downturn. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy, as well as most other major economies, may continue to experience a recession, and we anticipate our businesses would be materially and adversely affected by a prolonged recession in the U.S. and other major markets. Disruptions in the capital markets have increased the spread between the yields realized on risk-free and higher risk securities, resulting in illiquidity in parts of the capital markets. The COVID-19 outbreak is having,continues to have, and any future outbreaks could have, an adverse impact on the ability of lenders to originate loans, the volume and type of loans originated, the ability of borrowers to make payments and the volume and type of amendments and waivers granted to borrowers and remedial actions taken in the event of a borrower default, each of which could negatively impact the amount and quality of loans available for investment by the Company and returns to the Company, among other things. With respect to the U.S. credit markets (in particular for middle market loans), the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue to result in, the following among other things: (i) increased draws by borrowers on revolving lines of credit and other financing instruments; (ii) increased requests by borrowers for amendments and waivers of their credit agreements to avoid default, increased defaults by such borrowers and/or increased difficulty in obtaining refinancing at the maturity dates of their loans; (iii) greater volatility in pricing and spreads and difficulty in valuing loans during periods of increased volatility; and (iv) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general which will not necessarily adequately address the problems facing the loan market and middle-market businesses. These and future market disruptions and/or illiquidity could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. These events could limit our investment originations, limit our ability to grow and have a material negative impact on our operating results and the fair values of our debt and equity investments. We may have to access, if available, alternative markets for debt and equity capital, and a severe disruption in the global financial markets, deterioration in credit and financing conditions or uncertainty regarding U.S. government spending and deficit levels or other global economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


For example, between 2008 The Company’s performance (including that of certain of its portfolio companies) was negatively impacted during the pandemic. The longer-term impact of COVID-19 on the operations and 2009, the U.S.performance of the Company is difficult to predict, but may also be adverse. The longer-term potential impact on such operations and global capital markets were unstableperformance could depend to a large extent on future developments and actions taken by authorities and other entities to contain COVID-19 and its economic impact. The impacts, as evidenced by periodic disruptions in liquiditywell as the uncertainty over impacts to come, of COVID-19 have adversely affected the performance of the Company and may continue to do so in the debt capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial services sector, the re-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated credit market and the failure of major financial institutions.  Despite actions of the U.S. federal government and foreign governments, these events contributed to worsening general economic conditions that materially and adversely impacted the broader financial and credit markets and reduced the availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole and financial services firms in particular.  

future.

Equity capital may be difficult to raise during periods of adverse or volatile market conditions because, subject to some limited exceptions, as a BDC, we are generally not able to issue additional shares of our common stock at a price less than NAV without first obtaining approval for such issuance from our shareholders and our independent directors. Volatility and dislocation in the capital markets can also create a challenging environment in which to raise or access debt capital. The current market and future market conditions similar to those experienced from 2008 through 2009 for any substantial length of time could make it difficult to extend the maturity of or refinance our existing indebtedness or obtain new indebtedness with similar terms and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business. The debt capital that will be available to us in the future, if at all, may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions than what we currently experience, including being at a higher cost in a rising interest rate environment. If any of these conditions appear, they may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. These events could limit our investment originations, limit our ability to increase returns to equity holders through the effective use of leverage, and negatively impact our operating results.


In addition, significant changes or volatility in the capital markets may also have a negative effect on the valuations of our investments. While most of our investments are not publicly traded, applicable accounting standards require us to assume as part of our valuation process that our investments are sold in a principal market to market participants (even if we plan on holding an investment through its maturity). Significant changes in the capital markets may also affect the pace of our investment activity and the potential for liquidity events involving our investments. Thus, the illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell our investments to access capital if required, and as a result, we could realize significantly less than the



value at which we have recorded our investments if we were required to sell them for liquidity purposes. An inability to raise or access capital could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Governmental authorities worldwide have taken increased measures to stabilize the markets and support economic growth. The success of these measures is unknown and they may not be sufficient to address the market dislocations or avert severe and prolonged reductions in economic activity.


We also face an increased risk of investor, creditor or portfolio company disputes, litigation and governmental and regulatory scrutiny as a result of the effects of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions.


Events outside of our control, including public health crises, could negatively affect our portfolio companies and our results of our operations.


Periods of market volatility have occurred and could continue to occur in response to pandemics or other events outside of our control. These types of events have adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect operating results for us and for our portfolio companies. The recent outbreak ofIn December 2019, COVID-19 surfaced in manyChina and has since spread and continues to spread to other countries, including the United States,States. COVID-19 spread quickly and has been identified as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization The COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely impact global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. COVID-19 spread quickly and has been identified as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. In response, beginning in March 2020, in affected jurisdictions including the United States, unprecedented actions were and continue to be taken by governmental authorities have imposedand businesses, including quarantines, “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions on traveland bans, and the temporary closure and limited operations of many businesses (including corporate offices, retail stores, restaurants, fitness clubs, and manufacturing facilities and factories, in affected jurisdictions, including, beginning in March 2020,and other businesses). The actions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic varied by country and by state in the United States. While state and local governments across the United States have taken steps to re-open their economies by lifting “stay at home” orders and re-opening businesses, a number of states and local governments have needed to pause or slow the re-opening or impose new shut-down orders as the number of cases of COVID-19 has continued to rise. COVID-19 and the resulting economic dislocations have had and continue to have adverse consequences for the business operations and financial performance of some of our portfolio companies, which may, in turn impact the valuation of our investments and have adversely affected, and threaten to continue to adversely affect, our operations. Local, state and federal and numerous non-U.S. governmental authorities have imposed travel restrictions and bans, business closures or limited business operations and other quarantine measures on service providersbusinesses and other individuals that remain in effect on the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. COVID-19 has caused the effective cessation of all business activity deemed non-essential by such governmental authorities. We cannot predict the full impact of COVID-19, including the duration of the closures and restrictions described above. As a result, we are unable to predict the duration of these business and supply-chain disruptions, the extent to which COVID-19 will negatively affect our portfolio companies’ operating results or the impact that such disruptions may have on our results of operations and financial condition. With respect to loans to portfolio companies, the Company will be impacted if, among other things, (i) amendments and waivers are granted (or are required to be granted) to borrowers permitting deferral of loan payments or allowing for PIK interest payments, (ii) borrowers default on their loans, are unable to refinance their loans at maturity, or go out of business, or (iii) the value of loans held by the Company decreases as a result of such events and the uncertainty they cause. Portfolio companies may also be more likely to seek to draw on unfunded commitments we have made, and the risk of being unable to fund such commitments is heightened during such periods. Depending on the duration and extent of the disruption to the business operations of our portfolio companies, we expect some portfolio companies, particularly those in vulnerable industries, such as travel, to experience financial distress and possibly to default on their financial obligations to us and/or their other capital providers. In addition, if such portfolio companies are subjected to prolonged and severe financial distress, we expect some of them to substantially curtail their operations, defer capital expenditures and lay off workers. These developments would be likely to permanently impair their businesses and result in a reduction in the value of our investments in them.


The Company will also be negatively affected if the operations and effectiveness of MCC Advisors or our portfolio companies (or any of the key personnel or service providers of the foregoing) are compromised or if necessary or beneficial systems and processes are disrupted as a result of stay-at-home orders or other related interruptions to business operations.


Risks Relating to

Company performance (including the Terminationperformance of the Mergers


The terminationcertain of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement could negatively impact us.

The termination of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement may result in various consequences, including:

our business may haveits portfolio companies) has been adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the Mergers, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Mergers;

the market price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the market price prior to termination reflects a market assumption that the Mergers would be completed;

we may not be able to find a party willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price than the price Sierra had agreed to pay in the MCC Merger.

the Company may experience negative publicity and negative reactions from the financial markets and from its investors, creditors and employees;

the Company may experience negative publicity and negative reactions from the financial markets and from its investors, creditors and employees;

the Company has incurred and may continue to incurbe negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted economies and capital markets around the world in ways that will likely continue and may change in unforeseen ways for an indeterminate period. The pandemic has also adversely affected various businesses, including some in which we are invested. The COVID-19 pandemic may exacerbate pre-existing business performance, political, social and economic risks affecting certain companies and countries generally. The impacts, as well as the uncertainty over impacts to come, of COVID-19 have adversely affected the performance of the Company (including certain portfolio companies) and may continue to do so in the future.

We may be subject to risks associated with significant costs relatinginvestments in one or more economic sectors, including the construction and building sector.

At times, the Company may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting business within one or more economic sectors, including the construction and building sector. Companies in the same sector may be similarly affected by economic, regulatory, political or market events or conditions, which may make the Company more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that sector than companies that invest more broadly. Generally, the more broadly the Company invests, the more it spreads risk and potentially reduces the risks of loss and volatility.

The Company presently has significant exposure to the Mergers,construction and building sector (its investments in such sector comprise 15.0% of gross assets as of March 31, 2021), which subjects the Company to the particular risks of such sector to a greater degree than others not similarly concentrated. These risks include that the construction and building sector is cyclical and is affected by a number of factors, including the general condition of the economy, market demand and changes in interest rates. Construction activity is affected by the ability to finance projects, which may be reduced due to a widespread outbreak of contagious disease, including an epidemic or pandemic such as legal, accounting,the current COVID-19 pandemic. Residential, commercial and industrial construction could decline if companies and consumers are unable to finance construction projects or if the economy precipitously declines or stalls, which could result in delays or cancellations of capital projects. A downturn in the residential, commercial or industrial construction industries and general economic conditions may have an adverse effect on the portfolio companies in which the Company invests.


The interest rates of some of our loans to our portfolio companies may be priced using a spread over LIBOR, which is scheduled to be phased out.

On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that it would phase out LIBOR as a benchmark by the end of 2021. It is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021 and the FCA has indicated that market participants should not rely on LIBOR being available after 2021. Furthermore, on November 30, 2020, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (“ICE”) announced that the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICE and the administrator of LIBOR, will consider extending the LIBOR transition deadline to June 30, 2023. The announcement was supported by the FCA and the U.S. Federal Reserve. Despite the announcement, regulators continue to emphasize the importance of LIBOR transition planning. As an alternative to LIBOR, for example, the U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial advisor, printing,institutions, is considering replacing U.S.-dollar LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR could have adverse impacts on newly issued financial instruments and other professional services fees,our existing financial instruments which reference LIBOR. While some instruments may contemplate a scenario where LIBOR is no longer available by providing for an alternative rate setting methodology, not all instruments may have such provisions and there is significant uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of any such alternative methodologies. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR could lead to significant short-term and long-term uncertainty and market instability. If LIBOR ceases to exist, we and our portfolio companies may need to amend or restructure our existing LIBOR-based debt instruments and any related hedging arrangements that extend beyond 2021, which may relatebe difficult, costly and time consuming. In addition, from time to activitiestime we invest in floating rate loans and investment securities whose interest rates are indexed to LIBOR. Uncertainty as to the nature of alternative reference rates and as to potential changes or other reforms to LIBOR, or any changes announced with respect to such reforms, may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in the reported LIBOR rates and the value of LIBOR-based loans and securities, including those of other issuers we or our funds currently own or may in the future own. It remains uncertain how such changes would be implemented and the effects such changes would have on us, issuers of instruments in which we invest and financial markets generally.

The expected discontinuation of LIBOR could have an impact on our business. We may experience operational challenges for the transition away from LIBOR including, but not limited to, amending existing loan agreements with borrowers on investments that we wouldmay have not have undertaken other thanbeen modified with fallback language and adding effective fallback language to new agreements in connection with the Mergers; and


the Company has committed, andevent that LIBOR is discontinued before maturity. There may be requiredadditional risks to further commit, timeour current processes and resourcesinformation systems that will need to defending legal proceedings commenced against us relatedbe identified and evaluated by us. Due to the Mergers.

Weuncertainty of the replacement for LIBOR, the potential effect of any such event on our cost of capital and net investment income cannot assure our stockholdersyet be determined. In addition, the cessation of LIBOR could:

Adversely impact the pricing, liquidity, value of, return on and trading for a broad array of financial products, including any LIBOR-linked securities, loans and derivatives that are included in our assets and liabilities;

Require changes to documentation that governs or references LIBOR or LIBOR-based products, including, for example, pursuant to renegotiations of existing documentation to modify the terms of outstanding investments;

Result in inquiries or other actions from regulators in respect of our preparation and readiness for the replacement of LIBOR with one or more alternative reference rates;

Result in disputes, litigation or other actions with portfolio companies, or other counterparties, regarding the interpretation and enforceability of provisions in our LIBOR-based investments, such as fallback language or other related provisions, including, in the case of fallbacks to the alternative reference rates, any economic, legal, operational or other impact resulting from the fundamental differences between LIBOR and the various alternative reference rates;

Require the transition and/or development of appropriate systems and analytics to effectively transition our risk management processes from LIBOR-based products to those based on one or more alternative reference rates, which may prove challenging given the limited history of the proposed alternative reference rates; and

Cause us to incur additional costs in relation to any of the above factors.

There is no guarantee that the risks described abovea transition from LIBOR to an alternative will not negatively impactresult in financial market disruptions, significant increases in benchmark rates, or borrowing costs to borrowers, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, result of operations, financial results,condition, and ability to pay dividends and distributions, if any, to our stockholders, and could negatively impact our stock prices.
