The Company may make equity investments in companies that it believes will generate appropriate risk adjusted returns, although it does not expect such investments to be a substantial portion of the portfolio.

Agreements and Plan of Mergers

The description of the Mergers (as defined below) and the Settlement (as defined below) set forth below are as of March 31, 2020. Subsequent to such date, the Amended MCC Merger Agreement (as defined below) and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement (as defined below) were terminated. See “Note 15. Subsequent Developments” for more information.

On August 9, 2018, the Company entered into definitive agreements to acquire Medley Capital Corporation (NYSE/TASE: MCC, MCC) and Medley Management Inc. (NYSE: MDLY, "MDLY"). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2018, by and between MCC and the Company (the "MCC Merger Agreement"), MCC would, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the MCC Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the merger (the "MCC Merger"). In the MCC Merger, each share of MCC’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MCC Merger effective time (other than shares of MCC’s common stock held by MCC, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) would be converted into the right to receive 0.8050 shares of the Company’s common stock; provided that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock issuable in the MCC Merger.

Simultaneously, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "MDLY Merger Agreement"), dated as of August 9, 2018, by and among MDLY, the Company, and Sierra Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), MDLY

would, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with 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 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, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) would be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.3836 shares of our common stock; provided that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock issuable in the MDLY Merger; 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 amended and restated definitive agreements with MCC and MDLY. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MCC Merger Agreement”), by and between MCC and the Company, MCC will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the MCC Merger. In the MCC Merger, each share of MCC’s common stock, other than shares of MCC’s common stock held by MCC, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, will be exchanged for the right to receive (i) 0.68 shares of the Company’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 the Company’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 the Company’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 the Company’s common stock in the event that the Plaintiff’s Attorney Fees are not fully and finally determined prior to the closing of the MCC Merger (such ratio, the “MCC Merger Exchange Ratio”); provided that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock issuable in the MCC Merger. 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 the Company’s common stock. MCC and the Company are appealing the Delaware Order and Final Judgment with respect to the Delaware Court of Chancery’s ruling on the Plaintiff Attorney Fees. Under the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, the MCC Merger exchange ratio is not subject to adjustment based on changes in the NAV of the Company or the market price of MCC’s common stock before the MCC Merger effective time. In addition, under the Settlement, the defendant parties to the Settlement (other than MDLY) shall, among other things, deposit or cause to be deposited the Settlement Shares, the number of shares of which is to be calculated using the pro forma NAV of $6.37 per share as of June 30, 2019, and is not subject to subsequent adjustment based on changes in the NAV of the Company or the market price of MCC’s common stock before the MCC Merger effective time, provided that the MCC Merger is consummated by March 31, 2020, or, if consummated after March 31, 2020, only if the parties subsequently agree to extend the closing date on the same terms and conditions.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MDLY Merger Agreement”), by and among MDLY, the Company, and Merger Sub, 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, the Company 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 (as defined below)), will be exchanged for (i) 0.2668 shares of the Company’s common stock; provided that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’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 holders of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Medley LLC (the “Medley LLC Units” and, holders of the Medley LLC Units at any time on or after July 29, 2019, the “Medley LLC Unitholders”) will be exchanged for (i) 0.2072 shares of the Company’s common stock; provided that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.66 per share. Under the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, the MDLY exchange ratios and the cash consideration amount was fixed on July 29, 2019, the date of the signing of the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement. The MDLY exchange ratios and the cash consideration amount are not subject to adjustment based on changes in the net asset value of Sierra or the market price of MDLY Class A common stock before the MDLY Merger effective time, provided that the MDLY Merger is consummated by March 31, 2020, or, if consummated after March 31, 2020, only if the parties subsequently agree to extend the closing date on the same terms and conditions.


Pursuant to the 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 the Mergers are, or only the MDLY Merger is, consummated the Company’s common stock will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SRA”, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers or only the MDLY Merger, as applicable. If the MCC Merger is also consummated, the Company’s common stock will be listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers. If both Mergers are consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would be combined, Merger Sub, as a successor to MDLY, would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (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, while the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would not be combined, the investment management function relating to the operation of the Company, as the surviving company, would still be internalized (the “Sierra/MDLY Company”) and the Sierra/MDLY Company would be managed by MCC Advisors LLC.

The Mergers are subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company, MCC, 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 MCC 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. The Company and MDLY have the right to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including (subject to certain limitations set forth in the Amended MDLY 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 MDLY 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 MDLY Merger Agreement; (iii) the MDLY Merger has not closed on or prior to March 31, 2020; or (iv) either party has failed to obtain stockholder approval or the Amended MCC Merger Agreement has been terminated.

Set forth below is a description of the Decision (as defined below), which should be read in the context of the impact of the Delaware Order and Final Judgment and corresponding Settlement.

On February 11, 2019, a purported stockholder class action relating to the MCC Merger was commenced in the Delaware Court of Chancery by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd. (together, “FrontFour”), captioned 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, the Company, MCC, MCC Advisors LLC, 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 MCC’s stockholders in connection with the MCC Merger, and that MDLY, the Company, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint sought to enjoin the vote of MCC’s stockholders on the MCC Merger and enjoin enforcement of certain provisions of 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 MCC Merger and (ii) require MCC to conduct a “shopping process” for MCC on terms proposed by the plaintiffs in their complaint. The Delaware Court of Chancery held that MCC’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the MCC Merger, but rejected the plaintiffs’ claim that the Company 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 MCC’s stockholders on the MCC 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 MCC in connection with the vote of MCC’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, MCC 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 the Company’s common stock, with the number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be calculated using the pro forma NAV 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, MCC 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 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 $420,335 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 by the Company’s board of directors to appoint one independent director of MCC who will be selected by the independent directors of the Company on the board of directors of the post-merger company upon the closing of the Mergers; 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]
Whereas
Ashall be the amount of the Additional Fee (excluding the $100,000 award for the agreement by the Company’s board of directors to appoint one independent director of MCC who will be selected by the independent directors of the Company on the board of directors of the post-merger company upon the closing of the Mergers);

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 NAV 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, MCC 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, MCC or its successor shall use the formula set above, except that VPS shall equal the pro forma NAV 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 MCC or its successor, (ii) if the Additional Fee is less than the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, plaintiffs’ counsel shall return to MCC or its successor the difference between the Additional Fee Estimate and the Additional Fee and the Escrowed Fee shall be released to MCC or its successor, or (iii) if the Additional Fee is equal to the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, the Escrowed Fee shall be released to MCC or its successor.

On January 17, 2020, MCC and the Company 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 follows the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 - Financial Services, Investment Companies ("ASC 946"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alpine, Arbor, and the Taxable Subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All references made to the "Company," "we," and "us" herein include Sierra Income 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. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial results contain all adjustments and reclassifications, which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the periods presented. Therefore, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2019, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")SEC on March 7, 2017.20, 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 December 31, 2017.2020.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments or investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents include deposits in money market mutual funds. The Company deposits its cash in major United StatesU.S. financial institutions which, at times, may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

Offering Costs
Offering costs incurred directly by the Company are expensed in the period incurred.

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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Deferred Financing Costs
Financing costs, incurred in connection with the Company’s credit facilities (see Note 6), are deferred and amortized over the life of each corresponding facility.


Deferred Transaction Costs
Transaction costs, incurred in connection with the Mergers by and among the Company, MCC, MDLY and Merger Sub (see Note 1), are deferred until the closing or termination of the Mergers. On May 1, 2020, the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement were terminated. See “Note 15. Subsequent Developments” for more information.

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 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. The Company records amortized or accreted discounts or premiums as interest income using the effective interest method. Dividend income, which represents dividends from equity investments and distributions from subsidiaries, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amount.

Fee income associated with investments in portfolio companies is recognized as income in the period that the Company becomes entitled to such fees. Other fees related to loan administration requirements 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.

The Company holds debt investments 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 an 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company earned $1,574,504 and $4,432,952 in PIK interest respectively. For the threeof $651,808 and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company earned $236,353 and $3,722,884 in PIK interest,$1,091,158, respectively.

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. DuringFor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020 the Company did not recognized any realized gains or losses on investments related to non-cash restructuring transactions. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $5,469,025 and $16,230,521 in realized losses respectively,on investments of $5,388,280, related to certain non-cash restructuring transactions, which isare recorded on the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operationsOperations as a component of net realized gain/(loss) from non-controlled/non-affiliated investments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized $11,844,083 in realized losses, respectively, related to certain non-cash restructuring transactions, which is recorded on the consolidated statements of operations as a component ofinvestments and/or net realized gain/(loss) from non-controlled/non-affiliated investments..controlled/affiliated investments. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operations.Operations. For total return swap transactions (see Note 5), periodic payments are received or made at the

end of each settlement period, but prior to settlement are recorded as realized gains or losses on total return swap in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operations.Operations.

Management reviews all loans that become 90 days or more past due on principal and 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. Accrued interest is generally reserved when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. 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 loansLoans on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current, although the Company may make exceptions to this general rule if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of September 30, 2017, sevenMarch 31, 2020, certain investments in sixteen portfolio companies were on non-accrual status with a combined cost of $52,120,295$140,738,101, or 17.3% of the cost of the Company's portfolio, and a combined fair value of $30,770,262,$32,030,369, or 2.88%5.6% of the fair value of the Company's portfolio. As of March 31, 2020, certain investments in two portfolio companies were on partial non-accrual status with a combined cost of $18,617,271, or 2.3% of the cost of the Company's portfolio, and a combined fair value of $17,420,745, or 3.1% of the fair value of the Company's portfolio. As of December 31, 2016, seven2019, ten portfolio companies were on non-accrual status with a combined cost of $57,135,673$92,443,091, or 11.6% of the cost of the Company's portfolio, and a combined fair value of $35,022,807,$17,447,291, or 3.56%2.6% of the fair value of the Company's portfolio.


Interest income from investments in the “equity” class of a collateralized loan obligation ("CLO") security (typically subordinated notes) is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. The Company monitors the expected cash flows from these investments, including the expected residual payments, and the effective yield is determined and updated periodically. Any difference between the cash distribution received and the amount calculated pursuant to the effective interest method is recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of such investments.

Investment Classification
The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company would be deemed to “control” a portfolio company if it owns 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. The Company refers to such investments in portfolio companies that it “controls” as “Controlled Investments.” Under the 1940 Act, the Company would be deemed to be an “Affiliated Person” of a portfolio company if it owns at least 5%, but no more than 25%, of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities or if it is under common control with such portfolio company. The Company refers 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. The Company weighs the use of third-party broker quotations, if any, in determining fair value based on management's 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 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 companies are valued at fair value. Fair values are generally determined utilizing the net asset value ("NAV") supplied by, or on behalf of, management of each investment company, which is net of management and incentive fees or allocations charged by the investment company and is in accordance with the "practical expedient", as defined by ASC 820. NAVs received by, or on behalf of, management of each investment company are based on the fair value of the investment company's underlying investments in accordance with policies established by management of each investment company, as described in each of their financial statements and offering memorandum.

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 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 uses third-party valuation firms to assist the board of directors in the valuation of its portfolio investments. The valuation reports generated by the third-party valuation firms consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market based information, including comparable transactions, performance multiples, and movement in yields of debt instruments, among other factors. Based on market data obtained from the third-party valuation firms, the Company

uses a combined market yield analysis and an enterprise model of valuation. 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, the Company weighs 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. The methodologies for performing investments may be based on, among other things: valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, third party valuations of the portfolio company, considering offers from third parties to buy the company, estimating the value to potential strategic buyers and considering the value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. For non-performing investments, the Company may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets and liabilities using an expected recovery model. The Company may estimate the fair value of warrants based on a model such as the Black-Scholes model or simulation models or a combination thereof.

The methodologies and information that the Company utilizes when applying the Market Approach for performing investments includes, 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 (“Acquisition Price Approach”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
estimating the value to potential buyers.

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

discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company or securities (“Discounted Cash Flow” or “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, the Company may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets and liabilities using an expected recovery model. The Company may estimate the fair value of warrants based on a model such as the Black-Scholes model or simulation models or a combination thereof.

Over-the-counter derivative contracts, such as total return swaps (see Note 5), are fair valued using models that measure the change in fair value of reference assets underlying the swaps offset against any fees payable to the swap counterparty. The fair values of the reference assets underlying the swaps are determined using similar methods as described above for debt and equity investments where the Company also invests directly in such assets.

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

the quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio investment being initially valued by the Company's valuation professionals;
preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management; and
an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company’s board of directors prepares an independent valuation report for approximately one-third of the portfolio investments each quarter on a rotating quarterly basis on non-

fiscalnon-fiscal year-end quarters, such that each of these investments will be valued by an independent valuation firm 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 the Company’s investments are subject to the following valuation process:
management reviews preliminary valuations and its own independent assessment;
the independent audit committee of the Company’s board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of senior management and independent valuation firms; and
the Company’s board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of SIC Advisors, the respective independent valuation firms and the audit committee.

The Company’s investments in subordinated notes are carried at fair value, which is based on a discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model models both the underlying collateral (assets) and the liabilities of the CLO capital structure. The

discounted cash flow model uses a set of assumptions including projected default rates, recovery rates, reinvestment rates and prepayment rates in order to arrive at estimated cash flows of the assets. The discounted cash flow model distributes the asset cash flows to the liability structure based on the payment priorities and discounts them back using appropriate market discount rates based on discount rates for comparable CLOs. The assumptions are based on available market data as well as management estimates. Additional data is used to validate the results from the discounted cash flow method, such as analysis of relevant data observed in the CLO market, review of quotes, where available, recent acquisitions and observable transactions in the subordinated notes, among other factors.

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 Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s long-term obligations are discussed in Note 4.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes
The Company has elected, and intends to qualify annually, to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.Code. In order to continue to qualify as a RIC, 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 its investment company taxable income ("ICTI") including PIK, as defined by the Code, and net tax-exempt interest income (which is the excess of the Company’s 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. 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 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 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. To the extent the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions for U.S. federal excise tax purposes, the Company accrues U.S. federal excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company distributed at least 98% of its ordinary income and 98.2% of its capital gains, and as such, there was no excise tax accrual or expense recorded.

The 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 September 30, 2017 andMarch 31, 2020, the Company did not record a deferred tax liability. As of December 31, 2016,2019, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $429,991 and $244,622, respectively,$240,935 on the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of assetsAssets and liabilities.Liabilities. The change in deferred tax liabilities is included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on investments on the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operations.Operations.

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 ("OID"), the Company must include in ICTI each year a portion of the original issue discountOID 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 PIK interest income and 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.income. Because any original issue discountOID 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.

Although the Company files federal and state tax returns, the Company's major tax jurisdiction is the United States federal jurisdiction. The Company’s federal and state tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.


The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”).

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 consolidated financial statements (See Note 3).

Company Investment Risk, Concentration of Credit Risk, and Liquidity Risk
SIC Advisors has broad discretion in making investments for the Company. Investments 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 fluctuates.

The value of the Company’s investments in loans and bonds 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 the Company’s borrowers, and those for which market yields are observable, increase materially.

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.

In March 2016,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. After evaluating ASU 2018-13, the Company found

no material changes to its fair value disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements were necessary to comply with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarified the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. pronouncement.

In April 2016,March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligationsprovides optional exceptions for applying

met. ASU 2020-04 is elective and licensing arrangements. The new standard will becomeis effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, with early application permitted to the effective date of January 1, 2017.March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the effectexpects that the above referencedadoption
of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. The guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and notes that are accounted for under other U.S. GAAP. As a result, the Company does not expect the new revenue recognition guidance to have a material impact on the elements of its consolidated statements of operations, most closely associated with financial instruments, including realized gains, fees, interest and dividend income. The Company plans to adopt the revenue recognition guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The Company’s implementation efforts include the identification of revenue within the scope of the guidance, as well as the evaluation of revenue contracts and related accounting policies. While the Company has not yet identified any material changes in the timing of revenue recognition, the Company's review is ongoing, and it continues to evaluate the presentation of certain contract costs.statements.

In accordance with Rules 3-09 and 4-08(g) 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 an annual report if any of the three tests exceed 20%. Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X requires summarized financial information of Control Investments in an annual report if any of the three tests exceeds 10%, and summarized financial information in a quarterly report if any of the three tests exceeds 20% pursuant to Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X.

As of March 31, 2020, excluding Sierra JV, the Company had no single Control Investment which would be deemed to be a significant subsidiary pursuant to Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X.

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. The three levels are defined as follows. Investments which are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from this hierarchy:

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 is 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 Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("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 employs the valuation policy approved by the board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820 (see Note 2). Consistent with the Company’s valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company’s investments are trading, in determining fair value.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of the Company’s total investments, by major class according to the fair value hierarchy, as of September 30, 2017:

 ________________________________
(1)Represents the method used when the Company has determined that market participants would use such inputs when measuring the fair value of these investments.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’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 warrants/equityequity/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 higher fair value measurement.

Note 5. Total Return Swap
On August 27, 2013, the Company, through its wholly-owned financing subsidiary, Arbor, entered into a TRS with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”) that is indexed to a basket of loans.

The TRS with Citibank enablesenabled Arbor to obtain the economic benefit of the loans underlying the TRS, despite the fact that such loans willwere not be directly held or otherwise owned by Arbor, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank.

SIC Advisors actsacted as the investment manager of Arbor and hashad discretion over the composition of the basket of loans underlying the TRS. The terms of the TRS arewere governed by an ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, the Schedule thereto and Credit Support Annex to such Schedule, and the Confirmation exchanged thereunder, between Arbor and Citibank, which collectively establishestablished the TRS, and are collectively referred to herein as the “TRS Agreement”. On March 21, 2014, Arbor amended and restated its Confirmation Letter Agreement (the “Amended Confirmation Agreement”) with Citibank. The Amended Confirmation Agreement increased the maximum market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of the portfolio of loans that Arbor may select from $100 million to $200 million, and increased the interest rate payable to Citibank from LIBOR plus 1.30% per annum to LIBOR plus 1.35% per annum. On July 23, 2014, Arbor entered into the Second Amended and Restated Confirmation Letter Agreement with CitiBankCitibank to increase the maximum market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of the portfolio of loans that Arbor may select from $200 million to $350 million. On June 8, 2015, Arbor entered into the Third Amended and Restated Confirmation Letter Agreement with CitiBankCitibank to decrease the maximum market value (determined at the

time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of the portfolio of loans that Arbor may select from $350 million to $300 million. On March 21, 2016, Arbor entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Confirmation Letter Agreement (the “Fourth Amended Confirmation Agreement”) with Citibank to extendedextend the term of the TRS from March 21, 2016 through March 21, 2019 and increasedincrease the interest rate payable to CitiCitibank from LIBOR plus 1.35% per annum to LIBOR plus 1.65% per annum. On September 29, 2017, Arbor entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Confirmation Letter Agreement (the “Fifth Amended Confirmation Agreement”) with Citibank to reduce the maximum portfolio notional (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) from $300,000,000 to $180,000,000, through incremental reductions of $60,000,000 on October 3, 2017 and $20,000,000 on each of November 3, 2017, December 3, 2017 and January 3, 2018. The Fifth Amended Confirmation Agreement also decreased the interest rate payable to Citibank from LIBOR plus 1.65% per annum to LIBOR plus 1.60% per annum. On July 22, 2019, the TRS with Citibank was terminated, and the TRS was fully wound down during the fiscal quarter ended September 30. 2019.

Pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement, as amended and subject to conditions customary for transactions of this nature, Arbor maycould select a portfolio of loans with a maximum market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of $300$180 million, subject to the reduction provided for in the Fifth Amended Confirmation Agreement, which is also referred to as the maximum notional amount of the TRS. Arbor receivesreceived from Citibank a periodic payment on set dates that is based upon any coupons, both earned and accrued, generated by the loans underlying the TRS, subject to limitations described in the TRS Agreement as well as any fees associated with the loans included in the portfolio. Arbor payspaid to Citibank interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.60% per annum. In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, Arbor either receivesreceived from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such loan, or payspaid to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan.
Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS. SIC Advisors may terminate the TRS on behalf of Arbor at any time upon providing 10 days prior notice to Citibank.
Arbor iswas required to pay a minimum usage fee in connection with the TRS of 1.60% on the amount equal to 85% of the average daily unused portion of the maximum amount permitted under the TRS. Such minimum usage fee willdid not apply during the first 365 days and last 60 days of the term of the TRS. Arbor will also paypaid Citibank customary fees in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the TRS. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020 and 2019, Arbor paid $12,823 and $67,961 in minimum usage fees, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, Arbor paid $193,194 and $534,170, respectively, inno minimum usage fees.

Arbor iswas required to initially cash collateralize a specified percentage of each loan (generally 20% to 30% of the market value of such loan) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the TRS Agreement. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Arbor haswas restricted from removing the cash collateral posted $68,000,000 and $79,620,942, respectively, in collateral to Citibank in relation to the TRS which is recorded on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as cash collateral on total return swap. Arbor may bewas required to post additional collateral from time to time as a result of a decline in the mark-to-market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. The obligations of Arbor under the TRS Agreement arewere non-recourse to the Company and the Company’s exposure under the TRS Agreement iswas limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Arbor, which generally equalsequaled the value of cash collateral provided by Arbor under the TRS Agreement.

In connection with the TRS, Arbor has made customary representations and warranties and iswas required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. In addition to customary events of default and termination events included in the form ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, the TRS Agreement containscontained the following termination events: (a) a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria for at least 30 days; (b) a failure to post initial cash collateral or additional collateral as required by the TRS Agreement; (c) a default by Arbor or the Company with respect to indebtedness in an amount equal to or greater than the lesser of $10,000,000 and 2% of the Company’s NAV at such time; (d) a merger of Arbor or the Company meeting certain criteria; (e) the Company or Arbor amending their respective constituent documents to alter their investment strategy in a manner that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; and (f) SIC Advisors ceasing to be

the investment manager of Arbor or to have authority to enter into transactions under the TRS Agreement on behalf of Arbor, and not being replaced by an entity reasonably acceptable to Citibank. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the Company did not have any derivatives with contingent features in net liability positions; therefore, if a trigger event had occurred, no amount would have been required to be posted by the Company.
The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is $69,003,667 and $80,910,105, respectively, which is recorded on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as cash collateral on total return swap and receivable due on total return swap.
The Company’s receivable from Citibank represents realized amounts from payments on underlying loans in the TRS portfolio that as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $1,003,667 and $1,289,163, respectively, which is recorded on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as receivable due on total return swap.

As a BDC, the Company is onlygenerally allowed to employ leverage to the extent that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% (or 150% if certain requirements under the 1940 Act are met) after giving effect to such leverage. The amount of leverage that the Company employs at any time depends on its assessment of the market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.

The fair value of the Company’s debt obligation is 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 Company’s margin borrowings are estimated based upon market interest rates for its own borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. The Company’s debt obligation is recorded at its carrying value, which approximates fair value.

The Investment Advisory Agreement became effective as of April 17, 2012, the date that the Company met its minimum offering requirement. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the initial term of the Investment Advisory Agreement was for two years from its effective date, with one-year renewals subjectdate. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to approvalits terms, the Investment Advisory Agreement will remain in effect from year-to-year thereafter if approved annually at an in-person meeting of our board of directors by a majority of our directors who are not "interested persons" (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Company or the Adviser, and either our board of directors or the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities. Most recently, on April 3, 2020, the Company’s board of directors, a majority of whom must be independent directors. On March 1, 2017, the Company’s board of directorsat an in-person meeting, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term, at an in-person meeting.which will expire on April 17, 2021. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, SIC Advisors implements the Company’s business strategy on a day-to-day basis and performs certain services for the Company, subject to oversight by the Company’s board of directors. SIC Advisors is responsible for, among other duties, determining investment criteria, sourcing, analyzing and executing investment transactions, asset sales, financings and performing asset management duties. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay SIC Advisors a management fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of a base management fee and an incentive fee.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company’s gross assets payable quarterly in arrears. For purposes of calculating the base management fee, the term “gross assets” includes any assets acquired with the proceeds of leverage. "Gross assets"“Gross assets” also includes any cash collateral posted with respect to the TRS, adjusted for realized and unrealized appreciation. TheFor the first quarter of the Company’s operations, the base management fee was calculated based on the initial value of the Company’s gross assets. Subsequently, the base management fee is calculated based on the gross assets at the end of each completed calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial quarter are appropriately prorated.pro-rated. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an expense for base management fees of $5,378,233$3,251,451 and $16,036,068, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded an expense for base management fees of $5,040,490 and $14,790,696,$4,442,090, respectively. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the Company recorded a base management fee payable of $5,378,233$3,251,451 and $5,138,107,$4,060,518, respectively.

The incentive fee consists of the following two parts:

An incentive fee on net investment income (“Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income”) is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and is based upon pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding quarter. No Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income is payable in any calendar quarter in which pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed a quarterly return to stockholders of 1.75% per quarter on the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter (the “Preferred Quarterly Return”). All pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the Preferred Quarterly Return, but is less than or equal to 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter in any quarter, will be payable to SIC Advisors. The Company refers to this portion of its Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income as the “Catch Up”. It is intended to provide an

incentive fee of 20% on pre-incentive fee net investment income when pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter in any quarter. For any quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income shall equal 20% of the amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income, because the Preferred Quarterly Return and Catch Up will have been achieved. There is no incentive fee on net investment income earned on the TRS.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a Subordinated Incentive Fee on Incomeno incentive fees. As of $1,323,999March 31, 2020 and $1,872,805, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income of $2,372,355 and $7,876,060, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company recordedno incentive fees payable of $1,323,999 and $1,405,419, respectively.payable.

A capital gains incentive fee will be earned on realized investments and shall be payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year during which the Investment Advisory Agreement is in effect. If the Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated, the fee will also become payable as of the effective date of such termination. The fee equals 20% of the realized capital gains, less the aggregate

amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. The incentive fee on capital gains is equal to realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis.

Under GAAP, the Company calculates capital gains incentive fees as if the Company had realized all assets at their fair values and liabilities at their settlement amounts as of the reporting date. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual assume the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation is realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Accordingly, the Company accrues a provisional capital gains incentive fee taking into account any unrealized gains or losses. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future and that the provisional capital gains incentive fee will become payable.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016,2019, the Company recorded no capital gains incentive fee. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the Company recorded no capital gains incentive fee payable.
In the event that other organizational and offering expenses exceed 5.25% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to its public offering or one or more private offerings at the time of the completion of the offering or other organizational and offering expenses, together with selling commissions, dealer manager fees and any discounts paid to members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to its public offering or one or more private offerings at the time of the completion of the offering, then SIC Advisors shall be required to pay without reimbursement from the Company, or, if already paid by the Company, reimburse the Company, for amounts exceeding such 5.25% and 15% limit, as appropriate.

Administration Agreement
On April 5, 2012, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with Medley Capital LLC, pursuant to which Medley Capital LLC furnishes the Company with administrative services necessary to conduct its day-to-day operations.

During the term of the Expense Support Agreement, SIC Advisors reimbursed the Company for operating expenses in an amount equal to the difference between the Company’s distributions paid to its stockholders in each month, less the sum of the Company’s net investment income, net realized capital gains and dividends paid to the Company from its portfolio companies, not included in net income and net realized capital gains, during such period (“Expense Support Reimbursement”). To the extent that no dividends or other distributions were paid to the Company’s stockholders in any given month, then the Expense Support Reimbursement for such month was equal to such amount necessary in order for available operating funds for the month to equal zero. From April 1, 2016 until the expiration of the Expense Support Agreement on December 31, 2016, SIC Advisors made expense support payments on a discretionary basis by making an election on the last day of each month to fund an

expense support payment in an amount equal to the difference between the Company’s distributions paid to stockholders during such month less the sum of the Company’s net investment income, net realized capital gains and dividends paid to the Company from its portfolio companies, not included in net income and net realized capital gains during such period.
The purpose of the Expense Support Agreement was to cover distributions to stockholders so as to ensure that the distributions did not constitute a return of capital for GAAP purposes and to reduce operating expenses until the Company had raised sufficient capital to be able to absorb such expenses. The Expense Support Agreement expired on December 31, 2016.
Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Company will reimbursereimbursed SIC Advisors for expense support payments it previously made following any calendar quarter for which the Company received net investment income, net realized capital gains and dividends from its portfolio companies (not included in net income and net realized capital gains) in excess of the distributions paid to the Company’s stockholders during such calendar quarter (the “Excess Operating Funds”). Any such reimbursement will bewas made within three years of the date that the expense support payment obligation was incurred by SIC Advisors, subject to the conditions described below. As of December 31, 2019, there were no amounts eligible for reimbursement to SIC Advisors by the Company. The amount of the reimbursement during any calendar quarter willwas equal the lesser of (i) the Excess Operating Funds received during the quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all expense payments made by SIC Advisors that have not yet been reimbursed. In addition, the

Company will only makemade reimbursement payments to the extent its current annualized “operating expense ratio” (as described in footnote 1 to the table below) iswas equal to or less than its operating expense ratio for the quarter during which the corresponding expense obligation was incurred and to the extent the annualized rate of its regular cash dividends to the Company’s stockholders for the month iswas equal to or greater than the annualized rate of the Company’s regular cash distributions to stockholders for the month during which the corresponding expense payment was incurred.

Subsequent to such date, the Amended MCC Merger Agreement (as defined below) and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement (as defined below) were terminated. See “Note 15. Subsequent Developments” for more information.

The Exemptive Order will remainCompany’s common stock issuable in effect unless and until the New Exemptive Order is grantedMCC Merger. Based upon the Plaintiff Attorney Fees approved by the SEC.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 the Company’s common stock. MCC and the Company are appealing the Delaware Order and Final Judgment with respect to the Delaware Court of Chancery’s ruling on the Plaintiff Attorney Fees. Under the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, the MCC Merger exchange ratio is not subject to adjustment based on changes in the NAV of the Company or the market price of MCC’s common stock before the MCC Merger effective time. In addition, under the Settlement, the defendant parties to the Settlement (other than MDLY) shall, among other things, deposit or cause to be deposited the Settlement Shares, the number of shares of which is to be calculated using the pro forma NAV of $6.37 per share as of June 30, 2019, and is not subject to subsequent adjustment based on changes in the NAV of the Company or the market price of MCC’s common stock before the MCC Merger effective time, provided that the MCC Merger is consummated by March 31, 2020, or, if consummated after March 31, 2020, only if the parties subsequently agree to extend the closing date on the same terms and conditions. Pursuant to the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, 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, the Company 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 (as defined below)), will be exchanged for (i) 0.2668 shares of the Company’s common stock; provided that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’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 holders of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Medley LLC (the “Medley LLC Units” and, holders of the Medley LLC Units at any time on or after July 29, 2019, the “Medley LLC Unitholders”) will be exchanged for (i) 0.2072 shares of the Company’s common stock; provided that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.66 per share. Under the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, the MDLY exchange ratios and the cash consideration amount was fixed on July 29, 2019, the date of the signing of the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement. The MDLY exchange ratios and the cash consideration amount are not subject to adjustment based on changes in the net asset value of the Company or the market price of MDLY Class A common stock before the MDLY Merger effective time, provided that the MDLY Merger is consummated by March 31, 2020, or, if consummated after March 31, 2020, only if the parties subsequently agree to extend the closing date on the same terms and conditions.

Pursuant to the 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 the Mergers are, or only the MDLY Merger is, consummated the Company’s common stock will be listed on the New Exemptive Order, if received,York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SRA”, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers or only the MDLY Merger, as applicable. If the MCC Merger is also consummated, the Company’s common stock will be listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers. If both Mergers are consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would be substantially similarcombined, Merger Sub, as a successor to MDLY, would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Combined Company”),

and the Combined Company would be internally managed by MCC Advisors LLC, its wholly controlled adviser subsidiary.

Note 13. Distributions and Share Repurchase Program Distributions
Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Company’s board of directors.

The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) pursuant to which the Company’s common stockholders may elect to have the full amount of any cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. On June 30, 2017, the Board approved an amendment to the DRIP, pursuant to which the number of newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued to a participating stockholder shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by a price equal to 94.5%, rather than 90%, of the Company’s then current offering price. The Company amended the DRIP as a result of the Company’s recently revised fee structure, which went into effect on June 16, 2017. Under the Company’s newrevised fee structure the upfront selling commission was reduced from 7.00% of gross proceeds to up to 3.00% of gross proceeds and the dealer manager fee was reduced from 2.75% of gross proceeds to up to 2.50% of gross proceeds. As a result, ifIf the Company declares a cash dividend or other distribution, each stockholder that has “opted in” to the Company’s reinvestment planDRIP will have their distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock rather than receiving cash distributions. 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. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Company distributed a total of $46,082,836,10,691,828, of which $25,118,175$6,848,697 was in cash and $20,964,661$3,843,131 was in the form of common stock associated with the DRIP. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2019, the Company distributed a total of $53,464,883,$15,814,922, of which $28,108,664,$9,626,848, was in cash and $25,356,219$6,188,074 was in the form of common stock associated with the DRIP.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company has declared or paid to its stockholders for the currentduring 2020 and prior fiscal years.2019. Stockholders of record as of each respective record date were entitled to receive the distribution.

The Company’s distributions may be funded from offering proceeds or borrowings, which may constitute a return of capital and reduce the amount of capital available to the Company for investment. Any capital returned to stockholders through distributions will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses. Our board of directors temporarily suspended the monthly distributions on the shares of the Company’s common stock. See “Recent Developments” for more information.


The Company’s previous distributions to stockholders may have been funded from temporary Expense Support Reimbursements that may behave been subject to repayment to SIC Advisors.Advisors, pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, which expired on December 31, 2016. The portion of these distributions derived from temporary Expense Support Reimbursements were not based on the Company's investment performance and may not continue in the future. If SIC Advisors had not agreed to make Expense Support Reimbursements, these distributions would have come from paid-in-capital. The repayments of eligible reimbursements owed to SIC Advisors will reduce the future distributions to which stockholders would otherwise be entitled. The Expense Support Agreement expired on December 31, 2016. The Company's contingent obligation to repay eligible reimbursements to SIC Advisors will expireexpired on September 30, 2019. See Note 7 for more information.

The determination of the tax attributes (i.e., paid from ordinary income, paid from net capital gains on the sale of securities, and/or a return of paid-in-capital surplus which is a nontaxable distribution) of distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year based upon its taxable income earned and distributions paid during the fiscal year.

Share Repurchase Program
In June 2013, the Company commenced a share repurchase program pursuant to which it intends to conductconducted quarterly share repurchases of up to 2.5% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares of its common stock in the prior four calendar quarters or 10% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares in the prior 12-month period. In connection with the Mergers, the Company suspended the Share Repurchase Program. The purpose of the share repurchase program iswas to allow stockholders to sell their shares back to the Company at a price equal to the most recently disclosed NAV per share of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the date of repurchase. Shares will bewere purchased from stockholders participating in the program on a pro ratapro-rata basis. Unless the Company's board of directors determinesdetermined otherwise, the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year will bewere limited to the proceeds received in association with the sale of shares of common stock under the distribution reinvestment plan.

The following table reflects activity under the Company’s Share Repurchase Program:

Note 15. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included herein. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this Form 10-Q or would be required to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, except as disclosed below.
On October 4, 2017, the Company, SIC Advisors and certain of our affiliates received an exemptive order that supersedes the Exemptive Order (the “New 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. The terms of the New Exemptive Order are substantially similar to the Exemptive Order.
On October 10, 2017,April 28, 2020, our board of directors declaredtemporarily suspended the monthly distributions on the shares of the Company’s common stock to enhance financial flexibility. Shareholder distributions, including both cash and through the distribution reinvestment plan, will be suspended beginning with the month ending April 30, 2020. The Company expects to evaluate resumption of monthly

distributions at a series of semi-monthly distributions for October, November and December 2017future date. The Company believes that it is in the amountbest long-term interests of $0.02667 per share. These distributions represent an annualized yieldits shareholders to maintain a conservative approach to its distribution policy during this volatile economic environment.

Section 9.1(c) of 7.49% basedthe Amended MCC Merger Agreement and Section 9.1(c) of the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement each permits the Company and either MCC or MDLY, as applicable, to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, respectively, if the MCC Merger or the MDLY Merger, as applicable, has not been consummated on our then-current offering price of $8.55 per share. Stockholders of recordor before March 31, 2020 (the “Outside Date”). On May 1, 2020, the Company terminated both the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement effective as of each respective record dateMay 1, 2020 as the Outside Date has passed and neither the MCC Merger or the MDLY Merger has been consummated. In determining to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, the Company considered a number of factors, including, among other factors, changes in the relative valuations of the Company, MCC, and MDLY, the changed circumstances and the unpredictable economic conditions resulting from the global health crisis caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and the uncertainty regarding the parties’ ability to satisfy the conditions to closing in a timely manner.

As a result of the foregoing, in connection with the Delaware Action, no Settlement Fund will be entitledestablished or paid to receive the distribution. Below arestockholders of MCC and no Contingent Fee Award will be paid to plaintiff’s counsel.

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 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 could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19. Nevertheless, 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, 2020 through May 15, 2020.  However, as the discussion in this Item 7. 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, 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, 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 has caused during the months that followed our March 31, 2020 valuation, 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 impact to our results going forward may 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 the coronavirus or treat its impact, all of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict the extent to which its financial condition and results of operations will be affected at this time.

Overview
We are an externally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We are externally managed by SIC Advisors, which is aan investment adviser registered investment adviserwith the SEC under the Advisers Act. SIC Advisors is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments and monitoring our portfolio on an ongoing basis. In addition, we have qualifiedelected, and intend to continue to qualify annually to be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.


Under our Investment Advisory Agreement, we pay SIC Advisors a base management fee as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. Also, under the Administration Agreement, we reimburse Medley for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Medley Capital LLC in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including our allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of our Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs.

We intend to meet our investment objective by primarily lending to, and investing in, the debt of privately owned U.S. middle market companies, which we define as companies with annual revenue between $50 million and $1 billion. We intend to focus primarily on making investments in first lien senior secured debt, second lien secured debt, and to a lesser extent, subordinated debt, of middle market companies in a broad range of industries. We expect that the majority of our debt investments will bear interest at floating interest rates, but our portfolio may also include fixed-rate investments. We will originate transactions sourced through SIC Advisors’ existing network, and, to a lesser extent, expect to acquire debt securities through the secondary market. We may make equity investments in companies that we believe will generate appropriate risk adjusted returns, although we do not expect such investments to be a substantial portion of our portfolio.

The level of our investment activity depends on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to prospective portfolio companies, the level of merger, acquisition and refinancing activity for such portfolio companies, the availability of credit to finance transactions, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. Based on prevailing market conditions, we anticipate that we will invest the proceeds from each subscription closing generally

within 30-90 days. The precise timing will depend on the availability of investment opportunities that are consistent with our investment objectives and strategies.

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 certain requirements under the 1940 Act are met) after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. To obtain and maintain our RIC status,tax treatment, we must meet specified source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. To be eligible for RIC tax treatment under Subchapter M for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must 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.

Agreements and Plan of Mergers
The description of the Mergers (as defined below) and the Settlement (as defined below) set forth below are as of March 31, 2020. Subsequent to such date, the Amended MCC Merger Agreement (as defined below) and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement (as defined below) were terminated. See “Recent Developments” for more information.

On August 9, 2018, the Company entered into definitive agreements to acquire Medley Capital Corporation (NYSE/TASE: MCC, MCC) and Medley Management Inc. (NYSE: MDLY, "MDLY"). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2018, by and between MCC and the Company (the "MCC Merger Agreement"), MCC would, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the MCC Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the merger (the "MCC Merger"). In the MCC Merger, each share of MCC’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MCC Merger effective time (other than shares of MCC’s common stock held by MCC, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) would be converted into the right to receive 0.8050 shares of the Company’s common stock; provided that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock issuable in the MCC Merger.

Simultaneously, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "MDLY Merger Agreement"), dated as of August 9, 2018, by and among MDLY, the Company, and Sierra Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), MDLY would, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with 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 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, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) would be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.3836 shares of our common stock; provided that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock issuable in the MDLY Merger; 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 amended and restated definitive agreements with MCC and MDLY. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MCC Merger Agreement”), by and between MCC and the Company, MCC will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the MCC Merger. In the MCC Merger, each share of MCC’s common stock, other than shares of MCC’s common stock held by MCC, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, will be exchanged for the right to receive (i) 0.68 shares of the Company’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 the Company’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 the Company’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 the Company’s common stock in the event that the Plaintiff’s Attorney Fees are not fully and finally determined prior to the closing of the MCC Merger (such ratio, the “MCC Merger Exchange Ratio”); provided that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock issuable in the MCC Merger. 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 the Company’s common stock. MCC and the Company are appealing the Delaware Order and Final Judgment with respect to the Delaware Court of Chancery’s ruling on the Plaintiff Attorney Fees. Under the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, the MCC Merger exchange ratio is not subject to adjustment based on changes in the NAV of the Company or the market price of MCC’s common stock before the MCC Merger effective time. In addition, under the

Settlement, the defendant parties to the Settlement (other than MDLY) shall, among other things, deposit or cause to be deposited the Settlement Shares, the number of shares of which is to be calculated using the pro forma NAV of $6.37 per share as of June 30, 2019, and is not subject to subsequent adjustment based on changes in the NAV of the Company or the market price of MCC’s common stock before the MCC Merger effective time, provided that the MCC Merger is consummated by March 31, 2020, or, if consummated after March 31, 2020, only if the parties subsequently agree to extend the closing date on the same terms and conditions.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MDLY Merger Agreement”), by and among MDLY, the Company, and Merger Sub, 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, the Company 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 (as defined below)), will be exchanged for (i) 0.2668 shares of the Company’s common stock; provided that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’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 holders of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Medley LLC (the “Medley LLC Units” and, holders of the Medley LLC Units at any time on or after July 29, 2019, the “Medley LLC Unitholders”) will be exchanged for (i) 0.2072 shares of the Company’s common stock; provided that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.66 per share. Under the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, the MDLY exchange ratios and the cash consideration amount was fixed on July 29, 2019, the date of the signing of the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement. The MDLY exchange ratios and the cash consideration amount are not subject to adjustment based on changes in the net asset value of Sierra or the market price of MDLY Class A common stock before the MDLY Merger effective time, provided that the MDLY Merger is consummated by March 31, 2020, or, if consummated after March 31, 2020, only if the parties subsequently agree to extend the closing date on the same terms and conditions.

Pursuant to the 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 the Mergers are, or only the MDLY Merger is, consummated the Company’s common stock will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SRA”, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers or only the MDLY Merger, as applicable. If the MCC Merger is also consummated, the Company’s common stock will be listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers. If both Mergers are consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would be combined, Merger Sub, as a successor to MDLY, would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (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, while the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would not be combined, the investment management function relating to the operation of the Company, as the surviving company, would still be internalized (the “Sierra/MDLY Company”) and the Sierra/MDLY Company would be managed by MCC Advisors LLC.

The Mergers are subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company, MCC, 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 MCC 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. The Company and MDLY have the right to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including (subject to certain limitations set forth in the Amended MDLY 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 MDLY 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 MDLY Merger Agreement; (iii) the MDLY Merger has not closed on or prior to March 31, 2020; or (iv) either party has failed to obtain stockholder approval or the Amended MCC Merger Agreement has been terminated.

Set forth below is a description of the Decision (as defined below), which should be read in the context of the impact of the Delaware Order and Final Judgment and corresponding Settlement.

On February 11, 2019, a purported stockholder class action relating to the MCC Merger was commenced in the Delaware Court of Chancery by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd. (together, “FrontFour”), captioned 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, the Company, MCC, MCC Advisors LLC, 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 MCC’s stockholders in connection with the MCC Merger, and that MDLY, the Company, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint sought to enjoin the vote of MCC’s stockholders on the MCC Merger and enjoin enforcement of certain provisions of 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 MCC Merger and (ii) require MCC to conduct a “shopping process” for MCC on terms proposed by the plaintiffs in their complaint. The Delaware Court of Chancery held that MCC’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the MCC Merger, but rejected the plaintiffs’ claim that the Company 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 MCC’s stockholders on the MCC 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 MCC in connection with the vote of MCC’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, MCC 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 the Company’s common stock, with the number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be calculated using the pro forma NAV 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, MCC 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 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 $420,335 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 by the Company’s board of directors to appoint one independent director of MCC who will be selected by the independent directors of the Company on the board of directors of the post-merger company upon the closing of the Mergers; 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]
Whereas

Ashall be the amount of the Additional Fee (excluding the $100,000 award for the agreement by the Company’s board of directors to appoint one independent director of MCC who will be selected by the independent directors of the Company on the board of directors of the post-merger company upon the closing of the Mergers);

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 NAV 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, MCC 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, MCC or its successor shall use the formula set above, except that VPS shall equal the pro forma NAV 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 MCC or its successor, (ii) if the Additional Fee is less than the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, plaintiffs’ counsel shall return to MCC or its successor the difference between the Additional Fee Estimate and the Additional Fee and the Escrowed Fee shall be released to MCC or its successor, or (iii) if the Additional Fee is equal to the Additional Fee Estimate Payment, the Escrowed Fee shall be released to MCC or its successor.

On January 17, 2020, MCC and the Company 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 on the debt securities that we hold and distributions and capital gains on other interests that we acquire in our portfolio companies. We expect that the senior debt we invest in will generally have stated terms of three to ten years and that the subordinated debt we invest in will generally have stated terms of five to ten years. Our senior and subordinated debt investments bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable monthly, quarterly or semiannually. In addition, some of our investments provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest generally will become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment and other fees in connection with transactions. Original issue discountsOIDs and market discounts or premiums will be capitalized, and we will accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We will record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as fee income. Dividend income, if any, will be recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts.


Expenses
Our primary annual operating expenses consist of the payment of advisory fees and the reimbursement of expenses under our Investment Advisory Agreement with SIC Advisors and our Administration Agreement with Medley Capital LLC. We bear other expenses, which include, among other things:

corporate, organizational and offering expenses relating to offerings of our common stock, subject to limitations included in our Investment Advisory Agreement;
the cost of calculating our NAV, including the related fees and cost of any third-party valuation services;
the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock and other securities;
fees payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, monitoring our financial and legal affairs, making investments, and valuing investments, including fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of prospective investments;
interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments;

the reimbursement of the compensation of our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs, whose compensation is paid by Medley Capital LLC, to the extent that each such reimbursement amount is annually approved by our independent director committee and subject to the limitations included in our Administration Agreement.

Administrative Services
We reimburse Medley Capital LLC for the administrative expenses necessary for its performance of services to us. However, such reimbursement is made at an amount equal to the lower of Medley Capital LLC’s actual costs or the amount that we would be required to pay for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location. Also, such costs will be reasonably allocated to us on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. We will not reimburse Medley Capital LLC for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of Medley Capital LLC.

SIC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of our portfolio investments and rates each of them based on the categories set forth below, which we refer to as SIC Advisors’ investment credit rating. Credit RatingsInvestment credit ratings are assigned to each of the investments in our portfolio that are directly held by the Company, but exclude any off-balance sheet interests of the Company, such as the loans underlying the TRS:Company:
Investment
Credit Rating
Definition
1Investments that are performing above expectations.
  
2Investments that are performing within expectations, with risks that are neutral or favorable compared to risks at the time of origination or purchase. All new loans are rated ‘2’.
  
3Investments that are performing below expectations and that require closer monitoring, but where no loss of interest, dividend or principal is expected. Companies rated ‘3’ may be out of compliance with financial covenants, however, loan payments are generally not past due.
  

4Investments that are performing below expectations and for which risk has increased materially since origination or purchase. Some loss of interest or dividend is expected, but no loss of principal. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due).
  
5Investments that are performing substantially below expectations and whose risks have increased substantially since origination or purchase. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Some loss of principal is expected.

Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement
From June 29, 2012 through December 31, 2016, we were party to an Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement with SIC Advisors (the “Expense Support Agreement”). During the term of the Expense Support Agreement, SIC Advisors reimbursed us for operating expenses in an amount equal to the difference between our distributions paid to stockholders in each month, less the sum of our net investment income, net realized capital gains and dividends paid to us from our portfolio companies, not included in net income and net realized capital gains, during such period (“Expense Support Reimbursement”). To the extent that no dividends or other distributions were paid to our stockholders in any given month, then the Expense Support Reimbursement for such month was equal to such amount necessary in order for available operating funds for the month to equal zero. From April 1, 2016 until the expiration of the Expense Support Agreement on December 31, 2016, SIC Advisors made expense support payments on a discretionary basis by making an election on the last day of each month to fund an expense support payment in an amount equal to the difference between our distributions paid to stockholders during such month less the sum of our net investment income, net realized capital gains and dividends paid to us from our portfolio companies, not included in net income and net realized capital gains during such period.
The purpose of the Expense Support Agreement was to cover distributions to stockholders so as to ensure that the distributions did not constitute a return of capital for GAAP purposes and to reduce operating expenses until we had raised sufficient capital to be able to absorb such expenses. The Expense Support Agreement expired on December 31, 2016.
Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, we will reimburse SIC Advisors for expense support payments it previously made following any calendar quarter for which we received net investment income, net realized capital gains and dividends from our portfolio companies (not included in net income and net realized capital gains) in excess of the distributions paid to our stockholders during such calendar quarter (the “Excess Operating Funds”). Any such reimbursement will be made within three years of the date that the expense support payment obligation was incurred by SIC Advisors, subject to the conditions described below. The amount of the reimbursement during any calendar quarter will equal the lesser of (i) the Excess Operating Funds received during the quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all expense payments made by SIC Advisors that have not yet been

reimbursed. In addition, we will only make reimbursement payments to the extent our current annualized “operating expense ratio” is equal to or less than our operating expense ratio for the quarter during which the corresponding expense obligation was incurred and to the extent the annualized rate of its regular cash dividends to our stockholders for the month is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of our regular cash distributions to stockholders for the month during which the corresponding expense payment was incurred.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we recorded $0 and $7,892,273, respectively, in our consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as due from affiliate relating to the Expense Support Agreement.
Net Realized Gains/Losses fromon Investments
We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of an investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we recognized net realized gain/(loss)gain on investments of $(2,140,704) and $(22,951,047), respectively,$217,479, primarily due to the sale of investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized net realized loss on investments of $16,585,595, primarily due to certain non-cash restructuring transactions netand the wind-down of realized gains on the TRS. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized net realized gain/(loss) of $(10,469,065) and $(6,219,699), respectively, primarily due to certain non-cash restructuring transactions net of realized gains on the TRS.our TRS facility.

Net Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Investments
Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments reflects the net change in the fair value of our total investments including the total return swapTRS and provision for deferred taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we recorded a net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)depreciation of $(7,972,642)$120,282,285. The unrealized depreciation resulted from negative credit-related adjustments that caused a reduction in fair value of certain portfolio investments. Negative credit-related adjustments were, in part, on watchlist securities and $3,578,530, respectively. portfolio investments on non-accrual. In part, the net change in unrealized depreciation reflected widening credit spreads as market participants expected a higher yield on similar investments given the significant market volatility generated by the COVID-19 pandemic and, to some extent, other factors such as specific industry concerns, uncertainty about the duration of business shutdowns and near-term liquidity needs of certain of our portfolio investments. For additional information concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on our business and our operating results, see Part II - Other information, Item 1A. Risk Factors, “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” and “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.”

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2019, we recorded a net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)appreciation of $15,693,675 and $11,758,402, respectively.$22,704,274. The unrealized appreciation resulted from the reversal of unrealized losses as a result of realizations on certain non-cash restructuring transactions.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a BDC, 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 historically have been generated primarily from the net proceeds of our public offering of common stock, use of our credit facilities and our TRS. Currently, our primary source of liquidity is derived from the use of our credit facility.

As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016,2019, we had $82,699,636$151.8 million and $99,400,794,$225.3 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents. 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 to make investments in our targeted asset classes, cash distributions to our stockholders, and other general corporate purposes.

In order to satisfy the Code requirements applicable to us as a RIC, we intend to distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our taxable income, but we may also elect to periodically spillover 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 certain requirements under the 1940 Act are met) at the time of the borrowing or issuance of preferred stock. This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow.

We have entered into certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. On April 5, 2012, we entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with SIC Advisors in accordance with the 1940 Act. The Investment Advisory Agreement became effective as of April 17, 2012, the date that we met the minimum offering requirement. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the initial term of the Investment Advisory Agreement was for two years from its effective date, with one-year renewals subject to approval by our board of directors, a majority of whom must be independent directors. On March 1, 2017,Most recently, on April 3, 2020, the board of directors approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term at an in-persona board meeting. SIC Advisors serves as our investment adviser in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Payments under our Investment Advisory Agreement in each reporting period consist of (i) a management fee equal to a percentage of the value of our gross assets and (ii) an incentive fee based on our performance.

On April 5, 2012, we entered into the Administration Agreement with Medley Capital LLC with an initial term of two years, pursuant to which Medley Capital LLC furnishes us with administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. On March 1, 2017,The Administration Agreement became effective as of April 17, 2012, the date that we met the minimum offering requirement. Most

recently, on April 3, 2020, the board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an additional one-year term at an in-persona board meeting. Medley Capital LLC is reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on our behalf in performing its obligations. Such costs are reasonably allocated to us on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. We do not reimburse Medley Capital LLC for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of Medley Capital LLC.

If any of our contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs may increase under any new agreements that we enter into as replacements. We would also likely incur expenses in locating alternative parties to provide the services we expect to receive under the investment advisory agreement and administration agreement. Any new investment advisory agreement would also be subject to approval by our stockholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
On August 27, 2013, Arbor, a wholly-owned financing subsidiary of the Company, entered into a TRS with Citibank.

On September 29, 2017, Arbor entered into the Fifth Amended Confirmation Letter Agreement with Citibank. The Fifth Amended Confirmation Agreement reducesreduced the maximum portfolio notional (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) from $300,000,000 to $180,000,000, through incremental reductions of $60,000,000 on October 3, 2017 and $20,000,000 on each of November 3, 2017, December 3, 2017 and January 3, 2018. The Fifth Amended Confirmation Agreement also decreasesdecreased the interest rate payable to Citibank from LIBOR plus 1.65% per annum to LIBOR plus 1.60% per annum. Other than the foregoing, the Fifth Amended Confirmation Agreement did not change any of the other material terms of the TRS. On July 22, 2019, the TRS with Citibank was terminated, and the TRS was fully wound down during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019.

The TRS with Citibank enablesenabled Arbor to obtain the economic benefit of the loans underlying the TRS, despite the fact that such loans willwere not be directly held or otherwise owned by Arbor, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank. Accordingly, the TRS iswas analogous to Arbor utilizing leverage to acquire loans and incurring an interest expense to a lender.

SIC Advisors actsacted as the investment manager of Arbor and hashad discretion over the composition of the basket of loans underlying the TRS. The terms of the TRS arewere governed by an ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, the Schedule thereto and Credit Support Annex to such Schedule, and the Confirmation exchanged thereunder, between Arbor and Citibank, which collectively establishestablished the TRS, and are collectively referred to herein as the “TRS Agreement”.

There were no transactions in TRS contracts or derivative assets from Citibank during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Transactions in TRS contracts during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 were $3.1$9.2 million in realized gainslosses and $2.0$6.7 million in unrealized depreciation, which are recorded on the consolidated statements of operations.
Transactions in TRS contracts during the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $0.8 million in realized gains and $5.2 millionnet change in unrealized appreciation, which are recorded on the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operations.Operations.

Our derivative asset from Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement as of September 30, 2017, was $1.0 million, which is recorded on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as a receivable due on total return swap.
The following table shows the volume of the Company’s derivative transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016:2019 were as follows:

On March 27, 2015, the Company and GALIC entered into a limited liability company operating agreement to co-manage Sierra JV. All portfolio and other material decisions regarding Sierra JV must be submitted to Sierra JV's board of managers, which is comprised of four members, two of whom are selected by the Company and the other two are selected by GALIC. The Company and GALIC have committed to provide $100 million of equity tohas concluded that it does not operationally control Sierra JV. As the Company does not operationally control Sierra JV, it does not consolidate the operations of Sierra JV within the consolidated financial statements. As a practical expedient, the Company uses NAV to determine the fair value of its investment in Sierra JV; therefore, this investment has been presented as a reconciling item within the fair value hierarchy (see Note 4).

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Sierra JV had total capital commitments of $116 million, with the Company providing $87.5$101.5 million and GALIC providing $12.5$14.5 million. Sierra JV commenced operations on July 15, 2015. Approximately $105.2 million was funded as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, relating to these commitments, of which $92.1 million was from the Company. The Company does not have the right to withdraw any of their respective capital commitment, unless in connection with a transfer of its membership interests. The Company may transfer full membership interests as long as it is approved by all members and transferred in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws.

On August 4, 2015, Sierra JV entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility the ("JV FacilityFacility") led by Credit Suisse, AG, Cayman Islands Branch ("CS") with initial commitments of $100 million.million subject to certain leverage and borrowing base restrictions. On December 29, 2015, the JV Facility was amended and the commitmenttotal commitments were increased to $135 million.

As of September 30, 2017, there was $159.9 million outstanding underOn 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. On March 31, 2020, the JV Facility reinvestment period was further extended from March 31, 2020 to April 30, 2020. On April 30, 2020, the JV Facility reinvestment period was further extended from April 30, 2020 to July 31, 2020. Effective as of April 30, 2020, the maturity date was extended to July 31, 2023.The JV Facility is secured substantially by all of Sierra JV had totalJV's assets, at fair value of $241.3 million. subject certain exclusions set forth in the Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, Sierra JV’s portfolio was comprised of 100.0% of senior secured first lien term loans to 4960 different portfolio companies with two portfolio companies on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2019, Sierra JV’s portfolio was comprised of 100% of senior secured first lien term loans to 60 different portfolio companies with one portfolio company on non-accrual status.

We have determined that the Sierra JV is an investment company under ASC 946, however in accordance with such guidance, we 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 us. Accordingly, we do not consolidate our interest in the Sierra JV.

Distributions
We have elected, and intend to continue to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To obtain and maintain RIC tax treatment, we must, among others things, distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders. In order to avoid certain U.S. federal excise taxes imposed on RICs, we must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (i) 98% of our ordinary income for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made by us to use our taxable year) and (iii) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no U.S. 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 currently intend to distribute net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually out of the assets legally available for such distributions. However, we may decide in the future to retain such capital gains for investment and elect to treat such gains as deemed distributions to you. If this happens, you will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if you had received an actual distribution of the capital gains that we retain and reinvested the net after tax proceeds in us. In this situation, you would be eligible to claim a tax credit (or, in certain circumstances, a tax refund) equal to your allocable share of the tax we paid on the capital gains deemed distributed to you. We can offer no assurance that we will continue to achieve results that will permit the payment of any cash distributions and, if we issue senior securities, we may be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.
Subject
Our board of directors temporarily suspended the monthly distributions on the shares of the Company’s common stock. See “Recent Developments” for more information. Any distributions to our stockholders paid by the Company is subject to our board of directors’ discretion and applicable legal restrictions we expect to authorize and pay monthly distributions to our stockholders. Any distributions to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. We expect to continue making monthly distributions unlesstake into account our results of operations, our general financial condition, general economic conditions, or other factors prohibit us from doing so.declaring a distribution. Any distributions to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. From time to time, but not less than quarterly, we will review our accounts to determine whether distributions to our stockholders are appropriate. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. From the commencement of our offering through September 30, 2016, a portion of our distributions were comprised in part of expense support payments made by SIC Advisors that may bewere subject

to repayment by us within three years of the date of such support payment. The Expense Support Agreement expired on December 31, 2016 and the Company's contingent obligation to repay eligible reimbursements to SIC Advisors expired on September 30, 2019. The purpose

of this arrangement was to cover distributions to stockholders so as to ensure that the distributions did not constitute a return of capital for GAAP purposes. In the future, we may have distributions which could be characterized as a return of capital. Such distributions are not based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods and/or SIC Advisors elects to make expense support payments under an expense support agreement. Any future reimbursements to SIC Advisors will reduce the net investment income that may otherwise be available for distribution to stockholders.periods. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the performance necessary to sustain ourmake distributions or that we will be able to pay distributionsand at all.historical levels in the future. SIC Advisors has no obligation to enter into a renewed expense support agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, if net expense support payments of $5,389,627 and $16,093,129 were not made by SIC Advisors, 30% and 30% of the distributions would have been a return of capital for GAAP purposes, respectively.

Our distributions may exceed our earnings, which we refer to as a return of capital, especially during the period before we have invested substantially all of the proceeds of our offering. As a result, a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital. Our use of the term “return of capital” merely means distributions in excess of our earnings and as such may constitute a return on your individual investments and does not mean a return on capital. Therefore stockholders are advised that they should be aware of the differences with our use of the term “return of capital” and “return on capital.”

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that we havethe Company has declared or paid to ourits stockholders for the currentduring 2020 and prior fiscal years.2019. Stockholders of record as of each respective record date were entitled to receive the distribution.

We have adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to which common stockholders may elect to have the full amount of any cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. As a result, if we declare a cash distribution, stockholders that have “opted in” to our distribution reinvestment plan will have their distribution 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.

Each year a statement on Internal Revenue Service Form 1099-DIV (or such successor form) identifying the source of the distribution (i.e., paid from ordinary income, paid from net capital gain on the sale of securities, or a return of capital) will be mailed to our stockholders. The tax basis of shares must be reduced by the amount of any return of capital distributions, which will result in an increase in the amount of any taxable gain (or a reduction in any deductible loss) on the sale of shares.

MCC and the Company are appealing the Delaware Order and Final Judgment with respect to the Delaware Court of Chancery’s ruling on the Plaintiff Attorney Fees. Under the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, the MCC Merger exchange ratio is not subject to adjustment based on changes in the NAV of the Company or the market price of MCC’s common stock before the MCC Merger effective time. In addition, under the Settlement, the defendant parties to the Settlement (other than MDLY) shall, among other things, deposit or cause to be deposited the Settlement Shares, the number of shares of which is to be calculated using the pro forma NAV of $6.37 per share as of June 30, 2019, and is not subject to subsequent adjustment based on changes in the NAV of the Company or the market price of MCC’s common stock before the MCC Merger effective time, provided that the MCC Merger is consummated by March 31, 2020, or, if consummated after March 31, 2020, only if the parties subsequently agree to extend the closing date on the same terms and conditions.

Pursuant to the 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 the Mergers are, or only the MDLY Merger is, consummated the Company’s common stock will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SRA”, with such listing expected to be effective as of the endclosing date of the Mergers or only the MDLY Merger, as applicable. If the MCC Merger is also consummated, the Company’s common stock will be listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers. If both Mergers are consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would be combined, Merger Sub, as a successor to MDLY, would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (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, while the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would not be combined, the investment management function relating to the operation of the Company, as the surviving company, would still be internalized (the “Sierra/MDLY Company”) and the Sierra/MDLY Company would be managed by MCC Advisors LLC.

The Mergers are subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company, MCC, 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 MCC 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 quarterly period followingparty; (ii) any governmental entity whose consent or approval is a condition to closing set forth in Section 8.1 of the dateAmended MCC Merger Agreement has denied the granting of purchaseany 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. The Company and MDLY have the right to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including (subject to certain limitations set forth in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement), among others: (i) by mutual written agreement of each party; (ii) any governmental entity whose consent or approval is a continuous basis from yearcondition to year for certain services.closing set forth in Section 8.1 of the Amended MDLY 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 MDLY Merger Agreement; (iii) the MDLY Merger has not closed on or prior to March 31, 2020; or (iv) either party has failed to obtain stockholder approval or the Amended MCC Merger Agreement has been terminated.

We have entered into a license agreement with SIC Advisors under which SIC Advisors has agreed to grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “Sierra” for specified purposes in our business. Under thisthe license agreement, we will have a right to use the “Sierra” name, subject to certain conditions, for so long as SIC Advisors or one of its affiliates remains our investment adviser. Other than with respect to this limited license, we will have no legal right to the “Sierra” name.

Management Fee
We pay SIC Advisors a fee for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The fee consists of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of our gross assets and is payable quarterly in arrears. The incentive fee consists of:


An incentive fee on net investment income (“subordinated incentive fee on income”) is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and is based upon pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding quarter. No subordinated incentive fee on income is payable in any calendar quarter in which pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed a quarterly return to stockholders of 1.75% per quarter on our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, or the preferred quarterly return. All pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the preferred quarterly preferred return, but is less than or equal to 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter in any quarter, will be payable to SIC Advisors. We refer to this portion of our subordinated incentive fee on income as the catch up. It is intended to provide an

incentive fee of 20% on pre-incentive fee net investment income when pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter in any quarter. For any quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, the subordinated incentive fee on income shall equal 20% of the amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income, because the preferred return and catch up will have been achieved.
A capital gains incentive fee will be earned on realized investments and shall be payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year during which the Investment Advisory Agreement is in effect. If the Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated, the fee will become payable as of the effective date of such termination. The capital gains incentive fee is based on our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, which we refer to as “net realized capital gains.” The capital gains incentive fee equals 20% of net realized capital gains, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fee.

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, SIC Advisors bears all organizationorganizational and offering expenses on our behalf. Since June 2, 2014, the date that we raised $300 million in gross proceeds in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock, SIC Advisors haswas no longer been obligated to bear, pay or otherwise be responsible for any ongoing organizationorganizational and offering expenses on our behalf, and we have been responsible for paying or otherwise incurring all such organizationorganizational and offering expenses. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse SIC Advisors for any such organizational and offering expenses incurred by SIC Advisors not to exceed 1.25% of the gross subscriptions raised by us over the course of the offering period, which was initially scheduled to terminate two years from the initial offering date, unless extended. Most recently, at a meeting held on March 1, 2017, ourOn July 2, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved another extensiondetermined to terminate the Company’s offering effective as of our offering for an additional year, which will extend the offering through April 17, 2018, unless further extended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that organizational and offering expenses, together with sales commissions, the dealer manager fee and any discounts paid to members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our registration statement or otherwise at the time of the completion of our offering, then SIC Advisors shall be required to pay or, if already paid by us, reimburse us for amounts exceeding such 15% limit.July 31, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies
This discussion of our expected operating plans is based upon our expected consolidated financial statements, which will be prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.("GAAP"). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements will require our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. In addition to the discussion below, we will describe our critical accounting policies in the notes to our future consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Investments
We apply 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, we have categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as identified below and discussed in Note 4.
Level 1 — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. Publicly listed equities and publicly listed derivatives will be included in Level 1. In addition, securities sold, but not yet purchased and call options will be included in Level 1. We will not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably affect the quoted price.
Level 2 — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. In certain cases, debt and equity securities are valued on the basis of prices from an orderly transaction between market participants provided by reputable dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments, and various relationships between investments. Investments which are generally expected to be included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, convertible debt indexed to publicly listed securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives.

Level 3 — Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation. Investments that are expected to be included in this category are our private portfolio companies.

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, our 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 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, 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 our board of directors based upon input from management and third 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.

We use third-party valuation firms to assist the board of directors in the valuation of its portfolio investments. The valuation reports generated by the third-party valuation firms consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market based information, including comparable transactions, performance multiples, and movement in yields of debt instruments, among other factors. Based on market data obtained from the third-party valuation firms, we use a combined market yield analysis and an enterprise model of valuation. In applying the market yield analysis, the value of our loans are 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, we use 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. The methodologies for performing investments may be based on, among other things: valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, third party valuations of the portfolio company, considering offers from third parties to buy the company, estimating the value to potential strategic buyers and considering the value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. 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. We may estimate the fair value of warrants based on a model such as the Black-Scholes model or simulation models or a combination thereof.

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 initially valued by the valuation professionals;
conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management; and
an independent valuation firm engaged by our board of directors prepares an independent valuation report for approximately one third of the portfolio investments each quarter on a rotating quarterly basis on non fiscal year-end quarters, such that each of these investments will be valued by an independent valuation firm at least twice per annum when combined with the fiscal year-end review of all the investments by independent valuation firms, exclusive of theany TRS underlying portfolio.

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

management reviews preliminary valuations and their own independent assessment;
the audit committee of our board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of 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 SIC Advisors, the respective independent 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 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.
The valuation procedures described are generally applied to the loans underlying the TRS, except that such assets are not reviewed by independent third party valuation firms. We will value the TRS in accordance with the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS will be based on the increase or decrease in the value of the assets underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The assets underlying the TRS will be valued by Citibank. Citibank will base its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to us for review and testing. Our board of directors will review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the assets underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly determination of NAV. To the extent our board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the assets underlying the TRS, such valuation will be discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS. For additional disclosures on the TRS, see “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.”
 
Our investments in subordinated notes are carried at fair value, which is based on a discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model models both the underlying collateral (“assets”) and the liabilities of the CLO capital structure. The discounted cash flow model uses a set of assumptions including projected default rates, recovery rates, reinvestment rates and prepayment rates in order to arrive at estimated cash flows of the assets. The discounted cash flow model distributes the asset cash flows to the liability structure based on the payment priorities and discounts them back using appropriate market discount rates based on discount rates for comparable CLOs. The assumptions are based on available market data as well as management estimates. Additional data is used to validate the results from the discounted cash flow method, such as analysis of relevant data observed in the CLO market, review of quotes, where available, recent acquisitions and observable transactions in the subordinated notes, among other factors.

Revenue Recognition
We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. For loans and debt securities with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance, we generally will not accrue PIK interest for accounting purposes if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is not collectible. We do not accrue as a receivable interest on loans and debt securities or accounting purposes if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such interest. Original issue discounts, market discounts, or premiums are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as fee income. Dividend income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amount.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
We measure net realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

Payment-in-Kind Interest
We have investments in our portfolio that contain a PIK interest provision. Any PIK interest is added to the principal balance of such investments and is recorded as income, if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is collectible. In order to maintain our status as a RIC tax treatment, substantially all of this income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even if we have not collected any cash.

OrganizationOrganizational and Offering Expenses
We have been responsible for all ongoing organizationorganizational and offering expenses since June 2, 2014.2014 until the termination of the Company's offering effective as of July 31, 2018.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes
We have elected, and intend to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes and intend to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders from our tax earnings and profits. To obtain and maintain our RIC tax treatment, we must, among other things, meet specified source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute annually at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any.

On October 4, 2017, the Company, SIC Advisors and certain of our affiliates received an exemptive order that supersedes the Exemptive Order (the “New 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. The terms of the New Exemptive Order are substantially similar to the Exemptive Order.
On October 10, 2017,April 28, 2020, our board of directors declaredtemporarily suspended the monthly distributions on the shares of the Company’s common stock to enhance financial flexibility. Shareholder distributions, including both cash and through the distribution reinvestment plan, will be suspended beginning with the month ending April 30, 2020. The Company expects to evaluate resumption of monthly distributions at a series of semi-monthly distributions for October, November and December 2017future date. The Company believes that it is in the amountbest long-term interests of $0.02667 per share. Stockholdersits shareholders to maintain a conservative approach to its distribution policy during this volatile economic environment.

Section 9.1(c) of recordthe Amended MCC Merger Agreement and Section 9.1(c) of the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement each permits the Company and either MCC or MDLY, as applicable, to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, respectively, if the MCC Merger or the MDLY Merger, as applicable, has not been consummated on or before March 31, 2020 (the “Outside Date”). On May 1, 2020, the Company terminated both the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and

the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement effective as of each respective record dateMay 1, 2020 as the Outside Date has passed and neither the MCC Merger or the MDLY Merger has been consummated. In determining to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, the Company considered a number of factors, including, among other factors, changes in the relative valuations of the Company, MCC, and MDLY, the changed circumstances and the unpredictable economic conditions resulting from the global health crisis caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and the uncertainty regarding the parties’ ability to satisfy the conditions to closing in a timely manner.

As a result of the foregoing, in connection with the Delaware Action, no Settlement Fund will be entitledestablished or paid to receive the distribution. Below arestockholders of MCC and no Contingent Fee Award will be paid to plaintiff’s counsel.

in the Delaware Order and Final Judgment, remain in effect. In addition, we have issued common shares and received gross proceedsas a result of $2the foregoing, $15.7 million subsequent to Septemberof deferred transaction costs incurred in connection with the Mergers that were deferred until the closing or termination of the Mergers will be expensed in the quarter ended June 30, 2017 through November 6, 2017.2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2017, 90.3%March 31, 2020, 96.3% of our portfolio investments (based on fair value) paid floating interest rates, 9.7%while 3.7% paid fixed interest rates 5.1%and 18.4% were non-income producing equity or other investments and the remaining 94.9%while 81.6% were income producing equity or other investments. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to any variable rate investments we hold and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we hold. In addition, a rise in interest rates may increase the likelihood that a portfolio company defaults on a loan. However, many of our variable rate investments provide for an interest rate floor, which may prevent our interest income from increasing until benchmark interest rates increase beyond a threshold amount. To the extent that a substantial portion of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates beyond this threshold would make it easier for us to meet or exceed the hurdle rate applicable to the subordinated incentive fee on income under the Investment Advisory Agreement we have entered into with SIC Advisors, and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to SIC Advisors with respect to our increased pre-incentive fee net investment income.
Under the terms of the TRS between Arbor and Citibank, Arbor will pay fees to Citibank at a floating rate based on LIBOR in exchange for the right to receive the economic benefit of a portfolio of assets having a maximum notional amount of $300 million.
Our interest expense will also be affected by changes in the published LIBOR rate in connection with our credit facilities. See "Risks Relating to Debt Financing - Changes relating to the LIBOR calculation process may adversely affect the value of our portfolio of LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities” in "Item 1 A. Risk Factors" of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. We expect any future credit facilities, total return swap agreements or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries may enter into will also be based on a floating interest rate. As a result, we are subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates, when we or our subsidiaries have debt outstanding or financing arrangements in effect, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments.

In addition, any investments we make that are denominated in a foreign currency will be subject to risks associated with changes in currency exchange rates. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved.

Based on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the following table shows the approximate annual impact on the change in net interest income of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates, assuming no changes in our investment portfolio and capital structure:

We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and debt. If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in

interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

In addition, we may have risk regarding portfolio valuation. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies-Valuation of Investments” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
ThereFrom time to time, we are no material pendinginvolved 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 (the "New York Supreme Court"), 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., MCC, MDLY, the Company and Merger Sub. 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 the Company, 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 release in the Delaware Action also operates to release the claims asserted in the New York Actions. The attorneys for 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 and the other defendants reached an agreement with the respective plaintiffs to resolve the New York Actions. While the Company and the other defendants 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, MCC 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 MCC’s insurance carrier. On May 11, 2010, the court formally approved the parties’ settlement agreement and dismissed the New York Actions.

Set forth below is a description of the Decision (as defined below), which should be read in the context of the impact of the Delaware Order and corresponding Settlement.

On February 11, 2019, a purported stockholder class action relating to the MCC Merger was commenced in the Delaware Court of Chancery by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd. (together, “FrontFour”), captioned 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, the Company, MCC, MCC Advisors LLC, 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 MCC’s stockholders in connection with the MCC Merger, and that MDLY, the Company, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint sought to enjoin the vote of MCC’s stockholders on the MCC Merger and enjoin enforcement of certain provisions of 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 MCC Merger and (ii) require MCC to conduct a “shopping process” for MCC on terms proposed by the plaintiffs in their complaint. The Delaware Court of Chancery held that MCC’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the MCC Merger, but rejected the plantiffs’ claim that the Company 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 MCC’s stockholders on the MCC 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 MCC in connection with the vote of MCC’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, MCC 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 the Company’s common stock, with the number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be calculated using the pro forma NAV 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, MCC 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, weamong other matters, FrontFour is subject to customary standstill restrictions and required to vote in favor of the 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 anycould have been asserted in the Delaware Action through September 26, 2019.

The Delaware Court of our subsidiariesChancery 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 $420,335 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, the Company terminated the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement. Accordingly, no Settlement Fund will be established or paid to stockholders of MCC 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, MCC and the Company filed a notice of appeal with the Delaware Supreme Court from those provisions of the Delaware 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.

On April 5, 2019, a purported stockholder class action was commenced in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, by alleged stockholders of Sierra Income Corporation, captioned Roger Anderson et al. v. Stephen R. Byers et al., Index No. 652006/2019. Named as defendants are a partyStephen R. Byers, Oliver T. Kane, Valerie Lancaster-Beal, Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Sierra Income Corporation, and Sierra Management, Inc. The complaint alleges that the individuals named as defendants breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders of Sierra Income Corporation in connection with the proposed mergers of Medley Capital Corporation with and into Sierra Income Corporation and Medley Management Inc. with and into Sierra Management, Inc., and that Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Sierra Income Corporation, and Sierra Management, Inc. aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks to enjoin the proposed mergers or, in the alternative, to recover money damages in an unspecified amount. On November 8, 2019, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that reiterated the allegations of which any of our property or any of our subsidiaries' propertythe original complaint and added allegations concerning the new mergers, including that the new mergers are “even more financially unfavorable to Sierra” than the old mergers and that under the new mergers, and that “Sierra would actually be paying more for MDLY . . . when all consideration is taken into account,” based on the erroneous allegation that Sierra is the subject.party responsible for bearing the cost of the MCC settlement fund. Plaintiffs also allege that Brook Taube and Seth Taube exercised control over Sierra and breached fiduciary duties owed to Sierra in that capacity. Pursuant to a stipulation entered by the Court on February 5, 2020, the plaintiffs are required

to advise the defendants within twenty days of the filing of a definitive proxy statement relating to the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement whether they intend to file a second amended complaint. Defendants’ time to respond shall be 45 days following the later of the plaintiffs either filing a second amended complaint or notifying the defendants that they do not intend to file a second amended complaint. A preliminary conference was scheduled for April 21, 2020. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the preliminary conference that was set for April 21, 2020 has been continued with no new date set. The defendants believe the claims asserted in the action are without merit and they intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

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 December 31, 2016,2019, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2017,20, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. ThereOther than the items disclosed below, there have been no material changes during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 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.

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. 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, 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 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.

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 of COVID-19 in many countries, including the United States, 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, governmental authorities have imposed restrictions on travel and the temporary closure of many corporate offices, retail stores, restaurants, fitness clubs and manufacturing facilities and factories in affected jurisdictions, including, beginning in March 2020, in the United States. COVID-19 and the resulting economic dislocations have had 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, business closures and other quarantine measures on service providers 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 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 SIC 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 the Termination of the Mergers


The termination 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 have 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;

we may experience negative publicity and negative reactions from the financial markets and from our investors, creditors and employees;

we have incurred and may continue to incur certain significant costs relating to the Mergers, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor, printing, and other professional service fees, which may relate to activities that we would not have undertaken other than in connection with the Mergers; and

we have committed, and may be required to further commit, time and resources to defending legal proceedings commenced against us relating to the Mergers.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Proceeds
In June 2013, we commenced a share repurchase program pursuant to which it intends to conductwe conducted quarterly share repurchases, of up to 2.5% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares in any 3-month period or 10% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares in any 12-month period. The purpose of the share repurchase program iswas to allow stockholders to sell their shares back to us at a price equal to the most recently disclosed NAV per share of our common stock immediately prior to the date of repurchase. Shares will bewere purchased from stockholders participating in the program on a pro rata basis. Unless our board of directors determinesdetermined otherwise, the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year will bewere limited to the proceeds received in association with the sale of shares of common stock under the distribution reinvestment plan.

Notwithstanding the suspension of the share repurchase program and, in connection with the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, our board of directors approved the repurchase of shares of our common stock from our stockholders who have requested repurchases in connection with such stockholder’s death or disability. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for more information.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 124,861 shares of certain shareholders due to death or disability. The following table provides information concerning our repurchases of shares of our common stock from our stockholders who have requested repurchases in connection with such stockholder’s death or disability during the three months ended September 30, 2017 pursuant to our share repurchase program:March 31, 2020:
