(a)    All of the Company's investments, except the investments noted by this footnote, are qualifying assets under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets.

(b)    Percentages are based on net assets attributable to common stock as of March 31, 2024.

Such investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).
(d)    All amounts are in thousands except share amounts.
(e)    Non-income producing at March 31, 2024.
(f)    Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded portion. The investment may be subject to an unused/letter of credit facility fee. The negative fair value, if applicable, is the result of the capitalized discount on the loan or the unfunded commitment being valued below par. The negative amortized cost, if applicable, is the result of the capitalized discount being greater than the principal amount outstanding on the loan. Please refer to Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies for additional details.

(j)    The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “S”), or Prime ("P") and which reset daily, monthly, quarterly, or semiannually. For each, the Company has provided the spread over the relevant reference rate and the current interest rate in effect at March 31, 2024. Certain investments are subject to reference rate floors. For fixed rate loans, a spread above a reference rate is not applicable. For floating rate securities, the all-in rate is disclosed within parentheses.
(k)    The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments based on the level of control that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally presumed to be “non-controlled” when the Company owns 25% or less of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and/or does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. A company is generally presumed to be “controlled” when the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. The Company classifies this investment as “controlled”.

(l)    Securities exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, (as defined below), and may be deemed to be “restricted securities”. As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate fair value of these securities is $581.5 million or 29.1% of the Company’s net assets. The initial acquisition dates have been included for such securities.

(m) The Company’s investment or a portion thereof is held through a total return swap agreement with Nomura Global Finanical Products Inc. (“Nomura”).

(n) 40% of the Company’s investment is pledged as collateral under the total return swap agreement with Nomura.

(o) Unless otherwise indicated, all of the Company's investments or a portion thereof are pledged as collateral under the JPM Revolver Facility.

(p)The Company's investment or a portion thereof is pledged as collateral under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility. Individual investments can be divided into parts which are pledged to separate credit facilities.

(q) The Company's investment or a portion thereof is pledged as collateral under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. Individual investments can be divided into parts which are pledged to separate credit facilities.

(r) The Company's investment falls under the definition of a significant subsidiary, as it exceeded the threshold of at least one of the tests under Rule 4-08(g), or exceeded the threshold of at least one of the tests under Rule 3-09. See Note 3 for summarized financial information.

(s)     The Collateralized Securities - subordinated notes are treated as equity investments and are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow of the payments made by the underlying fund’s securities less contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses. The estimated yield indicated is based upon a current projection of the amount and timing of these recurring distributions and the estimated amount of repayment of principal upon termination. Such projections are periodically reviewed and adjusted, and the estimated yield may not ultimately be realized.

(t)     The Company's investment is held through the consolidated subsidiary, Kahala Aviation Holdings, LLC, which owns 100% of the equity of the operating company, Kahala Ireland OpCo Designated Activity Company.

(u)     For equity investments in Collateralized Securities, the effective yield is presented in place of the investment coupon rate for each investment. Refer to footnote (s) for a further description of an equity investment in a Collateralized Security.

(v)    The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments further based on the level of ownership that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally deemed as "non-affiliated" when the Company owns less than 5% of a portfolio company's outstanding voting securities and "affiliated" when the Company owns 5% or more of a portfolio company's outstanding voting securities. The Company classifies this investment as "affiliated".

(w) The Company's investment is held through the consolidated subsidiary, Kahala Aviation Holdings, LLC, which owns 49% of the operating company, Danish CRJ LTD.

(z)     The investment is held through BSP TCAP Acquisition Holdings LP, which is an affiliated acquisition entity. Due to certain restrictions, such as limits on the number of partners allowable within the equity structures of the newly acquired investments, these investments are still held within the acquisition entity as of March 31, 2024.

(aa)     The Company's investment is held through the consolidated subsidiaries, Kahala Aviation Holdings, LLC and Kahala Aviation US, Inc., which own 100% of the equity of the operating company, Kahala US OpCo LLC.

Note 1 - Organization
Franklin BSP Capital Corporation (the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and intends to electhas elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on January 29, 2020 and converted to a Delaware corporation on September 23, 2020, pursuant to which Franklin BSP Capital Corporation succeeded to the business of Franklin BSP Capital L.L.C.

The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Adviser oversees the management of the Company’s activities and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to the Company’s portfolio.
The Company’s investment objective is to generate both current income capital and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company intends to investinvests primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. The Company defines middle market companies as those with annual revenues up to $1 billion,EBITDA of between $25 million and $100 million annually, although the Company may invest in larger or smaller companies. The Company also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions.
The Company is conductingconducted a private placement of shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Each investor in the private placement will makemade a capital commitment (the “Capital Commitments”) to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a subscription agreement (a “Subscription Agreement”). Investors will bewere required to make capital contributions to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Drawdown Purchase Price”) each time the Company delivers a drawdown notice (the “Drawdown Notice”), which will bewere delivered at least ten business days prior to the required funding date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed their respective Capital Commitments.
The Company also conducted a private placement of shares of its preferred stock designated as series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) in reliance on exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. See Note 10 - Preferred Stock for the terms of such preferred stock, including liquidation preference, distributions, and rights regarding conversion to shares of Common Stock.
On October 2, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Franklin BSP Lending Corporation, a Maryland corporation ("FBLC"), Franklin BSP Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, the Adviser. The Merger Agreement provides details on the purpose of the Mergers (as defined below) and sets forth that, subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), Merger Sub merged with and into FBLC (the "Merger"), with FBLC continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Immediately after the Effective Time, FBLC merged with and into the Company (together with the Merger, the "Mergers"), with the Company continuing as the surviving company.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, both normal and recurring which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for the periods presented. The Company is an investment company and accordingly applies specific accounting and financial reporting requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946- 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies.
We have also formed and expect to continue to form consolidated subsidiaries (the "Consolidated Holding Companies"). The Company consolidates the following subsidiarysubsidiaries for accounting purposes: FBCC LendingEEF Holdings LLC, FBCC Jupiter Funding, LLC (“Jupiter Funding”), FBLC Funding I, LLC (“Funding I”), FBLC 57th Street Funding, LLC ("57th Street") and 54th Street Equity Holdings, Inc. The Company owns 100% of the Consolidated Holding Companies.equity of Kahala Aviation Holdings, LLC and Kahala Aviation US, Inc., which are consolidated for accounting purposes. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP Prior to October 4, 2023, the Company also consolidated FBCC Lending I, LLC. Refer to Note 5 - Borrowings for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, as appropriate. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements may not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2021.

additional information.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Consolidation
As provided under ASC 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a substantially or wholly-owned investment company or controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the accounts of the Company's substantially wholly-owned subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements. Although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC, ("SLF"), the Company does not have sole control over significant actions of SLF for purposes of the 1940 Act or otherwise, and thus does not consolidate its interest.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
Portfolio investments are reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. The board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) has delegated to the Adviser as valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) the responsibility of determining the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio, subject to oversight of the Board of Directors, pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As such, the Valuation Designee is charged with determining the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio, subject to oversight of the Board of Directors. On a quarterly basis, the CompanyValuation Designee performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as follows:
Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The CompanyValuation Designee may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the CompanyValuation Designee determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined to be readily available, the CompanyValuation Designee uses the quote obtained.

Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the CompanyValuation Designee may take into account in fair value pricing the Company's investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the AdviserValuation Designee undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by the Adviser,Valuation Designee, with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by the Company's boardBoard of directors (the “Board of Directors”) or as noted below, with respect to investments in an investment fund;Directors; and
The independent valuation firm(s) conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and
The Valuation Designee, under the supervision of the Board of Directors, determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and independent valuation firmfirms (to the extent applicable). and the Valuation Designee’s own analysis. The Valuation Designee also has established a valuation committee to assist the Valuation Designee in carrying out its designated responsibilities, subject to oversight of the Board of Directors.

(For an investment in thousands, exceptan investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Valuation Designee measures the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC 946, as of the Company's measurement date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sell such investment at a price equal to its net asset value per share and the Company may ultimately sell such investment at a discount to its net asset value per share amounts, percentagesshare.

For the period ended March 31, 2021
(Unaudited)
redemption notice periods which range from 30 to 90 days. Investments in private equity typically do not offer liquidity and instead, capital is returned through periodic distributions.
Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in its portfolio, the CompanyValuation Designee values substantially all of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors, as described herein. 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 fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

Investment Classification
The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “Control” is defined as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. In addition, in accordance with Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act, any person who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of a company and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company shall be presumed to control such company. AnyTypically, any person who does not so own more than 25% of the voting securities of any company shall be presumed not to control such company. Any person who does not so own more than 25% of theoutstanding voting securities of any company and/or does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company shall be presumed not to control such company. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Affiliated Investments” are defined as those investments in companies in which the Company owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Non-affiliated Investments” are defined as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliated Investments.
Cash, and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and short-term, liquid investments in a money market deposit account. Restricted cash is collected and held by the trustee who has been appointed as custodian of the assets securing certain of the Company's financing transactions. Restricted cash is held by the trustees for payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings or reinvestment into new assets. Cash, and cash equivalents and restricted cash are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
Organization and Offering Costs
Organization costs consist of costs incurred to establish the Company and enable it legally to do business. Organization costs are expensed as incurred. Offering costs consist of costs incurred in connection with the offering of common shares of the Company. Offering costs are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the commencement of operations.

The Company will bear the organization and offering expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the offering of shares of its Common Stock, including the out-of-pocket expenses of the Adviser and its agents and affiliates. In addition, the Company will reimburse the Adviser for the organization and offering costs it incurs on the Company’s behalf. If actual organization and offering costs incurred exceed the greater of $1 million or 0.10% of the Company’s total capital commitments, the Adviser or its affiliate will bear the excess costs. To the extent the Company’s capital commitments later increase, the Adviser or its affiliates may be reimbursed for past payments of excess organization and offering costs made on the Company’s behalf provided that the total organization and offering costs borne by the Company do not exceed 0.10% of total capital commitments and provided further that the Adviser or its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization and offering expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to the proposed reimbursement. For the three months ended March 31, 2021,2024 and 2023, respectively, there have beenwere no reimbursements from the Adviser.

In connection with the Company’s private placement of shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company incurred various offering costs. These costs are capitalized as a deferred cost and included within redeemable convertible preferred stock Series A on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as the preferred shares are issued. The costs are not subject to reimbursement from the Adviser.
Deferred Financing Costs
Financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s unsecured notes and revolving credit facilities are capitalized and amortized into expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective yield method over the life of the respective facility. See Note 5 - Borrowings.Borrowings.

Convertible Preferred Stock
We record shares of convertible preferred stock based on proceeds received net of offering costs on the date of issuance. Redeemable preferred stock (including preferred stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity and is reported separately from liabilities and net assets attributable to common stock within the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.
Distributions
The Company’s Board of Directors authorizes and declares cash distributions payable on a quarterly basis to stockholders of record on each record date. The amount of each such distribution is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. The Company calculates each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the quarter using record and declaration dates. From time to time, the Company may also pay interim distributions, including capital gains distributions, at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s distributions may exceed earnings, especially during the period before it has substantially invested the proceeds from the offering. As a result, a portion of the distributions made by the Company may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is a return of each stockholder’s investment rather than earnings or gains derived from the Company’s investment activities.
The Company may fund cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including advances from the Adviser that are subject to reimbursement, as well as offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. SeeNote 14 - Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders for additional information.

Revenue Recognition
Interest Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments.
The Company has a number of investments in Collateralized Securities. Interest income from investments in the “equity” class of these Collateralized Securities (in the Company's case, preferred shares or 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 ("ASC 325-40"). The Company monitors the expected cash inflows from its equity investments in Collateralized Securities, including the expected principal repayments. The effective yield is determined and updated quarterly. When the Company determines that a CLO's cash flows will not be recovered, the amortized cost basis of the CLO is written down as of the date of the determination based on events and information evaluated and that write-down is recognized as a realized loss.
Dividend Income
Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts arepayable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.
Dividend income from SLF is recorded on accrual basis once dividends are declared by SLF's board of directors. Distributions from SLF are evaluated at the time of distribution to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profit in SLF prior to distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

(Unaudited)
Fee Income
Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment, termination, and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as income when earned, either upon receipt or amortized into income. Upon the re-payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and other upfront fees are recorded as income.
Payment-in-Kind Interest/Dividends
The Company holdsmay hold debt and equity investments in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and dividend provisions. The PIK interest and PIK dividends, which represent contractually deferred interest or dividends that add to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, are recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected.
Non-accrualNon-Accrual Income
Investments may be placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest, which may include un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current.
Net Realized Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
Gain or loss on the sale of investments is calculated using the specific identification method. The Company measures realized gain or loss 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 will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when a gain or loss is realized.
Income Taxes
The Company intends to electhas elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes in respect of each taxable year if it distributes dividends for federal income tax purposes to stockholders of an amount generally equal to at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income,”income”, as defined in the Code, and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to twelve months after the previous tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year in determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its ability to be subject to be taxed as a RIC each year. The Company may be subject to federal excise tax imposed at a rate of 4% on certain undistributed amounts.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Company did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s fair value measurements are classified into a fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, if any, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter.
For investments for which Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices,were not available at March 31, 2021,2024 and December 31, 2023, the investments were valued at fair value as determined in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board of Directors using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company's investments are trading, in determining fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the estimate of fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio at March 31, 20212024 and December 31, 2023 may differ materially from values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.
In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the valuation policy approved by the Board of Directors. Portfolio investments are reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis the Company performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as described below.
Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, the Company uses the quote obtained.

Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the CompanyValuation Designee may take into account in fair value pricing the Company's investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the

nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.
For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Valuation Designee measures the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC Topic 946, as of the Company's measurement date.
For investments in Collateralized Securities, the Valuation Designee models both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure. The model uses a waterfall engine to store the collateral data, generate cash flows from the assets, and distribute the cash flows to the liability structure based on the contractual priority of payments. The cash flows are discounted using rates that incorporate risk factors such as default risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk, among others. In addition, the Valuation Designee considers broker quotations and/or comparable trade activity, which are considered as inputs to determining fair value when available.
As part of the Company's quarterly valuation process, the AdviserValuation Designee may be assisted by one or more independent valuation firms engaged byfirms. The Valuation Designee under the Company. Thesupervision of the Board of Directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and the independent valuation firm(s) (to the extent applicable).

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

There were no significant changes in valuation approach or technique as of December 31, 2023.
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category include investments in privately held entities where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.
Increases or decreases in any of the above unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement for such assets.
The income and market approaches were used in the determination of fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of March 31, 2021.2024 and December 31, 2023. The significant unobservable inputs used in the income approach are the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. An increase in the discount rate or market yield would result in a decrease in the fair value. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates is risk of default, rating of the investment, call provisions and comparable company investments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the market approach are based on market comparable transactions and market multiples of publicly traded comparable companies. Increases or decreases in market comparable transactions or market multiples would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

comparable transactions and market multiples of publicly traded comparable companies. Increases or decreases in market comparable transactions or market multiples would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value.
Valuations of loans, corporate debt, and other debt obligations are generally based on discounted cash flow techniques, for which the significant inputs are the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, market yields and recovery assumptions. The significant inputs are generally determined based on relative value analysis, which incorporate comparisons to other debt instruments for which observable prices or broker quotes are available. Other valuation methodologies are used as appropriate including market comparables, transactions in similar instruments and recovery/liquidation analysis. The Company also considers the use of EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples, tangible net asset value multiples, TBV multiples, and other relevant multiples on its debt and equity investments to determine any credit gains or losses in certain instances. Increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the respective subject instrument.
As of March 31, 2021,2024 the Company had nosix portfolio companies on non-accrual with a total amortized cost of $45.7 million and fair value of $35.6 million, which represented 1.3% and 1.0% of the investment portfolio's total amortized cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company hadno portfolio companies on non-accrual status. The increase of portfolio companies on non-accrual status was partially a result of the Mergers; whereby, the Company acquired FBLC’s assets, including its non-accrual assets. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - for additional details regarding the Company’s non-accrual policy.
FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC

On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, the Company became party to the joint venture formed on January 20, 2021, between FBLC and Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (“CCLF”), FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC (“SLF”). SLF invests primarily in senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent may invest in mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. SLF was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is not consolidated by the Company for financial reporting purposes. The Company provides capital to SLF in the form of LLC equity interests. At formation, FBLC and CCLF owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. As of March 31, 2024, the Company and CCLF owned 79.9% and 20.1%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. Profit and loss are allocated based on each members' ownership percentage of the joint venture's net asset value. SLF has an Administrative and Loan Services Agreement with BSP, an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to which BSP provides certain operational and valuation services for SLF's investments; as well as certain agreements with third-party service providers. The Company and CCLF each appoint two members to SLF's four-person board of members. All material decisions with respect to SLF, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of members. Quorum is defined as (i) the presence of two members of the board of members; provided that at least one individual is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each member; (ii) the presence of three members of the board of members; provided that the individual that was elected, designated or appointed by the member with only one individual present shall be entitled to cast two votes on each matter; and (iii) the presence of four members of the board of members; provided that two individuals are present that were elected, designated or appointed by each member.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s investment in SLF consisted of equity contributions of $304.9 million. The Company’s investment in SLF is classified as “Equity/Other” on the consolidated schedules of investments, and other disclosures unless otherwise indicated.

Incentive Fee
The Company will also pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee consisting of two parts, which are described below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Adviser will waivewaived all Incentive Fees for the first twelve calendar quartersperiod from January 7, 2021 (commencement of operations of the Company.operations) to December 31, 2023.
The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part is referred to as the “incentive fee on income” and it is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter.
“Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, other than fees for providing managerial assistance, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (as defined below) and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount debt instruments with payment-in-kind (“PIK”)PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. For purposes of computing the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, the calculation methodology will look through total return swaps as if the Company owned the referenced assets directly.
For periods ending on or priorPrior to the date ofMergers, under the closing of a Liquidity Event,Investment Advisory Agreement, the incentive fee on income with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income will befor each quarter was calculated as follows:


No incentive fee on income in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the preferred return rate of 1.50%, or 6.00% annualized (the “Preferred Return”), on net assets;
100% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Preferred Return but is less than or equal to 1.765% in any calendar quarter (7.06% annualized). This portion of the incentive fee on income is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 15% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 1.765% (7.06% annualized) in any calendar quarter; and
For any quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 1.765% (7.06% annualized), the incentive fee on income equals 15% of the amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as the Preferred Return and catch-up will have been achieved.
ForPrior to the Mergers, for any period ending after the closing of a Liquidity Event,liquidity event, the incentive fee on income for each quarter will bewas calculated as follows:


No incentive fee on income in any calendar quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Preferred Return of 1.50%, or 6.00% annualized, on net assets;
100% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Preferred Return but is less than or equal to 1.8175% in any calendar quarter (7.27% annualized), which portion of the incentive fee on income is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 17.5% on all of Pre- IncentivePre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 1.8175% (7.27% annualized) in any calendar quarter; and
For any quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 1.8175% (7.27% annualized), the incentive fee on income equals 17.5% of the amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as the Preferred Return and catch-up will have been achieved.

Under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, effective upon the closing of the Mergers on January 24, 2024, the incentive fee on income increased to a catch-up of 1.8175% (7.27% annualized) and 17.5% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the catch-up, with the preferred return to investors each quarter remaining the same as under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any amortization or accretion to interest income resulting solely from merger-related accounting adjustments in connection with the assets acquired in the Mergers.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021,2024, the Company did not incurincurred $8.7 million in incentive fees on income during operationsunder the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred $1.8 million in incentive fees on income under the Investment Advisory Agreement.Agreement, none of which was payable to the Adviser.
The second part of the incentive fee, referred to as the “incentive fee on capital gains during operations,” is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on cumulative realized capital gains of the Company net of cumulative realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, if earlier). Prior to the Mergers, and prior to a Liquidity Event,liquidity event, this fee equalsequaled 15% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals realized capital gains of the Company on a cumulative basis from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a business development company,BDC, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains during operations. Following a Liquidity Event,liquidity event, the incentive fee on capital gains during operations equals 17.5% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains calculated as described above, on a cumulative basis from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a business development company. BDC.
Under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, effective upon the closing of the Mergers on January 24, 2024, the incentive fee on capital gains increased to 17.5% of our incentive fee capital gains calculated as under the Investment Advisory Agreement for periods ending after the date of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, on a cumulative basis from the date of our election to be regulated as a BDC. In addition, the calculation of realized capital gains, realized capital losses and unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation does not include any such amounts resulting solely from merger-related accounting adjustments in connection with the assets acquired in the Mergers.

U.S. GAAP requires that the incentive fee accrual be calculated assuming a hypothetical liquidation of the Company based upon investments held at the end of each period. In such a calculation, in order to calculate the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee in accordance with U.S. GAAP for a given period, the Company includes unrealized appreciation in calculating the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee even though such unrealized appreciation is not included in in calculating the capital gains incentive fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. There can be no assurance that such unrealized appreciation will be realized in the future. Accordingly, the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee, as calculated and accrued in accordance with U.S. GAAP, does not necessarily represent amounts that will be payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021,2024 and 2023, the Company did not incuraccrued $0 and $0, respectively, in incentive fees on capital gains during operations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Short-term Borrowings

From time to time, the Company finances the purchase of certain investments through repurchase agreements. In the repurchase agreements, the Company enters into a trade to sell an investment and contemporaneously enter into a trade to buy the same investment back on a specified date in the future with the same counterparty. Investments sold under repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized borrowings as the sale of the investment does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860—Transfers and Servicing and remains as an investment on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company uses repurchase agreements as a short-term financing alternative. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had short-term borrowings outstanding of $0.0 and $0.0, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded interest expense of$0.0and$0.5 million, respectively, in connection with short-term borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not have short term borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had an average outstanding balance of short-term borrowings of $23.4 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 0.02%.
Secured Borrowings

On August 21, 2023, the Company entered into a total return swap (“TRS”) with Nomura. A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. The Company pays interest to Nomura for each loan at a rate equal to three-month SOFR plus 3.60% per annum. Upon the termination or repayment of any loan under the TRS, the Company will either receive from Nomura the appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Nomura any depreciation in the value of such loan. The scheduled termination date for the TRS is February 17, 2025. The Company may terminate the TRS prior to February 17, 2025 upon the occurrence of certain events but in certain circumstances may be required to pay certain termination fees.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all total return swaps on the Nomura TRS were entered into contemporaneously with the Company’s sale of their reference assets. Due to the Company’s continuing involvement in these assets, these assets are not derecognized under ASC Topic 860 -- Transfers and Servicing, and are presented on the consolidated schedule of investments. Financing amounts related to these assets are presented as secured borrowings on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Any margin paid to the counterparty under the terms of the TRS agreement is included in the “Due from broker” on the Company’s consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

The TRS is subject to the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies. The rule requires that the Company trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations subject to a value-at-risk leverage limit and certain derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. Generally, these requirements apply unless the Company qualifies as a “limited derivatives user,” as defined in the rule, in which case certain exceptions to these conditions would apply. The Company may qualify as a limited derivatives user if it adopts and implements written policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Company's derivatives risk and the Company's derivatives exposure does not exceed 10 percent of the Company's net assets as calculated in accordance with the rule.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had secured borrowings outstanding of $30.8 million and $33.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company recorded interest expense of $0.5 million in connection with secured borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had an average outstanding balance of secured borrowings of $32.4 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 6.67%.

On the same day, the Company entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Preferred Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors, pursuant to which the investors made new capital commitments (the “Preferred Capital Commitments”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has received total Preferred Capital Commitments of $77.5 million. Pursuant to their respective Preferred Subscription Agreements, each investor is required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of the Series A Preferred Stock up to the amount of their respective capital commitments on an as-needed basis, upon a minimum of 10 business days prior notice at a per-share price equal to the liquidation preference (the “Liquidation Preference”). The sale and issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder. The Company shall rely, in part, upon representations from the Investors in the relevant Preferred Subscription Agreements that each Investor is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.

Any repurchases of shares made in connection with a stockholder’s death or disability may be included within the overall limitation imposed on tender offers during the relevant redemption period, which provides that the Company may limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any redemption period to the number of shares of common stock the Company is able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during such redemption period.

Note 12 - Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which considers participating securities as a separate class of shares. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for common stock according to dividends distributed and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s participating securities consist of its Series A Preferred Stock. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders, adjusted to exclude earnings allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net decreaseincrease in net assets per share resulting from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021.2024 and 2023.

Note 1214 — Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders
The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it meets, certain quarterly asset diversification requirements, annual income tests, and distributes to stockholders its ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, each taxable year. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to one year after the previous tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its RIC status each year. The Company may also be subject to federal excise taxes of 4%.
A RIC is limited in its ability to deduct expenses in excess of its “investment company taxable income” (which is, generally, ordinary income plus net realized short-term capital gains in excess of net realized long-term capital losses). If the Company's expenses in a given taxable year exceed gross taxable income (e.g., as the result of large amounts of equity-based compensation), it would incur a net operating loss for that year. However, a RIC is not permitted to carry forward net operating losses to subsequent taxable years and such net operating losses do not pass through to the RIC’s stockholders. In addition, deductible expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain. A RIC may not use any net capital losses (that is, realized capital losses in excess of realized capital gains) to offset the RIC’s investment company taxable income, but may carry forward such net capital losses, and use them to offset capital gains indefinitely. Due to these limits on the deductibility of expenses and net capital losses, the Company may for tax purposes have aggregate taxable income for several taxable years that it is required to distribute and that is taxable to stockholders even if such taxable income is greater than the aggregate net income the Company actually earned during those taxable years. Such required distributions may be made from the Company cash assets or by liquidation of investments, if necessary. The Company may realize gains or losses from such liquidations. In the event the Company realizes net capital gains from such transactions, the Company may make a larger capital gain distribution than it would have made in the absence of such transactions.
Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, for excise tax purposes the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and incur a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.

The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”), nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company’s current tax year, 2023, 2022, and 2021 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are expected to have net operating losses and unrealized gains. As a result, the Company has deferred tax assets of $16.9 million and deferred tax liabilities of $(30.8) million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has concluded future reversal of existing temporary differences is sufficient to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not necessary as of March 31, 2024. As a result, no valuation allowance was recorded for the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s domestic subsidiary had a net operating loss and unrealized gain. As a result, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $6.0 million and a deferred tax liability of $(7.6) million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The future realization of the tax benefits of existing deductible temporary differences or carryforwards ultimately depend on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the carryback (if permitted under the tax law) and carryforward periods. The Company has concluded future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences is sufficient to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not necessary as of December 31, 2023. As a result, no valuation allowance was recorded for the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023.

The deferred tax asset valuation allowance, if applicable, has been determined pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, including the Company's estimation of future taxable income, if necessary, and is adequate to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

Note 1317 - Merger with FBLC

On January 24, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of FBLC. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was first merged with and into FBLC, with FBLC continuing as the surviving company, and, immediately following the Merger, FBLC was then merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, each outstanding share of FBLC's common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.4647 shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of the Mergers, the Company issued an aggregate of 110.0 million shares of its common stock to FBLC stockholders.

    The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition of FBLC by the Company in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the fair value of total consideration paid, including transaction costs, in conjunction with the Mergers allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of the Mergers. Generally, under asset acquisition accounting, acquiring assets in groups not only requires ascertaining the cost of the asset (or net assets), but also allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. The cost of the group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values of net identifiable assets acquired other than certain “non-qualifying” assets (for example cash) and does not give rise to goodwill. As a result, the purchase price premium was allocated to the cost basis of the FBLC investments acquired by the Company on a pro-rata basis based on their relative fair values as of the effective time of the Merger. The Company will be the accounting survivor of the Mergers. The purchase premium allocated to the debt investments acquired will amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to equity investments acquired will not amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired. The Merger constitutes an integrated plan of the type contemplated in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 2001-46 and will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The Company has carried forward the historical cost basis of FBLC investments for tax purposes. As a result of the Merger, the Company is subject to an annual limit on its use of some of its unrealized capital losses to offset capital gains in future periods. If those losses are realized and the limitation prevents the Company from using any of those losses in a future period, those capital losses will be available to offset capital gains in subsequent periods. Additionally, net operating losses of one of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries is subject to an annual limitation. Losses subject to limitation will be available in subsequent periods.

Portfolio Asset Quality
Our Adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Adviser grades the credit risk of all debt investments on a scale of 1 to 5 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio debt investment relative to the inherent risk at the time the original debt investment was made (i.e., at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company's business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors.

3Performing debt investment requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration.
4Underperforming debt investment. Some loss of interest or dividend expected, but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative.

The weighted average risk rating of our investments based on fair value was 2.0 as2.3 and 2.3 as of March 31, 2021.2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the Company2024 we had nosix portfolio companies on non-accrual with a total amortized cost of $45.7 million and fair value of $35.6 million, which represented 1.3% and 1.0% of the investment portfolio's total amortized cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had no portfolio companies on non-accrual status. The increase of portfolio companies on non-accrual status was partially a result of the Mergers; whereby, we acquired FBLC’s assets, including its non-accrual assets. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - for additional details regarding the Company’sour non-accrual policy.
FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC
On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we became party to the joint venture formed on January 20, 2021, between FBLC and Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (“CCLF”), FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC (“SLF”). SLF invests primarily in senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent may invest in mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. SLF was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is not consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. We provide capital to SLF in the form of LLC equity interests. At formation, FBLC and CCLF owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. As of March 31, 2024, we and CCLF owned 79.9% and 20.1%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. Profit and loss are allocated based on each members' ownership percentage of the joint venture's net asset value. SLF has an Administrative and Loan Services Agreement with BSP, our affiliate, pursuant to which BSP provides certain operational and valuation services for SLF's investments; as well as certain agreements with third-party service providers. We and CCLF each appoint two members to SLF's four-person board of members. All material decisions with respect to SLF, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of members. Quorum is defined as (i) the presence of two members of the board of members; provided that at least one individual is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each member; (ii) the presence of three members of the board of members; provided that the individual that was elected, designated or appointed by the member with only one individual present shall be entitled to cast two votes on each matter; and (iii) the presence of four members of the board of members; provided that two individuals are present that were elected, designated or appointed by each member.
As of March 31, 2024, our investment in SLF consisted of equity contributions of $304.9 million. Our investment in SLF is classified as “Equity/Other” on the consolidated schedules of investments, and other disclosures unless otherwise indicated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Investments
Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment, the amount of capital we have available to us and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make.
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with EBITDA of between $25 million and $100 million annually, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions, which refers to acquisitions from secondary market participants rather than from the portfolio company directly.
As a BDC, we are generally required to invest at least 70% of our total assets primarily in securities of private and certain U.S. public companies (other than certain financial institutions), cash, cash equivalents and U.S. government securities and other limited float high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.

Revenues
We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments we hold, and to a lesser extent, capital gains and distributions, if any, on equity securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK income.
In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of fee income such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment, termination, and other upfront fees.

The increase in management fees from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 was driven by an increase in our asset base due to the Mergers with FBLC. Total assets increasedfrom $831.7 million as of December 31, 2023 to $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2024.

Incentive Fees

Interest and debt fees

Interest and debt fees increased from $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The average daily debt outstanding for facility borrowings and unsecured notes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $380.5 million compared to $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded unrealized appreciation of $8.3 million on 60 portfolio company investments, which was offset by $32.8 million of unrealized depreciation on 226 portfolio company investments. The unrealized appreciation primarily resulted from improved performance of certain portfolio companies and the reversal of unrealized depreciation.

Supplemental Information
On January 24, 2024, we completed our previously announced acquisition of FBLC. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was first merged with and business curtailmentsinto FBLC, with FBLC continuing as the surviving company, and, others. The emergenceimmediately following the Merger, FBLC was then merged with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving company. In accordance with the terms of COVID-19 has created economic and financial disruptions that may affect, our business, financial condition, liquidity, and certainthe Merger Agreement, at the effective time, each outstanding share of FBLC's common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.4647 shares of our portfolio companies' results of operations and liquidity. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and certain of our portfolio companies’ results of operations and liquidity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 exigency and the fiscal and monetary response designed to mitigate strain to businesses and the economy, the operating environment of certain of our portfolio companies is evolving rapidly. We have been in frequent communication with management, as well as the private equity sponsors, of our portfolio companies in order to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their particular businesses and assess their ability to meet their obligations.common stock. As a result of the business disruptions affecting certainMergers, we issued an aggregate of 110.0 million shares of our portfolio companies, we maycommon stock to FBLC stockholders.
The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition of FBLC by us in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the fair value of total consideration paid, including transaction costs, in conjunction with the Mergers allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of the Mergers. The consideration paid to FBLC stockholders was more than the aggregate fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which resulted in a purchase price premium. The purchase premium was allocated to the cost basis of the FBLC investments acquired by the Company on a pro-rata basis based on their relative fair values as of the effective time of the Merger. The purchase premium allocated to the debt investments acquired will amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to equity investments acquired will not amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired. Any adjustments to the cost basis of the acquired FBLC investments derived from the accounting treatment of the Mergers will be required to adjustexcluded from the future amount of distributionsincentive fee calculation.
As a supplement to our stockholders.financial results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), we have provided, as detailed below, certain non-GAAP financial measures to our operating results that exclude the aforementioned purchase premium and the ongoing amortization thereof, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures include (i) adjusted net investment income after taxes; and (ii) adjusted net realized and unrealized gains (losses). We continuebelieve that the adjustment to closely monitorexclude the full effect of the purchase premium is meaningful because it is a measure that we and investors use to assess our investment portfolio in orderfinancial condition and results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of the purchase of shares of our common stock from drawdowns on our investors’ capital commitments, cash flows from interest and fees earned from our investments and principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. We also fund a portion of our investments through borrowings from banks. Our primary use of cash will be investments in portfolio companies, payments of our expenses and payment of cash distributions to our stockholders.

As of March 31, 2021, we are partyMS Subscription Facility. Subsequent to the First Amendment, the MS CreditSubscription Facility as describedbears interest at a rate of: (i) with respect to Term SOFR Loans, Term SOFR with a one-month Interest Period plus 2.10% per annum and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in more detaileffect on such day plus 100 basis points (1.00%) per annum, (b) the federal funds rate in Note 5 - Borrowings.

We expect to have sufficient liquidity for our investing activities and to conduct our operations in the near term.

Taxation as a RIC
We intend to elect to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that we distribute as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to our stockholders. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, in order to maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each tax year, an amount equal to at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gain over realized net long-term capital loss and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, or the annual distribution requirement. Even if we qualify as a RIC, we generallyCompany will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxan unused commitment fee of 0.30%.

Additionally, in order to avoid the imposition of a U.S. federal excise tax, we are required to distribute, in respect of each calendar year, dividends to our stockholders of an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of our calendar year net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections); 98.2% of our capital gain net income (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the one year period ending on December 31 of such calendar year; and any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding calendar years that were not distributed during such calendar years and on which we previously did not incur any U.S. federal income tax. If we fail to qualify as a RIC for any reason and become subject to corporate tax, the resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions. Such a failure would have a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders. In addition, we could be required to recognize unrealized gains, incur substantial taxes and interest and make substantial distributions in order to re-qualify as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions.

Co-Investment Relief
The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from entering into negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC. The SEC has granted exemptive relief to affiliates of the Adviser that allows us to enter into certain negotiated co-investment transactions alongside other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates (“Affiliated Funds”) in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions (the “Order”).

Borrowings
We are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, which, as defined in the 1940 Act, measures the ratio of total assets less total liabilities not represented by senior securities to total borrowings, equals at least 150% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. We are continually exploring forms of debt financing which could include new or expanded credit facilities or the issuance of debt securities. We may use borrowed funds, known as “leverage,” to make investments and to attempt to increase returns to our stockholders by reducing our overall cost of capital. We currently have credit facilities with Morgan Stanley.

2024 Notes

On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, the Company became party to a Purchase Agreement (the “2024 Notes Purchase Agreement”) with Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P (the “Initial Purchaser”) relating to the sale of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.85% fixed rate notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) to the Initial Purchaser in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and for initial resale by the Initial Purchaser to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and to institutional accredited investors under Rule 501 (a)(1), (2), (3), or (7) under the Securities Act. The Company relied upon these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the Initial Purchaser. The 2024 Notes Purchase Agreement also includes customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company. Under the terms of the 2024 Notes Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchaser against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The 2024 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2024 Notes were approximately $98.4 million, after deducting the Initial Purchaser’s discounts and commissions of approximately $1.2 million and estimated offering expenses of approximately $0.4 million, each payable by the Company. The Company used the net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness, to make investments in portfolio companies in accordance with its investment objectives, and for general corporate purposes. The 2024 Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of December 19, 2017 (the “2017 Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, and a Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 5, 2019, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association.

The 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.85% per year payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2020. The 2024 Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior liabilities that are not so subordinated, effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such

These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the 2017 Indenture. In addition, if a change of control repurchase event, as defined in the 2017 Indenture, occurs prior to maturity, holders of the 2024 Notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash some or all of the 2024 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

Short-term Borrowings

From time to time, the Company finances the purchase of certain investments through repurchase agreements. In the repurchase agreements, the Company enters into a trade to sell an investment and contemporaneously enter into a trade to buy the same investment back on a specified date in the future with the same counterparty. Investments sold under repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized borrowings as the sale of the investment does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860—Transfers and Servicing and remains as an investment on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company uses repurchase agreements as a short-term financing alternative. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had short-term borrowings outstanding of $0.0 and $0.0, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded interest expense of$0.0and$0.5 million, respectively, in connection with short-term borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not have short term borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had an average outstanding balance of short-term borrowings of $23.4 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 0.02%.
Secured Borrowings

On August 21, 2023, the Company entered into a total return swap (“TRS”) with Nomura. A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. The Company pays interest to Nomura for each loan at a rate equal to three-month SOFR plus 3.60% per annum. Upon the termination or repayment of any loan under the TRS, the Company will either receive from Nomura the appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Nomura any depreciation in the value of such loan. The scheduled termination date for the TRS is February 17, 2025. The Company may terminate the TRS prior to February 17, 2025 upon the occurrence of certain events but in certain circumstances may be required to pay certain termination fees.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all total return swaps on the Nomura TRS were entered into contemporaneously with the Company’s sale of their reference assets. Due to the Company’s continuing involvement in these assets, these assets are not derecognized under ASC Topic 860 -- Transfers and Servicing, and are presented on the consolidated schedule of investments. Financing amounts related to these assets are presented as secured borrowings on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Any margin paid to the counterparty under the terms of the TRS agreement is included in the “Due from broker” on the Company’s consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

The TRS is subject to the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies. The rule requires that the Company trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations subject to a value-at-risk leverage limit and certain derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. Generally, these requirements apply unless the Company qualifies as a “limited derivatives user,” as defined in the rule, in which case certain exceptions to these conditions would apply. The Company may qualify as a limited derivatives user if it adopts and implements written policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Company's derivatives risk and the Company's derivatives exposure does not exceed 10 percent of the Company's net assets as calculated in accordance with the rule.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had secured borrowings outstanding of $30.8 million and $33.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company recorded interest expense of $0.5 million in connection with secured borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had an average outstanding balance of secured borrowings of $32.4 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 6.67%.

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) pursuant to which all cash dividends or distributions (“Distributions”) declared by the Board of Directors are reinvested on behalf of investors who do not elect to receive their Distributions in cash (the “Participants”). As a result, if the Board of Directors declares a Distribution, then stockholders who have not elected to “opt out” of the DRIP will have their Distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price equal to net asset value (“NAV”) per share as estimated in good faith by the Company on the payment date. The timing and amount of Distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.

Note 10 – Preferred Stock
On August 25, 2021, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock, which designates a total of 50.0 million shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. On the same day, the Company entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Preferred Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors, pursuant to which the investors made new capital commitments (the “Preferred Capital Commitments”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has received total Preferred Capital Commitments of $77.5 million. Pursuant to their respective Preferred Subscription Agreements, each investor is required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of the Series A Preferred Stock up to the amount of their respective capital commitments on an as-needed basis, upon a minimum of 10 business days prior notice at a per-share price equal to the liquidation preference (the “Liquidation Preference”). The sale and issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder. The Company shall rely, in part, upon representations from the Investors in the relevant Preferred Subscription Agreements that each Investor is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
As of March 31, 2024, there were 50.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized, par value $0.001 per share, of which 77,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2023, there were 50.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized, par value $0.001 per share, of which 77,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. No shares outstanding of Series A Preferred Stock are redeemable before December 31, 2026.
Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a Liquidation Preference of $1,000.00 per share plus all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon. With respect to distributions, including the payment of dividends and distribution of the Company’s assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series A Preferred Stock will be senior to shares of Common Stock, will rank on parity with any other class or series of preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its certificate of incorporation, whether such class or series is now existing or is created in the future, to the extent of the aggregate Liquidation Preference, which amount includes all accrued but unpaid dividends and will be subordinate to the rights of holders of our senior indebtedness.

Dividends are payable on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock quarterly in arrears at a rate equal to (1) for each fiscal quarter ending on or before September 30, 2022 (the “Initial Dividend Period”), the dividends that would have been paid in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock if it had been converted into a share of the Company’s Common Stock, on the first day of such quarter (or the date of issuance in the case of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued after the first day of such quarter) at the applicable Conversion Rate (as defined below) and (2) for each quarter after the Initial Dividend Period, the greater of (i) an amount equal to $10.00 per share, subject to proration if such share is not outstanding for the full quarter, and (ii) the dividends that would have been paid in respect of such share of Series A Preferred Stock if it had been converted into a share of Common Stock on the first day of such quarter (or the date of issuance in the case of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued after the first day of such quarter) at the applicable Conversion Rate.
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible (a) by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time commencing on the closing date of a liquidity event, as defined by the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of Franklin BSP Capital Corporation, dated September 2020, or (b) by the holders thereof at any time commencing six months following the closing date of a liquidity event, in each case, into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (1) the Liquidation Preference divided by (2) the price paid by investors for shares of Common Stock at the time of the purchase of such share of Series A Preferred Stock or if the purchase of such share of Series A Preferred Stock did not occur concurrent with a sale of Common Stock by the Company at the net asset value per share of Common Stock determined within 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) of the purchase of such share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Rate”). The Company has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at any time, and from time to time, on or after August 23, 2029 upon 90 days prior notice to holders of Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, a liquidity event had not commenced.
The holders of the Preferred Stock are generally entitled to vote with the holders of the shares of Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote to the common stockholders (voting together with the holders of shares of Common Stock as one class) on an as-converted basis, subject to certain limitations.

Note 11 - Share Repurchase Program

The Company intends to conduct annual tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program (“SRP”). The Company’s Board of Directors considers the following factors in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:

• the effect of such repurchases on the Company's qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);
• the liquidity of the Company's assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);
• the Company's investment plans and working capital requirements;

(Unaudited)
• the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company's size;
• the Company's history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof;
• the condition of the securities markets.
The Company intends to continue to limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year or (ii) the number of shares of common stock the Company is able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during the relevant redemption period. In addition, in the event of a stockholder’s death or disability, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accept up to the full amount tendered by such stockholder of the current net asset value per share. Any repurchases of shares made in connection with a stockholder’s death or disability may be included within the overall limitation imposed on tender offers during the relevant redemption period, which provides that the Company may limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any redemption period to the number of shares of common stock the Company is able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during such redemption period.

Note 12 - Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which considers participating securities as a separate class of shares. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for common stock according to dividends distributed and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s participating securities consist of its Series A Preferred Stock. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders, adjusted to exclude earnings allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase in net assets per share resulting from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Note 14 — Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders
The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it meets, certain quarterly asset diversification requirements, annual income tests, and distributes to stockholders its ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, each taxable year. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to one year after the previous tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its RIC status each year. The Company may also be subject to federal excise taxes of 4%.
A RIC is limited in its ability to deduct expenses in excess of its “investment company taxable income” (which is, generally, ordinary income plus net realized short-term capital gains in excess of net realized long-term capital losses). If the Company's expenses in a given taxable year exceed gross taxable income (e.g., as the result of large amounts of equity-based compensation), it would incur a net operating loss for that year. However, a RIC is not permitted to carry forward net operating losses to subsequent taxable years and such net operating losses do not pass through to the RIC’s stockholders. In addition, deductible expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain. A RIC may not use any net capital losses (that is, realized capital losses in excess of realized capital gains) to offset the RIC’s investment company taxable income, but may carry forward such net capital losses, and use them to offset capital gains indefinitely. Due to these limits on the deductibility of expenses and net capital losses, the Company may for tax purposes have aggregate taxable income for several taxable years that it is required to distribute and that is taxable to stockholders even if such taxable income is greater than the aggregate net income the Company actually earned during those taxable years. Such required distributions may be made from the Company cash assets or by liquidation of investments, if necessary. The Company may realize gains or losses from such liquidations. In the event the Company realizes net capital gains from such transactions, the Company may make a larger capital gain distribution than it would have made in the absence of such transactions.
Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, for excise tax purposes the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and incur a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.

The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”), nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company’s current tax year, 2023, 2022, and 2021 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are expected to have net operating losses and unrealized gains. As a result, the Company has deferred tax assets of $16.9 million and deferred tax liabilities of $(30.8) million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has concluded future reversal of existing temporary differences is sufficient to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not necessary as of March 31, 2024. As a result, no valuation allowance was recorded for the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s domestic subsidiary had a net operating loss and unrealized gain. As a result, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $6.0 million and a deferred tax liability of $(7.6) million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The future realization of the tax benefits of existing deductible temporary differences or carryforwards ultimately depend on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the carryback (if permitted under the tax law) and carryforward periods. The Company has concluded future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences is sufficient to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not necessary as of December 31, 2023. As a result, no valuation allowance was recorded for the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023.

The deferred tax asset valuation allowance, if applicable, has been determined pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, including the Company's estimation of future taxable income, if necessary, and is adequate to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

Note 17 - Merger with FBLC

On January 24, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of FBLC. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was first merged with and into FBLC, with FBLC continuing as the surviving company, and, immediately following the Merger, FBLC was then merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, each outstanding share of FBLC's common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.4647 shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of the Mergers, the Company issued an aggregate of 110.0 million shares of its common stock to FBLC stockholders.

    The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition of FBLC by the Company in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the fair value of total consideration paid, including transaction costs, in conjunction with the Mergers allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of the Mergers. Generally, under asset acquisition accounting, acquiring assets in groups not only requires ascertaining the cost of the asset (or net assets), but also allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. The cost of the group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values of net identifiable assets acquired other than certain “non-qualifying” assets (for example cash) and does not give rise to goodwill. As a result, the purchase price premium was allocated to the cost basis of the FBLC investments acquired by the Company on a pro-rata basis based on their relative fair values as of the effective time of the Merger. The Company will be the accounting survivor of the Mergers. The purchase premium allocated to the debt investments acquired will amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized depreciation on such minimum utilization requirement.investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to equity investments acquired will not amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired. The Merger constitutes an integrated plan of the type contemplated in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 2001-46 and will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The Company has carried forward the historical cost basis of FBLC investments for tax purposes. As a result of the Merger, the Company is subject to an annual limit on its use of some of its unrealized capital losses to offset capital gains in future periods. If those losses are realized and the limitation prevents the Company from using any of those losses in a future period, those capital losses will be available to offset capital gains in subsequent periods. Additionally, net operating losses of one of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries is subject to an annual limitation. Losses subject to limitation will be available in subsequent periods.

We undertake no obligations to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC, and has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a RIC under the Code. We are managed by the Adviser. The Adviser is an affiliate of Benefit Street Partners. Our Adviser is a Delaware limited liability company that is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. Our Adviser oversees the management of our activities and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to our portfolio.
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We intend to invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with EBITDA of between $25 million and $100 million annually, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions. We expect that each investment generally will range between approximately 0.5% and 3.0% of our total assets. As of March 31, 2024, 79.5% of our portfolio was invested in senior secured loans.
Senior secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt and equity in priority of payments and are generally secured by liens on the operating assets of a borrower which may include inventory, receivables, plant, property and equipment. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior loans and is generally unsecured.
On December 18, 2020, we completed our Initial Closing of Capital Commitments to purchase shares of our Common Stock to investors in a private placement in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Since our Initial Closing, we held additional closings and received aggregate Capital Commitments to purchase Common Stock. As of March 31, 2024, investors had made aggregate Capital Commitments to purchase Common Stock of $375.5 million. At each closing of the private placement, each investor will make a Capital Commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Subscription Agreement entered into with us. Investors will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of Common Stock up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments on an as-needed basis each time we deliver a notice to the investors. Closings of the private placement of our Common Stock occurred, from time to time, during the Initial Closing Period which our Board of Directors extended such that it ended December 18, 2023. After the Initial Closing Period, we may permit one or more additional closings of the private placement of our Common Stock with the approval of our Board of Directors.

On August 25, 2021, we filed the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock. On the same day, we entered into the Preferred Subscription Agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which investors made new Preferred Capital Commitments to purchase shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2024, total Preferred Capital Commitments of Series A Preferred Stock were$77.5 million.

On January 24, 2024, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Franklin BSP Lending Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“FBLC”), Franklin BSP Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and our direct wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, the Adviser. In connection therewith, Merger Sub merged with and into FBLC (the “Merger”), with FBLC continuing as the surviving company and as our wholly-owned subsidiary, followed by FBLC merging with and into us (together with the Merger, the “Mergers”), and with us continuing as the surviving company. See Note 17 - Merger with FBLC for further information regarding the Mergers.

Portfolio Asset Quality
Our Adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Adviser grades the credit risk of all debt investments on a scale of 1 to 5 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio debt investment relative to the inherent risk at the time the original debt investment was made (i.e., at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company's business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors.
Loan RatingSummary Description
1Debt investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since the time of investment are favorable.
2Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable. All investments are initially rated a “2”.
3Performing debt investment requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration.
4Underperforming debt investment. Some loss of interest or dividend expected, but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative.
5Underperforming debt investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

86


The weighted average risk rating of our investments based on fair value was 2.3 and 2.3 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 we had six portfolio companies on non-accrual with a total amortized cost of $45.7 million and fair value of $35.6 million, which represented 1.3% and 1.0% of the investment portfolio's total amortized cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had no portfolio companies on non-accrual status. The increase of portfolio companies on non-accrual status was partially a result of the Mergers; whereby, we acquired FBLC’s assets, including its non-accrual assets. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional details regarding our non-accrual policy.
FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC
On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we became party to the joint venture formed on January 20, 2021, between FBLC and Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (“CCLF”), FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC (“SLF”). SLF invests primarily in senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent may invest in mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. SLF was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is not consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. We provide capital to SLF in the form of LLC equity interests. At formation, FBLC and CCLF owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. As of March 31, 2024, we and CCLF owned 79.9% and 20.1%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. Profit and loss are allocated based on each members' ownership percentage of the joint venture's net asset value. SLF has an Administrative and Loan Services Agreement with BSP, our affiliate, pursuant to which BSP provides certain operational and valuation services for SLF's investments; as well as certain agreements with third-party service providers. We and CCLF each appoint two members to SLF's four-person board of members. All material decisions with respect to SLF, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of members. Quorum is defined as (i) the presence of two members of the board of members; provided that at least one individual is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each member; (ii) the presence of three members of the board of members; provided that the individual that was elected, designated or appointed by the member with only one individual present shall be entitled to cast two votes on each matter; and (iii) the presence of four members of the board of members; provided that two individuals are present that were elected, designated or appointed by each member.
As of March 31, 2024, our investment in SLF consisted of equity contributions of $304.9 million. Our investment in SLF is classified as “Equity/Other” on the consolidated schedules of investments, and other disclosures unless otherwise indicated.
Below is a summary of SLF’s portfolio as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Investments
Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment, the amount of capital we have available to us and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make.
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with EBITDA of between $25 million and $100 million annually, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions, which refers to acquisitions from secondary market participants rather than from the portfolio company directly.
As a BDC, we are generally required to invest at least 70% of our total assets primarily in securities of private and certain U.S. public companies (other than certain financial institutions), cash, cash equivalents and U.S. government securities and other limited float high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.

Revenues
We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments we hold, and to a lesser extent, capital gains and distributions, if any, on equity securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK income.
In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of fee income such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment, termination, and other upfront fees. We do not expect to receive material fee income as it is not our principal investment strategy. Upon the re-payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and other upfront fees are recorded as income.

Expenses
We will bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including, but not limited to:
expenses incurred by the Adviser and payable to third parties, including agents, consultants and other advisors, in monitoring our financial and legal affairs, news and quotation subscriptions, and market or industry research expenses;
the cost of calculating our NAV; the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our Common Stock and other securities;
management and incentive fees payable pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement; fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants and other advisors, relating to, or associated with, making investments, and, if necessary, enforcing its rights, and valuing investments (including third-party valuation firms);
expenses related to consummated or unconsummated investments, including dead deal or broken deal expenses; rating agency expenses; fees to arrange our debt financings;
distributions on our shares; administration fees payable under the Administration Agreement;
the allocated costs incurred by our Administrator in providing managerial assistance to those portfolio companies that request it; transfer agent and custodial fees; fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts (including attendance at investment conferences and similar events); accounting, audit and tax preparation expenses;
federal and state registration fees; any exchange listing fees; federal, state, local, and other taxes;

direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, copying, telephone, fees of independent accountants and outside legal costs; and
all other expenses incurred by us or our Administrator in connection with administering our business, including, but not limited to, payments under the Administration Agreement based upon our allocable portion of our Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, travel and the allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs, including operations and tax professionals and administrative staff who provide support services in respect of us.
Our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023were as follows (dollars in thousands):
For the three months ended March 31,

Net investment income (loss)$49,737 $12,061 

Investment Income

Investment income increased from $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $96.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarilydriven by the Mergers with FBLC, which resulted in the acquisition of $2.8 billion of FBLC’s investments at fair value on January 24, 2024, as well as rising base rates on our variable rate portfolio, which represents 95.0% of our portfolio as of March 31, 2024. As a result of the Mergers, our investment portfolio at amortized cost increased to $3.5 billion as of March 31, 2024 from $769.0 million as of December 31, 2023. PIK income from investments also increased from $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Fee and other income, included within total investment income,decreased from $0.3 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $0.1 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an decrease in one-time fees earned on certain investments, including commitment, prepayment fees and accelerated amortization of upfront fees from unscheduled paydowns.

Management Fees

Management Fees increased from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $10.6 millionfor the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in management fees from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 was driven by an increase in our asset base due to the Mergers with FBLC. Total assets increasedfrom $831.7 million as of December 31, 2023 to $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2024.

Incentive Fees

Incentive Fees increased from $1.8 million (all of which were waived by the Adviser) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in incentive fees from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 was driven by an increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income due to the Mergers with FBLC.

Interest and debt fees

Interest and debt fees increased from $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarily driven by the Mergers with FBLC, which resulted in the acquisition of $1.2 billion of FBLC’s debt on January 24, 2024 as well as an increase in base interest rates of our variable rate debt. The average daily debt outstanding for facility borrowings and unsecured notes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $380.5 million compared to $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The weighted average annualized interest cost of the facility borrowings and unsecured notes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 8.54% and 7.43%, respectively.

Professional Fees and Other General and Administrative Expenses

Professional fees and other general and administrative expenses increased from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in professional fees and other general and administrative expenses from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in costs associated with servicing a larger investment portfolio due to the Mergers with FBLC.

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss)$(23,517)$(1,422)

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments

Realized gains or losses are measured using the specific identification method whereby we measure the gain or loss by the difference between the net proceeds from repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a net realized gain of $1.3 million. The net realized gain was primarily driven by one investment.In February 2024, we fully exited our second lien debt position of Mercury Merger Sub, Inc. which resulted in a realized gain of $0.5 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a net realized loss of $(0.2) million. The net realized loss was primarily driven by one investment. In March 2023, we fully exited our first lien debt position of Acrisure, LLC which resulted in a realized loss of $(0.1) million.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments

Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded unrealized appreciation of $8.3 million on 60 portfolio company investments, which was offset by $32.8 million of unrealized depreciation on 226 portfolio company investments. The unrealized appreciation primarily resulted from improved performance of certain portfolio companies and the reversal of unrealized depreciation. The unrealized depreciation was primarily due to isolated deterioration in the credit performance of a small number of portfolio companies. The overall net unrealized depreciation on our portfolio was primarily driven by deterioration in the credit performance of a small number of portfolio companies.


92


For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded unrealized appreciation of $1.7 million on 32 portfolio company investments which was offset by $2.4 million of unrealized depreciation on 90 portfolio company investments. The unrealized appreciation primarily resulted from improved performance of certain portfolio companies and the reversal of previously recorded unrealized depreciation. The unrealized depreciation primarily resulted from overall price declines across our portfolio and the reversal of unrealized appreciation in 2022. Additionally, $0.5 million of the net unrealized loss was driven by a change in deferred taxes. The overall net unrealized depreciation on our portfolio was primarily driven by market volatility during 2023.
Supplemental Information
On January 24, 2024, we completed our previously announced acquisition of FBLC. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was first merged with and into FBLC, with FBLC continuing as the surviving company, and, immediately following the Merger, FBLC was then merged with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, each outstanding share of FBLC's common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.4647 shares of our common stock. As a result of the Mergers, we issued an aggregate of 110.0 million shares of our common stock to FBLC stockholders.
The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition of FBLC by us in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the fair value of total consideration paid, including transaction costs, in conjunction with the Mergers allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of the Mergers. The consideration paid to FBLC stockholders was more than the aggregate fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which resulted in a purchase price premium. The purchase premium was allocated to the cost basis of the FBLC investments acquired by the Company on a pro-rata basis based on their relative fair values as of the effective time of the Merger. The purchase premium allocated to the debt investments acquired will amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to equity investments acquired will not amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired. Any adjustments to the cost basis of the acquired FBLC investments derived from the accounting treatment of the Mergers will be excluded from the incentive fee calculation.
As a supplement to our financial results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), we have provided, as detailed below, certain non-GAAP financial measures to our operating results that exclude the aforementioned purchase premium and the ongoing amortization thereof, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures include (i) adjusted net investment income after taxes; and (ii) adjusted net realized and unrealized gains (losses). We believe that the adjustment to exclude the full effect of the purchase premium is meaningful because it is a measure that we and investors use to assess our financial condition and results of operations. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. GAAP. The aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Short-term Borrowings

From time to time, the Company finances the purchase of certain investments through repurchase agreements. In the repurchase agreements, the Company enters into a trade to sell an investment and contemporaneously enter into a trade to buy the same investment back on a specified date in the future with the same counterparty. Investments sold under repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized borrowings as the sale of the investment does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860—Transfers and Servicing and remains as an investment on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company uses repurchase agreements as a short-term financing alternative. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had short-term borrowings outstanding of $0.0 and $0.0, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded interest expense of$0.0and$0.5 million, respectively, in connection with short-term borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not have short term borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had an average outstanding balance of short-term borrowings of $23.4 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 0.02%.
Secured Borrowings

On August 21, 2023, the Company entered into a total return swap (“TRS”) with Nomura. A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. The Company pays interest to Nomura for each loan at a rate equal to three-month SOFR plus 3.60% per annum. Upon the termination or repayment of any loan under the TRS, the Company will either receive from Nomura the appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Nomura any depreciation in the value of such loan. The scheduled termination date for the TRS is February 17, 2025. The Company may terminate the TRS prior to February 17, 2025 upon the occurrence of certain events but in certain circumstances may be required to pay certain termination fees.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all total return swaps on the Nomura TRS were entered into contemporaneously with the Company’s sale of their reference assets. Due to the Company’s continuing involvement in these assets, these assets are not derecognized under ASC Topic 860 -- Transfers and Servicing, and are presented on the consolidated schedule of investments. Financing amounts related to these assets are presented as secured borrowings on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Any margin paid to the counterparty under the terms of the TRS agreement is included in the “Due from broker” on the Company’s consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

The TRS is subject to the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies. The rule requires that the Company trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations subject to a value-at-risk leverage limit and certain derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. Generally, these requirements apply unless the Company qualifies as a “limited derivatives user,” as defined in the rule, in which case certain exceptions to these conditions would apply. The Company may qualify as a limited derivatives user if it adopts and implements written policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Company's derivatives risk and the Company's derivatives exposure does not exceed 10 percent of the Company's net assets as calculated in accordance with the rule.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had secured borrowings outstanding of $30.8 million and $33.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company recorded interest expense of $0.5 million in connection with secured borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had an average outstanding balance of secured borrowings of $32.4 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 6.67%.

At March 31, 2024, the carrying amount of the Company's secured borrowings approximated their fair value. The fair values of the Company's debt obligations are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Company's borrowings is estimated based upon market interest rates for the Company's own borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any.

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) pursuant to which all cash dividends or distributions (“Distributions”) declared by the Board of Directors are reinvested on behalf of investors who do not elect to receive their Distributions in cash (the “Participants”). As a result, if the Board of Directors declares a Distribution, then stockholders who have not elected to “opt out” of the DRIP will have their Distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price equal to net asset value (“NAV”) per share as estimated in good faith by the Company on the payment date. The timing and amount of Distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.

Note 10 – Preferred Stock
On August 25, 2021, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock, which designates a total of 50.0 million shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. On the same day, the Company entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Preferred Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors, pursuant to which the investors made new capital commitments (the “Preferred Capital Commitments”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has received total Preferred Capital Commitments of $77.5 million. Pursuant to their respective Preferred Subscription Agreements, each investor is required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of the Series A Preferred Stock up to the amount of their respective capital commitments on an as-needed basis, upon a minimum of 10 business days prior notice at a per-share price equal to the liquidation preference (the “Liquidation Preference”). The sale and issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder. The Company shall rely, in part, upon representations from the Investors in the relevant Preferred Subscription Agreements that each Investor is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
As of March 31, 2024, there were 50.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized, par value $0.001 per share, of which 77,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2023, there were 50.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized, par value $0.001 per share, of which 77,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. No shares outstanding of Series A Preferred Stock are redeemable before December 31, 2026.
Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a Liquidation Preference of $1,000.00 per share plus all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon. With respect to distributions, including the payment of dividends and distribution of the Company’s assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series A Preferred Stock will be senior to shares of Common Stock, will rank on parity with any other class or series of preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its certificate of incorporation, whether such class or series is now existing or is created in the future, to the extent of the aggregate Liquidation Preference, which amount includes all accrued but unpaid dividends and will be subordinate to the rights of holders of our senior indebtedness.

The Company has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at any time, and from time to time, on or after August 23, 2029 upon 90 days prior notice to holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

Note 11 - Share Repurchase Program

The Company intends to conduct annual tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program (“SRP”). The Company’s Board of Directors considers the following factors in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:

• the effect of such repurchases on the Company's qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);
• the liquidity of the Company's assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);
• the Company's investment plans and working capital requirements;

(Unaudited)
• the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company's size;
• the Company's history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof;
• the condition of the securities markets.
The Company intends to continue to limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year or (ii) the number of shares of common stock the Company is able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during the relevant redemption period. In addition, in the event of a stockholder’s death or disability, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accept up to the full amount tendered by such stockholder of the current net asset value per share. Any repurchases of shares made in connection with a stockholder’s death or disability may be included within the overall limitation imposed on tender offers during the relevant redemption period, which provides that the Company may limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any redemption period to the number of shares of common stock the Company is able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during such redemption period.

Note 12 - Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which considers participating securities as a separate class of shares. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for common stock according to dividends distributed and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s participating securities consist of its Series A Preferred Stock. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders, adjusted to exclude earnings allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase in net assets per share resulting from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Note 14 — Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders
The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it meets, certain quarterly asset diversification requirements, annual income tests, and distributes to stockholders its ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, each taxable year. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to one year after the previous tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its RIC status each year. The Company may also be subject to federal excise taxes of 4%.
A RIC is limited in its ability to deduct expenses in excess of its “investment company taxable income” (which is, generally, ordinary income plus net realized short-term capital gains in excess of net realized long-term capital losses). If the Company's expenses in a given taxable year exceed gross taxable income (e.g., as the result of large amounts of equity-based compensation), it would incur a net operating loss for that year. However, a RIC is not permitted to carry forward net operating losses to subsequent taxable years and such net operating losses do not pass through to the RIC’s stockholders. In addition, deductible expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain. A RIC may not use any net capital losses (that is, realized capital losses in excess of realized capital gains) to offset the RIC’s investment company taxable income, but may carry forward such net capital losses, and use them to offset capital gains indefinitely. Due to these limits on the deductibility of expenses and net capital losses, the Company may for tax purposes have aggregate taxable income for several taxable years that it is required to distribute and that is taxable to stockholders even if such taxable income is greater than the aggregate net income the Company actually earned during those taxable years. Such required distributions may be made from the Company cash assets or by liquidation of investments, if necessary. The Company may realize gains or losses from such liquidations. In the event the Company realizes net capital gains from such transactions, the Company may make a larger capital gain distribution than it would have made in the absence of such transactions.
Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, for excise tax purposes the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and incur a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.

The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”), nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company’s current tax year, 2023, 2022, and 2021 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are expected to have net operating losses and unrealized gains. As a result, the Company has deferred tax assets of $16.9 million and deferred tax liabilities of $(30.8) million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has concluded future reversal of existing temporary differences is sufficient to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not necessary as of March 31, 2024. As a result, no valuation allowance was recorded for the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s domestic subsidiary had a net operating loss and unrealized gain. As a result, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $6.0 million and a deferred tax liability of $(7.6) million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The future realization of the tax benefits of existing deductible temporary differences or carryforwards ultimately depend on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the carryback (if permitted under the tax law) and carryforward periods. The Company has concluded future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences is sufficient to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not necessary as of December 31, 2023. As a result, no valuation allowance was recorded for the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023.

The deferred tax asset valuation allowance, if applicable, has been determined pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, including the Company's estimation of future taxable income, if necessary, and is adequate to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

Note 17 - Merger with FBLC

On January 24, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of FBLC. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was first merged with and into FBLC, with FBLC continuing as the surviving company, and, immediately following the Merger, FBLC was then merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, each outstanding share of FBLC's common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.4647 shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of the Mergers, the Company issued an aggregate of 110.0 million shares of its common stock to FBLC stockholders.

    The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition of FBLC by the Company in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the fair value of total consideration paid, including transaction costs, in conjunction with the Mergers allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of the Mergers. Generally, under asset acquisition accounting, acquiring assets in groups not only requires ascertaining the cost of the asset (or net assets), but also allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. The cost of the group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values of net identifiable assets acquired other than certain “non-qualifying” assets (for example cash) and does not give rise to goodwill. As a result, the purchase price premium was allocated to the cost basis of the FBLC investments acquired by the Company on a pro-rata basis based on their relative fair values as of the effective time of the Merger. The Company will be the accounting survivor of the Mergers. The purchase premium allocated to the debt investments acquired will amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to equity investments acquired will not amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired. The Merger constitutes an integrated plan of the type contemplated in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 2001-46 and will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The Company has carried forward the historical cost basis of FBLC investments for tax purposes. As a result of the Merger, the Company is subject to an annual limit on its use of some of its unrealized capital losses to offset capital gains in future periods. If those losses are realized and the limitation prevents the Company from using any of those losses in a future period, those capital losses will be available to offset capital gains in subsequent periods. Additionally, net operating losses of one of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries is subject to an annual limitation. Losses subject to limitation will be available in subsequent periods.

Overview
We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC, and has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a RIC under the Code. We are managed by the Adviser. The Adviser is an affiliate of Benefit Street Partners. Our Adviser is a Delaware limited liability company that is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. Our Adviser oversees the management of our activities and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to our portfolio.
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We intend to invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with EBITDA of between $25 million and $100 million annually, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions. We expect that each investment generally will range between approximately 0.5% and 3.0% of our total assets. As of March 31, 2024, 79.5% of our portfolio was invested in senior secured loans.
Senior secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt and equity in priority of payments and are generally secured by liens on the operating assets of a borrower which may include inventory, receivables, plant, property and equipment. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior loans and is generally unsecured.
On December 18, 2020, we completed our Initial Closing of Capital Commitments to purchase shares of our Common Stock to investors in a private placement in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Since our Initial Closing, we held additional closings and received aggregate Capital Commitments to purchase Common Stock. As of March 31, 2024, investors had made aggregate Capital Commitments to purchase Common Stock of $375.5 million. At each closing of the private placement, each investor will make a Capital Commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Subscription Agreement entered into with us. Investors will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of Common Stock up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments on an as-needed basis each time we deliver a notice to the investors. Closings of the private placement of our Common Stock occurred, from time to time, during the Initial Closing Period which our Board of Directors extended such that it ended December 18, 2023. After the Initial Closing Period, we may permit one or more additional closings of the private placement of our Common Stock with the approval of our Board of Directors.

On August 25, 2021, we filed the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock. On the same day, we entered into the Preferred Subscription Agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which investors made new Preferred Capital Commitments to purchase shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2024, total Preferred Capital Commitments of Series A Preferred Stock were$77.5 million.

On January 24, 2024, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Franklin BSP Lending Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“FBLC”), Franklin BSP Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and our direct wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, the Adviser. In connection therewith, Merger Sub merged with and into FBLC (the “Merger”), with FBLC continuing as the surviving company and as our wholly-owned subsidiary, followed by FBLC merging with and into us (together with the Merger, the “Mergers”), and with us continuing as the surviving company. See Note 17 - Merger with FBLC for further information regarding the Mergers.

Portfolio Asset Quality
Our Adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Adviser grades the credit risk of all debt investments on a scale of 1 to 5 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio debt investment relative to the inherent risk at the time the original debt investment was made (i.e., at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company's business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors.
Loan RatingSummary Description
1Debt investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since the time of investment are favorable.
2Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable. All investments are initially rated a “2”.
3Performing debt investment requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration.
4Underperforming debt investment. Some loss of interest or dividend expected, but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative.
5Underperforming debt investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

86


The weighted average risk rating of our investments based on fair value was 2.3 and 2.3 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 we had six portfolio companies on non-accrual with a total amortized cost of $45.7 million and fair value of $35.6 million, which represented 1.3% and 1.0% of the investment portfolio's total amortized cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had no portfolio companies on non-accrual status. The increase of portfolio companies on non-accrual status was partially a result of the Mergers; whereby, we acquired FBLC’s assets, including its non-accrual assets. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional details regarding our non-accrual policy.
FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC
On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we became party to the joint venture formed on January 20, 2021, between FBLC and Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (“CCLF”), FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC (“SLF”). SLF invests primarily in senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent may invest in mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. SLF was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is not consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. We provide capital to SLF in the form of LLC equity interests. At formation, FBLC and CCLF owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. As of March 31, 2024, we and CCLF owned 79.9% and 20.1%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. Profit and loss are allocated based on each members' ownership percentage of the joint venture's net asset value. SLF has an Administrative and Loan Services Agreement with BSP, our affiliate, pursuant to which BSP provides certain operational and valuation services for SLF's investments; as well as certain agreements with third-party service providers. We and CCLF each appoint two members to SLF's four-person board of members. All material decisions with respect to SLF, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of members. Quorum is defined as (i) the presence of two members of the board of members; provided that at least one individual is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each member; (ii) the presence of three members of the board of members; provided that the individual that was elected, designated or appointed by the member with only one individual present shall be entitled to cast two votes on each matter; and (iii) the presence of four members of the board of members; provided that two individuals are present that were elected, designated or appointed by each member.
As of March 31, 2024, our investment in SLF consisted of equity contributions of $304.9 million. Our investment in SLF is classified as “Equity/Other” on the consolidated schedules of investments, and other disclosures unless otherwise indicated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Investments
Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment, the amount of capital we have available to us and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make.
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with EBITDA of between $25 million and $100 million annually, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions, which refers to acquisitions from secondary market participants rather than from the portfolio company directly.
As a BDC, we are generally required to invest at least 70% of our total assets primarily in securities of private and certain U.S. public companies (other than certain financial institutions), cash, cash equivalents and U.S. government securities and other limited float high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.

Revenues
We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments we hold, and to a lesser extent, capital gains and distributions, if any, on equity securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK income.
In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of fee income such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment, termination, and other upfront fees. We do not expect to receive material fee income as it is not our principal investment strategy. Upon the re-payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and other upfront fees are recorded as income.

Expenses
We will bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including, but not limited to:
expenses incurred by the Adviser and payable to third parties, including agents, consultants and other advisors, in monitoring our financial and legal affairs, news and quotation subscriptions, and market or industry research expenses;
the cost of calculating our NAV; the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our Common Stock and other securities;
management and incentive fees payable pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement; fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants and other advisors, relating to, or associated with, making investments, and, if necessary, enforcing its rights, and valuing investments (including third-party valuation firms);
expenses related to consummated or unconsummated investments, including dead deal or broken deal expenses; rating agency expenses; fees to arrange our debt financings;
distributions on our shares; administration fees payable under the Administration Agreement;
the allocated costs incurred by our Administrator in providing managerial assistance to those portfolio companies that request it; transfer agent and custodial fees; fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts (including attendance at investment conferences and similar events); accounting, audit and tax preparation expenses;
federal and state registration fees; any exchange listing fees; federal, state, local, and other taxes;

costs and expenses incurred in relation to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and our operation and administration generally;
independent directors’ fees and expenses;
brokerage commissions; costs of proxy statements, stockholders’ reports and notices; costs of preparing government filings, including periodic and current reports with the SEC; our fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums; indemnification payments;
expenses relating to the development and maintenance of our website, if any; other operations and technology costs;
direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, copying, telephone, fees of independent accountants and outside legal costs; and
all other expenses incurred by us or our Administrator in connection with administering our business, including, but not limited to, payments under the Administration Agreement based upon our allocable portion of our Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, travel and the allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs, including operations and tax professionals and administrative staff who provide support services in respect of us.
Our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023were as follows (dollars in thousands):
For the three months ended March 31,
20242023
Total investment income$96,550 $22,424 
Expenses, net of incentive fee waiver46,487 10,155 
Income tax expense, including excise tax326 208 
Net investment income (loss)$49,737 $12,061 

Investment Income

Investment income increased from $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $96.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarilydriven by the Mergers with FBLC, which resulted in the acquisition of $2.8 billion of FBLC’s investments at fair value on January 24, 2024, as well as rising base rates on our variable rate portfolio, which represents 95.0% of our portfolio as of March 31, 2024. As a result of the Mergers, our investment portfolio at amortized cost increased to $3.5 billion as of March 31, 2024 from $769.0 million as of December 31, 2023. PIK income from investments also increased from $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Fee and other income, included within total investment income,decreased from $0.3 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $0.1 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an decrease in one-time fees earned on certain investments, including commitment, prepayment fees and accelerated amortization of upfront fees from unscheduled paydowns.

Management Fees

Management Fees increased from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $10.6 millionfor the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in management fees from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 was driven by an increase in our asset base due to the Mergers with FBLC. Total assets increasedfrom $831.7 million as of December 31, 2023 to $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2024.

Incentive Fees

Incentive Fees increased from $1.8 million (all of which were waived by the Adviser) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in incentive fees from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 was driven by an increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income due to the Mergers with FBLC.

Interest and debt fees

Interest and debt fees increased from $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarily driven by the Mergers with FBLC, which resulted in the acquisition of $1.2 billion of FBLC’s debt on January 24, 2024 as well as an increase in base interest rates of our variable rate debt. The average daily debt outstanding for facility borrowings and unsecured notes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $380.5 million compared to $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The weighted average annualized interest cost of the facility borrowings and unsecured notes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 8.54% and 7.43%, respectively.

Professional Fees and Other General and Administrative Expenses

Professional fees and other general and administrative expenses increased from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in professional fees and other general and administrative expenses from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in costs associated with servicing a larger investment portfolio due to the Mergers with FBLC.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments

Realized gains or losses are measured using the specific identification method whereby we measure the gain or loss by the difference between the net proceeds from repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a net realized gain of $1.3 million. The net realized gain was primarily driven by one investment.In February 2024, we fully exited our second lien debt position of Mercury Merger Sub, Inc. which resulted in a realized gain of $0.5 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a net realized loss of $(0.2) million. The net realized loss was primarily driven by one investment. In March 2023, we fully exited our first lien debt position of Acrisure, LLC which resulted in a realized loss of $(0.1) million.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments

Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded unrealized appreciation of $8.3 million on 60 portfolio company investments, which was offset by $32.8 million of unrealized depreciation on 226 portfolio company investments. The unrealized appreciation primarily resulted from improved performance of certain portfolio companies and the reversal of unrealized depreciation. The unrealized depreciation was primarily due to isolated deterioration in the credit performance of a small number of portfolio companies. The overall net unrealized depreciation on our portfolio was primarily driven by deterioration in the credit performance of a small number of portfolio companies.


92


For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded unrealized appreciation of $1.7 million on 32 portfolio company investments which was offset by $2.4 million of unrealized depreciation on 90 portfolio company investments. The unrealized appreciation primarily resulted from improved performance of certain portfolio companies and the reversal of previously recorded unrealized depreciation. The unrealized depreciation primarily resulted from overall price declines across our portfolio and the reversal of unrealized appreciation in 2022. Additionally, $0.5 million of the net unrealized loss was driven by a change in deferred taxes. The overall net unrealized depreciation on our portfolio was primarily driven by market volatility during 2023.
Supplemental Information
On January 24, 2024, we completed our previously announced acquisition of FBLC. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was first merged with and into FBLC, with FBLC continuing as the surviving company, and, immediately following the Merger, FBLC was then merged with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, each outstanding share of FBLC's common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.4647 shares of our common stock. As a result of the Mergers, we issued an aggregate of 110.0 million shares of our common stock to FBLC stockholders.
The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition of FBLC by us in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the fair value of total consideration paid, including transaction costs, in conjunction with the Mergers allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of the Mergers. The consideration paid to FBLC stockholders was more than the aggregate fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which resulted in a purchase price premium. The purchase premium was allocated to the cost basis of the FBLC investments acquired by the Company on a pro-rata basis based on their relative fair values as of the effective time of the Merger. The purchase premium allocated to the debt investments acquired will amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to equity investments acquired will not amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired. Any adjustments to the cost basis of the acquired FBLC investments derived from the accounting treatment of the Mergers will be excluded from the incentive fee calculation.
As a supplement to our financial results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), we have provided, as detailed below, certain non-GAAP financial measures to our operating results that exclude the aforementioned purchase premium and the ongoing amortization thereof, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures include (i) adjusted net investment income after taxes; and (ii) adjusted net realized and unrealized gains (losses). We believe that the adjustment to exclude the full effect of the purchase premium is meaningful because it is a measure that we and investors use to assess our financial condition and results of operations. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. GAAP. The aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Shares Repurchase Program
On February 29, 2024, we offered to purchase up to approximately 2.7 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our SRP at a price equal to $14.49 per share. The offer expired on April 9, 2024. On May 7, 2024 we purchased 2.7 million shares of common stock for aggregate consideration of $38.8 million pursuant to the limitations of the SRP as detailed in Note 11 - Share Repurchase Program.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of the purchase of shares of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock via drawdowns on our investors’ capital commitments, cash flows from interest and fees earned from our investments and principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. As of March 31, 2024, we had issued 136.3million shares of our Common Stock for net proceeds of $2.0 billion, including shares issued pursuant to the DRIP. We had also issued 77,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $77.4million. As of March 31, 2023, we had issued 25.3 million shares of our Common Stock for net proceeds of $384.8 million, including shares issued pursuant to the DRIP. We had also issued 77,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $77.4 million.
As of March 31, 2024, we had $114.2 million of cash. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $198.6 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, redemptions, and sales of portfolio investments. The cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily a result of purchases of investments of $67.1 million, offset by sales and repayments of investments of $153.9 million as well as cash received in the Mergers of $58.5 million. As of March 31, 2023, we had $16.4 million of cash. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $5.0 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, redemptions, and sales of portfolio investments. The cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily a result of purchases of investments of $18.6 million, offset by sales and repayments of investments of $13.4 million.

Net cash used in financing activities of $139.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily related to payments on debt of $193.0 million, common stockholder distributions of $7.9 million, and preferred stockholder distributions of $2.2 million partially offset by proceeds from debt of $66.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities of $14.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily related payments on debt of $70.4, repayments on short-term borrowings of $20.8 million, common stockholder distributions of $7.6 million, and preferred stockholder distributions of $1.0 million partially offset by proceeds from issuance of shares of common stock of $8.3 million, proceeds from issuance of shares of preferred stock of $41.3 million and proceeds from short-term borrowings of $35.5 million.
We also fund a portion of our investments through borrowings from banks. Our primary use of cash will be investments in portfolio companies, payments of our expenses and payment of cash distributions to our stockholders. As of March 31, 2024, we are party to the JPM and Wells Fargo Credit Facilities, which is defined in and described in more detail in Note 5 - Borrowings. We are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, which, as defined in the 1940 Act, measures the ratio of total assets less total liabilities not represented by senior securities to total borrowings, equals at least 150% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. As of March 31, 2024, our asset coverage ratio was 228%.
As of March 31, 2024, we had $523.8 million of availability under the JPM Credit Facility, Wells Fargo Credit Facility, FBLC JPM Credit Facility, and JPM Revolver (subject to borrowing base availability), and had approximately $0.9 million of uncalled capital commitments to purchase shares of our Common Stock. As of March 31, 2023, we had $88.5 million of availability under the MS Credit Facility (subject to borrowing base availability), and had approximately $218.3 million of uncalled capital commitments to purchase shares of our Common Stock. We expect to have sufficient liquidity for our investing activities and to conduct our operations in the near term.

Taxation as a RIC
We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that we distribute as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to our stockholders. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, in order to maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each tax year, an amount equal to at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gain over realized net long-term capital loss and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, or the annual distribution requirement. Even if we qualify as a RIC, we generally will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed taxable income and could be subject to state, local, and foreign taxes.
Additionally, in order to avoid the imposition of a U.S. federal excise tax, we are required to distribute, in respect of each calendar year, dividends to our stockholders of an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of our calendar year net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections); 98.2% of our capital gain net income (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the one year period ending on December 31 of such calendar year; and any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding calendar years that were not distributed during such calendar years and on which we previously did not incur any U.S. federal income tax. If we fail to qualify as a RIC for any reason and become subject to U.S federal income corporate tax, the resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions. Such a failure would have a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders. In addition, we could be required to recognize unrealized gains, incur substantial taxes and interest and make substantial distributions in order to re-qualify as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions.

Distributions
The amount of each distribution is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. We calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the quarter using record and declaration dates.

The table shows the components of the distributions we have declared and/or paid to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2024and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

96


We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to us, including advances from the Adviser that are subject to reimbursement, as well as offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. We may have distributions which could be characterized as a return of capital for tax purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no portion of our distributions was characterized as return of capital for tax purposes. The specific tax characteristics of our distributions made in respect of our anticipated fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 will be reported to stockholders shortly after the end of the calendar year 2024 as well as in our periodic reports with the SEC. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our ordinary income or gain. Moreover, you should understand that any such distributions were not based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods and/or our Adviser continues to make such reimbursements. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the performance necessary to sustain our distributions or that we will be able to pay distributions at all.
Related Party Transactions and Agreements
Investment Advisory Agreement

We entered into an amendment and restatement of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement”), dated as of January 24, 2024, which was approved by our Board of Directors and our stockholders in connection with the consummation of the Mergers, under which the Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Directors manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to us. Affiliates of the Adviser also provide investment advisory services to other funds that have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. Affiliates of the Adviser also serve as investment adviser or sub-adviser to private funds and registered open-end funds, and as an investment adviser to a public real estate investment trust. The Adviser has adopted policies designed to manage and mitigate the conflicts of interest associated with the allocation of investment opportunities. In addition, any affiliated fund currently formed or formed in the future and managed by the Adviser or its affiliates may have overlapping investment objectives with our own and, accordingly, may invest in asset classes similar to those targeted by us. However, in certain instances due to regulatory, tax, investment, or other restrictions, certain investment opportunities may not be appropriate for either us or other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

Administration Agreement
On September 23, 2020, we entered into the Administration Agreement with BSP, pursuant to which BSP provides us with office facilities and administrative services. We reimburse BSP quarterly for all administrative costs and expenses incurred by our Adviser in performing our obligations under the Administration Agreement and annually for overhead expenses incurred in the course of performing our obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, travel and the allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs, including operations and tax professionals, and administrative staff providing support services in respect of us. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon not less than 60 days’ written notice to the other. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in administrative service fees under the administrative agreement, which are included in other general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.












97


Co-Investment Relief
The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from entering into negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC. The SEC has granted exemptive relief to affiliates of the Adviser that allows us to enter into certain negotiated co-investment transactions alongside other funds managed by Affiliated Funds in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with the Order. Pursuant to the Order, we are permitted to co-invest with our affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our eligible directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our investment objective and strategies.
Borrowings
We are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, which, as defined in the 1940 Act, measures the ratio of total assets less total liabilities not represented by senior securities to total borrowings, equals at least 150% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the senior securities issued by us was $1.5 billion and our asset coverage was 228%. We are continually exploring forms of debt financing which could include new or expanded credit facilities or the issuance of senior securities that are debt or stock. We may use borrowed funds, known as “leverage,” to make investments and to attempt to increase returns to our stockholders by reducing our overall cost of capital. We currently have credit facilities with JPMorgan and Wells Fargo.


JPM Credit Facility

On October 4, 2023, we refinanced the MS Credit Facility with a $400.0 million credit facility with FBCC Jupiter Funding, LLC, a wholly-owned, consolidated special purpose financing subsidiary of us, as borrower (“Jupiter Funding”), the Adviser, as portfolio manager, the lenders party thereto, U.S. Bank National Association, as securities intermediary, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as collateral administrator and collateral agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “JPM Credit Facility”). The JPM Credit Facility provides for borrowings through October 4, 2026, and any amounts borrowed under the JPM Credit Facility will mature on October 4, 2027. Borrowings under the JPM Credit Facility will bear interest at a benchmark rate, currently SOFR, plus a margin of 2.75% per annum, which is inclusive of an administrative agent fee. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Jupiter Funding will be subject to a non-usage fee of 0.75%, which is inclusive of the administrative agent fee, to the extent the commitments available under the JPM Credit Facility have not been borrowed. Jupiter Funding paid an upfront fee and incurred other customary costs and expenses in connection with the JPM Credit Facility.
Short-Term Borrowings
From time to time, we finance the purchase of certain investments through repurchase agreements. In the repurchase agreements, we enter into a trade to sell an investment and contemporaneously enter into a trade to buy the same investment back on a specified date in the future with the same counterparty. Investments sold under repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized borrowings as the sale of the investment does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860—Transfers and Servicing and remains as an investment on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. We use repurchase agreements as a short-term financing alternative. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had short-term borrowings outstanding of $0.0 and $0.0, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded interest expense of $0.0 and $0.5 million, respectively, in connection with short-term borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not have outstanding short term borrowing. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had an average outstanding balance of short-term borrowings of $23.4 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 0.02%.




98


Secured Borrowings

On August 21, 2023, we entered into a total return swap (“TRS”) with Nomura. A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. We pay interest to Nomura for each loan at a rate equal to three-month SOFR plus 3.60% per annum. Upon the termination or repayment of any loan under the TRS, we will either receive from Nomura the appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Nomura any depreciation in the value of such loan. The scheduled termination date for the TRS is February 17, 2025. We may terminate the TRS prior to February 17, 2025 upon the occurrence of certain events but in certain circumstances may be required to pay certain termination fees.

As of March 31, 2024, all total return swaps on the Nomura TRS were entered into contemporaneously with our sale of their reference assets. Due to our continuing involvement in these assets, these assets are not derecognized under ASC Topic 860 -- Transfers and Servicing, and are presented on our consolidated schedule of investments. Financing amounts related to these assets are presented as secured borrowings on our consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Any margin paid to the counterparty under the terms of the TRS agreement is included in the “Due from broker” on our consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

The TRS is subject to the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies. The rule requires that we trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations subject to a value-at-risk leverage limit and certain derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. Generally, these requirements apply unless we qualify as a “limited derivatives user,” as defined in the rule, in which case certain exceptions to these conditions would apply. We may qualify as a limited derivatives user if it adopts and implements written policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage our derivatives risk and our derivatives exposure does not exceed 10 percent of our net assets as calculated in accordance with the rule.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had secured borrowings outstanding of $30.8 million and $33.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 we recorded interest expense of $0.5 million and $0.0 million, respectively, in connection with secured borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had an average outstanding balance of secured borrowings of $32.4 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 6.67%.

Wells Fargo Credit Facility

On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers we became party to a $300.0 million revolving credit facility with us as collateral manager, Funding I, a wholly owned, consolidated special purpose financing subsidiary, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent and collateral custodian (the “Wells Fargo Credit Facility”).
The Wells Fargo Credit Facility provides for borrowings through August 25, 2026, and any amounts borrowed under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility will mature on August 25, 2028. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility has an interest rate of daily simple SOFR (with a daily simple SOFR floor of zero), plus a spread of 2.75% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Funding I will be subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the commitments available under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility have not been borrowed. The non-usage fee per annum is 0.50% for the first 25% of the unused balance and increases to 2.00% for any remaining unused balance.
Funding I’s obligations under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Funding I, including its portfolio of investments and FBCC’s equity interest in Funding I. The obligations of Funding I under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility are non-recourse to FBCC.

99


In connection with the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, FBCC and Funding I have made certain representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants and other customary requirements. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility contains customary default provisions pursuant to which the administrative agent and the lenders under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility may terminate FBCC in its capacity as collateral manager/portfolio manager under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, the administrative agent or the lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility immediately due and payable.
FBLC JPM Credit Facility

On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we through a wholly-owned, consolidated special purpose financing subsidiary, 57th Street, became party to a $400.0 million revolving credit facility with JPMorgan, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent, collateral administrator and securities intermediary (the “FBLC JPM Credit Facility”).
The FBLC JPM Credit Facility provides for borrowings through September 15, 2026, and any amounts borrowed under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility will mature on September 15, 2027. The FBLC JPM Credit Facility has an interest rate of SOFR plus 2.80% (subject to further increases consistent with the terms of the FBLC JPM Credit Facility), which is inclusive of an administrative agent fee. The FBLC JPM Credit Facility will be subject to a non-usage fee to be 0.75%, inclusive of an administrative agent fee. The non-usage fee of 0.75% (inclusive of an administrative agent fee) applies to the first 20% of the unused balance and increases to 3.00% for any remaining unused balance. FBCC and 57th Street are permitted to submit a commitment increase request to up to $800.0 million.
57th Street’s obligations under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of 57th Street, including its portfolio of investments and FBCC’s equity interest in 57th Street. The obligations of 57th Street under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility are non-recourse to FBCC.
In connection with the FBLC JPM Credit Facility, FBCC and 57th Street have made certain representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants and other customary requirements. The FBLC JPM Credit Facility contains customary default provisions pursuant to which the administrative agent and the lenders under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility may terminate FBCC in its capacity as collateral manager/portfolio manager under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility, the administrative agent or the lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility immediately due and payable.
JPM Revolver Facility
On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we became party to a $505.0 million revolving credit facility with JPMorgan, as administrative agent and as collateral agent, N.A., Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as syndication agents, as well as other Lender parties (the “JPM Revolver Facility”).
The JPM Revolver Facility provides for borrowings through December 8, 2027, and any amounts borrowed under the JPM Revolver Facility will mature on December 8, 2028. The JPM Revolver Facility is priced at three-month Term SOFR, plus a spread calculated based upon the composition of loans in the collateral pool, which will not exceed 1.98% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. We will be subject to a non-usage fee of 0.38% to the extent the commitments available under the JPM Revolver Facility have not been borrowed.
In connection with the JPM Revolver Facility, FBCC has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. The JPM Revolver Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, JPM may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the JPM Revolver Facility immediately due and payable.

2024 Notes
On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we became party to a Purchase Agreement relating to the sale of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.85% fixed rate notes due December 15, 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). The 2024 Notes are subject to customary indemnification provisions and representations, warranties, and covenants. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2024 Notes were approximately $98.4 million. The 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.85% per year payable semi-annually.
2026 Notes
On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, the Company became party to a Purchase Agreement relating to the sale of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% fixed rate notes due March 30, 2026 (the “Restricted 2026 Notes”). The net proceeds from the sale of the Restricted 2026 Notes were approximately $296.0 million. Pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form N-14 (File No. 333-257321), on September 22, 2021, holders of the Restricted 2026 Notes were offered the opportunity to exchange their Restricted 2026 Notes for new registered notes with substantially identical terms (the "Unrestricted 2026 Notes" and, together with the Restricted 2026 Notes, the 2026 Notes), through which holders representing 99.88% of the outstanding principal of the then Restricted 2026 Notes obtained Unrestricted 2026 Notes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
Commitments
In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into future funding commitments. As of March 31, 2021,2024, we had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $4.7$179.1 million and unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $147.6 million. As of December 31, 2023, we had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $34.3 million and unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $42.2 million. We maintain sufficient cash on hand, unfunded commitments to purchase our common stock,Common Stock, and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments. Please refer to Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for further detail of these unfunded commitments.
Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we will evaluate our estimates, including those related to the matters described below. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
While our significant accounting policies are also described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report, we believe the following accounting policies require the most significant judgment in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments
Portfolio
We are required to report our investments, including those for which current market values are reported on the statements of assets and liabilitiesnot readily available, at fair value. On a quarterly basis we perform an analysis of each investment to determinevalue in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as follows:the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date, and Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act.
Securities
Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchangeare typically valued at those market quotations. All investments that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available, as is the case for substantially all of our investments, are valued at the reported closing price onfair value as determined in good faith by our Valuation Designee, subject to oversight from our Board of Directors.

As part of the valuation date. We may also obtain quotes with respect to certain ofprocess, our investments from pricing services or brokers or dealersValuation Designee takes into account relevant factors in order to value assets. When doing so, we determine whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determinedetermining the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, we use the quote obtained.
30


Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments, include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, in combination of:

the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company;
indicative dealer quotes;
the nature and realizable value of any collateral, collateral;
the portfolio company'scompany’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and discounted cash flows, flow;
the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisonsbusiness;
a comparison of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables,the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities; and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input
overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future.
Our Valuation Designee, subject to oversight from our Board of Directors, undertakes a multi-step valuation process.
For an investmentprocess each quarter in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, we measureconnection with determining the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per shareour investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, or are available but deemed not reflective of the investment fund if the net assetfair value of an investment, which includes, among other procedures, the following:
Each portfolio company or investment fund is calculated in a manner consistentwill be valued by our Valuation Designee, with the measurement principles of ASC 946, as of our measurement date.
As part of our quarterly valuation process the Adviser may be assisted byassistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by us. our Board of Directors;
The independent valuation firm(s) conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and
Our Valuation Designee, under the supervision of our Board of Directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and the independent valuation firm(s)firms (to the extent applicable). and our Valuation Designee’s own analysis. Our Valuation Designee also has established the Valuation Committee to assist our Valuation Designee in carrying out its designated responsibilities, subject to oversight of our Board of Directors.
With respect
Our Valuation Designee, subject to investmentsoversight from our Board of Directors, has and will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of our portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available the Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by the Adviser, potentially with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by our Boardare readily available but deemed not reflective of Directors;
The independent valuation firm(s) conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and
The Board of Directors determines the fair value of the investment each investment, in good faith, basedquarter, and our Valuation Designee may reasonably rely on that assistance. However, our Valuation Designee, subject to oversight from our Board of Directors, is responsible for the inputultimate valuation of the Adviser and independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of the Board of Directors.
Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, we value substantially all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith bypursuant to our Board of Directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not havevaluation policy and a readily available market value,consistently applied valuation process.

Our accounting policy on the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally,is critical because the determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investmentsthese valuations, and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investmentany change in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.
Revenue Recognition

Interest Income
Investment transactions are accounted forthese valuations, on the trade date. Interest income, adjustedconsolidated financial statements.
See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for amortizationa description of premiumother accounting policies and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments.
Other Income
Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned, either upfront or amortized into income. Upon the payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees are recorded as income.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method. We measure 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 will reflect 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.

Organization and Offering Expenses
We will bear the organization and offering expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the offering of shares of our Common Stock, including the out-of-pocket expenses of the Adviser and its agents and affiliates. In addition, we will reimburse the Adviser for the organizational and offering costs it incurs on our behalf. If actual organization and offering costs incurred exceed the greater of $1 million or 0.10% of the Company’s total capital commitments, the Adviser or its affiliate will bear the excess costs. To the extent the Company’s capital commitments later increase, the Adviser or its affiliates may be reimbursed for past payments of excess organization and offering costs made on the Company’s behalf provided that the total organization and offering costs borne by the Company do not exceed 0.10% of total capital commitments and provided further that the Adviser or its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization and offering expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to the proposed reimbursement. In general, we may not deduct organizational expenses, and an election may be made by us to amortize organizational expenses over at least a 180-month period for tax purposes. Offering costs are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the commencement of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. We expect our market risk will arise primarily from interest rate risk relating to interest rate fluctuations. Many factors including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations (including global or regional conflicts) and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we may borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes in earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. During the periods covered by this report, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities. We would not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
As of March 31, 2021,2024, our debt included variable-rate debt, bearing a weighted average interest rate of LIBORSOFR plus 2.25% 2.48% and a fixed rate debt, bearing a weighted average interest rate of 3.65% with a total carrying value (net of deferred financing costs)costs) of $28.9 million. $1.5 billion. The followingfollowing table quantifies the potential changes in interest income net of interest expense should base interest rates increase or decrease by the amounts below assuming that our current consolidated statement of assets and liabilities was to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate floors, if applicable, are not reflected in the sensitivity analysis below.
Change in Base Interest RatesEstimated Change in Interest Income net of Interest Expense (in thousands)
(-) 19530 Basis Points$$(91,928)(69)
(-) 200 Basis Points$(34,701)
(-) 100 Basis Points$(17,351)

(+) 50 Basis Points$$8,675 177 
(+) 100 Basis Points$$17,351 353 
(+) 200 Basis Points$$34,701 707 


Because we may borrow money to make investments, our net investment income may be dependent on the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of increasing interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.


Valuation Risk

We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities of private companies. Most of our investments will not have a readily available market price, and our Adviser, as our Valuation Designee under Rule 2a-5, values these investments at fair value as determined in good faith subject to the oversight of our Board of Directors, based on, among other things, the input of the Adviser and independent third-party valuation firms, in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented.

Inflation and Supply Chain Risk

Economic activity has continued to accelerate across sectors and regions. Nevertheless, due to global supply chain issues, geopolitical events, including the outbreak of global or regional conflicts (such as those in the Middle East and Eastern Europe) a rise in energy prices and strong consumer demand as economies continue to reopen, inflation is showing signs of acceleration in the U.S. and globally. Inflation is likely to continue in the near to medium-term, particularly in the U.S., with the possibility that monetary policy may tighten in response. Persistent inflationary pressures could affect our portfolio companies profit margins.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were (a) designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and reported in an accurate manner and on a timely basis and the information that we are required to disclose in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to management to permit timely decisions with respect to required disclosure and (b) operating in an effective manner.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the periodquarter ended March 31, 20212024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II -II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As of March 31, 2021,2024, we were not defendants in any material pending legal proceeding, and no such material proceedings are known to be contemplated. However, from time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under the contracts with our portfolio companies. Third parties may also seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factorsrisk factor discussed below and in Part I., “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020,2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. The risksrisk described below and the risks in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
Because we expect to borrow money, the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested in us will be magnified and may increase the risk of investing in us.
The use of borrowings, also known as leverage, including through the issuance of senior securities that are debt or stock, increases the volatility of investments by magnifying the potential for gain or loss on invested equity capital. Because we intend to use leverage to partially finance our investments, through borrowing from banks and other lenders, investorsyou will experience increased risks of investing in our common stock.Common Stock. If the value of our assets increases, leveraging would cause the net asset value attributable to our common stockNAV to increase more sharply than it would have had we not leveraged. Conversely, if the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause our net asset valueNAV to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Similarly, any increase in our income in excess of interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net income to increase more than it would without the leverage, while any decrease in our income would cause net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect our ability to make common stockCommon Stock distribution payments. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique.
The following table illustrates the effects of leverage on returns from an investment in shares of Common Stock, assuming various hypothetical annual returns, net of expenses. The calculations are hypothetical and actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing below. The calculation assumes (i) $148.5 million$4.1 billion in total assets, (ii) a weighted average cost of funds of 2.45%8.54%, (iii) $100.0 million in$2.0 billion of debt outstandingoutstanding (i.e., assumes that the $400 million principal amount of our unsecured notes sold and the full amount is$1.6 billion available to us under our MS Credit Facility as ofrevolving credit facilities are outstanding at March 31, 2021), 2024) and (iv) $39.5 million$2.0 billion in stockholders’ equity, and (v) no incentive fees payable by the Company to the Adviser.equity. In order to compute the “Corresponding return to stockholders,” the “Assumed Return on Our Portfolio (net of expenses)” is multiplied by the assumed total assets to obtain an assumed return to us. From this amount, the interest expense is calculated by multiplying the assumed weighted average cost of funds by the assumed debt outstanding, and the product is subtracted from the assumed return to us in order to determine the return available to stockholders. The return available to stockholders is then divided by our stockholders’ equity to determine the “Corresponding return to stockholders.” Actual interest payments may be different.
