EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016 (the “Third Quarter 10-Q”), as filed on November 14, 2016, was delayed solely as a result of an ongoing evaluation of an auditor independence matter related to its independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), a member of Ernst & Young Global Limited (“EYG”).
On November 7, 2016, EY informed the Company that it would not be able to complete its review of the interim financial statements required by Regulation S-X to be included in the Third Quarter 10-Q by November 9, 2016 (the filing deadline for the Third Quarter 10-Q) because it had discovered that an EY Global Limited ("EYG") member firm's pension plan had invested in a fund managed by a third party, which had in turn invested in an underlying fund managed by the Company's investment advisor.
On November 11, 2016, the EYG member firm pension plan sold its investment in the third party fund, thereby remediating the breach. The Company, its audit committee and EY have assessed the impact of the above matter on EY’s objectivity and impartial judgment in light of all of the relevant facts and circumstances. EY has concluded that this matter did not and will not impair its objectivity or impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within its audit and review engagements. The audit committee has concurred with EY’s conclusion. This Form 10-Q satisfies Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, this Form 10-Q includes certifications under Section 906 of SOX.

OHA INVESTMENT CORPORATION
CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
September 30, 2016
(In thousands, except share amounts and percentages)
(Unaudited — Continued)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
(1) | We pledged all of our portfolio investments as collateral for obligations under our Credit Facility. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Percentages represent interest rates in effect as of September 30, 2016, and due dates represent the contractual maturity dates. Warrants, common stock, units and earn-outs are non-income producing securities, unless otherwise stated. |
(2) | The Audit Committee recommends fair values of each asset for which market quotations are not readily available to our Board of Directors, which in good faith determines the final fair value for each investment. Fair value is determined using unobservable inputs (Level 3 hierarchy), unless otherwise stated. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
(3) | Fair value is determined using prices with observable market inputs (Level 2 hierarchy). See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
(4) | We have determined that this investment is not a “qualifying asset” under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, we may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets. The status of these assets under the 1940 Act is subject to change. We monitor the status of these asset classifications on an ongoing basis. |
(5) | Investment on non-accrual status and therefore non-income producing. |
(6) | Non-income producing equity securities. |
(7) | Effective December 31, 2015, we executed a fourth amendment to our note purchase and security agreement with OCI Holdings, LLC, or OCI, to waive several defaults and amend covenant limits in exchange for increases in the interest rate to LIBOR+12% cash with a 1% floor, plus 3% payment-in-kind, or PIK. Also, default interest of $0.1 million was added to the principal balance on January 1, 2016. |
(8) | By the terms of our original investment, upon redemption, we were due the outstanding face amount of $50 million, any unpaid and accrued dividends, plus an option to elect to receive either: a) a cash payment resulting in a total 12% return or make-whole (inclusive of the 8% cash distributions even if not paid), or b) our pro rata share of 2% of the outstanding regular limited partner interests in Castex (0.67% net to us). Castex elected to pay us in PIK for more than two consecutive quarters, causing the return on the initial make-whole calculation to first increase from 12% to 13.5%. Preferred unit holders had a put right starting on July 1, 2016, which we exercised on that date with respect to all of our preferred units. Castex Energy 2005, LP, or Castex, had 90 days from the receipt of the put notice to redeem. Castex did not redeem the preferred units within 90 days of the receipt of the put notice. As a result, the make-whole of 13.5% further increased by 4.5%, to 18%, we are entitled to board observation rights as a preferred unit holder, and other covenants apply. If the preferred units are not redeemed within one year from the originally scheduled put closing date (which would be September 29, 2017), Castex and the limited partners must use commonly reasonable efforts to enter into, within 90 days, a 12% dollar denominated production payment transaction with the preferred unit holders exercising the put right, with a 3 year term for such production payment. If such production payment transaction is not consummated within 90 days, Castex must use all available resources to repay preferred interests and the preferred return steps up to 25% from that point forward. Amounts shown for principal and cost include PIK dividends that have been added to the principal balance. |
(9) | Effective July 1, 2015, ATP was placed on non-accrual status based on estimated future production payments, and income is recognized to the extent cash received. |
(10) | For more information on ATP, refer to the discussion of the ATP litigation in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. |
(11) | Effective June 24, 2015, we executed a third amendment to our credit agreement with Shoreline Energy, LLC, or Shoreline, to amend certain covenant limits in exchange for increases in Shoreline's interest to the greater of LIBOR+9.25% with a 1.25% floor or prime+8.25% with a 1.25% floor, effective after March 31, 2015. The third amendment also included the addition of 0.50% PIK interest effective after June 30, 2015. Effective September 23, 2015, we executed a fourth amendment to our credit agreement with Shoreline to increase PIK interest to 1.75%. Effective October 22, 2015, we executed a fifth amendment to our credit agreement with Shoreline which included an addition of 0.25% PIK, four quarters of deferred amortization beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, and amendments to the leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios. In 2016, Shoreline defaulted and is no longer paying us cash interest. On November 2, 2016, Shoreline filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. |
10
(12) | Contingent payment of up to $6.8 million was dependent upon Alden Resources, LLC’s achievement of certain sales volume and operating efficiency levels during the three-year period ended July 2014. The reporting and review mechanism to conclude the ultimate value of the earn-out has not yet been completed; however, Globe BG, LLC had informally advised us that the company’s relative cost of production has not improved between July 2011 and July 2014. |
(13) | On August 10, 2016 the margin was amended to be increased from LIBOR+8.25% with a 1% floor to LIBOR+9.25% with a 1% floor. |
(14) | Fair value is determined using prices for identical securities in active markets (Level 1 hierarchy). See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |

OHA INVESTMENT CORPORATION
CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
December 31, 2015
(Continued)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
(1) | We pledged all of our portfolio investments, except our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, as collateral for obligations under our Investment Facility. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Percentages represent interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2015, and due dates represent the contractual maturity dates. Warrants, common stock, units and earn-outs are non-income producing securities, unless otherwise stated. |
(2) | The Audit Committee recommends fair values of each asset to our Board of Directors, which in good faith determines the final fair value for each investment. Fair value is determined using unobservable inputs (Level 3 hierarchy), unless otherwise stated. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
(3) | Fair value is determined using prices with observable market inputs (Level 2 hierarchy). See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
(4) | Fair value is determined using prices for identical securities in active markets (Level 1 hierarchy). See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
(5) | We have determined that this investment is not a “qualifying asset” under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, we may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets. The status of these assets under the 1940 Act is subject to change. We monitor the status of these asset classifications on an ongoing basis. |
(6) | Investment on non-accrual status and therefore non-income producing. |
(7) | The fair value of our Contour Highwall Holdings, LLC, or Contour, membership units also includes any value attributable to our ownership of 8,000 shares of common stock of Bundy Auger Mining, Inc., an affiliate of Contour. |
(8) | Effective July 9, 2014, we executed a third amendment to our note purchase and security agreement with OCI Holdings, LLC, or OCI, to amend certain covenant limits in exchange for increases in OCI’s interest to LIBOR+11% cash with a 1% floor, plus 3% payment-in-kind, or PIK. |
(9) | Effective December 31, 2015, we executed a fourth amendment to our note purchase and security agreement with OCI Holdings, LLC, or OCI, to waive several defaults and amend covenant limits in exchange for increases in OCI's interest to LIBOR+12% cash with a 1% floor, plus 3% PIK. Also, default interest of $0.1 million was added to the principal balance on January 1, 2016. |
(10) | By the terms of our original investment, upon redemption, we were due the outstanding face amount of $50 million, any unpaid and accrued dividends, plus an option to elect to receive either: a) a cash payment resulting in a total 12% return or make-whole (inclusive of the 8% cash distributions even if not paid), or b) our pro rata share of 2% of the outstanding regular limited partner interests in Castex (0.67% net to us). Castex elected to pay us in PIK for more than two consecutive quarters, causing the return on the initial make-whole calculation to first increase from 12% to 13.5%. Preferred unit holders had a put right starting on July 1, 2016, which we exercised on that date with respect to all of our preferred units. Castex Energy 2005, LP, or Castex, had 90 days from the receipt of the put notice to redeem. Castex did not redeem the preferred units within 90 days of the receipt of the put notice. As a result, the make-whole of 13.5% further increased by 4.5%, to 18%, we are entitled to board observation rights as a preferred unit holder, and other covenants apply. If the preferred units are not redeemed within one year from the originally scheduled put closing date (which would be September 29, 2017), Castex and the limited partners must use commonly reasonable efforts to enter into, within 90 days, a 12% dollar denominated production payment transaction with the preferred unit holders exercising the put right, with a 3 year term for such production payment. If such production payment transaction is not consummated within 90 days, Castex must use all available resources to repay preferred interests and the preferred return steps up to 25% from that point forward. Amounts shown for principal and cost include PIK dividends that have been added to the principal balance. |
(11) | Effective July 1, 2015, ATP was placed on non-accrual status based on estimated future production payments and income is recognized to the extent cash received. |
(12) | For more information on ATP, refer to the discussion of the ATP litigation in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. |
(13) | Effective June 24, 2015, we executed a third amendment to our credit agreement with Shoreline Energy, LLC, or Shoreline, to amend certain covenant limits in exchange for increases in Shoreline's interest to the greater of LIBOR+9.25% with a 1.25% floor or prime+8.25% with a 1.25% floor, effective after March 31, 2015. The third amendment also included the |
14
addition of 0.50% payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest effective after June 30, 2015. Effective September 23, 2015, we executed a fourth amendment to our credit agreement with Shoreline to increase PIK interest to 1.75%. Effective October 22, 2015, we executed a fifth amendment to our credit agreement with Shoreline which included an addition of 0.25% PIK, four quarters of deferred amortization beginning in Q4 2015, and amendments to the leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios.
(14) | Contingent payment of up to $6.8 million was dependent upon Alden Resources, LLC’s achievement of certain sales volume and operating efficiency levels during the three-year period ended July 2014. The reporting and review mechanism to conclude the ultimate value of the earn-out has not yet been completed; however, Globe BG, LLC had informally advised us that the company’s relative cost of production has not improved between July 2011 and July 2014. |
(15) | Non-income producing equity securities. |

OHA INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2016
(unaudited)
Note 1: Organization and Recent Developments
These consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of OHA Investment Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “we,” “us,” “our” and “OHAI”). We are a specialty finance company that was organized in July 2004 as a Maryland corporation. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments that at times may have certain equity components. We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or a BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the 1940 Act. For federal income tax purposes we operate so as to be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. We have several direct and indirect subsidiaries that are single-member limited liability companies and wholly-owned limited partnerships established to hold certain portfolio investments or provide services to us in accordance with specific rules prescribed for a company operating as a RIC. We consolidate the financial results of our wholly-owned subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes, and we do not consolidate the financial results of our portfolio companies.
On September 30, 2014, our stockholders approved the appointment of Oak Hill Advisors, L.P., or OHA, as our new investment advisor, replacing NGP Investment Advisor, LP, which had been our investment advisor since our inception. In connection with this change in investment advisor, we changed our name from NGP Capital Resources Company to OHA Investment Corporation. OHA is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or the Advisers Act. OHA acts as our investment advisor and administrator pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and an administration agreement, respectively, each dated as of September 30, 2014, which we refer to as the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement, respectively. See Note 4.
Note 2: Basis of Presentation
These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OHAI and its consolidated subsidiaries. We eliminate all significant intercompany accounts and transactions upon consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
We prepare the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 946, Financial Services - Investment Company ("ASC 946"). We omit certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe we include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, so that these financial statements fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. You should read these unaudited consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Preparing interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, including the estimated fair values of our investment portfolio discussed in Note 7. Although we believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Distributions
We record distributions to stockholders on the ex-dividend date. We currently intend that our distributions each year will be sufficient to maintain our status as a RIC for federal income tax purposes and to eliminate federal excise tax liability. We currently intend to make distributions to stockholders on a quarterly basis so that substantially all of our net taxable income is distributed on an annual basis. We also intend to make distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. However, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment and designate such retained amounts as deemed distributions. Each quarter, we estimate our annual taxable earnings. The Board of Directors considers this estimate and
17

determines the distribution amount, if any. We generally declare our distributions each quarter and pay them shortly thereafter. The following table summarizes our recent distribution history:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 Interest - Imputation of Interest (“ASU 2015-03”). The pronouncement requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendment becomes effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2015. This guidance is applicable to the Company as of September 30, 2016 and there are no effects to information presented or disclosed in prior periods.
Note 3: Credit Facilities and Borrowings
We are party to a new Credit Agreement, dated September 9, 2016, with MidCap Financial, which replaced our existing Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Investment Facility"), dated May 23, 2013, as amended. As of September 9, 2016, the size of the secured term loan credit facility (the "Credit Facility") was $56.5 million with a maturity date of March 9, 2018, which can be extended for a six-month period at our option. The initial proceeds of $40.5 million from the Credit Facility were used to pay off the $38.5 million outstanding balance on our previous Investment Facility, pay transaction expenses and provide balance sheet cash. The remaining $16.0 million consists of a delayed draw term loan, which is committed for one year, and is available to us to grow our investment portfolio and operate our business.
As of September 30, 2016, the total amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was $40.5 million with $16.0 million available to draw. The total amount outstanding on the Credit Facility is shown net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.7 million on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016. Substantially all of our assets, except our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, are pledged as collateral for the obligations under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 5.35% for Eurodollar Loans, subject to a 1% LIBOR floor, and Base Rate plus 4.35% for Base Rate Loans. As of September 30, 2016, the average interest rate on our outstanding balance of $40.5 million was 6.35%.
The Credit Facility contains affirmative and reporting covenants and certain financial ratio and restrictive covenants. We have complied with these covenants from the date of the new Credit Agreement through September 30, 2016, and had no existing defaults or events of default under the Credit Facility. The financial covenants, with terms as defined in the Credit Agreement, are:
• | maintain a Maximum Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio of not more than 0.80:1.00, |
• | maintain at all times a Minimum Liquidity in the form of Cash or Cash Equivalents of at least $1.0 million, |
• | maintain a Debt to Fair Market Value Ratio of not more than 0.50:1.00 at any time, and |
• | maintain the Fair Market Value of Liquid Portfolio Investments as a percentage of outstanding aggregate principal balance to not be less than 80% through March 9, 2017, 90% through September 9, 2017 and 100% through March 9, 2018. |

OHA INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
September 30, 2016
(unaudited)
We were party to a $72.0 million Investment Facility, which went through a series of amendments to extend its maturity date and was paid down and extinguished on September 9, 2016. On May 9, 2016, we amended the Investment Facility to extend the maturity date from May 23, 2016 to July 29, 2016 (the "Extension"), and reduce the size of the Investment Facility from $72.0 million to $54.0 million. Under the Extension, we were required to use cash proceeds from any returns of capital on our portfolio investments to prepay our debt obligations under the Investment Facility. We were also permitted to accrue but were prohibited from paying management or incentive fees (excluding reimbursements to OHA for costs and expenses, or indemnification payments owed to OHA) to OHA under our Investment Advisory Agreement or Administration Agreement.
On July 28, 2016, we amended our existing Investment Facility to extend its maturity date from July 29, 2016 to September 15, 2016 (the “July Extension”). The July Extension contained substantially identical terms and conditions to the prior extension granted on May 9, 2016, but with the addition of the following: (i) a reduction of the size of the Investment Facility from $54.0 million to $42.3 million, reflecting the outstanding principal balance on July 26, 2016 and (ii) an increase in the margin rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans and Base Rate Loans to 5.25%.
As of December 31, 2015, the total amount outstanding under the Investment Facility was $72.0 million. Substantially all of our assets, except our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, were pledged as collateral for the obligations under the Investment Facility. The Investment Facility bore interest, at our option, at either (i) LIBOR plus 3.25% to 4.75%, or (ii) the base rate plus 2.25% to 3.75%, both based on our amounts outstanding.
We were party to a $30.0 million Treasury Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, or the Treasury Facility, dated March 31, 2011, as amended, with SunTrust Bank as administrative agent, that could only be used to purchase U.S. Treasury Bills. Proceeds from the Treasury Facility facilitated the growth of our investment portfolio and provided flexibility in the sizing of our portfolio investments. On September 24, 2014, we entered into a fifth amendment to the Treasury Facility, reduced the size of the Treasury Facility to $30.0 million and permitted the appointment of OHA as our investment advisor. Borrowings under the Treasury Facility bore interest, at our option, at either (i) LIBOR plus 150 basis points or (ii) the base rate plus 50 basis points. The Treasury Facility matured on September 24, 2015 and was not renewed.
The Investment Facility and the Treasury Facility contained affirmative and reporting covenants and certain financial ratio and restrictive covenants. We have complied with these covenants throughout 2015 and the period ended September 9, 2016, and had no existing defaults or events of default under either facility. The most restrictive covenants, with terms as defined in the credit agreements, are (these restrictive covenants apply to both the Investment Facility and the Treasury Facility, unless otherwise noted):
• | maintaining a ratio of net asset value to consolidated total indebtedness (excluding net hedging liabilities) of not less than 2.25:1.0, |
• | maintaining a ratio of net asset value to consolidated total indebtedness (including net hedging liabilities) of not less than 2.0:1.0, |
• | maintaining a ratio of EBITDA (excluding revenue from cash collateral) to interest expense (excluding interest on loans under the Treasury Facility) of not less than 3.0:1.0, and |
• | maintaining a ratio of collateral to the aggregate principal amount of loans under the Treasury Facility of not less than 1.02:1.0. |
On September 30, 2016, we purchased $55.0 million of U.S. Treasury bills and contemporaneously entered into a repurchase arrangement with Jefferies LLC, or Jefferies, to finance such purchase. Under the repurchase arrangement, we transferred $55.0 million of U.S. Treasury bills and $1.1 million of cash to Jefferies as collateral under the repurchase agreement. We repaid the amount borrowed under the repurchase agreement, and Jefferies returned to us the $1.1 million cash collateral, net of a $8 thousand financing fee, upon maturity of the U.S. Treasury bills on October 6, 2016. We account for the transfer of the U.S. Treasury bills under the repurchase agreement as a secured borrowing. As a result, the U.S. Treasury bills are recorded on our books as investments in U.S. Treasury bills, and the amount borrowed under the repurchase agreement is recorded as short-term debt at September 30, 2016.

Investment Advisory Agreement
On September 30, 2014, we entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with OHA, an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, pursuant to which OHA replaced NGP Investment Advisor, LP as our investment advisor. Following an initial two-year term, the term of the Investment Advisory Agreement is for successive one-year periods, provided such continuation is annually approved by our Board of Directors, a majority of whom are not “interested” persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of us. Such approval was granted on August 2, 2016. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, OHA implements our business strategy on a day-to-day basis and performs certain services for us, subject to the supervision of our Board of Directors. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, we pay OHA a fee consisting of two components — a base management fee and an incentive fee.
Base Management Fee: The base management fee is paid quarterly in arrears and is calculated by multiplying the average value of our total assets (excluding cash, cash equivalents and U.S. Treasury Bills that are purchased with borrowed funds solely for the purpose of satisfying quarter-end diversification requirements related to our election to be taxed as a RIC under the Code), as of the end of the two immediately prior fiscal quarters, by a rate of 1.75% per annum, with a 0.25% reduction in this 1.75% annual rate for the first year following September 30, 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in base management fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred $2.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in base management fees.
Incentive Fee: The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, the investment income incentive fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the fiscal quarter for which the fee is being calculated. Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income, royalty payments, net profits interest payments, and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, syndication, structuring, diligence, monitoring and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the fiscal quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Accordingly, we may pay an incentive fee based partly on accrued investment income, the collection of which is uncertain or deferred. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses, or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets (defined as total assets less liabilities at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter) is compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7% annualized). OHA receives no incentive fee for any fiscal quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate. OHA receives an incentive fee equal to 100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income for any fiscal quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% (8.75% annualized) of net assets (also referred to as the “catch up” provision) plus 20% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such fiscal quarter greater than 2.1875% (8.75% annualized) of net assets. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 we incurred $181,000 in investment income incentive fees and for the three months ended September 30, 2015 we did not incur an investment income incentive fee. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred $281,000 and $139,000, respectively, of investment income incentive fees.
The second part of the incentive fee, the capital gains fee, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or, upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date). The capital gains fee is equal to 20% of our cumulative aggregate realized capital gains from September 30, 2014 through the end of that fiscal year, computed net of our cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and cumulative aggregate unrealized depreciation on investments for the same time period. The aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees to OHA is subtracted from the capital gains incentive fee calculated. If such amount is negative, then there is no capital gains fee for such year. For the purposes of the capital gains fee, any gains and losses associated with our investment portfolio as of September 30, 2014 shall be excluded from the capital gains fee calculation. We have not incurred any capital gains fees since the Investment Advisory Agreement went into effect on September 30, 2014.
The Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by a vote of our Board of Directors or a vote of the holders of at least a majority of our outstanding voting securities (within the meaning of
20

(unaudited)
the 1940 Act) on 60 days’ written notice to OHA, and would automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment” (within the meaning of the 1940 Act). OHA may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement without penalty by providing us at least 60 days’ written notice.
Administration Agreement
On September 30, 2014, we entered into the Administration Agreement with OHA pursuant to which OHA replaced NGP Administration, LLC as our administrator and furnishes us with certain administrative services, personnel and facilities. The Administration Agreement had an initial two-year term and, on August 2, 2016, its continuation for an additional one-year period was approved by the Board. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to our allocable portion of OHA’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including all administrative services necessary for our operation and the conduct of our business. The aggregate amount of certain costs and expenses payable by us under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement for the period from October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015 was capped at $2.5 million, or the Cap; provided that interest expense and bank fees, management and incentive fees, legal and professional fees, insurance expenses, taxes and costs related to the change in investment advisor we are not subject to the Cap. The Administration Agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by a vote of our Board of Directors or by OHA upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party.
Prior to the September 30, 2014 appointment of OHA as our administrator, we had a similar administration agreement with our previous administrator, NGP Administration, LLC, with similar provisions as the Administration Agreement, except that under the previous administration agreement, (i) there was no Cap on expenses payable by us, and (ii) a portion of compensation costs of investment professionals and certain other costs were allocated to us that are not allocable to us under the Administration Agreement.
We owed $0.2 million and $0.2 million to OHA under the Administration Agreement as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, for expenses incurred on our behalf for the final month of the respective quarterly period. We include these amounts in accounts payable and accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheets.
Note 5: Federal Income Taxes
We operate so as to qualify, for tax purposes, as a RIC under Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code. As a RIC, we are generally not subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on the portion of our investment company taxable income and net capital gain (i.e., realized net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses) that we distribute to our stockholders. To qualify as a RIC, we are required, among other things, to distribute to our stockholders each year at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, and to meet certain asset-diversification requirements.
Certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, or Taxable Subsidiaries, have elected to be taxed as corporations for federal income tax purposes. The Taxable Subsidiaries hold certain of our portfolio investments and are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, but not for income tax reporting purposes. These Taxable Subsidiaries permit us to hold equity investments in portfolio companies that are “pass through” entities for tax purposes, in order to comply with the “source-of-income” requirements that must be satisfied to maintain our qualification as a RIC. The Taxable Subsidiaries may generate net income tax expense or benefit, which is reflected on our consolidated statements of operations.
Note 6: Commitments and Contingencies
As of September 30, 2016, we had investments in 16 portfolio companies totaling $204.7 million. Of these 16 investments, the Company had already funded investments in the amount of $204.7 million and there were no remaining outstanding unfunded commitments. As of December 31, 2015, we had investments in 19 portfolio companies totaling $239.3 million. Of these 19 investments, the Company had already funded investments in the amount of $239.3 million and there were no remaining outstanding unfunded commitments.
We have continuing obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement with OHA. See Note 4. The agreements provide that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, OHA and its officers, managers, agents, employees, controlling

persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with OHA will be entitled to indemnification from us for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of services under the agreements or otherwise as our investment advisor or administrator. The agreements also provide that OHA and its affiliates will not be liable to us or any stockholder for any error of judgment, mistake of law, any loss or damage with respect to any of our investments or any action taken or omitted to be taken by OHA in connection with the performance of any of its duties or obligations under the agreements or otherwise as investment advisor or administrator to us, except to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services.
In the normal course of business, we enter into a variety of undertakings containing a variety of representations that may expose us to some risk of loss. We do not expect significant losses, if any, from such undertakings.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings with certainty, we do not believe that an adverse result in any pending legal proceeding, other than those described below, individually or in the aggregate, would be material to our business, financial condition or cash flows.
ATP Litigation. On August 17, 2012, ATP Oil & Gas Corporation, or ATP, filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. Prior to the bankruptcy filing, we purchased limited term overriding royalty interests, or ORRIs, in certain offshore oil and gas producing properties operated by ATP (generally, the Gomez and Telemark properties). Credit Suisse, AG, or CS, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., or BONY, which held mortgages on ATP’s interests in the Gomez and Telemark properties at the time of the conveyances, executed certain Acts of Subordination of their liens in our favor. On August 23, 2012, on a motion filed by ATP, the bankruptcy judge presiding over ATP’s case signed an order (Bankr. Dkt. No. 191) requiring ATP to pay amounts received after August 17, 2012 to those parties it believes are entitled to receive them, including the ORRI holders, provided that the ORRI holders execute a disgorgement agreement providing for the repayment of any amounts that the bankruptcy court later finds to have been inappropriately paid. We executed the disgorgement agreement and began receiving monthly distributions in September 2012 from ATP of our share of production proceeds received by ATP after August 17, 2012.
On October 17, 2012, we filed a lawsuit against ATP styled: OHA Investment Corporation v. ATP Oil & Gas Corporation, Adv. Proc. No. 12-03443, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, seeking a declaration that the ORRIs are our property and not property of ATP and that the conveyance and purchase and sale documents are not executory contracts that may be rejected in order to remove or recharacterize our interests in the properties (the “Adversary Proceeding”). ATP filed an answer and counterclaim in which it claimed, among other things, that the ORRIs were a financing agreement and not a real property interest and that ATP was entitled to disgorge from us any and all royalties paid since the date of ATP’s bankruptcy filing. Also, certain service companies claiming statutory liens or privileges intervened for the purpose of establishing that their alleged statutory liens and privileges are superior to our rights in the ORRIs and asserting related claims for disgorgement of royalties paid to us by ATP. The issues in the Adversary Proceeding were bifurcated such that the issues of (i) whether the conveyances and transactions between us and ATP constituted outright transfers of ownership and (ii) whether the conveyances are executory contracts or leases that ATP may reject, would be tried first as “Phase 1” of the proceeding. And, any additional claims, including the service company statutory lien claims and related issues, would be decided later in “Phase 2.” Phase 1 of the litigation proceeded into the discovery stage and dispositive motion practice.
In connection with an auction and various proceedings in the bankruptcy case, CS, as administrative and collateral agent to those lenders who are parties to that certain Senior Secured Super Priority Priming Debtor in Possession Credit Agreement dated August 29, 2012, or the DIP Lenders, submitted a Credit Bid - or bid based on a reduction in the amount of ATP’s outstanding indebtedness to CS - to purchase the Telemark properties and certain other assets. On October 17, 2013, the bankruptcy court entered its Final Sale Order approving the sale (Bankr. Dkt. No. 2706) to Bennu Oil & Gas, LLC, or Bennu, a newly formed company owned by the DIP Lenders. The assets purchased included claims asserted by ATP in our pending Adversary Proceeding.
On May 20, 2014, Bennu substituted into the Adversary Proceeding for ATP with respect to any claims that relate to assets purchased from ATP. And, on June 26, 2014, the bankruptcy court entered an order converting ATP’s bankruptcy case to

(unaudited)
a case under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Rodney D. Tow was appointed as Chapter 7 Trustee of ATP’s bankruptcy estate.
Subsequently, a series of disputes arose in the main bankruptcy case and the Adversary Proceeding between us, Bennu, and the Trustee regarding who owned and/or held the right to prosecute and finally resolve the claims that were asserted by ATP against us.
On October 14, 2015, we entered into a Stipulation of Settlement and Release with the Trustee, Bennu and CS, as agent to the DIP Lenders (Adv. Dkt. No. 270, 271). Pursuant to the Stipulation, in exchange for a cash payment of $335,000 and a $3.0 million reduction/credit on the outstanding indebtedness owed by ATP to CS, the Trustee agreed (i) to dismiss any and all claims against us with prejudice, (ii) to release us from any and all claims of any nature; and (iii), among other things, that he shall not contest that the ORRIs are a real property interest and a “production payment” within the meaning of Sections 101(42A) and 541(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and that the ORRIs are not and never were property of ATP’s bankruptcy estate. The Trustee is deemed to have transferred to CS any rights he holds in claims arising under section 549 of the Bankruptcy Code, and CS and the DIP Lenders, in turn, released us from such claims. In exchange for the agreements of the Trustee and CS, we agreed to prosecute a motion to dismiss our claims against the Trustee without prejudice We released CS and the DIP Lenders from any claims relating to the ORRIs and our transaction documents, including the Acts of Subordination which were executed by CS in connection with the conveyance of the ORRIs. Prior to entering the Stipulation of Settlement and Release with the Trustee, we entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with Bennu pursuant to which, in exchange for the entry of an Agreed Judgment, we agreed to withdraw and/or release Bennu from certain claims including our claim for breach of the Acts of Subordination. On December 14, 2015, the Court entered its order approving the Stipulation, and it dismissed the Trustee’s claims with prejudice. On February 4, 2016, an Agreed Final Judgment [Adv. Dkt. No. 276] was entered determining that, among other things, the ORRIs are a real property interest and a “production payment” within the meaning of Sections 101(42A) and 541(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Likewise, our claims against ATP were dismissed without prejudice. The Agreed Judgment resolved Phase 1 of the Adversary Proceeding. It did not address any disputes between us and Bennu with respect to the proper calculation of the investment balance under the terms of the ORRIs, including our legal fees, default interest, or the claims asserted by the statutory lien claimants.
On February 3, 2016, we filed our Amended Motion to Dismiss the Complaints in Intervention Filed by the Statutory Lien Claimants [Adv. Dkt. No. 274], which was subsequently amended pursuant to a briefing schedule set by the Court [Adv. Dkt. No. 284]. The Amended Motion to Dismiss asserted, among other things, that under the terms of the applicable Louisiana Oil Well Lien Statute, the alleged statutory liens of the lien claimants either cannot attach to overriding royalties, or alternatively, that OHA purchased the ORRIs free and clear of the statutory liens because the lien claimants did not provide notice of the liens as required under the statute. We also filed a Motion to Withdraw the Reference of the Phase II Claims from the Bankruptcy Court to the District Court [Adv. Dkt. No. 278]. The lien claimants filed responses to the Amended Motion to Dismiss and the Motion to Withdraw the Reference. On May 13, 2016, the Court entered its order granting in part and denying in part OHA’s Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Withdraw Reference [Adv. Dkt. No. 294] and its Report and Recommendation and Memorandum Opinion [Adv. Dkt. No. 293]. Pursuant to the Memorandum Opinion and the order, the Court determined that under the Louisiana statute, if we purchased our ORRIs without notice of the lien claimants liens, in a bona fide transaction, we would take the ORRIs free and clear of the lien claimants’ rights [Adv. Dkt. No. 293 at 13]. The Court granted the lien claimants leave to file amended complaints to specifically plead whether we had notice of their alleged privileges at the time we paid the purchase price. To that end, the Court stated that the Amended Motion to Dismiss was denied as to all issues other than the issue of whether we had notice of the lien claimants’ liens and that the Court would review the amended complaints (to determine whether they sufficiently pleaded a claim) [Adv. Dkt. No. 294]. Pursuant to the Report and Recommendation and Memorandum Opinion, the Bankruptcy Court recommended that the District Court grant the Motion to Withdraw the Reference, but that the Adversary Proceeding remain in the Bankruptcy Court until the time of trial. After certain clarifying orders were entered by the Bankruptcy Court (in response to our motion [Adv. Dkt. No. 306]) relating to its Report and Recommendation and Memorandum Opinion, the District Court entered an order consistent with the Bankruptcy Court’s recommendation on the Motion to Withdraw the Reference.
On May 27, 2016, the Intervenors filed their amended complaints, which made new allegations with respect to the issue of notice. Accordingly, on June 9, 2016, we filed our Motion to Dismiss the amended complaints [Adv. Dkt. No. 310] asserting that the allegations regarding notice are insufficient to state a claim under the statute. On June 30, 2016, the lien

claimants filed their Response [Adv. Dkt. No. 316] in opposition to our Motion to Dismiss. On July 18, 2016, we filed our Reply in Support of the Motion to Dismiss [Adv. Dkt. No. 317].
On August 19, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered its order [Adv. Dkt. No. 325] and its related Report and Recommendation [Adv. Dkt. No. 326] dismissing, with prejudice, the Intervenors’ amended complaints. The Bankruptcy Court’s order and the related Report and Recommendation recommends, to the District Court, that Phase II of the lawsuit be fully resolved in our favor. The Report and Recommendation was docketed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Case No. 4:16-CV-02556. On September 2, 2016, certain of the Intervenors filed their Objection to Judge Isgur’s Report and Recommendation [Dist. Dkt. No. 3] arguing that the Bankruptcy Court’s conclusions were erroneous, and that the Intervenors were not required to give notice to OHA in order for their alleged liens to attach. We filed a limited objection to the Report and Recommendation arguing that the Report and Recommendation should be affirmed, but even if notice was not required under the statute, the Intervenors’ alleged liens could not have attached to the ORRIs in the first instance. The Intervenors filed a joint response [Dist. Dkt. No. 4] to our limited objection on September 15, 2016 and we filed a response to the Intervenors’ objection on September 16, 2016. We also filed a reply in support of our limited objection on September 27, 2016. The District Court has scheduled an oral argument on the parties’ objections to the Report and Recommendation to be held on November 29, 2016, at 10:00 a.m.
The dismissal of the lawsuit by the Bankruptcy Court remains subject to the District Court's review. As of September 30, 2016, our unrecovered investment was $30.3 million, and we had received aggregate royalty payments of $37.1 million since the date of ATP’s bankruptcy filing. As of September 30, 2016, we had incurred legal and consulting fees totaling $5.9 million in connection with the enforcement of our rights under the ORRIs. On various occasions, we have provided notice that such legal expenses will be added to our unrecovered investment balance to the extent they are not reimbursed. To date, we have not received any payments on account of legal expenses aside from our receipt of regular monthly production payments. As a result, we add our legal expenses to the unrecovered investment balance in accordance with our transaction documents. As of September 30, 2016, $5.4 million of the $5.9 million in legal and consulting fees have been added to, and are thus included in, the unrecovered investment balance under the terms of our transaction documents. The remaining amounts of legal and consulting fees have been expensed to legal fees, of which $25,000 and $261,000 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are included in accounts receivable and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets and are, thus, not included in the unrecovered investment balance as of such dates.
Through September 30, 2016, we received post-petition royalty payments from the Gomez properties and the Telemark properties in the amount of $8.3 million and $28.8 million, respectively. It is estimated that the statutory lien claims asserted by the intervenors in the Adversary Proceeding against our ORRIs are in the principal amount of approximately $35.2 million. At this time, we estimate that there are potential statutory lien claims (including the claims of the intervenors in the Adversary Proceeding, without regard to the validity of such claims) in the principal amount of approximately $54.2 million. We have or will assert that we have viable defenses with respect to all of the claims of the statutory lien claimants or any other claim which seeks to avoid or disgorge any pre-petition or post-petition royalty payment which we received in respect of the Telemark or Gomez properties. In the event we do not prevail on our defenses to the statutory lien claims or any other claim seeking to avoid or disgorge pre-petition or post-petition royalty payments, we contend that, pursuant to the terms of our transaction documents, we are entitled to include any amounts disgorged on account of any such claims into the unrecovered investment balance of our ORRIs. Moreover, to the extent we do not prevail on our defenses to any action brought by the holder of a statutory lien claim, we contend that we would be permitted to seek contribution from other ORRI and net profits interest holders with respect to any disgorged amounts.
However, in the event our defenses to the claims of the statutory lien claimants are unsuccessful or we otherwise become liable for disgorgement of any pre-petition or post-petition royalty payments which we have received from either the Gomez or Telemark properties, the remaining oil and gas reserves associated with the Telemark properties may be insufficient to provide for a full recovery on our investment. In the event that it is determined that we are not entitled to include amounts disgorged on account of statutory lien claims or other claims, if any, into the unrecovered investment balance of our ORRIs, any disgorged amounts will result in a failure to achieve our anticipated return and/or a loss on our investment.
While we intend to vigorously defend our legal positions in the Adversary Proceeding, there can be no assurance that we will ultimately prevail in any or all of these matters.

On August 11, 2016, an involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition was filed by Beal Bank USA against Bennu Titan LLC (formerly known as ATP Titan LLC), an indirect subsidiary of Bennu Oil & Gas, LLC, and the owner of the floating production platform in the Gulf of Mexico that processes and transports hydrocarbons produced from the Telemark properties, in which OHA owns the ORRI. An order for relief was entered on September 9, 2016, in the case styled In re Bennu Titan LLC (f/k/a ATP Titan LLC), Case No. 16-11870, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. We are not a creditor in this bankruptcy case, and it is unknown whether this case will have any effect on OHA’s ORRI or the related royalty payments.

We account for all of the assets in our investment portfolio at fair value, following the provisions of the FASB ASC Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.
On a quarterly basis, the investment team of our investment advisor prepares fair value recommendations for all of the assets in our portfolio in accordance with ASC 820 and presents them to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. The Audit Committee recommends fair values of each asset for which market quotations are not readily available to our Board of Directors, which in good faith determines the final fair value for each investment.
• | Investment Team Valuation. The investment professionals of our investment advisor prepare fair value recommendations for each investment. |
• | Investment Team Valuation Documentation. The investment team documents and discusses its preliminary fair value recommendations with the investment committee and senior management of our investment advisor. |
• | Third Party Valuation Activity. We may, at our discretion, retain an independent valuation firm to review any or all of the valuation analyses and fair value recommendations provided by the investment team of our investment advisor. Our general practice is that we have an independent valuation firm review all Level 3 investments (those whose value is determined using significant unobservable inputs) with recommended fair values in excess of $10 million on a quarterly basis, and review all Level 3 investments with recommended fair values greater than zero at least annually to provide positive assurance on our valuations. |

• | Presentation to Audit Committee. Our investment advisor and senior management present the valuation analyses and fair value recommendations to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. |
• | Board of Directors and Audit Committee. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee review and discuss the valuation analyses and fair value recommendations provided by the investment team of our investment advisor and the independent valuation firm, if applicable. |
• | Final Valuation Determination. Our Board of Directors discusses the fair values recommended by the Audit Committee and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio for which market quotations are not readily available, in good faith, based on the input of the investment team of our investment advisor, our Audit Committee and the independent valuation firm, if applicable. |
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that a seller would receive for an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date. The fair value definition focuses on exit price in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes the use of observable market inputs over unobservable entity-specific inputs. In accordance with ASC 820, we categorize our investments based on the inputs to our valuation methodologies as follows:
• | Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which we have access at the date of measurement. |
• | Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers. |
• | Level 3 — Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect our own assumptions regarding what market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information. |
Fair value accounting classifies financial assets and liabilities in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the estimated fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment that may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. We did not have any liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015. Amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility are carried at amortized cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2016, the estimated fair value of our Credit Facility approximated its carrying value of $39.3 million. As of December 31, 2015, the carrying value of our Investment Facility was $72.0 million and the estimated fair value was $69.3 million. The estimated fair value of the Credit Facility is determined by discounting projected remaining payments using market interest rates for borrowings of the Company.
We record investments in securities for which market quotations are readily available at such market quotations in our financial statements as of the valuation date. For investments in securities for which market quotations are unavailable, or which have various degrees of trading restrictions, the investment team of our investment advisor prepares valuation analyses and fair value estimates, using the most recently available financial statements, forecasts and, when applicable, comparable transaction data. These valuation analyses rely on estimates of the asset values and enterprise values of portfolio companies issuing securities.
The methodologies for determining asset valuations include estimates based on: the liquidation or sale value of a portfolio company’s assets, the discounted value of expected future net cash flows from the assets and third party valuations of a portfolio company’s assets, such as asset appraisal reports, futures prices and engineering reserve reports of oil and natural gas properties. The investment team of our investment advisor considers some or all of the above valuation methods to determine the estimated asset value of a portfolio company.
The methodologies for determining enterprise valuations include estimates based on: valuations of comparable companies, recent sales of comparable companies, the value of recent investments in the equity securities of a portfolio

company and on the methodologies used for asset valuations. The investment team of our investment advisor considers some or all of the above valuation methods to determine the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company.
The methodologies for determining estimated current market values of comparable securities include estimates based on: recent initial offerings of comparable securities of public and private companies; recent secondary market sales of comparable securities of public and private companies; current market implied interest rates for comparable securities in general; and current market implied interest rates for non-comparable securities in general, with adjustments for such elements as size of issue, terms, and liquidity. The investment team of our investment advisor considers some or all of the above valuation methods to determine the estimated current market value of a comparable security.
For some of our securities, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 valuation inputs) or other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayments, credit risk, etc. (Level 2 valuation inputs) are readily available from independent sources and are used to value such securities. For other securities, there will be no readily available Level 1 or Level 2 pricing information, and therefore significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 valuation inputs), including the assumptions of OHA, must be relied upon in determining fair value for these securities.
If prices or quotes for securities are either not readily available, or a price or quote is deemed not reflective of the security’s fair market value, we employ a fair valuation technique for that security. In determining the fair value of a security, we may take into consideration (either individually or in combination) the financial condition and operating results of the underlying portfolio company, nature of the investment, restrictions on marketability, liquidity, market conditions, earnings multiple analyses using comparable companies, discounted cash flow analyses, appraisals, and other factors we deem appropriate.
Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the fair values of our investments may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Additionally, changes in the market environment, portfolio company performance and other events that may occur over the lives of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on our investments to be materially different than the valuations currently assigned.
We occasionally have investments in our portfolio that contain payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest or dividend provisions. We compute PIK interest income or PIK dividend income at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement, and we add that amount to the principal balance of the investment. For investments with PIK interest or PIK dividends, we calculate our income accruals on the principal balance plus any PIK amounts. If the portfolio company’s projected cash flows, further supported by estimated total enterprise value, are not sufficient to cover the contractual principal and interest or dividend amounts, as applicable, we do not accrue PIK interest income or PIK dividend income on the investment. To maintain our RIC status, we must pay out this non-cash income to stockholders in the form of distributions, even though we have not yet collected the cash. We recorded net PIK interest income of $0.1 million and $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We recorded PIK dividend income from our investment in Castex Energy 2005, LP, of $1.0 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and did not record any PIK dividend income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Note 8: Common Stock
On October 31, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, repurchase up to $10.0 million of our common stock in the open market at prices not to exceed the net asset value of our shares. During 2012 and 2013, we repurchased an aggregate of 1,129,014 shares of our common stock in the open market at an average price of $6.71 per share, totaling $7.6 million, in accordance with the stock repurchase plan. These repurchases were made at approximate discounts to our most recently published net asset value of 30%, 26% and 28% in May and November 2012 and May 2013, respectively.
In March 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to the remaining $2.4 million available to be repurchased under this plan. As of July 14, 2015, we completed the stock repurchases under the stock repurchase plan. During 2015, we repurchased a total of 444,030 shares for $2.4 million at a weighted average price of $5.46 per share, a 27% discount to net asset value at December 31, 2014. Repurchases initiated after March 31, 2015 were made pursuant to a plan executed in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our current Credit Facility does not allow us to repurchase common stock.

Overview
We are a specialty finance company designed to provide our investors with current income and capital appreciation. We focus primarily on providing creative direct lending solutions to middle market private companies across industry sectors. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments that at times may have certain equity components. Our investment activities are managed by OHA and supervised by our Board of Directors, the majority of whose members are independent of OHA and its affiliates.
OHA (and its affiliated investment advisors and predecessor firms) continues to build on its over 20-year history of investing in various asset classes and believes that its past success is a reflection of the firm’s consistent investment philosophy, strategy and process. As our investment advisor, OHA seeks to expand our portfolio’s exposure to a broader range of industries beyond energy, focusing on the middle market. OHA believes that middle market companies are generally less able to secure financing from public financial markets than larger companies and thus offer better return opportunities for firms able to originate and structure these investments, along with conducting the necessary diligence to appropriately evaluate these opportunities.
32
OHA expects that most of our new investments will be in senior and junior secured, unsecured and subordinated debt securities in U.S. private and small public middle market companies with maturities ranging from three to seven years. However, OHA seeks to identify attractive investments throughout the capital structure and thus may invest in equity, distressed debt, residual interests of collateralized loan obligation funds, or CLOs, and other assets. We may invest in newly issued securities and acquire investments in the secondary market. We do not currently intend to invest in mortgage-related structured products.
On September 30, 2014, our stockholders approved the appointment of OHA as our investment advisor, replacing NGP Investment Advisor, LP, which had been our investment advisor since our inception. In connection with this change in investment advisor, we changed our name from NGP Capital Resources Company to OHA Investment Corporation. OHA is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. OHA acts as our investment advisor and administrator pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and an administration agreement, respectively, each dated as of September 30, 2014, which we refer to as the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement, respectively.
The aggregate fair value of our investment portfolio at September 30, 2016 was $131.1 million, with such value comprised of 13 active portfolio investments compared to 10 active portfolio investments at September 30, 2014. Under our previous investment advisor, we focused our investments primarily on small and mid-size companies engaged in the upstream sector of the energy industry, which includes businesses that find, develop and extract energy resources, such as natural gas, crude oil and coal. Consequently, a significant portion of our current investment portfolio value is comprised of debt securities and other investments in upstream exploration and production companies engaged in the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas properties in and along the Gulf Coast, and in the state and federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Part of our current investment approach is to reduce our portfolio concentration in the energy industry and to diversify our portfolio with investments in debt securities of U.S. private and small public middle market companies across various industry sectors. The concentration of our investment portfolio in the energy sector decreased to 40% at September 30, 2016 from 74% at September 30, 2014, on a fair value basis.
Our historical focus and current concentration in the energy sector causes our portfolio to be particularly influenced by commodity prices for oil and natural gas, which declined dramatically during the fourth quarter of 2014 and remain significantly lower than they have been in recent years. Further decline in commodity prices or increased volatility in the energy markets, particularly in North America, may further significantly affect the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of our energy-related portfolio companies and their ability to meet financial commitments, which would negatively impact the fair values of our energy-related investments in such companies and, in turn, our net asset value. These factors may also extend the holding period for such investments, thus impacting our ability to reduce the concentration of energy investments in our portfolio.
Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors. Some of these factors are the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of acquisition and divestiture activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make, and our own ability to raise capital to fund our investments, both through the issuance of debt and equity securities. If a substantial portion of our investment portfolio were to be realized in the near term, no assurance can be given that OHA will be able to source sufficient appropriate investments for us to timely replace the investment income from the realized investments.
Portfolio and Investment Activity
In January 2016, we purchased a $1.7 million second lien term loan to Berlin Packaging, or Berlin, adding to our $5.5 million position that was previously acquired in December 2015. The $1.7 million Berlin loan was purchased at a 5.0% discount, earns interest payable in cash at a rate of 7.75% per annum (LIBOR+6.75% with a 1.0% floor) and matures in October 2022.
In March 2016, we sold $0.5 million of the second lien term loan of Stardust Financial Holdings, Inc., an affiliate of Hanson Building Products, or Hanson, at a price of $97.0, resulting in a realized capital gain of $24 thousand or $0.00 per share. In April and May 2016, we sold an additional $5.4 million of the Hanson second lien term loan at an average price of $98.5, resulting in realized capital gains of $0.2 million or $0.01 per share. This investment generated a gross internal rate of return of 16.1% and a return on investment of 1.17x.
33
In April 2016, KOVA International, Inc., or KOVA, repaid its senior subordinated notes in the amount of $9.0 million. We recorded previously unamortized original issue discount of $0.1 million as additional interest income as a result of this repayment. This investment was initiated in February 2013 and generated a gross internal rate of return of 14.8% and a return on investment of 1.45x.
In June 2016, we sold our 800 Membership Units representing 80% of the common equity of Contour Highwall Holdings, LLC, or Contour, for $1.4 million, net of transaction costs of $0.1 million. In connection with this transaction, the senior secured term loan and the unsecured promissory note of Contour were extinguished. The initial investment was made in October 2010 and this transaction resulted in a realized loss of $10.1 million.
In July 2016, WP Mustang (Electronic Funds Services, LLC), or EFS, repaid its second lien term loan in the amount of $10.0 million. We recorded previously unamortized discount of $0.1 million as additional interest income as a result of this repayment. This investment was initiated in December 2014 and generated a gross internal rate of return of 11.0% and a return on investment of 1.17x.
In August 2016, Appriss Holdings, Inc., or Appriss, repaid part of its second lien term loan in the amount of $3.8 million. We recorded previously unamortized discount of $0.05 million as additional interest income as a result of this repayment.
In 2011 and 2012, we purchased from ATP Oil & Gas Corporation, or ATP, limited-term overriding royalty interests, or ORRIs, in certain offshore oil and gas producing properties operated by ATP in the Gulf of Mexico, including $25.0 million paid on July 3, 2012. Under this arrangement, we purchased the right to portions (ranging from 5.0% to 10.8%) of the monthly production proceeds from the various oil and gas properties subject to the ORRIs in ATP’s Gomez and Telemark properties. The terms of the ORRIs provide that they will terminate after we receive production payments that equal a defined sum calculated (generally) based on our investment in the ORRIs plus a time-value factor at a rate of 13.2% per annum. On August 17, 2012, ATP filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. For more information, please refer to the discussion of the ATP Litigation under the heading “Legal Proceedings” in Note 6 to our interim consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2016, our unrecovered investment was $30.3 million, and we had received aggregate production payments of $37.1 million subject to a disgorgement agreement. In addition, as of September 30, 2016, we had incurred legal and consulting fees totaling $5.9 million in connection with the enforcement of our rights under the ORRIs. On various occasions, we have provided notice that such legal expenses will be added to our unrecovered investment balance to the extent they are not reimbursed. To date, we have not received any payments on account of legal expenses aside from our receipt of regular monthly production payments. We add our legal expenses to the unrecovered investment balance in accordance with our transaction documents. As of September 30, 2016, $5.4 million of the $5.9 million in legal and consulting fees have been added to, and are thus included in, the unrecovered investment balance under the terms of our transaction documents. The remaining amounts of legal and consulting fees have been expensed to legal fees, of which $25,000 and $261,000 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are included in accounts receivable and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets and are, thus, not included in the unrecovered investment balance as of such dates.
Investments are considered to be fully realized when the original investment at the security level has been fully exited. Internal rate of return, or IRR, is a measure of our discounted cash flows (inflows and outflows). Specifically, IRR is the discount rate at which the net present value of all cash flows is equal to zero. That is, IRR is the discount rate at which the present value of total capital invested in our investments is equal to the present value of all realized returns from the investments. Our IRR calculations are unaudited. Capital invested, with respect to an investment, represents the aggregate cost of the investment, net of any upfront fees paid at closing. Realized returns, with respect to an investment, represents the total cash received with respect to an investment, including all amortization payments, interest, dividends, prepayment fees, administrative fees, amendment fees, accrued interest, and other fees and proceeds. Gross IRR, with respect to an investment, is calculated based on the dates that we invested capital and dates we received distributions. Gross IRR reflects historical results relating to our past performance and is not necessarily indicative of our future results. In addition, gross IRR does not reflect the effect of management fees, expenses, incentive fees or taxes borne, or to be borne, by us or our stockholders, and would be lower if it did.
The table below shows our portfolio investments by type for the periods indicated. We compute yields on investments using interest rates as of the balance sheet date and include amortization of original issue discount and market premium or discount, royalty income and other similar investment income, weighted by their respective costs when averaged. Such weighted average yields are not necessarily indicative of expected total returns on a portfolio.

Of those fair value totals, approximately $76.4 million, or 58.2%, as of September 30, 2016, and $107.3 million, or 61.4%, as of December 31, 2015 are determined using significant unobservable (i.e., Level 3) inputs.
Results of Operations
Investment Income
Investment income includes interest on our investments, dividend income and royalty income. Dividend income is income we receive from certain of our equity investments. Royalty income is net of amortization that we receive in connection with certain of our investments. Other income includes prepayment fees and modification fees we receive in connection with certain of our investments. These fees are recognized as earned.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, total investment income was $4.3 million, a 15% decrease from $5.1 million of total investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in average portfolio investment balance on a cost basis and a decrease in the weighted average yield on our investment portfolio from September 30, 2015 to September 30, 2016.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, total investment income was $13.9 million, a 12% decrease from $15.8 million of total investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.8 million decrease in investment income related to non-accrual assets and a decrease in the weighted average yield on our investment portfolio, partially offset by an increase in average portfolio investment balance on a cost basis from September 30, 2015 to September 30, 2016.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses include interest expense and our allocable portion of operating expenses incurred on our behalf by our investment advisor and our administrator. Other general and administrative expenses include our allocated share of employee, facilities, and stockholder services incurred by our administrator.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, operating expenses decreased by 12.5% to $2.6 million from $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Interest expense and bank fees decreased by 20.6% to $0.8 million from $1.0 million compared to the same period in the prior year largely due to decreased weighted average debt outstanding of $14.9 million, partially offset by higher rates. Management and incentive fees increased by 17.2% to $0.9 million from $0.8 million due to higher incentive fees incurred partially offset by lower base management fees due to a lower average asset base subject to the base management fee as of September 30, 2016. Other general and administrative expenses decreased by 47.3% to $0.4 million from $0.7 million primarily due to a decrease in employee related expenses in the 2016 period and settlement expenses related to our ATP legal proceedings in the 2015 period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, operating expenses decreased by 0.8% to $8.9 million from $9.0 million. Interest expense and bank fees increased by 11.7% to $2.8 million from $2.5 million compared to the same period in the prior year largely due to increased weighted average debt outstanding of $10.1 million, partially offset by higher rates and $0.1 million in extension fees incurred in the current period. Management and incentive fees increased by 12.9% to $2.6 million from $2.3 million primarily due to higher incentive fees incurred and higher base management fees due to the expiration of the 0.25% reduction in the base management fee rate on September 30, 2015. Other general and administrative expenses decreased by 31.5% to $1.6 million from $2.3 million primarily due to a decrease in employee related expenses in the 2016 period and settlement expenses related to our ATP legal proceedings in the 2015 period.
Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the investment income incentive fee is calculated quarterly at a rate of 20% of quarterly net investment income above a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7% annualized) with a “catch up” provision. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 we incurred $181,000 in investment income incentive fees and for the three months ended September 30, 2015 we did not incur an investment income incentive fee. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred $281,000 and $139,000, respectively, of investment income incentive fees.

Net Realized Gains and Losses
Net realized gains and losses is the difference between the net proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their stated costs. Realized losses may also be recorded in connection with our determination that certain investments are considered worthless securities and/or meet the conditions for loss recognition per the applicable tax rules.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, we did not realize a capital loss or gain on our investments. In the comparable 2015 period, we realized capital losses related to our investment in Myriant, partially offset by a capital gain in Huff.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we realized a capital loss of $10.1 million related to the sale of our equity interest in Contour and the extinguishment of the associated senior secured term loan. This realized capital loss was partially offset by a realized capital gain related to the sale of the $5.8 million Hanson second lien term loan. In the comparable 2015 period, we realized capital gains related to our investments in Spirit and Huff, which were partially offset by the expiration of our Myriant warrants.
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments
Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation is the net change in the fair value of our investments during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

Control Investments
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, there was no change in the unrealized depreciation or appreciation of our investments. In the comparable 2015 period, the increase in net unrealized depreciation was due to a decrease in the fair value of our Contour Highwall Holdings, LLC, or Contour, investment of $1.0 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in net unrealized appreciation in our control investment was attributable to the reversal of unrealized depreciation, due to realization, on our investments in Contour. In the comparable 2015 period, we recognized net unrealized depreciation of $4.2 million which was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of our Contour and Spirit investments of $3.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Affiliate Investments
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in net unrealized depreciation on our affiliate investments was attributable to a decrease in the fair value of our investment in OCI. In the comparable 2015 period, we recognized net unrealized appreciation of $0.2 million due to an increase in the estimated fair value of our investment in OCI.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in net unrealized depreciation on our affiliate investments was attributable to a decrease in the fair value of our investment in OCI.

Non-Affiliate Investments
37
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in net unrealized depreciation on our non-affiliate investments was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of our investments in Castex of $5.4 million, ATP of $1.4 million and Shoreline of $0.5 million. This was partially offset by an increase in fair value of our investments in Talos Production LLC, or Talos, of $1.3 million, TIBCO of $0.9 million, Gramercy Park CLO Ltd., or Gramercy, of $0.6 million, Royal Adhesives, or Royal, of $0.6 million, Appriss Holdings, or Appriss, of $0.5 million and other investments totaling a net $0.4 million. In the comparable 2015 period, the increase in net unrealized depreciation was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of our investments in Castex of $3.1 million, Talos of $2.3 million, ATP of $1.6 million, Gramercy of $0.6 million and other investments totaling a net of $0.7 million. This was partially offset by increases in fair value of our investments of $0.3 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in net unrealized depreciation on our non-affiliate investments was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of our investments in Castex of $12.7 million and Shoreline of $9.1 million. This was partially offset by an increase in fair value of our investment in Appriss of $0.5 million, TIBCO of $0.5 million, Talos of $0.4 million, Berlin of $0.4 million, ATP of $0.3 million, Gramercy of $0.3 million and a reversal due to realization related to KOVA of $1.0 million. In the comparable 2015 period, we recognized net unrealized depreciation of $13.0 million primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of our investments in ATP of $6.4 million, Talos of $2.8 million, Castex of $1.9 million, Shoreline Energy, LLC of $1.6 million, and KOVA International, Inc. of $1.2 million. This was partially offset by increases in fair value of our investments in Hanson of $0.3 million and other investments totaling $0.4 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to the $4.4 million increase in unrealized gains on our investments, which was partially offset by the $0.4 million decrease in net investment income.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the net decrease in net assets resulting from operations compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to the $1.9 million decrease in net investment income and $10.1 million decrease in net realized capital gains and losses, which was partially offset by the $7.0 million increase in unrealized losses on our investments, as described above.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $2.9 million. Our portfolio may consist of temporary investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, repurchase agreements, money market funds or repurchase agreement-like treasury securities. These temporary investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are deemed cash equivalents and are included in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. At the end of each fiscal quarter, we may take proactive steps to preserve investment flexibility for the next quarter by investing in cash equivalents, which is dependent upon the composition of our total assets at quarter-end. We may accomplish this in several ways, including purchasing U.S. Treasury Bills and closing out positions on a net cash basis after quarter-end, drawing down on an investment or credit facility, or utilizing repurchase agreements or other balance sheet transactions as are deemed appropriate for this purpose. These amounts are excluded from adjusted gross assets for purposes of computing the Investment Adviser's management fee.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our increase of net cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to increased proceeds from redemptions or sale of investments in portfolio securities and decreased purchases of investments in portfolio securities. Proceeds from the realization of portfolio investments totaled $30.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $17.5 million during the comparable 2015 period. Purchases of portfolio investments totaled $1.8 million as compared to $48.7 million in the comparable 2015 period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we had net cash outflows from operations of $24.6 million, excluding net purchases and redemptions of portfolio investments, compared to $13.1 million net cash outflows during the
38
comparable period of 2015. The lower amount of cash generated from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily attributable to timing differences involving normal operational activity between the two periods and fluctuations in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on our portfolio investments.
Our increase of net cash used by financing activities is primarily due to increased paydown activity as compared to borrowing activity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we paid cash distributions totaling $4.8 million, or $0.24 share, to our common stockholders. In 2016, we declared a third quarter distribution totaling $1.2 million, or $0.06 per share, which was paid in October 2016. We currently intend to continue to distribute, out of assets legally available for distribution and as determined by our Board of Directors, in the form of quarterly distributions, a minimum of 90% of our annual investment company taxable income to our stockholders.
Credit Facilities and Borrowings
We are party to a new Credit Agreement, dated September 9, 2016, with MidCap Financial, which replaced our existing Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Investment Facility"), dated May 23, 2013, as amended. As of September 9, 2016, the size of the secured term loan credit facility (the "Credit Facility") was $56.5 million with a maturity date of March 9, 2018, which can be extended for a six-month period at our option. The initial proceeds of $40.5 million from the Credit Facility were used to pay off the $38.5 million outstanding balance on our previous Investment Facility, pay transaction expenses and provide balance sheet cash. The remaining $16.0 million consists of a delayed draw term loan, which is committed for one year, and is available to us to grow our investment portfolio and operate our business.
As of September 30, 2016, the total amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was $40.5 million with $16.0 million available to draw. The total amount outstanding on the Credit Facility is shown net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.7 million on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016. Substantially all of our assets, except our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, are pledged as collateral for the obligations under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 5.35% for Eurodollar Loans, subject to a 1% LIBOR floor, and Base Rate plus 4.35% for Base Rate Loans. As of September 30, 2016, the average interest rate on our outstanding balance of $40.5 million was 6.35%.
The Credit Facility contains affirmative and reporting covenants and certain financial ratio and restrictive covenants. We have complied with these covenants from the date of the new Credit Agreement through September 30, 2016, and had no existing defaults or events of default under the Credit Facility. The financial covenants, with terms as defined in the Credit Agreement, are:
• | maintain a Maximum Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio of not more than 0.80:1.00, |
• | maintain at all times a Minimum Liquidity in the form of Cash or Cash Equivalents of at least $1.0 million, |
• | maintain a Debt to Fair Market Value Ratio of not more than 0.50:1.00 at any time, and |
• | maintain the Fair Market Value of Liquid Portfolio Investments as a percentage of outstanding aggregate principal balance to not be less than 80% through March 9, 2017, 90% through September 9, 2017 and 100% through March 9, 2018. |
We were party to a $72.0 million Investment Facility, which went through a series of amendments to extend its maturity date and was paid down and extinguished on September 9, 2016. On May 9, 2016, we amended the Investment Facility to extend the maturity date from May 23, 2016 to July 29, 2016 (the "Extension"), and reduce the size of the Investment Facility from $72.0 million to $54.0 million. Under the Extension, we were required to use cash proceeds from any returns of capital on our portfolio investments to prepay our debt obligations under the Investment Facility. We were also permitted to accrue but were prohibited from paying management or incentive fees (excluding reimbursements to OHA for costs and expenses, or indemnification payments owed to OHA) to OHA under our Investment Advisory Agreement or Administration Agreement.
On July 28, 2016, we amended our existing Investment Facility to extend its maturity date from July 29, 2016 to September 15, 2016 (the “July Extension”). The July Extension contained substantially identical terms and conditions to the prior extension granted on May 9, 2016, but with the addition of the following: (i) a reduction of the size of the Investment Facility from $54.0 million to $42.3 million, reflecting the outstanding principal balance on July 26, 2016 and (ii) an increase in the margin rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans and Base Rate Loans to 5.25%.
As of December 31, 2015, the total amount outstanding under the Investment Facility was $72.0 million. Substantially all of our assets, except our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, were pledged as collateral for the obligations under the Investment Facility. The Investment Facility bore interest, at our option, at either (i) LIBOR plus 3.25% to 4.75%, or (ii) the base rate plus 2.25% to 3.75%, both based on our amounts outstanding.
39
We were party to a $30.0 million Treasury Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, or the Treasury Facility, dated March 31, 2011, as amended, with SunTrust Bank as administrative agent, that could only be used to purchase U.S. Treasury Bills. Proceeds from the Treasury Facility facilitated the growth of our investment portfolio and provided flexibility in the sizing of our portfolio investments. On September 24, 2014, we entered into a fifth amendment to the Treasury Facility, reduced the size of the Treasury Facility to $30.0 million and permitted the appointment of OHA as our investment advisor. Borrowings under the Treasury Facility bore interest, at our option, at either (i) LIBOR plus 150 basis points or (ii) the base rate plus 50 basis points. The Treasury Facility matured on September 24, 2015 and was not renewed.
The Investment Facility and the Treasury Facility contained affirmative and reporting covenants and certain financial ratio and restrictive covenants. We have complied with these covenants throughout 2015 and the period ended September 9, 2016, and had no existing defaults or events of default under either facility. The most restrictive covenants, with terms as defined in the credit agreements, are (these restrictive covenants apply to both the Investment Facility and the Treasury Facility, unless otherwise noted):
• | maintaining a ratio of net asset value to consolidated total indebtedness (excluding net hedging liabilities) of not less than 2.25:1.0, |
• | maintaining a ratio of net asset value to consolidated total indebtedness (including net hedging liabilities) of not less than 2.0:1.0, |
• | maintaining a ratio of EBITDA (excluding revenue from cash collateral) to interest expense (excluding interest on loans under the Treasury Facility) of not less than 3.0:1.0, and |
• | maintaining a ratio of collateral to the aggregate principal amount of loans under the Treasury Facility of not less than 1.02:1.0. |
On September 30, 2016, we purchased $55.0 million of U.S. Treasury bills and contemporaneously entered into a repurchase arrangement with Jefferies LLC, or Jefferies, to finance such purchase. Under the repurchase arrangement, we transferred $55.0 million of U.S. Treasury bills and $1.1 million of cash to Jefferies as collateral under the repurchase agreement. We repaid the amount borrowed under the repurchase agreement, and Jefferies returned to us the $1.1 million cash collateral, net of a $8 thousand financing fee, upon maturity of the U.S. Treasury bills on October 6, 2016. We account for the transfer of the U.S. Treasury bills under the repurchase agreement as a secured borrowing. As a result, the U.S. Treasury bills are recorded on our books as investments in U.S. Treasury bills, and the amount borrowed under the repurchase agreement is recorded as short-term debt at September 30, 2016.
Distributions
We have elected to operate our business to be taxed as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, we generally are not required to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders as distributions. To maintain our RIC status, we must meet specific source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute annually an amount equal to at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income” (which generally consists of ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, reduced by deductible expenses) and net tax-exempt interest. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income (i.e., realized capital gains in excess of realized capital losses) for the one-year period ended on October 31 of that calendar year, and (3) 100% of any ordinary income or capital gain net income not distributed in prior years and on which we did not pay corporate-level federal income taxes. We currently intend to make sufficient distributions to satisfy the annual distribution requirement and to avoid the excise taxes.
We determine the tax characteristics of our distributions to stockholders as of the end of the fiscal year, based on the taxable income for the full year and distributions paid during the year. Taxable income available for distribution differs from consolidated net investment income under GAAP due to (i) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, (ii) capital gains and losses, (iii) activity at taxable subsidiaries, and (iv) the timing and period of recognition regarding distributions declared in December of one year and paid in January of the following year. We (or the applicable withholding agent) report the tax characteristics of distributions paid annually to each stockholder on Form 1099-DIV after the end of the year.
We may not achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage test for borrowings when applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act and due to provisions in our Investment Facility. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including
40
possible loss of our status as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions or distributions at any specific level.
Portfolio Credit Quality
At September 30, 2016, most of our portfolio investments were in negotiated, and often illiquid, securities of middle market businesses, with a concentration in the energy industry. As of September 30, 2016, we had certain investments related to three portfolio companies on non-accrual status with an aggregate cost and fair value of $57.5 million and $12.3 million, respectively. Our investments in Contour and Spirit were placed on non-accrual status during the fourth quarter of 2014. Effective July 1, 2015, ATP was placed on non-accrual status based on estimated future production payments, and income is recognized to the extent cash received. In March 2016, Shoreline management notified us that they would not make their April 2016 interest payment and as a result we placed our investment in Shoreline on non-accrual status in January 2016. Our portfolio investments at fair value were approximately 64.0% and 73.0% of the related cost basis as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
