MONROE CAPITAL CORPORATION
CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS - (continued)
(unaudited)
December 31, 2022
(in thousands, except for shares and units)
(˄) All of the Company’s investments are issued by eligible portfolio companies, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), unless otherwise noted. All of the Company’s investments are issued by U.S. portfolio companies unless otherwise noted.
(˄˄) The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”), Prime Rate (“Prime” or “P”), or Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “SF”) which reset daily, monthly, quarterly, or semiannually. For each such investment, the Company has provided the spread over LIBOR, Prime, or SOFR and the current contractual interest rate in effect at December 31, 2022. Certain investments may be subject to an interest rate floor or rate cap. Certain investments contain a Payment-in-Kind (“PIK”) provision.
(˄˄˄) Except as otherwise noted, all of the Company’s portfolio company investments, which as of December 31, 2022 represented 240.4% of the Company’s net assets or 95.8% of the Company’s total assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales.
(˄˄˄˄) Because there is no readily available market value for these investments, the fair value of these investments is determined in good faith using significant unobservable inputs by the Valuation Designee. (See Note 4 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.)
(˄˄˄˄˄) Percentages are based on net assets of $225,019 as of December 31, 2022.
(~) The Company structures its unitranche secured loans as senior secured loans. The Company obtains security interests in the assets of these portfolio companies that serve as collateral in support of the repayment of these loans. This collateral may take the form of first-priority liens on the assets of a portfolio company. Generally, the Company syndicates a “first out” portion of the loan to an investor and retains a “last out” portion of the loan, in which case the “first out” portion of the loan will generally receive priority with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. Unitranche structures combine characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured as well as second lien and subordinated loans and the Company’s unitranche secured loans will expose the Company to the risks associated with second lien and subordinated loans and may limit the Company’s recourse or ability to recover collateral upon a portfolio company’s bankruptcy. Unitranche secured loans typically provide for moderate loan amortization in the initial years of the facility, with the majority of the amortization deferred until loan maturity. Unitranche secured loans generally allow the borrower to make a large lump sum payment of principal at the end of the loan term, and there is a risk of loss if the borrower is unable to pay the lump sum or refinance the amount owed at maturity. In many cases the Company, together with its affiliates, are the sole or majority lender of these unitranche secured loans, which can afford the Company additional influence with a borrower in terms of monitoring and, if necessary, remediation in the event of underperformance.
(<) Represents less than 5% ownership of the portfolio company’s voting securities.
(<<) As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be an “Affiliated Person” of the portfolio company as it owns 5% or more of the portfolio company’s voting securities. See Note 5 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on transactions in which the issuer was an Affiliated Person (but not a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to control).
(<<<) As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be both an “Affiliated Person” of and to “Control” this portfolio company as it owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s voting securities. See Note 5 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on transactions in which the issuer was both an Affiliated Person and a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to Control.
(#) This investment is treated as a non-qualifying investment under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of December 31, 2022, non-qualifying assets totaled 24.7% of the Company’s total assets.
(##) Represents a non-income producing security.
(###) Ownership of certain equity investments may occur through a holding company or partnership.
(####) Investment is held by a taxable subsidiary of the Company. See Note 2 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries.
(*) All or a portion of this commitment was unfunded at December 31, 2022. As such, interest is earned only on the funded portion of this commitment.
(**) This delayed draw loan requires that certain financial covenants be met by the portfolio company prior to any fundings.
(***) This position was on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2022, meaning that the Company has ceased accruing interest income on the position. See Note 2 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s accounting policies.
(a) This investment represents a note convertible to preferred shares of the borrower.
(b) This loan is denominated in Australian dollars and is translated into U.S. dollars as of the valuation date.
(c) This is an international company.
(d) During 2020, an arbitrator issued a final award in favor of the estate of Rockdale Blackhawk, LLC (the “Estate”) in the legal proceeding between the Estate and a national insurance carrier. The Company’s share of the net proceeds from the award exceeded the contractual obligations due to the Company as a result of the Company’s right to receive excess proceeds pursuant to the terms of a sharing agreement between the lenders and the Estate. This investment is a non-income producing security.
(e) This is a demand note with no stated maturity.
(f) As of December 31, 2022, the Company was party to a subscription agreement with a commitment to fund an additional equity investment of $16.
(g) The fair value of this investment was valued using Level 1 inputs. See Note 4 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.
(h) During 2021, the Company sold its investment in Luxury Optical Holdings Co. The remaining fair value at December 31, 2022 represents the remaining expected escrow proceeds associated with the sale.
(i) As of December 31, 2022, the Company was party to a subscription agreement with a commitment to fund an equity investment of $43.
(j) The Company restructured its investments in HFZ Capital Group LLC (“HFZ”) and HFZ Member RB portfolio, LLC (“Member RB”) during 2020. As part of the restructuring of HFZ, the Company obtained a 15.9% equity interest in MC Asset Management (Corporate), LLC (“Corporate”). As part of the Member RB restructuring, the Company exchanged its loan in Member RB for a promissory note in MC Asset Management (Industrial), LLC (“Industrial”). Corporate owns 100% of the equity of Industrial. In conjunction with these restructurings, the Company participated $4,758 of principal of its loan to HFZ as an equity contribution to Industrial. This participation did not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860–Transfers and Servicing because the sale did not meet the definition of a “participating interest”, as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. As a result, the Company continues to reflect its full investment in HFZ but has split the loan into two investments.
(k) During the year ended December 31, 2022, Curion Holdings, LLC (“Curion”) sold the underlying operating company and repaid the Company’s debt investment. The remaining fair value at December 31, 2022 represents the remaining expected escrow proceeds associated with the sale. The Company continues to hold an equity investment in Curion that is valued at zero at December 31, 2022. This investment is a non-income producing security.
(l) As of December 31, 2022, the Company was party to a subscription agreement with a commitment to fund an additional equity investment of $183.
