(1) The management fee per year for both PWAY and TPIC is 2% of assets per year. FLEX’s management fee is 1.75% of assets per year.
(2) Certain expenses have been adjusted to recognize costs of duplicative services and other merger generated efficiencies in costs related to administration, accounting, legal, insurance and other costs.
(3) Certain expenses that were incurred and expensed as of March 31, 2019 as part of the Merger have been adjusted as these are a one time expense.
(4) Under the Expense Limitation Agreement dated as of March 31, 2019 (the “FLEX ELA”) between FLEX and Prospect Flexible Income Management, LLC, FLEX’s investment adviser (the “New Investment Adviser”), the New Investment Adviser, in its sole discretion, may waive a portion or all of the investment advisory fees that it is entitled to receive pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agremeent dated as of March 31, 2019 between FLEX and the New Investment Adviser (the “New Investment Advisory Agreement”) in order to limit FLEX’s Operating Expenses (as defined below) to an annual rate, expressed as a percentage of FLEX’s average quarterly net assets, equal to 8.00% (the “Annual Limit”). For purposes of the FLEX ELA, the term “Operating Expenses” with respect to FLEX, is defined to include all expenses necessary or appropriate for the operation of FLEX, including but not limited to the New Investment Adviser’s base management, any and all costs and expenses that qualify as line item “organization and offering” expenses in the financial statements of FLEX as the same are filed with the SEC and other expenses described in the New Investment Advisory Agreement, but does not include any portfolio transaction or other investment-related costs (including brokerage commissions, dealer and underwriter spreads, prime broker fees and expenses and dividend expenses related to short sales), interest expenses and other financing costs, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses. Upfront shareholder transaction expenses (such as sales commissions, dealer manager fees, and similar expenses) are not Operating Expenses. As the FLEX ELA is discretionary, it is not presented for pro forma purposes.
(5) This adjustment reflects the reversal of offering and organizational costs that were due to the PWAY Investment Adviser and that were no longer reimbursable with the approval of the Merger Agreement. This was a one time reversal of previously expensed costs that will not be recurring and therefore were removed from the pro forma financial statements.

TP FLEXIBLE INCOME FUND, INC.
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
as of March 31, 2019
(Unaudited) (Continued)
(a) | Indicates assets that the Company believes do not represent “qualifying assets” under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Of the Company’s total investments as of March 31, 2019, 32% are non-qualifying assets as a percentage of assets. |
(b) | The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”) or which reset monthly, quarterly, or semiannually. For each such investment, the Company has provided the spread over LIBOR or Prime and the current contractual interest rate in effect at March 31, 2019. Certain investments are subject to a LIBOR or Prime interest rate floor. As of March 31, 2019, the one-month, two-month, three-month, and six-month LIBOR rates were 2.50%, 2.56%, 2.60%, and 2.65%, respectively. |
(c) | Fair value and market value are determined by the Company’s board of directors. |
(d) | The structured subordinated notes and preference/preferred shares are considered equity positions in the Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”). The CLO equity investments are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the excess cash flow generated from the underlying investments after payment of the contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses. The current estimated yield is based on the current projections of this excess cash flow taking into account assumptions which have been made regarding expected prepayments, losses and future reinvestment rates. These assumptions are periodically reviewed and adjusted. Ultimately, the actual yield may be higher or lower than the estimated yield if actual results differ from those used for the assumptions. |
(e) | All structured subordinated notes are co-investments with other entities managed by an affiliate of Prospect Flexible Income Management, LLC, the Company’s investment adviser. |
(f) | Affiliated investment as defined by the 1940 Act, whereby the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and the investments are not classified as controlled investments. Affiliated funds that are managed by an affiliate of Triton Pacific Adviser, LLC, the former investment adviser of the Company, also hold investments in this security. The aggregate fair value of non-controlled, affiliated investments at March 31, 2019 represented 2.04% of the Company’s net assets. Fair value as of March 31, 2019 along with transactions during the period ended March 31, 2019 in affiliated investments were as follows: |
Non-controlled, Affiliated Investments | Number of Shares | Fair Value at December 31, 2018 | Gross Additions (Cost)* | Gross Reductions (Cost)** | Unrealized Change in FMV | Net Realized Gain (Loss) | Fair Value at March 31, 2019 | Interest & Dividends Credited to Income | |||||||||||||||||

TP Flexible Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. | BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION |
The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information related to the Merger is included as of and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. On August 10, 2018, Triton Pacific Investment Corporation, Inc., (“TPIC”) and Pathway Capital Opportunity Fund, Inc. (“PWAY”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which PWAY merged with and into TPIC (the “Merger”). The combined surviving company was renamed as TP Flexible Income Fund, Inc. (“FLEX” or the “Company”). The Agreement and Plan of Merger was amended and restated effective as of February 12, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”). On March 15, 2019 the Merger was approved by the stockholders of TPIC and PWAY and was consummated effective as of March 31, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. eastern time. The value of TPIC’s stock price used to determine TPIC’s purchase price was approximately $8.1 million, which was based upon the balance sheet of PWAY as of March 27, 2019 (the net asset value determination date for the Merger). The pro forma adjustments included herein reflect the conversion of the PWAY Class A Shares and the PWAY Class I Shares into TPIC Class A Common Stock using an exchange ratio of the common stock of 1.2848 for the PWAY Class A Shares and 1.2884 for the PWAY Class I Shares. On March 31, 2019, the effective date of the Merger, approximately 755,193 shares of FLEX’s Common Stock were issued to former shareholders of PWAY, as part of the Merger.
The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition of PWAY by TPIC (FLEX following the completion of the Merger) in accordance with the business combination method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business Combinations—Related Issues. Consistent with tax free business combinations of investment companies, for financial reporting purposes, the merger accounting was recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from TPIC was carried forward to align ongoing financial reporting of FLEX’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Further, the components of net assets of FLEX reflect the combined components of net assets of both PWAY and TPIC.
In determining the fair value of the assets to be acquired, FLEX determines fair value, as defined under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, as the price that FLEX would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 emphasizes that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of FLEX. Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available to FLEX on the reporting period date.
ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchies:
Level 1: | Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
| |
Level 2: | Inputs that are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
| |
Level 3: | Inputs that are unobservable for an asset or liability. |
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Generally, most of FLEX’s investments are classified as Level 3.
A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. The inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation.
FLEX determines the net asset value of its investment portfolio each quarter. Securities that are publicly-traded are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. Securities that are not publicly-traded are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by FLEX’s board of directors. In connection with that determination, Prospect Flexible Income Management, LLC, FLEX’s investment adviser (the “FLEX Investment Adviser”) provides the Company’s board of directors with portfolio company valuations which are based on relevant inputs which may include indicative dealer quotes, values of like securities, recent portfolio company financial statements and forecasts, and also may include valuations prepared by third-party valuation services. FLEX employs the valuation policy approved by its board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820. Although TPIC and PWAY’s valuation processes and procedures may differ, no material changes are expected to the valuations of the combined surviving company’s investment subsequent to the Merger.
The following table presents fair value measurements of investments for the combined company as of March 31, 2019:

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects the actual results of the merged funds.

2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
Prior to the Merger, both TPIC and PWAY incurred costs in connection with the Merger. TPIC incurred approximately $635,000 in Merger costs and PWAY incurred approximately $709,000 in Merger costs. All Merger costs were expensed prior to March 27, 2019.
As part of the Merger Agreement, that certain Amended and Restated Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (the “TPIC ESA”) between TPIC and Triton Pacific Adviser, LLC, TPIC’s investment adviser (the “TPIC Investment Adviser”) was terminated as of the consummation of the Merger. Upon termination of the TPIC ESA, the TPIC Investment Adviser agreed to waive any amount that may be owed to it under the TPIC ESA.
With the approval of the Merger Agreement, the offering for PWAY ended and all offering and organizational costs due to PWAY’s investment adviser, Pathway Capital Opportunity Fund Management, LLC (the “PWAY Investment Adviser”) were no longer be reimbursable. As such, that liability was reversed on PWAY’s balance sheet prior to completion of the Merger.
The pro forma income statement was adjusted for the change in base management fees. Both PWAY and TPIC’s base management fee was 2.0% of assets under management per year. FLEX’s base management fee is 1.75% of assets per year. Additionally, FLEX has a subordinated incentive fee on income, which will be payable quarterly in arrears based on the “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees and fees for providing significant managerial assistance or other fees that FLEX receives from portfolio companies) accrued by FLEX during the calendar quarter, minus FLEX’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement between FLEX and Prospect Administrator, LLC, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the organization and offering expenses and the incentive fee payable to FLEX’s investment adviser). 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 FLEX has not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of FLEX’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a preferred return of 1.5% per quarter. FLEX will pay its investment adviser a subordinated incentive fee on income with respect to FLEX’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no subordinated incentive fee on income in any calendar quarter in which FLEX’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the preferred return; (2) 100% of FLEX’s pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the preferred return but is less than 1.875% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of FLEX’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 1.875% in any calendar quarter. These calculations will be appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current quarter. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not contain this subordinated incentive fee on income as the preferred return would not be met for the period.
3. PORTFOLIO REALIGNMENT
The portfolios of TPIC and PWAY both currently consist primarily of debt investments. Following completion of the Merger, at least 70% of FLEX’s investments are expected to consist primarily of these same investment types. PWAY expects to reposition its portfolio by selling approximately $5 million in fair market value of its portfolio investments (approximately 62% of PWAY’s net assets as of March 27, 2019, which was the net asset value determination date for the Merger) that are not “qualifying assets” under the 1940 Act for cash prior to consummation of the Merger and (i) re-investing approximately $1.5 million (approximately 30%) of those proceeds in assets that are “qualifying assets” under the 1940 Act and (ii) re-investing approximately $3.5 million (approximately 70%) of those proceeds in CLOs, which will result in a 25% CLO portfolio allocation for combined company after the investments are made.
Some of the investments excepted to be sold are forced sales as these investments are not “qualifying assets” under the 1940 Act because they are investments in U.S. companies with market capitalization greater than $250 million. Following completing of the Merger, FLEX will have at least 70% of its assets invested in “qualifying assets,” which include investments in private, U.S. companies or U.S. companies with market capitalization of less than $250 million. The pro forma financials to do reflect the repositioning as it is will occur after March 31, 2019.
4. THE MERGER
Effective March 31, 2019, TPIC and PWAY entered into a tax free business combination. Concurrent with the Merger, TPIC, the legal acquirer was renamed TP Flexible Income Fund, Inc. As a result of the Merger, the Company issued approximately 775,193 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to the former shareholders of PWAY and all shares of PWAY were retired.
For financial reporting purposes, the Merger was treated as a recapitalization of PWAY followed by the reverse acquisition of TPIC by PWAY for a purchase price equivalent to the fair value of TPIC’s net assets.
Consistent with tax free business combinations of investment companies, for financial reporting purposes, the reverse merger accounting was recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from TPIC was carried forward to align ongoing financial reporting of the Company’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Further, the components of net assets of the Company reflect the combined components of net assets of both PWAY and TPIC.
In accordance with the accounting and presentation for reverse acquisitions, the historical financial statements of the Company, prior to the date of the Merger reflect the financial positions and results of operations of PWAY, with the exception of the components of net assets described above, with the results of operations of TPIC being included commencing on April 1, 2019. Effective with the completion of the Merger, TPIC changed its fiscal year end to be the last day of June consistent with PWAY’s fiscal year.
In the Merger, common shareholders of PWAY received newly-issued common shares in the Company having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their holdings of PWAY Class A and/or PWAY Class I common shares, as applicable, as determined at the close of business on March 27, 2019, as permitted by the Merger Agreement. The differences in net asset value between March 27, 2019 and March 31, 2019 were not material. Relevant details pertaining to the Merger are as follows:
