SIERRA INCOME CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2019

(unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Sierra Income Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on June 13, 2011 and formally commenced operations on April 17, 2012. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Company is externally managed by SIC Advisors LLC (“SIC Advisors”), a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). SIC Advisors is a wholly owned subsidiary of Medley LLC, which is controlled by Medley Management Inc., a publicly traded asset management firm (NYSE: MDLY), which in turn is controlled by Medley Group LLC, an entity wholly-owned by the senior professionals of Medley LLC. The term “Medley” refers to the collective activities of Medley Capital LLC, Medley LLC, Medley Management Inc., Medley Group LLC, SIC Advisors, associated investment funds and their respective affiliates. The Company has elected, and intends to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31^st.

On April 17, 2012, the Company successfully reached its minimum escrow requirement and officially commenced operations by issuing 1,108,033 shares of common stock to SIC Advisors for gross proceeds of $10,000,000. On July 2, 2018, the Company’s board of directors determined to terminate the Company’s offering effective as of July 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has sold a total of 100,462,586 shares of common stock, which includes shares issued as part of the distribution reinvestment plan (see Note 13), for total gross proceeds of $1.0 billion, which includes the shares sold to SIC Advisors. The proceeds from the issuance of common stock are presented in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and are presented net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees.

On August 15, 2013, the Company formed Arbor Funding LLC ("Arbor"), a wholly-owned financing subsidiary.

On June 18, 2014, the Company formed Alpine Funding LLC ("Alpine"), a wholly-owned financing subsidiary.

The Company has formed and expects to continue to form certain taxable subsidiaries (the “Taxable Subsidiaries”), which are taxed as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Taxable Subsidiaries allow the Company to hold equity securities of portfolio companies organized as pass-through entities while continuing to satisfy the requirements of a RIC under the Code.

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income, and to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Company intends to meet its investment objective by investing primarily in the debt of privately owned U.S. companies with a focus on senior secured debt, second lien debt and, to a lesser extent, subordinated debt. The Company will originate transactions sourced through SIC Advisors’ direct origination network, and also expects to acquire debt securities through the secondary market. The Company may make equity investments in companies that it believes will generate appropriate risk adjusted returns, although it does not expect such investments to be a substantial portion of the portfolio.

Agreements and Plan of Mergers

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

Simultaneously, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "MDLY Merger Agreement" together with the MCC Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”), dated as of August 9, 2018, by and among MDLY, the Company, and Sierra Management, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), MDLY would, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the Merger (the MDLY Merger together with the MCC Merger, the "Mergers"), and MDLY’s existing asset management business would continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company. In the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, other than Dissenting Shares (as defined in the MDLY Merger Agreement) and shares of MDLY Class A common stock held by MDLY,

F-22

the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, would be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.3836 shares of our common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $3.44 per share. In addition, MDLY's stockholders would have the right to receive certain dividends and/or other payments. If the Mergers are successfully consummated, our common stock would be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SRA" and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, with such listings expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers. Upon completion of the Mergers, the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would be combined, Merger Sub, as a successor to MDLY, would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company, and the Combined Company would be internally managed by MCC Advisors LLC, its wholly controlled adviser subsidiary.

Set forth below is a description of the Decision (as defined below), which should be read in the context of the impact that the Decision and corresponding Settlement Term Sheet (as defined below) may have on the Company with respect to any potential amendment to the Merger Agreements.

On February 11, 2019, a putative stockholder class action related to the MCC Merger was commenced in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd (collectively, “FrontFour”). The action, as consolidated, is captioned In re Medley Capital Corporation Stockholder Litigation, C.A. No. 2019-0100-KSJM, Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MDLY, the Company, MCC, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC (the “Class Action”). The complaint alleged that MCC’s directors (Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, and Arthur S. Ainsberg) breached their fiduciary duties to MCC’s stockholders in connection with the MCC Merger, and that MDLY, the Company, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On March 11, 2019, following a two-day trial, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion (the “Decision”) denying FrontFour’s requests to (i) permanently enjoin the MCC Merger and (ii) require MCC to conduct a “shopping process” for MCC on terms proposed by FrontFour in its complaint. The Court held that MCC’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the MCC Merger, but rejected FrontFour’s claim that the Company aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duties. The Court ordered defendants to issue corrective disclosures consistent with the Decision, and enjoined a vote of MCC’s stockholders on the MCC Merger until such disclosures have been made and stockholders have had the opportunity to assimilate this information.

On April 15, 2019, certain parties in the Class Action reached agreement on the principal terms of a settlement, which are contained in a binding term sheet, dated April 15, 2019 (the “Settlement Term Sheet”), among Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MCC, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley LLC, and Medley Group LLC (the “Medley Parties”), on the one hand, and FrontFour, on behalf of itself and a class of similarly situated stockholders of MCC, on the other hand. The Settlement Term Sheet is intended to form the basis of a definitive stipulation of settlement in the Class Action. The Settlement Term Sheet provides that MCC will seek to obtain the agreement and/or consent of the Company to effect certain amendments to (i) the MCC Merger Agreement and (ii) the MDLY Merger Agreement. If the foregoing amendments are entered into they will, among other matters (as described in further detail in the Settlement Term Sheet): (a) extend the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreements) to October 31, 2019; (b) permit MCC’s special committee of independent directors (the “MCC Special Committee”) to undertake a sixty-day “go shop” process to solicit superior transactions to the MCC Merger and (c) if the MCC Merger is consummated, create a settlement fund, consisting of $17 million in cash and $30 million of the Company’s stock, with the number of shares of the Company’s stock to be calculated using the pro forma NAV reported in the future proxy supplement describing the amendments to the MCC Merger Agreement, which will be distributed to eligible members of the Class (as defined in the Settlement Term Sheet). In connection with the Settlement Term Sheet, MDLY has executed an acknowledgement and agreement to take certain actions, including consenting to certain amendments to the Merger Agreements, in furtherance of the transactions contemplated thereby.

In addition, the Settlement Term Sheet provides that MCC and FrontFour will enter into a Governance Agreement pursuant to which, among other matters, FrontFour will be subject to customary standstill restrictions and be required to vote in favor of the MCC Merger at a meeting of stockholders to approve the MCC Merger Agreement and in favor of the directors nominated by our board of directors for election at MCC’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.

Under the Settlement Term Sheet, the parties have agreed to cooperate to reduce the agreements reflected therein to a definitive stipulation of settlement (the “Settlement Stipulation”), and to obtain approval of Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The Settlement Stipulation will provide for mutual releases between and among FrontFour and the Class, on the one hand, and the Medley Parties, on the other hand, of all claims that were or could have been asserted in the Class Action. The Medley Parties will also release all claims arising out of or relating to the prosecution and settlement of the Class Action and all claims that were or could have been asserted (other than claims against NexPoint Advisors, L.P. and its affiliates) in the litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned Medley Capital Corporation v. FrontFour Capital Group LLC, et al., No. 1:19-cv-02055-LTS (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Federal Action”), and FrontFour and the Class will release all claims arising out of or relating to the prosecution and settlement of the Federal Action.

F-23

Under the Settlement Term Sheet, MCC and FrontFour have also undertaken to work together in good faith to agree to supplemental disclosures relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements consistent with the Decision.

If the contemplated amendments to the Merger Agreements have not been entered into by May 15, 2019, the Settlement Term Sheet may be terminated by MCC or FrontFour. The contemplated amendments to the Merger Agreements require the agreement of the Company and there can be no assurance that such agreement will be obtained or that agreements on the amendments to the Merger Agreements will be reached.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company follows the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 - Financial Services, Investment Companies ("ASC 946"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alpine, Arbor, and the Taxable Subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All references made to the "Company," "we," and "us" herein include Sierra Income Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as stated otherwise. Additionally, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial results contain all adjustments and reclassifications, which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the periods presented. Therefore, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 1, 2019. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Offering Costs

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

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Deferred Financing Costs

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

Deferred Transaction Costs

Transaction costs, incurred in connection with the Mergers by and among the Company, MCC, MDLY and Merger Sub (see Note 1), are deferred until the closing or termination of the Mergers.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual agreements that provide general indemnifications against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of individual obligations under such agreements. The Company has had no claims or payments pursuant to such agreements. The Company’s individual maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on management’s experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote.

F-24

Revenue Recognition

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

Fee income associated with investments in portfolio companies is recognized as income in the period that the Company becomes entitled to such fees. Other fees related to loan administration requirements are capitalized as deferred revenue and recorded into income over the respective period.

Prepayment penalties received by the Company for debt instruments paid back to the Company prior to the maturity date are recorded as income upon receipt.

The Company holds debt investments that contain a payment-in-kind (PIK) interest provision. PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. PIK interest is not accrued if the Company does not expect the issuer to be able to pay all principal and interest when due. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company earned PIK interest of $1,228,921 and $2,320,079, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company earned PIK interest of $794,776 and $1,443,899, respectively.

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized realized losses on investments of $6,991,921 and $12,371,727, respectively, related to certain non-cash restructuring transactions, which are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of net realized gain/(loss) from non-controlled/non-affiliated investments and/or net realized gain/(loss) from controlled/affiliated investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized realized losses on investments of $0 and $26,781,391, respectively, related to certain non-cash restructuring transactions, which are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of net realized gain/(loss) from non-controlled/non-affiliated investments and/or net realized gain/(loss) from controlled/affiliated investments.The Company reports changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For total return swap transactions (see Note 5), periodic payments are received or made at the end of each settlement period, but prior to settlement are recorded as realized gains or losses on total return swap in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Management reviews all loans that become 90 days or more past due on principal and interest or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected for possible placement on management's designation of non-accrual status. Accrued interest is generally reserved when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Loans on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current, although the Company may make exceptions to this general rule if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of June 30, 2019, seven portfolio companies were on non-accrual status with a cost of $69,570,444, or 7.7% of the cost of the Company's portfolio, and a fair value of $14,633,030, or 1.8% of the fair value of the Company's portfolio. As of December 31, 2018, seven portfolio companies were on non-accrual status with a cost of $87,597,395, or 8.7% of the cost of the Company's portfolio, and a fair value of $41,109,398, or 4.5% of the fair value of the Company's portfolio.

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

Investment Classification

The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company would be deemed to “control” a portfolio company if it owns more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. The Company refers to such investments in portfolio companies that it “controls” as “Controlled Investments.” Under the 1940 Act, the Company would be deemed to be an “Affiliated

F-25

Person” of a portfolio company if it owns at least 5%, but no more than 25%, of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities or if it is under common control with such portfolio company. The Company refers to such investments in Affiliated Persons as “Affiliated Investments.”

Valuation of Investments

The Company applies fair value accounting to all of its financial instruments in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as discussed in Note 4. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or multiple broker-dealers or market makers. The Company weighs the use of third-party broker quotations, if any, in determining fair value based on management's understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer. However, debt investments with remaining maturities within 60 days that are not credit impaired are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Company’s board of directors based upon input from management and third party valuation firms. Because these investments are illiquid and there may not be any directly comparable companies whose financial instruments have observable market values, these loans are valued using a fundamental valuation methodology, consistent with traditional asset pricing standards, that is objective and consistently applied across all loans and through time.

Investments in investment companies are valued at fair value. Fair values are generally determined utilizing the net asset value ("NAV") supplied by, or on behalf of, management of each investment company, which is net of management and incentive fees or allocations charged by the investment company and is in accordance with the "practical expedient", as defined by ASC 820. NAVs received by, or on behalf of, management of each investment company are based on the fair value of the investment company's underlying investments in accordance with policies established by management of each investment company, as described in each of their financial statements and offering memorandum.

The methodologies utilized by the Company in estimating the fair value of its investments categorized as Level 3 generally fall into the following two categories:

• The “Market Approach” uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities, or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business.

• The “Income Approach” converts future amounts (for example, cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (that is, discounted) amount. When the Income Approach is used, the fair value measurement reflects current market expectations about those future amounts.

The Company uses third-party valuation firms to assist the board of directors in the valuation of its portfolio investments. The valuation reports generated by the third-party valuation firms consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market based information, including comparable transactions, performance multiples, and movement in yields of debt instruments, among other factors. Based on market data obtained from the third-party valuation firms, the Company uses a combined market yield analysis and an enterprise model of valuation. In applying the market yield analysis, the value of the Company’s loans is determined based upon inputs such as the coupon rate, current market yield, interest rate spreads of similar securities, the stated value of the loan, and the length to maturity. In applying the enterprise model, the Company uses a waterfall analysis which takes into account the specific capital structure of the borrower and the related seniority of the instruments within the borrower’s capital structure into consideration. To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, the Company weighs some or all of the traditional market valuation methods and factors based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to estimate the enterprise value.

The methodologies and information that the Company utilizes when applying the Market Approach for performing investments includes, among other things:

• valuations of comparable public companies (“Guideline Comparable Approach”);

• recent sales of private and public comparable companies (“Guideline Comparable Approach”);

F-26

• recent acquisition prices of the company, debt securities or equity securities (“Recent Arms-length Transaction”);

• external valuations of the portfolio company, offers from third parties to buy the company (“Estimated Sales Proceeds Approach”);

• subsequent sales made by the company of its investments (“Expected Sales Proceeds Approach”); and

• estimating the value to potential buyers.

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

• discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company or securities (“Discounted Cash Flow” or “DCF” Approach); and

• Black-Scholes model or simulation models or a combination thereof (Income Approach – Option Model) with respect to the valuation of warrants.

For non-performing investments, the Company may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets and liabilities using an expected recovery model. The Company may estimate the fair value of warrants based on a model such as the Black-Scholes model or simulation models or a combination thereof.

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

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

• the quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio investment being initially valued by the Company's valuation professionals;

• preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management; and

• an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company’s board of directors prepares an independent valuation report for approximately one-third of the portfolio investments each quarter on a rotating quarterly basis on non-fiscal year-end quarters, such that each of these investments will be valued by an independent valuation firm at least twice per annum when combined with the fiscal year-end review of all the investments by independent valuation firms.

In addition, all of the Company’s investments are subject to the following valuation process:

• management reviews preliminary valuations and its own independent assessment;

• the independent audit committee of the Company’s board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of senior management and independent valuation firms; and

• the Company’s board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of SIC Advisors, the respective independent valuation firms and the audit committee.

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

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

F-27

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

U.S. Federal Income Taxes

The Company has elected, and intends to qualify annually, to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to continue to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of the sum of its investment company taxable income ("ICTI") including PIK, as defined by the Code, and net tax-exempt interest income (which is the excess of the Company’s gross tax-exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions) for each taxable year in order to be eligible for tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year dividend distributions into the next tax year. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.

The Company will be subject to a nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax of 4% on undistributed income if it does not distribute at least 98% of its ordinary income in any calendar year and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year. To the extent the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions for U.S. federal excise tax purposes, the Company accrues U.S. federal excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company distributed at least 98% of its ordinary income and 98.2% of its capital gains, and as such, there was no excise tax accrual or expense recorded.

The Taxable Subsidiaries accrue income taxes payable based on the applicable corporate rates on the unrealized gains generated by the investments held by the Taxable Subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $0 and $0, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in deferred tax liabilities is included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on investments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

ICTI generally differs from net investment income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. The Company may be required to recognize ICTI in certain circumstances in which it does not receive cash. For example, if the Company holds debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount ("OID"), the Company must include in ICTI each year a portion of the OID that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by the Company in the same taxable year. The Company may also have to include in ICTI other amounts that it has not yet received in cash, such as PIK interest income and interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. Because any OID or other amounts accrued will be included in the Company’s ICTI for the year of accrual, the Company may be required to make a distribution to its stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, even though the Company will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. ICTI also excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.

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

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no interest or penalties due to material uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2019 and 2018. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 the company recognized $828,611 relating to state income taxes and $3,236,233 relating to federal income taxes as a result of the sale of Medley Chiller Holdings LLC. These taxes are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of net realized gain/(loss) from controlled/affiliated investments.

The following table reflects, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the sources of the cash distributions that the Company has paid on its common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2019				Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
Source of Distribution	Distribution Amount		Percentage		Distribution Amount		Percentage
Ordinary income	$	31,787,931	100.0	%	$	31,076,562	100.0	%

Return of capital	—		—		—		—
Distributions on a tax basis	$	31,787,931	100.0	%	$	31,076,562	100.0	%

As of June 30, 2019, for federal income tax purposes, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation are $13,510,784 and $114,422,597, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, net unrealized depreciation is $100,911,813 based on a tax basis cost of $905,933,834.

Segments

The Company invests in various industries. The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its investment relationships. However, because each of these investment relationships has similar business and economic characteristics, they have been aggregated into a single investment segment. All applicable segment disclosures are included in or can be derived from the Company’s consolidated financial statements (See Note 3).

Company Investment Risk, Concentration of Credit Risk, and Liquidity Risk

SIC Advisors has broad discretion in making investments for the Company. Investments generally consist of debt instruments that may be affected by business, financial market or legal uncertainties. Prices of investments may be volatile, and a variety of factors that are inherently difficult to predict, such as domestic or international economic and political developments, may significantly affect the results of the Company’s activities and the value of its investments. In addition, the value of the Company’s portfolio may fluctuate as the general level of interest rates fluctuates.

The value of the Company’s investments in loans and bonds may be detrimentally affected to the extent, among other things, that a borrower defaults on its obligations, there is insufficient collateral and/or there are extensive legal and other costs incurred in collecting on a defaulted loan, observable secondary or primary market yields for similar instruments issued by comparable companies increase materially or risk premiums required in the market between smaller companies, such as the Company’s borrowers, and those for which market yields are observable, increase materially.

The Company’s assets may, at any time, include securities and other financial instruments or obligations that are illiquid or thinly traded, making purchase or sale of such securities and financial instruments at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult. Furthermore, the sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely difficult to value any such investments accurately.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”) (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of this guidance to the fair value disclosures.

In October 2018, the SEC adopted amendments (the Amendments) to certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP requirements, or changes in the information environment. In part, the Amendments require an investment company to present distributable earnings in total, rather than showing the three components of distributable earnings. The compliance date for the Amendments is for all filings on or after November 5, 2018. Management has adopted the Amendments and included the required disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the SEC adopted an amendment requiring registrants to report a reconciliation of changes in stockholders’ equity, either as a separate statement or in the notes, and the analysis should reconcile the beginning balance to the ending balance of each caption in stockholders’ equity for each period for which an income statement is required to be filed. The compliance date for the amendment is for all interim period filings on or after November 5, 2018. Management has adopted the amendment and included the required reconciliation in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

(1) Nomida, LLC ("Nomida") is a non-public real estate investment formed by the Company to purchase and develop a residential property. The Company is the sole equity shareholder of Nomida and has provided 100% of the debt financing to the entity. The Company is Nomida’s sole member responsible for Nomida’s daily operations. In addition, the Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company also serves as President of Nomida. The assets of Nomida are comprised of a residential development property in the city of Chicago, IL and the proceeds of the loan from the Company; the liabilities of Nomida consist of the loan payable to the Company. As of June 30, 2019, the loan payable has been fully paid off.

(2) The Company and Great American Life Insurance Company ("GALIC") are the members of Sierra Senior Loan Strategy JV I LLC ("Sierra JV"), a joint venture formed as a Delaware limited liability company that is not consolidated by either member for financial reporting purposes. The members of Sierra JV make capital contributions as investments by Sierra JV are completed, and all portfolio and other material decisions regarding Sierra JV must be submitted to Sierra JV’s board of managers, which is comprised of an equal number of members appointed by each of the Company and GALIC. Approval of Sierra JV’s board of managers requires the unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of managers, with a quorum consisting of equal representation of members appointed by each of the Company and GALIC. Because management of Sierra JV is shared equally between the Company and GALIC, the Company does not have operational control over the Sierra JV for purposes of the 1940 Act or otherwise.

(3) The par amount and additional detail are shown in the consolidated schedule of investments

Purchases/(sales) of investments in controlled/affiliated investments are included in the purchases and sales presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Transfers in/(out) of controlled/affiliated represents the fair value for the month an investment became or was removed as a controlled/affiliates investment. Income received from controlled/affiliated investments is included in total investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Sierra Senior Loan Strategy JV I LLC

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

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Sierra JV had total capital commitments of $116 million, with the Company providing $101.5 million and GALIC providing $14.5 million. Approximately $105.2 million was funded as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, relating to these commitments, of which $92.1 million was from the Company. The Company does not have the right to withdraw any of their respective capital commitment, unless in connection with a transfer of its membership interests. The Company may transfer full membership interests as long as it is approved by all members and transferred in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Sierra JV had a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "JV Facility") with Deutsche Bank, AG, New York Branch ("DB"). The JV Facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR (with no minimum) plus 2.50% per annum. On March 29, 2019, the JV amended the Credit Facility and extended the reinvestment period. On March 29, 2019, the JV Facility reinvestment period was extended to June 28, 2019 from March 30, 2019. On June 28, 2019, the JV Facility reinvestment period was further extended to October 28, 2019. The final maturity date is March 30, 2022 and is secured substantially by all of the SPV's assets, subject certain exclusions set forth in the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was $204.9 million outstanding under the JV Facility.

In accordance with Rules 3-09 and 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X, the Company must determine which of its unconsolidated Control Investments, if any, are considered “significant subsidiaries.” In evaluating these investments, there are three tests utilized to determine if any Controlled Investments are considered significant subsidiaries: the investment test, the asset test and the income test. Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X requires the Company to include separate audited financial statements of any unconsolidated majority-owned subsidiary (Control Investments in which the Company owns greater than 50% of the voting securities) in an annual report if any of the three tests exceed 20%. Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X requires summarized financial information of Control Investments in an annual report if any of the three tests exceeds 10%, and summarized financial information in a quarterly report if any of the three tests exceeds 20% pursuant to Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X.

As of June 30, 2019, excluding Sierra JV, the Company had no single Control Investment which would be deemed to be a significant subsidiary pursuant to Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC 820 for measuring the fair value of portfolio investments. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. The Company’s fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Financial investments recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the investment as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows. Investments which are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from this hierarchy:

• Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

F-42

• Level 2 — Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable at the measurement date. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets including actionable bids from third parties for privately held assets or liabilities, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curves and forward currency rates that are entered directly into valuation models to determine the value of derivatives or other assets or liabilities.

• Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and is based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the Market or Income Approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, beta and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company employs the valuation policy approved by the board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820 (see Note 2). Consistent with the Company’s valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company’s investments are trading, in determining fair value.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of the Company’s total investments, by major class according to the fair value hierarchy, as of June 30, 2019:

(1) Represents the method used when the Company has determined that market participants would use such inputs when measuring the fair value of these investments.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt and derivative investments are market yields. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity/warrants investments are comparable company multiples of revenue or EBITDA for the latest twelve months (“LTM”), next twelve months (“NTM”) or a reasonable period a market participant would consider. Increases or decreases in any of the above significant unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement for such assets.

Note 5. Total Return Swap

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

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

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

F-46

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

Pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement, as amended and subject to conditions customary for transactions of this nature, Arbor may select a portfolio of loans with a maximum market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of $180 million, subject to the Fifth Amended Confirmation Agreement, which is also referred to as the maximum notional amount of the TRS. Arbor receives from Citibank a periodic payment on set dates that is based upon any coupons, both earned and accrued, generated by the loans underlying the TRS, subject to limitations described in the TRS Agreement as well as any fees associated with the loans included in the portfolio. Arbor pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.60% per annum. In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, Arbor either receives from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such loan, or pays to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan.

SIC Advisors may terminate the TRS on behalf of Arbor at any time upon providing 10 days prior notice to Citibank. Citibank may terminate the TRS at any time.

Arbor is required to pay a minimum usage fee in connection with the TRS of 1.60% on the amount equal to 85% of the average daily unused portion of the maximum amount permitted under the TRS. Such minimum usage fee will not apply during the first 365 days and last 60 days of the term of the TRS. Arbor will also pay Citibank customary fees in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the TRS. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, Arbor paid no minimum usage fees.

Arbor is required to initially cash collateralize a specified percentage of each loan (generally 20% to 30% of the market value of such loan) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the TRS Agreement. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Arbor has posted $1,208 and $27,000,000, respectively, in collateral to Citibank in relation to the TRS which is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral on TRS. Arbor is restricted from removing the cash collateral posted to Citibank and may be required to post additional collateral from time to time as a result of a decline in the mark-to-market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. The obligations of Arbor under the TRS Agreement are non-recourse to the Company and the Company’s exposure under the TRS Agreement is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Arbor, which generally equals the value of cash collateral provided by Arbor under the TRS Agreement.

In connection with the TRS, Arbor has made customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. In addition to customary events of default and termination events included in the form ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, the TRS Agreement contains the following termination events: (a) a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria for at least 30 days; (b) a failure to post initial cash collateral or additional collateral as required by the TRS Agreement; (c) a default by Arbor or the Company with respect to indebtedness in an amount equal to or greater than the lesser of $10,000,000 and 2% of the Company’s NAV at such time; (d) a merger of Arbor or the Company meeting certain criteria; (e) the Company or Arbor amending their respective constituent documents to alter their investment strategy in a manner that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; and (f) SIC Advisors ceasing to be the investment manager of Arbor or to have authority to enter into transactions under the TRS Agreement on behalf of Arbor, and not being replaced by an entity reasonably acceptable to Citibank. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any derivatives with contingent features in net liability positions; therefore, if a trigger event had occurred, no amount would have been required to be posted by the Company.

The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is $5,492 and $27,113,252, respectively, which is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral on TRS and receivable due on TRS.

The Company’s receivable from Citibank represents realized amounts from payments on underlying loans in the TRS portfolio that as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $4,284 and $113,252, respectively, which is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivable due on total return swap. The Company does not offset collateral posted in relation to the TRS with any unrealized appreciation or depreciation outstanding in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

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

The fair value of the Company’s debt obligation is determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under

F-48

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

ING Credit Facility

On August 12, 2016, the Company amended its existing senior secured syndicated revolving credit facility (the “ING Credit Facility”) pursuant to a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders party thereto from time to time and ING Capital LLC, as administrative agent. The ING Credit Facility matures on August 12, 2020 and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, subject to certain exclusions as further set forth in an Amended and Restated Guarantee, Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) entered into in connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement, among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, ING Capital LLC, as Administrative Agent, each Financial Agent and Designated Indebtedness Holder party thereto and ING Capital LLC, as Collateral Agent. The ING Credit Facility also includes usual and customary representations, covenants and events of default for senior secured revolving credit facilities of this nature. On February 13, 2015, commitments to the ING credit facility were expanded from $150,000,000 to $170,000.000. On August 12, 2016, commitments to the ING credit facility were expanded from $170,000,000 to $175,000,000. On April 20, 2017, commitments to the ING Credit Facility were expanded from $175,000,000 to $220,000,000. On February 8, 2019, we amended our ING Credit Facility, among other things, to permit the transactions contemplated by the MCC Merger Agreement and the MDLY Merger Agreement.

The ING Credit Facility allows for the Company, at its option, to borrow money at a rate of either (i) an alternate base rate plus 1.50% per annum or (ii) LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum. The interest rate margins are subject to certain step-downs upon the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the Revolving Credit Agreement. The alternate base rate will be the greater of (i) the U.S. Prime Rate set forth in the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%, and (iii) three month LIBOR plus 1.00%. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the commitment under the ING Credit Facility was $220,000,000. The ING Credit Facility includes an accordion feature that allows for potential future expansion of the ING Credit Facility up to a total of $500,000,000. Availability of loans under the ING Credit Facility is linked to the valuation of the collateral pursuant to a borrowing base mechanism.

The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders based on the daily unused portion of the aggregate commitments under the ING Credit Facility. The commitment fee is (i) 1.50% if the used portion of the aggregate commitments is less than or equal to 40%, (ii) 0.75% if the used portion of the aggregate commitments is greater than 40% and less than or equal to 65% or (iii) 0.50% if the used portion of the aggregate commitments is greater than 65%. The ING Credit Facility provides that the Company may use the proceeds of the facility for general corporate purposes, including making investments in accordance with the Company’s investment objective and strategy.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are subject to, among other things, a minimum borrowing base. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The ING Credit Facility requires the Company to, among other things (i) make representations and warranties regarding the collateral as well the Company’s business and operations, (ii) agree to certain indemnification obligations, and (iii) agree to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants. The documents for the Revolving Credit Agreement also include default provisions, such as the failure to make timely payments under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the occurrence of a change in control, and the failure by the Company to materially perform under the operative agreements governing the Revolving Credit Agreement, which, if not complied with, could accelerate repayment under the Revolving Credit Agreement, thereby materially and adversely affecting the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

In connection with the security interest established under the Security Agreement, the Company, ING Capital LLC, in its capacity as collateral agent, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, in its capacity as the Company’s custodian, entered into a control agreement dated as of December 4, 2013, in order to, among other things, perfect the security interest granted pursuant to the Security Agreement in, and provide for control over, the related collateral.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of the Company’s borrowings under the ING Credit Facility approximated their fair value. The fair value of the Company’s debt obligation is determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Company’s borrowing under the ING Credit Facility is estimated based upon market interest rates of the Company’s borrowing or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the ING Credit Facility would be deemed to be Level 3, as defined in Note 4.

Alpine Credit Facility

On September 29, 2017, the Company’s wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, Alpine, amended its existing revolving credit facility (the “Alpine Credit Facility”) pursuant to an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan”), as administrative agent and lender, the Financing Providers from time to time party thereto, SIC Advisors, as the portfolio manager, and the Collateral Administrator, Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary party thereto (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) extend the reinvestment period until December 29, 2020, (ii) extend the scheduled termination date until March 29, 2022, (iii) decrease the applicable margin for advances to 2.85% per annum and (iv) increase the compliance condition for net advances to 55% of net asset value. Alpine’s obligations to JPMorgan under the Alpine Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Alpine, including its portfolio of loans. The obligations of Alpine under the Alpine Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company.

The Alpine Credit Facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount up to $300,000,000 on a committed basis. Borrowings under the Alpine Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a NAV coverage ratio with respect to the current value of Alpine’s portfolio and various eligibility criteria must be satisfied with respect to the initial acquisition of each loan in Alpine’s portfolio. Any amounts borrowed under the Alpine Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on March 29, 2022.

Pricing under the Alpine Credit Facility for each one month calculation period is based on LIBOR for an interest period of one month, plus a spread of 2.85% per annum. If LIBOR is unavailable, pricing will be determined at the prime rate offered by JPMorgan or the federal funds effective rate, plus a spread of 2.85% per annum. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Alpine is also required to pay a commitment fee of 1.00% on the average daily unused amount of the financing commitments to the extent that $300,000,000 has not been borrowed.

Borrowings of Alpine are considered borrowings of the Company for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act, applicable to BDCs.

Pursuant to a Sale and Contribution Agreement entered into between the Company and Alpine (the “Sale Agreement”) in connection with the Alpine Credit Facility, the Company may sell loans or contribute cash or loans to Alpine from time to time and will retain a residual interest in any assets contributed through its ownership of Alpine or will receive fair market value for any assets sold to Alpine. In certain circumstances the Company may be required to repurchase certain loans sold to Alpine. In addition to the acquisition of loans pursuant to the Sale Agreement, Alpine may purchase additional assets from various sources. Alpine has appointed SIC Advisors to manage its portfolio of assets pursuant to the terms of a Portfolio Management Agreement between SIC Advisors and Alpine.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of the Company’s borrowings under the Alpine Credit Facility approximated the fair value of the Company’s debt obligation. The fair value of the Company’s debt obligation is determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under the Alpine Credit Facility is estimated based upon market interest rates of the Company’s borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Alpine Credit Facility would be deemed to be Level 3, as defined in Note 4.

Note 7. Agreements

Investment Advisory Agreement

On April 5, 2012, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with SIC Advisors to manage the Company’s investment activities. The Investment Advisory Agreement became effective as of April 17, 2012, the date that the Company met its minimum offering requirement. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the initial term of the Investment Advisory Agreement was for two years from its effective date, with one-year renewals subject to approval by the Company’s board of directors, a majority of whom must be independent directors. On April 4, 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term at an in-person meeting. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, SIC Advisors implements the Company’s business strategy on a day-to-day basis and performs certain services for the Company, subject to oversight by the Company’s board of directors. SIC Advisors is responsible for, among other duties, determining investment criteria, sourcing, analyzing and executing investment transactions, asset sales, financings and performing asset management duties. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay SIC Advisors a management fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of a base management fee and an incentive fee.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company’s gross assets payable quarterly in arrears. For purposes of calculating the base management fee, the term “gross assets” includes any assets acquired with the proceeds of leverage. "Gross assets" also includes any cash collateral posted with respect to the TRS, adjusted for realized and unrealized appreciation. The base management fee is calculated based on the gross assets at the end of each completed calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial quarter are appropriately pro-rated. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded an expense for base management fees of $4,335,538 and $8,777,628, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded an expense for base management fees of $4,834,495 and 9,838,311, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a base management fee payable of $4,335,538 and $4,491,234, respectively.

The incentive fee consists of the following two parts:

An incentive fee on net investment income (“Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income”) is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and is based upon pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding quarter. No Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income is payable in any calendar quarter in which pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed a quarterly return to stockholders of 1.75% per quarter on the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter (the “Preferred Quarterly Return”). All pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the Preferred Quarterly Return, but is less than or equal to 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter in any quarter, will be payable to SIC Advisors. The Company refers to this portion of its Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income as the “Catch Up”. It is intended to provide an incentive fee of 20% on pre-incentive fee net investment income when pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter in any quarter. For any quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, the Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income shall equal 20% of the amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income, because the Preferred Quarterly Return and Catch Up will have been achieved. There is no incentive fee on net investment income earned on the TRS.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded no incentive fees. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded no incentive fees payable.

F-51

A capital gains incentive fee will be earned on realized investments and shall be payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year during which the Investment Advisory Agreement is in effect. If the Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated, the fee will also become payable as of the effective date of such termination. The fee equals 20% of the realized capital gains, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. The incentive fee on capital gains is equal to realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis.

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

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded no capital gains incentive fee. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded no capital gains incentive fee payable.

In the event that other organizational and offering expenses exceed 5.25% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to its public offering or one or more private offerings at the time of the completion of the offering or other organizational and offering expenses, together with selling commissions, dealer manager fees and any discounts paid to members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to its public offering or one or more private offerings at the time of the completion of the offering, then SIC Advisors shall be required to pay without reimbursement from the Company, or, if already paid by the Company, reimburse the Company, for amounts exceeding such 5.25% and 15% limit, as appropriate.

Administration Agreement

On April 5, 2012, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with Medley Capital LLC, pursuant to which Medley Capital LLC furnishes the Company with administrative services necessary to conduct its day-to-day operations. On February 28, 2013, Medley Capital LLC entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with State Street Bank Global Fund Accounting and Custody to perform certain financial, accounting, administrative and other services on behalf of the Company. On April 4, 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an additional one-year term at an in-person meeting. Medley Capital LLC is reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on the Company’s behalf in performing its obligations. Such costs are reasonably allocated to the Company on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. The Company does not reimburse Medley Capital LLC for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of Medley Capital LLC. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded administrator expenses of $536,352 and $1,158,423, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded administrator expenses of $758,178 and $1,481,713, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had administrator fees payable of $536,352 and $689,711, respectively.

Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement

From June 29, 2012 through December 31, 2016, the Company was party to an Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement with SIC Advisors (the “Expense Support Agreement”). During the term of the Expense Support Agreement, SIC Advisors reimbursed the Company for operating expenses in an amount equal to the difference between the Company’s distributions paid to its stockholders in each month, less the sum of the Company’s net investment income, net realized capital gains and dividends paid to the Company from its portfolio companies, not included in net income and net realized capital gains, during such period (“Expense Support Reimbursement”). To the extent that no dividends or other distributions were paid to the Company’s stockholders in any given month, then the Expense Support Reimbursement for such month was equal to such amount necessary in order for available operating funds for the month to equal zero. From April 1, 2016 until the expiration of the Expense Support Agreement on December 31, 2016, SIC Advisors made expense support payments on a discretionary basis by making an election on the last day of each month to fund an expense support payment in an amount equal to the difference between the Company’s distributions paid to stockholders during such month less the sum of the Company’s net investment income, net realized capital gains and dividends paid to the Company from its portfolio companies, not included in net income and net realized capital gains during such period.

The purpose of the Expense Support Agreement was to cover distributions to stockholders so as to ensure that the distributions did not constitute a return of capital for GAAP purposes and to reduce operating expenses until the Company had raised sufficient capital to be able to absorb such expenses. The Expense Support Agreement expired on December 31, 2016.

F-52

Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Company will reimburse SIC Advisors for expense support payments it previously made following any calendar quarter for which the Company received net investment income, net realized capital gains and dividends from its portfolio companies (not included in net income and net realized capital gains) in excess of the distributions paid to the Company’s stockholders during such calendar quarter (the “Excess Operating Funds”). Any such reimbursement will be made within three years of the date that the expense support payment obligation was incurred by SIC Advisors, subject to the conditions described below. The amount of the reimbursement during any calendar quarter will equal the lesser of (i) the Excess Operating Funds received during the quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all expense payments made by SIC Advisors that have not yet been reimbursed. In addition, the Company will only make reimbursement payments to the extent its current annualized “operating expense ratio” (as described in footnote 1 to the table below) is equal to or less than its operating expense ratio for the quarter during which the corresponding expense obligation was incurred and to the extent the annualized rate of its regular cash dividends to the Company’s stockholders for the month is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of the Company’s regular cash distributions to stockholders for the month during which the corresponding expense payment was incurred.

Repayments of amounts paid by SIC Advisors to the Company under the Expense Support Agreement will be accrued as they become probable and estimable. The Company refers to Expense Support Reimbursements that are eligible for reimbursement to SIC Advisors by virtue of having satisfied the conditions described above as a “Crystalized Reimbursement.” As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not record any Crystalized Reimbursements. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the total remaining amount eligible for reimbursement of the Company to SIC Advisors, net of Crystalized Reimbursements, was $5,389,627 and $16,228,913, respectively.

The following table provides information regarding liabilities incurred by SIC Advisors pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement as well as other information relating to the Company’s ability to reimburse SIC Advisors for such payments:

(1) “Operating Expense Ratio” is as of the date the expense support payment obligation was incurred by the Company’s Advisor and includes all expenses borne by the Company, except for organizational and offering expenses, base management and incentive fees owed to SIC Advisors, and interest expense, as a percentage of net assets.

(2) “Annualized Distribution Rate” equals the annualized rate of distributions paid to stockholders based on the amount of the regular cash distribution paid immediately prior to the date the expense support payment obligation was incurred by SIC Advisors. “Annualized Distribution Rate” does not include special cash or stock distributions paid to stockholders.

(3) The unreimbursed part of the expense payment obligation has expired.

On August 9, 2018, the Company entered into the MCC Merger Agreement pursuant to which MCC would, on the terms and subject

to the conditions set forth in the MCC Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the MCC Merger Agreement. Under the MCC Merger, each share of MCC’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MCC Merger effective time, other than shares of MCC common stock held by MCC, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, would be converted into the right to receive 0.8050 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, on August 9, 2018, the Company entered into the MDLY Merger Agreement, pursuant to which MDLY would on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the MDLY Merger Agreement. In the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, other than Dissenting Shares (as defined in the MDLY Merger Agreement) and shares of MDLY Class A common stock held by MDLY, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, would be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.3836 shares of the Company’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $3.44 per share. In addition, MDLY’s stockholders would have the right to receive certain dividends and/or other payments. The Mergers would occur simultaneously and, as a result of the foregoing, the investment management function relating to the operation of the Company, as the surviving company in the Mergers, would be internalized.

Set forth below is a description of the Decision, which should be read in the context of the impact that the Decision and corresponding Settlement Term Sheet may have on the Company with respect to any potential amendment to the Merger Agreements.

On February 11, 2019, a putative stockholder class action related to the MCC Merger was commenced in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by FrontFour. The action, as consolidated, is captioned In re Medley Capital Corporation Stockholder Litigation, C.A. No. 2019-0100-KSJM, against Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MDLY, the Company, MCC, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC (the “Class Action”). The complaint alleged that MCC’s directors (Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, and Arthur S. Ainsberg) breached their fiduciary duties to MCC’s stockholders in connection with the MCC Merger, and that MDLY, the Company, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On March 11, 2019, following a two-day trial, the Court issued the Decision denying FrontFour’s requests to (i) permanently enjoin the MCC Merger and (ii) require MCC to conduct a “shopping process” for MCC on terms proposed by FrontFour in its complaint. The Court held that MCC’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the MCC Merger, but rejected FrontFour’s claim that the Company aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duties. The Court ordered defendants to issue corrective disclosures consistent with the Decision, and enjoined a vote of MCC’s stockholders on the MCC Merger until such disclosures have been made and stockholders have had the opportunity to assimilate this information.

On April 15, 2019, certain parties in the Class Action reached agreement on the principal terms of a settlement, which are contained in the Settlement Term Sheet, among the Medley Parties, on the one hand, and FrontFour, on behalf of itself and a class of similarly situated stockholders of MCC, on the other hand. The Settlement Term Sheet is intended to form the basis of a definitive stipulation of settlement in the Class Action. The Settlement Term Sheet provides that MCC will seek to obtain the agreement and/or consent of the Company to effect certain amendments to (i) the MCC Merger Agreement and (ii) the MDLY Merger Agreement. If the foregoing amendments are entered into they will, among other matters (as described in further detail in the Settlement Term Sheet): (a) extend the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreements) to October 31, 2019; (b) permit the MCC Special Committee to undertake a sixty-day “go shop” process to solicit superior transactions to the MCC Merger and (c) if the MCC Merger is consummated, create a settlement fund, consisting of $17 million in cash and $30 million of the Company’s stock, with the number of shares of the Company’s stock to be calculated using the pro forma NAV reported in the future proxy supplement describing the amendments to the MCC Merger Agreement, which will be distributed to eligible members of the Class (as defined in the Settlement Term Sheet). In connection with the Settlement Term Sheet, MDLY has executed an acknowledgement and agreement to take certain actions, including consenting to certain amendments to the Merger Agreements, in furtherance of the transactions contemplated thereby.

In addition, the Settlement Term Sheet provides that MCC and FrontFour will enter into a Governance Agreement pursuant to which, among other matters, FrontFour will be subject to customary standstill restrictions and be required to vote in favor of the MCC Merger at a meeting of stockholders to approve the MCC Merger Agreement and in favor of the directors nominated by our board of directors for election at MCC’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.

Under the Settlement Term Sheet, the parties have agreed to cooperate to reduce the agreements reflected therein to the Settlement Stipulation, and to obtain approval of Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The Settlement Stipulation will provide for mutual releases between and among FrontFour and the Class, on the one hand, and the Medley

F-54

Parties, on the other hand, of all claims that were or could have been asserted in the Class Action. The Medley Parties will also release all claims arising out of or relating to the prosecution and settlement of the Class Action and all claims that were or could have been asserted (other than claims against NexPoint Advisors, L.P. and its affiliates) in the litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned Medley Capital Corporation v. FrontFour Capital Group LLC, et al., No. 1:19-cv-02055-LTS (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Federal Action”), and FrontFour and the Class will release all claims arising out of or relating to the prosecution and settlement of the Federal Action.

Under the Settlement Term Sheet, MCC and FrontFour have also undertaken to work together in good faith to agree to supplemental disclosures relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements consistent with the Decision.

If the contemplated amendments to the Merger Agreements have not been entered into by May 15, 2019, the Settlement Term Sheet may be terminated by MCC or FrontFour. The contemplated amendments to the Merger Agreements require the agreement of the Company and there can be no assurance that such agreement will be obtained or that agreements on the amendments to the Merger Agreements will be reached.

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

Opportunities for co-investments may arise when SIC Advisors or an affiliated adviser becomes aware of investment opportunities that may be appropriate for the Company and other clients or affiliated funds. The Company obtained an exemptive order from the SEC on November 25, 2013 (the “Prior Exemptive Order”). On March 29, 2017, the Company, SIC Advisors and certain other affiliated funds and investment advisers received an exemptive order (the "Exemptive Order") that supersedes the Prior Exemptive Order and allows affiliated registered investment companies to participate in co-investment transactions with us that would otherwise have been prohibited under Section 17(d) and 57(a)(4) and Rule 17d-1. On October 4, 2017, the Company, SIC Advisors and certain of our affiliates received an exemptive order that supersedes the Exemptive Order (the “Current Exemptive Order”) and allows, in addition to the entities already covered by the Exemptive Order, Medley LLC and its subsidiary, Medley Capital LLC, to the extent they hold financial assets in a principal capacity, and any direct or indirect, wholly- or majority-owned subsidiary of Medley LLC that is formed in the future, to participate in co-investment transactions with us that would otherwise be prohibited by either or both of Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act. If the Mergers are successfully consummated, the Company and certain of its affiliates will not be able to rely on the Current Exemptive Order. In this regard, on November 19, 2018, the Company and certain of its affiliates submitted an exemptive application to the SEC for an exemptive order that would supersede the Current Exemptive Order (the “Superseding Exemptive Order”) and would permit the Company to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with certain affiliates that would otherwise be prohibited by either or both of Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act. There can be no assurance if and when the Company will receive the Superseding Exemptive Order. The terms of the Superseding Exemptive Order, if received, would be substantially similar to the Current Exemptive Order. Co-investment under the Superseding Exemptive Order is subject to certain conditions therein, including the condition that, in the case of each co-investment transaction, the board of directors determines that it would be in the Company’s best interest to participate in the transaction. The Current Exemptive Order will remain in effect unless and until the Mergers are completed and the Superseding Exemptive Order is granted by the SEC. However, neither we nor the affiliated funds are obligated to invest or co-invest when investment opportunities are referred to us or them. Please see the footnotes to the consolidated schedule of investments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for disclosures regarding securities also held by affiliated funds.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260 - Earnings per Share, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis.

The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase in net assets per share from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,						For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Net increase/(decrease) in net assets from operations	$	(17,054,078	)	$	(5,327,277	)	$	(2,140,706	)	$	(6,340,350	)
Weighted average common shares outstanding	100,135,004			97,385,971			99,649,414			97,190,689
Weighted average basic and diluted earnings per common share	$	(0.17	)	$	(0.05	)	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.07	)

Note 11. Commitments

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $30,638,770 and $49,555,687, respectively, of unfunded commitments under loan and financing agreements. These amounts are primarily composed of commitments for senior secured term loans, revolvers, and additional capital contributions for the Sierra JV. The unrealized gain or loss associated with unfunded commitments is recorded in the financial statements and reflected as an adjustment to the valuation of the related security in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The par amount of the unfunded commitments are not recognized by the Company until the commitment is funded.

Note 13. Distributions and Share Repurchase Program Distributions

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

The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) pursuant to which the Company’s common stockholders may elect to have the full amount of any cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. On June 30, 2017, the Board approved an amendment to the DRIP, pursuant to which the number of newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued to a participating stockholder shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by a price equal to 94.5%, rather than 90%, of the Company’s then current offering price.

F-57

The Company amended the DRIP as a result of the Company’s revised fee structure, which went into effect on June 16, 2017. Under the Company’s revised fee structure the upfront selling commission was reduced from 7.00% of gross proceeds to up to 3.00% of gross proceeds and the dealer manager fee was reduced from 2.75% of gross proceeds to up to 2.50% of gross proceeds. If the Company declares a cash dividend or other distribution, each stockholder that has “opted in” to the DRIP will have their distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock rather than receiving cash distributions. Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of shares of common stock will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company distributed a total of $31,787,931, of which $19,502,948 was in cash and $12,284,983 was in the form of common stock associated with the DRIP. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company distributed a total of $31,076,562, of which $17,902,191, was in cash and $13,174,371 was in the form of common stock associated with the DRIP.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company has declared or paid to its stockholders during 2019 and 2018. Stockholders of record as of each respective record date were entitled to receive the distribution.

The Company’s distributions may be funded from offering proceeds or borrowings, which may constitute a return of capital and reduce the amount of capital available to the Company for investment. Any capital returned to stockholders through distributions will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses.

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

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

Share Repurchase Program

In June 2013, the Company commenced a share repurchase program pursuant to which it conducted quarterly share repurchases of up to 2.5% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares of its common stock in the prior four calendar quarters or 10% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares in the prior 12-month period. In connection with the Mergers, the Company suspended the Share Repurchase Program. The purpose of the share repurchase program was to allow stockholders to sell their shares back to the Company at a price equal to the most recently disclosed NAV per share of the Company's common stock immediately

F-58

prior to the date of repurchase. Shares were purchased from stockholders participating in the program on a pro-rata basis. Unless the Company's board of directors determined otherwise, the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year were limited to the proceeds received in association with the sale of shares of common stock under the distribution reinvestment plan.

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

In the event of the death or disability of a stockholder, the Company will repurchase the shares held by such stockholder at a price equal to the NAV per share of our shares as disclosed in the periodic report the Company files with the SEC immediately following the date of the death or disability of such stockholder. The Company's board of directors has the right to suspend or terminate repurchases due to death or disability to the extent that it determines that it is in the Company's best interest to do so. In connection with the Mergers, the Company suspended repurchases due to death or disability. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased no shares due to death or disability. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 0 and 94,892 shares, respectively, of certain shareholders due to death or disability.

In the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY’s Class A common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the MDLY Merger, other than shares of MDLY’s Class A common stock held by MDLY, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Excluded MDLY Shares”) and the Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement), held, immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, by any person other than a Unitholder (as defined below), will be exchanged for (i) 0.2668 shares of the Company’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.96 per share. In addition, in the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY’s Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, other than the Excluded MDLY Shares and the Dissenting Shares, held, immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, by holders of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Medley LLC (the “Medley LLC Units” and, holders of the Medley LLC Units at any time on or after July 29, 2019, the “Unitholders”) will be exchanged for (i) 0.2072 shares of the Company’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.66 per share.

Pursuant to terms of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, the consummation of the MCC Merger is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to closing under the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement and the consummation of the MDLY Merger. However, pursuant to the terms of the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, the consummation of the MDLY Merger is not contingent upon the consummation of the MCC Merger. If both Mergers are successfully consummated, our common stock would be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers, and our common stock will be listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the MCC Merger. If, however, only the MDLY Merger is consummated, our common stock would be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. If both Mergers are successfully consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would be combined, Merger Sub, as a successor to MDLY, would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company, and the Combined Company would be internally managed by MCC Advisors LLC, its wholly controlled adviser subsidiary. If only the MDLY Merger is consummated, while the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would not be combined, the investment management function relating to the operation of the Company, as the surviving company, would still be internalized.

Notwithstanding the suspension of the share repurchase program and, in connection with the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, our board of directors approved the repurchase of shares of our common stock from our stockholder who have requested repurchases in connection with such stockholder’s death or disability.

Effective as of August 31, 2019, Jeff Tonkel is retiring and will be a senior advisor to the Medley platform and will remain a director of MDLY and MCC. Accordingly, Mr. Tonkel will resign from his positions as President of MDLY, the Company, and Sierra Total Return Fund. Mr. Tonkel’s decision to resign as President of MDLY, the Company, and Sierra Total Return Fund was not due to any dispute or disagreement with MDLY, the Company, or Sierra Total Return Fund, or on any matter relating to the operations, policies or practices of MDLY, the Company, or Sierra Total Return Fund.

Overview

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

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

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

The level of our investment activity depends on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to prospective portfolio companies, the level of merger, acquisition and refinancing activity for such portfolio companies, the availability of credit to finance transactions, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. Based on prevailing market conditions, we anticipate that we will invest the proceeds from each subscription closing generally within 30-90 days. The precise timing will depend on the availability of investment opportunities that are consistent with our investment objectives and strategies.

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. In addition, we are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% (or 150% if, pursuant to recent legislation, certain requirements under the 1940 Act are met) after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. To maintain our RIC tax treatment, we must meet specified source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. To be eligible for RIC tax treatment under Subchapter M for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, for the taxable year.

Agreements and Plan of Mergers

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

Simultaneously, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “MDLY Merger Agreement”), dated as of August 9, 2018, by and among MDLY, the Company, and Sierra Management, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), MDLY would, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the Merger (the “MDLY Merger” together with the MCC Merger, the “Mergers”), and MDLY’s existing asset management business would continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company. In the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, other than Dissenting Shares (as defined in the MDLY Merger Agreement) and shares of MDLY Class A common stock held by MDLY, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, would be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.3836 shares of our common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $3.44 per share. In addition, MDLY’s stockholders would have the right to receive certain dividends and/or other payments. If the Mergers are successfully consummated, our common stock would be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SRA” and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, with such listings expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers. Upon completion of the Mergers, the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would be combined, Merger Sub, as a successor to MDLY, would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company, and the Combined Company would be internally managed by MCC Advisors LLC, its wholly controlled adviser subsidiary.

Set forth below is a description of the Decision (as defined below), which should be read in the context of the impact that the Decision and corresponding Settlement Term Sheet (as defined below) may have on the Company with respect to any potential amendment to the Merger Agreements.

On February 11, 2019, a putative stockholder class action related to the MCC Merger was commenced in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd (collectively, “FrontFour”). The action, as consolidated, is captioned In re Medley Capital Corporation Stockholder Litigation, C.A. No. 2019-0100-KSJM against Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MDLY, the Company, MCC, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC (the “Class Action”). The complaint alleged that MCC’s directors (Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, and Arthur S. Ainsberg) breached their fiduciary duties to MCC’s stockholders in connection with the MCC Merger, and that MDLY, the Company, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On March 11, 2019, following a two-day trial, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion (the “Decision”) denying FrontFour’s requests to (i) permanently enjoin the MCC Merger and (ii) require MCC to conduct a “shopping process” for MCC on terms proposed by FrontFour in its complaint. The Court held that MCC’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the MCC Merger, but rejected FrontFour’s claim that the Company aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duties. The Court ordered defendants to issue corrective disclosures consistent with the Decision, and enjoined a vote of MCC’s stockholders on the MCC Merger until such disclosures have been made and stockholders have had the opportunity to assimilate this information.

On April 15, 2019, certain parties in the Class Action reached agreement on the principal terms of a settlement, which are contained in a binding term sheet, dated April 15, 2019 (the “Settlement Term Sheet”), among Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MCC, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley LLC, and Medley Group LLC (the “Medley Parties”), on the one hand, and FrontFour, on behalf of itself and a class of similarly situated stockholders of MCC, on the other hand. The Settlement Term Sheet is intended to form the basis of a definitive stipulation of settlement in the Class Action. The Settlement Term Sheet provides that MCC will seek to obtain the agreement and/or consent of the Company to effect certain amendments to (i) the MCC Merger Agreement and (ii) the MDLY Merger Agreement (together with the MCC Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”). If the foregoing amendments are entered into they will, among other matters (as described in further detail in the Settlement Term Sheet): (a) extend the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreements) to October 31, 2019; (b) permit MCC’s special committee of independent directors (the “MCC Special Committee”) to undertake a sixty-day “go shop” process to solicit superior transactions to the MCC Merger and (c) if the MCC Merger is consummated, create a settlement fund, consisting of $17 million in cash and $30 million of the Company’s stock, with the number of shares of the Company’s stock to be calculated using the pro forma NAV reported in the future proxy supplement describing the amendments to the MCC Merger

3

Agreement, which will be distributed to eligible members of the Class (as defined in the Settlement Term Sheet). In connection with the Settlement Term Sheet, MDLY has executed an acknowledgement and agreement to take certain actions, including consenting to certain amendments to the Merger Agreements, in furtherance of the transactions contemplated thereby.

In addition, the Settlement Term Sheet provides that MCC and FrontFour will enter into a Governance Agreement pursuant to which, among other matters, FrontFour will be subject to customary standstill restrictions and be required to vote in favor of the MCC Merger at a meeting of stockholders to approve the MCC Merger Agreement and in favor of the directors nominated by our board of directors for election at MCC’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.

Under the Settlement Term Sheet, the parties have agreed to cooperate to reduce the agreements reflected therein to a definitive stipulation of settlement (the “Settlement Stipulation”), and to obtain approval of Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The Settlement Stipulation will provide for mutual releases between and among FrontFour and the Class, on the one hand, and the Medley Parties, on the other hand, of all claims that were or could have been asserted in the Class Action. The Medley Parties will also release all claims arising out of or relating to the prosecution and settlement of the Class Action and all claims that were or could have been asserted (other than claims against NexPoint Advisors, L.P. and its affiliates) in the litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned Medley Capital Corporation v. FrontFour Capital Group LLC, et al., No. 1:19-cv-02055-LTS (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Federal Action”), and FrontFour and the Class will release all claims arising out of or relating to the prosecution and settlement of the Federal Action.

Under the Settlement Term Sheet, MCC and FrontFour have also undertaken to work together in good faith to agree to supplemental disclosures relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements consistent with the Decision.

If the contemplated amendments to the Merger Agreements have not been entered into by May 15, 2019, the Settlement Term Sheet may be terminated by MCC or FrontFour. The contemplated amendments to the Merger Agreements require the agreement of the Company and there can be no assurance that such agreement will be obtained or that agreements on the amendments to the Merger Agreements will be reached.

Revenues

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

Expenses

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

• corporate, organizational and offering expenses relating to offerings of our common stock, subject to limitations included in our Investment Advisory Agreement;

• the cost of calculating our NAV, including the related fees and cost of any third-party valuation services;

• the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock and other securities;

• fees payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, monitoring our financial and legal affairs, making investments, and valuing investments, including fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of prospective investments;

• interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments;

• transfer agent and custodial fees;

• fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts subject to limitations included in the Investment Advisory Agreement;

• federal and state registration fees and any stock exchange listing fees;

• federal, state and local taxes;

• independent directors’ fees and expenses, including travel expenses;

• costs of director and stockholder meetings, proxy statements, stockholders’ reports and notices;

• costs of fidelity bonds, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance and other types of insurance;

• direct costs, including those relating to printing of stockholder reports and advertising or sales materials, mailing, long distance telephone and staff subject to limitations included in the Investment Advisory Agreement;

• fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the 1940 Act and applicable federal and state securities laws;

• brokerage commissions for our investments;

• all other expenses incurred by us or SIC Advisors in connection with administering our investment portfolio, including expenses incurred by SIC Advisors in performing certain of its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; and

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

Administrative Services

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

SIC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of our portfolio investments and rates each of them based on the categories set forth below, which we refer to as SIC Advisors’ investment credit rating. Investment credit ratings are assigned to each of the investments in our portfolio that are directly held by the Company, but exclude any off-balance sheet interests of the Company, such as the loans underlying the TRS:

Investment Credit Rating	Definition
1	Investments that are performing above expectations.
2	Investments that are performing within expectations, with risks that are neutral or favorable compared to risks at the time of origination or purchase. All new loans are rated ‘2’.
3	Investments that are performing below expectations and that require closer monitoring, but where no loss of interest, dividend or principal is expected. Companies rated ‘3’ may be out of compliance with financial covenants, however, loan payments are generally not past due.
4	Investments that are performing below expectations and for which risk has increased materially since origination or purchase. Some loss of interest or dividend is expected, but no loss of principal. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due).
5	Investments that are performing substantially below expectations and whose risks have increased substantially since origination or purchase. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Some loss of principal is expected.

The following table shows the distribution of our investment portfolio, not including cash and cash equivalents, on the 1 to 5 investment credit rating scale at fair value as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Investment Income

Total investment income decreased $984,320, or 4.0%, to $23,906,563 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 24,890,883 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the size of the underlying portfolio due to our reduced leverage utilization. Fee income increased $1,447,910, or 152.8%, to $2,395,376 for the three months ended June 30, 2019,

Total expenses	$	12,047,035	$	12,630,171	$	24,162,802	$	25,575,866

Total expenses decreased $583,136, or 4.6%, to $12,047,035 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $12,630,171 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an decrease in base management fees. Total expenses decreased $1,413,064, or 5.5%, to $24,162,802 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $25,575,866 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to a decrease in base management fees.

Base management fees decreased $498,957, or 10.3%, to $4,335,538 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $4,834,495 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to a decrease in our gross assets. Base management fees decreased $1,060,683, or 10.8%, to $8,777,628 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $9,838,311 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to a decrease in our gross assets.

Interest and financing expenses increased $273,258, or 2.6%, to $10,665,467 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $10,392,209 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in the weighted average interest rate of our credit facilities, which is a result of an increase in LIBOR rates of 0.9%, or a 18.75% increase.

Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement

From June 29, 2012 through December 31, 2016, we were party to an Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement with SIC Advisors (the “Expense Support Agreement”). During the term of the Expense Support Agreement, SIC Advisors reimbursed us for operating expenses in an amount equal to the difference between our distributions paid to stockholders in each month, less the sum of our net investment income, net realized capital gains and dividends paid to us from our portfolio companies, not included in net income and net realized capital gains, during such period (“Expense Support Reimbursement”). To the extent that no dividends or other distributions were paid to our stockholders in any given month, then the Expense Support Reimbursement for such month was equal to such amount necessary in order for available operating funds for the month to equal zero. From April 1, 2016 until the expiration of the Expense Support Agreement on December 31, 2016, SIC Advisors made expense support payments on a discretionary basis by making an election on the last day of each month to fund an expense support payment in an amount equal to the difference between our distributions paid to stockholders during such month less the sum of our net investment income, net realized capital gains and dividends paid to us from our portfolio companies, not included in net income and net realized capital gains during such period.

10

The purpose of the Expense Support Agreement was to cover distributions to stockholders so as to ensure that the distributions did not constitute a return of capital for GAAP purposes and to reduce operating expenses until we had raised sufficient capital to be able to absorb such expenses. The Expense Support Agreement expired on December 31, 2016.

Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, we will reimburse SIC Advisors for expense support payments it previously made following any calendar quarter for which we received net investment income, net realized capital gains and dividends from our portfolio companies (not included in net income and net realized capital gains) in excess of the distributions paid to our stockholders during such calendar quarter (the “Excess Operating Funds”). Any such reimbursement will be made within three years of the date that the expense support payment obligation was incurred by SIC Advisors, subject to the conditions described below. The amount of the reimbursement during any calendar quarter will equal the lesser of (i) the Excess Operating Funds received during the quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all expense payments made by SIC Advisors that have not yet been reimbursed. In addition, we will only make reimbursement payments to the extent our current annualized “operating expense ratio” is equal to or less than our operating expense ratio for the quarter during which the corresponding expense obligation was incurred and to the extent the annualized rate of its regular cash dividends to our stockholders for the month is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of our regular cash distributions to stockholders for the month during which the corresponding expense payment was incurred.

Net Realized Gains/Losses on Investments

We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of an investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized net realized gain on investments of $1,333,156 and net realized loss on investments of $15,252,439, respectively, primarily due to certain non-cash restructuring transactions and the wind-down of our TRS facility. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized net realized loss on investments of $133,829 and net realized loss on investments of $30,836,305, respectively, primarily due to certain non-cash restructuring transactions.

Net Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Investments

Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments reflects the net change in the fair value of our investments including the TRS and provision for deferred taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a net change in unrealized depreciation of $30,246,762 and depreciation of $7,542,488, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a net change in unrealized depreciation of $17,454,160 and appreciation of $820,898.

Changes in Net Assets from Operations

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a net decrease of $17,054,078 and a net decrease of $2,140,706, respectively, in net assets resulting from operations. Based on 100,135,004 and 99,649,414 weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, our per share net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was $0.17 and $0.02, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a net decrease of $5,327,277 and a net decrease of $6,340,350, respectively, in net assets resulting from operations. Based on 97,385,971 and 97,190,689 weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, our per share net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was $0.05 and $0.07, respectively.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a BDC, we distribute substantially all of our net income to our stockholders and have an ongoing need to raise additional capital for investment purposes. To fund growth, we have a number of alternatives available to increase capital; including raising equity, increasing debt, and funding from operational cash flow.

Our liquidity and capital resources historically have been generated primarily from the net proceeds of our public offering of common stock, use of our credit facilities and our TRS. Currently, our primary source of liquidity derived from the use of our credit facility.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $161,214,258 and $59,481,495, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents. In the future, we may generate cash from future offerings of securities, future borrowings and cash flows from operations, including interest earned from the temporary investment of cash in U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. Our primary use of funds is investments in our targeted asset classes, cash distributions to our stockholders, and other general corporate purposes.

In order to satisfy the Code requirements applicable to a RIC, we intend to distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our taxable income, but we may also elect to periodically spillover certain excess undistributed taxable income from one tax year into the next tax year. In addition, as a BDC, we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities,

11

which include borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200% (or 150% if certain requirements under the 1940 Act are met). This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow.

The following table shows our net borrowings as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	June 30, 2019							December 31, 2018

On August 12, 2016, we amended our ING Credit Facility pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement with certain lenders party thereto from time to time and ING Capital LLC, as administrative agent. The ING Credit Facility matures on August 12, 2020 and is secured by substantially all of our assets, subject to certain exclusions as further set forth in the Security Agreement entered into in connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement, among us, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, ING Capital LLC, as Administrative Agent, each Financial Agent and Designated Indebtedness Holder party thereto and ING Capital LLC, as Collateral Agent. The ING Credit Facility also includes usual and customary representations, covenants and events of default for senior secured revolving credit facilities of this nature. On February 13, 2015, commitments to the ING credit facility were expanded from $150 million to $170 million. On August 12, 2016, commitments to the ING credit facility were expanded from $170 million to $175 million. On April 20, 2017, commitments to the ING Credit Facility were expanded from $175 million to $220 million. On February 8, 2019, we amended our ING Credit Facility, among other things, to permit the transactions contemplated by the MCC Merger Agreement and the MDLY Merger Agreement.

The ING Credit Facility allows for us, at our option, to borrow money at a rate of either (i) an alternate base rate plus 1.50% per annum or (ii) LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum. The interest rate margins are subject to certain step-downs upon the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the Revolving Credit Agreement. The alternate base rate will be the greatest of (i) the U.S. Prime Rate set forth in the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%, and (iii) three month LIBOR plus 1%. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the commitment under the ING Credit Facility was $220 million and includes an accordion feature that allows for potential future expansion of the ING Credit Facility up to a total of $500 million. Availability of loans under the ING Credit Facility is linked to the valuation of the collateral pursuant to a borrowing base mechanism.

We are also required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders based on the daily unused portion of the aggregate commitments under the ING Credit Facility. The commitment fee is (i) 1.50% if the used portion of the aggregate commitments is less than or equal to 40%, (ii) 0.75% if the used portion of the aggregate commitments is greater than 40% and less than or equal to 65% or (iii) 0.50% if the used portion of the aggregate commitments is greater than 65%. The ING Credit Facility provides that we may use the proceeds of the facility for general corporate purposes, including making investments in accordance with our investment objective and strategy. As of June 30, 2019, our borrowings under the ING Facility totaled $88,100,000 and were recorded as part of revolving credit facility payable on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

On September 29, 2017, the Company’s wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, Alpine, amended it's existing revolving credit facility (the “Alpine Credit Facility”) pursuant to an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan”), as administrative agent and lender, the Financing Providers from time to time party thereto, SIC Advisors, as the portfolio manager, and the Collateral Administrator, Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary party thereto (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) extend the reinvestment period until December 29, 2020, (ii) extend the scheduled termination date until March 29, 2022, (iii) decrease the applicable margin for advances to 2.85% per annum and (iv) increase the compliance condition for net advances to 55% of net asset value. Alpine’s obligations to JPMorgan under the Alpine Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Alpine, including its portfolio of loans. The obligations of Alpine under the Alpine Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company.

Borrowings under the Alpine Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a NAV coverage ratio with respect to the current value of Alpine’s portfolio and various eligibility criteria must be satisfied with respect to the initial acquisition of each loan in Alpine’s portfolio. Any amounts borrowed under the Alpine Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on March 29, 2022. As of June 30, 2019, Alpine’s borrowings under the Alpine Credit Facility totaled $240,000,000 and were recorded as part of revolving credit facility payable on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

We have entered into certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. On April 5, 2012, we entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with SIC Advisors in accordance with the 1940 Act. The Investment Advisory Agreement became effective as of April 17, 2012, the date that we met the minimum offering requirement. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the initial term of the Investment Advisory Agreement was for two years from its effective date, with one-year renewals subject to approval by our board of directors, a majority of whom must be independent directors. On April 4, 2019, the board of directors approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term at an in-person meeting. SIC Advisors serves as our investment adviser in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Payments under our Investment Advisory Agreement in each reporting period consist of (i) a management fee equal to a percentage of the value of our gross assets and (ii) an incentive fee based on our performance.

On April 5, 2012, we entered into the Administration Agreement with Medley Capital LLC with an initial term of two years, pursuant to which Medley Capital LLC furnishes us with administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. On April 4, 2019, the board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an additional one-year term at an in-person meeting. Medley Capital LLC is reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on our behalf in performing its obligations. Such costs are reasonably allocated to us on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. We do not reimburse Medley Capital LLC for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of Medley Capital LLC.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

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

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

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

Transactions in TRS contracts during the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $0.1 million in realized losses and $0.1 million in net change in unrealized depreciation, which are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Transactions in TRS contracts during the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $1.0 million in realized losses and $0.3 million in net change in unrealized depreciation, which are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our derivative asset from Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement as of June 30, 2019, was $0.0 million, which is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable due on total return swap.

The volume of the Company’s derivative transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Average notional amount of contracts (1)	$	—	$	168,753,875	$	30,563,576	$	170,174,081

(1) Average notional amount is based on the average month end balances for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, which is representative of the volume of notional contract amounts held during each year.

On March 27, 2015, the Company and GALIC entered into a limited liability company operating agreement to co-manage Sierra JV. All portfolio and other material decisions regarding Sierra JV must be submitted to Sierra JV's board of managers, which is comprised of four members, two of whom are selected by the Company and the other two are selected by GALIC. The Company has concluded that it does not operationally control Sierra JV. As the Company does not operationally control Sierra JV, it does not consolidate the operations of Sierra JV within the consolidated financial statements. As a practical expedient, the Company uses NAV to determine the fair value of its investment in Sierra JV; therefore, this investment has been presented as a reconciling item within the fair value hierarchy (see Note 4). As of June 30, 2019, there was $204.9 million outstanding under the JV Facility and the Sierra JV had total assets of $295.9 million. As of June 30, 2019, Sierra JV’s portfolio was comprised of 100.0% of senior secured first lien term loans to 60 different portfolio companies with one portfolio company on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2018, Sierra JV’s portfolio was comprised of 100% of senior secured first lien term loans to 58 different portfolio companies with one portfolio company on non-accrual status.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Sierra JV had total capital commitments of $116 million, with the Company providing $101.5 million and GALIC providing $14.5 million. Approximately $105.2 million was funded as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, relating to these commitments, of which $92.1 million was from the Company. The Company does not have the right to withdraw any of their respective capital commitment, unless in connection with a transfer of its membership interests. The Company may transfer full membership interests as long as it is approved by all members and transferred in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws

On August 4, 2015, Sierra JV entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility the ("JV Facility") led by Credit Suisse, AG ("CS") with commitments of $100 million subject to certain leverage and borrowing base restrictions. On December 29, 2015, the JV Facility was amended and the total commitments were increased to $135 million. On March 30, 2017, the Company amended the JV Facility previously administered by CS and facilitated the assignment of all rights and obligations of CS under the JV Facility to Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, ("DB") and increased the total loan commitments to $240 million. On May 26, 2017 commitments to the JV facility were increased from $240 million to $250 million. On June 28, 2019, the JV Facility reinvestment period was further extended to October 28, 2019. The JV Facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR (with no minimum) plus 2.50% per annum and the stated maturity date is March 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was $204.9 million outstanding under the JV Facility.

We have determined that the Sierra JV is an investment company under ASC 946, however in accordance with such guidance, we will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly owned investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to us. Accordingly, we do not consolidate our interest in the Sierra JV.

Distributions

We have elected, and intend to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain RIC tax treatment, we must, among others things, distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders. In order to avoid certain U.S. federal excise taxes imposed on RICs, we must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (i) 98% of our ordinary income for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made by us to use our taxable year) and (iii) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax.

14

While we intend to distribute any income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize imposition of the 4% U.S. federal excise tax, sufficient amounts of our taxable income and capital gains may not be distributed to avoid entirely the imposition of the tax. In that event, we will be liable for the tax only on the amount by which we do not meet the foregoing distribution requirement.

We currently intend to distribute net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually out of the assets legally available for such distributions. However, we may decide in the future to retain such capital gains for investment and elect to treat such gains as deemed distributions to you. If this happens, you will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if you had received an actual distribution of the capital gains that we retain and reinvested the net after tax proceeds in us. In this situation, you would be eligible to claim a tax credit (or, in certain circumstances, a tax refund) equal to your allocable share of the tax we paid on the capital gains deemed distributed to you. We can offer no assurance that we will continue to achieve results that will permit the payment of any cash distributions and, if we issue senior securities, we may be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

Subject to our board of directors’ discretion and applicable legal restrictions, we expect to authorize and pay monthly distributions to our stockholders. Any distributions to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. We expect to continue making monthly distributions unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, general economic conditions, or other factors prohibit us from doing so. From time to time, but not less than quarterly, we will review our accounts to determine whether distributions to our stockholders are appropriate. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. From the commencement of our offering through September 30, 2016, a portion of our distributions were comprised in part of expense support payments made by SIC Advisors that may be subject to repayment by us within three years of the date of such support payment. The purpose of this arrangement was to cover distributions to stockholders so as to ensure that the distributions did not constitute a return of capital for GAAP purposes. In the future, we may have distributions which could be characterized as a return of capital. Such distributions are not based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods and/or SIC Advisors elects to make expense support payments under an expense support agreement. Any future reimbursements to SIC Advisors will reduce the net investment income that may otherwise be available for distribution to stockholders. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the performance necessary to sustain our distributions or that we will be able to pay distributions at all. SIC Advisors has no obligation to enter into a renewed expense support agreement.

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

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that the Company has declared or paid to its stockholders during 2019 and 2018. Stockholders of record as of each respective record date were entitled to receive the distribution.

We have adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to which common stockholders may elect to have the full amount of any cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. As a result, if we declare a cash distribution, stockholders that have “opted in” to our distribution reinvestment plan will have their distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock rather than receiving cash dividends. Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of shares of common stock will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.

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

The dealer manager agreement that we entered into with SC Distributors, LLC in connection with our offering was terminated pursuant to its terms in connection with the termination of our offering, effective as of July 31, 2018.

On August 9, 2018, the Company entered into the MCC Merger Agreement pursuant to which MCC will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the MCC Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the MCC Merger Agreement. Under the MCC Merger, each share of MCC’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MCC Merger effective time, other than shares of MCC common stock held by MCC, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, will be converted into the right to receive 0.8050 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, on August 9, 2018, the Company entered into the MDLY Merger Agreement, pursuant to which MDLY will on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the MDLY Merger Agreement. In the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, other than Dissenting Shares (as defined in the MDLY Merger Agreement) and shares of MDLY Class A common stock held by MDLY, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.3836 shares of the Company’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $3.44 per share. In addition, MDLY’s stockholders will have the right to receive certain dividends and/or other payments. The Mergers will occur simultaneously and, as a result of the foregoing, the investment management function relating to the operation of the Company, as the surviving company in the Mergers, will be internalized.

The Mergers are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions, including, but not limited to: (a) the approval of the MCC Merger and the MDLY Merger by the Company’s stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all its stockholders, the approval of the adoption of the MCC Merger Agreement by MCC’s stockholders, and the approval of the adoption of the MDLY Merger Agreement by MDLY’s stockholders, voting separately at their respective special meetings; (b) the receipt of an exemptive order from the SEC, an exemptive application for which has been filed by the Company, MCC and MDLY and certain of their subsidiaries; and (c) the approval by the SBA relating to the transfer of MCC’s Small Business Investment Company

license. No assurance can be given that such SEC exemptive order will be issued or SBA approval will be received or that any of the other closing conditions will be satisfied or waived.

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

Management Fee

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

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

• An incentive fee on net investment income (“subordinated incentive fee on income”) is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and is based upon pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding quarter. No subordinated incentive fee on income is payable in any calendar quarter in which pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed a quarterly return to stockholders of 1.75% per quarter on our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, or the preferred quarterly return. All pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the preferred quarterly return, but is less than or equal to 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter in any quarter, will be payable to SIC Advisors. We refer to this portion of our subordinated incentive fee on income as the catch up. It is intended to provide an incentive fee of 20% on pre-incentive fee net investment income when pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter in any quarter. For any quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, the subordinated incentive fee on income shall equal 20% of the amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income, because the preferred return and catch up will have been achieved.

• A capital gains incentive fee will be earned on realized investments and shall be payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year during which the Investment Advisory Agreement is in effect. If the Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated, the fee will become payable as of the effective date of such termination. The capital gains incentive fee is based on our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, which we refer to as “net realized capital gains.” The capital gains incentive fee equals 20% of net realized capital gains, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fee.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

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

17

Valuation of Investments

We apply fair value accounting to all of its financial instruments in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, we have categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as identified below and discussed in Note 4.

• Level 1 — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. Publicly listed equities and publicly listed derivatives will be included in Level 1. In addition, securities sold, but not yet purchased and call options will be included in Level 1. We will not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably affect the quoted price.

• Level 2 — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. In certain cases, debt and equity securities are valued on the basis of prices from an orderly transaction between market participants provided by reputable dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments, and various relationships between investments. Investments which are generally expected to be included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, convertible debt indexed to publicly listed securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives.

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

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, our own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or multiple broker-dealers or market makers. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes, if any, in determining fair value based on our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer. However, debt investments with remaining maturities within 60 days that are not credit impaired are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by our board of directors based upon input from management and third party valuation firms. Because these investments are illiquid and because there may not be any directly comparable companies whose financial instruments have observable market values, these loans are valued using a fundamental valuation methodology, consistent with traditional asset pricing standards, that is objective and consistently applied across all loans and through time.

We use third-party valuation firms to assist the board of directors in the valuation of its portfolio investments. The valuation reports generated by the third-party valuation firms consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market based information, including comparable transactions, performance multiples, and movement in yields of debt instruments, among other factors. Based on market data obtained from the third-party valuation firms, we use a combined market yield analysis and an enterprise model of valuation. In applying the market yield analysis, the value of our loans are determined based upon inputs such as the coupon rate, current market yield, interest rate spreads of similar securities, the stated value of the loan, and the length to maturity. In applying the enterprise model, we use a waterfall analysis which takes into account the specific capital structure of the borrower and the related seniority of the instruments within the borrower’s capital structure into consideration. To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we weigh some or all of the traditional market valuation methods and factors based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to estimate the enterprise value. The methodologies for performing investments may be based on, among other things: valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, third party valuations of the portfolio company, considering offers from third parties to buy the company, estimating the value to potential strategic buyers and considering the value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. For non-performing investments, we may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets and liabilities using an expected recovery model. We may estimate the fair value of warrants based on a model such as the Black-Scholes model or simulation models or a combination thereof.

18

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

• our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio investment being initially valued by the valuation professionals;

• conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management; and

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

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

• management reviews preliminary valuations and their own independent assessment;

• the audit committee of our board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of senior management and independent valuation firms; and

• our board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of SIC Advisors, the respective independent valuation firms and the audit committee.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

The valuation procedures described are generally applied to the loans underlying the TRS, except that such assets are not reviewed by independent third party valuation firms. We will value the TRS in accordance with the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS will be based on the increase or decrease in the value of the assets underlying the TRS, together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The assets underlying the TRS will be valued by Citibank. Citibank will base its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations are sent to us for review and testing. Our board of directors will review and approve the value of the TRS, as well as the value of the assets underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly determination of NAV. To the extent our board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the assets underlying the TRS, such valuation will be discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS. For additional disclosures on the TRS, see “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.”

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

Revenue Recognition

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

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

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

19

Payment-in-Kind Interest

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

Organizational and Offering Expenses

We have been responsible for all ongoing organizational and offering expenses since June 2, 2014 until the termination of the Company's offering effective as of July 31, 2018.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes

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

Recent Developments

On July 25, 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), with certain lenders party thereto, ING Capital LLC, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and, solely with respect to Section 2.10 of the Amendment, SIC AAR LLC, SIC Investment Holdings LLC and Sierra Management, Inc., as subsidiary guarantors. The Amendment amends certain provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended by Amendment No. 1, the “Prior Facility” and, as further amended by Amendment No. 2, the “Facility”) to, among other things, (i) reduce the size of the commitments thereunder from $220.0 million to $215.0 million, (ii) extend the Revolver Termination Date (as defined in the Prior Facility) from August 12, 2019 to March 31, 2020 and (iii) extend the Maturity Date (as defined in the Prior Facility) from August 12, 2020 to March 31, 2021. As of July 25, 2019, total commitments under the Facility are $215.0 million.

On July 28, 2019, our board of directors declared a series of monthly distributions for July, August and September 2019 in the amount of $0.05334 per share. Stockholders of record as of each respective monthly record date will be entitled to receive the distribution. Below are the details for each respective distribution:

Record Date	Payment Date	Amount per share
July 30, 2019	July 31, 2019	$0.05334
August 29, 2019	August 30, 2019	0.05334
September 27, 2019	September 30, 2019	0.05334

On July 29, 2019, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MCC Merger Agreement”), by an between MCC and the Company, pursuant to which MCC will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the MCC Merger. In the MCC Merger, each share of MCC’s common stock (other than shares of MCC’s common stock held by MCC, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, will be exchanged for the right to receive (i) 0.68 shares of the Company’s common stock if the attorneys’ fees of plaintiffs’ counsel and litigation expenses paid or incurred by plaintiffs’ counsel or advanced by plaintiffs in connection with the Class Action (such fees and expenses, the “Plaintiff Attorney Fees”) are less than or equal to $10,000,000, (ii) 0.66 shares of the Company’s common stock if the Plaintiff Attorney Fees are equal to or greater than $15,000,000, and (iii) between 0.68 and 0.66 per share of the Company’s common stock if the Plaintiff Attorney Fees are greater than $10,000,000 but less than $15,000,000, calculated on a descending basis, based on straight line interpolation between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000.

In addition, on July 29, 2019, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amended MDLY Merger Agreement”) by and among MDLY, the Company, and Merger Sub, pursuant to which MDLY will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the MDLY Merger. In the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY’s Class A common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the MDLY Merger, other than shares of MDLY’s Class A common stock held by MDLY, the Company or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Excluded MDLY Shares”) and the Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement), held, immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, by any person other than a Unitholder (as defined below), will be exchanged for (i) 0.2668 shares of the Company’s common stock;

20

plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.96 per share. In addition, in the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY’s Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, other than the Excluded MDLY Shares and the Dissenting Shares, held, immediately prior to the MDLY Merger effective time, by holders of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Medley LLC (the “Medley LLC Units” and, holders of the Medley LLC Units at any time on or after July 29, 2019, the “Unitholders”) will be exchanged for (i) 0.2072 shares of the Company’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.66 per share.

Pursuant to terms of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, the consummation of the MCC Merger is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to closing under the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement and the consummation of the MDLY Merger. However, pursuant to the terms of the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, the consummation of the MDLY Merger is not contingent upon the consummation of the MCC Merger. If both Mergers are successfully consummated, our common stock would be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers, and our common stock will be listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the MCC Merger. If, however, only the MDLY Merger is consummated, our common stock would be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. If both Mergers are successfully consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would be combined, Merger Sub, as a successor to MDLY, would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company, and the Combined Company would be internally managed by MCC Advisors LLC, its wholly controlled adviser subsidiary. If only the MDLY Merger is consummated, while the investment portfolios of MCC and the Company would not be combined, the investment management function relating to the operation of the Company, as the surviving company, would still be internalized.

Notwithstanding the suspension of the share repurchase program and, in connection with the Amended and Restated MCC Merger Agreement, our board of directors approved the repurchase of shares of our common stock from our stockholder who have requested repurchases in connection with such stockholder’s death or disability.

Effective as of August 31, 2019, Jeff Tonkel is retiring and will be a senior advisor to the Medley platform and will remain a director of MDLY and MCC. Accordingly, Mr. Tonkel will resign from his positions as President of MDLY, the Company, and Sierra Total Return Fund. Mr. Tonkel’s decision to resign as President of MDLY, the Company, and Sierra Total Return Fund was not due to any dispute or disagreement with MDLY, the Company, or Sierra Total Return Fund, or on any matter relating to the operations, policies or practices of MDLY, the Company, or Sierra Total Return Fund.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2019, 93.0% of our portfolio investments (based on fair value) paid floating interest rates, while 7.0% paid fixed interest rates and 10.6% were non-income producing investments while 89.4% were income producing investments. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to any variable rate investments we hold and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we hold. In addition, a rise in interest rates may increase the likelihood that a portfolio company defaults on a loan. However, many of our variable rate investments provide for an interest rate floor, which may prevent our interest income from increasing until benchmark interest rates increase beyond a threshold amount. To the extent that a substantial portion of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates beyond this threshold would make it easier for us to meet or exceed the hurdle rate applicable to the subordinated incentive fee on income under the Investment Advisory Agreement we have entered into with SIC Advisors, and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income and to the amount of incentive fees payable to SIC Advisors with respect to our increased pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Under the terms of the TRS between Arbor and Citibank, Arbor will pay fees to Citibank at a floating rate based on LIBOR in exchange for the right to receive the economic benefit of a portfolio of assets having a maximum notional amount of $180 million. Our interest expense will also be affected by changes in the published LIBOR rate in connection with our credit facilities. We expect any future credit facilities, total return swap agreements or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries may enter into will also be based on a floating interest rate. As a result, we are subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates, when we or our subsidiaries have debt outstanding or financing arrangements in effect, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments.

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

21

Based on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2019, the following table shows the approximate annual impact on the change in net interest income of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates, assuming no changes in our investment portfolio and capital structure:

	Change in
Basis point increase/(decrease)	Interest Income (1)			Interest Expense			Net Interest Income
300	$	19,305,160		$	9,843,000		$	9,462,160
200	12,870,106			6,562,000			6,308,106
100	6,435,053			3,281,000			3,154,053
(100)	(6,435,053		)	(3,281,000		)	(3,154,053		)
(200)	(8,757,358		)	(6,562,000		)	(2,195,358		)
(300)	(8,757,358		)	(7,867,838		)	(889,520		)

(1) Assumes no defaults or prepayments by portfolio companies over the next twelve months.

We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and debt. If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

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

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of our business. Our businesses are also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. Except as described below, we are not currently party to any material legal proceedings.

On January 25, 2019, two purported class actions were commenced in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, by alleged stockholders of Medley Capital Corporation, captioned, respectively, Helene Lax v. Brook Taube, et al., Index No. 650503/2019, and Richard Dicristino, et al. v. Brook Taube, et al., Index No. 650510/2019 (together with the Lax Action, the “New York Actions”). Named as defendants in each complaint are Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeffrey Tonkel, Arthur S. Ainsberg, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Mark Lerdal, Richard T. Allorto, Jr., MCC, MDLY, the Company and Merger Sub. The complaints in each of the New York Actions allege that the individuals named as defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed merger of MCC with and into the Company, and that the other defendants aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. Compensatory damages in unspecified amounts are sought. On February 27, 2019, the Court entered a stipulated scheduling order requiring that defendants respond to the complaints 45 days following the later of (a) the stockholder vote on the proposed merger and (b) plaintiffs’ filing of a consolidated, amended complaint. A preliminary conference is scheduled to take place on September 24, 2019. The defendants believe the claims asserted in the New York Actions are without merit and they intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously.

Set forth below is a description of the Decision (as defined below), which should be read in the context of the impact that the Decision and corresponding Stipulation (as defined below) may have on the Company with respect to any potential amendment to the Merger Agreements.

On February 11, 2019, a putative stockholder class action was commenced in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd. (collectively, “FrontFour”). The action, as consolidated, is captioned In re Medley Capital Corporation Stockholder Litigation, C.A. 2019-0100-KSJM against Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MDLY, the Company, MCC, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC (the “Class Action”). The complaint alleged that MCC’s directors (directors (Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, and Arthur S. Ainsberg) breached their fiduciary duties to MCC stockholders in connection with the MCC Merger, and that MDLY, the Company, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On March 11, 2019, following a two-day trial, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion (the “Decision”) denying FrontFour’s requests to (i) permanently enjoin the MCC Merger and (ii) require MCC to conduct a “shopping process” for MCC on terms proposed by FrontFour in its complaint. The Court held that MCC’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the MCC Merger, but rejected FrontFour’s claim that Sierra aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duties. The Court ordered the defendants to issue corrective disclosures consistent with the Decision, and enjoined a vote of MCC stockholders on the MCC Merger until such disclosures have been made and stockholders have had the opportunity to assimilate this information. On March 20, 2019, another purported stockholder class action was commenced by Stephen Altman against Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Arthur S. Ainsberg, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, Mark Lerdal, and John E. Mack in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Altman v. Taube, Case No. 2019-0219 (the “Altman Action”). The complaint alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders of MCC in connection with the vote of MCC stockholders

23

on the proposed mergers. On April 8, 2019, the Court granted a stipulation consolidating the Class Action and the Altman Action, designating the amended complaint in the Class Action as the operative complaint, and designating the plaintiffs in the Class Action and their counsel the lead plaintiffs and lead plaintiffs’ counsel, respectively.

On April 15, 2019, certain parties in the Class Action reached agreement on the principal terms of a settlement of the Class Action, which are contained in a binding term sheet, dated April 15, 2019 (the “Settlement Term Sheet”). On July 29, 2019, MCC entered into a Stipulation of Settlement (and, as amended, on August 8, 2019, the “Stipulation”) by and among Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MDLY, MCC, MCC Advisors, Medley LLC, and Medley Group LLC (the “Medley Parties”), on the one hand, and FrontFour, on behalf of itself and a class of similarly situated stockholders of MCC, on the other hand, in connection with the Class Action.

The Stipulation provides for the settlement of all claims brought against the Medley Parties in the Class Action. Under the Stipulation, MCC agreed to seek the agreement and/or consent of Sierra to effect certain amendments to (i) the MCC Merger Agreement and (ii) the MDLY Merger Agreement (together with the MCC Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”), which have been reflected in the amended and restated Merger Agreements annexed to the Stipulation. The Stipulation also provides for, if the MCC Merger is consummated, create a settlement fund, consisting of $17 million in cash and $30 million of Sierra stock, with the number of shares of Sierra stock to be calculated using the pro forma net asset value reported in the future proxy supplement describing the amendments to the MCC Merger Agreement, which will be distributed to eligible members of the Settlement Class (as defined in the Stipulation). Under the Stipulation, MDLY also consented to certain amendments to the Merger Agreements that have been reflected in the amended and restated Merger Agreements annexed to the Stipulation. In addition, in connection with the Stipulation, on July 29, 2019, MCC entered into a Governance Agreement with FrontFour Capital Group LLC, FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd., FrontFour Capital Corp., FrontFour Opportunity Fund, David A. Lorber, Stephen E. Loukas and Zachary R. George, pursuant to which, among other matters, FrontFour is subject to customary standstill restrictions and required to vote in favor of the MCC Merger under the amended and restated MCC Merger Agreement at a meeting of stockholders to approve the amended and restated MCC Merger Agreement.

The Stipulation also provides for mutual releases between and among FrontFour and the Settlement Class, on the one hand, and the Medley Parties, on the other hand, of all claims that were or could have been asserted in the Class Action. The Medley Parties will also release all claims arising out of or relating to the prosecution and settlement of the Class Action and all claims that were or could have been asserted (other than claims against the Highland Parties, as defined in the Stipulation) in the litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned Medley Capital Corporation v. FrontFour Capital Group LLC, et al., No. 1:19-cv-02055-LTS (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Federal Action”), and FrontFour and the Class will release all claims arising out of or relating to the prosecution and settlement of the Federal Action.

The Stipulation further provides that MCC and FrontFour shall work together in good faith to agree to supplemental disclosures relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements consistent with the Decision. The Stipulation is subject to the approval of the Court. The Court is expected to schedule a hearing on October 24, 2019 to consider the Stipulation.

On April 5, 2019, a purported stockholder class action was commenced in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, by alleged stockholders of Sierra Income Corporation, captioned Roger Anderson et al. v. Stephen R. Byers et al., Index No. 652006/2019.  Named as defendants are Stephen R. Byers, Oliver T. Kane, Valerie Lancaster-Beal, Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Sierra Income Corporation, and Sierra Management, Inc.  The complaint alleges that the individuals named as defendants breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders of Sierra Income Corporation in connection with the proposed mergers of Medley Capital Corporation with and into Sierra Income Corporation and Medley Management Inc. with and into Sierra Management, Inc., and that Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Sierra Income Corporation, and Sierra Management, Inc. aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks to enjoin the proposed mergers or, in the alternative, to recover money damages in an unspecified amount.  On July 16, 2019, the parties filed a Stipulation and Proposed Scheduling Order, which provides, subject to approval of the court, that the plaintiff shall file an amended complaint by September 17, 2019, and that the defendants’ time to respond to the amended complaint will be sixty days following the filing of the amended complaint. A preliminary conference is currently scheduled for September 24, 2019.  The defendants believe the claims asserted in the action are without merit and they intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Other than the items disclosed below, there have been no material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to the risk factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K. Additional risks or uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Risks Relating to the Mergers

On August 9, 2018, the Company entered into the MCC Merger Agreement pursuant to which MCC would, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the MCC Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the MCC Merger (the "Combined Company"). In addition, on August 9, 2018, the Company entered into the MDLY Merger Agreement, pursuant to which MDLY would, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the MDLY Merger, and MDLY’s existing asset management business would continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company. On July 29, 2019, the Company entered into the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, pursuant to which MCC will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the MCC Merger. In addition, on July 29, 2019, the Company entered into the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the MDLY Merger. For more information, please refer to the Registration Statement on Form N-14 that includes a joint proxy statement of the Company, MCC, and MDLY and, with respect to the Company, constitutes a prospectus, which was first mailed or otherwise delivered to stockholders of the Company, MCC, and MDLY on or about December 21, 2018 (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), as well as the amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus that the Company, MCC, and MDLY intends to file with the SEC and mail to their respective stockholders.

There can be no assurances when or if the Mergers will be completed.

Although the Company, MCC and MDLY expect to complete the Mergers as early as the fourth quarter of 2019, there can be no assurances as to the exact timing of completion of the Mergers, that both Mergers will be completed, or that the Mergers will be completed at all. The completion of the Mergers is subject to numerous conditions, including, among others, the continued effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form N-14; the approval of our common stock (including shares of our common stock to be issued in the Mergers) for listing on the NYSE; receipt of requisite approvals of each of our stockholders, MCC’s stockholders, and MDLY’s stockholders; receipt of required regulatory approvals, including from the SEC (including necessary exemptive relief to consummate the merger transactions), approval by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware of the Stipulation of Settlement in connection with the consolidated actions under caption of In re Medley Capital Corporation Stockholder Litigation, C.A. No. 2019-0100-KSJM, any necessary approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, amended, and, if applicable, state securities regulators; confirmation by the SEC that Merger Sub, as the successor to MDLY in the MDLY Merger, will be treated as a portfolio investment of the Company following the consummation of the MDLY Merger and reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at fair value for accounting purposes (i.e., not consolidated into the financial statements of the Company); the relevant parties having taken all actions reasonably required in order to keep existing indebtedness outstanding following the Mergers; receipt of necessary consents relating to joint ventures of the Company and MCC; receipt of a specified level of consents from third-party advisory clients of MDLY; with respect to the MDLY Merger, satisfaction (or appropriate waiver) of the conditions to closing of the MCC Merger; and other customary closing conditions.

The Company, MCC and MDLY cannot assure their respective stockholders that the conditions required to complete the Mergers will be satisfied or waived on the anticipated schedule, or at all. If the Mergers are not completed, the resulting failure of the Mergers could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s, MCC’s, and MDLY’s financial condition, results of operations, assets or business. In accordance with the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, MCC’s special committee announced the commencement of the 60-day “go shop” period, the results of which are uncertain. In addition, if the Mergers are not completed, the Company, MCC, and MDLY will have incurred substantial expenses for which no ultimate benefit will have been received. See “- If the Mergers do not close, we will benefit from the expenses incurred in its pursuit” in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Moreover, if either the Amended MCC Merger Agreement or the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, the Company, MCC or MDLY may be obligated to pay the other party to the applicable merger agreement a termination fee. See “- Under certain circumstances, the Company, MCC or MDLY may be obligated to pay a termination fee upon termination of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement or the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement.” Any decision that our stockholders, MCC’s stockholders, and MDLY’s stockholder make should be made with the understanding that the completion of the Mergers may not happen as scheduled, or at all.

25

If the Mergers are completed, certain additional risks regarding the Combined Company following the Mergers may be presented.

We may be targets of securities class action and derivative lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the completion of the Mergers.

The Company is currently a defendant in the New York Actions, the Class Actions, and a purported stockholder class action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York captioned Roger Anderson et al. v. Stephen R. Byers et al. The Company may be a target of additional securities class action and derivative lawsuits. Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into merger agreements in an effort to enjoin the merger or seek monetary relief from such companies. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. We cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, or others, if any, nor can we predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve any such litigation. An unfavorable resolution of any such litigation surrounding the Mergers could delay or prevent their consummation. In addition, the costs defending the litigation, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial and such litigation could distract us from pursuing the consummation of the Mergers and other potentially beneficial business opportunities.

Under certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay a termination fee upon termination of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement or the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement.

The Amended MCC Merger Agreement provides for the payment by the Company or MCC to the other party a termination fee of $6,000,000 in cash if the Amended MCC Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company or MCC under certain circumstances. The Amended MDLY Merger Agreement provides for the payment by the Company or MDLY to the other party a termination fee of $3,000,000 in cash if the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company or MDLY under certain circumstances.

The Amended MCC Merger Agreement limits our ability to actively pursue alternatives to the MCC Merger and to accept a superior proposal.

The Amended MCC Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit our ability to actively solicit, discuss or negotiate competing third-party proposals for strategic transactions. Although these provisions, which are customary for transactions of this type, allows us to engage in negotiations regarding, and to ultimately accept, a “Superior Proposal” (as such term is defined in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement), in certain circumstances, subject to the payment of a termination fee, such provisions might discourage a potential competing acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of us from considering or proposing a “Superior Proposal” to us, or might result in a potential competing acquiror proposing to pay a lower price to acquire us than it might otherwise have proposed to pay.

The Amended MDLY Merger Agreement limits each of our ability to actively pursue alternatives to the MDLY Merger and to accept a superior proposal.

The Amended MDLY Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit our ability to actively solicit, discuss or negotiate competing third-party proposals for strategic transactions. Although these provisions, which are customary for transactions of this type, allow us to engage in negotiations regarding, and to ultimately accept, a “Superior Proposal” (as such term is defined in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement) in certain circumstances, subject to the payment of a termination fee, such provisions might discourage a potential competing acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of us from considering or proposing a “Superior Proposal” to us, or might result in a potential competing acquiror proposing to pay a lower price to acquire us than it might otherwise have proposed to pay.

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

In June 2013, we commenced a share repurchase program pursuant to which we conducted quarterly share repurchases, of up to 2.5% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares in any 3-month period or 10% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares in any 12-month period. The purpose of the share repurchase program was to allow stockholders to sell their shares back to us at a price equal to the most recently disclosed NAV per share of our common stock immediately prior to the date of repurchase. Shares were purchased from stockholders participating in the program on a pro rata basis. Unless our board of directors determined otherwise, the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year were limited to the proceeds received in association with the sale of shares of common stock under the distribution reinvestment plan. Notwithstanding the suspension of the share repurchase program and, in connection with the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, our board of directors approved the repurchase of shares of our common stock from our stockholder who have requested repurchases in connection with such stockholder’s death or disability. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for more information.
