| Certain Risk Factors 11 Nature of Debt Securities . Debt and structured equity investments in highly leveraged companies involve a high degree of risk with no certainty of any return of capital . The debt securities in which Crescent Funds and strategies (“Crescent Funds”) and ABDC invest may be unsecured and subordinated to substantial amounts of senior debt, all or a portion which may be secured, may not be protected by financial covenants or limitations on additional debt, may have limited liquidity and may not be rated by a credit rating agency . Financial Markets . Instability in the securities markets may increase the risk inherent in Crescent Funds’ or any Combined Company’s investments in that the ability of portfolio companies to refinance or redeem debt and structured equity securities held by Crescent Funds and any Combined Company may depend on their ability to sell new securities in the market . Conflicts of Interest . Crescent and its affiliates manage multiple funds and accounts . Key personnel will devote some business time to managing those other funds and accounts . Obligations to certain funds and accounts could in certain circumstances adversely affect the price paid or received for investments by Crescent Funds and any Combined Company or the size or the portion of investments purchased by other Crescent Funds . Interest Rate Fluctuations . Interest rate fluctuations may negatively impact Crescent Funds’ investment opportunities and the rate of return on invested capital . An increase in interest rates would make it more expensive for portfolio companies to finance operations and indirectly affect the credit quality of Crescent Funds’ and any Combined Company’s investments . Lack of Diversification and Reliance on Portfolio Company Management . Crescent Funds and any Combined Company may invest in a limited number of investments and may be concentrated in only a few industries . Therefore, the aggregate return of Crescent Funds and any Combined Company may be adversely affected by the negative performance of a relatively few investments . The manager monitors portfolio company performance ; however, it is primarily the responsibility of portfolio company management to operate a portfolio company on a day to day basis and there is no assurance that such management will perform in accordance with Crescent Funds’ or ABDC’s expectations . Trading Market Risk . If the acquisition of ABDC is consummated, CCAP’s shares of common stock will be listed on a national securities exchange . After such listing, CCAP’s shares of common stock may trade at a discount from net asset value, which could limit CCAP’s ability to raise additional equity capital . CCAP cannot assure you that a trading market will develop for CCAP’s common stock after the acquisition of ABDC or, if one develops, that such trading market can be sustained . In addition, CCAP cannot predict the prices at which its common stock will trade, whether at, above or below NAV . Shares of closed - end investment companies, including BDCs, frequently trade at a discount from NAV, and CCAP’s common stock may also be discounted in the market . This characteristic of closed - end investment companies is separate and distinct from the risk that CCAP’s NAV per share may decline . In addition, if CCAP’s common stock trades below its NAV, CCAP will generally not be able to sell additional shares of its common stock to the public at its market price without, among other things, the requisite stockholders approve such a sale . Competitive Debt Environment . Crescent Funds compete with the public debt and equity markets and with other investors for suitable investment opportunities . There can be no assurance that Crescent Funds or the CCAP/ABDC combined company (the “Combined Company”) will be able to locate and complete investments, fully invest its committed capital or satisfy its rate of return objectives . Foreign Investments . Investments in non - U . S . companies involve risks not typically associated with the more developed U . S . capital markets, including risks relating to currency exchange, differences between the U . S . and foreign securities markets, differences in corporate and creditors’ rights laws and economic, and political risks . Dependence Upon Key Personnel . Decisions with respect to the investments and management of Crescent Funds and any Combined Company will be made exclusively by the Crescent management team . Investors generally have no right to take part in the management of Crescent Funds (and will not with respect to any Combined Company) and do not have an opportunity to evaluate the specific investments made by mezzanine funds or their terms . The success of Crescent Funds and any Combined Company depends or will depend significantly upon the skill and expertise of the principal members of the Crescent management team . The departure of any of those principal members could have a material adverse effect on mezzanine funds . No Assurance of Investment Return . There can be no assurance that Crescent Funds and any Combined Company will be able to generate returns for its investors or that the returns will be commensurate with the risks of investing in the type of companies and transactions described herein . Accordingly, an investment in Crescent Funds or any Combined Company should only be considered by persons who can afford a loss of their entire investment . Past activities or investment return results of investment entities associated with the Crescent or ABDC management team or their respective principal members, including their prior funds, provide no assurance of future success or return results . The fees and expenses charged in connection with an investment in Crescent Funds and any Combined Company may be higher than the fees and expenses of other investment alternatives and may offset profits . Use of Leverage . Certain Crescent Funds and any Combined Company may leverage the cost of its investments . To the extent Crescent Funds or any Combined Company purchases securities with borrowed funds, its net assets will tend to increase or decrease at a greater rate than if borrowed funds are not used . If the interest expense on borrowings were to exceed the net return on the portfolio of securities purchased with borrowed funds, Crescent Funds’ and any Combined Company’s use of leverage would result in a lower rate of return than if Crescent Funds were not leveraged . Overall, the use of leverage, while providing the opportunity for higher returns, also increases volatility and the risk of loss . No Regulatory Approval . Neither the Crescent Funds nor ABDC has been approved or disapproved by any securities regulatory authority of any state, by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any similar authority in another jurisdiction . Potential Acquisition of ABDC . There are a number of risks in connection with the acquisition of ABDC and other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (the "Proposed Transaction") . The Proposed Transaction may not be completed in the time frame expected by CCAP and ABDC, or at all . The Proposed Transaction may result in unexpected costs, charges or expenses, including as a result of delay in completing the Proposed Transaction . The financial performance of any Combined Company following the Proposed Transaction is uncertain, and the Combined Company may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transaction . Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any Combined Company following the Proposed Transaction will be able to implement its business strategy . Lastly, there is a risk of stockholder litigation in connection with the Proposed Transaction that may affect the timing or occurrence of the Proposed Transaction, which may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability .
