FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) (including those relating to current and future market conditions and trends in respect thereof) that are not historical facts are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, opinions and/or beliefs of the Company, BCSF Advisors, LP (the “Advisor”) and/or Bain Capital Credit, LP and its affiliated advisers (collectively, “Bain Capital Credit”). Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. Certain information contained in this Quarterly Report constitutes “forward-looking statements,” which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “target,” or “believe” or the negatives thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Due to various risks and uncertainties, actual events or results or the actual performance of the Company may differ materially from those reflected or contemplated in such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements including, without limitation, the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in the section entitled Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, some of those assumptions may be based on the work of third parties and any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate; as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could prove to be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in the section entitled Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or any other information contained herein, except as required by applicable law. The safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which preclude civil liability for certain forward-looking statements, do not apply to the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report because we are an investment company.

BAIN CAPITAL SPECIALTY FINANCE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Bain Capital Specialty Finance, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on October 5, 2015 and commenced investment operations on October 13, 2016. The Company has elected to be treated and is regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for tax purposes the Company has elected to be treated, and intends to operate in a manner so as to continuously qualify, as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing concurrently with its election to be treated as a BDC. The Company is externally managed by BCSF Advisors, LP (the “Advisor” or “BCSF Advisors”), our investment adviser that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Advisor also provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate (in such capacity, the “Administrator” or “BCSF Advisors”).

The Company’s primary focus is capitalizing on opportunities within its Advisor’s Senior Direct Lending Strategy, which seeks to provide risk-adjusted returns and current income to its stockholders by investing primarily in middle-market companies with between $10.0 million and $150.0 million in EBITDA. The Company focuses on senior investments with a first or second lien on collateral and strong structures and documentation intended to protect the lender. The Company generally seeks to retain voting control in respect of the loans or particular classes of securities in which the Company invests through maintaining affirmative voting positions or negotiating consent rights that allow the Company to retain a blocking position. The Company may also invest in mezzanine debt and other junior securities and in secondary purchases of assets or portfolios, as described below. Investments are likely to include, among other things, (i) senior first lien, stretch senior, senior second lien, unitranche, (ii) mezzanine debt and other junior investments and (iii) secondary purchases of assets or portfolios that primarily consist of middle-market corporate debt. The Company may also invest, from time to time, in equity securities, distressed debt, debtor-in-possession loans, structured products, structurally subordinate loans, investments with deferred interest features, zero-coupon securities and defaulted securities.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. These consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments that in the opinion of the Company are necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented herein and are not necessarily indicative of the full fiscal year. The Company has determined it meets the definition of an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 — Financial Services — Investment Companies. The functional currency of the Company is U.S. dollars and these consolidated financial statements have been prepared in that currency.

The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Basis of Consolidation

The Company will generally consolidate any wholly, or substantially, owned subsidiary when the design and purpose of the subsidiary is to act as an extension of the Company’s investment operations and to facilitate the execution of the Company’s investment strategy. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of its subsidiaries BCSF I, LLC, which was formed on September 20, 2017, and BCC Middle Market CLO 2018-1, LLC, which was formed on August 3, 2018, in its consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Since the Company is an investment company, portfolio investments held by the Company are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements. The portfolio investments held by the Company (including its investments held by consolidated subsidiaries) are included on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as investments at fair value. The Company does not consolidate its interest in Antares Bain Capital Complete Financing Solution LLC (together with ABC Complete Financing Solution LLC, “ABCS”). See further description of the Company’s investment in ABCS in Note 3.

26

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. Market quotations are obtained from an independent pricing service, where available. If a price cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service or if the independent pricing service is not deemed to be current with the market, certain investments held by the Company will be valued on the basis of prices provided by principal market makers. Generally investments marked in this manner will be marked at the mean of the bid and ask of the independent broker quotes obtained. To validate market quotations, the Company utilizes a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value, subject at all times to the oversight and approval of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), based on, among other things, the input of the Advisor, the Company’s audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee) and one or more independent third party valuation firms engaged by the Board.

With respect to unquoted securities, the Company will value each investment considering, among other measures, discounted cash flow models, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public and other factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Company will use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate and/or assist us in our valuation. 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.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Advisor will undertake a multi-step valuation process, which includes among other things, the below:

·The Company’s quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of the Advisor responsible for the portfolio investment or by an independent valuation firm;

·Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the Company’s senior management and the Advisor. Agreed upon valuation recommendations are presented to the Audit Committee;

·The Audit Committee of the Board reviews the valuations presented and recommends values for each of the investments to the Board;

·At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment constituting a material portion of the Company’s portfolio will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm; and

·The Board will discuss valuations and determine the fair value of each investment in good faith based upon, among other things, the input of the Advisor, independent valuation firms, where applicable, and the Audit Committee.

In following this approach, the types of factors that are taken into account in the fair value pricing of investments include, as relevant, but are not limited to: comparison to publicly traded securities, including factors such as yield, maturity and measures of credit quality; the enterprise value of a portfolio company; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows; and the markets in which the portfolio company does business. In cases where an independent valuation firm provides fair valuations for investments, the independent valuation firm provides a fair valuation report, a description of the methodology used to determine the fair value and their analysis and calculations to support their conclusion. The Company determines the fair value of its investment in ABCS giving consideration to the assets and liabilities of ABCS, at fair value, including consideration of any necessary adjustments. The Company currently conducts this valuation process on a quarterly basis.

The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company determines the fair value of investments consistent with its valuation policy. The Company discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy which prioritizes and ranks the level of market observability used in the determination of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these levels are summarized below:

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

27

·Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

·Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuations of Level 2 investments are generally based on quotations received from pricing services, dealers or brokers. Consideration is given to the source and nature of the quotations and the relationship of recent market activity to the quotations provided.

Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfers occur. The Company evaluates the source of inputs used in the determination of fair value, including any markets in which the investments, or similar investments, are trading. When the fair value of an investment is determined using inputs from a pricing service (or principal market makers), the Company considers various criteria in determining whether the investment should be classified as a Level 2 or Level 3 investment. Criteria considered include the pricing methodologies of the pricing services (or principal market makers) to determine if the inputs to the valuation are observable or unobservable, as well as the number of prices obtained and an assessment of the quality of the prices obtained. The level of an investment within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment.

The value assigned to these investments is based upon available information and may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, it does not necessarily represent the amount that might ultimately be realized upon sale. Due to inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated fair value of investments may differ from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the security existed, and the difference could be material.

Securities Transactions, Revenue Recognition and Expenses

The Company records its investment transactions on a trade date basis. The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, using the specified identification method. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium to par value on investments acquired are accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest income over the life of the respective investment using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized and amortized against or accreted into interest income using the effective interest method or straight-line method, as applicable. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premium, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discount are recorded as interest income.

Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Distributions received from a limited liability company or limited partnership investment are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital.

Certain investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the loan principal of the investment on the respective interest or dividend payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. PIK is recorded as interest or dividend income, as applicable. If at any point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends are generally reversed through interest or dividend income, as applicable.

Certain structuring fees and amendment fees are recorded as other income when earned. Administrative agent fees received by the Company are recorded as other income when the services are rendered.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

28

Non-Accrual Loans

Loans or debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest generally is reversed when a loan or debt security is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans or debt securities may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans and debt securities are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid and, in management’s judgment, principal and interest payments are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this treatment if a loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, no securities had been placed on non-accrual status.

Distributions

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be distributed, if any, is determined by the Board each quarter, and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by the Advisor. Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company may pay distributions to its stockholders in a year in excess of its net ordinary income and capital gains for that year and, accordingly, a portion of such distributions may constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This excess generally would be a tax-free return of capital in the period and generally would reduce the stockholder’s tax basis in its shares. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent; they are charged or credited to paid-in capital in excess of par, accumulated undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gain (loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Temporary and permanent differences are primarily attributable to differences in the tax treatment of certain loans and the tax characterization of income and non-deductible expenses.

The Company intends to timely distribute to its stockholders substantially all of its annual taxable income for each year, except that the Company may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment and, depending upon the level of the Company’s taxable income earned in a year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income for distribution in the following year and incur applicable U.S. federal excise tax.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for the reinvestment of cash dividends. Prior to the listing of the Company’s shares on a national securities exchange (a “Listing”), stockholders who “opt in” to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends and distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends and distributions.

Subsequent to a Listing, stockholders who do not “opt out” of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends and distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends and distributions.

Stockholders can elect to “opt in” or “opt out” of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan in their Subscription Agreements, as defined in Note 9. The elections of stockholders that make an election prior to a Listing shall remain effective after the Listing.

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization costs consist primarily of legal, incorporation and accounting fees incurred in connection with the organization of the Company. Organization costs are expensed as incurred.

Offering costs consist primarily of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offering of shares, including legal, underwriting, printing and other costs, as well as costs associated with the preparation and filing of applicable registration statements. Upon the issuance of shares, offering costs are offset against proceeds of the offering in paid-in capital in excess of par.

Cash, Restricted Cash, and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits held at custodian banks, and highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost or amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company may deposit its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions and, at certain times, such balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. Cash equivalents are presented separately on the consolidated schedules of investments. Restricted cash is collected and held by the trustee who has been appointed as custodian of the assets securing certain of the Company’s financing transactions.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. The fair values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates at the end of each business day. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at current exchange rates when accrued or incurred. Unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency holdings and non-investment assets and liabilities attributable to the changes in foreign currency exchange rates are included in the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translation on the consolidated statements of operations. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency holdings and non-investment assets and liabilities attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the consolidated statements of operations. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included in net realized gain (loss) on investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts

The Company may enter into forward currency exchange contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. A forward currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and as such the Company recognizes the value of its derivatives at fair value on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities with changes in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency exchange contracts recorded on the consolidated statements of operations. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued using the prevailing forward currency exchange rate of the underlying currencies. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency exchange contracts are recorded on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities by counterparty on a net basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable. Cash collateral maintained in accounts held by counterparties is included in collateral on forward currency exchange contracts on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Notional amounts and the gross fair value of forward currency exchange contracts assets and liabilities are presented separately on the consolidated schedules of investments.

Changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are recorded on the consolidated statements of operations in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency exchange contracts. Net realized gains and losses are recorded on the consolidated statements of operations in net realized gain (loss) on forward currency exchange contracts. Realized gains and losses on forward currency exchange contracts are determined using the difference between the fair market value of the forward currency exchange contract at the time it was opened and the fair market value at the time it was closed or covered. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms.

Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Issuance Costs

The Company records costs related to issuance of revolving debt obligations as deferred financing costs. These costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the stated maturity life of the obligation.  The Company records costs related to the issuance of term debt obligations as debt issuance costs.  These costs are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method.  These costs are presented as a reduction to the outstanding principal amount of the term debt obligations on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it will generally not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income or excise taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually as dividends to its stockholders. As a result, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company represents obligations of the Company’s stockholders and will not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code pertaining to RICs and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is required in the consolidated financial statements. For income tax purposes, distributions made to stockholders are reported as ordinary income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital, or a combination thereof. The tax character of distributions paid to stockholders through September 30, 2018 may include return of capital, however, the exact amount cannot be determined at this point. The final determination of the tax character of distributions will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ending December 31, 2018. The character of income and gains that we will distribute is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. BCSF I, LLC and BCC Middle Market CLO 2018-1, LLC are disregarded entities for tax purposes and are consolidated with the tax return of the Company.

30

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reversed and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes, if any, are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions on returns to be filed by the Company for all open tax years should be recorded. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdiction as the United States, and the Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. As of September 30, 2018, the tax years that remain subject to examination are from the year 2016 forward.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium by requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, as well as for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe these changes will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 is part of the disclosure framework project and eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, requires entities to disclose new information, and modifies existing disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this change will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Antares Bain Capital Complete Financing Solution

The Company has entered into a limited liability company agreement with Antares Midco Inc. (“Antares”) to invest in ABC Complete Financing Solution LLC, which makes investments through its subsidiary, Antares Bain Capital Complete Financing Solution LLC (together with ABC Complete Financing Solution LLC, “ABCS”). ABCS, an unconsolidated Delaware limited liability company, was formed on September 27, 2017 and commenced operations on November 29, 2017. ABCS’ principal purpose is to make investments, primarily in senior secured unitranche loans. The Company records its investment in ABCS at fair value. Distributions of income received from ABCS, if any, are recorded as dividend income from controlled investments in the consolidated

33

statements of operations. Distributions received from ABCS in excess of income earned at ABCS, if any, are recorded as a return of capital and reduce the amortized cost of controlled affiliate investments.

The Company and Antares, as members of ABCS, have agreed to contribute capital up to (subject to the terms of their agreement) $950.0 million in aggregate to purchase equity interests in ABCS, with each member contributing up to $425.0 million and $525.0 million, respectively. Funding of such commitments generally requires the consent of both Antares Credit Opportunities Manager LLC and the Advisor on behalf of Antares and the Company, respectively. ABCS is capitalized with capital contributions from its members on a pro-rata basis based on their maximum capital contributions as transactions are funded after they have been approved.

Investment decisions of ABCS require the consent of both the Advisor and Antares Credit Opportunities Manager LLC, as representatives of the Company and Antares, respectively. Each of the Advisor and Antares source investments for ABCS.

Significant Unobservable Inputs

ASC 820 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Disclosure of this information is not required in circumstances where a valuation (unadjusted) is obtained from a third-party pricing service and the information regarding the unobservable inputs is not reasonably available to the Company and as such, the disclosures provided below exclude those investments valued in that manner.

(1)Included within the Level 3 assets of $882,198,068 is an amount of $225,227,012 for which the Advisor did not develop the unobservable inputs for the determination of fair value (examples include single source quotation and prior or pending transactions).

(2)Weighted average is calculated by weighing the significant unobservable input by the relative fair value of each investment in the category.

(3)Represents equity investment in ABCS. The Company determines the fair value of its investment in ABCS giving consideration to the assets and liabilities of ABCS, at fair value, including consideration of any necessary adjustments.  The fair value of the loans held by ABCS have been determined based upon recent transactions or the use of discounted cash flows, with comparative yields ranging from 7.9% to 11.2% and a weighted average of 9.2%. The carrying value of the ABCS Facility approximates fair value.

The Company used the income approach and market approach to determine the fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of September 30, 2018. The significant unobservable input used in the income approach is the comparative yield. The comparative yield is used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment. An increase/decrease in the comparative yield would result in a decrease/increase, respectively, in the fair value. The significant unobservable input used in the market approach is the comparable company multiple. The multiple is used to estimate the enterprise value of the underlying investment. An increase/decrease in the multiple would result in an increase/decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements of assets as of December 31, 2017 were as follows:

	As of December 31, 2017

is used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment. An increase/decrease in the comparative yield would result in a decrease/increase, respectively, in the fair value. The significant unobservable input used in the market approach is the comparable company multiple. The multiple is used to estimate the enterprise value of the underlying investment. An increase/decrease in the multiple would result in an increase/decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

The fair values of the Revolving Credit Facility,  BCSF Revolving Credit Facility and the 2018-1 Notes (as defined in Note 6), which are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, approximate the carrying value of such facilities.

Investment Advisory Agreement

The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement as of October 6, 2016, (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Advisor, pursuant to which the Advisor manages the Company’s investment program and related activities.

Base Management Fee

The Company pays the Advisor a base management fee (the “Base Management Fee”), accrued and payable quarterly in arrears. The Base Management Fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% (0.375% per quarter) of the average value of the Company’s gross assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents, but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts) at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters (and, in the case of our first quarter, our gross assets as of such quarter-end). Such amount shall be appropriately adjusted (based on the actual number of days elapsed relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter) for any share issuance or repurchases by the Company during a calendar quarter. The Base Management Fee for any partial quarter will be appropriately prorated.

The Advisor, however, has contractually waived its right to receive the Base Management Fee in excess of 0.75% of the aggregate gross assets excluding cash (including capital drawn to pay the Company’s expenses) during any period prior to a Qualified IPO. A “Qualified IPO” is an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock that results in an unaffiliated public float of at least the lower of (A) $75 million and (B) 15% of the aggregate capital commitments received prior to the date of such initial public offering. If a Qualified IPO does not occur, such fee waiver will remain in place through liquidation of the Company. The Advisor will not be permitted to recoup any waived amounts at any time and the waiver agreement may only be modified or terminated prior to a Qualified IPO with the approval of the Board.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $2.3 million and $1.2 million remained payable, respectively.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Base Management Fee incurred by the Company and included on the statements of operations:

	Annualized Rate		For the three months ended September 30, 2018		For the three months ended September 30, 2017		For the nine months ended September 30, 2018		For the nine months ended September 30, 2017

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee consists of two parts that are determined independently of each other such that one component may be payable even if the other is not.

The first part, the income incentive fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals:

(a)100% of the excess of our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, over a preferred return of 1.5% per quarter (6% annualized) (the “Hurdle”), until the Advisor has received a “catch-up” equal to:

(i)15% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the current quarter prior to a Qualified IPO, or

(ii)17.5% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the current quarter after a Qualified IPO; and

(b)(i)15% of all remaining pre-incentive fee net investment income above the “catch-up” prior to a Qualified IPO, or

(ii)17.5% of all remaining pre-incentive fee net investment income above the “catch-up” after a Qualified IPO.

42

The second part, the capital gains incentive fee, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon a Qualified IPO or termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement), and equals:

(a)prior to a Qualified IPO, 15% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of the fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees (the “Cumulative Capital Gains”), or

(b)after a Qualified IPO, 17.5% of the Cumulative Capital Gains.

Incentive Fee on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income

Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, original issue discount (“OID”), debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero-coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized or unrealized capital gains or losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that the Company may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where the Company incurs a loss. For example, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the Hurdle rate for a quarter, the Company will pay the applicable incentive fee even if the Company has incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and unrealized capital losses.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income will be compared to a “Hurdle Amount” equal to the product of (i) the “hurdle rate” of 1.5% per quarter (6% annualized) and (ii) the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. If market interest rates rise, the Company may be able to invest our funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which would increase our pre-incentive fee net investment income and make it easier for the Advisor to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an incentive fee based on such net investment income. Our pre-incentive fee net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of our total assets (other than cash but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts) used to calculate the Base Management Fee.

Prior to the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, the Company will pay the income incentive fee in each calendar quarter as follows:

·no income incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the Hurdle Amount;

·100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Amount but is less than or equal to an amount (the “Pre-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount”) determined on a quarterly basis by multiplying 1.7647% by the Company’s net asset value at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter. The Pre-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount is intended to provide the Advisor with an incentive fee of 15% on all of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income when the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income reaches the Pre-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount in any calendar quarter; and

·for any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds the Pre-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount, the income incentive fee shall equal 15% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the calendar quarter.

On and after the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, the Company will pay the income incentive fee in each calendar quarter as follows:

·no income incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the Hurdle Amount;

·100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Amount but is less than or equal to an amount (the “Post-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount”) determined on a quarterly basis by multiplying 1.8182% by the Company’s net asset value at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter. The Post-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount is intended to provide the Advisor

43

with an incentive fee of 17.5% on all of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income when the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income reaches the Post-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount in any calendar quarter; and

·for any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds the Post-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount, the income incentive fee shall equal 17.5% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the calendar quarter.

These calculations will be appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases by the Company during the current quarter. The Company does not currently intend to institute a share repurchase program and share repurchases will be effected only in extremely limited circumstances in accordance with applicable law. If the Qualified IPO occurs on a date other than the first day of a calendar quarter, the income incentive fee shall be calculated for such calendar quarter at a weighted rate calculated based on the fee rates applicable before and after a Qualified IPO based on the number of days in such calendar quarter before and after a Qualified IPO.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred $2.5 million of income incentive fees (before waivers), which are included in incentive fees on the consolidated statements of operations.  The Advisor decided to voluntarily waive 25%, or $0.6 million, of the income incentive fees earned by the Advisor during the three months ended September 30, 2018.  Such income incentive fee waiver is irrevocable and such waived income incentive fees will not be subject to recoupment in future periods.  This income incentive fee waiver does not impact any income incentive fees earned by the Advisor in future periods.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred $6.1 million of income incentive fees (before waivers), which are included in incentive fees on the consolidated statements of operations.  The Advisor has voluntarily waived $1.6 million of the income incentive fees earned by the Advisor during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  Such income incentive fee waiver is irrevocable and such waived income incentive fees will not be subject to recoupment in future periods.  This income incentive fee waiver does not impact any income incentive fees earned by the Advisor in future periods.

As a result of the income incentive fee waivers, the Company incurred $1.9 million and $4.5 million of income incentive fees (after waivers) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.  The Company did not incur any income incentive fees for the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there was $1.9 million and $0.0 million, respectively, related to the income incentive fee accrued in incentive fee payable on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

On October 11, 2018, the Board approved, subject to completion of the Proposed Initial Public Offering, as defined in Note 13, an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement. Beginning with the calendar quarter that commences January 1, 2019, this Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement incorporates (i) a three-year lookback provision and (ii) a cap on quarterly income incentive fee payments based on net realized or unrealized capital loss, if any, during the applicable three-year lookback period. See Note 13 “Subsequent Events”.

Annual Incentive Fee Based on Capital Gains

The second part of the incentive fee is a capital gains incentive fee that will be determined and payable in arrears in cash as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals (i) 15% of our realized capital gains as of the end of the fiscal year prior to a Qualified IPO, and (ii) 17.5% of our realized capital gains as of the end of the fiscal year after a Qualified IPO. In determining the capital gains incentive fee payable to the Advisor, the Company calculates the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains and cumulative aggregate realized capital losses since our inception, and the aggregate unrealized capital depreciation as of the date of the calculation, as applicable, with respect to each of the investments in our portfolio. For this purpose, cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equals the sum of the differences between the net sales price of each investment, when sold, and the cost of such investment. Cumulative aggregate realized capital losses equals the sum of the amounts by which the net sales price of each investment, when sold, is less than the cost of such investment. Aggregate unrealized capital depreciation equals the sum of the difference, if negative, between the valuation of each investment as of the applicable calculation date and the cost of such investment. At the end of the applicable year, the amount of capital gains that serves as the basis for our calculation of the capital gains incentive fee equals the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains less cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, less aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, with respect to our portfolio of investments. If this number is positive at the end of such year, then the capital gains incentive fee for such year will equal 15% before a Qualified IPO or 17.5% after a Qualified IPO, as applicable, of such amount, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains incentive fees paid in respect of our portfolio in all prior years.

If a Qualified IPO occurs on a date other than the first day of a fiscal year, a capital gains incentive fee shall be calculated as of the day before the Qualified IPO, with such capital gains incentive fee paid to the Advisor following the end of the fiscal year in which the Qualified IPO occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, such capital gains incentive fee shall be equal to 15% of the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception through the day before the Qualified IPO, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. Following a Qualified IPO, solely for the purposes of calculating the capital gains incentive fee, the Company will be deemed to have previously paid capital gains incentive fees prior to a Qualified IPO equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the actual aggregate amount of previously paid capital gains incentive fees for all periods prior to a Qualified IPO by (b) the percentage obtained by dividing (x) 17.5% by (y) 15%. In the event that the Investment Advisory Agreement shall terminate as

44

of a date that is not a fiscal year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a fiscal year end for purposes of calculating and paying a capital gains incentive fee.

There was no capital gains incentive fee payable to the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

U.S. GAAP requires that the incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation of investments or other financial instruments in the calculation, as an incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement (“GAAP Incentive Fee”). There can be no assurance that such unrealized appreciation will be realized in the future. Accordingly, such fee, as calculated and accrued, would not necessarily be payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of incentive fees in subsequent period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, there was an addition of $0.7 million in incentive fees related to the GAAP Incentive Fee, which is included in incentive fees on the consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred $0.2 million of incentive fees related to the GAAP Incentive Fee, which is included in incentive fees on the consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there was an addition of $0.1 million in incentive fees related to the GAAP Incentive Fee which is included in incentive fees on the consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred $0.4 million of incentive fees related to the GAAP Incentive Fee, which is included in incentive fees on the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there was $1.0 million and $1.0 million related to the GAAP Incentive Fee accrued in incentive fee payable on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Administration Agreement

The Company has entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator, pursuant to which the Administrator provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate, and the Company will utilize the Administrator’s office facilities, equipment and recordkeeping services. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator has agreed to oversee our public reporting requirements and tax reporting and monitor our expenses and the performance of professional services rendered to us by others. To the extent that expenses to be borne by the Company are paid by the Administrator, the Company will generally reimburse the Administrator for such expenses. The Administrator has also hired a sub-administrator to assist in the provision of administrative services. The Company may reimburse the Administrator for its costs and expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including compensation paid to or compensatory distributions received by our officers (including our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer) and any of their respective staff who provide services to the Company, operations staff who provide services to us, and internal audit staff, if any, to the extent internal audit performs a role in our Sarbanes-Oxley internal control assessment. Our allocable portion of overhead will be determined by the Administrator, which expects to use various methodologies such as allocation based on the percentage of time certain individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the business and affairs of the Company, and will be subject to oversight by the Board. The sub-administrator is paid its compensation for performing its sub-administrative services under the sub-administration agreement. The Company incurred expenses related to the sub-administrator of $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is included in professional fees on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company incurred expenses related to the sub-administrator of $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is included in professional fees on the consolidated statement of operations. The Administrator will not be reimbursed to the extent that any such reimbursements would cause any distributions to our stockholders to constitute a return of capital. In addition, the Administrator is permitted to delegate its duties under the Administration Agreement to affiliates or third parties and the Company will reimburse the expenses of these parties incurred and paid by the Advisor on our behalf.

Co-investments

We may invest alongside our affiliates, subject to compliance with applicable regulations and our allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments may be made only in accordance with the terms of the exemptive order we received from the SEC initially on August 23, 2016, as amended on March 23, 2018 (the “Order”). Under the terms of the Order, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors must be able to reach certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching of our or its stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our Board’s approved criteria. In certain situations where co-investment with one or more funds managed by the Advisor or its affiliates is not covered by the Order, the personnel of the Advisor or its affiliates will need to decide which fund will proceed with the investment. Such personnel will make these

45

determinations based on policies and procedures, which are designed to reasonably ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among affiliated funds over time and in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

In accordance with applicable SEC staff guidance and interpretations, as a BDC, with certain exceptions, the Company is currently allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing, unless the Company meets certain disclosure and approval requirements in which case the Company may reduce its asset coverage ratio to 150%. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s asset coverage ratio based on aggregated borrowings outstanding was 247% and 212%, respectively.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On December 22, 2016, we entered into the revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Credit Agreement”). The maximum commitment amount under the revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) was $150.0 million, and may be increased up to $350.0 million (“Maximum Commitment”) with the consent of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”) or reduced upon request of the Company. Effective July 31, 2018, we reduced the commitment amount under the Revolving Credit Facility to $85.0 million. Proceeds under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for any purpose permitted under our organizational documents, including general corporate purposes such as the making of investments. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including, but not limited to, maintaining an asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings of at least 200%. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with these covenants. The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by the capital commitments and capital contributions to the Company.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Revolving Credit Facility was accruing interest expense at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.40%. We pay an unused commitment fee of: (a) where the Maximum Commitment which is unused on such date is greater than fifty (50) percent of the Maximum Commitment, a rate of 20 basis points (0.20%) per annum; or (b) where the Maximum Commitment which is unused on such date is less than or equal to fifty (50) percent of the Maximum Commitment, a rate of 15 basis points (0.15%) per annum. Interest is payable in arrears either on a one month, two month, three month or six month LIBOR period. Any amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility, and all accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and payable, on the earliest of: (a) December 22, 2019; (b) the date upon which SMBC declares the obligations, or the obligations become, due and payable after the occurrence of an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility; (c) the date upon which we terminate the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility; and (d) 45 days prior to the earlier of (1) the date upon which the commitment period under the Subscription Agreements, as defined in Note 9, terminates and (2) the date upon which the ability to make capital calls and receive capital contributions otherwise terminates.

As of September 30, 2018, we have $83.6 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and we were in compliance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2017, we had $150.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and we were in compliance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. We intend to continue to utilize the Revolving Credit Facility on a revolving basis to fund investments and for other general corporate purposes.

Costs of $1.1 million were incurred in connection with obtaining the Revolving Credit Agreement which have been recorded as deferred financing costs on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and are being amortized over the life of the Revolving Credit Facility using the straight-line method.  The balance of the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Revolving Credit Agreement were $0.4 million and $0.7 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the components of interest expense related to the Revolving Credit Facility were as follows:

BCSF Revolving Credit Facility

On October 4, 2017, we entered into the revolving credit agreement (the “BCSF Revolving Credit Facility”) with the Company as equity holder, BCSF I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary of the Company, as borrower, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as sole lead arranger (“Goldman Sachs”). The BCSF Revolving Credit Facility was subsequently amended on May 15, 2018 to reflect certain clarifications regarding margin requirements and hedging currencies. The maximum commitment amount under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility is $500.0 million, and may be increased up to $750.0 million. Proceeds of the loans under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility may be used to acquire certain qualifying loans and such other uses as permitted under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility. The BCSF Revolving Credit Facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, as well as usual and customary events of default for revolving credit facilities of this nature. As of September 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Borrowings under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility was accruing interest expense at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%. We pay an unused commitment fee of 30 basis points (0.30%) per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears.

2018-1 Notes

On September 28, 2018, (the “2018-1 Closing Date”), the Company, through BCC Middle Market CLO 2018-1 LLC (the “2018-1 Issuer”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary of the Company, completed its $451.2 million term debt securitization (the “CLO Transaction”). The notes issued in connection with the CLO Transaction (the “2018-1 Notes”) are secured by a diversified portfolio of the Issuer consisting primarily of middle market loans and participation interests in middle market loans, the majority of which are senior secured loans (the “2018-1 Portfolio”). At the 2018-1 Closing Date, the 2018-1 Portfolio was comprised of assets transferred from the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All transfers were eliminated in consolidation and there were no realized gains or losses recognized in the CLO Transaction.

The CLO Transaction was executed through a private placement of the following 2018-1 Notes:

2018-1 Notes	Principal Amount		Spread above Index	Interest rate at September 30, 2018
Class A-1 A	$	205,900,000	1.55% + 3 Month LIBOR	3.7624	%
Class A-1 B		45,000,000	1.50% + 3 Month LIBOR (first 24 months) 1.80% + 3 Month LIBOR (thereafter)	3.7124	%
Class A-2		55,100,000	2.15% + 3 Month LIBOR	4.3624	%
Class B		29,300,000	3.00% + 3 Month LIBOR	5.2124	%
Class C		30,400,000	4.00% + 3 Month LIBOR	6.2124	%
Total 2018-1 Notes		365,700,000
Membership Interests		85,450,000	Non-interest bearing	Not applicable
Total	$	451,150,000

The Class A-1 A, A-1 B, A-2, B and C 2018-1 Notes were issued at par and are scheduled to mature on October 20, 2030.  The Company received 100% of the membership interests (the “Membership Interests”) in the 2018-1 Issuer in exchange for its sale to the 2018-1 Issuer of the initial closing date loan portfolio.  The Membership Interests do not bear interest.

The Class A-1 A, A-1 B, A-2, B and C 2018-1 Notes are included in the consolidated financial statements.  The Membership Interests are eliminated in consolidation.

On the 2018-1 Closing Date, the Company used $311.0 million of the net proceeds to prepay a portion of the BCSF Revolving Facility and Issuer transferred to the Company a portion of the net cash proceeds received from the sale of the 2018-1 Notes.

The Company serves as portfolio manager of the 2018-1 Issuer pursuant to a portfolio management agreement between the Company and the 2018-1 Issuer.  For so long as the Company serves as portfolio manager, the Company will not charge any management fee or subordinated interest to which it may be entitled.

During the reinvestment period (four years from the closing date of the CLO Transaction), pursuant to the indenture governing the 2018-1 Notes, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by the 2018-1 Issuer to purchase new collateral under the direction of the Company in its capacity as portfolio manager of the 2018-1 Issuer and in accordance with the 2018-1 Issuer’s investment strategy and the terms of the indenture.

The Company has agreed to hold on an ongoing basis the Membership Interests with an aggregate dollar purchase price at least equal to 5% of the aggregate amount of all obligations issued by the 2018-1 Issuer for so long as the 2018-1 Notes remain outstanding.

The 2018-1 Issuer pays ongoing administrative expenses to the trustee, independent accountants, legal counsel, rating agencies and independent managers in connection with developing and maintaining reports, and providing required services in connection with the administration of the 2018-1 Issuer.

As of September 30, 2018, there were 69 first lien and second lien senior secured loans with a total fair value of approximately $423.8 million and cash of $37.7 million securing the 2018-1 Notes. Such assets are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The creditors of the 2018-1 Issuer have received security interests in such assets and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of the Company (or an affiliate of the Company). The 2018-1 Portfolio must meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, term, agency rating, collateral coverage, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements in the indenture governing the 2018-1 Notes.  As of September 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with its covenants related to the 2018-1 Notes.

Costs of $2.1 million were incurred in connection with debt securitization of the 2018-1 Notes by the 2018-1 Issuer which have been recorded as debt issuance costs and presented as a reduction to the outstanding principal amount of the 2018-1 Notes on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and are being amortized over the life of the 2018-1 Issuer using the effective interest method. The balance of the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the 2018-1 Issuer was $2.1 million as of September 30, 2018. The 2018-1 Issuer was not in existence as of December 31, 2017 and the 2018-1 Notes were not outstanding.

Note 7. Derivatives

The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by the Company may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency.

The Company may enter into forward currency exchange contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies, as described in Note 2. The fair value of derivative contracts open as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is included on the consolidated schedule of investments by contract. The Company posted collateral of $0.8 million and $4.4 million with the counterparties on foreign currency exchange contracts at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Collateral amounts posted are included in collateral on forward currency exchange contracts on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company’s average U.S. dollar notional exposure to forward currency exchange contracts was $124.3 million and $97.1 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s average U.S. dollar notional exposure to forward currency exchange contracts was $44.3 million and $25.6 million, respectively.

By using derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to the counterparty’s credit risk—the risk that derivative counterparties may not perform in accordance with the contractual provisions offset by the value of any collateral received. The Company’s exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance is limited to collateral posted and the unrealized gains inherent in such transactions that are recognized in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk through credit monitoring procedures, executing master netting arrangements and managing margin and collateral requirements, as appropriate.

The Company presents forward currency exchange contracts on a net basis by counterparty on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company has elected not to offset assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities that may be received or paid as part of collateral arrangements, even when an enforceable master netting arrangement or other arrangement is in place that provides the Company, in the event of counterparty default, the right to liquidate collateral and the right to offset a counterparty’s rights and obligations.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into certain contracts that provide a variety of indemnities. The Company’s maximum exposure under these indemnities is unknown as it would involve future claims that may be made against the Company. Currently, the Company is not aware of any such claims and no such claims are expected to occur. As such, the Company does not consider it necessary to record a liability in this regard.

Note 11. Earnings Per Share

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders 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. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no dilutive shares.

The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase in net assets per share from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
Basic and diluted	2018		2017		2018		2017
Net increase in net assets from operations	$	18,990,852	$	7,201,939	$	36,517,070	$	12,384,779
Weighted average common shares outstanding	41,733,013		24,921,589		35,461,497		17,725,983
Earnings per common share-basic and diluted	$	0.46	$	0.29	$	1.03	$	0.70

(1)	The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.
(2)	Net change in unrealized appreciation on investments per share may not be consistent with the consolidated statements of operations due to the timing of shareholder transactions.
(3)	The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions declared during the period.
(4)	Total return based on net asset value is calculated as the change in net asset value per share during the period, assuming dividends and distributions, if any, are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total return has not been annualized.

56

(5)	The computation of average net assets during the period is based on averaging net assets for the period reported.
(6)	Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of year-to-date sales or year-to-date purchases over the average of the invested assets at fair value for the period reported.
(7)	Net realized loss includes net realized gain (loss) on investments, net realized gain (loss) on forward currency exchange contracts and net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
(8)	Net change in unrealized appreciation includes net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency exchange contracts and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translation.
(9)	The sum of quarterly per share amounts may not equal earnings per share. This is due to changes in the number of weighted average shares outstanding and the effects of rounding.
(10)	Net increase in net assets resulting from operations per share in these financial highlights may be different from the net increase in net assets per share on the consolidated statements of operations due to rounding.
(11)	Ratio is not annualized.
(12)	Ratio is annualized. Incentive fees included within the ratio are not annualized.
(13)	Ratio of voluntary incentive fee waiver to average net assets was 0.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 (Note 5). The ratio of net investment income without the voluntary incentive fee waiver to average net assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 would be 6.73%. The ratio of total expenses without the voluntary incentive fee waiver to average net assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 would be 5.49%. There was no impact for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

On October 5, 2018, the Company filed a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC related to an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock (the “Proposed Initial Public Offering”). The Company intends to use substantially all of the proceeds from the offering, net of expenses, to repay a portion of its outstanding indebtedness. The Company intends to use any remaining proceeds to make investments in accordance with its investment objectives and strategies and for general corporate purposes. The timing of the Proposed Initial Public Offering is uncertain and there is no guarantee it will occur. The SEC has not declared the Registration Statement effective and securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy the securities be accepted, prior to the time this registration statement becomes effective.

On October 11, 2018, the Board approved, subject to completion of the Proposed Initial Public Offering, an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement. Beginning with the calendar quarter that commences January 1, 2019, this Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement incorporates (i) a three-year lookback provision and (ii) a cap on quarterly income incentive fee payments based on net realized or unrealized capital loss, if any, during the applicable three-year lookback period.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2018. The information contained in this section should also be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”).

Overview

Bain Capital Specialty Finance, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us”) is an externally managed specialty finance company focused on lending to middle market companies. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “1940 Act”). We are managed by BCSF Advisors, LP (our “Advisor” or “BCSF Advisors”), a subsidiary of Bain Capital Credit, LP (“Bain Capital Credit”). Our Advisor is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Our Advisor also provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate (in such capacity, our “Administrator” or “BCSF Advisors”). Since we commenced operations on October 13, 2016 through September 30, 2018, we have invested approximately $1,727.9 million in aggregate principal amount of debt and equity investments prior to any subsequent exits or repayments. We seek to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation through direct originations of secured debt, including first lien, first lien/last-out, unitranche and second lien debt, investments in strategic joint ventures, equity investments and, to a lesser extent, corporate bonds.

Our primary focus is capitalizing on opportunities within our Senior Direct Lending strategy, which seeks to provide risk-adjusted returns and current income to our stockholders by investing primarily in middle-market companies with between $10.0 million and $150.0 million in annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). However, we may, from time to time, invest in larger or smaller companies. We generally seek to retain effective voting control in respect of the loans or particular classes of securities in which we invest through maintaining affirmative voting positions or negotiating consent rights that allow us to retain a blocking position. We focus on senior investments with a first or second lien on collateral and strong structures and documentation intended to protect the lender. We may also invest in mezzanine debt and other junior securities, including common and preferred equity, on an opportunistic basis, and in secondary purchases of assets or portfolios but such investments are not the principal focus of our investment strategy. In addition, we may invest, from time to time, in distressed debt, debtor-in-possession loans, structured products, structurally subordinate loans, investments with deferred interest features, zero-coupon securities and defaulted securities.

We generate revenues primarily through receipt of interest income from the investments we hold. In addition, we generate income from various loan origination and other fees, dividends on direct equity investments and capital gains on the sales of investments. The companies in which we invest use our capital for a variety of reasons, including to support organic growth, to fund changes of control, to fund acquisitions, to make capital investments and for refinancing and recapitalizations.

Investments

We expect that our level of investment activity may vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the level of investment and capital expenditures of such companies, the general economic environment, the amount of capital we have available to us and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make.

As a BDC, we may not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, “eligible portfolio companies” include certain companies that do not have any securities listed on a national securities exchange and public companies whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million.

As a BDC, we may also invest up to 30% of our portfolio opportunistically in “non-qualifying” portfolio investments, such as investments in non-U.S. companies.

Market Overview

With respect to returns, while loan spreads have tightened in the past few quarters, yields have remained relatively stable due to upward movement in LIBOR rates. During recent quarters, the Advisor has also noted stable all-in-yields. In addition, as we move later in the credit cycle, the Advisor has observed that sponsors and companies are more frequently utilizing EBITDA add-backs to demonstrate run-rate profitability. In an environment where the Advisor believes corporate profits are nearing cyclical peaks, the

58

Advisor is increasingly skeptical of these add-backs and always incorporates such add-backs into its loan underwriting process. Despite the aforementioned headwinds, the Advisor continues to believe the investment set broadly provides attractive risk/return investment opportunities for the Company although caution is warranted.

Revenues

We primarily generate revenue in the form of interest income on debt investments and, to a lesser extent, capital gains and distributions, if any, on equity securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. The principal amount of the debt investments and any accrued but unpaid interest generally becomes due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts into or against income over the life of the loan. We record contractual prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income.

Our debt investment portfolio consists of primarily floating rate loans. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 95.6% and 98.4%, respectively, of our debt investments, based on fair value, bore interest at floating rates, which may be subject to interest rate floors. Variable-rate investments subject to a floor generally reset periodically to the applicable floor, only if the floor exceeds the index. Trends in base interest rates, such as LIBOR, may affect our net investment income over the long term. In addition, our results may vary from period to period depending on the interest rates of new investments made during the period compared to investments that were sold or repaid during the period; these results reflect the characteristics of the particular portfolio companies that we invested in or exited during the period and not necessarily any trends in our business or macroeconomic trends.

Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of fees to our Advisor under the investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), our allocable portion of overhead expenses under the administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) and other operating costs, including those described below. The Base Management Fee and Incentive Fee compensate our Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. We bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including:

·our initial organization costs incurred prior to the commencement of our operations;

·operating costs incurred prior to the commencement of our operations;

·costs of calculating our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any third-party valuation services);

·fees and expenses payable to third parties relating to evaluating, making and disposing of investments, including our Advisor’s or its affiliates’ travel expenses, research costs and out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence and reviews of prospective investments, monitoring our investments and, if necessary, enforcing our rights;

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

·costs of effecting sales and repurchases of our common stock and other securities;

·the base management fee and any incentive fee;

·distributions on our common stock;

·transfer agent and custody fees and expenses;

·the allocated costs incurred by the Administrator in providing managerial assistance to those portfolio companies that request it;

·other expenses incurred by BCSF Advisors or us in connection with administering our business, including payments made to third-party providers of goods or services;

·brokerage fees and commissions;

·federal and state registration fees;

·any stock exchange listing fees;

·U.S. federal, state and local taxes;

59

·Independent Director fees and expenses;

·costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws;

·costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to our stockholders, including printing costs;

·costs of holding stockholder meetings;

·our fidelity bond;

·directors’ and officers’ errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;

·litigation, indemnification and other non-recurring or extraordinary expenses;

·direct costs and expenses of administration and operation, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone, staff, audit, compliance, tax and legal costs;

·fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;

·dues, fees and charges of any trade association of which we are a member; and

·all other expenses reasonably incurred by us or the Administrator in connection with administering our business.

To the extent that expenses to be borne by us are paid by BCSF Advisors, we will generally reimburse BCSF Advisors for such expenses. To the extent the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Company will pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without profit to the Administrator. We also reimburse the Administrator for its costs and expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and compensation paid to or compensatory distributions received by our officers (including our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer) and any of their respective staff who provide services to us, operations staff who provide services to us, internal audit staff, if any, to the extent internal audit performs a role in our Sarbanes-Oxley internal control assessment and fees paid to third-party providers for goods or services. Our allocable portion of overhead will be determined by the Administrator, which expects to use various methodologies such as allocation based on the percentage of time certain individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to our business and affairs, and will be subject to oversight by our board of directors (our “Board”). The sub-administrator is paid its compensation for performing its sub-administrative services under the sub-administration agreement. We incurred expenses related to the sub-administrator of $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is included in other general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. BCSF Advisors will not be reimbursed to the extent that such reimbursements would cause any distributions to our stockholders to constitute a return of capital. All of the foregoing expenses are ultimately borne by our stockholders.

We may also enter into additional credit facilities or other debt arrangements to partially fund our operations, and could incur costs and expenses including commitment, origination, or structuring fees and the related interest costs associated with any amounts borrowed.

Leverage

We may borrow money from time to time. However, our ability to incur indebtedness (including by issuing preferred stock) is limited by applicable regulations such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, must equal at least 200% (or 150% if certain disclosure and approval requirements are met). Our Advisor plans to seek Board and stockholder approval to reduce our asset coverage ratio to 150% as soon as practical following the completion of the Proposed Initial Public Offering. If such approvals are obtained, our Advisor intends to amend the base management fee to implement a tiered management fee so that the base management fee of 1.5% will continue to apply to assets held at an asset coverage ratio of 200%, but a base management fee of 1.0% would apply to any amount of assets attributable to leverage decreasing our asset coverage ratio below 200%. We do not intend to change our primary focus of capitalizing on opportunities within our Senior Direct Lending strategy, which seeks to provide risk-adjusted returns and current income to our stockholders by investing primarily in middle market companies. In determining whether to borrow money, we will analyze the maturity, covenant package and rate structure of the proposed borrowings as well as the risks of such borrowings compared to our investment outlook.

Loans or debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest generally is reversed when a loan or debt security is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans or debt securities may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans and debt securities are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. We may make exceptions to this treatment if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Our Advisor monitors our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. It monitors the financial trends of each portfolio company to determine if they are meeting their respective business plans and to assess the appropriate course of action for each company. The Advisor has several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include the following:

·assessment of success in adhering to the portfolio company’s business plan and compliance with covenants;

·periodic or regular contact with portfolio company management and, if appropriate, the financial or strategic sponsor to discuss financial position, requirements and accomplishments;

·comparisons to our other portfolio companies in the industry, if any;

·attendance at and participation in board meetings or presentations by portfolio companies; and

·review of monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections of portfolio companies.

64

Our Advisor rates the investments in our portfolio at least quarterly and it is possible that the rating of a portfolio investment may be reduced or increased over time. For investments rated 3 or 4, Advisor enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company. Our internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments.

·An investment is rated 1 if, in the opinion of our Advisor, it is performing above underwriting expectations, and the business trends and risk factors are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or the likelihood of a potential exit.

·An investment is rated 2 if, in the opinion of our Advisor, it is performing as expected at the time of our underwriting and there are generally no concerns about the portfolio company’s performance or ability to meet covenant requirements, interest payments or principal amortization, if applicable. All new investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially given a rating of 2.

·An investment is rated 3 if, in the opinion of our Advisor, the investment is performing below underwriting expectations and there may be concerns about the portfolio company’s performance or trends in the industry, including as a result of factors such as declining performance, non-compliance with debt covenants or delinquency in loan payments (but generally not more than 180 days past due).

·An investment is rated 4 if, in the opinion of our Advisor, the investment is performing materially below underwriting expectations. For debt investments, most of or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Investments rated 4 are not anticipated to be repaid in full, if applicable, and there is significant risk that we may realize a substantial loss on our investment.

Investment Income

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, our investment income was comprised of $26.7 million of interest income and other income, which includes $0.5 million from the accretion of discounts, and $6.1 million of dividend income from the distribution from ABCS. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s investment income was comprised of $7.8 million of interest income, which includes $0.2 million from the accretion of discounts.

The increase in investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from the comparable period in 2017 was primarily driven by the increase in the size of our investment portfolio and increased distribution income from ABCS as a result our increased investment in ABCS and an increase in the size of the underlying ABCS portfolio. As of September 30, 2018, the size of our investment portfolio increased to $1,341.8 million from $475.9 million as of September 30, 2017, at amortized cost, and total principal amount of investments outstanding increased to $1,349.4 million from $486.7 million as of September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2018, the weighted average yield of our first and second lien debt increased to 7.4% from 6.5% as of September 30, 2017, based on par amount, due to the addition of higher yielding assets and an increase in base rates, primarily LIBOR.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our investment income was comprised of $65.5 million of interest income and other income, which includes $1.3 million from the accretion of discounts, and $16.0 million of dividend income from the

Interest and Debt Financing Expenses

Interest and debt financing expenses includes interest, amortization of deferred financing costs, upfront commitment fees and fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”), the revolving credit agreement (the “BCSF Revolving Credit Facility”, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”), with Goldman Sachs Bank USA and the 2018-1 Notes, together with the Revolving Credit Facilities, the “Debt Facilities”. As of September 30, 2018, the Debt Facilities had an outstanding balance of $599.3 million. As of December 31, 2017, the Revolving Credit Facility and the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility had a combined outstanding balance of $451.0 million. Interest and debt financing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were approximately $6.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Interest and debt financing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were approximately $16.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Such increases were driven by increased drawings under the Debt Facilities related to increased deployment of capital for investments.

72

The weighted average interest rate (excluding deferred upfront financing costs and unused fees) on our debt outstanding was 4.23% and 3.40% as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we had $6.7 million in net unrealized appreciation on investments on 157 investments in 113 portfolio companies. Unrealized appreciation increased for the three months ended September 30, 2018 due to net positive valuation adjustments of $5.3 million and a reversal of unrealized depreciation of $2.6 million from one portfolio company due to an exit.  This unrealized appreciation was offset by $1.2 million depreciation due to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency denominated assets.  The depreciation due to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign denominated assets was offset by $1.6 million of net realized and unrealized gains on forward currency exchange contracts and foreign currency transactions.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we had sales and principal repayments of $65.1 million resulting in $3.2 million of net realized losses on investments, primarily due to the under-performance of one portfolio company.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we had $2.9 million in net unrealized appreciation on investments on 76 investments in 56 portfolio companies. Unrealized appreciation for the three months ended September 30, 2017 resulted from an increase in fair value, primarily due to positive valuation adjustments. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we entered into forward currency exchange contracts to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we had $1.2 million in net unrealized depreciation on forward currency exchange contracts, which was offset by an increase in the net unrealized appreciation on our investments due to foreign currency fluctuations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we had sales and principal repayments of $7.4 million resulting in $0.1 million of net realized gains on investments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had $0.6 million in net unrealized depreciation on investments on 157 investments in 113 portfolio companies.   Net unrealized depreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was comprised of $4.1 million of positive valuation adjustments, which were offset by depreciation due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign currency denominated assets of $4.7 million.  The depreciation due to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign denominated assets was offset by $6.0 million of net realized and unrealized gains on forward currency exchange contracts and foreign currency transactions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had sales and principal repayments of $192.6 million resulting in $5.0 million of net realized losses on investments, primarily due to the under-performance of one portfolio company.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we had $5.8 million in net unrealized appreciation on investments on 76 investments in 56 portfolio companies. Unrealized appreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 resulted from an increase in fair value, primarily due to positive valuation adjustments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we entered into forward currency exchange contracts to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $19.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.46 and $0.29, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $36.5 million and $12.4 million, respectively. Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $1.03 and $0.70, respectively.

Cash Flows

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash, foreign cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents increased by $49.6 million. During the same period, we used $447.4 million in operating activities, primarily as a result of purchases of investments, slightly offset by proceeds from principal payments of investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we generated $497.4 million from financing activities, primarily from borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facilities, issuance of 2018-1 Notes and the issuance of common stock, offset by repayments on our Revolving Credit Facilities.

73

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash, foreign cash and cash equivalents decreased by $28.2 million. During the same period, we used $358.4 million in operating activities, primarily as a result of purchases of investments, slightly offset by proceeds from principal payments of investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we generated $329.6 million from financing activities, primarily from issuance of common stock reduced by net repayments on our Revolving Credit Facility.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $190.5 million and $140.9 million in cash, foreign cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents, respectively. The primary uses of our cash are for (1) investments in portfolio companies and other investments and to comply with certain portfolio diversification requirements; (2) the cost of operations (including payments to the Advisor under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements); (3) debt service, repayment, and other financing costs; and, (4) cash distributions to the holders of our common shares.

We expect to generate additional cash from (1) future offerings of our common or preferred shares; (2) borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facilities and from other banks or lenders; and, (3) cash flows from operations.

At September 30, 2018 cash on hand, combined with our uncalled capital commitments of $376.6 million and $351.4 million undrawn amount on our Revolving Credit Facilities, is expected to be sufficient for our investing activities and to conduct our operations for at least the next twelve months.

Capital Share Activity

We have entered into Subscription Agreements with investors providing for the private placement of our common shares. Under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, we require investors to fund drawdowns to purchase our common shares up to the amount of their respective capital commitments on an as-needed basis with a minimum of 10 business days’ prior notice. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had received capital commitments of $1.3 billion, of which $10.8 million was from our Advisor. As of September 30, 2018, we had received capital contributions totaling $879.5 million, of which $7.8 million was from our Advisor. As of December 31, 2017, we had received capital contributions totaling $502.6 million, of which $4.8 million was from our Advisor.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, we delivered capital drawdown notices to our investors relating to the issuance of 6,163,522.89 shares of our common stock at $20.35 per share for an aggregate offering of $125.4 million, 6,160,339.16 shares of our common stock at $20.38 per share for an aggregate offering of $125.5 million and  6,245,548.12 shares of our common stock at $20.17 per share for an aggregate offering of $126.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received additional capital commitments of $950,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received additional capital commitments of $708.7 million, and pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, we delivered capital drawdown notices to our investors relating to the issuance of 5,430,375.07 of shares of our common stock at $20.10 for an aggregate offering of $109.2 million, 5,850,854.57 shares of our common stock at $20.23 per share for an aggregate offering of $118.4 million and 8,131,000.10 shares of our common stock at $20.32 per share for an aggregate offering of $165.2 million. Proceeds from the issuance were used to fund our investing activities and for other general corporate purposes.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we received all amounts relating to the capital drawdown notices. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we issued 276,373.39 shares of our common stock to investors who have opted into our dividend reinvestment plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we issued 28,730.04 shares of our common stock to investors who have opted into our dividend reinvestment plan.

Debt

Debt consisted of the following as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Revolving Credit Agreement

On December 22, 2016, we entered into the revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The maximum commitment amount under the Revolving Credit Facility was $150.0 million, and may be increased up to $350.0 million (“Maximum Commitment”) with the consent of SMBC or reduced upon our request. Effective July 31, 2018, we reduced the commitment amount under the Revolving Credit Facility to $85.0 million. Proceeds under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for any purpose permitted under our organizational documents, including general corporate purposes such as the making of investments. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including maintaining an asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings of at least 200%. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with these covenants. Our obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by the capital commitments and capital contributions.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Revolving Credit Facility was accruing interest expense at a rate of

74

LIBOR plus 1.40%. We pay an unused commitment fee of: (a) where the Maximum Commitment which is unused on such date is greater than fifty (50) percent of the Maximum Commitment, a rate of 20 basis points (0.20%) per annum; or (b) where the Maximum Commitment which is unused on such date is less than or equal to fifty (50) percent of the Maximum Commitment, a rate of 15 basis points (0.15%) per annum. Interest is payable in arrears either on a one month, two month, three month or six month LIBOR period. Any amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility, and all accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and payable, on the earliest of: (a) December 22, 2019; (b) the date upon which SMBC declares the obligations, or the obligations become, due and payable after the occurrence of an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility; (c) the date upon which we terminate the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility; and (d) 45 days prior to the earlier of (1) the date upon which the commitment period under the subscription agreements terminates and (2) the date upon which the ability to make capital calls and receive capital contributions otherwise terminates.

As of September 30, 2018, we had $83.6 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and we were in compliance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2017, we had $150.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and we were in compliance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. We intend to continue to utilize the Revolving Credit Facility on a revolving basis to fund investments and for other general corporate purposes. See “Note 6. Borrowings” for more detail on the Revolving Credit Facility.

Costs of $1.1 million were incurred in connection with obtaining the Revolving Credit Agreement which have been recorded as deferred financing costs on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and are being amortized over the life of the Revolving Credit Facility using the straight-line method.  The balance of the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Revolving Credit Agreement were $0.4 million and $0.7 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

BCSF Revolving Credit Facility

On October 4, 2017, we entered into the revolving credit agreement (the “BCSF Revolving Credit Facility”) with us, as equity holder, BCSF I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary of the Company, as borrower, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as sole lead arranger (“Goldman Sachs”). The BCSF Revolving Credit Facility was subsequently amended on May 15, 2018 to reflect certain clarifications regarding margin requirements and hedging currencies. The maximum commitment amount under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility is $500.0 million, and may be increased up to $750.0 million. Proceeds of the loans under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility may be used to acquire certain qualifying loans and such other uses as permitted under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility. The BCSF Revolving Credit Facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, as well as usual and customary events of default for revolving credit facilities of this nature. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Borrowings under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility was accruing interest expense at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%. We pay an unused commitment fee of 30 basis points (0.30%) per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility, and all accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and payable, on the earliest of: (a) October 5, 2022 and (b) the date upon which all loans shall become due and payable in full, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

75

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were $150.0 million and $301.0 million borrowings under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, and we were in compliance with the terms of the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility. We intend to continue to utilize the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility on a revolving basis to fund investments and for other general corporate purposes. See “Note 6. Borrowings” for more detail on the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility.

Costs of $5.5 million were incurred in connection with obtaining the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility which have been recorded as deferred financing costs on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and are being amortized over the life of the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility using the straight-line method.  The balance of the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility were $4.3 million and $5.1 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the components of interest expense related to the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility were as follows:

2018-1 Notes

On September 28, 2018, (the “2018-1 Closing Date”), we, through BCC Middle Market CLO 2018-1 LLC (the “2018-1 Issuer”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary of us, completed its $451.2 million term debt securitization (the “CLO Transaction”). The notes issued in connection with the CLO Transaction (the “2018-1 Notes”) are secured by a diversified portfolio of the 2018-1 Issuer consisting primarily of middle market loans and participation interests in middle market loans, the majority of which are senior secured loans (the “2018-1 Portfolio”). At the 2018-1 Closing Date, the 2018-1 Portfolio was comprised of assets transferred from the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All transfers were eliminated in consolidation and there were no realized gains or losses recognized in the CLO Transaction.

The CLO Transaction was executed through a private placement of the following 2018-1 Notes:

2018-1 Notes	Principal Amount		Spread above Index	Interest rate at September 30, 2018
Class A-1 A	$	205,900,000	1.55% + 3 Month LIBOR	3.7624	%
Class A-1 B		45,000,000	1.50% + 3 Month LIBOR (first 24 months) 1.80% + 3 Month LIBOR (thereafter)	3.7124	%
Class A-2		55,100,000	2.15% + 3 Month LIBOR	4.3624	%
Class B		29,300,000	3.00% + 3 Month LIBOR	5.2124	%
Class C		30,400,000	4.00% + 3 Month LIBOR	6.2124	%
Total 2018-1 Notes		365,700,000
Membership Interests		85,450,000	Non-interest bearing	Not applicable
Total	$	451,150,000

The Class A-1 A, A-1 B, A-2, B and C 2018-1 Notes were issued at par and are scheduled to mature on October 20, 2030.  The Company received 100% of the membership interests (the “Membership Interests”) in the 2018-1 Issuer in exchange for its sale to the 2018-1 Issuer of the initial closing date loan portfolio.  The Membership Interests do not bear interest.

The Class A-1 A, A-1 B, A-2, B and C 2018-1 Notes are included in the consolidated financial statements.  The Membership Interests are eliminated in consolidation.

On the 2018-1 Closing Date, the Company used $311.0 million of the net proceeds to prepay a portion of the BCSF Revolving Facility and the 2018-1 Issuer transferred to the Company a portion of the net cash proceeds received from the sale of the 2018-1 Notes.

The Company serves as portfolio manager of the 2018-1 Issuer pursuant to a portfolio management agreement between the Company and the 2018-1 Issuer.  For so long as the Company serves as portfolio manager, the Company will not charge any management fee or subordinated interest to which it may be entitled.

During the reinvestment period (four years from the closing date of the CLO Transaction), pursuant to the indenture governing the 2018-1 Notes, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by the 2018-1 Issuer to purchase new collateral under the direction of the Company in its capacity as portfolio manager of the 2018-1 Issuer and in accordance with the 2018-1 Issuer’s investment strategy and the terms of the indenture.

76

The Company has agreed to hold on an ongoing basis the Membership Interests with an aggregate dollar purchase price of at least equal to 5% of the aggregate amount of all obligations issued by the 2018-1 Issuer for so long as the 2018-1 Notes remain outstanding.

The 2018-1 Issuer pays ongoing administrative expenses to the trustee, independent accountants, legal counsel, rating agencies and independent managers in connection with developing and maintaining reports, and providing required services in connection with the administration of the 2018-1 Issuer.

As of September 30, 2018, there were 69 first lien and second lien senior secured loans with a total fair value of approximately $423.8 million and cash of $37.7 million securing the 2018-1 Notes. Such assets are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The creditors of the 2018-1 Issuer have received security interests in such assets and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of the Company (or an affiliate of the Company). The 2018-1 Portfolio must meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, term, agency rating, collateral coverage, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements in the indenture governing the 2018-1 Notes.  As of September 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with its covenants related to the 2018-1 Notes.

Costs of $2.1 million were incurred in connection with debt securitization of the 2018-1 Notes by the 2018-1 Issuer which have been recorded as debt issuance costs and presented as a reduction to the outstanding principal amount of the 2018-1 Notes on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and are being amortized over the life of the 2018-1 Issuer using the effective interest method. The balance of the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the 2018-1 Issuer was $2.1 million as of September 30, 2018. The 2018-1 Issuer was not in existence as of December 31, 2017 and the 2018-1 Notes were not outstanding.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the components of interest expense related to the 2018-1 Issuer were as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2018		2017
Borrowing interest expense	$	126,974	$	—
Amortization of deferred financing costs and upfront commitment fees	947		—
Total interest and debt financing expenses	$	127,921	$	—

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the components of interest expense related to the 2018-1 Issuer were as follows:

	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2018		2017
Borrowing interest expense	$	126,974	$	—
Amortization of deferred financing costs and upfront commitment fees	947		—
Total interest and debt financing expenses	$	127,921	$	—

In accordance with applicable law and SEC staff guidance and interpretations, as a BDC, with certain limited exceptions, we are only permitted to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing, unless we meet certain disclosure and approval requirements in which case we may reduce our asset coverage ratio to 150%. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our asset coverage ratio was 247% and 212%, respectively. We may also refinance or repay any of our indebtedness at any time based on our financial condition and market conditions. In March 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act was enacted into law. The Small Business Credit Availability Act, among other things, amended the 1940 Act to reduce the asset coverage requirements applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% so long as the BDC meets certain disclosure requirements and obtains certain approvals. Application of the reduced asset coverage requirements to a BDC requires approval by either (1) a ‘‘required majority’’ (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the BDC’s board of directors, with effectiveness one

77

year after the date of such approval, or (2) a majority of the votes cast at a special or annual meeting of the BDC’s stockholders at which a quorum is present, which is effective the day after such stockholder approval. The amount of leverage that we employ will depend on our Advisor’s assessment of market conditions and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.

As previously noted, our Advisor plans to seek Board and stockholder approval to reduce our asset coverage ratio to 150% as soon as practical following the completion of this offering. If such approvals are obtained, our Advisor intends to amend the base management fee to implement a tiered management fee so that the base management fee of 1.5% will continue to apply to assets held at an asset coverage ratio of 200%, but a base management fee of 1.0% would apply to any amount of assets attributable to leverage decreasing our asset coverage ratio below 200%.

Distribution Policy

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. To the extent that we have income available, we intend to distribute quarterly distributions to our stockholders. Our quarterly distributions, if any, will be determined by the Board. Any distributions to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution.

We have elected to be treated, and intend to operate in a manner so as to continuously qualify, as, a regulated investment company (a “RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. To qualify for and maintain RIC tax treatment, among other things, we must distribute dividends to our stockholders in respect of each taxable year of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of the sum of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of our net long-term capital losses. In order to avoid the imposition of certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we must distribute dividends to our stockholders in respect of each calendar year of an amount at least equal to the sum of: (1) 98% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for such calendar year; (2) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses, adjusted for certain ordinary losses, generally for the one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year; and (3)  the sum of any net ordinary income plus capital gains net income for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no federal income tax.

We 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 all or a portion of our net capital gains for investment, incur a corporate-level tax on such capital gains, and elect to treat such capital gains as deemed distributions to our stockholders.

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for the reinvestment of cash dividends. Prior to the listing of the Company’s shares on a national securities exchange (a “Listing”), stockholders who “opted in” to our dividend reinvestment plan had their cash dividends and distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends and distributions. Subsequent to a Listing, stockholders who do not “opt out” of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends and distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends and distributions. Stockholders could elect to “opt in” or “opt out” of our dividend reinvestment plan in their Subscription Agreements, as defined. The elections of stockholders that make an election prior to a Listing shall remain effective after the Listing. Any dividends reinvested through the issuance of shares through our dividend reinvestment plan will increase our gross assets on which the base management fee and the incentive fee are determined and paid to our Advisor.

The following table summarizes distributions declared during the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

Date Declared	Record Date	Payment Date	Amount Per Share		Total Distributions
March 28, 2018	March 28, 2018	May 17, 2018	$	0.34	$	10,609,643
June 28, 2018	June 28, 2018	August 10, 2018	$	0.36	$	13,484,328
September 26, 2018	September 26, 2018	October 19, 2018	$	0.41	$	17,966,855
Total distributions declared			$	1.11	$	42,060,826

The following table summarizes distributions declared during the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

Date Declared	Record Date	Payment Date	Amount Per Share		Total Distributions
May 9, 2017	May 12, 2017	May 19, 2017	$	0.07	$	1,174,052
June 21, 2017	June 29, 2017	August 11, 2017	$	0.11	$	2,739,972
September 27, 2017	September 28, 2017	November 14, 2017	$	0.21	$	5,235,687
Total distributions declared			$	0.39	$	9,149,711

The U.S. federal income tax characterization of distributions declared and paid for the fiscal year will be determined at fiscal year-end based upon our investment company taxable income for the full fiscal year and distributions paid during the full year.

Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had unfunded capital commitments related to Subscription Agreements of $376.6 million and $752.6 million, respectively.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 1, 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. These consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments that in the opinion of the Company are necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented herein and are not necessarily indicative of the full fiscal year. The Company has determined it meets the definition of an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 — Financial Services — Investment Companies. The functional currency of the Company is U.S. dollars and these consolidated financial statements have been prepared in that currency.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Revenue Recognition

We record our investment transactions on a trade date basis. We record realized gains and losses based on the specific identification method. We record interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. Discount and premium to par value on investments acquired are accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest income over the life of the respective investment using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized and amortized into or against interest income using the effective interest method or straight-line method, as applicable. We record any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts received upon prepayment of a loan or debt security as interest income.

Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for such distributions in the case of private portfolio companies, and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Distributions received from a limited liability company or limited partnership investment are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital.

Certain investments may have contractual PIK interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the loan principal of the investment on the respective interest or dividend payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. We record PIK as interest or dividend income, as applicable. If at any point we believe PIK may not be realized, we place the investment generating PIK on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends are generally reversed through interest or dividend income, as applicable.

Certain structuring fees and amendment fees are recorded as other income when earned. We record administrative agent fees received as other income when the services are rendered.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. Market quotations are obtained from an independent pricing service, where available. If we cannot obtain a price from an independent pricing service or if the independent pricing service is not deemed to be representative with the market, we value certain investments held by us on the basis of prices provided by principal market makers. Generally investments marked in this manner will be marked at the mean of the bid and ask of the independent broker quotes obtained, in some cases, primarily illiquid securities, multiple quotes may not be available and the mid of the bid/ask from one broker will be used. To validate market quotations, we utilize a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value, subject at all times to the oversight and approval of the Board, based on the input of our Advisor, our Audit Committee and one or more independent third party valuation firms engaged by our Board.

With respect to unquoted securities, we value each investment considering, among other measures, discounted cash flow models, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public and other factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate and/or assist us in our valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily

81

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.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Advisor will undertake a multi-step valuation process, which includes among other things, the below:

·Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of our Advisor responsible for the portfolio investment or by an independent valuation firm;

·Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with our senior management and our Advisor. Agreed upon valuation recommendations are presented to our Audit Committee;

·Our Audit Committee of our Board reviews the valuations presented and recommends values for each of the investments to our Board;

·At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment constituting a material portion of the Company’s portfolio will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm; and

·Our Board discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in good faith based upon, among other things, the input of our Advisor, independent valuation firms, where applicable, and our Audit Committee.

In following this approach, the types of factors that are taken into account in the fair value pricing of investments include, as relevant, but are not limited to: comparison to publicly traded securities, including factors such as yield, maturity and measures of credit quality; the enterprise value of a portfolio company; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio companies ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows; and the markets in which the portfolio company does business. In cases where an independent valuation firm provides fair valuations for investments, the independent valuation firm provides a fair valuation report, a description of the methodology used to determine the fair value and their analysis and calculations to support their conclusion. We determine the fair value of its investment in ABCS giving consideration to the assets and liabilities of ABCS, at fair value, including consideration of any necessary adjustments. We conduct this valuation process on a quarterly basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium by requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, as well as for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe these changes will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 is part of the disclosure framework project and eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, requires entities to disclose new information, and modifies existing disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this change will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with our Advisor. Our Advisor has agreed to serve as our investment adviser in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay an annual base management fee as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance.

On October 11, 2018, the Board approved, subject to completion of the Proposed Initial Public Offering, an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement. Beginning with the calendar quarter that commences January 1, 2019, this Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement incorporates (i) a three-year lookback provision and (ii) a cap on quarterly income incentive fee payments based on net realized or unrealized capital loss, if any, during the applicable three-year lookback period.

We have entered into an Administration Agreement with the Administrator pursuant to which the Administrator will furnish us with administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. We reimburse the Administrator for its costs and expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including compensation paid to or compensatory distributions received by our officers (including our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer) and any of their respective staff who provide services to us, operations staff who provide services to us, and internal audit staff, if any, to the extent internal audit performs a role in our Sarbanes-Oxley internal control assessment.

82

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 our Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement.

A summary of the maturities of our principal amounts of debt and other contractual payment obligations as of September 30, 2018 are as follows:

	Payments Due by Period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1 — 3 years		3 — 5 years		More than 5 years
Revolving Credit Facility	$	83,639,250	$	—	$	83,639,250	$	—	$	—
BCSF Revolving Credit Facility	150,000,000		—		—		150,000,000		—
2018-1 Notes	365,700,000		—		—		—		365,700,000
Total Debt Obligations	$	599,339,250	$	—	$	83,639,250	$	150,000,000	$	365,700,000

Recent Developments

On October 5, 2018, we filed a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC related to an initial public offering of our common stock (the “Proposed Initial Public Offering”). We intend to use substantially all of the proceeds from the offering, net of expenses, to repay a portion of our outstanding indebtedness. We intend to use any remaining proceeds to make investments in accordance with our investment objectives and strategies and for general corporate purposes. The timing of our initial public offering is uncertain and there is no guarantee it will occur. The SEC has not declared this registration statement effective and securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy the securities be accepted, prior to the time this registration statement becomes effective.

The Small Business Credit Availability Act, which was signed into law in March 2018, modifies the applicable section of the 1940 Act to decreases the asset coverage requirements applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% (subject to either stockholder approval or approval of both a majority of the Board and a majority of directors who are not interested persons). Our Advisor plans to seek Board and stockholder approval to reduce our asset coverage ratio to 150% as soon as practical following the completion of the Proposed Initial Public Offering. If such approvals are obtained, our Advisor intends to amend the base management fee to implement a tiered management fee so that the base management fee of 1.5% will continue to apply to assets held at an asset coverage ratio of 200%, but a base management fee of 1.0% would apply to any amount of assets attributable to leverage decreasing our asset coverage ratio below 200%.

On October 11, 2018, the Board approved, subject to completion of the Proposed Initial Public Offering, an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement. Beginning with the calendar quarter that commences January 1, 2019, this Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement incorporates (i) a three-year lookback provision and (ii) a cap on quarterly income incentive fee payments based on net realized or unrealized capital loss, if any, during the applicable three-year lookback period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. We will generally invest in illiquid loans and securities including debt and equity securities of middle-market companies. Because we expect that there will not be a readily available market for many of the investments in our portfolio, we expect to value many of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board using a documented valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. 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.

Assuming that the statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2018 were to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.

	Increase (Decrease) in			Increase (Decrease) in			Net Increase (Decrease) in
Change in Interest Rates	Interest Income			Interest Expense			Net Investment Income
Down 25 basis points	$	(2,370,421	)	$	(1,498,348	)	$	(872,073	)
Up 100 basis points	9,547,136			5,993,393			3,553,743
Up 200 basis points	19,421,829			11,986,785			7,435,044
Up 300 basis points	29,356,723			17,980,178			11,376,545

From time to time, we may make investments that are denominated in a foreign currency. These investments are translated into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date, exposing us to movements in foreign exchange rates. We may employ hedging techniques to minimize these risks, but we cannot assure you that such strategies will be effective or without risk to us. We may seek to utilize instruments such as, but not limited to, forward contracts to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of our portfolio positions from changes in currency exchange rates. We also have the ability to borrow in certain foreign currencies under our Revolving Credit Agreement. Instead of entering into a foreign exchange forward contract in connection with loans or other investments we have made that are denominated in a foreign currency, we may borrow in that currency to establish a natural hedge against our loan or investment.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

                As of September 30, 2018 (the end of the period covered by this report), our management has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to material information relating to us that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only

83

reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

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) under 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

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under loans to or other contracts with our portfolio companies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and in our Registration Statement on Form N-2, filed on October 5, 2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in our Registration Statement on Form N-2, and discussed below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties are not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

We are subject to certain risks as a result of our interests in the membership interests in the 2018-1 Issuer.

Under the terms of the master loan sale agreement governing the 2018-1 CLO Transaction, we sold and/or contributed to the 2018-1 Issuer all of our ownership interest in our portfolio loans and participations for the purchase price and other consideration set forth in such master loan sale agreement (including an increase in the value of the Membership Interests). As a result of the CLO Transaction, we hold all of the Membership Interests, which comprise 100% of the equity interests, in the 2018-1 Issuer. As a result, we expect to consolidate the financial statements of the 2018-1 Issuer, as well as our other subsidiaries, in our consolidated financial statements. However, once contributed to a CLO, the underlying loans and participation interests have been securitized and are no longer our direct investment, and the risk return profile has been altered. In general, rather than holding interests in the underlying loans and participation interests, the CLO Transaction resulted in us holding membership interests in a CLO issuer (i.e., the 2018-1 Issuer), with the CLO holding the underlying loans. As a result, we are subject both to the risks and benefits associated with the equity interests of the CLO (i.e., the Membership Interests) and the risks and benefits associated with the underlying loans and participation interests held by the 2018-1 Issuer.

We have no prior experience managing CLOs.

The performance of the 2018-1 Issuer will be largely dependent on the analytical and managerial expertise of our investment professionals. Although we and our investment professionals and affiliates have prior experience investing in loans and other debt obligations, the 2018-1 Issuer will be the first CLO managed by us. Accordingly, we have no performance history of managing CLOs for potential investors to consider in evaluating the potential impact of the CLO Transaction on our overall performance.

We are subject to significant restrictions on our ability to advise the 2018-1 Issuer.

We will manage the assets of the 2018-1 Issuer pursuant to a portfolio management agreement with the 2018-1 Issuer (the “Portfolio Management Agreement”). The indenture governing the 2018-1 Notes (the “2018-1 Indenture”) and the Portfolio Management Agreement place significant restrictions on our ability to advise the 2018-1 Issuer to buy and sell collateral obligations, and we are subject to compliance with the 2018-1 Indenture and the Portfolio Management Agreement.  As a result of the restrictions contained in the 2018-1 Indenture and the Portfolio Management Agreement, the 2018-1 Issuer may be unable to buy or sell Collateral Obligations or to take other actions that we might consider in the interest of the 2018-1 Issuer and the holders of 2018-1 Notes, and we may be required to make investment decisions on behalf of the 2018-1 Issuer that are different from those made for our other clients. In addition, we may pursue any strategy consistent with the 2018-1 Indenture and the Portfolio Management Agreement, and there can be no assurance that such strategy will not change from time to time in the future. Further, for so long as we manage the assets of the 2018-1 Issuer pursuant to the Portfolio Management Agreement, we will elect to irrevocably waive any portfolio management fee to which we may be entitled under such Portfolio Management Agreement.

In our role as portfolio manager of the 2018-1 Issuer, we will be acting solely in the best interests of the 2018-1 Issuer as a whole and not solely in the best interests of the Membership Interests of the 2018-1 Issuer that we hold. As the interests of the holders of the 2018-1 Notes are senior in the 2018-1 Issuer’s capital structure to our Membership Interests, we may incur losses if we are required to dispose of a portion of the portfolio of the 2018-1 Issuer at inopportune times in order to satisfy the outstanding obligations of the holders of the 2018 Notes.

84

The subordination of the Membership Interests will affect our right to payment.

The Membership Interests are subordinated to the 2018-1 Notes and certain fees and expenses. If any Coverage Test (defined below) is not satisfied as of a determination date, cash flows (if any) and proceeds otherwise payable to the 2018-1 Issuer (which the 2018-1 Issuer could have otherwise distributed with respect to the Membership Interests) will be diverted to the payment of principal on the 2018-1 Notes. If the 2018-1 Issuer has not received confirmation from S&P Global Ratings of its initial ratings of each class of the 2018-1 Notes, or if we fail to hold the required amount of Membership Interests as required by European Union risk retention regulations (“Retention Deficiency”), proceeds will be diverted to pay principal on the 2018-1 Notes or to purchase additional collateral obligations (or, in the case of a Retention Deficiency, to the extent necessary to reduce such Retention Deficiency to zero). If during the period from and including the closing date of the CLO Transaction to and including the earliest of (i) October 20, 2022 and (ii) the date of the acceleration of the maturity of the 2018-1 Notes in accordance with the 2018-1 Indenture the applicable Overcollateralization Ratio Test (defined below) is not satisfied, proceeds will be diverted to purchase additional collateral obligations.

Although these tests generally compare the principal balance of the collateral obligations to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2018-1 Notes, certain reductions are applied to the principal balance of Collateral Obligations in connection with certain events, such as defaults or ratings downgrades to “CCC” levels or below, in each case that may increase the likelihood that one or more Overcollateralization Ratio Tests may not be satisfied.

On the scheduled maturity of the 2018-1 Notes or if acceleration of the 2018-1 Notes occurs after an event of default, proceeds available after the payment of certain administrative expenses) will be applied to pay both principal of and interest on the 2018-1 Notes until the 2018-1 Notes are paid in full before any further payment will be made on the Membership Interests. As a result, the Membership Interests would not receive any payments until the 2018-1 Notes are paid in full.

In addition, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, the holders of the 2018-1 Notes will be entitled to determine the remedies to be exercised under the 2018-1 Indenture. Remedies pursued by the holders of the 2018-1 Notes could be adverse to our interests as the holder of the Membership Interests, and the holders of the 2018-1 Notes will have no obligation to consider any possible adverse effect on such other interests. See “—The holders of certain of the 2018-1 Notes will control many rights under the 2018-1 Indenture and therefore, we will have limited rights in connection with an event of default or distributions thereunder.”

The holders of certain of the 2018-1 Notes will control many rights under the 2018-1 Indenture and therefore, we will have limited rights in connection with an event of default or distributions thereunder.

Under the 2018-1 Indenture, many of our rights as the holder of the Membership Interests will be controlled by the holders of certain of the 2018-1 Notes. Remedies pursued by such holders upon an event of default could be adverse to our interests. If the 2018-1 Notes are accelerated following an event of default, proceeds of any realization on the assets will be allocated to the 2018-1 Notes (in order of seniority) and certain other amounts owing by the 2018-1 Issuer will be paid in full before any allocation to us as the holder of the Membership Interests. Although we as the holder of the Membership Interests will have the right, subject to the conditions set forth in the 2018-1 Indenture, to purchase the assets in a sale by the trustee, if an event of default (or otherwise, an acceleration of the 2018-1 Notes following an event of default) has occurred and is continuing, we will not have any creditors’ rights against the 2018-1 Issuer and will not have the right to determine the remedies to be exercised under the 2018-1 Indenture. There is no guarantee that any funds will remain to make distributions to us as the holder of the Membership Interests following any liquidation of the assets and the application of the proceeds from the assets to pay the 2018-1 Notes and the fees, expenses, and other liabilities payable by the 2018-1 Issuer. The ability of the holders of the 2018-1 Notes to direct the sale and liquidation of the assets is subject to certain limitations. As set forth in the 2018-1 Indenture, notwithstanding any acceleration, if an event of default occurs and is continuing and the trustee has not commenced remedies under the 2018-1 Indenture, we as the portfolio manager of the 2018-1 Issuer may continue to direct dispositions and purchases of collateral obligations to the extent permitted under the 2018-1 Indenture.

If an event of default has occurred and is continuing (unless the trustee has commenced remedies pursuant to the 2018-1 Indenture), then (x) we as the portfolio manager of the 2018-1 Issuer may continue to direct sales and other dispositions, and purchases, of collateral obligations in accordance with and to the extent permitted pursuant to the 2018-1 Indenture and (y) the trustee will retain the assets securing the 2018-1 Notes intact, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments and deposits and maintain all accounts in respect of the assets and the 2018-1 Notes in accordance with the 2018-1 Indenture, unless: (i) the trustee, pursuant to the 2018-1 Indenture and in consultation with us as the portfolio manager of the 2018-1 Issuer, determines that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of the assets (after deducting the anticipated reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due (or, in the case of interest, accrued) and unpaid on the 2018-1 Notes for principal and interest (including accrued and unpaid deferred interest), and all other amounts payable pursuant to the priority of distributions prior to payment of principal on such 2018-1 Notes (including amounts due and owing, and amounts anticipated to be due and owing, as administrative expenses (without regard to any applicable limitation on such expenses)), and we as the portfolio manager of the 2018-1 Issuer and the holders of at least 662/3% (a “Supermajority”) of the most senior outstanding class of the 2018-1 Notes agrees with such determination; (ii) in the case of certain events of default, a Supermajority of the most senior outstanding class of the 2018-1 Notes directs the sale and liquidation of the assets; or (iii) a Supermajority of each class of the 2018-1 Notes (voting separately by class) directs the sale and liquidation of the assets.

85

The 2018-1 Indenture requires mandatory redemption of the 2018-1 Notes for failure to satisfy Coverage Tests.

Under the documents governing the CLO Transaction, there are two coverage tests (the “Coverage Tests”) applicable to the 2018-1 Notes.

The first such test (the “Interest Coverage Test”) compares the amount of interest proceeds received on the portfolio loans held by the 2018-1 Issuer to the amount of interest due and payable on the 2018-1 Notes. To meet this first test, for each class of 2018-1 Notes, interest received on the portfolio loans must equal at least 120%, 115% or 110% of the interest payable in respect of the Class A, Class B and Class C 2018-1 Notes, respectively.

The second such test (the “Overcollateralization Ratio Test”) compares the adjusted collateral principal amount of the portfolio of Collateral Obligations of the CLO Transaction to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2018-1 Notes. To meet this second test at any time, for each class of 2018-1 Notes, the adjusted collateral principal amount of such Collateral Obligations must equal at least 137.1%, 126.2% or 117.1% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2018-1 Notes comprising the Class A, B and C Classes, respectively.

If a Coverage Test is not met on any determination date on which such Coverage Test is applicable, the 2018-1 Issuer shall apply available amounts to redeem the 2018-1 Notes in an amount necessary to cause such tests to be satisfied.  This could result in an elimination, deferral or reduction in the payments of distributions to the 2018-1 Issuer (and as such, to us as the holder of the Membership Interests and indirect beneficiary of any such payments to the 2018-1 Issuer).

We may resign or be removed or terminated as portfolio manager of the 2018-1 Issuer.

We may resign or be removed or terminated as portfolio manager of the 2018-1 Issuer in a number of circumstances, including the breach of certain terms of the 2018-1 Indenture and the Portfolio Management Agreement. In addition, because a new portfolio manager may not be able to manage the 2018-1 Issuer according to the standards of the 2018-1 Indenture and the Portfolio Management Agreement, any transfer of the portfolio management functions to another entity could result in reduced or delayed collections, delays in processing loan transfers and information regarding the loans and a failure to meet all of the applicable procedures required by the Portfolio Management Agreement. Consequently, the termination or removal of us as portfolio manager of the 2018-1 Issuer could have material and adverse effects on our performance.

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

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we issued 119,579.90 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan. The issuances were not subject to the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The cash paid for shares of common stock issued under our dividend reinvestment plan during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $2,408,395. Other than the shares issued under our dividend reinvestment plan during the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we did not sell any unregistered equity securities, except as previously disclosed on Form 8-K filings.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

None.
