CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

As of December 31, 2023

(amounts in thousands)

(1) Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt and equity investments held by the Company are domiciled in the United States. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”), the Company would be deemed to “control” a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities and/or held the power to exercise control over the management or policies of the portfolio company. As of December 31, 2023, the Company does not “control” any of these portfolio companies. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company would be deemed an “affiliated person” of a portfolio company if the Company owns 5% or more of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities. As of December 31, 2023, the Company is not an “affiliated person” of any of these portfolio companies. Certain portfolio company investments are subject to contractual restrictions on sales.

(2)Variable rate loans to the portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that is determined by reference to either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), or an alternate base rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the U.S. Prime Rate), which generally resets quarterly. For each such loan, the Company has indicated the reference rate used and provided the spread and the interest rate in effect as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the reference rates for variable rate loans were the 30-day SOFR at 5.35%, the 90-day SOFR at 5.33%, the 180-day SOFR at 5.16%, the daily SONIA at 5.19%, the 30-day EURIBOR at 3.85%, the 90-day EURIBOR at 3.91% and the 30-day CDOR at 5.45%.

(3)Loan includes interest rate floor feature, which ranges from 0.50% to 3.00%.

(6)The Company has determined the indicated investments are non-qualifying assets under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying assets unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets.

(7)Security acquired in transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may be deemed to be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act, unless otherwise noted. As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate fair value of these securities is $61,088, or 5.54% of the Company’s net assets.

(8)Loan was on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2023.

(9)In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this loan, which is the amount reflected in this schedule, the Company is entitled to receive additional interest as a result of an agreement among lenders, which has been included in the spread of each applicable investment. Pursuant to the agreement among lenders in respect of this loan, this investment represents a first lien/last out loan, which has a secondary priority behind the first lien/first out loan with respect to principal, interest and other payments.

(10)Represents a corporate mezzanine loan, which is subordinated to senior secured term loans of the portfolio company.

(11)Loans include a credit spread adjustment that ranges from 0.10% to 0.43%.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

As of June 30, 2024

(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

1. ORGANIZATION

Carlyle Credit Solutions, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “CARS” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation formed on February 10, 2017 and structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”). In addition, the Company has elected to be treated, and intends to continue to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Code”).

The Company’s investment objective is to generate attractive risk adjusted returns and current income primarily through assembling a portfolio of senior secured term loans to U.S. middle market companies in which private equity sponsors hold, directly or indirectly, a financial interest in the form of debt and/or equity. The Company's core investment strategy focuses on lending to U.S. middle market companies, which the Company defines as companies with approximately $25 million to $100 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), supported by financial sponsors. This core strategy is opportunistically supplemented with differentiated and complementary lending and investing strategies, which take advantage of the broad capabilities of Carlyle's Global Credit platform while offering risk-diversifying portfolio benefits. The Company seeks to achieve its objective primarily through direct origination of secured debt instruments, including first lien senior secured loans (which may include stand-alone first lien loans, first lien/last out loans and “unitranche” loans) and second lien senior secured loans (collectively, “Middle Market Senior Loans”), with a minority of its assets invested in higher yielding investments (which may include unsecured debt, subordinated debt and investments in equities and structured products). The Middle Market Senior Loans are generally made to private U.S. middle market companies that are, in many cases, controlled by private equity firms.

The Company invests primarily in loans to middle market companies whose debt has been rated below investment grade, or would likely be rated below investment grade if it was rated. These securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominately speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.

On September 11, 2017 (“Commencement”), the Company completed its initial closing of capital commitments (the “Initial Closing”) and subsequently commenced substantial investment operations. On January 21, 2022, stockholders approved the Company's conversion from a finite life private BDC with no interim liquidity to a private BDC with a perpetual life and a regular quarterly liquidity program. The conversion extends indefinitely the Company's term and finite investment period and permits the Company to accept new subscriptions for shares of its common stock in a new continuous private offering (the “New Continuous Offering”).

Effective March 3, 2017, the Company changed its name from Carlyle Private Credit, Inc. to TCG BDC II, Inc., and effective March 29, 2022 the Company’s name was changed to Carlyle Credit Solutions, Inc. In connection therewith, the Company has adopted a policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of our total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in credit investments (such as loans, notes, bonds, and other credit instruments). This policy may be changed with 60 days’ prior notice to our shareholders. None of the Company’s policies are fundamental, and thus may be changed without shareholder approval.

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012.

The Company is externally managed by its investment adviser, Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management L.L.C. (the “Investment Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Carlyle Group Inc. and an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Carlyle Global Credit Administration L.L.C. (the “Administrator”) provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate. Both the Investment Adviser and the Administrator are wholly owned subsidiaries of Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. (“CIM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Carlyle Group Inc. “Carlyle” refers to The Carlyle Group Inc. and its affiliates and its consolidated subsidiaries (other than portfolio companies of its affiliated funds), a global investment firm publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “CG”. Refer to the sec.gov website for further information on Carlyle.

Table of Contents

Carlyle Credit Solutions SPV LLC (the “SPV”) is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed on January 28, 2019. The SPV, which invests in first and second lien senior secured loans, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is consolidated in these unaudited consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation.

Carlyle Credit Solutions SPV 2 LLC (“SPV2,” and collectively with the SPV, the “SPVs”) is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed on March 10, 2020. SPV2, which invests in first and second lien senior secured loans, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is consolidated in these unaudited consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation.

Carlyle Direct Lending CLO 2024-1 LLC (the “2024-1 Issuer”) is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed on June 4, 2024. The 2024-1 Issuer is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that will invest in first and second lien senior secured loans, and is consolidated in these unaudited consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation.

As a BDC, the Company is required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. As part of these requirements, the Company must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the Investment Company Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of its total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions).

To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders generally at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Pursuant to this election, the Company generally does not have to pay corporate level taxes on any income that it distributes to stockholders, provided that the Company satisfies those requirements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company is an investment company for the purposes of accounting and financial reporting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the SPVs. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. U.S. GAAP for an investment company requires investments to be recorded at fair value. The carrying value for all other assets and liabilities approximates their fair value.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented have been included. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.

Certain prior period disclosures within the Consolidated Schedule of Investments have been amended to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management’s estimates are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Assumptions and estimates regarding the valuation of investments and their resulting impact on management and incentive fees involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity and these assumptions and estimates may be significant to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material.

Table of Contents

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment at the time of exit using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments as presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations reflects the net change in the fair value of investments, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized. See Note 3, Fair Value Measurements, to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information about fair value measurements.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments (e.g., money market funds, U.S. treasury notes) with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held with two large financial institutions and cash held in such financial institutions may, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held restricted cash balances of $68,069 and $45,508, respectively, which represent amounts that are collected and held by trustees appointed by the Company for payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings, or reinvestment into new assets. The amounts are held by the trustees as custodians of the assets securing certain of the Company’s financing transactions. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately $1,343 and $1,758, respectively, of the restricted cash balances were denominated in a foreign currency. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the cost of foreign currencies was $3,095 and $1,753, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of foreign currencies was $3,073 and $1,780, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Interest from Investments

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt investments represents the original cost, including origination fees and upfront fees received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

The Company may have loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provisions. PIK income represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the loans in the portfolio with PIK provisions was $230,009 and $290,154, respectively, which represents approximately 13.5% and 15.9% respectively, of total investments at fair value. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company earned $4,307 and $8,237 in PIK income, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company earned $2,874 and $5,647 in PIK income, respectively.

Other Income

Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, underwriting, arranger and prepayment fees associated with the Company’s investment activities, as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered. The Company may receive fees for guaranteeing the outstanding debt of a portfolio company. Such fees are amortized into other income over the life of the guarantee. The unamortized amount, if any, is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company earned $923, and $2,893, respectively, in other income, primarily from amendment fees and prepayment fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company earned $701 and $3,019, respectively, in other income, primarily from prepayment fees and commitment fees.

Non-Accrual Income

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are current or there is no longer any reasonable doubt that such principal or interest will be

Table of Contents

collected in full and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may determine not to place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the loans in the portfolio on non-accrual status was $10,922 and $9,122, respectively. The remaining first and second lien debt investments were performing and current on their interest payments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the periods then ended.

Credit Facilities — Related Costs, Expenses and Deferred Financing Costs

The SPV and SPV2 have each entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “SPV Credit Facility” and the “SPV2 Credit Facility,” respectively, and together, the “Credit Facilities”). Interest expense and unused commitment fees on the Credit Facilities are recorded on an accrual basis. Unused commitment fees are included in interest expense and credit facility fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Credit Facilities are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value.

Deferred financing costs include capitalized expenses related to the closing or amendments of the Credit Facilities. Amortization of deferred financing costs for each credit facility is computed on the straight-line basis over the respective term of each credit facility. The unamortized balance of such costs is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and credit facility fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

For federal income tax purposes, the Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code, and intends to make the required distributions to its stockholders as specified therein. In order to qualify as a RIC, the Company must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then the Company is generally required to pay income taxes only on the portion of its taxable income and gains it does not distribute.

The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require the Company to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (“ICTI”), as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.

In addition, based on the excise distribution requirements, the Company is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Company distributes in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in the preceding year. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company that is subject to corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred $460 and $841, respectively, in excise tax expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred $298 and $401, respectively, in excise tax expense.

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. The SPVs are disregarded entities for tax purposes and are consolidated with the tax return of the Company. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes, if any, are included in income tax expense.

Dividends and Distributions to Common Stockholders

To the extent that the Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to make quarterly distributions to its common stockholders. Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be distributed, if any, is determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and is generally based upon the taxable earnings estimated by management and available cash. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan, pursuant to which all cash dividends declared by the Board of Directors are reinvested on behalf of common stockholders on shares of common stock purchased in the New Continuous Offering who do not elect to receive their dividends on such shares in cash. As a result, if the Board of Directors authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend or other distribution on shares of common stock purchased in the New Continuous Offering then stockholders who have not opted out of our dividend reinvestment plan with respect to such shares will have their

Table of Contents

cash distributions on such shares purchased in the New Continuous Offering automatically reinvested in additional shares, rather than receiving the cash dividend or other distribution. Shares issued under the dividend reinvestment plan will not reduce outstanding capital commitments.

Functional Currency

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. Investments are generally made in the local currency of the country in which the investments are domiciled and are translated into U.S. Dollars with foreign currency translation gains or losses recorded within net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Foreign currency translation gains and losses on non-investment assets and liabilities are separately reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities.

Recent Accounting Standards Updates

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim period within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect this guidance to impact its consolidated financial statements.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with the terms of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transfer between market participants at the measurement date. Effective September 8, 2022, the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, determines in good faith the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio for which market quotations are not readily available. The Investment Adviser values securities/instruments traded in active markets on the measurement date by multiplying the closing price of such traded securities/instruments by the quantity of shares or amount of the instrument held. The Investment Adviser may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of its investments, such as its securities/instruments traded in active markets and its liquid securities/instruments that are not traded in active markets, from pricing services, brokers, or counterparties (i.e., “consensus pricing”). When doing so, the Investment Adviser determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. The Investment Adviser may use the quote obtained or alternative pricing sources may be utilized including valuation techniques typically utilized for illiquid securities/instruments.

Securities/instruments that are illiquid or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser, does not represent fair value shall each be valued as of the measurement date using all techniques appropriate under the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available. These valuation techniques may vary by investment and include comparable public market valuations, comparable precedent transaction valuations and/or discounted cash flow analyses. The process generally used to determine the applicable value is as follows: (i) the value of each portfolio company or investment is initially reviewed by the investment professionals responsible for such portfolio company or investment and, for non-traded investments, a standardized template designed to approximate fair market value based on observable market inputs, updated credit statistics and unobservable inputs is used to determine a preliminary value, which is also reviewed alongside consensus pricing, where available; (ii) preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and reviewed by a valuation committee comprised of personnel of the Investment Adviser; (iii) the Board of Directors engages a third-party valuation firm to provide positive assurance on portions of the Middle Market Senior Loans and equity investments portfolio each quarter (such that each non-traded investment is reviewed by a third-party valuation firm at least once on a rolling twelve month basis) including a review of management’s preliminary valuation and conclusion on fair value; (iv) if applicable, prior to September 8, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) reviewed the assessments of the Investment Adviser and the third-party valuation firm; and (v) if applicable, prior to September 8, 2022, the Board of Directors discussed the valuation recommendations of the Audit Committee and determined the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser and, where applicable, the third-party valuation firm.

All factors that might materially impact the value of an investment are considered, including, but not limited to the assessment of the following factors, as relevant:

•the nature and realizable value of any collateral;

•call features, put features and other relevant terms of debt;

•the portfolio company’s leverage and ability to make payments;

•the portfolio company’s public or private credit rating;

•the portfolio company’s actual and expected earnings and discounted cash flow;

•prevailing interest rates and spreads for similar securities and expected volatility in future interest rates;

•the markets in which the portfolio company does business and recent economic and/or market events; and

•comparisons to comparable transactions and publicly traded securities.

Investment performance data utilized are the most recently available financial statements and compliance certificates received from the portfolio companies as of the measurement date which in many cases may reflect a lag in information.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the realized gains or losses on investments to be different from the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation currently reflected in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023.

U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which ranks the level of observability of market price inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment and state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in determination of fair values, as follows:

•Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. Financial instruments in this category generally include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets. The Investment Adviser does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

•Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date and are those other than quoted prices in active markets. Financial instruments in this category generally include less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active markets, government and agency securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.

•Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments in this category generally include investments in privately-held entities, collateralized loan obligations, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Investment Adviser’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.

The Company generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments that are categorized as Level 3:

Investments in debt securities are initially evaluated to determine whether the enterprise value of the portfolio company is greater than the applicable debt. The enterprise value of the portfolio company is estimated using a market approach and an income approach. The market approach utilizes market value (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The Investment Adviser carefully considers

Table of Contents

numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose multiples are used to value the Company’s portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. The income approach typically uses a discounted cash flow analysis of the portfolio company.

Investments in debt securities that do not have sufficient coverage through the enterprise value analysis are valued based on an expected probability of default and discount recovery analysis.

Investments in debt securities with sufficient coverage through the enterprise value analysis are generally valued using a discounted cash flow analysis of the underlying security. Projected cash flows in the discounted cash flow typically represent the relevant security’s contractual interest, fees and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the security’s expected maturity date. The discount rate to be used is determined using an average of two market-based methodologies. Investments in debt securities may also be valued using consensus pricing.

Investments in equities are generally valued using a market approach and/or an income approach. The market approach utilizes market value (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The income approach typically uses a discounted cash flow analysis of the portfolio company.

The following tables summarize the quantitative information related to the significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 instruments which are carried at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in first and second lien debt securities are discount rates, indicative quotes and comparable EBITDA multiples. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in equities are discount rates and

Table of Contents

comparable EBITDA multiples. Significant increases in discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Significant decreases in indicative quotes or comparable EBITDA multiples in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

Financial instruments disclosed but not carried at fair value

The carrying values of the secured borrowings generally approximate their respective fair values due to their variable interest rates. Secured borrowings are categorized as Level 3 within the hierarchy. The carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value based on the short term nature of these items.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Investment Advisory Agreement

On June 26, 2017, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The initial term of the Investment Advisory Agreement was two years from June 26, 2017 and renewed automatically for successive annual periods with the specific approval of the Board of Directors, including the vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act (the “Independent Directors”). On October 11, 2021, the Board, including all of its Independent Directors, reviewed and approved the terms of an amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement”) for an initial term of two years, conditional upon stockholders’ approval of the proposal to convert the Company to a perpetual life BDC as discussed above. On January 21, 2022, stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, which the Company entered into effective as of the date of such approval.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement effective as of January 21, 2022, and subject to the overall supervision of the Board of Directors, the Investment Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Company. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives fees from the Company consisting of two components—a management fee and an incentive fee.

From the period September 12, 2021 until January 21, 2022, the management fee was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Company’s average Capital Under Management (as defined below) at the end of the then-current quarter and the prior calendar quarter. “Capital Under Management” means cumulative capital called, less cumulative distributions categorized as Returned Capital. “Returned Capital” means unused capital commitments increased by the aggregate amount of (i) any portion of distributions made by the Company to an investor during the Original Investment Period (as defined below) which represents (A) proceeds realized from the sale or repayment of any investment (as opposed to investment income) during the Investment Period (but not in excess of the cost of any such investment) or (B) a return of such investor’s capital contributions to the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors, and (ii) any amount drawn down by the Company from unused capital commitments to pay management fees, incentive fees, organizational expenses or Company expenses, to the extent such investor receives subsequent distributions. For the avoidance of doubt, Capital Under Management does not include capital acquired through the use of leverage, and Returned Capital does not include distributions of the Company’s investment income (i.e., proceeds received in respect of interest payments, dividends or fees, net of expenses) or net realized capital gains to the investors.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement until January 21, 2022, the incentive fee consisted of two parts. The first part was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equaled 15.0% of pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a preferred return of 1.75% per quarter (7.0% annualized), or “hurdle rate,” and a “catch-up” feature. The second part was determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year in an amount equal to 15.0% of realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses on a cumulative basis and unrealized capital depreciation less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees, provided that no incentive fee on capital gains is payable to the Investment Adviser unless cumulative total return exceeded a 7.0% annual return on weighted average cumulative capital called less cumulative distributions categorized as Returned Capital.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, effective January 21, 2022, (i) the income-based incentive fee rate was reduced from 15.0% to 12.5%, and the “hurdle rate” was reduced from 1.75% (7.0% annualized) to 1.25% (5.0% annualized); (ii) the capital gains incentive fee was reduced from 15.0% to 12.5%; and (iii) the calculation of the annual base management fee was changed to 1.00% of the Company's net asset value as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter (as adjusted for capital called, dividends reinvested, distributions paid and issuer share repurchases made during the current calendar quarter) from 1.00% of the Company's average Capital Under Management. The terms of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement were effective upon execution of the agreement, except for the change

Table of Contents

to the income-based incentive fee which became effective for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2022. The Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement will continue in effect until January 21, 2024 and, unless terminated earlier, will renew automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the vote of the Board and by the vote of a majority of the Independent Directors. On May 2, 2024, the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved the continuance of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement for an additional one year term. The Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of an assignment and may be terminated by either party without penalty upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the other party.

Below is a summary of the base management fees and incentive fees incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Base management fees	$	2,505	$	2,709	$	5,151	$	5,456
Net investment income incentive fees	4,509		4,923		9,430		9,949




Total base management fees and incentive fees	$	7,014	$	7,632	$	14,581	$	15,405

Accrued capital gains incentive fees are based upon the cumulative net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from inception. Accordingly, the accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under U.S. GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no accrued or realized capital gains incentive fees.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $7,015 and $7,847, respectively, was included in management and incentive fees payable in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

On June 26, 2017, the Investment Adviser entered into a personnel agreement with The Carlyle Group Employee Co., L.L.C. (“Carlyle Employee Co.”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, pursuant to which Carlyle Employee Co. provides the Investment Adviser with access to investment professionals.

Administration Agreement

On April 18, 2017, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator. Unless terminated earlier, the Administration Agreement renews automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of the Board of Directors or by a majority vote of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Company’s Independent Directors. The Administration Agreement may not be assigned by a party without the consent of the other party and may be terminated by either party without penalty upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the other party. On May 2, 2024, the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved the continuance of the Company’s Administration Agreement for an additional one year term.

Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides services and receives reimbursements equal to an amount that reimburses the Administrator for its costs and expenses and the Company’s allocable portion of overhead incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation paid to or compensatory distributions received by the Company’s officers (including the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer) and respective staff who provide services to the Company, operations staff who provide services to the Company, and any internal audit staff, to the extent internal audit performs a role in the Company’s internal control assessment under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). Reimbursement under the Administration Agreement occurs quarterly in arrears.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred $500 and $965, respectively, in fees under the Administration Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred $314 and $441, respectively, in fees under the Administration Agreement. These fees are included in administrative service fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $926 and $1,863, respectively, was unpaid and included in administrative service fees payable in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

On June 22, 2017, the Administrator entered into a sub-administration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street” and, such agreement, the “State Street Sub-Administration Agreement” and, together with the Carlyle Sub-Administration Agreements, the “Sub-Administration Agreements”).

Unless terminated earlier, the State Street Sub-Administration Agreement renews automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of the Board of Directors or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Company’s Independent Directors. On May 2, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved the continuance of the Company’s Sub-Administration Agreements for an additional one year term.

Quarterly Tender Offers

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company commenced a quarterly liquidity program pursuant to which the Company expects to conduct quarterly tender offers (the “Quarterly Tender Offer”) to repurchase up to 3.5% of the number of shares of its common stock outstanding as of the end of the calendar quarter immediately prior to the quarter in which the Quarterly

Table of Contents

Tender Offer is conducted, at a per share price equal to the net asset value per share as of the last date of the quarter in which the Quarterly Tender Offer is conducted, less an early repurchase fee of 2% of the net asset value of such shares in the case of shares that have an initial issue date within the one year period prior to the valuation date associated with such Quarterly Tender Offer. However, the Board of Directors has the discretion to determine whether or not the Company will purchase common stock from stockholders, and the Company is not required to conduct tender offers on a quarterly basis or at all. If during any consecutive 24-month period, the Company does not engage in a quarterly tender offer in which the Company accepts for purchase 100% of properly tendered shares (a “Qualifying Tender”), the Company generally will not make commitments for new portfolio investments (excluding short-term cash management investments under 30 days in duration) and will reserve available assets to satisfy future tender requests until a Qualifying Tender occurs, subject to the Company continuing to use available funds and liquidity for certain purposes. As of June 30, 2024, the most recent Qualifying Tender was the Quarterly Tender Offer that commenced on March 28, 2024, with a cash payment date of May 10, 2024.

concurrent with the filing of the Company’s tax return. The Company’s federal tax returns are generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after they are filed.

Book and tax differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified among the Company’s capital accounts. In addition, the character of income and gains to be distributed is in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from US GAAP. As of June 30, 2023, permanent differences primarily due to non-deductible expenses from investments in partnerships and non-deductible excise tax resulted in a net increased in distributable earnings (loss) by $79, and a net decrease in additional paid-in capital in excess of par by $79, on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Total earnings and NAV were not affected.

The Company’s taxable income for each period is an estimate and will not be finally determined until the Company files its tax return for each year. Therefore, the final taxable income, and the taxable income earned in each period and carried forward for distribution in the following period, may be different than this estimate. The estimated tax character of the distributions paid for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was follows:


	For the six month periods ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
Ordinary income	$	54,665	$	57,524
Long-term capital gains	—		—

Carlyle Credit Solutions, Inc., a Maryland corporation is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act and have operated our business as a BDC since we began our investment activities. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a registered investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Code”). We were incorporated in February 2017. We conducted the Initial Private Offering and intend to conduct the New Continuous Offering of our shares of common stock to investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We have an indefinite term. Our principal executive offices are located at One Vanderbilt Avenue, Suite 3400, New York, New York 10017.

Our investment objective is to generate attractive risk adjusted returns and current income primarily through assembling a portfolio of senior secured term loans to U.S. middle market companies in which private equity sponsors hold, directly or indirectly, a financial interest in the form of debt and/or equity. Our core investment strategy focuses on lending to U.S. middle market companies, which we define as companies with approximately $25 million to $100 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), supported by financial sponsors. This core strategy is opportunistically supplemented with differentiated and complementary lending and investing strategies, which take advantage of the broad capabilities of Carlyle's Global Credit platform while offering risk-diversifying portfolio benefits. We seek to achieve our investment objective primarily through direct origination of secured debt instruments, including first lien senior secured loans (which may include stand-alone first lien loans, first lien/last out loans and “unitranche” loans) and second lien senior secured loans (collectively, “Middle Market Senior Loans”), with a minority of our assets invested in investments that are typically higher yielding than Middle Market Senior Loans (which may include unsecured debt, mezzanine debt and investments in equities and structured products). The Middle Market Senior Loans are generally made to private U.S. middle market companies that are, in many cases, controlled by private equity firms.

Table of Contents

We invest primarily in loans to middle market companies whose debt is rated below investment grade, or would likely be rated below investment grade if it was rated. These securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominately speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.

We are externally managed by our Investment Adviser, an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”) and a subsidiary of Carlyle. We benefit from our Investment Adviser’s investment team of over 200 investment professionals with the deep knowledge and expertise across multiple asset classes who are supported by a team of finance, operations and administrative professionals currently employed by Carlyle Employee Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Carlyle. In conducting our investment activities, we believe that we benefit from the significant scale, relationships and resources of Carlyle, including our Investment Adviser and its affiliates.

•During the quarter, we declared a dividend of $0.51 per share or $26.8 million .

•Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 declined from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily driven by a decrease in the size of our portfolio.

•The NAV per share decreased to $19.76 as of June 30, 2024, from $19.81 as of March 31, 2024, primarily driven by net unrealized depreciation on the portfolio partially offset by net investment income in excess of our dividend for the quarter.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our NAV per share was $19.76 and $19.60, respectively.

Investment Income

We generate investment income primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments we hold. In addition, we generate income from dividends on direct equity investments, capital gains on the sales of loans and debt and equity securities and various loan origination and other fees. Our debt investments generally have a stated term of five to eight years and generally bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark such as SOFR. Interest on these debt investments is generally paid quarterly. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. At times, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. We may also generate investment income in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include: (i) investment advisory fees, including management fees and incentive fees, to our Investment Adviser pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement; (ii) debt service and other costs of borrowings or other financing arrangements; (iii) costs and other expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by our Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement between us and our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”); and (iv) other operating expenses summarized below:

Portfolio Credit

As part of the monitoring process, our Investment Adviser has developed risk assessment policies pursuant to which it regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our debt investments and rates each of them based on the following categories, which we refer to as “Internal Risk Ratings”. Key drivers of internal risk ratings include financial metrics, financial covenants, liquidity and enterprise value coverage. Pursuant to these risk policies, an Internal Risk Rating of 1 – 5, which are defined below, is assigned to each debt investment in our portfolio.

Table of Contents


Rating			Definition
1			Borrower is operating above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable.

2			Borrower is operating generally as expected or at an acceptable level of performance. The level of risk to our initial cost basis is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination. This is the initial risk rating assigned to all new borrowers.

3			Borrower is operating below expectations and level of risk to our cost basis has increased since the time of origination. The borrower may be out of compliance with debt covenants. Payments are generally current although there may be higher risk of payment default.

4			Borrower is operating materially below expectations and the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due, but generally not by more than 120 days. It is anticipated that we may not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a loss of our initial cost basis upon exit.

5			Borrower is operating substantially below expectations and the loan’s risk has increased substantially since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. It is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis upon exit.

Our Investment Adviser monitors and, when appropriate, changes the risk ratings assigned to each debt investment in our portfolio. Our Investment Adviser reviews our investment ratings in connection with our quarterly valuation process. The below table summarizes the Internal Risk Ratings as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, the maximum principal amount of the SPV Credit Facility was $550,000, and is subject to availability under the SPV Credit Facility and restrictions imposed on borrowings under the Investment Company Act. The SPV Credit Facility has a maturity date of April 3, 2028, with one one-year extension option, subject to the SPV’s and the lender’s consent. The SPV Credit Facility has a revolving period through October 15, 2026. The SPV may borrow amounts in U.S. Dollars or certain other permitted currencies. Borrowings under the SPV Credit Facility bear interest initially at SOFR (or, if applicable, a rate based on the prime rate or federal funds rate) plus 2.54% per year. The SPV also pays a fee of 0.75% per year on undrawn amounts under the SPV Credit Facility. Payments under the SPV Credit Facility are made quarterly. The SPV Credit Facility is secured by a first lien security interest on substantially all of the assets of the SPV.

The SPV Credit Facility consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:



	Total Facility		Borrowings Outstanding		Unused Portion (1)		Amount Available (2)		Weighted Average Interest Rate

June 30, 2024	$	550,000	$	402,074	$	147,926	$	100,966	7.69	%
December 31, 2023	$	700,000	$	424,447	$	275,553	$	107,156	7.72	%

(1)The unused portion is the amount upon which commitment fees are based.

(2)Available for borrowing based on the computation of collateral to support the borrowings and subject to compliance with applicable covenants and financial ratios.

SPV2 Credit Facility

The SPV2 entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility with a lender on May 13, 2020 (the “SPV2 Credit Facility,” together with the SPV Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), as amended from time to time. The SPV2 Credit Facility provides for secured borrowings during the applicable revolving period up to a principal amount of $550,000, subject to availability under the SPV2 Credit Facility and restrictions imposed on borrowings under the Investment Company Act. The SPV2 Credit Facility has a revolving period through March 7, 2025 and a maturity date of March 7, 2030. Borrowings under the SPV2 Credit Facility bear interest initially at SOFR (or, if applicable, a rate based on the prime rate or federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus 2.40% per year, plus a term SOFR adjustment of 0.15% per year. Prior to the June 29, 2023 amendment, borrowings under the SPV2 Credit Facility bore interest at LIBOR (or, if applicable, a rate based on the prime rate or federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus 2.40% per year. SPV2 is also required to pay an undrawn commitment fee of 0.25% per year. Payments under the SPV2 Credit Facility are made quarterly. The lenders have a security interest on substantially all of the assets of SPV2.

The SPV2 Credit Facility consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:



	Total Facility		Borrowings Outstanding		Unused Portion (1)		Amount Available (2)		Weighted Average Interest Rate

Investment Income

The decrease in investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in average outstanding investment balance and a decrease in other income. As of June 30, 2024, the size of our portfolio decreased to $1,737,333 from $1,830,959 as of March 31, 2024, at amortized cost. As of both June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the weighted average yield of our total debt and income producing investments was 12.4% and 12.5%, respectively, based on amortized cost.

Interest income and PIK income on our first and second lien debt investments are dependent on the composition and credit quality of the portfolio. Generally, we expect the portfolio to generate predictable quarterly interest income based on the terms stated in each loan’s credit agreement. As of June 30, 2024, two of our debt investments were on non-accrual status at a fair value of $10,922, which represented approximately 0.6% of total investments at fair value. As of March 31, 2024, there were no non-accrual investments.

The decrease in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by lower prepayment and amendment fees.

Expenses

The decrease in interest expense and credit facility fees for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven by lower weighted average borrowings outstanding.

Table of Contents

The decrease in base management fees for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven by a decrease in our net asset value.

The decrease in incentive fees for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven by lower pre-incentive fee net investment income.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, there were no accrued capital gains incentive fees based upon the cumulative net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of June 30, 2024. The accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. See Note 4, Related Party Transactions, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on the incentive and management fees.

Professional fees include legal, rating agencies, audit, tax, valuation, technology and other professional fees incurred related to the management of the Company. Administrative service fees represent fees paid to the Administrator for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers and their respective staff. Other general and administrative expenses include insurance, filing, research, subscriptions and other costs.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

The amount of and number of investments with realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 were as follows:


	Three months ended
	June 30, 2024		March 31, 2024
Realized gains on investments	$	86	$	4,012
Number of investments with realized gains	3		5
Realized losses on investments	$	(1,858)	$	(44,370)
Number of investments with realized losses	3		3
Change in unrealized appreciation on investments	$	11,752	$	56,747
Number of investments with unrealized appreciation	62		88
Change in unrealized depreciation on investments	$	(17,585)	$	(12,833)
Number of investments with unrealized depreciation	91		65

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized a realized loss from the restructuring of our investment in Material Holdings, LLC.

Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is driven by changes in other inputs utilized under our valuation methodology, including, but not limited to, enterprise value multiples, borrower leverage multiples and borrower ratings, and the impact of exits.

Investment Income

The decrease in investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by a decrease in interest income. As of June 30, 2024, the size of our portfolio decreased to $1,737,333 from $2,010,887 as of June 30, 2023, at amortized cost. As of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the weighted average yield of our total debt and income producing investments was 12.4% and 12.3%, respectively, based on amortized cost.

Interest and PIK income on our first and second lien debt investments are dependent on the composition and credit quality of the portfolio. Generally, we expect the portfolio to generate predictable quarterly interest income based on the terms stated in each loan’s credit agreement. As of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, two and three of our debt investments were on non-accrual status, respectively. Non-accrual investments had a fair value of $10,922 and $8,548, which represented 0.6% and 0.4% of total investments at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The remaining first and second lien debt investments were performing and current on their interest payments as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

The increase in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by higher amendment fees. The decrease in other income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by lower prepayment fees, partially offset by higher amendment fees.

Table of Contents

Expenses

The decrease in interest expense and credit facility fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by a lower weighted average debt balance.

The decrease in incentive fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by lower pre-incentive fee net investment income.

The decrease in base management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by lower average gross assets as a result of net repayments on our investments.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no accrued capital gains incentive fees based upon the cumulative net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of June 30, 2024. The accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under U.S. GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. See Note 4, Related Party Transactions, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on the incentive and management fees.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

The amount of and number of investments with realized gain (loss) and changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were as follows:


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Realized gains on investments	$	86	$	1,206	$	4,098	1,241
Number of investments with realized gains	3		5		8		7
Realized losses on investments	$	(1,858)	$	—	$	(46,228)	(1,200)
Number of investments with realized losses	3		0		6		4
Change in unrealized appreciation on investments	$	11,752	$	12,698	$	62,698	$	30,944
Number of investments with unrealized appreciation	62		92		81		102
Change in unrealized depreciation on investments	$	(17,585)	$	(39,217)	$	(24,617)	$	(61,475)
Number of investments with unrealized depreciation	91		61		84		62

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized a realized loss after the write-off of our investment in American Physician Partners, partially offset by a realized gain from the recapitalization of our investment in Dermatology Associates. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was mainly driven by the reversal of prior period unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to these two borrowers.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capitalization

We have capitalized our business to date primarily through the issuance and sale of our common stock and asset-level financing. We may also fund a portion of our investments through borrowings under the Credit Facilities, as well as through securitization of a portion of our existing investments. As of June 30, 2024, we had $732,374 of outstanding consolidated indebtedness under the Credit Facilities, as previously discussed within Portfolio and Investment Activity - Portfolio Financing.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2024, we had $252,084 of liquidity that can be used to satisfy our short-term cash requirements and working capital for our business. Refer to Note 5, Borrowings, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our financing.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, net financial leverage was 0.64x and 0.66x, respectively.

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under our Credit Facilities.


	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	79,865	$	65,755
Available borrowings under Credit Facilities	172,219		226,028
Total Liquidity	$	252,084	$	291,783

We generate cash from the net proceeds of offerings of our common stock and through cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, as well as income earned on investments and cash equivalents. We may also fund a portion of our investments through borrowings under our credit facilities, the issuance of debt, and through securitization of a portion of our existing investments. The primary use of existing funds and any funds raised in the future is expected to be for investments in portfolio companies, repayment of indebtedness, cash distributions to our stockholders, the repurchase of our shares through the Quarterly Tender Offer, and for other general corporate purposes. We believe our current cash position, available capacity on our credit facilities and net cash provided by operating activities will provide us with sufficient resources to meet our obligations and continue to support our investment objectives, including reserving for the capital needs which may arise at our portfolio companies.

Liquidity Needs

Our primary liquidity needs include our funding of new and existing portfolio investments, payment of operating expenses and interest and principal payments under the Credit Facilities. We also repurchase our shares through the Quarterly Tender Offers.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. Future events could occur which may give rise to liabilities arising from these provisions against us. We believe that the likelihood of such an event is remote; however, the maximum potential exposure is unknown. No accrual has been made in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 for any such exposure.

We have in the past, currently are and may in the future become obligated to fund commitments such as revolving credit facilities, bridge financing commitments, or delayed draw commitments. We had the following unfunded commitments to fund delayed draw and revolving senior secured loans as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:


	Par / Principal Amount as of
	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Unfunded delayed draw commitments	$	87,087	$	75,501
Unfunded revolving commitments	61,824		63,465
Total unfunded commitments	$	148,911	$	138,966

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities	(157,762)
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	14,110

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we paid $121,713 related to cost of investments purchased and received $247,592 in repayments on our investments. Net borrowings on our Credit Facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $20,771. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we issued 1,994,995 shares for an aggregate offering price of approximately $39,065 and repurchased and extinguished 5,746,841 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $113,204.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information currently available to us and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. There have been no material changes in the critical accounting estimates since those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in the valuations of our investment portfolio and interest rates.

Valuation Risk

Our investments generally do not have a readily available market price. Our Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, values our investments for which market quotations are not readily available in good faith at fair value in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. 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 fluctuate from period to period. In addition, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is possible that the difference could be material.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2024, on a fair value basis, approximately 99.8% of our debt investments bear interest at a floating rate, which primarily are subject to interest rate floors. The Credit Facilities are subject to floating interest rates and are primarily paid based on floating SOFR rates.

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. There can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our income in the future.

The following table estimates the potential changes in net cash flow generated from interest income, should interest rates increase or decrease by 100, 200 or 300 basis points. These hypothetical interest income calculations are based on a model of the settled debt investments in our portfolio held as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and are only adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates and the impact of that change on interest income. Interest expense is calculated based on outstanding secured borrowings as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and based on the terms of our Credit Facilities. Interest expense on our Credit Facilities is calculated using the stated interest rate as of June 30, 2024 and

Table of Contents

December 31, 2023, adjusted for the hypothetical changes in rates, as shown below. We intend to continue to finance a portion of our investments with borrowings and the interest rates paid on our borrowings may significantly impact our net interest income.

We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

Based on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the following table shows the annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates for our settled debt investments (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) and outstanding secured borrowings assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:


	As of June 30, 2024						As of December 31, 2023
Basis Point Change	Interest Income		Interest Expense		Net Investment Income		Interest Income		Interest Expense		Net Investment Income

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them of material information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 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

The Company may become party to certain lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against the Company. See also Note 9, Litigation, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth within this Form 10-Q, consideration should be given to the information disclosed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023

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

Except as previously reported by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K, we did not sell any equity securities during the period covered in this report that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Share Repurchases

In the second quarter of 2022, we commenced a quarterly liquidity program pursuant to which we expect to conduct quarterly tender offers (the “Quarterly Tender Offer”) to repurchase up to 3.5% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the end of the calendar quarter immediately prior to the quarter in which the Quarterly Tender Offer is conducted, at a per share price equal to the net asset value per share as of the last day of the quarter in which the Quarterly Tender Offer is conducted, less an early repurchase fee of 2% of the net asset value of such shares in the case of shares that have an initial issue date within the one year period prior to the valuation date associated with such Quarterly Tender Offer. However, the Board of Directors has the discretion to determine whether or not we will purchase common stock from stockholders, and we are not required to conduct tender offers on a quarterly basis or at all. If during any consecutive 24-month period, we do not engage in a quarterly tender offer in which we accept for purchase 100% of properly tendered shares (a “Qualifying Tender”), we will not make commitments for new portfolio investments (excluding short-term cash management investments under 30 days in duration) and will reserve available assets to satisfy future tender requests until a Qualifying Tender occurs, subject to our continuing to use available funds and liquidity for certain purposes.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, upon completion of our tender offer that commenced March 28, 2024 we repurchased 2,695,879 shares for a purchase price $19.81 of per share, or approximately $53.4 million in aggregate.
