NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
Blackstone / GSO Floating Rate Enhanced Income Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund engages in continuous offering of shares and operates as an interval fund that offers to make monthly repurchases of shares at the net asset value (the “NAV”).
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide attractive current income with low sensitivity to rising interest rates.
The Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 20, 2017 pursuant to a Declaration of Trust governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. The Fund had no operations from that date to November 10, 2017, other than those related to organizational matters and the registration of its shares under applicable securities laws. GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC (the “Adviser”) purchased 4,000 Institutional Class I Common Shares (“Class I Shares”) at a NAV of $25.00 per share on November 10, 2017. The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class I Shares, Advisory Class D Common Shares (“Class D Shares”), Brokerage Class T Common Shares (“Class T Shares”), Brokerage Class T-I Common Shares (“Class T-I Shares”) and Brokerage Class U Common Shares (“Class U Shares”), and a maximum offering of $3,000,000,000 of common shares. Class I Shares commenced operations on January 18, 2018, Class T Shares commenced operations on May 7, 2018, Class D Shares commenced operations on October 1, 2018, Class T-I Shares commenced operations on April 22, 2019 and Class U Shares commenced operations on November 29, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, Class I Shares (BGFLX), Class T Shares (BGFTX), Class D Shares (BGFDX), Class T-I Shares (BGFPX) and Class U Shares (BGFVX) were outstanding.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are stated in U.S. dollars. The Fund is considered an Investment Company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Portfolio Valuation: The Fund’s NAV is determined daily on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”) is open for business, as of the close of the regular trading session on the Exchange. The Fund calculates NAV per share by subtracting liabilities (including accrued expenses or dividends) from the total assets of the Fund (the value of the securities plus cash or other assets, including interest accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result by the total number of outstanding common shares of the Fund.
Loans are primarily valued by using a composite loan price from a nationally recognized loan pricing service. The methodology used by the Fund’s nationally recognized loan pricing provider for composite loan prices is to value loans at the mean of the bid and ask prices from one or more brokers or dealers. Collateralized loan obligation securities (“CLOs”) are valued at the price provided by a nationally recognized pricing service. The prices provided by the nationally recognized pricing service are typically based on the evaluated mid-price of each of the CLOs. Corporate bonds and convertible bonds, other than short-term investments, are valued at the price provided by a nationally recognized pricing service. The prices provided by the nationally recognized pricing service are typically based on the mean of bid and ask prices for each corporate bond security. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are generally valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Futures contracts, if any, are ordinarily valued at the last sales price on the securities or commodities exchange on which they are traded. Written and purchased options, if any, are ordinarily valued at the closing price on the securities or commodities exchange on which they are traded. Short-term debt investments, if any, having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased would be valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Any investments and other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value (“Fair Valued Assets”) as determined in good faith by a committee of the Adviser (“Fair Valued Asset Committee”) under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Such methods may include, but are not limited to, the use of a market comparable and/or income approach methodologies. A Fair Valued Asset Committee meeting may be called at any time by any member of the Fair Valued Asset Committee. The pricing of all Fair Valued Assets and determinations thereof shall be reported by the Fair Valued Asset Committee to the Board at each regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. The Fund has procedures to identify and investigate potentially stale prices for investments which are valued using a nationally recognized pricing service, exchange price or broker-dealer quotations. After performing such procedures, any prices which are deemed to be stale are reviewed by the Fair Valued Asset Committee and an alternative pricing source is determined.
Various inputs are used to determine the value of the Fund’s investments. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date.
Level 2— Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3— Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The categorization of investments and other financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and other financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables summarize valuation of the Fund’s investments under the fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30,2020:

Securities Transactions and Investment Income:
Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes and amounts payable or receivable for trades not settled at the time of year end are reflected as liabilities and assets, respectively. Interest Income is recognized on an accrual basis from the date of settlement. Accretion of discount and amortization of premium, which are included in interest income, are accreted or amortized daily using the accrual basis interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
3. LOANS AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in floating rate loans, notes, or bonds. “Managed Assets” means net assets plus the amount of any borrowings and the liquidation preference of any preferred shares that may be outstanding. Under current market conditions, the Fund anticipates that its portfolio of floating rate instruments will primarily consist of floating rate loans (“Loans”). Loans are made to U.S. and non-U.S. corporations, partnerships and other business entities (“Borrowers”) that operate in various industries and geographical regions. At June 30, 2020, 83.51% of the Fund’s Managed Assets were held in floating rate loan interests.
Loans hold a senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, are secured with specific collateral and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the Borrower that is senior to that held by unsecured creditors, subordinated debt holders and stockholders of the Borrower.
Loans often require prepayments from Borrowers’ excess cash flows or permit the Borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which Borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, floating rate loans typically have an expected average life of two to four years. Floating rate loans typically have rates of interest which are re-determined periodically, either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a floating base lending rate, primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus a premium or credit spread.
Loans are subject to the risk of payment defaults of scheduled interest or principal. Such non-payment could result in a reduction of income, a reduction in the value of the investment and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Fund. Risk of loss of income is generally higher for subordinated unsecured loans or debt, which are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral. There can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral securing a Loan would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation to the Fund in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated.
Second lien loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in first lien loans except that such loans are subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority to first lien holders. In the event of default on a second lien loan, the first priority lien holder has first claim to the underlying collateral of the loan. Second lien loans are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the Borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior obligations of the Borrower. At June 30, 2020 the Fund had invested $28,218,084 in second lien secured loans.
Loans can be rated below investment grade or may also be unrated. As a result, the risks associated with Loans may be similar to the risks of other below investment grade securities, although they are senior and secured in contrast to other below investment grade securities, which are often subordinated or unsecured. The Fund typically invests in Loans rated below investment grade, which are considered speculative because of the credit risk of the Borrowers. Such companies are more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal owed to the Fund, and such defaults could reduce NAV and income distributions. The amount of public information available with respect to below investment grade loans will generally be less extensive than that available for registered or exchange-listed securities. In evaluating the creditworthiness of Borrowers, the Adviser will consider, and may rely in part, on analyses performed by others. The Adviser’s established best execution procedures and guidelines require trades to be placed for execution only with broker-dealer counterparties approved by a committee of the Adviser. The factors considered by such committee when selecting and approving brokers and dealers include, but are not limited to: (i) quality, accuracy, and timeliness of execution, (ii) review of the reputation, financial strength and stability of the financial institution, (iii) willingness and ability of the counterparty to commit capital, (iv) ongoing reliability and (v) access to underwritten offerings and secondary markets. The committee regularly reviews each broker-dealer counterparty based on the foregoing factors.
The Fund may acquire Loans through assignments or participations. The Fund typically acquires these Loans through assignment, and if the Fund acquires a Loan through participation, it will seek to elevate a participation interest into an assignment as soon as practicably possible. The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation. A participation typically results in a contractual relationship only with the institution participating out the interest, not with the Borrower. Sellers of participations typically include banks, broker-dealers, other financial institutions and lending institutions. The Adviser has adopted best execution procedures and guidelines to mitigate credit and counterparty risk in the atypical situation when the Fund must acquire a Loan through participation.
The Fund invests in CLOs. A CLO security is a financing company (generally called a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”)), created to reapportion the risk and return characteristics of a pool of assets. While the assets underlying CLO securities are typically secured Loans, the assets may also include (i) unsecured loans, (ii) debt securities that are rated below investment grade, and (iii) equity securities incidental to investments in secured Loans. When investing in CLO securities, the Fund will not invest in equity tranches, which are the lowest tranche. However, the Fund may invest in lower tranches of CLO securities, which typically experience a lower recovery, greater risk of loss or deferral or non-payment of interest than more senior tranches of the CLO. In addition, the Fund intends to invest in CLO securities consisting primarily of individual secured Loans of Borrowers and not repackaged CLO securities from other high risk pools. The underlying secured Loans purchased by CLOs are generally performing at the time of purchase but may become non-performing, distressed or defaulted. CLOs with underlying assets of non-performing, distressed or defaulted loans are not contemplated to comprise a significant portion of the Fund’s investments in CLOs. The key feature of the CLO structure is the prioritization of the cash flows from a pool of debt securities among the several classes of the CLO. The SPV is a company founded solely for the purpose of securitizing payment claims arising out of this diversified asset pool. On this basis, marketable securities are issued by the SPV which, due to the diversification of the underlying risk, generally represent a lower level of risk than the original assets. The redemption of the securities issued by the SPV typically takes place on a date earlier then legal maturity from a refinancing of the senior debt tranches of the secured loans.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), net of other permissible investments in this 20% basket, to the extent that such investments are permissible under the 1940 Act, including interpretations or modifications by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). ETFs are pooled investment vehicles that are often designed to provide investment results corresponding to an index. These indexes may be either broad-based, sector or international. ETFs usually are units of beneficial interest in an investment trust or represent undivided ownership interests in a portfolio of securities (or commodities), in each case with respect to a portfolio of all or substantially all of the component securities of, and in substantially the same weighting as, the relevant benchmark index. ETFs are listed on an exchange and trade in the secondary market on a per-share basis. The Fund may invest in other investment companies to gain broad market or sector exposure, including during periods when it has large amounts of uninvested cash (such as the period shortly after the Fund receives the proceeds of the offering of its common shares), or when the Adviser believes share prices of other investment companies offer attractive values or as part of the Adviser’s liquidity management for purposes of meeting repurchase requests. The Fund may invest in investment companies that are advised or sub-advised by the Adviser or its affiliates to the extent permitted by applicable law and/or pursuant to exemptive relief from the SEC. As a shareholder in an investment company, the Fund will bear its ratable share of that investment company’s expenses and would remain subject to payment of the investment company’s management fees (except with respect to investments in affiliated investment companies) and other expenses with respect to assets so invested. Common shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies.
NOTE 4. LEVERAGE
The Fund entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders party thereto to borrow money pursuant to a one-year revolving line of credit ("Leverage Facility") dated January 18, 2018, as amended on June 22, 2018, and as further amended on August 16, 2018 and as amended and restated on October 23, 2018, and as further amended and restated on December 28, 2018, and as amended on January 17, 2019, as further amended on June 27, 2019, as further amended on September 11, 2019, as further amended on January 16, 2020, and as further amended on April 9, 2020 to borrow up to an aggregate limit of $260,000,000 under two loan tranches, Tranche A and Tranche B. The Tranche A commitment allows for borrowings up to $225,000,000. The Tranche B commitment allows for borrowings for temporary purposes up to $35,000,000 and includes a swing line component with a commitment equal to $35,000,000. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by the assets of the Fund. Interest is charged at a rate of 0.85% above LIBOR for each Tranche A loan, with LIBOR measured for the period commencing on the date of the making of such LIBOR loan (or the last date upon which any other Tranche A loan was converted to, or continued as, such LIBOR loan) and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month that is one (1), two (2), three (3), six (6) or nine (9) months thereafter, as the Fund may elect, or such other periods as the lender may agree in its sole and absolute discretion and (b) 0.90% above LIBOR with respect to each Tranche B Loan and each swing line loan with, LIBOR measured for the period commencing on the date of the making of such LIBOR loan (or the last date upon which any other loan was converted to, or continued as, such LIBOR loan) and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month that is one month thereafter. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund must pay a commitment fee on any undrawn amounts. The commitment fee payable is (a) for Tranche A loans, 0.15% on the undrawn amounts when drawn amounts exceed 75% of the relevant borrowing limit and 0.25% on the undrawn amounts in all other events and (b) 0.15% for Tranche B loans. Interest and fees are generally payable quarterly. The Fund may elect to extend the Agreement for a further period with the consent of the lending bank. At June 30, 2020, the Fund had borrowings outstanding under its Leverage Facility of $151,000,000, at an interest rate of 1.04% for Tranche A. Due to the short term nature of the Agreement, face value approximates fair value at June 30, 2020. For the days leverage was drawn during the period October 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, the average borrowings under the Fund’s Leverage Facility and the average interest rate was $172,010,949 and 2.18%, respectively for Tranche A, and $7,406,522 and 1.44%, respectively for Tranche B.
Under the Agreement, the Fund has agreed to certain covenants and additional investment limitations while the leverage is outstanding. The Fund agreed to maintain asset coverage of three times over borrowings. Compliance with the investment restrictions and calculations are performed by the Fund's custodian, The Bank of New York Mellon.
The use of borrowings to leverage the common shares of the Fund can create risks. Changes in the value of the Fund's portfolio, including securities bought with the proceeds of leverage, are borne entirely by the holders of common shares of the Fund. All costs and expenses related to any form of leverage used by the Fund are borne entirely by common shareholders. If there is a net decrease or increase in the value of the Fund's investment portfolio, the leverage may decrease or increase, as the case may be, the NAV per common share to a greater extent than if the Fund did not utilize leverage.
