Income Taxes, Including Excise Taxes
The Company has elected, as of August 1, 2022, to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, and the Company intends to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, distribute to the Company’s stockholders in each taxable year generally at least 90% of the sum of our Investment Company Taxable Income, as defined by the Code (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), and net tax-exempt income for that taxable year. To maintain the Company’s tax treatment as a RIC, the Company, among other things, intends to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which generally relieve the Company from corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we did not incur any excise tax.
Financial Condition, Liquidity And Capital Resources
The Company generates cash from the net proceeds of offerings of its Shares, and from cash flows from interest and fees earned from its investments and principal repayments and proceeds from sales of its investments. The Company may also fund a portion of its investments through borrowings from banks and issuances of senior securities, including before the Company has fully invested the proceeds of any closing of the Company’s continuous private offering of its Shares. The Company’s primary use of cash will be investments in portfolio companies, payments of Company expenses and payment of cash distributions to stockholders.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding.
The Company may also from time to time enter into new credit facilities, increase the size of existing credit facilities or issue debt securities. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not hold closings of our continuous private offering of Shares.
Distributions and Distribution Reinvestment
There were no distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
