From
and in the normal course of business, the Company may make unfunded capital commitments to current or prospective portfolio companies. Typically, the Company may agree to provide delayed-draw term loans or, to a lesser extent, revolving loan or equity commitments. These unfunded capital commitments always take into account the Company’s liquidity and cash available for investment, portfolio and issuer diversification, and other considerations. Accordingly, the Company had the following unfunded capital commitments at March 31, 2023:
The credit agreements of the above loan commitments contain customary lending provisions and/or are subject to the portfolio company’s achievement of certain milestones that allow relief to the Company from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had sufficient cash available and/or liquid securities available to fund its commitments and had reviewed them for any appropriate fair value adjustment.
We have entered into the Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which we will pay management fees, administrative coordinator fees and incentive fees to the Adviser. The Board held a virtual meeting on August 2, 2022 to consider and approve the Investment Management Agreement and related matters. In reliance on certain exemptive relief provided by the SEC, the Board undertook to ratify the Investment Management Agreement at its next
in-person
meeting. Subject to certain restrictions, the Investment Management Agreement will remain in effect for a period of two years from January 27, 2023, the date it first became effective, and will remain in effect from year to year thereafter if approved annually by a majority of the Board, including a majority of independent directors, or by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities until terminated by the Company, or by the Adviser, upon 60 days’ prior written notice.
Mr. Gross, our Chairman,

Executive Officer and President and Mr. Spohler, our
Co-Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and board member, are managing members and senior investment professionals of, and have financial and controlling interests in, the Adviser. In addition, Mr. Kajee, our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary serves as the Chief Financial Officer for the Adviser. The Adviser may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. For example, the Adviser presently serves as investment adviser to SLR Investment Corp., a publicly traded BDC, which focuses on investing in senior secured loans, including financing leases and to a lesser extent, unsecured loans and equity securities. In addition, Michael S. Gross, our Chairman,
Co-Chief
Executive Officer and President, Bruce Spohler, our
Co-Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and Shiraz Y. Kajee, our Chief Financial Officer, serve in similar capacities for SLR Investment Corp., SCP Private Credit Income BDC LLC and SLR HC BDC LLC. The Adviser and certain investment advisory affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Adviser or its affiliates may determine that we should invest
with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, and consistent with the Adviser’s allocation procedures. On June 13, 2017, the Adviser received an exemptive order that permits the Company to participate in
