CODE OF ETHICS
FOR
SUTTER ROCK CAPITAL CORP.

Section I.    Statement of General Fiduciary Principles
This Code of Ethics (the “Code”) has been adopted by Sutter Rock Capital Corp. (the “Corporation” or “Sutter Rock”) in compliance with Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”). The purpose of the Code is to establish standards and procedures for the detection and prevention of activities by which persons having knowledge of the investments and investment intentions of the Corporation may abuse their fiduciary duty to the Corporation, and otherwise to deal with the types of conflict of interest situations to which Rule 17j-1 under the Act (“Rule 17j-1”) are appropriately to be addressed.

The Code is based on the principle that the directors, officers and employees of the Corporation who provide services to the Corporation owe a fiduciary duty to the Corporation to conduct their personal securities transactions in a manner that does not interfere with the Corporation’s transactions or otherwise take unfair advantage of their relationship with the Corporation. All directors, officers and employees of the Corporation (“Covered Persons”) are expected to adhere to this general principle as well as to comply with all of the specific provisions of this Code applicable to them. In addition, all Covered Persons must comply with applicable federal securities laws and must report violations of the Code to the Corporation’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”).

Technical compliance with the Code will not automatically insulate any Covered Person from scrutiny of transactions that show a pattern of compromise or abuse of the individual’s fiduciary duty to the Corporation. Accordingly, all Covered Persons must seek to avoid any actual or potential conflicts between their personal interests and the interests of the Corporation and its stockholders. In sum, all Covered Persons shall place the interests of the Corporation and its investors before their own personal interests.

All Covered Persons must read and retain this Code.

Investment Persons of the Corporation must obtain pre-approval from the CCO before directly or indirectly acquiring Beneficial Ownership in any Covered Securities in an Initial Public Offering or in a Limited Offering. Such approval must be obtained from the CCO, either directly in writing using the Pre-Clearance Request Form, unless the person seeking such approval is the CCO, in which case pre-approval must be obtained from the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer using the Pre-Clearance Request Form.

Section V.    Reports by Access Persons

Initial and Annual Personal Securities Accounts and Holdings Reports.


Last Approved: March 5, 2020



All Access Persons shall within 10 days of the date on which they become Access Persons, and thereafter, within 30 days after the end of each calendar year, disclose the title and type of security, and as applicable the exchange ticker symbol or CUSIP number, number of shares, and principal amount of all Covered Securities in which they have a Beneficial Ownership as of the date the person became an Access Person, in the case of such person’s initial report, and as of the last day of the year, as to annual reports. A form of such report, which is hereinafter called an “Initial and Annual Personal Securities Accounts and Holdings Report,” is attached as Schedule B. Each Initial and Annual Personal Securities Accounts and Holdings Report must also disclose the name of any broker, dealer, or bank with whom the Access Person maintained an account in which any securities were held for the direct or indirect benefit of the Access Person as of the date the person became an Access Person or as of the last day of the year, as the case may be. Each Initial and Annual Personal Securities Accounts and Holdings Report shall state the date it is being submitted. In all cases, the information must be current as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the date the person becomes an Access Person, or the date the report was submitted, as applicable.

(B)
Quarterly Transaction Reports.

Within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, each Access Person shall make a written report to the CCO (or designee) of all transactions occurring in the quarter in a Covered Security in which he or she had any Beneficial Ownership. A form of such report, which is hereinafter called a “Quarterly Securities Transaction Report,” is attached as Schedule C.

A Quarterly Securities Transaction Report shall be in the form of Schedule C or such other form approved by the CCO (or designee) and must contain the following information with respect to each reportable transaction:

(1)

The date the report is submitted by the Access Person.

Such an Independent Director also need not file a Quarterly Securities Transaction Report unless such director knew or, in the ordinary course of fulfilling his or her official duties as a director of the Corporation, should have known that during the 15-day period immediately preceding or after the date of the transaction in a Covered Security by the director, such Covered Security is or was purchased or sold by the Corporation or the Corporation considered purchasing or selling such Covered Security.

Last Approved: March 5, 2020




(D) Brokerage Accounts and Statements.
Access Persons, except Independent Directors, shall:

(1)
within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, identify the name of the broker, dealer or bank with whom the Access Person established an account in which any securities were held during the quarter for the direct or indirect benefit of the Access Person and identify any new account(s) and the date the account(s) were established. This information shall be included on the appropriate Quarterly Securities Transaction Report;

(2)
instruct the brokers, dealers or banks with whom they maintain such an account to provide duplicate account statements to the CCO (or designee); and

(3)
on an annual basis, certify that they have complied with the requirements of (1) and (2) above.

(E) Form of Reports.

A Quarterly Securities Transaction Report may consist of broker statements or other statements that provide a list of all personal Covered Securities holdings and transactions in the time period covered by the report and contain the information required in a Quarterly Securities Transaction Report.

(F) Responsibility to Report.

It is the responsibility of each Access Person to take the initiative to comply with the requirements of this Section V. Any effort by the Corporation to facilitate the reporting process does not change or alter that responsibility. A person need not make a report hereunder with respect to transactions effected for, and Covered Securities held in, any account over which the person has no direct or indirect influence or control.

(G) Where to File Reports.

All Quarterly Securities Transaction Reports and Initial and Annual Personal Securities Accounts and Holdings Reports must be filed with the CCO, either (1) directly in writing using Schedules C or B, respectively (or such other forms as the CCO may prescribe for this purpose), or (2) online, via the System.

(H) Disclaimers.

Any report required by this Section V may contain a statement that the report will not be construed as an admission that the person making the report has any direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership in the Covered Security to which the report relates.


Section VI.    Additional Prohibitions

(A)
Confidentiality of the Corporation’s Transactions.


Last Approved: March 5, 2020



Until disclosed in a public report to stockholders or to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the normal course, all information concerning the securities “being considered for purchase or sale” by the Corporation shall be kept confidential by all Covered Persons and disclosed by them only on a “need to know” basis. It shall be the responsibility of the CCO to report to the directors of the Corporation any known violations found in this regard.

(B) Gifts and Entertainment Policy.

Covered Persons and their immediate families should not solicit, accept, retain or provide any gifts or favors which might influence decisions of the Covered Person or the recipient in making business transactions involving the Corporation, or which others might reasonably believe could influence those decisions. Even a nominal gift should not be accepted if, to a reasonable observer, it might appear that the gift would influence a business decision. No Covered Person may give or accept gifts of cash or cash equivalents.

The policy does not apply to gifts of de minimis value (e.g., pens, notepads, doughnuts, pizza, modest desk ornaments, etc.) or to promotional items of nominal value that display a firm logo (e.g., umbrellas, tote bags, shirts, etc.) and “personal” gifts received because of kinship, marriage or social relationships entirely beyond and apart from an organization in which membership or an official position is held. De minimis gifts and promotional items must be less than the $250 limit to fall within the exclusion.

These prohibitions do not apply to ordinary and usual business entertainment, so long as such entertainment is neither so frequent nor so lavish as to raise any questions of impropriety. For an item to be considered “business entertainment,” the vendor must be present at the event/meal and there must be an opportunity to discuss matters relating to Corporation business. For example, if a Covered Person receives theater tickets from a vendor, the tickets are “business entertainment” only if the vendor attends the event and there is an opportunity to discuss business matters. If not, the tickets should be treated as a “gift” for purposes of this policy and subject to the limitations.

All Covered Persons must report the receipt or giving of any Sutter Rock Entity business-related gift with an apparent value that exceeds $250 (other than personal gifts and gifts of de minimis or nominal value, as defined above) and the acceptance or furnishing of all similarly related business entertainment with an apparent value that exceeds $250. Both of these thresholds are on a “per individual” basis.

In addition, the extension by Covered Persons, on behalf of a Sutter Rock Entity, of all invitations for business entertainment that can reasonably be expected to be valued in excess of $500 must be pre-approved by the CCO prior to any such extension. This threshold is on a “per individual” basis.

Regardless of the dollar value, Covered Persons may not give a gift or provide entertainment that is inappropriate under the circumstances, or inconsistent with applicable law or regulations, to persons associated with securities or financial organizations, exchanges, member firms, commodity firms, news media or ERISA fiduciaries. In addition, Covered Persons must confer with the CCO, who may consult legal counsel, before making contact with state or local government plans, and comply with all applicable state or local laws regarding such communications.

The CCO shall maintain a log of all business-related gifts given or received by all Covered Persons in excess of $250, and of all similarly related business entertainment accepted by a Covered Person or furnished by a Covered Person on behalf of the Corporation, the value of either which exceeds $250. These thresholds are on a “per individual” basis.
