image3a35a.jpg

Priority Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end investment management company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, as a secondary objective, long-term capital appreciation. We expect to seek to achieve our investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of our total assets in senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in limited circumstances, unrated, which we collectively refer to as “Senior Secured Loans,” with an emphasis on current income. Our investments may take the form of the purchase of Senior Secured Loans (either in the primary or secondary markets) or through investments in the equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) vehicles that in turn own pools of Senior Secured Loans. The Company intends to invest in both the primary and secondary markets.

Letter to Stockholders

Dear Stockholders,

We are pleased to present this semi-annual report of Priority Income Fund, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Priority”) for the six months ended December 31, 2021. Priority has provided its stockholders cash distributions each month for the past eight years, and Priority recently increased its quarterly bonus distributions to stockholders for the sixth time since August 2020.

Priority paid to our stockholders a dividend yield for the period ended December 31, 2021 of 9.8%, based on the “Class R Shares” offering price of $13.63 at December 31, 2021, 10.4% based on the “Class RIA Shares” offering price of $12.81 at December 31, 2021 and 10.5% based on the “Class I Shares” offering price of $12.71 at December 31, 2021.

In addition to the aforementioned bonus distribution increases, NAV per share also increased by 9.1% during the 2021 calendar year since December 31, 2020, from $11.60 to $12.66.

Priority Update
In this semi-annual report, we refer to “Senior Secured Loans” collectively as senior secured loans made primarily to U.S. companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in some circumstances, unrated.

Calendar year 2021 focused on the reopening of the US economy from the shutdowns due to the impact of the global spread of COVID-19. The U.S. economy and the Senior Secured Loan market rebounded strongly during the year:
The U.S. unemployment rate peaked at 14.7% in April 2020 and has improved since such time. As of December 2021, the U.S. unemployment rate had decreased to 3.9%.(1)
U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”) grew at 2.3% and 6.9% annualized rates in Q3 and Q4 of 2021 respectively, adding to growth of 6.3% and 6.9% annualized for Q1 and Q2 2021 respectively .(2)
The S&P / LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (“S&P / LSTA Index”) troughed at 76.23 on March 23, 2020, the lowest level since the 2008 and 2009 financial crisis, before rebounding to 96.19 as of December 31, 2020.(3)
The S&P / LSTA Index continued to rally throughout 2021, reaching 98.64 as of December 31, 2021.
Defaults in the senior secured loan market have continued to decrease from 2020. The trailing twelve month market default rate decreased from 4.17% at September 30, 2020 to 0.29% at December 31, 2021.(5) Priority has continued to significantly outperform the overall market with a 0.15% default rate as of December 31, 2021.
We have been able to achieve this outperformance by (i) working with best-in-class fixed income managers, (ii) leveraging Prospect Capital Management's own 30+ year track record in investing in credit markets, and (iii) ensuring that the CLOs in which we invest are well diversified. As of December 31, 2021, Priority’s exposure to the oil & gas industry was limited to 2.2% and exposure to the retail industry was limited to 3.0%.
As of December 31, 2021, Priority held 166 total CLO investments, including 139 CLO equity investments and 27 CLO debt investments.
We have achieved diversity across over approximately 2,300 different Senior Secured Loans to over 1,000 companies, representing underlying collateral of $74.1 billion of Senior Secured Loans.
Our largest exposure to an underlying Senior Secured Loan or borrower is 1.00% of our portfolio.
As a result, a default or loss from one specific company is unlikely to significantly impact the performance of the Company.

Since our annual report in June 2021, we continued to implement Priority’s strategy of targeting attractive risk-adjusted investments in CLO debt and CLO equity that further our primary objective of providing our stockholders with current income. Priority accomplished the following in the second half of calendar year 2021:
Priority invested in 21 CLO equity investments totaling $89.0 million in cost basis and 2 debt investments totaling $2.1M in cost basis.
For full calendar year 2021, Priority invested in (i) 48 equity investments totaling $199.6M in cost basis and (ii) 2 debt investments totaling $2.1M in cost basis. One debt position was redeemed for a realized internal rate of return of 22%.




2022 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            5                             


Priority benefited from tightening of corporate credit spreads by executing five capital markets issuances in 2021, which achieved our goals of extending preferred equity maturities while also lowering the Company’s cost of capital:
In March 2021 we issued an additional series of preferred equity, Series G (NYSE: PRIFG), resulting in gross proceeds of $36.8 million. The issuance of preferred equity helped us achieve our target leverage for the Company of approximately 0.50x to 0.60x debt plus preferred equity to common equity.
In May 2021 we issued our second preferred equity transaction of the year, Series H (NYSE: PRIFH), resulting in gross proceeds of $29.9 million. We used the net proceeds from the offering of PRIFH to redeem all of the Company’s existing Series B preferred equity.
In June 2021 we issued our third preferred equity transaction of the year, Series I (NYSE: PRIFI), resulting in gross proceeds of $40.0 million. We used the net proceeds from the offering of PRIFI to redeem all the Company’s existing Series C preferred equity.
In August 2021, we issued our fourth preferred equity transaction of the year, Series J (NYSE: PRIFJ), resulting in gross proceeds of $39.5 million. We used the net proceeds from the offering of PRIFJ to redeem all the Company’s existing Series A preferred equity.
In October 2021, we issued our fifth preferred equity transaction of the year, Series K (NYSE: PRIFK), resulting in gross proceeds of $40.0 million. We used the net proceeds from the offering of PRIFK to redeem all the Company’s existing Series E preferred equity.

CLO Market Commentary
Due to the reopening of the global economy after the impact of the spread of COVID-19, issuance in the U.S. CLO market increased to record levels in 2021. U.S. CLO issuance in calendar year 2021 was $184.8 billion, nearly double the $93.1 billion of issuance in calendar year 2020.(6) CLOs represented 73% of the buyer base in the institutional Senior Secured Loan market in 2021, highlighting the importance of the CLO market.(7)

The volume of CLO refinancings and CLO resets (also known as extensions) significantly increased in 2021 as CLO liability spreads tightened after the volatility over the past 24 months. A CLO refinancing is an occurrence where all or part of the CLO liabilities are refinanced at a lower spread without a change in CLO maturity. The CLO refinancing at lower rates directly benefits the equity investors in CLOs, given that such refinancing reduces the spread cost of CLO financing. A CLO reset is an occurrence where all of the CLO liabilities are refinanced and the CLO reinvestment period is extended typically by two to five years. Priority participated in 17 reset and refinancing transactions in the second half of 2021.

CLO research analysts are projecting 2022 CLO issuance to decrease from the prior 2021 record year while still maintaining robust volumes on an historical basis:
Barclays: $135 - $145 billion(8)
Bank of America Merrill Lynch: $140 billion(9)
Citigroup: $165 billion(10)
JP Morgan: $130-140 billion(11)
Morgan Stanley: $160 billion(12)
Nomura: $145 billion(13)

We believe the following factors indicate that the long-term fundamentals for the investments held by Priority remain attractive: (1) Priority continued to increase its number of investments with 166 investments as of December 31, 2021, (2) Priority’s portfolio trailing twelve month (“TTM”) default rate as of December 31, 2021 stood at 0.15% (significantly less than the market TTM default rate of 0.29%)(3), (3) rating agencies have continued to upgrade CCC rated Senior Secured Loan issuers(4), and (4) loan prices continued to rally throughout 2021, benefiting Priority’s existing CLO investments.(3)

Dividend Policy
To qualify for U.S federal income tax treatment as a regulated investment company, the Company is required to pay out distributions as determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations. In certain periods, we expect the income distributable pursuant to these regulations, which we refer to as distributable income, to be higher or lower than our reportable accounting income. In addition to net investment income, our dividend policy considers in part our estimate of our distributable income, which includes (1) interest income from our underlying collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) debt and equity investments, (2) recognition of certain mark-to-market gains or losses to the extent that the fair market value of our CLO investments is determined to deviate from its adjusted tax basis, and (3) acceleration of unamortized fees and expenses following the refinancing or reset of a CLO’s liabilities. As a result, distributable income may differ from accounting income, as expressed by net investment income.

Our distributions may exceed our earnings, and portions of the distributions that we make may therefore be a return of the money that you originally invested and represent a return of capital to you for tax purposes.

M. Grier Eliasek
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

The Senior Secured Loans in which we invest are made primarily to U.S. companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in some circumstances, unrated. These investments, which are often referred to as “junk” or “high yield,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may also be difficult to value and illiquid.

This letter may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the future performance of Priority Income Fund, Inc. Words such as “believes,” “expects,” and “future” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Accordingly, such statements cannot be guarantees or assurances of any aspect of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including the impact of COVID-19 and related changes in base interest rates and significant market volatility on our business, our industry, and the global economy. Actual developments and results may vary materially from any forward-looking statements. Such statements speak only as of the time when made. Priority Income Fund, Inc. undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Any performance information quoted above represents past performance. We caution investors that the past performance described above is not indicative of and does not guarantee future returns. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance information may be different than the performance data presented above.

(1) The Company does not "control" and is not an "affiliate" of any of the portfolio investments, each term as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to "control" a portfolio company if the Company owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be an "affiliate" of a portfolio company if the Company owned 5% or more of its voting securities.
(2) The CLO subordinated notes/securities/fee notes, income notes and preferred shares are considered equity positions in the CLOs. The CLO equity investments are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the excess cash flow generated from the underlying investments after payment of the contractual payments to senior debt holders and CLO expenses. The current estimated yield, calculated using amortized cost, is based on the current projections of this excess cash flow taking into account assumptions which have been made regarding expected prepayments, losses and future reinvestment rates. These assumptions are periodically reviewed and adjusted. Ultimately, the actual yield may be higher or lower than the estimated yield if actual results differ from those used for the assumptions.
(3) Fair value is determined by or under the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2021, all of the Company’s investments were classified as Level 3. ASC 820 classifies such unobservable inputs used to measure fair value as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. See Notes 2 and 3 within the accompanying notes to financial statements for further discussion.
(4) The interest rate on these investments is subject to the base rate of 3-Month LIBOR, which was 0.21438% at December 31, 2021. The current base rate for each investment may be different from the reference rate on December 31, 2021.
(5) Restricted securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined by the Board of Directors. Unless otherwise noted, all of the Company's investments are deemed to be restricted securities.
(6) The effective yield has been estimated to be 0% as expected future cash flows are anticipated to not be sufficient to repay the investment at cost. If the expected investment proceeds increase, there is a potential for future investment income from the investment. Distributions, once received, will be recognized as return of capital, and when called, any remaining unamortized investment costs will be written off if the actual distributions are less than the amortized investment cost. To the extent that the cost basis of the senior secured notes is fully recovered, any future distributions will be recorded as realized gains.
(7) Security was called for redemption and the liquidation of the underlying loan portfolio is ongoing.
(8) This investment has contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. PIK interest computed at the contractual rate is accrued into income and reflected as receivable up to the capitalization date.
See accompanying notes to financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
December 31, 2021

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
Priority Income Fund, Inc., (the “Company,” “us,” “our,” or “we”) was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on July 19, 2012 as an externally managed, nondiversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and commenced operations on May 9, 2013. In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income, and as a secondary objective, long-term capital appreciation. We seek to achieve our investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, in senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in limited circumstances, unrated (“Senior Secured Loans”) with an emphasis on current income. Our investments may take the form of the purchase of Senior Secured Loans (either in the primary or secondary markets) or through investments in the equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) vehicles that in turn own pools of Senior Secured Loans. The Company intends to invest in both the primary and secondary markets.

The Company is managed by Priority Senior Secured Income Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), which is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Adviser is 50% owned by Prospect Capital Management, L.P. (“PCM”) and 50% by Stratera Holdings, LLC (“Stratera Holdings”).

The Company is offering up to 100,000,000 shares of its common stock, on a best efforts basis. The Company commenced the offering on May 9, 2013, at an initial offering price of $15.00 per share, for an initial offering period of 36 months from the date of the commencement of the offering. On January 6, 2014, the Company satisfied its minimum offering requirement by raising over $2.5 million from selling shares to persons not affiliated with the Company or the Adviser (the “Minimum Offering Requirement”), and as a result, broke escrow and commenced making investments.

On February 9, 2016 the Company’s Board of Directors the (the “Board”) approved an 18-month extension to the offering period for the sale of the Company’s common shares through November 9, 2017. Subsequently, on May 30, 2017, the Board approved a continuation of this offering for an additional two years, extending the offering period for the sale of shares through November 2, 2019. On November 25, 2019, the Board approved an additional 18-month continuous public offering period through July 23, 2021. On April 30, 2021, due to the widespread impact of COVID-19 on the economy and financial markets, the Board approved a continuation of this offering until the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2022 or (ii) the date upon which 150,000,000 common shares have been sold in the course of the offerings of the Company's common shares, unless further extended by our Board.

On December 21, 2018 the Board approved a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, to acquire Stira Alcentra Global Credit Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (“Stira Alcentra”), in a common stock transaction (the “Stira Alcentra Acquisition”). In connection with the Merger, the Company also entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”), with Stira Capital Markets Group, LLC (“SCMG”), the dealer-manager of Stira Alcentra. The transaction was treated as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The transaction was completed on May 10, 2019.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form N-CSR, ASC 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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 income, expenses and gains (losses) during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.

Cash
Cash held at financial institutions, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limit.

Investment Risks
Our investments are subject to a variety of risks. Those risks include the following:

Market Risk
Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the fair value of the financial instrument.

Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the risk that we would incur if the counterparties failed to perform pursuant to the terms of their agreements with us.

Credit Spread Risk
Credit spreads risk represents the risk that with higher interest rates comes a higher risk of defaults.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk represents the possibility that we may not be able to rapidly adjust the size of our investment positions in times of high volatility and financial stress at a reasonable price.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk represents a change in interest rates, which could result in an adverse change in the fair value of an interest-bearing financial instrument.

Prepayment Risk
Many of our debt investments allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Downward changes in interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a faster than expected rate, thereby effectively shortening the maturity of the security and making us less likely to fully earn all of the expected income of that security and reinvesting in a lower yielding instrument.

Downgrade Risk
Downgrade risk results when rating agencies lower their rating on a bond which are usually accompanied by bond price declines.

Default Risk
Default risk is the risk that a borrower will be unable to make the required payments on their debt obligation.

Structured Credit Related Risk
CLO investments may be riskier and less transparent to us than direct investments in underlying companies. CLOs typically will have no significant assets other than their underlying senior secured loans. Therefore, payments on CLO investments are and will be payable solely from the cash flows from such senior secured loans.    
                        
Impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic    
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on the global economy, including the U.S. economy, and has resulted in a global economic recession.



2022 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            21                             


COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and, in response to the outbreak, the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary declared a public health emergency in the United States. COVID-19 had a devastating impact on the global economy, including the U.S. economy, and resulted in a global economic recession. Many states issued orders requiring the closure of non-essential businesses and/or requiring residents to stay at home. The COVID-19 pandemic and preventative measures taken to contain or mitigate its spread have caused, and are continuing to cause, business shutdowns, cancellations of events and travel, significant reductions in demand for certain goods and services, reductions in business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability both globally and in the United States. Such effects will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and for some period thereafter. While several countries, as well as certain states, counties and cities in the United States, began to relax the early public health restrictions with a view to partially or fully reopening their economies, many cities, both globally and in the United States, continue to experience, from time to time, surges in the reported number of cases and hospitalizations related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Increases in cases can and have led to the re-introduction of such restrictions in certain states in the United States and globally and could continue to lead to the re-introduction of such restrictions elsewhere. Additionally, the vaccine produced by Johnson & Johnson is currently authorized for emergency use, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has granted full approval to the vaccines produced by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, which will now be marketed as Comirnaty and Spikevax, respectively. However, it remains unclear how quickly the vaccines will be distributed nationwide and globally or when “herd immunity” will be achieved and the restrictions that were imposed to slow the spread of the virus will be lifted entirely. Various factors could lead people to continue to self-isolate and not participate in the economy at pre-pandemic levels for a prolonged period of time. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy and most other major global economies may continue to experience a substantial economic downturn or recession, and our business and operations, as well as the business and operations of our CLO investments, could be materially adversely affected by a prolonged economic downturn or recession in the United States and other major markets.

The COVID-19 pandemic (including the preventative measures taken in response thereto) has to date (i) created significant business disruption issues for certain of our CLO investments, and (ii) materially and adversely impacted the value and performance of certain of our CLO investments. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a particularly adverse impact on industries in which certain of our CLO investments operate, including energy, hospitality, travel, retail and restaurants. Certain of our CLO investments in other industries have also been significantly impacted. The COVID-19 pandemic is continuing as of the filing date of this Semi-Annual Report, and its extended duration may have further adverse impacts on our CLO investments after December 31, 2021, including for the reasons described herein.
As a management investment company, we are required to carry our investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Depending on market conditions, we could incur substantial losses in future periods, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Although it is difficult to predict the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the underlying CLO vehicles we invest in, CLO vehicles in which we invest may fail to satisfy certain financial covenants, including with respect to adequate collateralization and/or interest coverage tests. Such failure could cause the assets of the CLO vehicle to not receive full par credit for purposes of calculation of the CLO vehicle’s overcollateralization tests and as a consequence, may lead to a reduction in such CLO vehicle’s payments to us, because holders of debt senior to us may be entitled to additional payments that would, in turn, reduce the payments we would otherwise be entitled to. Separately, we may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting CLO vehicle or any other investment we may make. If any of these occur, it could materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the fair value of some of our investments as of December 31, 2021, and the values assigned as of this date may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize with respect to our investments. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may not yet be fully reflected in the valuation of our investments as our valuations are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and are often based on estimates, comparisons and qualitative evaluations of private information that is often from a time period earlier, generally two to three months, than the quarter for which we are reporting. As a result, our valuations at December 31, 2021 may not show the complete or continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting measures taken in response thereto. In addition, write downs in the value of some of our investments have reduced, and any additional write downs may further reduce, our net asset value (and, as a result, our asset coverage calculation). Accordingly, we may incur net unrealized losses or may incur realized losses after December 31, 2021, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Investment Valuation
The Company follows guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), which classifies the inputs used to measure fair values into the following hierarchy:



2022 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            22                             


Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities on an inactive market, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations and are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

U.S. government securities for which market quotations are available are valued at a price provided by an independent pricing agent or primary dealer. The pricing agent or primary dealer provides these prices usually after evaluating inputs including yield curves, credit rating, yield spreads, default rates, cash flows, broker quotes and reported trades. U.S. government securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, the Board has approved a multi-step valuation process for each quarter, as described below, and such investments are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:

1.Each portfolio investment is reviewed by investment professionals of the Adviser with the independent valuation firm engaged by the Board.
2.The independent valuation firm prepares independent valuations based on its own independent assessments and issue its report.
3.The Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) reviews and discusses with the independent valuation firm the valuation report, and then makes a recommendation to the Board of the value for each investment.
4.The Board discusses valuations and determines the fair value of such investments in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Adviser, the respective independent valuation firm and the Audit Committee.

The Company's investments in CLOs are classified as Level 3 fair value measured securities under ASC 820 and are valued using both a discounted single-path cash flow model and a discounted multi-path cash flow model. The CLO structures are analyzed to identify the risk exposures and to determine an appropriate call date (i.e., expected maturity). These risk factors are sensitized in the multi-path cash flow model using Monte Carlo simulations, which is a simulation used to model the probability of different outcomes, to generate probability-weighted (i.e., multi-path) cash flows from the underlying assets and liabilities.  These cash flows, after payments to debt tranches senior to our equity positions, are discounted using appropriate market discount rates, and relevant data in the CLO market as well as certain benchmark credit indices are considered, to determine the value of each CLO investment.  In addition, we generate a single-path cash flow utilizing our best estimate of expected cash receipts, and assess the reasonableness of the implied discount rate that would be effective for the value derived from the multi-path cash flows.  We are not responsible for and have no influence over the asset management of the portfolios underlying the CLO investments we hold, as those portfolios are managed by non-affiliated third party CLO collateral managers. The main risk factors are default risk, prepayment risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk.

The types of factors that are taken into account in fair value determination include, as relevant, market changes in expected returns for similar investments, performance improvement or deterioration, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the issuer’s ability to make payments and its earnings and cash flows, the markets in which the issuer does business, comparisons to traded securities, and other relevant factors.

Valuation of Other Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, specifically ASC 825-10-25, permits an entity to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the "Fair Value Option"). We have not elected the Fair Value Option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities. See Notes 11 and 12 for the disclosures of the fair value of our outstanding debt and the market observable inputs used in determining fair value.

Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains or losses on investments are calculated by using the specific identification method.

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income - Equity Class
Interest income from investments in the “equity” positions of CLOs (typically income notes, subordinated notes or preferred shares) is recorded based on an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed future cash flows. The Company monitors the expected cash inflows from CLO equity investments, including the expected residual payments, and the estimated effective yield is updated periodically.

Interest Income - Debt Class
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis using the contractual rate applicable to each debt investment and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. Generally, if the Company does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will, on a discretionary basis, place the debt instrument on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company generally restores non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the Fund’s judgment, the payments are likely to remain current. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no non-accrual investments in its portfolio.

Paid-In-Kind Interest
The Company has certain investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision, which represents contractual interest or dividends that are added to the principal balance and recorded as income. For the six months ended December 31, 2021, PIK interest included in interest income totaled $289,194. The Company stops accruing PIK interest when it is determined that PIK interest is no longer collectible. To maintain RIC tax treatment, and to avoid corporate tax, substantially all of this income must be paid out to the stockholders in the form of distributions, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash.

Preferred Stock
The Company carries its Term Preferred Stock (as defined in “Note 7. Preferred Stock”) at accreted cost on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and not fair value. Refer to “Note 7.Preferred Stock” for further details. In accordance with ASC 480-10-25, the Company's Term Preferred Stock has been classified as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends on its Term Preferred Stock (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are accrued monthly and paid quarterly. Unpaid dividends relating to the Term Preferred Stock are included in preferred dividend payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and preferred dividend expense on the Statement of Operations. Deferred offering costs and deferred issuance costs are amortized and are included in Preferred dividend expense on the Statement of Operations over the term of the respective shares.

In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the Company’s Cumulative Preferred Stock (as defined in “Note 7. Preferred Stock”) has been classified in temporary equity on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is recorded net of offering costs and issuance costs. Unpaid dividend relating to the Cumulative Preferred Stock are included in cumulative preferred shares on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends declared on the Cumulative Preferred Stock are included in dividends declared on Cumulative Preferred Stock on the Statement of Operations. Dividends on Cumulative Preferred Stock are accrued monthly and paid quarterly. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not adjusted to its redemption amount as it is not probable it will be redeemed as it has not reached its optional redemption date.

Asset Coverage Requirement
As a registered closed-end investment company, the Company is required to comply with the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not issue additional preferred stock if immediately after such issuance the Company will not have an asset coverage of at least 200% (defined as the ratio of the Company’s gross assets (less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities) to its outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness, plus the aggregate involuntary liquidation preference of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock). If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy this test. If that happens, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our indebtedness or redeem outstanding shares of preferred stock, in each case at a time when doing so may be disadvantageous. Also, any amounts that we use to service our indebtedness or preferred dividends


2022 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            24                             


would not be available for distributions to our preferred stockholders. Further, the Company may be restricted from making distributions to holders of the Company’s common stock if the Company does not have asset coverage of at least 200%. As a result of issuing senior securities, we would also be exposed to typical risks associated with leverage, including an increased risk of loss.

With respect to senior securities representing indebtedness, such as the senior unsecured notes or any bank borrowings (other than temporary borrowings as defined under the 1940 Act), the Company is required to have asset coverage of at least 300%, immediately after such issuance or borrowing, and calculated as the ratio of the Company’s gross assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Company’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness.

Common Stock Offering Costs
Common stock offering costs are capitalized to Deferred common stock offering costs on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized to expense over the 12 month period following such capitalization on a straight line basis.

Common stock offering expenses consist of costs for the registration, certain marketing and distribution of the Company’s common shares. These expenses include, but are not limited to, expenses for legal, accounting, printing and certain marketing, and include salaries and direct expenses of the Adviser’s employees, employees of its affiliates and others for providing these services.

Due to Adviser
Amounts due to our Adviser consist of expense support repayments, base management fees, incentive fees, routine non-compensation overhead, and operating expenses and offering expenses paid on behalf of the Company. All balances due to the Adviser are settled quarterly.

Deferred Issuance Costs on Term Preferred Stock
Preferred issuance costs on term preferred stock consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of preferred stock offerings, and are capitalized at the time of payment. These costs are amortized using the effective yield method over the term of the respective preferred stock series. This amortization expense is included in interest expense in the Fund’s financial statements. Upon early termination of preferred stock, the remaining balance of unamortized fees related to such debt is accelerated into realized loss on redemption of term preferred stock on the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends and distributions to common stockholders, which are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, are recorded on the record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend or distribution is approved by the Board. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed or deemed distributed at least annually.

Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes and intends to comply with the requirement of the Code applicable to RICs. In order to continue to qualify for RIC tax treatment among other things, the Company is required to timely distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (the “Annual Distribution Requirement”) and intends to distribute all of the Company’s investment company taxable income and net capital gain to common stockholders; therefore, the Company has made no provision for income taxes. The character of income and gains that the Company will distribute is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from U.S. GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified to paid-in capital.

As of December 31, 2021, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $713,235,530 resulting in estimated gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of $103,612,230 and $(40,378,873), respectively.

If the Company does not distribute (or is not deemed to have distributed) at least (1) 98% of its calendar year ordinary income; (2) 98.2% of its capital gains for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year; and (3) any ordinary net income and capital gains net income recognized in preceding years, but were not distributed during such years, and on which the Company paid no corporate-level U.S. federal income tax, the Company will generally be required to pay a nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax equal to 4% of such excess amounts. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current calendar year taxable income will be in excess of estimated current calendar year dividend distributions from such taxable income, the Company accrues excise taxes, if any, on estimated excess taxable income. As of and for the calendar year ended December 31, 2021, we determined that the Company met the distribution requirements and therefore was not required to pay


2022 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            25                             


excise tax. Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, we do not expect to have any excise tax due for 2021 calendar year. Thus, we have not accrued any excise tax for this period.

If the Company fails to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement or otherwise fails to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, the Company would be subject to tax on all of its taxable income at regular corporate rates. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions to common stockholders, nor would the Company be required to make distributions. Distributions would generally be taxable to the Company’s individual and other non-corporate taxable common stockholders as ordinary dividend income eligible for the reduced maximum rate applicable to qualified dividend income to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, provided certain holding period and other requirements are met. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributions would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. To qualify again to be taxed as a RIC in a subsequent year, the Company would be required to distribute to its common stockholders the Company’s accumulated earnings and profits attributable to non-RIC years reduced by an interest charge of 50% of such earnings and profits payable by us as an additional tax. In addition, if the Company failed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, then, in order to qualify as a RIC in a subsequent year, the Company would be required to elect to recognize and pay tax on any net built-in gain (the excess of aggregate gain, including items of income, over aggregate loss that would have been realized if the Company had been liquidated) or, alternatively, be subject to taxation on such built-in gain recognized for a period of five years.

The Company follows ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. As of December 31, 2021 and for the six months ended, the Company did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. Management has analyzed the Company’s positions taken and expected to be taken on its income tax returns for all open tax years and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2021, no provision for uncertain tax position is required in the Company’s financial statements. Our determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. All federal and state income tax returns for each tax year in the three-year period ended June 30, 2021 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The standard is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the optional guidance on the Company's financial statements and disclosures. The Company did not utilize the optional expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 during the six months ended December 31, 2021.

Note 3. Portfolio Investments
Purchases of investment securities (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended December 31, 2021 were $91,087,390. During the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized realized losses of $8,524,902 from three investments which have been called.

(1) Excludes investments that have been called for redemption.
(2) Represents the implied discount rate based on our internally generated single-path cash flows that are derived from the fair value estimated by the corresponding multi-path cash flow model utilized by the independent valuation firm.
In determining the range of values for our investments in CLOs, the independent valuation firm uses a discounted multi-path cash flow model. The valuations were accomplished through the analysis of the CLO deal structures to identify the risk exposures from the modeling point of view as well as to determine an appropriate call date (i.e., expected maturity). These risk factors are sensitized in the multi-path cash flow model using Monte Carlo simulations to generate probability-weighted (i.e., multi-path) cash flows for the underlying assets and liabilities. These cash flows are discounted using appropriate market discount rates, and relevant data in the CLO market and certain benchmark credit indices are considered, to determine the value of each CLO investment. In addition, we generate a single-path cash flow utilizing our best estimate of expected cash receipts, and assess the reasonableness of the implied discount rate that would be effective for the value derived from the corresponding multi-path cash flow model.

The significant unobservable input used to value the CLOs is the discount rate applied to the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which includes both future principal and interest payments. Included in the consideration and selection of the discount rate are the following factors: risk of default, comparable investments, and call provisions. An increase or decrease in the discount rate applied to projected cash flows, where all other inputs remain constant, would result in a decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value measurement.

The Company is not responsible for and has no influence over the management of the portfolios underlying the CLO investments the Company holds as those portfolios are managed by non-affiliated third party CLO collateral managers. CLO investments may be riskier and less transparent to the Company than direct investments in underlying companies. CLOs typically will have no significant assets other than their underlying senior secured loans. Therefore, payments on CLO investments are and will be payable solely from the cash flows from such senior secured loans. 



2022 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            27                             


The Company’s portfolio primarily consists of residual interests investments in CLOs, which involve a number of significant risks. CLOs are typically highly levered (10 - 14 times), and therefore the residual interest tranches that the Company invests in are subject to a higher degree of risk of total loss. In particular, investors in CLO residual interests indirectly bear risks of the underlying loan investments held by such CLOs. The Company generally has the right to receive payments only from the CLOs, and generally do not have direct rights against the underlying borrowers or the entity that sponsored the CLO. While the CLOs the Company targets generally enable the investor to acquire interests in a pool of senior loans without the expenses associated with directly holding the same investments, the Company’s prices of indices and securities underlying CLOs will rise or fall. These prices (and, therefore, the values of the CLOs) will be influenced by the same types of political and economic events that affect issuers of securities and capital markets generally. The failure by a CLO investment in which the Company invests to satisfy financial covenants, including with respect to adequate collateralization and/or interest coverage tests, could lead to reductions in its payments to the Company. In the event that a CLO fails certain tests, holders of debt senior to the Company may be entitled to additional payments that would, in turn, reduce the payments the Company would otherwise be entitled to receive. Separately, the Company may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting CLO or any other investment the Company may make. If any of these occur, it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s operating results and cash flows.

The interests the Company has acquired in CLOs are generally thinly traded or have only a limited trading market. CLOs are typically privately offered and sold, even in the secondary market. As a result, investments in CLOs may be characterized as illiquid securities. In addition to the general risks associated with investing in debt securities, CLO residual interests carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) the fact that the Company’s investments in CLO tranches will likely be subordinate to other senior classes of note tranches thereof; and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the CLO investment or unexpected investment results. The Company’s net asset value may also decline over time if the Company’s principal recovery with respect to CLO residual interests is less than the price that the Company paid for those investments. The Company’s CLO investments and/or the underlying senior secured loans may prepay more quickly than expected, which could have an adverse impact on its value.

An increase in LIBOR would materially increase the CLO’s financing costs. Since most of the collateral positions within the CLOs have LIBOR floors, there may not be corresponding increases in investment income (if LIBOR increases but stays below the LIBOR floor rate of such investments) resulting in materially smaller distribution payments to the residual interest investors.

On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that it will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the LIBOR rates after 2021 (the “FCA Announcement”). In addition, on March 25, 2020, the FCA stated that although the central assumption that firms cannot rely on LIBOR being published after the end of 2021 has not changed, the outbreak of the COVID-19 has impacted the timing of many firms' transition planning, and the FCA will continue to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on transition timelines and update the marketplace as soon as possible. Central banks and regulators in a number of major jurisdictions (for example, the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Switzerland and Japan) have convened working groups to find, and implement the transition to, suitable replacements for IBORs. To identify a successor rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR, the ARRC, a U.S.-based group convened by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was formed. The ARRC has identified SOFR as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. SOFR is a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and is based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase transactions. On July 29, 2021, the ARRC formally recommended SOFR as its preferred alternative replacement rate for LIBOR. Although SOFR appears to be the preferred replacement rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR, at this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of any such changes, any establishment of alternative reference rates or other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United States, United Kingdom or elsewhere or, whether the COVID-19 will have further effect on LIBOR transition plans. The elimination of LIBOR or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any LIBOR-linked securities, loans, and other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to us or on our overall financial condition or results of operations.

At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of the FCA Announcement or other regulatory changes or announcements, any establishment of any alternative reference rates, including SOFR and its market acceptance, or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United Kingdom, the United States or elsewhere. As such, the potential effect of any such event on our net investment income cannot yet be determined. The CLOs in which the Company is invested generally contemplate a scenario where LIBOR is no longer available by requiring the CLO administrator to calculate a replacement rate primarily through dealer polling on the applicable measurement date. However, there is uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of the dealer polling processes, including the willingness of banks to provide such quotations, which could adversely impact our net

investment income. Recently, the CLOs we are invested in have included, or have been amended to include, language permitting the CLO investment manager to implement a market replacement rate (like SOFR) upon the occurrence of certain material disruption events. However, we cannot ensure that all CLOs in which we are invested will have such provisions, nor can we ensure the CLO investment managers will undertake the suggested amendments when able. In addition, the effect of a phase out of LIBOR on U.S. senior secured loans, the underlying assets of the CLOs in which we invest, is currently unclear. To the extent that any replacement rate utilized for senior secured loans differs from that utilized for a CLO that holds those loans, the CLO would experience an interest rate mismatch between its assets and liabilities which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s net investment income and portfolio returns.

If the Company owns more than 10% of the shares in a foreign corporation that is treated as a CFC (including residual interest tranche investments in a CLO investment treated as a CFC), for which the Company is treated as receiving a deemed distribution (taxable as ordinary income) each year from such foreign corporation in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the corporation’s income for the tax year (including both ordinary earnings and capital gains), the Company is required to include such deemed distributions from a CFC in its income and the Company is required to distribute such income to maintain its RIC tax treatment regardless of whether or not the CFC makes an actual distribution during such year.

The Company owns shares in PFICs (including residual interest tranche investments in CLOs that are PFICs), therefore the Company may be subject to federal income tax on a portion of any “excess distribution” or gain from the disposition of such shares even if such income is distributed as a taxable dividend to its common stockholders. Certain elections may be available to mitigate or eliminate such tax on excess distributions, but such elections (if available) will generally require the Company to recognize its share of the PFICs income for each year regardless of whether the Company receives any distributions from such PFICs. The Company must nonetheless distribute at least 90% of such income to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC.

If the Company is required to include amounts in income prior to receiving distributions representing such income, the Company may have to sell some of its investments at times and/or at prices management would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or forgo new investment opportunities for this purpose. If the Company is not able to obtain cash from other sources, it may fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.

The Company’s portfolio is concentrated in CLO vehicles, which is subject to a risk of loss if that sector experiences a market downturn. The Company is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Company’s maximum risk of loss from credit risk for its portfolio investments is the inability of the CLO collateral managers to return up to the cost value due to defaults occurring in the underlying loans of the CLOs.

Investments in CLO residual interests generally offer less liquidity than other investment grade or high-yield corporate debt, and may be subject to certain transfer restrictions. The Company’s ability to sell certain investments quickly in response to changes in economic and other conditions and to receive a fair price when selling such investments may be limited, which could prevent the Company from making sales to mitigate losses on such investments. In addition, CLOs are subject to the possibility of liquidation upon an event of default of certain minimum required coverage ratios, which could result in full loss of value to the CLO residual interests and junior debt investors.

The fair value of the Company’s investments may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates. The Company’s investments in senior secured loans through CLOs are sensitive to interest rate levels and volatility. In the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, loan defaults may increase and result in credit losses which may adversely affect the Company’s cash flow, fair value of its investments and operating results. In the event of a declining interest rate environment, a faster than anticipated rate of prepayments is likely to result in a lower than anticipated yield.

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. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the currently assigned valuations.

Note 4. Capital
The Company offers its shares of common stock with varying up-front sales loads and has elected to designate each level of sales load as a “class” solely as a means of identifying those differing sales loads and the different channels through which shares are sold. Shares available to the general public are charged selling commissions and dealer manager fees and are referred to as “Class R Shares”. Shares available to accounts managed by registered investment advisers are charged dealer manager fees but no selling commissions and are referred to as “Class RIA Shares”. Shares available for purchase through (1) fee-based programs, also known as wrap accounts, of investment dealers, (2) participating broker-dealers that have alternative fee arrangements with their clients, (3) certain registered investment advisors or (4) bank trust departments or any other organization or person authorized to act in a fiduciary capacity for its clients or customers are charged no selling commissions or dealer manager fees and are referred to as “Class I Shares.” Although the Company uses “Class” designations to indicate its differing sales load structures, the Company does not operate as a multi-class fund.

The Company’s authorized stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of stock, par value $0.01 per share, 50,000,000 of which are classified as Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, or “Preferred Stock” and 150,000,000 of which are classified as common stock. All shares of common stock have identical voting and distributions rights, and bear their own pro rata portion of the Company’s expenses and have the same net asset value.

Transactions in shares of common stock were as follows during the six months ended December 31, 2021 and the year ended June 30, 2021:

Share Repurchase Program
The Company conducts quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company’s Board considers the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause us to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:
the effect of such repurchases on our qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);
the liquidity of the Company’s assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);
the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements;
the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company’s size;
the Company’s history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof; and
the condition of the securities markets.
The Company limits the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to 20% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 5% in each quarter, though the actual number of shares that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted below. At the discretion of the Company’s Board, the Company may use cash on hand, and cash from the sale of investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. In addition

to the limit above, the Company further limits the shares it offers to repurchase to the number of shares it can repurchase with the cash that it retains as a result of issuing shares through the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan to those shareholders who have elected to receive their distributions in the form of additional shares rather than in cash. The Company will offer to repurchase such shares at a price equal to the net asset value per share of our common stock specified in the tender offer. The Company’s Board may suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. The first such tender offer commenced in May 2015.

The following table sets forth the number of common shares that were repurchased by the Company in each tender offer:

Note 5. Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Advisory Agreement
On May 9, 2013, the Company entered into an initial investment advisory agreement with the Adviser (the "Prior Advisory Agreement"). On May 30, 2019, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which stockholders voted to approve a new investment advisory agreement with the Adviser that is identical in all respects except for the date of effectiveness and the term to the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, which had terminated as a result of a technical “change in control” and “assignment” as such terms are defined under the 1940 Act. The Adviser manages the day-to-day investment operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. For providing these services, the Adviser is paid a base management fee and an incentive fee. The base management fee, payable quarterly in arrears, is calculated at an annual rate of 2.0% based on the average of the total assets as of the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The Company also pays routine non-compensation overhead expenses of the Adviser in an amount up to 0.0625% per quarter (0.25% annualized) of the Company’s average total assets. The incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding quarter. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees received) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses reimbursed under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the administration agreement and the investor services agreement, any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the organization and offering expenses and incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to the preferred return rate of 1.5% per quarter (6.0% annualized). The Company pays the Adviser an incentive fee with respect to its pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the preferred return rate; (2) 100% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the preferred return rate but is less than 1.875% in any calendar quarter (7.5% annualized); and (3) 20.0% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 1.875% in any calendar quarter. These calculations are appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months.

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, expenses incurred by the Company and the payable amount remaining at December 31, 2021 in connection with the Investment Advisory Agreement were as follows:
DescriptionExpensePayable
Base management fee(1)

(1) The payable amount is presented as part of the Due to Adviser line item on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(2) The payable amount is presented as part of the Due to Adviser line item on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the expense amount is presented as Adviser shared service expense on the Statement of Operations.

Administration Agreement
On May 9, 2013, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with Prospect Administration LLC (the “Administrator”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Administrator performs, oversees and arranges for the performance of administrative services necessary for the operation of the Company. These services include, but are not limited to, accounting, finance, legal services and offerings of the Company’s debt, common stock and other securities. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Company reimburses the Administrator for the Company’s actual and allocable portion of expenses and overhead incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and the Company’s allocable portion of the costs of its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and her staff. During the six months ended December 31, 2021, $1,173,523 in administrator costs were incurred by the Company, $1,298,788 of which is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a payable under the Due to administrator line item.

Commissions and fees on shares of common stock sold
During the period from July 1, 2019 to November 2, 2019, Provasi Securities, LP (the “ Former Dealer Manager”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Stratera Holdings, acted as dealer manager for the offering and managed a group of participating broker-dealers, including other unaffiliated broker-dealers who enter into participating broker-dealer agreements with the Dealer Manager. The Company had agreed to pay the Former Dealer Manager selling commissions in the amount of 6.0% of the selling price of each share of common stock designated as “Class R” for which a sale was completed from the shares offered in the offering. As compensation for acting as the Former Dealer Manager, the Company had agreed to pay the Former Dealer Manager a dealer manager fee in the amount of 2.0% of the selling price of each share of common stock designated as “Class R” or “Class RIA” for which a sale was completed. The Dealer Manager was expected to re-allow the full amount of selling commissions to participating broker-dealers and was permitted to re-allow up to 1.15% of the dealer manager fee to participating broker-dealers for reimbursement of marketing expenses.

On December 5, 2019, we announced that Preferred Capital Securities, LLC (“PCS” or “Dealer Manager”), a broker dealer and wholesale distributor, would become the dealer manager for an 18-month follow-on common stock offering upon the effectiveness of our common share registration statement. On February 6, 2020, we filed a definitive prospectus with the SEC pursuant to which, through our Dealer Manager, we are offering up to 71,620,877 shares of our common stock for a period of up to eighteen months, unless otherwise extended. PCS replaced Provasi Securities, LP as the Fund's Dealer Manager for its continuous offering of common stock. PCS charges selling commissions of 6.0% and dealer manager fees of 0.75%, payable upon a purchase of “Class R” shares.

During the six months ended December 31, 2021, the total sales load incurred through the offering of our common stock was $2,601,958, which includes $2,265,733 of selling commissions and $336,225 of dealer manager fees. These fees are charged against additional paid-in capital on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Common Stock Offering Costs
The Adviser, on behalf of the Company, paid or incurred common stock offering costs totaling $467,844 for the six months ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, $436,967 remains as a deferred asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, while $241,779 has been amortized to expense on the Statement of Operations during the six months ended December 31, 2021 .

Common stock offering expenses consist of costs for the registration, certain marketing activities and distribution of the Company’s common shares. These expenses include, but are not limited to, expenses for legal, accounting, printing and certain marketing activities, and include salaries and direct expenses of the Adviser’s employees, employees of its affiliates and others for providing these services.

At December 31, 2021, the total due to the Adviser for organization and common stock offering costs and operating expenses paid on behalf of the Company was $72,165, which is included within the Due to Adviser line item on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and is broken out as follows:

Upon achieving the Minimum Offering Requirement, the Adviser was entitled to receive up to 5.0% of the gross proceeds from the offering as reimbursement for organization and common stock offering costs that it has funded, until all of the organization and common stock offering costs incurred and/or paid by the Adviser have been recovered. On January 8, 2014, the Adviser agreed to reduce such reimbursement and accept a maximum of 2% of the gross proceeds of the offering of the Company’s securities until all of the organization and common stock offering costs incurred and/or paid by the Adviser have been recovered.

Co-Investments
On January 13, 2020, the parent company of the Adviser received an exemptive order from the SEC (the “Order”), which superseded a prior co-investment exemptive order granted on February 10, 2014, granting the parent company the ability to negotiate terms other than price and quantity of co-investment transactions with other funds managed by the Adviser or certain affiliates, including Prospect Capital Corporation (“PSEC”), Prospect Sustainable Income Fund, Inc. (“PSIF”) and NGL Subsidiary Ltd. (“NGL”), where co-investing would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act, subject to the conditions included therein.

Under the terms of the order, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Company’s independent directors must make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and its stockholders and do not involve overreaching of the Company or its stockholders on the part of any person concerned and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and is consistent with the Company’s investment objective and strategies. In certain situations where co-investment with one or more funds managed or owned by the Adviser or its affiliates is not covered by the Order, such as when there is an opportunity to invest in different securities of the same issuer, the personnel of the Adviser or its affiliates will need to decide which fund will proceed with the investment. Such personnel will make these determinations based on policies and procedures, which are designed to reasonably ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among affiliated funds over time and in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Moreover, except in certain circumstances, when relying on the Order, the Company will be unable to invest in any issuer in which one or more funds managed or owned by the Adviser or its affiliates has previously invested.                            

Allocation of Expenses
For CLO investments held by each of the Company, PSEC, PSIF and NGL, the cost of valuation services with regard to such investments is initially borne by the Company, which then allocates to PSEC, PSIF and NGL their proportional share of such expense based on the number of positions held by each entity. During the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred $163,240 in expenses related to valuation services that are attributable to PSEC, PSIF and NGL, of which $96,138 is still owed to the Company.


Officers and Directors
Certain officers and directors of the Company are also officers and directors of the Adviser and its affiliates. For the six months ended December 31, 2021, $93,750 was paid to the independent directors of the Company, which is included as Directors fees on the Statement of Operations. The officers do not receive any direct compensation from the Company.


Note 6. Dividends and Distributions
Dividends from net investment income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which differ from GAAP.

The following tables reflect the distributions per common share that the Company declared and paid or are payable to its common stockholders during the six months ended December 31, 2021.

(a)Total amount per share represents the total distribution rate for the record dates indicated.

The Company may fund its distributions to common stockholders from any sources of funds available, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets. Any capital returned to common stockholders through distributions will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses.

The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to which common stockholders may elect to have the full amount of distributions reinvested in additional shares. Common stockholders will receive distributions in cash unless specifically “opting in” to the distribution reinvestment plan to have cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company. Reinvested distributions will purchase shares at a price equal to 95% of the price that shares are sold in the offering at the closing immediately following the distribution payment date. There will be no selling commissions, dealer manager fees or other sales charges for shares issued under the distribution reinvestment plan. During any period when we are not making a “best-efforts” offering of our shares, the number of shares to be issued to a common stockholder in connection with a distribution reinvestment shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to the common stockholder by the net asset value per common share of the Company, as determined pursuant to procedures adopted by our Board.

The Company issued 642,931 and 1,640,840 shares of its common stock in connection with the distribution reinvestment plan for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and year ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Note 7. Preferred Stock
The Company has authorized 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, at a par value of $0.01 per share, and had 9,775,493 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2021.

At any time on or after the applicable optional redemption date, at the Company’s sole option, the Company may redeem the Term Preferred Stock or Cumulative Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share equal to the sum of the $25 liquidation preference per share plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any, on such Term Preferred Stock or Cumulative Preferred Stock. The Company, with the authorization by the Board, may repurchase any of the Term Preferred Stock or Cumulative Preferred Stock from time to time in the open market after the applicable optional redemption date and effectively extinguish the preferred stock. Further, from time to time (including before the optional redemption date), the Company may repurchase a portion of its preferred stock and is notifying you of such intention as required by applicable securities law.

If the dividends on the preferred stock remain unpaid in an amount equal to two full years’ dividends, the holders of the preferred dividends as a class have the right to elect a majority of the Board of Directors. In general, the holders of the preferred stock and the common shares have equal voting rights of one vote per share, except that the holders of the preferred stock, as a separate class, have the right to elect at least two members of the Board of Directors. The Company is required to maintain certain asset coverage with respect to the preferred stock as defined in the Company’s By-Laws and the 1940 Act.

All Term Preferred Stock and Cumulative Preferred Stock ranks (with respect to the payment of dividends and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) (a) senior to our common stock, (b) on parity with each other series of our preferred stock, and (c) junior to our existing and future secured and unsecured indebtedness.

Note 8. Income Taxes
The information presented in this footnote is based on our most recent tax year ended June 30, 2021.

For income tax purposes, distributions made to shareholders are reported as ordinary income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital, or a combination thereof. The expected tax character of distributions declared and paid to common shareholders during the year ended June 30, 2021 was as follows:
Year ended June 30, 2021
Ordinary income$20,598,582 
Return of capital23,287,387 
Capital gain— 
Total dividends declared and paid to common shareholders$43,885,969 

However, the final determination of the tax character of dividends between ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ending June 30, 2021. The expected tax character of distributions declared and paid to preferred stock shareholders during the years ended June 30, 2021 was as follows:
Year ended June 30, 2021
Ordinary income$6,055,383 
Return of capital5,636,136 
Capital gain— 
Total dividends declared and paid to preferred shareholders$11,691,519 
However, the final determination of the tax character of dividends between ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ending June 30, 2021. The estimated tax character of dividends paid to the Company's common stock shareholders during the six months ended December 31, 2021 is expected to be as follows:
Six months ended December 31, 2021
Ordinary income26,275,640 
Return of capital— 
Capital gain— 
Total dividends declared and paid to preferred shareholders$26,275,640 
However, the final determination of the tax character of dividends between ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ending June 30, 2022.
The estimated tax character of dividends paid to the Company's preferred stock shareholders during the six months ended December 31, 2021 is expected to be as follows:


2022 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            39                             


Six months ended December 31, 2021
Ordinary income$7,906,828 
Return of capital— 
Capital gain— 
Total dividends declared and paid to preferred shareholders$7,906,828 
However, the final determination of the tax character of dividends between ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ending June 30, 2022. Under IRC Section 163(j), a RIC is permitted to designate distributions attributable to net business interest income as section 163(j) interest dividends. For the 2021 calendar year 18.00% of our taxable ordinary dividends as of December 31, 2021 qualified as section 163(j) interest dividends. These percentages are based on the best estimates available at the time of this filing. The final percentages will be determined with the filing of Form 1099-DIV.

While the tax character of distributions paid to common and preferred stock shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2021 are expected to be characterized as ordinary income, capital gain and return of capital, the final determination of the tax character of distributions for this year will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ended June 30, 2021.
As of June 30, 2021, the estimated components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Overdistributed Ordinary Income$(54,978,196)
Temporary Differences$39,291,851 
Net Unrealized Gain on Investments$47,686,376 
Capital Loss Carryforward$(5,368,274)

As a result of the changes in the character of the distributions for the year ended June 30, 2021, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were adjusted from our prior N-CSR filing. Per the prior N-CSR filing, overdistributed ordinary income, temporary differences, net unrealized gain on investments and capital loss carryforward were $(64,831,659), $39,392,473, $57,930,408 and $(5,859,465), respectively.

In general, we may make certain adjustments to the classification of net assets as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, which may include differences in the book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, amortization of offering costs and nondeductible federal excise taxes, among other items. For the year ended June 30, 2021, we increased total distributable earnings by $1,764,629, decreased paid-in capital in excess of par by $3,364,677, and increased accumulated realized gain by $1,600,048.

Capital losses in excess of capital gains earned in a tax year may generally be carried forward and used to offset capital gains, subject to certain limitations. For the tax year ended June 30, 2021, we had capital loss carryforwards of approximately $5,368,274 available for use in later tax years. Per the prior N-CSR filing, the capital loss carryforwards was $5,859,465. The unused balance each year will be carried forward and utilized as gains are realized, subject to limitations. While our ability to utilize losses in the future depends upon a variety of factors that cannot be known in advance, some of the Company’s capital loss carryforwards may become permanently unavailable due to limitations by the Code.

Note 9. Concentration and Credit Risks
Cash held at financial institutions, at times, may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company’s portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of investments in CLO vehicles, which is subject to a risk of loss if that sector experiences a market downturn. The Company is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Company’s maximum risk of loss from credit risk for its portfolio investments is the inability of the CLO collateral managers to return up to the cost value due to loan defaults occurring in the underlying collateral within the CLOs.


Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings and, to the Company’s knowledge, no material legal proceedings are threatened against the Company. From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings


2022 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            40                             


in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

Note 11. Revolving Credit Facility
On December 16, 2019, we entered into a secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The aggregate commitment of the Facility is $25 million and is collateralized by our CLO investments. The Facility matures on June 16, 2023. Prior to December 16, 2020, the Facility bore interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3% subject to a floor of 0.50%. Subsequent to December 16, 2020, the Facility bears interest at the current Prime Rate subject to a 3% floor plus 0.75%. Additionally, the lenders charge a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to either 50 basis points if more than 60% of the credit facility is drawn, or 100 basis points if an amount more than 35% and less than or equal to 60% of the credit facility is drawn, or 150 basis points if an amount less than or equal to 35% of the credit facility is drawn. On May 26, 2021, the aggregate commitment of the Facility increased to $35 million. On December 10, 2021, we extended the maturity on the Facility to March 30, 2024.

The agreement governing our Facility requires us to comply with certain financial and operational covenants. These covenants include restrictions on the level of indebtedness that we are permitted to incur in relation to the value of our assets and a minimum total net asset level that we are required to maintain. As of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with these covenants. As of December 31, 2021, we had $24,800,000 outstanding on our Facility. As of December 31, 2021, the investments used as collateral for the Facility had an aggregate fair value of $776,468,887, which represents 100% of our total investments. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Facility was $24,800,000, the balance outstanding, and is categorized as Level 2 under ASC 820. As permitted by ASC 825-10-25, we have not elected to fair value our Facility on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

In connection with the origination of the Facility, we incurred $846,059 of fees, all of which are being amortized over the term of the facility in accordance with ASC 470-50. As of December 31, 2021, $455,553 remains to be amortized and is reflected as Deferred financing costs on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

During the six months ended December 31, 2021, we recorded $521,978 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs on the Facility as interest expense.

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, the average stated interest rate (i.e., rate in effect plus the spread) was 5.50%. For the six months ended December 31, 2021, average outstanding borrowings for the Facility were $12,319,565.

Note 12. Notes Payable
On January 27, 2020, we issued $15,000,000 principal amount of senior unsecured notes that mature on March 31, 2035 (the “2035 Notes”). The 2035 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per year, payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, beginning March 31, 2020. Total proceeds from the issuance of the 2035 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and issuance costs, were $14,337,103. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the 2035 Notes is $14,563,873 and is categorized as Level 2 under ASC 820 as of December 31, 2021. As permitted by ASC 825-10-25, we have not elected to fair value our 2023 Notes on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of December 31, 2021, $206,413 of debt issuance costs and $436,127 of underwriting discounts that remains to be amortized and are included as a reduction within Notes payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

During the six months ended December 31, 2021, we recorded $502,103 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs on the 2035 Notes as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.

Note 13. Financial Highlights
The following is a schedule of financial highlights for each of the five years ended June 30 and the six months ended December 31, 2021. Although the Company has designated its differing up-front sale loads as different “share classes”, the Company does not operate as a multi-class fund and each share of the Company has the same net asset value, as well as identical voting and distributions rights, and bears its own pro rata portion of the Company’s expenses.

(a) Calculated based on weighted average shares outstanding during the year or period.
(b) The per share data for distributions is the actual amount of distributions paid or payable per share of common stock outstanding during the year or period. Distributions per share are rounded to the nearest $0.01.
(c) The amount shown represents the balancing figure derived from the other figures in the schedule, and is primarily attributable to the accretive effects from the sales of the Company’s shares and the effects of share repurchases during the year or period.
(d) Total return is based upon the change in net asset value per share between the opening and ending net asset values per share during the year and assumes that dividends are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. The computation does not reflect the sales load for any shares. Total return based on market value is not presented since the Company’s common shares are not publicly traded. For periods less than one year, total return is not annualized.
(e) For the years ended June 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016, there were Expense Support Repayments (Reimbursements), net of ($675,148), $1,441,093 and ($4,630,655), respectively.

(f) The amounts reflected for the year ended June 30, 2019 have been updated based on tax information received subsequent to the filing of the annual report on Form N-CSR.
(g) Net investment income per share data and ratios reflect income earned and expenses incurred on assets attributable to preferred shares (as described in Note 7. Preferred Shares). The expense ratios also reflect expenses incurred on assets attributable to preferred shares. Preferred shares are only outstanding for periods after June 27, 2018 and the ratio of preferred dividend expense to average net assets applicable to the common shares for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018 are 3.54%, 2.94%, 1.34% and 0.00%, respectively. The ratio of preferred dividend expense to average net assets applicable to the common shares for the six months ended December 31, 2021 is 1.57%.
(h) Annualized for the six months ended December 31, 2021.

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN
Subject to the Company’s Board of Directors’ discretion and applicable legal restrictions, the Company intends to authorize and declare ordinary cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. The Company have adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to which stockholders may elect to have the full amount of their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares. Any distributions of the Company’s shares pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan are dependent on the continued registration of the Company’s securities or the availability of an exemption from registration in the recipient’s home state. Participants in the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan are free to elect or revoke reinstatement in the distribution plan within a reasonable time as specified in the plan. If stockholders do not elect to participate in the plan, stockholders will automatically receive any distributions the Company declares in cash. For example, if the Company’s Board of Directors authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash distribution, then if stockholders have “opted in” to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan, those stockholders will have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares, rather than receiving cash distributions. During this offering, the Company generally intends to coordinate distribution payment dates so that the same price that is used for the closing date immediately following such distribution payment date will be used to calculate the purchase price for purchasers under the distribution reinvestment plan. In such case, stockholders reinvested distributions will purchase shares at a price equal to 95% of the price that shares are sold in the offering at the closing immediately following the distribution payment date. Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan will have the same voting rights as shares offered pursuant to the prospectus.

If stockholders wish to receive their distribution in cash, no action will be required on their part to do so. If stockholders are a registered stockholder, they may elect to have their entire distribution reinvested in shares by notifying DST Systems, Inc., the reinvestment agent, and the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, in writing so that such notice is received by the reinvestment agent no later than the record date for distributions to stockholders. If stockholders elect to reinvest their distributions in additional shares, the reinvestment agent will set up an account for shares stockholders acquire through the plan and will hold such shares in non-certificated form. If stockholders shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary, stockholders may “opt in” to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

The Company intends to use newly issued shares to implement the plan and determine the number of shares the Company will issue to stockholders as follows:

To the extent the Company’s shares are not listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on an over-the-counter market or a national market system (collectively, an “Exchange”):

during any period when the Company is making a “best-efforts” public offering of the Company’s shares, the number of shares to be issued to stockholders shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to stockholders by a price equal to 95% of the price that the shares are sold in the offering at the closing immediately following the distribution payment date; and
during any period when the Company is not making a “best-efforts” offering of the Company’s shares, the number of shares to be issued to stockholders shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to stockholders by a price equal to the net asset value as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

To the extent the Company’s shares are listed on an Exchange, the number of shares to be issued to stockholders shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to stockholders by the market price per share of the Company’s shares at the close of regular trading on such Exchange on the valuation date fixed by the Company’s Board of Directors for such distribution.

There will be no selling commissions, dealer manager fees or other sales charges to stockholders if they elect to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan. The Company will pay the reinvestment agent’s fees under the plan.

If stockholders receive their ordinary cash distributions in the form of shares, stockholders generally are subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as they would be had they elected to receive their distributions in cash. Stockholders’ basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of shares received in a distribution from the Company will be equal to the total dollar amount of the distribution payable in cash. Any shares received in a distribution will have a holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares are credited to stockholders’ account.
