Notes applicable to the investments presented in the foregoing tables:
Unless otherwise noted, all of the investments in the foregoing tables are in entities that are domiciled in the United States and/or have a principal place of business in the United States.
No investment represents a 5% or greater interest in any outstanding class of voting security of the portfolio company.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, unless otherwise noted, certain of the debt investments and certain of the warrants of TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. (the “Company”), with an aggregate fair value of approximately $293.5 million and $235.2 million, respectively, were pledged for borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
Notes applicable to the debt investments presented in the foregoing tables:
Interest rate is the annual interest rate on the debt investment and does not include any original issue discount, end-of-term (“EOT”) payment, or any additional fees related to the investments, such as deferred interest, commitment fees or prepayment fees.
The EOT payments are contractual and fixed interest payments due in cash at the maturity date of the loan, including upon prepayment, and are a fixed percentage of the original principal balance of the loan unless otherwise noted. The EOT payment is amortized and recognized as non-cash income over the loan or lease prior to its payment.
Some of the terms noted in the foregoing tables are subject to change based on certain events such as prepayments.
Notes applicable to the equipment leases presented in the foregoing tables:
At the end of the term of certain equipment leases, the lessee has the option to purchase the underlying assets at fair market value in certain cases subject to a cap, return the equipment or continue to finance the assets. The fair market values of the financed assets have been estimated as a percentage of original cost for purposes of the EOT payment value.
Notes applicable to the warrants presented in the foregoing tables:
Warrants are associated with funded debt instruments as well as certain commitments to provide future funding.
Specific notes applicable to specific investments in the foregoing tables:

TRIPLEPOINT VENTURE GROWTH BDC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, was formed on June 28, 2013 and priced its initial public offering and commenced investment operations on March 5, 2014. The Company is structured as an externally-managed, non-diversified, closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The Company was formed to expand the venture growth stage business segment of TriplePoint Capital LLC’s (“TPC”) investment platform. TPC is widely recognized as a leading global financing provider devoted to serving venture capital-backed companies with creative, flexible and customized debt financing, equity capital and complementary services throughout their lifespan. The Company’s investment objective is to maximize total return to stockholders primarily in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by primarily lending to venture growth stage companies focused in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries backed by TPC’s select group of leading venture capital investors. The Company is externally managed by TPVG Advisers LLC (the “Adviser”), which is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of TPC. The Adviser is responsible for sourcing, reviewing and structuring investment opportunities, underwriting and performing due diligence on investments and monitoring the investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. The Adviser was organized in August 2013 and, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement entered into between the Company and the Adviser, the Company pays the Adviser a base management fee and an incentive fee for its services. The Company has also entered into an administration agreement with TPVG Administrator LLC (the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser, and pays fees and expenses to the Administrator for administrative services provided to the Company.
The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries: TPVG Variable Funding Company LLC (the “Financing Subsidiary”), a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity established for utilizing the Company’s revolving credit facility, and TPVG Investment LLC, a taxable entity established for holding certain of the Company’s investments in order to permit the Company to hold equity investments in its portfolio companies which are “pass-through” entities for tax purposes. These subsidiaries are consolidated in the financial statements of the Company.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary for the fair representation of financial results as of and for the periods presented. Certain items in the prior period’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications did not impact any prior amounts of reported total assets, total liabilities, net assets or results of operations. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2016. There have been no changes in the significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 3. Related Party Agreements and Transactions
Investment Advisory Agreement
Subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and in accordance with 1940 Act, the Adviser manages the day-to-day operations and provides investment advisory services to the Company pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser:
|
• |
determines the composition of the Company’s portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to the Company’s portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes; |
|
• |
identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments the Company makes; |
|
• |
executes, closes, services and monitors the investments the Company makes; |
|
• |
determines the securities and other assets that the Company purchases, retains or sells; |
|
• |
performs due diligence on prospective investments; and |
|
• |
provides the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds. |
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Adviser a fee for its investment advisory and management services consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee and incentive fee is ultimately borne by the Company’s stockholders.
The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company’s average adjusted gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds. For services rendered under the Advisory Agreement, the base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of its two most recently completed calendar quarters. Such amount is appropriately adjusted (based on the actual number of days elapsed relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter) for any share issuance or repurchases during a calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial month or quarter are appropriately pro-rated.
The incentive fee, which provides the Adviser with a share of the income it generates for the Company, consists of two components—investment income and capital gains—which are largely independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not payable.
Under the investment income component, the Company pays the Adviser 20.0% of the amount by which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the quarter exceeds a hurdle rate of 2.0% (which is 8.0% annualized) of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a “catch-up” provision pursuant to which the Adviser receives all of such income in excess of the 2.0% level but less than 2.5% and subject to a total return requirement. The effect of the “catch-up” provision is that, subject to the total return provision discussed below, if pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter, the Adviser receives 20.0% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income as if the 2.0% hurdle rate did not apply. The foregoing incentive fee is subject to a total return requirement, which provides that no incentive fee in respect of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income is payable except to the extent that 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC. In other words, any investment income incentive fee that is payable in a calendar quarter is limited to the lesser of (i) 20.0% of the amount by which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter exceeds the 2.0% hurdle, subject to the “catch-up” provision and (ii) (x) 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC. For the foregoing purpose, the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” is the sum of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, realized gains and losses and unrealized gains and losses since the effective date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC. The Company elected to be regulated as a BDC on March 5, 2014.
Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized gains, realized losses or unrealized gains or losses. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that the Company may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where it incurs a loss, subject to the total return requirement described in the preceding paragraph. For example, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the quarterly minimum hurdle rate, the Company may pay the applicable incentive fee even if it has incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and unrealized losses subject to the total return requirement. The Company’s net investment
23
income used to calculate this component of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of the Company’s assets used to calculate the 1.75% base management fee. These calculations are appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuance or repurchase during the current quarter.
Under the capital gains component of the incentive fee, the Company pays the Adviser at the end of each calendar year 20.0% of the Company’s aggregate cumulative realized gains from inception through the end of that year, computed net of aggregate cumulative realized losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized losses through the end of such year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. For the foregoing purpose, the Company’s “aggregate cumulative realized capital gains” does not include any unrealized gains. It should be noted that the Company accrues an incentive fee for accounting purposes taking into account any unrealized gains in accordance with GAAP. However, the actual incentive fee payable to the Adviser related to capital gains will be determined and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year and will include only realized capital gains, net of realized and unrealized losses for the period. The capital gains component of the incentive fee is not subject to any minimum return to stockholders. If such amount is negative, then no capital gains incentive fee is payable for such year. Additionally, if the Advisory Agreement is terminated as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date will be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying the capital gains incentive fee.
The base management fee accrued and payable, income incentive fee accrued and payable, and capital gains incentive fee accrued are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and summarized in the table below. The Adviser has agreed to exclude the U.S. Treasury bills acquired at the end of each applicable quarter in the calculation of gross assets for purposes of determining its base management fee. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company did not incur an income incentive fee due to the total return requirement under the income component of the Company’s fee structure as described above, which resulted in approximately $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of reduced expense and additional net investment income, or $0.04 per share and $0.12 per share, respectively, to stockholders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company incurred approximately $1.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in incentive fee, or $0.10 per share and $0.20 per share, respectively, as pre-incentive fee income during the period exceeded an annualized return of 10% and the Adviser received 20% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee income. There were no realized gains since the inception of the Company and, thus, no capital gains incentive fee was earned or is payable. The Company had cumulative net realized and unrealized losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and as a result did not accrue any capital gain incentive fee. The Company accrued $6 thousand in capital gains incentive fee during the three months ended June 30, 2015 based on cumulative realized and unrealized gains as of June 30, 2015. The Company had net unrealized losses during the six months ended June 30, 2015, and therefore, reversed previously accrued capital incentive fees of approximately $0.3 million.

The table above presents the base management and incentive fees accrued during the period and these fees are paid in the quarter after they are earned. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, approximately $1.4 million and $2.7 million of base management fees earned in prior periods were paid, respectively, and approximately $0 and $1.5 million, respectively, of income incentive fees earned in prior periods were paid. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, approximately $1.2 million and $3.1 million of base management fees earned in prior periods were paid, respectively, and approximately $1.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of income incentive fees earned in prior periods were paid.
Administration Agreement
Prior to the commencement of operations, the Board approved an administration agreement dated February 18, 2014 (the “Administration Agreement”). The Administration Agreement provides that the Administrator is responsible for furnishing the Company with office facilities and equipment and providing the Company with clerical, bookkeeping, recordkeeping services and other administrative services at such facilities. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or oversees, or arranges for, the performance of the Company’s required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial and other records which the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to the Company’s stockholders and reports and other materials filed with the SEC and any other regulatory authority. In addition, the Administrator assists the Company in determining and publishing net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns and printing and disseminating reports and other materials to the Company’s stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also provides managerial assistance on the Company’s behalf to those companies that have accepted the Company’s offer to provide such assistance.
24
Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to the Company’s allocable portion (subject to the review of the Board) of the Administrator’s overhead resulting from its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the cost of the chief compliance officer and chief financial officer and their respective staffs. The Administrator engages a sub-administrator to provide certain administrative services. In addition, if requested to provide significant managerial assistance to the Company’s portfolio companies, the Administrator is paid an additional amount based on the services provided, which shall not exceed the amount the Company receives from such companies for providing this assistance.
For both the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, expenses paid or payable by the Company to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement were approximately $0.4 million, of which approximately $62 thousand and $63 thousand, respectively, were paid or payable to third party service providers. For both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, expenses paid or payable by the Company to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement were approximately $0.8 million, of which approximately $122 thousand and $127 thousand, respectively, were paid or payable to third party service providers.
Note 4. Investments
The Company measures the value of its investments at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC Topic 820”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Valuation Committee of the Board is responsible for assisting the Board in valuing investments that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Board, with the assistance of the Adviser and its senior investment team and independent third-party valuation firms, is responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value in accordance with the valuation policy approved by the Board. If more than one valuation method is used to measure fair value, the results are evaluated and weighted, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results. The Board considers a range of fair values based upon the valuation techniques utilized and generally selects a value within that range that most represents fair value based on current market conditions as well as other relevant factors. The Board makes this fair value determination at least on a quarterly basis. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates and depends on the facts and circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.
ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below.
Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2—Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable.
Level 3—Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models incorporating significant unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models and other similar valuations techniques. The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities generally requires significant management judgment due to the inability to observe inputs to valuation.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and it considers factors specific to the investment.
Under ASC 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset, which may be a hypothetical market, and
25
excludes transaction costs. The principal market for any asset is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for such asset in which the reporting entity would or could sell or transfer the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to such market as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Board undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
|
• |
The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the Adviser’s professionals that are responsible for the portfolio investment; |
|
• |
Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the Adviser’s senior investment team; |
|
• |
At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm. However, the Board does not intend to have de minimis investments of less than 1.0% of the Company’s gross assets (up to an aggregate of 10.0% of the Company’s gross assets) independently reviewed, given the expenses involved in connection therewith; |
|
• |
The Valuation Committee then reviews these preliminary valuations and makes fair value recommendations to the Board; and |
|
• |
The Board then discusses valuations and determines, in good faith, the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio based on the input of the Adviser, the respective independent valuation firms and the Valuation Committee. |
Debt Investments
The debt investments identified on the condensed consolidated schedules of investments are loans and equipment leases made to venture growth stage companies focused in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries which are backed by a select group of leading venture capital investors. These investments are considered Level 3 assets under ASC Topic 820 because there is no known or accessible market or market indices for these types of debt instruments and thus the Adviser must estimate the fair value of these investment securities based on models utilizing unobservable inputs.
To estimate the fair value of debt investments, the Company compares the cost basis of each debt investment, which includes original issue discount, to the resulting fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model, unless another model is more appropriate based on the circumstances at the measurement date. The discounted cash flow approach entails analyzing the interest rate spreads for recently completed financing transactions which are similar in nature to these debt investments, in order to determine a comparable range of effective market interest rates. The range of interest rate spreads utilized is based on borrowers with similar credit profiles. All remaining expected cash flows of the investment are discounted using this range of interest rates to determine a range of fair values for the debt investment.
This valuation process includes, among other things, evaluating the underlying investment performance and the portfolio company’s current financial condition and ability to raise additional capital, as well as macro-economic events that may impact valuations. These events include, but are not limited to, current market yields and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. Changes in these unobservable inputs could result in significantly different fair value measurements.
Under certain circumstances, an alternative technique may be used to value certain debt investments that better reflected the fair value of the investment, such as the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or a binding offer received in an arm’s length transaction, the use of multiple probability weighted cash flow models when the expected future cash flows contain elements of variability or estimates of proceeds that would be received in a liquidation scenario.
Warrants
The fair value of warrants is primarily estimated using a Black Scholes option pricing model. Privately held warrants and equity-related securities are valued based on an analysis of various factors, but not limited to, the following:
26
|
volatility associated with such outcomes to allocate the fair value to the specific class of stock held in the portfolio. Such techniques include option pricing models, such as back solve techniques, probability weighted expected return models and other techniques as determined to be appropriate. |
|
• |
Volatility, or the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of the changes in the warrant price, is based on comparable publicly traded companies within indices similar in nature to the underlying company issuing the warrant. Increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value. |
|
• |
The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The risk-free interest rates are calculated based on a weighted average of the risk-free interest rates that correspond closest to the expected remaining life of the warrant. Increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value. |
|
• |
Other adjustments, including a marketability discount on private company warrants, are estimated based on the Adviser’s judgment about the general industry environment. Changes in this unobservable input could result in a significantly different fair value. |
|
• |
Historical portfolio experience on cancellations and exercises of warrants are utilized as the basis for determining the estimated life of the warrants in each financial reporting period. Warrants may be exercised in the event of acquisitions, mergers or initial public offerings, and cancelled due to events such as bankruptcies, restructuring activities or additional financings. These events cause the expected remaining life assumption to be shorter than the contractual term of the warrants. Increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value. |
Under certain circumstances alternative techniques may be used to value certain warrants that better reflect the warrants’ fair values, such as an expected settlement of a warrant in the near term, a model that incorporates a put feature associated with the warrant, or the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or binding offer received in an arm’s-length transaction. The fair value may be determined based on the expected proceeds to be received from such settlement or based on the net present value of the expected proceeds from the put option.
These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment. There is no single standard for determining the estimated fair value of investments which do not have an active public market. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, as they are based on estimates, and their values may fluctuate over time. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market for these investments existed. In some cases, the fair value of such investments is best expressed as a range of values derived utilizing different methodologies from which a single estimate may then be determined.
Equity Investments
The fair value of an equity investment in a privately held company is initially the amount invested. The Company adjusts the fair value of equity investments in private companies upon the completion of a new third party round of equity financing subsequent to its investment. The Company may make adjustments to fair value, absent a new equity financing event, based upon positive or negative changes in a portfolio company’s financial or operational performance. The Company may also reference comparable transactions and/or secondary market transactions of comparable companies to estimate fair value. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment. The fair value of an equity investment in a publicly traded company is based upon the closing public share price on the date of measurement. These assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. There is no single standard for determining the estimated fair value of investments which do not have an active public market. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, as they are based on estimates, and their values may fluctuate over time. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market for these investments existed. In some cases, the fair value of such investments is best expressed as a range of values derived utilizing different methodologies from which a single estimate may then be determined.
The following is a summary by investment type of the fair value according to inputs used in valuing investments listed in the accompanying condensed consolidated schedules of investments as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The following tables present additional information about Level 3 investments measured at fair value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the net unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

As of June 30, 2016, the fair values for all of the Company’s debt investments were estimated using discounted cash flow models based on anticipated cash flows and a discount rate deemed most appropriate for each investment given the facts and circumstances specific to each portfolio company and market yields at the reporting date. For all but three warrant positions and one equity investment, fair values were estimated using an Option-Pricing Method that values individual equity classes based on their economic rights and preferences using the Black Scholes Option-Pricing Model. Three warrant positions and one equity investment were valued using a combination of the Option-Pricing Method and the Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method given the outlook for those portfolio companies. The other equity investments were valued using the market approach. The range of the various assumptions and weighted averages of these assumptions are summarized in the tables above.
As of December 31, 2015, the fair values for all the Company’s debt investments were estimated using discounted cash flow models based on anticipated cash flows and a discount rate deemed most appropriate for each investment given the facts and circumstances specific to each portfolio company and market yields at the reporting date. For all but four warrant positions and one equity investment, fair values were estimated using an Option-Pricing Method that values individual equity classes based on their economic rights and preferences using the Black Scholes Option-Pricing Model. Four warrant positions and one equity investment were valued using a combination of the Option-Pricing Method and the Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method given the outlook for that company. The range of the various assumptions and weighted averages of these assumptions are summarized in the table above.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had pledged certain of its debt investments and certain of its warrants with an aggregate fair value of approximately $293.5 million and $235.2 million, respectively, for borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Debt investments may be affected by business, financial market or legal uncertainties. Prices of investments may be volatile, and a variety of factors that are inherently difficult to predict, such as domestic, economic and political developments, may significantly affect the value of these investments. In addition, the value of these investments may fluctuate as the general level of interest rates fluctuate.
In many instances, the portfolio company’s ability to repay the debt investments is dependent on additional funding by its venture capital investors, a future sale or an initial public offering. The value of these investments may be detrimentally affected to the extent a borrower defaults on its obligations, there is insufficient collateral and/or there are extensive legal and other costs incurred in collecting on a defaulted loan.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, HouseTrip Limited merged with TripAdvisor, Inc. The Company recovered approximately $1.2 million in principal value on its loan that had a principal balance of approximately $6.9 million and amortized cost of approximately $7.3 million. The Company realized a loss of approximately $6.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 which was recognized as an unrealized loss in the previous quarters. The net realized and unrealized loss on this loan during the three months ended June 30, 2016 was zero.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, Intermodal Data, Inc. ceased operations. The Company expects to recover approximately $0.1 million from liquidation on its loan that had a principal balance of approximately $17.5 million and amortized cost of approximately $14.5 million. The Company realized a loss of approximately $14.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016, of which $8.6 million was recognized as an unrealized loss in the previous quarters. The net realized and unrealized loss on this loan during the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $5.8 million.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, KnCMiner AB declared bankruptcy. The Company has two loans to KnCMiner AB, with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $5.6 million and amortized cost of approximately $5.6 million. The estimated fair value of these loans as of June 30, 2016 resulted in an unrealized loss of approximately $0.8 million.
Note 6. Borrowings
Revolving Credit Facility
In February 2014, the Company, along with its Financing Subsidiary as borrower, entered into a credit agreement with Deutsche Bank AG (“Deutsche Bank”), acting as administrative agent and a lender, and KeyBank National Association, Everbank Commercial Lender Finance, Inc., and AloStar Bank of Commerce, as other lenders, which provided the Company with a $150.0 million commitment, subject to borrowing base requirements (“Credit Facility”). In August 2014, the Company amended its Credit Facility to increase the total commitments available there-under by $50.0 million to $200.0 million in aggregate, subject to borrowing base requirements.
Effective as of a January 2016 amendment to the Credit Facility, which reduced the applicable margin by 0.5% and extended both the maturity date and the revolving period by two years, borrowings under this revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the sum of (i) a floating rate based on certain indices, including LIBOR and commercial paper rates, plus (ii) 3.0% during the revolving period and 4.5% during the amortization period. Borrowings under this revolving Credit Facility are secured only by the assets of the Financing Subsidiary. The Company agreed to pay Deutsche Bank a syndication fee in 12 monthly installments, of approximately 1% of the committed facility amount. The Company also agreed to pay Deutsche Bank a fee to act as administrative agent under this revolving Credit Facility and to pay each lender (i) a commitment fee of 0.65% multiplied by such lender’s commitment on the effective date in 12 equal monthly installments and (ii) a fee of approximately 0.75% per annum of any unused borrowings under this Credit Facility on a monthly basis. This revolving Credit Facility contains affirmative and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to an advance rate limitation of approximately 55% of the applicable net loan balance of assets held by the Financing Subsidiary, maintenance of minimum net worth at an agreed level, a ratio of total assets to total indebtedness of not less than approximately 2:1, a key man clause relating to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. James Labe, and the Company’s President and Chief Investment Officer, Mr. Sajal Srivastava, and eligibility requirements, including but not limited to geographic and industry concentration limitations and certain loan grade classifications. Furthermore, events of default under this Credit Facility include, among other things, (i) a payment default; (ii) a change of control; (iii) bankruptcy; (iv) a covenant default; and, (v) the Company’s failure to maintain compliance with RIC provisions at all times. The revolving period of the Credit Facility ends on February 21, 2018 and the maturity date of the Credit Facility is February 21, 2019. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this Credit Facility.
At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $53.0 million and $18.0 million, respectively, under the Credit Facility, which is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of assets and
32
liabilities. The book value of the Credit Facility not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity, cash repayments and market interest rates of the instrument. The fair value of the Credit Facility would be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
2020 Notes
On August 4, 2015, the Company completed a public offering of $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.75% Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") and received net proceeds of approximately $48.3 million after the payment of fees and offering costs. The interest on the 2020 Notes is payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, beginning on October 15, 2015. The 2020 Notes are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TPVZ”. The 2020 Notes were issued in integral principal amount multiples ("units") of $25. On September 2, 2015, the Company issued an additional $4.6 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2020 Notes and received net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million after the payment of fees and offering costs as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their option to purchase additional 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are disclosed under “2020 Notes” in the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, net of unamortized issuance costs. The interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs are summarized in the table below.
At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the 2020 Notes had a market price of $25.57 per unit and $25.24 per unit, respectively, resulting in an aggregate fair value of approximately $55.9 million and $55.1 million, respectively. The liability of the Company is recorded at amortized cost, not at fair value on the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Amortized cost includes approximately $1.5 million and $1.7 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, of deferred issuance cost which is amortized and expensed over the five year term of the 2020 Notes based on an effective yield method.
Interest expense includes the interest cost charged on borrowings, the unused fee on the Credit Facility, third party administrative fees, and the amortization of deferred Credit Facility fees and expenses. These expenses are summarized in the table below.

On December 31, 2015, the Company purchased $70.0 million of U.S. Treasury bills for settlement on January 5, 2016. The associated payable was included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Note 7. Commitments
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s unfunded commitments to ten and twelve companies, respectively, totaled approximately $164.5 million and $190.0 million, respectively, of which approximately $100.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, was dependent upon the companies reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available to them. Our credit agreements contain customary lending provisions which allow us relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. We generally expect approximately 75% of our gross unfunded commitments to eventually be drawn before the expiration of their corresponding availability periods. The tables below provide the Company’s unfunded commitments by customer as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The tables above also provide the fair value of the Company’s unfunded commitment liability as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 totaling approximately $2.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The fair value at the inception of the agreement of the delay draw credit agreements is equal to the fees and warrants received to enter into these agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit profile. The unfunded commitment liability reflects the fair value of these future funding commitments and is included in “Other accrued expenses and liabilities” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the fair value of unfunded commitment liability increased by approximately $0.5 million and $1.0 million primarily due to changes in unfunded commitments.
These liabilities are considered Level 3 liabilities under ASC Topic 820 because there is no known or accessible market or market indices for these types of financial instruments. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. The below table provides additional details of unfunded commitments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

All per share activity is calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding for the relevant period, except net increase (decrease) in net assets from capital share transactions, which is based on the common shares outstanding as of the relevant balance sheet date. The public offering of common stock in 2015 was issued at a price in excess of net asset value (“NAV”) as of the date of issuance. |
(2) |
Total return based on net asset value (“NAV”) is the change in ending NAV per share plus distributions per share paid during the period assuming participation in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan divided by the beginning NAV per share. The total return is for the period shown and is not annualized. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the first and second quarter distributions of $0.36 per share are included in the determination of total return. |

Note 10. Equity
In 2014, the Company issued 9,840,665 shares of common stock through an initial public offering and a concurrent private placement offering and received net proceeds of approximately $143.3 million. On March 27, 2015, the Company priced a public offering of 6,500,000 shares of its common stock, raising approximately $93.7 million after offering costs. On April 29, 2015, the Company received an additional approximately $2.2 million through the issuance of 154,018 shares of the Company’s common stock as the result of underwriters’ partial exercise of their overallotment option. Offering costs of approximately $0.9 million were borne by
37
the Company and charged against paid-in capital. The Adviser agreed to pay approximately $3.7 million, which represents a portion of the market price discount and the entire underwriting sales load, which amounts are not subject to recoupment from the Company.
The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan for its stockholders, which is an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan. Under this plan, if the Company declares a cash distribution to stockholders, the amount of such distribution is automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock unless a stockholder specifically “opts out” of the dividend reinvestment plan. If a stockholder opts out, that stockholder receives cash distributions.
Information on the proceeds raised along with any related underwriting sales load and associated offering expenses, and the price at which common stock was issued by the Company, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 is provided in the following tables.

In connection with this offering, the Adviser paid the underwriters a supplemental payment of approximately $0.7 million, or $0.11 per share, which reflected the difference between the public offering price and the proceeds per share received by the Company in the offering. |
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $25 million of its common stock at prices below the Company’s net asset value per share as reported in its most recent financial statements. Under the repurchase program, the Company may, but is not obligated to, repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time. The Company expects that the program will be in effect until the earlier of October 31, 2016, or until the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase shares. The Company repurchased 190,242 shares and 466,220 shares of common stock for approximately $2.0 million and $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively.

Note 11. Distributions
The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code, beginning with the Company’s taxable year ended December 31, 2014. In order to maintain its ability to be subject to tax as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of its net realized long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. Additionally, to avoid a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on certain of the Company’s undistributed income, the Company must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (a) 98% of the Company’s ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for such calendar year; (b) 98.2% of the amount by which the Company’s capital gains exceed the Company’s capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made by the Company to use its taxable year); and (c) certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax. For the tax years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, the Company was subject to a 4% U.S. federal excise tax and the Company may be subject to this tax in future years. In such cases, the Company is liable for the tax only on the amount by which the Company do not meet the foregoing distribution requirement. The character of income and gains that the Company distributes is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from 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.
The following table summarizes the Company’s cash distributions per share since March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations).

The amount of this initial dividend reflected a quarterly dividend rate of $0.30 per share, prorated for the 27 days for the period from the pricing of the Company’s initial public offering on March 5, 2014 through March 31, 2014. |
It is the Company’s intention to distribute all or substantially all of its taxable income earned over the course of the year; thus, no provision for income tax has been recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2015, total dividends of $1.44 per share were declared and paid and represented a distribution of ordinary income as the Company’s earnings and profits for 2015 exceeded its distributions. As of December 31, 2015, the Company estimated it had approximately $1.7 million of remaining taxable earnings to distribute to stockholders. This “spillover” income was paid as part of the first quarter 2016 dividends.

Distributions
On August 8, 2016, the Company announced that its Board declared a $0.36 per share distribution, payable on September 16, 2016, to stockholders of record on August 31, 2016.
Recent Portfolio Activity
From July 1, 2016, through August 8, 2016, the Company funded $5.0 million in debt investments and $150 thousand in equity investments. TPC’s direct originations platform entered into $27.0 million of additional non-binding signed term sheets with venture growth stage companies, subject to due diligence, definitive documentation and investment committee approval, as well as compliance with TPC’s allocation policy.
Dollar Shave Club announced its acquisition by Unilever for $1 billion, which is expected to result in an approximately $725,000 of realized gains and fees for the Company.
Walmart announced it agreed to acquire Jet.com for $3 billion of cash and $300 million of Walmart shares. Any realized gains and fees earned by the Company will be determined once further details are known.
Other
The Company submitted its management assessment questionnaire and supporting documentation as part of the Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) program application process. There is no assurance that the application for an SBIC license will be approved, or that, if approved, the Company will be able to draw up to the maximum amount of leverage funds available under the SBIC program.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and schedules thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise specified, references to “the Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. and its subsidiaries.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp., our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include statements as to:
|
• |
our future operating results; |
|
• |
our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies; |
|
• |
our relationships with third parties including venture capital investors; |
|
• |
the impact and timing of our unfunded commitments; |
|
• |
the expected market for venture capital investments; |
|
• |
the performance of our existing portfolio and other investments we may make in the future; |
|
• |
the impact of investments that we expect to make; |
|
• |
actual and potential conflicts of interest with TriplePoint Capital LLC (“TPC”) and TPVG Advisers LLC (our “Adviser”) and its senior investment team and Investment Committee; |
|
• |
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties; |
|
• |
the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest; |
|
• |
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives; |
|
• |
our expected financings and investments; |
|
• |
the ability of our Adviser to attract, retain and have access to highly talented professionals, including our Adviser’s senior management team; |
|
• |
our ability to qualify and maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); |
|
• |
the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital; and |
|
• |
the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies. |
These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:
|
• |
an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies; |
|
• |
a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our lending and investment activities; |
|
• |
interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly when we elect to use leverage as part of our investment strategy; |
|
• |
currency fluctuations could adversely affect the results of our investments in foreign companies, particularly to the extent that we receive payments denominated in foreign currency rather than U.S. dollars; and |
|
• |
the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under Part I, Item 1A and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |
41
Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include our ability to originate new loans and investments, certain margins and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under Part I, Item 1A. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2014.
Our shares are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “TPVG”. Our 6.75% Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") are currently listed on The NYSE under the symbol “TPVZ”.
Our investment objective is to maximize our total return to stockholders primarily in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by primarily lending with warrants to venture growth stage companies focused in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries which are backed by TPC’s select group of leading venture capital investors.
We were formed to expand the venture growth stage business segment of TPC’s global investment platform and are the primary vehicle through which TPC focuses its venture growth stage business. TPC is widely recognized as a leading global financing provider devoted to serving venture capital-backed companies with creative, flexible and customized debt financing, equity capital and complementary services throughout their lifespan. TPC is located on Sand Hill Road in Silicon Valley and has a primary focus in technology, life sciences and other high growth industries.
We commenced investment activities on March 5, 2014. In order to expedite the ramp-up of our investment activities and further our ability to meet our investment objectives, on March 5, 2014, we acquired our initial portfolio. The net consideration paid was approximately $121.7 million which reflected approximately $123.7 million of investments less approximately $2.0 million of prepaid interest and fair value of unfunded commitments. We financed the acquisition of our initial portfolio by using a portion of a $200.0 million credit facility (the “Bridge Facility”) provided by Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”). On March 11, 2014, we completed our initial public offering and sold 9,840,665 shares of common stock (including 1,250,000 shares of common stock through the underwriters’ exercise of their overallotment option and the concurrent private placement of 257,332 shares of common stock to our Adviser’s senior team and other persons associated with TPC) at an offering price of $15.00 per share. We received approximately $141.6 million of net proceeds in connection with the initial public offering and concurrent private placement, net of the portion of underwriting sales load and offering costs we paid. We used a portion of these net proceeds to pay down all amounts outstanding under the Bridge Facility and terminated the Bridge Facility in conjunction with such repayment.
In February 2014, we entered into a credit agreement with Deutsche Bank acting as administrative agent and a lender, and KeyBank National Association, Everbank Commercial Lender Finance, Inc., and AloStar Bank of Commerce, as other lenders, which provided us with a $150.0 million commitment, subject to borrowing base requirements (“Credit Facility”). In August 2014, we amended the Credit Facility to increase the total commitments by $50.0 million to $200.0 million in aggregate. Effective as of a January 2016 amendment to the Credit Facility, which reduced the applicable margin by 0.5% and extended both the maturity date and the revolving period by two years, borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the sum of (i) a floating rate based on certain indices, including LIBOR and commercial paper rates, plus (ii) 3.0% during the Credit Facility’s revolving period. The revolving period of the Credit Facility ends on February 21, 2018 and the maturity date of the Credit Facility is February 21, 2019.
On March 27, 2015, we priced a public offering of 6,500,000 shares of our common stock, raising approximately $93.7 million after offering costs. On April 29, 2015, we received an additional approximately $2.2 million through the issuance of 154,018 shares of our common stock as the result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their overallotment option.
On August 4, 2015, we completed a public offering of $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Notes and received net proceeds of approximately $48.3 million after the payment of fees and offering costs. The interest on the 2020 Notes is payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, beginning on October 15, 2015. On September 2, 2015, we issued an additional $4.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Notes and received net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million, after
42
the payment of the underwriting sales load and offering costs as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their option to purchase additional 2020 Notes.
Portfolio Composition, Investment Activity and Asset Quality
Portfolio Composition
We originate and invest primarily in venture growth stage companies. Companies at the venture growth stage have distinct characteristics differentiating them from venture capital-backed companies at other stages in their development lifecycle. We invest primarily in (i) growth capital loans that have a secured collateral position and that are used by venture growth stage companies to finance their continued expansion and growth, (ii) equipment financings, which may be structured as loans or leases, that have a secured collateral position on specified mission-critical equipment, (iii) on a select basis, revolving loans that have a secured collateral position and that are used by venture growth stage companies to advance against inventory, components, accounts receivable, contractual or future billings, bookings, revenues, sales or cash payments and collections including proceeds from a sale, financing or the equivalent and (iv) direct equity investments in venture growth stage companies. In connection with our growth capital loans, equipment financings and revolving loans, we generally receive warrants that allow us to participate in any equity appreciation of our borrowers and enhance our overall investment returns.
As of June 30, 2016, we had 88 investments in 33 companies and our four largest portfolio companies represented approximately 41.6% of our portfolio investments. Our investments included 52 debt investments, 29 warrant investments, and seven direct equity investments. As of June 30, 2016, the total cost and fair value of these investments were approximately $301.2 million and approximately $299.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, one of our portfolio companies was publicly traded. At June 30, 2016, the 52 debt investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $286.8 million had a weighted average loan to enterprise value at the time of underwriting ratio of approximately 8.4%. Enterprise value of the portfolio company is estimated based on information available, including any information regarding the most recent rounds of capital raised by the portfolio company.
As of December 31, 2015, we had 85 investments in 34 companies and our four largest portfolio companies represented approximately 43.7% of our portfolio investments. Our investments included 47 debt investments, 31 warrant investments, and seven direct equity investments. The total cost and fair value of these investments were approximately $276.4 million and approximately $271.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, two of our portfolio companies were publicly traded. At December 31, 2015, the 47 debt investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $259.6 million had a weighted average loan to enterprise value at the time of underwriting ratio of approximately 19.2%. Excluding the debt investment to Intermodal Data, Inc. (due to its foreclosure agreement to purchase certain assets and assume the outstanding obligations - see further discussion in “Asset Quality” below), the weighted average loan to enterprise value at the time of underwriting ratio was approximately 8.6% as of December 31, 2015.
The following tables provide information on the cost and fair value of our investments in companies along with the number of companies in our portfolio as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Our level of investment activity can vary substantially from period to period as our Adviser chooses to slow or accelerate new business originations depending on market conditions, rate of investment of TPC’s select group of leading venture capital investors, our Adviser’s knowledge, expertise and experience, our funding capacity (including availability under our credit facilities and our ability or inability to raise equity or debt capital), and other market dynamics.

On June 30, 2016, we acquired $70.0 million in face value of U.S. Treasury bills which were sold on July 5, 2016. On December 31, 2015, we acquired $70.0 million in U.S. Treasury bills which were sold on January 5, 2016. The purchase and sale of U.S. Treasury bills were done to efficiently meet certain diversification tests.

Operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
An important measure of our financial performance is net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and net unrealized gains (losses). Net investment income (loss) is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating expenses including interest on borrowed funds. Net realized gains (losses) on investments are the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost. Net unrealized gains (losses) on investments are the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio.
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $3 thousand, which was comprised of approximately $5.0 million of net investment income and approximately $5.0 million of net realized and unrealized losses. On a per share basis, net investment income was $0.30 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was approximately $0.00 per share. Our core net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $5.0 million, or $0.30 per share (please refer to the reconciliation of net investment income to core net investment income below). For the three months ended June 30, 2015, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $7.1 million, which was comprised of approximately $6.3 million of net investment income and approximately $0.8 million of net unrealized gains. On a per share basis, net investment income was $0.38 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was $0.43 per share. Our core investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $6.3 million, or $0.38 per share.
Our investment and other income during the three months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $2.2 million less than our investment and other income during the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to there being no prepayments during the 2016 period and less income related to terminations and expirations of unfunded commitments and other income. Operating expenses decreased by approximately $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to not incurring an incentive fee in the 2016 period. Interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $0.7 million greater than during the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily as the result of our issuance of 2020 Notes in the second half of 2015, partially offset by lower balances drawn on our credit facility. Expenses due to our administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with TPVG Administrator LLC (the “Administrator”) and general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2016 were approximately $0.1 million greater than during the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to increased costs due to administering loans. Net investment income and core net investment income during the three months ended June 30, 2016 were approximately $1.3 million less than during the three months ended June 30, 2015, as the decrease in investment and other income was only partially offset by the decrease in operating expenses. Our net increase in net assets resulting from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $7.0 million less than during the three months
48
ended June 30, 2015, as our net realized and unrealized losses during the 2016 period were approximately $5.7 million greater than the net realized and unrealized gains reported during the 2015 period.
Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $7.3 million, which was comprised of approximately $11.7 million of net investment income and approximately $19.0 million of net realized and unrealized losses. On a per share basis, net investment income was $0.72 per share and the net decrease in net assets from operations was $0.45 per share. Our core net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $11.7 million, or $0.72 per share (please refer to the reconciliation of net investment income to core net investment income below). For the six months ended June 30, 2015, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $9.8 million, which was comprised of approximately $11.2 million of net investment income and approximately $1.4 million of net realized and unrealized losses. On a per share basis, net investment income was $0.84 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was $0.73 per share. Our core investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $10.9 million, or $0.81 per share.
Our investment and other income during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $0.9 million less than during the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to lower other income relating to expirations and terminations of unfunded commitments and lower prepayment activity. Operating expenses decreased by approximately $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to not incurring an incentive fee in the 2016 period. Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $0.9 million greater than during the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily as the result of our issuance of 2020 Notes in the second half of 2015, partially offset by lower balances drawn on our credit facility. Administrative agreement and general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2016 were approximately $0.1 million greater than during the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to increased costs due to administering loans. Net investment income and core net investment income during the six months ended June 30, 2016 were approximately $0.4 million greater and $0.7 million greater, respectively, than during the six months ended June 30, 2015, as the decrease in investment and other income was more than offset by the decrease in operating expenses. Our net decrease in net assets resulting from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $17.0 million more than during the six months ended June 30, 2015, as our net realized and unrealized losses during the 2016 period were approximately $17.5 million greater than the net realized and unrealized losses reported during the 2015 period.

Core net investment income, unlike GAAP net investment income, excludes accrued, but unearned, capital gains incentive fees. We believe an important measure of the investment income that we will be required to distribute each year is core net investment income as capital gains incentive fees are accrued based on unrealized gains but are not earned until realized gains occur. Specifically, the capital gains component of the incentive fee is paid at the end of each calendar year and is 20.0% of our aggregate cumulative realized gains from commencement of operations through the end of the year, computed net of our aggregate cumulative realized losses and our aggregate cumulative unrealized losses through the end of such year. For the foregoing purpose, our “aggregate cumulative realized
50
capital gains” does not include any unrealized gains. The capital gains component of the incentive fee is not subject to any minimum return to stockholders. No capital gains incentive fee was earned or was payable during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we reported approximately $0.8 million in unrealized capital gains and $1.1 million in unrealized capital losses, respectively. We accrued approximately $6 thousand of capital gains incentive fee during the three months ended June 30, 2015 based on cumulative realized and unrealized gains as of June 30, 2015. We reversed previously accrued capital gains incentive fees of approximately $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015, resulting in a net reversal of $0.3 million of capital gains incentive fees during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Investment income includes interest income on our debt investments utilizing the effective yield method and includes cash interest income as well as the amortization of purchase premium, accretion of purchase discount, original issue discount, facilities fees, and the amortization and payment of the end-of-term (“EOT”) payments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, investment income totaled approximately $9.4 million and $20.4 million, respectively, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments for the period held of approximately 13.2% and 14.4%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, investment income totaled approximately $10.5 million and $19.7 million, respectively, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments for the period held of approximately 17.9% and 16.2%, respectively.
The weighted average portfolio yield on debt investments is dependent on fundings and the performance of our loans, including prepayments. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we had no prepayments. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, two of our portfolio companies fully prepaid their outstanding principal of approximately $24.8 million and one of our portfolio companies made a partial prepayment of $5.0 million. The weighted average portfolio yield on debt investments, excluding the impact of prepayments, was approximately 13.2% and 13.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we had prepayment of approximately $46.9 million and $56.9 million, respectively, in principal value. The weighted average portfolio yield on debt investments, excluding the impact of prepayments, was approximately 14.3% and 14.4%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.
We calculate weighted average portfolio yields for periods shown as the annualized rates of the interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio at the beginning of each month in the period. The weighted average yields reported for these periods are annualized and reflect the weighted average yields to maturities. Should the portfolio companies choose to repay their loans earlier, our weighted average yields will increase for those debt investments affected but may reduce our weighted average yields on the remaining portfolio in future quarters. As our portfolio grows and seasons, we expect our loans to be outstanding for shorter periods than to maturity and to reflect healthy prepayment activity.
The following table provides the weighted average portfolio yield on our portfolio comprising of cash interest income, accretion of the net purchase discount, facilities fees and the value of warrants received, accretion of EOT payments and the accelerated receipt of EOT payments on prepayments.

The yields for periods shown are the annualized rates of interest income or the components of interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio at the beginning of each month in the period. |
Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments may be higher than an investor’s yield on an investment in shares of our common stock. Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments does not reflect operating expenses that may be incurred by us.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized other income of approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, consisting of approximately $81 thousand and $0.4 million, respectively, from the expiration or termination of unfunded commitments, and approximately $52 thousand in each period from amortization of certain fees and miscellaneous income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized other income of approximately $1.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, consisting of approximately $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, from the expiration or termination of unfunded commitments, and approximately $0.4 million in each period from amortization of certain fees and miscellaneous income.

Total operating expenses consisting of base management and incentive fees, interest expense, administrative agreement expenses, and general and administrative expenses are summarized in the statement of operations table above. In determining the base management fee, our Adviser had agreed to exclude the U.S. Treasury bill assets acquired at the end of each of the quarters in the calculation of the gross assets. We anticipate operating expenses will increase over time as our portfolio continues to grow. However, we anticipate operating expenses, as a percentage of totals assets and net assets, will decrease over time as our portfolio and capital base grow. We expect management fees will increase as we grow our asset base and our earnings. Capital gains incentive fee will depend on realized and unrealized gains and losses. Interest expense will increase as we utilize more of our Credit Facility, and we expect fees per the administrative agreement and general and administrative agreements will increase to meet the additional requirements associated with servicing a larger portfolio.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the net realized losses and net change in unrealized gains were approximately $5.0 million primarily as a result of one obligor ceasing operations during this period. The net losses consisted of approximately $21.3 million of realized losses: approximately $20.5 million from two debt investments and approximately $0.8 million from four warrants as the result of acquisitions of three obligors and the ceasing of operations of one company. A majority of these losses (approximately $15.5 million) were recognized as unrealized losses in prior quarters which were reversed this quarter, which was the primary reason for the unrealized gains of $16.3 million recognized this quarter.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the net realized losses and net change in unrealized gains were approximately $18.9 million. The net losses included approximately $22.0 million of realized losses: approximately $20.5 million from two debt investments and approximately $1.5 million from seven warrants as a result of the acquisitions of four obligors, one warrant expiring out-of-the money and the ceasing of operations of one company. These events were partially reflected in unrealized losses recorded prior to the current year and the reversal of previously recognized unrealized losses was approximately $5.1 million. This was partially offset by other unrealized losses on debt investments (approximately $1.8 million) and warrant and equity investments (approximately $0.2 million) resulting in approximately $3.1 million of net unrealized gains recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the net change in unrealized gains was approximately $0.8 million, primarily from the increase in fair values on warrant and equity investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the net change in realized and unrealized losses was approximately $1.5 million, consisting of approximately $0.3 million of realized losses on warrants and approximately $1.2 million of unrealized losses. Net changes in unrealized losses consisted of approximately $3.3 million of net unrealized losses on debt investments, partially offset by approximately $2.1 million of net unrealized gains on warrant and equity investments.
Net change in realized and unrealized gains or losses in subsequent periods may be volatile as it depends on changes in the market, changes in the underlying performance of our portfolio companies and their respective industries, and other market factors.

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Valuation of investments, income recognition, realized / unrealized gains or losses and U.S. federal income taxes are considered to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. These have been disclosed under “Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to consolidated financial statements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 14, 2016. We have not made any changes to the policy in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as disclosed in our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, cash used by operating activities, consisting primarily of purchases, sales and repayments of investments and the items described in “-Results of Operations,” was approximately $36.9 million and cash provided by financing activities was approximately $21.3 million due to $35.0 million of borrowings under our Credit Facility, partially offset by approximately $10.6 million in dividend distribution, approximately $2.0 million in repurchase of common stock and approximately $1.1 million in payments of Credit Facility costs, which are deferred and expensed over the term of the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2016, cash, including restricted cash, was approximately $20.1 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of purchases, sales and repayments of investments and the items described in “-Results of Operations,” was approximately $25.3 million and cash provided by financing activities, including net proceeds from issuance of common stock and net repayment of borrowings, was approximately $29.8 million. As of June 30, 2015, cash, including restricted cash, was approximately $97.4 million.
On March 27, 2015, we priced a public equity offering of 6.5 million shares of our common stock, raising approximately $93.7 million after offering costs. The proceeds from this public equity offering of our common stock were received on April 1, 2015. On April 29, 2015, the Company received an additional approximately $2.2 million through the issuance of 154,018 shares of the Company’s common stock as the result of underwriters’ partial exercise of their overallotment option. We used a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to temporarily repay a portion of our outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility.
As a BDC, we generally have an ongoing need to raise additional capital for investment purposes. As a result, we expect, from time to time, to access the debt and equity markets when we believe it is necessary and appropriate to do so. If we are unable to obtain leverage or raise equity capital on terms that are acceptable to us, our ability to grow our portfolio could be substantially impacted.
Contractual Obligations
In February 2014, we entered into our Credit Facility with Deutsche Bank, acting as administrative agent, and a lender, and KeyBank National Association, Everbank Commercial Lender Finance, Inc., and AloStar Bank of Commerce, as other lenders, which provided us with a $150.0 million commitment, subject to borrowing base requirements. In August 2014, we amended our Credit Facility to increase the total commitments available there-under by $50.0 million to $200.0 million in aggregate. Effective as of a January 2016 amendment to the Credit Facility, which reduced the applicable margin by 0.5% and extended both the maturity date and the revolving period by two years, borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the sum of (i) a floating rate based on certain indices, including LIBOR and commercial paper rates, plus (ii) 3.0% during the Credit Facility’s revolving period. The revolving period of the Credit Facility ends on February 21, 2018 and the maturity date of the Credit Facility is February 21, 2019.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had outstanding borrowings of $53.0 million and $18.0 million, respectively, under our Credit Facility, which is included in the condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. We had $147.0 million and $182.0 million of remaining capacity on our Credit Facility as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
On August 4, 2015, we completed a public offering of $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Notes and received net proceeds of approximately $48.3 million after the payment of fees and offering costs. The interest on the 2020 Notes is payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, beginning on October 15, 2015. The 2020 Notes are currently listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TPVZ”. On September 2, 2015, we issued an additional $4.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Notes and received net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million after the payment of fees and offering costs as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their option to purchase additional 2020 Notes.

We are a party to certain delay draw credit agreements with our portfolio companies, which require us to make future advances at the companies’ discretion during a defined loan availability period. Our credit agreements contain customary lending provisions which allow us relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our unfunded commitments to ten companies and twelve companies, respectively, totaled approximately $164.5 million and $190.0 million, respectively. The following table provides additional information on our unfunded commitments regarding milestones, expirations, and types of loans.

Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for us. Over time, we generally expect approximately 75% of our gross unfunded commitments to be drawn before the expiration of their corresponding availability periods. We evaluate funding needs and expectations for each company at the time of commitment and as the company progresses and develops during the availability period.
The fair value at the inception of the agreement of the delay draw credit agreements with our customers is equal to the fees and/or warrants received to enter into these agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit profile. The unfunded commitment liability reflects the fair value of these future funding commitments. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value for these unfunded commitments totaled approximately $2.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and was included in “other accrued expenses and liabilities” in our condensed consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.
As of June 30, 2016, we had a payable of approximately $70.0 million in face value due July 5, 2016, for the acquisition of U.S. Treasury bills. On July 5, 2016, we sold the U.S. Treasury bills and settled the payable in full. As of December 31, 2015, we had a payable of approximately $70.0 million due January 5, 2016, for the acquisition of U.S. Treasury bills. On January 5, 2016, we sold the U.S. Treasury bills and settled the payable in full.
In addition to the contractual obligations set forth above, we have certain obligations with respect to the investment advisory and administration services we received during the three months ended June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the outstanding obligations totaled approximately $1.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of approximately $164.5 million and $190.0 million, respectively, of unfunded commitments, of which approximately $100.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, was dependent upon the companies reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available to them. Our credit agreements with our customers contain customary lending provisions which allow us relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company.
The table below provides our unfunded commitments by customer as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Dividends and Distributions
We have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. In order to maintain our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC, among other things, we must distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of our net realized long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders. Additionally, to avoid a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on certain of our undistributed income, we would need to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (a) 98% of our ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for such calendar year; (b) 98.2% of the amount by which our capital gains exceed our capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made by us to use our taxable year); and (c) certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax. For the tax years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, we were subject to a 4% U.S. federal excise tax and we may be subject to this tax in future years. In such cases, we will be liable for the tax only on the amount by which we do not meet the foregoing distribution requirement.
To the extent our earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for a taxable year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders. Our Adviser monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a return of capital may occur for the year. The tax character of distributions will be determined at the end of the taxable year. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a dividend payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our taxable ordinary income or capital gains. The specific tax characteristics of our distributions will be reported to stockholders after the end of the taxable year.
The following table summarizes our cash distributions per share since March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations).

(2) The amount of this initial dividend reflected a quarterly dividend rate of $0.30 per share, prorated for the 27 days for the period from the pricing of our initial public offering on March 5, 2014 through March 31, 2014.
For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015, dividends paid were comprised of interest-sourced dividends (qualified interest income) in amounts equal to 97.7% and 95.1% of total dividends paid, respectively.
Related Parties
We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
|
• |
We have entered into an investment advisory agreement, dated February 18, 2014, with our Adviser. Certain of our officers are also principals of the Adviser. |
|
• |
We have entered into an Administration Agreement, dated February 18, 2014, with our Administrator. Pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, our Administrator provides us with the office facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. Certain of our officers are also principals of the Administrator. |
|
• |
We have entered into a license agreement with TPC pursuant to which TPC has agreed to grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “TriplePoint.” |
We have also adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as all of our officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Ethics requires that all employees and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and our interests. Pursuant to our Code of Ethics, each employee and director must disclose any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict, to our Chief Compliance Officer. Our Audit Committee is charged with approving any waivers under our Code of Ethics. As required by the NYSE corporate governance listing standards, the Audit Committee of our board of directors (the “Board”) is also required to review and approve any transactions with related parties (as such term is defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).
Distributions
On August 8, 2016, we announced that our Board declared a $0.36 per share distribution, payable on September 16, 2016, to stockholders of record on August 31, 2016.
Recent Portfolio Activity
From July 1, 2016, through August 8, 2016, the Company funded $5.0 million in debt investments and $150 thousand in equity investments. TPC’s direct originations platform entered into $27.0 million of additional non-binding signed term sheets with venture growth stage companies, subject to due diligence, definitive documentation and investment committee approval, as well as compliance with TPC’s allocation policy.
Dollar Shave Club announced its acquisition by Unilever for $1 billion, which is expected to result in an approximately $725,000 of realized gains and fees for us.
56
Walmart announced it agreed to acquire Jet.com for $3 billion of cash and $300 million of Walmart shares. Any realized gains and fees earned by us will be determined once further details are known.
Other
We submitted our management assessment questionnaire and supporting documentation as part of the Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) program application process. There is no assurance that the application for an SBIC license will be approved, or that, if approved, we will be able to draw up to the maximum amount of leverage funds available under the SBIC program.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings and in the relative values of our portfolio that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. Because a majority of our loans in our existing portfolio, as of June 30, 2016, have a fixed interest rate, the fair values of these loans may fluctuate from changes in market interest rates.
As of June 30, 2016, a majority of the debt investments (approximately 62%) in our debt investment portfolio bore interest at fixed rates with approximately $108.3 million in principal balance of loans outstanding subject to floating interest rates, all of which have interest rate floors and some of them have interest rate caps for a limited period. In the future, we may increase the amount of loans in our portfolio subject to floating interest rates. Almost all our unfunded commitments float with changes in the prime rate from the date we enter into the commitment to the date of the actual draw. Our Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate. Our 2020 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate. As of June 30, 2016, our floating rate borrowings totaled $53.0 million, so an increase in interest rates would currently benefit us as we would generate additional interest income in excess of the additional interest expense. This is illustrated in the following table which shows the annual impact on net income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure from the June 30, 2016 condensed consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.

This analysis is indicative of the potential impact on our investment income as of June 30, 2016, assuming an immediate and sustained change in interest rates as noted. It should be noted that we anticipate growth in our portfolio funded in part with additional borrowings and such additional borrowings, all else being equal, will increase our investment income sensitivity to interest rates, and such changes could be material. In addition, this analysis does not adjust for potential changes in our portfolio or our borrowing facilities nor does it take into account any changes in the credit performance of our loans that might occur should interest rates change.
Since it is our intention to hold loans to maturity, the fluctuating relative value of these loans that may occur due to changes in interest rate may have an impact on unrealized gains and losses during quarterly reporting periods. Based on our assessment of the interest rate risk, as of June 30, 2016, we had no hedging transactions in place as we deemed the risk acceptable and we did not believe it was necessary to mitigate this risk at that time.
While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively hedge our interest rate risk.
57
Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are financial in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates and other factors drive our performance more directly than does inflation. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
As of June 30, 2016 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
|
|
(b) |
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting |
|
|
Management has not identified any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
58
We, our Adviser and our Administrator are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us, our Adviser or our Administrator. From time to time, we, our Adviser or our Administrator may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 14, 2016, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
(a) |
Dividend Reinvestment Plan |
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we issued 114,978 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan. These issuances were not subject to the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The cash paid for shares of common stock issued under our dividend reinvestment plan during the three months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $1.1 million. Other than shares issued under our dividend reinvestment plan during the three months ended June 30, 2016, we did not sell any unregistered equity securities.
(b) |
Stock Repurchase Plan |
In October 2015, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to $25 million of our common stock at prices below our net asset value per share as reported in our most recent financial statements. Under the repurchase program, we may, but are not obligated to, repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time. Any repurchases by us will comply with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by us, in our discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. We expect that the program will be in effect until the earlier of October 31, 2016, and when the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase shares. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we repurchased 190,242 shares of common stock at an average price of $10.52 per share resulting in approximately $2.0 million. The following table outlines repurchases of our common stock that we made during the three months ended June 30, 2016.
