DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)

For the period from September 1, 2022, through February 28, 2023, as provided by the fund’s primary portfolio managers, Kevin Cronk, Chris Barris and Brandon Chao of Alcentra NY, LLC, the fund’s sub-adviser

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended February 28, 2023, BNY Mellon Alcentra Global Credit Income 2024 Target Term Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) produced a total return of 4.42% on a net-asset-value basis and 6.95% on a market price basis.1 Over the same period, the fund provided aggregate income dividends of $0.30 per share, which reflects an annualized distribution rate of 7.81%.2 In comparison, the ICE BofA Global High Yield Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, posted a total return of 4.25% for the same period.3

Global credit instruments generally delivered positive returns over the period, benefiting from increased visibility on the direction of action from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) as inflationary pressures moderated and the pace of interest rate increases slowed.4 The fund’s performance benefited from exposure to high-yield, floating-rate and structured credit instruments, and from positive sector allocations.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund’s investment objectives are to seek high current income and to return at least $9.835 per Common Share (the initial public offering price per Common Share (as defined below) after deducting a sales load of $0.165 per Common Share but before deducting offering costs of $0.02 per Common Share (“Original NAV”)) to holders of record of shares of the fund’s common stock (“Common Shares”) on or about the December 1, 2024 (subject to certain extensions, the “Termination Date”).4

The fund will normally invest primarily in credit instruments and other investments with similar economic characteristics. Such credit instruments include: first lien, secured, floating-rate loans, as well as investments in participations and assignments of such loans; second lien, senior unsecured, mezzanine and other collateralized and uncollateralized subordinated loans; corporate debt obligations other than loans; and structured products, including collateralized bond, loan and other debt obligations, structured notes and credit-linked notes.

Principal investment strategies include:

• Senior Secured Loans and Other Loans

• Corporate Debt

• Special Situations

• Structured Credit

Credits Benefit from Moderating Inflation and Slowing Rate Hikes

The reporting period began on a negative note as bond prices broadly retreated in September and early October 2022 in the face of high levels of inflation and sharply rising interest rates. Although U.S. inflation appeared to peak before the period began, topping at over 9% in June, it remained over 8% at the start of the period, well above the Fed’s 2% target rate. The Fed responded with its third consecutive 0.75% increase to the federal funds rate in September, while indicating that additional increases were likely, increasing concerns

of a possible recession. In Europe, inflation-related worries were exacerbated by Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, which increased energy prices and heightened regional geopolitical instability.

Fixed-income assets recovered broadly beginning in mid-October as inflationary pressures eased, and economic data reassured investors that a recession was not imminent. In the United States, inflation dropped steadily, falling below 7% in December. While the Fed continued to hike rates, the scale of increases eased, with a fourth 0.75% increase in November, followed by a 0.50% increase in December and a 0.25% increase in January 2023. At the same time, the U.S. economy continued to grow, bolstered by strong consumer spending, rising wages and robust levels of employment. European economies also showed surprising strength despite the war in Ukraine, with warmer-than-expected winter temperatures limiting the impact of the conflict on energy prices. Bond prices improved from October through January, although they experienced a pullback in February on renewed inflation-related concerns. For the period as a whole, lower-credit-rated securities generally produced stronger returns than their investment-grade counterparts, while floating-rate instruments and structured credit significantly outperformed.

Allocations and Selections Enhance Fund Performance

The fund’s performance benefited from allocations on several fronts. Structured credit delivered the strongest absolute performance, with exposure focused primarily on BB rated, collateralized loan obligations issued in the United States and Europe. Global high-yield corporate debt, with holdings tilted toward the U.S. market, produced robust returns as well as the sector recovered from a difficult mid-2022 period. The sector provided the most significant boost to weighted returns due to the large size of the fund’s allocation. Positive issue selections representing attractive absolute and relative values further contributed to performance, led by positions in the telecommunications, manufacturing, retail and leisure sectors. Senior secured loans and other loans further added to the fund’s positive performance, modestly enhanced by increased exposure to European loans, where we found slightly more attractive values during most of the period. Special situations, which represented the fund’s smallest allocation, was the only area that did not markedly add to returns relative to the Index, providing mixed performance. Among the few positions that detracted from relative performance were the fund’s cash position and issue selection in a few sectors, including health care, building materials and, to a slight degree, financials.

Focusing on High-Conviction Investments

While inflationary pressures moderated somewhat during the reporting period, as of February 28, 2023, most of the world’s markets continue to face risks associated with high interest rates, particularly among developed economies, and challenges arising from actual and potential geopolitical conflict. Volatility lingers given the ongoing uncertainties regarding the trajectory of inflation and growth, and the impact of these trends on Fed policy. Given these conditions, we have focused the fund’s assets on the individual securities that fundamental analysis leads us to believe are positioned to weather these financial uncertainties. The fund continues to maintain a bias to floating-rate over fixed-rate securities, with significant exposure to structured credit and global bank loans.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (continued)

March 15, 2023

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, based upon net asset value per share or market price per share, as applicable. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Market price per share, net asset value per share and investment return fluctuate.

2  Annualized distribution rate per share is based upon dividends per share paid from net investment income during the period, divided by the market price per share at the end of the period, adjusted for any capital gain distributions.

3 Source: FactSet - The ICE BofA Global High Yield Index is a measure of the global high-yield debt market. The index represents the union of the U.S. high yield, the pan-European high yield and emerging-markets, hard currency, high yield indices. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

4 The objective to return at least the fund’s Original NAV is not an express or implied guarantee obligation of the fund, BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc., Alcentra NY LLC or any other entity, and an investor may receive less than the Original NAV upon termination of the fund. There is no assurance the fund will achieve either of its investment objectives and achieving its investment objectives will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions and the success of various portfolio strategies and cash flow management techniques. Based on market conditions as of the date of this report, management anticipates that the likelihood of the fund achieving its objective of returning its Original NAV upon termination of the fund has decreased substantially since the fund’s inception.

Bonds are subject generally to interest-rate, credit, liquidity and market risks, to varying degrees. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes and rate increases can cause price declines.

Recent market risks include pandemic risks related to COVID-19. The effects of COVID-19 have contributed to increased volatility in global markets and will likely affect certain countries, companies, industries and market sectors more dramatically than others. To the extent the fund may overweight its investments in certain countries, companies, industries or market sectors, such positions will increase the fund’s exposure to risk of loss from adverse developments affecting those countries, companies, industries or sectors.

High yield bonds are subject to increased credit risk and are considered speculative in terms of the issuer’s perceived ability to continue making interest payments on a timely basis and to repay principal upon maturity.

Credit risk is the risk that one or more credit instruments in the fund’s portfolio will decline in price or fail to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer of the instrument experiences a decline in its financial status.

Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) and other types of Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) are typically privately offered and sold, and thus are not registered under the securities laws. As a result, investments in CLOs and other types of CDOs may be characterized by the fund as illiquid securities. In addition to the general risks associated with credit instruments, CLOs and other types of CDOs carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) the possibility that the CLO or CDO is subordinate to other classes; and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

The Senior Secured Loans in which the fund invests typically will be below-investment-grade quality. Although, in contrast to other below-investment-grade instruments, Senior Secured Loans hold senior positions in the capital structure of a business entity, are secured with specific collateral and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the borrower that is senior to that held by unsecured creditors, subordinated debt holders and stockholders of the borrower, the risks associated with Senior Secured Loans are similar to the risks of below-investment-grade instruments. Although the Senior Secured Loans in which the fund invests will be secured by collateral, there can be no assurance that such collateral can be readily liquidated or that the liquidation of such collateral would satisfy the borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal. Additionally, if a borrower under a Senior Secured Loan defaults, becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy, the fund may recover only a fraction of what is owed on the Senior Secured Loan or nothing at all. In general, the secondary trading market for Senior Secured Loans is not fully developed. Illiquidity and adverse market conditions may mean that the fund may not be able to sell certain Senior Secured Loans quickly or at a fair price.

Subordinated Loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in Senior Secured Loans, except that such loans are subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority to first lien holders. Subordinated Loans are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and collateral securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior unsecured or senior secured obligations of the borrower. This risk is generally higher for subordinated, unsecured loans or debt, which are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral. Subordinated Loans generally have greater price volatility than Senior Secured Loans and may be less liquid.

The use of leverage magnifies the fund’s investment, market and certain other risks. For derivatives with a leverage component, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate or index can result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself.

The fund may, but is not required to, use derivative instruments. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the fund’s performance. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

BNY Mellon Alcentra Global Credit Income 2024 Target Term Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified closed-end management investment company. The fund has a limited term of approximately seven years. The fund’s investment objectives are to seek high current income and to return at least $9.835 (the “Original NAV”) per share of Common Share (the public offering price per Common Share after deducting a sales load of $0.165 per Common Share but before deducting offering costs of $0.02 per Common Share) to holders of record of Common Shares on or about December 1, 2024 (subject to certain extensions). The objective to return at least the fund’s Original NAV is not an express or implied guarantee obligation of the fund, BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. Alcentra NY, LLC or any other entity, and an investor may receive less than the Original NAV upon termination of the fund. There is no assurance the fund will achieve either of its investment objectives and achieving its investment objectives will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions and the success of various portfolio strategies and cash flow management techniques. Based on market conditions as of the date of this report, management anticipates that the likelihood of the fund achieving its objective of returning its Original NAV upon termination of the fund has decreased substantially since the fund’s inception.

BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Alcentra NY, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), serves as the fund’s sub-adviser. Prior to November 1, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Sub-Adviser served as the sub-adviser to the fund pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement (the “Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Prior to the Closing Date, the Sub-Adviser was an indirect subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser.

On May 30, 2022, BNY Mellon entered into a definitive agreement to sell all of its indirect equity interest in Alcentra Group Holdings, Inc., including its subsidiary the Sub-Adviser (the “Transaction”), to Franklin Resources, Inc., a global investment management organization operating as Franklin Templeton (“Franklin Templeton”). Franklin Templeton, through its specialist investment managers, offers boutique specialization on a global scale, bringing extensive capabilities in fixed income, equity, alternatives, and multi-asset solutions. The Transaction was completed on the Closing Date.

31

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

As a result of the Transaction, there was a “change in control” of the Sub-Adviser, which effected an assignment and automatic termination of the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement, pursuant to its terms and the applicable provisions of the Act, as of the Closing Date. Consequently, the fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) had approved a new sub-investment advisory agreement (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, with respect to the fund, and called a Special Meeting of Stockholders which was held on October 13, 2022 to seek stockholder approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. At the Special Meeting of Stockholders held on October 13, 2022, stockholders of the fund approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

There was no increase in the advisory fee payable by the fund to the Adviser as a consequence of the Transaction and the sub-advisory fee payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is the same as that payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser under the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement. The New Sub-Advisory Agreement is substantially similar in material respects to the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement and the fund’s investment strategy and management policies currently are not expected to change in connection with the implementation of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. The fund’s Common Shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker symbol DCF.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount 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 (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

The Board has designated the Adviser as the fund’s valuation designee, effective September 8, 2022, to make all fair value determinations with respect to the fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.

Investments in debt securities and floating rate loan interests, excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills), and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) are valued each business day by one or more independent pricing services (each, a “Service”) approved by the Board. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of a Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by a Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by a Service based upon its evaluation of

33

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

the market for such securities). Securities are valued as determined by a Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Services are engaged under the general supervision of the Board. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in equity securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. For open short positions, asked prices are used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a Service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Depository Receipts and futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to accurately reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

34

 

For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange.

Forward contracts are valued at the forward rate and are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 Securities deemed as Level 3 due to lack of significant observable inputs by management assessment.

(b) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions between trade and settlement date, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments resulting from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are also included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis. Interest income from investments in collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) equity is recorded based upon an effective yield to maturity utilizing assumed cash flows. The Adviser monitors the expected cash flows from its CLO equity investments and effective yield is determined

36

 

and adjusted as needed. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Adviser are considered “affiliated” under the Act.

(e) Market Risk: An investment in the fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire amount that you invest. Your investment in Common Shares represents an indirect investment in the credit instruments and other investments and assets owned by the fund. The value of the fund’s portfolio investments may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of the instruments in which the fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide. Recent examples include pandemic risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken world-wide in response by governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel and imposing prolonged quarantines of large populations, and by businesses, including changes to operations and reducing staff.

Credit Risk: The fund invests primarily in credit instruments, which are subject to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that one or more credit instruments in the fund’s portfolio will decline in price or fail to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer of the instrument experiences a decline in its financial status. Losses may occur because the market value of a credit instrument is affected by the creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness of the issuer and by general economic and specific industry conditions and the fund’s investments will often be subordinate to other debt in the issuer’s capital structure. Because the fund generally expects to invest a significant portion of its Managed Assets (as defined below) in below investment grade instruments, it will be exposed to a greater amount of credit risk than a fund which invests in investment grade securities. The prices of below investment grade instruments are more sensitive to negative developments, such as a decline in the issuer’s

37

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

revenues or a general economic downturn, than are the prices of investment grade instruments, which may reduce the fund's net asset value.

Floating Rate Loan Risk. Unlike publicly traded common stocks which trade on national exchanges, there is no central market or exchange for loans to trade. Loans trade in an over-the-counter market, and confirmation and settlement, which are effected through standardized procedures and documentation, may take significantly longer than seven days to complete. Extended trade settlement periods may, in unusual market conditions with a high volume of shareholder redemptions, present a risk to shareholders regarding the fund’s ability to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time periods. The secondary market for floating rate loans also may be subject to irregular trading activity and wide bid/ask spreads. The lack of an active trading market for certain floating rate loans may impair the ability of the fund to realize full value in the event of the need to sell a floating rate loan and may make it difficult to value such loans. There may be less readily available, reliable information about certain floating rate loans than is the case for many other types of securities, and the fund’s portfolio managers may be required to rely primarily on their own evaluation of a borrower’s credit quality rather than on any available independent sources. The value of collateral, if any, securing a floating rate loan can decline, and may be insufficient to meet the issuer’s obligations in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal or may be difficult to readily liquidate. In the event of the bankruptcy of a borrower, the fund could experience delays or limitations imposed by bankruptcy or other insolvency laws with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing a loan. The floating rate loans in which the fund invests typically will be below investment grade quality and, like other below investment grade securities, are inherently speculative. As a result, the risks associated with such floating rate loans are similar to the risks of below investment grade securities, although senior loans are typically senior and secured in contrast to other below investment grade securities, which are often subordinated and unsecured. Floating rate loans may not be considered to be “securities” for purposes of the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws, including those with respect to the use of material non-public information, so that purchasers, such as the fund, may not have the benefit of these protections.

Collaterlized Debt Obligations (“CDO”) Risk: The risks of an investment in a CDO, including a Collaterlized Bank Obligation or CLO, depend largely on the type of the collateral and the tranche of the CDO in which the fund invests. CDO tranches can experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to defaults due to collateral

38

 

default, market anticipation of defaults, as well as aversion to CDO securities as an asset class. In addition to the normal risks associated with credit-related securities discussed elsewhere in this prospectus (e.g., interest rate risk and default risk), investments in CDOs may be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to price than other types of investments.

Additional Information section within the annual report dated August 31, 2022, provides more details about the principal risk factors.

(f) Dividends and distributions to Common Shareholders: Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are normally declared and paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Common Shareholders will have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of the fund, unless such Common Shareholders elect to receive cash, at the lower of the market price or net asset value per share (but not less than 95% of the market price). If market price is equal to or exceeds net asset value, shares will be issued at net asset value. If net asset value exceeds market price, Computershare Inc., the transfer agent, will buy fund shares in the open market and reinvest those shares accordingly.

For the purpose of pursuing its investment objective of returning at least the Original NAV, the fund intends to retain a limited portion of its net investment income continuing until the final liquidating distribution. The fund also may retain a portion of its short-term capital gains and all or a portion of its long-term capital gains. The extent to which the fund retains income or capital gains, and the cumulative amount so retained, will depend on, among other things, prevailing market conditions, portfolio turnover and reinvestment and overall performance of the credit instruments held by the fund. Adjustments to the amounts of income retained and the resulting distribution rate will take into account, among other factors, the then-current projections of the fund’s net asset value on the Termination Date in the absence of income retention. The fund anticipates that the possibility of some credit losses combined with the potential for declines in income over the term of the fund, as the duration and weighted average maturity of the portfolio shorten, will likely result in successive reductions in distributions over the approximate seven-year

39

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

term of the fund. The timing and amounts of these reductions cannot be predicted. While the amounts retained would be included in the final liquidating distribution of the fund, the fund’s distribution rate over the term of the fund will be lower, and possibly significantly lower, than if the fund distributed substantially all of its net investment income and gains in each year. To the extent that the market price of Common Shares over time is influenced by the fund’s distribution rate, the reduction of the fund’s monthly distribution rate because of the retention of income is expected to negatively impact the market price of the Common Shares. Any such negative effect on the market price of the Common Shares may not be offset even though the fund’s net asset value and liquidating distribution would be higher as a result of retaining income. In the event that the fund elects to distribute all of its net investment income or gains (if any) in each year, rather than retaining such income or gains, there is an increased risk to Common Shareholders that the final liquidating distribution may be less than Original NAV.

On February 24, 2023, the Board declared a cash dividend of $.050 per share from undistributed net investment income, payable on March 24, 2023 to Common Shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 10, 2023. The ex-dividend date was March 9, 2023.

(g) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended February 28, 2023, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended February 28, 2023, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the three-year period ended August 31, 2022 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

The fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $4,992,843 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to August 31, 2022. The fund has

40

 

$190,828 of short-term capital losses and $4,802,015 of long-term capital losses which can be carried forward for an unlimited period.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 was as follows: ordinary income $8,997,622. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

(h) New accounting pronouncements: In 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting.

The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 is to provide temporary relief during the transition period. The FASB included a sunset provision within Topic 848 based on expectations of when the LIBOR would cease being published. At the time that Update 2020-04 was issued, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) had established its intent that it would no longer be necessary to persuade, or compel, banks to submit to LIBOR after December 31, 2021. As a result, the sunset provision was set for December 31, 2022—12 months after the expected cessation date of all currencies and tenors of LIBOR.

In March 2021, the FCA announced that the intended cessation date of the overnight 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month tenors of USD LIBOR would be June 30, 2023, which is beyond the current sunset date of Topic 848.

Because the current relief in Topic 848 may not cover a period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, the amendments in this Update defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024 (“FASB Sunset Date”), after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848.

Management had evaluated the impact of Topic 848 on the fund’s investments, derivatives, debt and other contracts that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the Reference Rate Reform. Management has no concerns in adopting Topic 848 by FASB Sunset Date. Management will continue to work with other financial institutions and counterparties to modify contracts as required by applicable regulation and within the regulatory deadlines.

NOTE 2—Borrowings:

The fund has a $68,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility Credit Agreement with Societe Generale (the “Agreement”), which terminates on December

41

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

31, 2024 (or the prior business day, as necessary). Under the terms of the Agreement, the fund may borrow (“Loans”) on collateralized basis. The interest to be paid by the fund on such Loans is determined with reference to the principal amount of each Loan outstanding from time to time. The fund also pays additional fees pursuant to the Agreement.

During the period ended February 28, 2023, total fees pursuant to the Agreement amounted to $1,369,606 inclusive of $1,250,237 of interest expense and $119,369 of loan fees. These fees are included in Interest expense and loan fees in the Statement of Operations.

The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Agreement during the period ended February 28, 2023 was $45,364,641 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 5.56%. The fund’s borrowings under the Agreement are secured by its portfolio holdings.

NOTE 3—Management Fee, Sub-Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a Management Agreement with the Adviser, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .85% of the value of the fund’s “Managed Assets” and is payable monthly. “Managed Assets” of the fund means the total assets of the fund, including any assets attributable to leverage (i.e., any loans from certain financial institutions and/or the issuance of debt securities (collectively, “Borrowings”), preferred stock or other similar preference securities (“Preferred Shares”), or the use of derivative instruments that have the economic effect of leverage), minus the fund’s accrued liabilities, other than any liabilities or obligations attributable to leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, Borrowings), (ii) the issuance of Preferred Shares, and/or (iii) any other means, all as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Pursuant to the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a fee at the annual rate of .425% of the value of the fund’s average daily Managed Assets and is payable monthly.

(b) The fund has an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the fund will receive interest income or be charged overdraft fees when cash balances are maintained. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes this interest income and overdraft fees, if any, as interest income in the Statement of Operations.

42

 

The fund compensates the Custodian under a custody agreement, for providing custodial services for the fund. These fees are determined based on net assets and transaction activity. During the period ended February 28, 2023, the fund was charged $138,424 pursuant to the custody agreement.

During the period ended February 28, 2023, the fund was charged $4,725 for services performed by the fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and his staff. These fees are included in Chief Compliance Officer fees in the Statement of Operations.

The components of “Due to BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fee of $107,835, Custodian fees of $180,000 and Chief Compliance Officer fees of $1,544.

(c) Each board member also serves as a board member of other funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and forward contracts, during the period ended February 28, 2023, amounted to $67,254,010 and $72,543,390, respectively.

Floating Rate Loan Interests: Floating rate instruments are loans and other securities with interest rates that adjust or “float” periodically. Floating rate loans are made by banks and other financial institutions to their corporate clients. The rates of interest on the loans adjust periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium or credit spread. Floating rate loans reset on periodic set dates, typically 30 to 90 days, but not to exceed one year. The fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.

The fund may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. The commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Statement of Investments. At February 28, 2023, the fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.

Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. The fund enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements or similar agreements (collectively, “Master Agreements”) with its over-

43

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

the-counter (“OTC”) derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties. Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under a Master Agreement, the fund may offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment in the event of default or termination. The SEC adopted Rule 18f-4 under the Act, which regulates the use of derivatives transactions for certain funds registered under the Act. The fund is deemed a “limited” derivatives user under the rule and is required to limit its derivatives exposure so that the total notional value of derivatives does not exceed 10% of fund’s net assets, and is subject to certain reporting requirements.

Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended February 28, 2023 is discussed below.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The fund enters into forward contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings, to settle foreign currency transactions or as a part of its investment strategy. When executing forward contracts, the fund is obligated to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future. With respect to sales of forward contracts, the fund incurs a loss if the value of the contract increases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates. With respect to purchases of forward contracts, the fund incurs a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates. Any realized or unrealized gains or losses which occurred during the period are reflected in the Statement of Operations. The fund is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund is also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance on these forward contracts, which is generally limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract. This risk may be mitigated by Master Agreements, if any, between the fund and the counterparty and the posting of collateral, if any, by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty. Forward Contracts open at February 28, 2023 are set forth in the Statement of Investments.

The provisions of ASC Topic 210 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” require disclosure on the offsetting of financial assets and

44

 

liabilities. These disclosures are required for certain investments, including derivative financial instruments subject to Master Agreements which are eligible for offsetting in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and require the fund to disclose both gross and net information with respect to such investments. For financial reporting purposes, the fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

At February 28, 2023, derivative assets and liabilities (by type) on a gross basis are as follows:
