Total Investments - 195.4% (d)					$	3,848,487	$	3,805,259	195.4	%

(a)    All of the Company's investments, except the investments noted by this footnote, are qualifying assets under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets. At September 30, 2024, qualifying assets represent 88.7% of the Company's total assets.

(b)    Securities exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (as defined below), and may be deemed to be “restricted securities”. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate fair value of these securities is $678.1 million or 34.8% of the Company’s net assets. The initial acquisition dates have been included for such securities.

(c) The Company's investment falls under the definition of a significant subsidiary, as it exceeded the threshold of at least one of the tests under Rule 4-08(g), or exceeded the threshold of at least one of the tests under Rule 3-09. See Note 3 for summarized financial information.

(d)    Percentages are based on net assets attributable to common stock as of September 30, 2024.

(e)    The fair value of investments with respect to securities for which market quotations are not readily available is determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors (as defined below) as required by the 1940 Act. Such investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).

(f)    All amounts are in thousands except share amounts.

(g)    Non-income producing at September 30, 2024.

(h)    Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded portion. The investment may be subject to an unused/letter of credit facility fee. The negative fair value, if applicable, is the result of the capitalized discount on the loan or the unfunded commitment being valued below par. The negative amortized cost, if applicable, is the result of the capitalized discount being greater than the principal amount outstanding on the loan. Please refer to Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies for additional details.

(i)    The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “S”), or Prime ("P") and which reset daily, monthly, quarterly, or semiannually. For each, the Company has provided the spread over the relevant reference rate and the current interest rate in effect at September 30, 2024. Certain investments are subject to reference rate floors. For fixed rate loans, a spread above a reference rate is not applicable. For floating rate securities, the all-in rate is disclosed within parentheses.

(j)     The investment is on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2024.

(k)    Unless otherwise indicated, all investments in the consolidated schedules of investments are non-affiliated, non-controlled investments.

(l)    The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments based on the level of control that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally presumed to be “non-controlled” when the Company owns 25% or less of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and/or does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. A company is generally presumed to be “controlled” when the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. The Company classifies this investment as “controlled”.

(m)    The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments further based on the level of ownership that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally deemed as "non-affiliated" when the Company owns less than 5% of a portfolio company's outstanding voting securities and "affiliated" when the Company owns 5% or more of a portfolio company's outstanding voting securities. The Company classifies this investment as "affiliated".

(n)    The Company's investment or a portion thereof is pledged as collateral under the JPM Credit Facility.

(o)    Unless otherwise indicated, all of the Company's investments or a portion thereof are pledged as collateral under the JPM Revolver Facility.

(p)    The Company's investment or a portion thereof is pledged as collateral under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility. Individual investments can be divided into parts which are pledged to separate credit facilities.

(q)    The Company's investment or a portion thereof is pledged as collateral under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. Individual investments can be divided into parts which are pledged to separate credit facilities.

(u) 40% of the Company’s investment is pledged as collateral under the total return swap agreement with Nomura.

Note 1 - Organization

Franklin BSP Capital Corporation (the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and 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 as a Delaware limited liability company on January 29, 2020 and converted to a Delaware corporation on September 23, 2020, pursuant to which Franklin BSP Capital Corporation succeeded to the business of Franklin BSP Capital L.L.C. The Company commenced investment operations on January 7, 2021.

The Company is managed by Franklin BSP Capital Adviser L.L.C. (the “Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. (“Benefit Street Partners” or “BSP”) pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Adviser oversees the management of the Company’s activities and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to the Company’s portfolio.

The Company’s investment objective is to generate both current income capital and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company invests primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. The Company defines middle market companies as those with EBITDA of between $25 million and $100 million annually, although the Company may invest in larger or smaller companies. The Company also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions.

The Company conducted a private placement of shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Each investor in the private placement made a capital commitment (the “Capital Commitments”) to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a subscription agreement (a “Subscription Agreement”). Investors were required to make capital contributions to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Drawdown Purchase Price”) each time the Company delivers a drawdown notice (the “Drawdown Notice”), which were delivered at least ten business days prior to the required funding date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed their respective Capital Commitments.

The Company also conducted a private placement of shares of its preferred stock designated as series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) in reliance on exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. See Note 10 - Preferred Stock for the terms of such preferred stock, including liquidation preference, distributions, and rights regarding conversion to shares of Common Stock.

On October 2, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Franklin BSP Lending Corporation, a Maryland corporation ("FBLC"), Franklin BSP Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, the Adviser. The Merger Agreement provides details on the purpose of the Mergers (as defined below) and sets forth that, subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), Merger Sub merged with and into FBLC (the "Merger"), with FBLC continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Immediately after the Effective Time, FBLC merged with and into the Company (together with the Merger, the "Mergers"), with the Company continuing as the surviving company. See Note 17 – Merger with FBLC for additional information about the Mergers. FBLC was managed by Franklin BSP Lending Adviser, L.L.C., a subsidiary of BSP since 2016.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, both normal and recurring which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for the periods presented. The Company is an investment company and accordingly applies specific accounting and financial reporting requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies.

We have also formed and expect to continue to form consolidated subsidiaries (the "Consolidated Holding Companies"). The Company consolidates the following subsidiaries for accounting purposes: FBCC EEF Holdings LLC, FBCC Jupiter Funding, LLC (“Jupiter Funding”), FBLC Funding I, LLC (“Funding I”), FBLC 57th Street Funding, LLC ("57th Street") and 54th Street Equity Holdings, Inc. The Company owns 100% of the equity of Kahala Aviation Holdings, LLC and Kahala Aviation US, Inc., which are consolidated for accounting purposes. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior to October 4, 2023, the Company also consolidated FBCC Lending I, LLC. Refer to Note 5 - Borrowings for additional information.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation

As provided under ASC 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a substantially or wholly-owned investment company or controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the accounts of the Company's substantially wholly-owned subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements. Although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC, ("SLF"), the Company does not have sole control over significant actions of SLF for purposes of the 1940 Act or otherwise, and thus does not consolidate its interest.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

Portfolio investments are reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. The board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) has delegated to the Adviser as valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) the responsibility of determining the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio, subject to oversight of the Board of Directors, pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As such, the Valuation Designee is charged with determining the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio, subject to oversight of the Board of Directors. On a quarterly basis, the Valuation Designee performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as follows:

Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Valuation Designee may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Valuation Designee determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined to be readily available, the Valuation Designee uses the quote obtained.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

For the period ended September 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Valuation Designee may take into account in fair value pricing the Company's investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Valuation Designee undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

•Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by the Valuation Designee, with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by the Company's Board of Directors; and

•The independent valuation firm(s) conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and

•The Valuation Designee, under the supervision of the Board of Directors, determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of independent valuation firms (to the extent applicable) and the Valuation Designee’s own analysis. The Valuation Designee also has established a valuation committee to assist the Valuation Designee in carrying out its designated responsibilities, subject to oversight of the Board of Directors.

For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Valuation Designee measures the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC 946, as of the Company's measurement date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sell such investment at a price equal to its net asset value per share and the Company may ultimately sell such investment at a discount to its net asset value per share.

The Company’s investments in funds that offer periodic liquidity have redemption frequencies which range from monthly to quarterly and redemption notice periods which range from 30 to 90 days. Investments in private equity typically do not offer liquidity and instead, capital is returned through periodic distributions.

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in its portfolio, the Valuation Designee values substantially all of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company's investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

Investment Classification

The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “Control” is defined as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. In addition, any person who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of a company and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company shall be presumed to control such company. Typically, any person who does not so own more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of any company and/or does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company shall be presumed not to control such company. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Affiliated Investments” are defined as those investments in companies in which the Company owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Non-affiliated Investments” are defined as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliated Investments.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and short-term, liquid investments in a money market deposit account. Restricted cash is collected and held by the trustee who has been appointed as custodian of the assets securing certain of the Company's financing transactions. Restricted cash is held by the trustees for payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings or reinvestment into new assets. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization costs consist of costs incurred to establish the Company and enable it legally to do business. Organization costs are expensed as incurred. Offering costs consist of costs incurred in connection with the offering of common shares of the Company. Offering costs are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the commencement of operations.

The Company will bear the organization and offering expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the offering of shares of its Common Stock, including the out-of-pocket expenses of the Adviser and its agents and affiliates. In addition, the Company will reimburse the Adviser for the organization and offering costs it incurs on the Company’s behalf. If actual organization and offering costs incurred exceed the greater of $1 million or 0.10% of the Company’s total capital commitments, the Adviser or its affiliate will bear the excess costs. To the extent the Company’s capital commitments later increase, the Adviser or its affiliates may be reimbursed for past payments of excess organization and offering costs made on the Company’s behalf provided that the total organization and offering costs borne by the Company do not exceed 0.10% of total capital commitments and provided further that the Adviser or its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization and offering expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to the proposed reimbursement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, there were no reimbursements from the Adviser.

In connection with the Company’s private placement of shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company incurred various offering costs. These costs are capitalized as a deferred cost and included within redeemable convertible preferred stock Series A on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as the preferred shares are issued. The costs are not subject to reimbursement from the Adviser.

Deferred Financing Costs

Financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s unsecured notes and revolving credit facilities are capitalized and amortized into expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective yield method over the life of the respective facility. See Note 5 - Borrowings.

Convertible Preferred Stock

We record shares of convertible preferred stock based on proceeds received net of offering costs on the date of issuance. Redeemable preferred stock (including preferred stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity and is reported separately from liabilities and net assets attributable to common stock within the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Distributions

The Company’s Board of Directors authorizes and declares cash distributions payable on a quarterly basis to stockholders of record on each record date. The amount of each such distribution is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. The Company calculates each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the quarter using record and declaration dates. From time to time, the Company may also pay interim distributions, including capital gains distributions, at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s distributions may exceed earnings, especially during the period before it has substantially invested the proceeds from the offering. As a result, a portion of the distributions made by the Company may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is a return of each stockholder’s investment rather than earnings or gains derived from the Company’s investment activities.

The Company may fund cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including advances from the Adviser that are subject to reimbursement, as well as offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. See Note 14 - Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders for additional information.

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments.

The Company has a number of investments in Collateralized Securities. Interest income from investments in the “equity” class of these Collateralized Securities (in the Company's case, preferred shares or subordinated notes) is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows, in accordance with ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets ("ASC 325-40"). The Company monitors the expected cash inflows from its equity investments in Collateralized Securities, including the expected principal repayments. The effective yield is determined and updated quarterly. When the Company determines that a CLO's cash flows will not be recovered, the amortized cost basis of the CLO is written down as of the date of the determination based on events and information evaluated and that write-down is recognized as a realized loss.

Dividend Income

Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.

Dividend income from SLF is recorded on accrual basis once dividends are declared by SLF's board of directors. Distributions from SLF are evaluated at the time of distribution to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profit in SLF prior to distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

Fee Income

Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment, termination, and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as income when earned, either upon receipt or amortized into income. Upon the re-payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and other upfront fees are recorded as income.

Payment-in-Kind Interest/Dividends

The Company may hold debt and equity investments in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and dividend provisions. PIK interest and PIK dividends, which represent contractually deferred interest or dividends that add to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, are recorded on accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected.

Non-Accrual Income

Investments may be placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest, which may include un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current.

Net Realized Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

Gain or loss on the sale of investments is calculated using the specific identification method. The Company measures realized gain or loss by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when a gain or loss is realized.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes in respect of each taxable year if it distributes dividends for federal income tax purposes to stockholders of an amount generally equal to at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income”, as defined in the Code, and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to twelve months after the previous tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year in determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its ability to be subject to be taxed as a RIC each year. The Company may be subject to federal excise tax imposed at a rate of 4% on certain undistributed amounts.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Company did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. See Note 14 - Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders for additional information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the ASU requires specific disclosures related to the title and position of the individual (or the name of the group or committee) identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”); and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, under a retrospective approach. The Company is assessing the impact of the new ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s fair value measurements are classified into a fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, if any, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

•Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.

•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter.

For investments for which Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices, were not available at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the investments were valued at fair value as determined in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board of Directors using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company's investments are trading, in determining fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the estimate of fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 may differ materially from values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the valuation policy approved by the Board of Directors. Portfolio investments are reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis the Company performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as described below.

Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, the Company uses the quote obtained.

Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Valuation Designee may take into account in fair value pricing the Company's investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.

For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Valuation Designee measures the fair value of the investment predominately based on the net asset value per share of the investment fund if the net asset value of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC Topic 946, as of the Company's measurement date.

For investments in Collateralized Securities, the Valuation Designee models both the assets and liabilities of each Collateralized Securities' capital structure. The model uses a waterfall engine to store the collateral data, generate cash flows from the assets, and distribute the cash flows to the liability structure based on the contractual priority of payments. The cash flows are discounted using rates that incorporate risk factors such as default risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk, among others. In addition, the Valuation Designee considers broker quotations and/or comparable trade activity, which are considered as inputs to determining fair value when available.

As part of the Company's quarterly valuation process, the Valuation Designee may be assisted by one or more independent valuation firms. The Valuation Designee under the supervision of the Board of Directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the independent valuation firm(s) (to the extent applicable) and the Valuation Designee’s own analysis.

Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to the consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on the consolidated financial statements.

For discussion of the fair value measurement of the Company's borrowings, refer to Note 5 - Borrowings.

(c) This instrument(s) was held at cost.

There were no significant changes in valuation approach or technique as of December 31, 2023.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category include investments in privately held entities where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

Increases or decreases in any of the above unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement for such assets.

The income and market approaches were used in the determination of fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The significant unobservable inputs used in the income approach are the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. An increase in the discount rate or market yield would result in a decrease in the fair value. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates is risk of default, rating of the investment, call provisions and comparable company investments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the market approach are based on market comparable transactions and market multiples of publicly traded comparable companies. Increases or decreases in market comparable transactions or market multiples would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

Valuations of loans, corporate debt, and other debt obligations are generally based on discounted cash flow techniques, for which the significant inputs are the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, market yields and recovery assumptions. The significant inputs are generally determined based on relative value analysis, which incorporate comparisons to other debt instruments for which observable prices or broker quotes are available. Other valuation methodologies are used as appropriate including market comparables, transactions in similar instruments and recovery/liquidation analysis. The Company also considers the use of EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples, tangible net asset value multiples, TBV multiples, and other relevant multiples on its debt and equity investments to determine any credit gains or losses in certain instances. Increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the respective subject instrument.

As of September 30, 2024 the Company had seven portfolio companies on non-accrual with a total amortized cost of $59.1 million and fair value of $42.9 million, which represented 1.5% and 1.1% of the investment portfolio's total amortized cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no portfolio companies on non-accrual status. The increase of portfolio companies on non-accrual status was partially a result of the Mergers; whereby, the Company acquired FBLC’s assets, including its non-accrual assets.

SLF invests primarily in senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent may invest in mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. SLF was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is not consolidated by the Company for financial reporting purposes. The Company provides capital to SLF in the form of LLC equity interests. At formation, FBLC and CCLF owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. On July 2, 2024, the Company contributed $100.0 million of additional capital into SLF. As of September 30, 2024, the Company and CCLF owned 84.0% and 16.0%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. Profit and loss are allocated based on each members' ownership percentage of the joint venture's net asset value. SLF has an Administrative and Loan Services Agreement with BSP, an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to which BSP provides certain operational and valuation services for SLF's investments; as well as certain agreements with third-party service providers. The Company and CCLF each appoint two members to SLF's four-person board of members. All material decisions with respect to SLF, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of members. Quorum is defined as (i) the presence of two members of the board of members; provided that at least one individual is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each member; (ii) the presence of three members of the board of members; provided that the individual that was elected, designated or appointed by the member with only one individual present shall be entitled to cast two votes on each matter; and (iii) the presence of four members of the board of members; provided that two individuals are present that were elected, designated or appointed by each member.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s investment in SLF consisted of equity contributions of $404.9 million. The Company’s investment in SLF is classified as “Equity/Other” on the consolidated schedules of investments, and other disclosures unless otherwise indicated.

Investment Advisory Agreement

On October 2, 2023, the Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement (the “Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement”) of the Investment Advisory Agreement, dated September 23, 2020, by and between the Company and the Adviser. The Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement went into effect on January 24, 2024 when the Mergers closed.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser a fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of two components - a base management fee (the “Management Fee”) and an incentive fee, which consists of two components (together, the “Incentive Fee”).

Each of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Advisory Agreement are discussed further below.

Management Fee

The Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, where gross assets includes the total assets of the Company, including any borrowings for investment purposes.

Prior to the Mergers, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Management Fee for each quarter was calculated as follows:

Prior to a liquidity event, the Management Fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement was calculated at an annual rate of 0.5% of the Company’s average gross assets. A “1iquidity event” is defined as any of: (1) a merger or another transaction approved by the Board of Directors in which the Company’s stockholders will receive cash or shares of a publicly traded company (or a company that becomes publicly traded concurrently with the closing of such transaction), which may include an entity advised by the Adviser or its affiliates, (2) an initial public offering (“IPO”) or a listing (an “Exchange Listing”) of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange, or (3) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either on a complete portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation.

After a liquidity event, the Management Fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement was calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Company’s average gross assets, provided, that the Management Fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Company’s average gross assets purchased with borrowed funds above 1.0x debt-to-equity (equivalent to $1 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity), and provided further that for a period of 15 months commencing on the date of the closing of a liquidity event, the Adviser will irrevocably waive Management Fees in excess of 0.5% of the Company’s average gross assets. Any fees waived under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not subject to reimbursement to the Adviser.

Under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, effective upon the closing of the Mergers on January 24, 2024, (i) the Management Fee increased to an annual rate of 1.50% of the Company’s average gross assets, provided, that the Management Fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Company’s average gross assets purchased with borrowed funds above 1.0x debt-to-equity (equivalent to $1.0 of debt outstanding for each $1.0 of equity).

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $14.6 million and $1.1 million was payable to the Adviser for Management Fees, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $14.6 million and $38.9 million, respectively, in Management Fees under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Advisory Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $1.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in Management Fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Incentive Fee

The Company will also pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee consisting of two parts, which are described below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Adviser waived all Incentive Fees for the period from January 7, 2021 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2023.

The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part is referred to as the “incentive fee on income” and it is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter.

“Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, other than fees for providing managerial assistance, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (as defined below) and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. For purposes of computing the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, the calculation methodology will look through total return swaps as if the Company owned the referenced assets directly.

Prior to the Mergers, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the incentive fee on income for each quarter was calculated as follows:

•No incentive fee on income in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the preferred return rate of 1.50%, or 6.00% annualized (the “Preferred Return”), on net assets;

•100% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Preferred Return but is less than or equal to 1.765% in any calendar quarter (7.06% annualized). This portion of the incentive fee on income is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 15% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 1.765% (7.06% annualized) in any calendar quarter; and

•For any quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 1.765% (7.06% annualized), the incentive fee on income equals 15% of the amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as the Preferred Return and catch-up will have been achieved.

Prior to the Mergers, for any period ending after the closing of a liquidity event, the incentive fee on income for each quarter was calculated as follows:

•No incentive fee on income in any calendar quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Preferred Return of 1.50%, or 6.00% annualized, on net assets;

•100% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Preferred Return but is less than or equal to 1.8175% in any calendar quarter (7.27% annualized), which portion of the incentive fee on income is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 17.5% on all of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 1.8175% (7.27% annualized) in any calendar quarter; and

•For any quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 1.8175% (7.27% annualized), the incentive fee on income equals 17.5% of the amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as the Preferred Return and catch-up will have been achieved.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a period of 15 months commencing on the date of the closing of a liquidity event, the Adviser will irrevocably waive any incentive fee on income otherwise payable in excess of any amounts calculated at the pre-IPO or pre-Exchange Listing rates. Any fees waived under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not subject to reimbursement to the Adviser.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

For the period ended September 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

Under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, effective upon the closing of the Mergers on January 24, 2024, the incentive fee on income increased to a catch-up of 1.8175% (7.27% annualized) and 17.5% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the catch-up, with the preferred return to investors each quarter remaining the same as under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any amortization or accretion to interest income resulting solely from merger-related accounting adjustments in connection with the assets acquired in the Mergers.

As of September 30, 2024, $9.2 million was payable to the Adviser for the incentive fee on income. As of December 31, 2023, there was no payable to the Adviser for incentive fee on income.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $8.8 million and $26.8 million in incentive fees on income under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $2.1 million and $6.0 million in incentive fees on income under the Investment Advisory Agreement, none of which was payable to the Adviser.

The second part of the incentive fee, referred to as the “incentive fee on capital gains during operations,” is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on cumulative realized capital gains of the Company net of cumulative realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, if earlier). Prior to the Mergers, and prior to a liquidity event, this fee equaled 15% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals realized capital gains of the Company on a cumulative basis from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains during operations. Following a liquidity event, the incentive fee on capital gains during operations equals 17.5% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains calculated as described above, on a cumulative basis from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC.

Under the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, effective upon the closing of the Mergers on January 24, 2024, the incentive fee on capital gains increased to 17.5% of our incentive fee capital gains calculated as under the Investment Advisory Agreement for periods ending after the date of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, on a cumulative basis from the date of our election to be regulated as a BDC. In addition, the calculation of realized capital gains, realized capital losses and unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation does not include any such amounts resulting solely from merger-related accounting adjustments in connection with the assets acquired in the Mergers.

U.S. GAAP requires that the incentive fee accrual be calculated assuming a hypothetical liquidation of the Company based upon investments held at the end of each period. In such a calculation, in order to calculate the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee in accordance with U.S. GAAP for a given period, the Company includes unrealized appreciation in calculating the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee even though such unrealized appreciation is not included in calculating the capital gains incentive fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. There can be no assurance that such unrealized appreciation will be realized in the future. Accordingly, the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee, as calculated and accrued in accordance with U.S. GAAP, does not necessarily represent amounts that will be payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not accrue incentive fees on capital gains in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Administration Agreement

The Company entered into an administration agreement with Benefit Street Partners (the “Administration Agreement”), pursuant to which Benefit Street Partners (in such capacity, the “Administrator”) provides the Company with office facilities and certain administrative services necessary for the Company to conduct its business.

The Company reimburses BSP quarterly for all administrative costs and expenses incurred by the Adviser in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities under the Administration Agreement and annually for overhead expenses incurred in the course of performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, travel, and the allocable portion of the cost of the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs, including operations and tax professionals, and administrative staff providing support services in respect of the Company. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $2.5 million and $1.2 million was payable to BSP under the Administration Agreement, respectively, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in administrative service fees under the Administration Agreement, which are included in the other general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in administrative service fees under the Administration Agreement, which are included in the other general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations.

Co-Investment Relief

The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from entering into negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC. The SEC staff has granted the Company exemptive relief that allows it to enter into certain negotiated co-investment transactions alongside with other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates (“Affiliated Funds”) in a manner consistent with its investment objective, positions, policies, strategies, and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions (the “Order”). Pursuant to the Order, the Company is permitted to co-invest with its affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of its eligible directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and the Company’s stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Company or the Company’s stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and is consistent with the Company’s investment objective and strategies.

Note 5 - Borrowings

In accordance with the 1940 Act, the Company is allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, calculated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. The Company’s asset coverage requirement applicable to senior securities was reduced from 200% to 150% effective September 23, 2020. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the senior securities issued by the Company was $2.0 billion and the Company’s asset coverage was 198%.

MS Credit Facility

On March 15, 2021, the Company, FBCC Lending I, LLC, a wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary of the Company (“FBCC Lending”), and the Adviser, as the servicer, entered into a loan and servicing agreement (together with the other documents executed in connection therewith, the “MS Credit Facility”) with Morgan Stanley Asset Funding, Inc. as administrative agent, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., as the lender, and U.S. Bank National Association as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian, that provides for borrowings of up to $100.0 million on a committed basis. Obligations under the MS Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of FBCC Lending, including its portfolio of investments and the Company’s equity interest in FBCC Lending. The obligations of FBCC Lending under the MS Credit Facility are nonrecourse to the Company. Any amounts borrowed under the MS Credit Facility will mature, and will be due and payable, on the maturity date, which is March 15, 2025. Prior to the Third Amendment (defined below), borrowings under the MS Credit Facility bore interest at three-month LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of zero, plus a spread of 2.25%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. FBCC Lending is subject to a non-usage fee of 0.50% on the difference between total commitments and the greater of the (i) drawn amounts and (ii) minimum utilization requirement, and, in addition, after the ramp-up period, FBCC Lending would pay interest on undrawn amounts up to the minimum utilization requirement under the MS Credit Facility if drawn amounts are less than such minimum utilization requirement. The Company paid an upfront fee and incurred other customary costs and expenses in connection with the MS Credit Facility.

On July 1, 2021, FBCC Lending amended the MS Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum permissible borrowings under the MS Credit Facility from $100.0 million to $200.0 million on a committed basis (the “First Amendment”).

Following the Third Amendment, borrowings under the MS Credit Facility bear interest at Adjusted Term SOFR, with an Adjusted Term SOFR floor of zero, plus a spread of 2.00%. FBCC Lending is subject to non-usage fee of 0.50% on the difference between total commitments and the greater of the (i) drawn amounts and (ii) minimum utilization requirement, and, in addition after the ramp-up period, FBCC Lending would pay interest on undrawn amounts up to the minimum utilization requirement under the MS Credit Facility, at three month SOFR floor of zero, plus spread of 1.125%, if drawn amounts are less than such minimum utilization requirement. The entire facility is subject to a 0.25% administrative agent fee.

The Company relied upon these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the Initial Purchaser. The 2024 Notes Purchase Agreement also includes customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company. Under the terms of the 2024 Notes Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchaser against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The 2024 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2024 Notes were approximately $98.4 million, after deducting the Initial Purchaser’s discounts and commissions of approximately $1.2 million and estimated offering expenses of approximately $0.4 million, each payable by the Company. The Company used the net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness, to make investments in portfolio companies in accordance with its investment objectives, and for general corporate purposes. The 2024 Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of December 19, 2017 (the “2017 Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, and a Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 5, 2019, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association.

The 2024 Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior liabilities that are not so subordinated, effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles, or similar facilities, including credit facilities entered into by the Company’s wholly owned, special purpose financing subsidiaries. The 2017 Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to (i) comply with the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act, whether or not it is subject to those requirements, and (ii) provide financial information to the holders of the 2024 Notes and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

The Company used the net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness, to make investments in portfolio companies in accordance with its investment objectives, and for general corporate purposes. The Restricted 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of March 29, 2021 (the “2021 Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”), and a Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 29, 2021 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.

The 2021 Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to (i) comply with the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act, whether or not it is subject to those requirements, and (ii) provide financial information to the holders of the 2026 Notes and the Trustee if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the 2021 Indenture. In addition, if a change of control repurchase event, as defined in the 2021 Indenture, occurs prior to maturity, holders of the 2026 Notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash some or all of the 2026 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form N-14 (File No. 333-257321), on September 22, 2021, holders of the Restricted 2026 Notes were offered the opportunity to exchange their Restricted 2026 Notes for new registered notes with substantially identical terms (the “Unrestricted 2026 Notes” and, together with the Restricted 2026 Notes, the “2026 Notes”), through which holders representing 99.88% of the outstanding principal of the then Restricted 2026 Notes obtained Unrestricted 2026 Notes.

Short-term Borrowings

From time to time, the Company finances the purchase of certain investments through repurchase agreements. In the repurchase agreements, the Company enters into a trade to sell an investment and contemporaneously enter into a trade to buy the same investment back on a specified date in the future with the same counterparty. Investments sold under repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized borrowings as the sale of the investment does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860—Transfers and Servicing and remains as an investment on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company uses repurchase agreements as a short-term financing alternative. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no short-term borrowings outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded no interest expense in connection with short-term borrowings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in connection with short-term borrowings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not have short term borrowings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had an average outstanding balance of short-term borrowings of $27.1 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 0.02%.

Secured Borrowings

On August 21, 2023, the Company entered into a total return swap (“TRS”) with Nomura. A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. The Company pays interest to Nomura for each loan at a rate equal to three-month SOFR plus 3.60% per annum. On April 24, 2024, the rate was amended to three-month SOFR plus 2.80% per annum. Upon the termination or repayment of any loan under the TRS, the Company will either receive from Nomura the appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Nomura any depreciation in the value of such loan. The scheduled termination date for the TRS is February 17, 2025. The Company may terminate the TRS prior to February 17, 2025 upon the occurrence of certain events but in certain circumstances may be required to pay certain termination fees.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all total return swaps on the Nomura TRS were entered into contemporaneously with the Company’s sale of their reference assets. Due to the Company’s continuing involvement in these assets, these assets are not derecognized under ASC Topic 860 -- Transfers and Servicing, and are presented on the consolidated schedule of investments. Financing amounts related to these assets are presented as secured borrowings on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Any margin paid to the counterparty under the terms of the TRS agreement is included in the “Due from broker” on the Company’s consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

The TRS is subject to the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies. The rule requires that the Company trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations subject to a value-at-risk leverage limit and certain derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. Generally, these requirements apply unless the Company qualifies as a “limited derivatives user,” as defined in the rule, in which case certain exceptions to these conditions would apply. The Company may qualify as a limited derivatives user if it adopts and implements written policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Company's derivatives risk and the Company's derivatives exposure does not exceed 10 percent of the Company's net assets as calculated in accordance with the rule.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had secured borrowings outstanding of $30.8 million and $33.3 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively in connection with secured borrowings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in connection with secured borrowings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had an average outstanding balance of secured borrowings of $31.3 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 6.39%. For the period August 21, 2023 through September 30, 2023, the Company had an average outstanding balance of secured borrowings of $24.1 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 8.98%.

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, due to affiliates, accounts payable, short-term borrowings, and secured borrowings approximate their carrying value on the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities due to their short-term nature.

At September 30, 2024, the carrying amount of the Company's secured borrowings approximated their fair value. The fair values of the Company's debt obligations are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Company's borrowings is estimated based upon market interest rates for the Company's own borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's borrowings would be deemed to be Level 3, as defined in Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) pursuant to which all cash dividends or distributions (“Distributions”) declared by the Board of Directors are reinvested on behalf of investors who do not elect to receive their Distributions in cash (the “Participants”). As a result, if the Board of Directors declares a Distribution, then stockholders who have not elected to “opt out” of the DRIP will have their Distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price equal to net asset value (“NAV”) per share as estimated in good faith by the Company on the payment date. The timing and amount of Distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.

The following table reflects the Common Stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:

Note 10 – Preferred Stock

On August 25, 2021, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock, which designates a total of 50.0 million shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. On the same day, the Company entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Preferred Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors, pursuant to which the investors made new capital commitments (the “Preferred Capital Commitments”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has received total Preferred Capital Commitments of $77.5 million. Pursuant to their respective Preferred Subscription Agreements, each investor is required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of the Series A Preferred Stock up to the amount of their respective capital commitments on an as-needed basis, upon a minimum of 10 business days prior notice at a per-share price equal to the liquidation preference (the “Liquidation Preference”). The sale and issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder. The Company shall rely, in part, upon representations from the Investors in the relevant Preferred Subscription Agreements that each Investor is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.

As of September 30, 2024, there were 50.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized, par value $0.001 per share, of which 77,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2023, there were 50.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized, par value $0.001 per share, of which 77,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. No shares outstanding of Series A Preferred Stock are redeemable before December 31, 2026.

Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a Liquidation Preference of $1,000.00 per share plus all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon. With respect to distributions, including the payment of dividends and distribution of the Company’s assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series A Preferred Stock will be senior to shares of Common Stock, will rank on parity with any other class or series of preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its certificate of incorporation, whether such class or series is now existing or is created in the future, to the extent of the aggregate Liquidation Preference, which amount includes all accrued but unpaid dividends and will be subordinate to the rights of holders of our senior indebtedness.

Dividends are payable on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock quarterly in arrears at a rate equal to (1) for each fiscal quarter ending on or before September 30, 2022 (the “Initial Dividend Period”), the dividends that would have been paid in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock if it had been converted into a share of the Company’s Common Stock, on the first day of such quarter (or the date of issuance in the case of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued after the first day of such quarter) at the applicable Conversion Rate (as defined below) and (2) for each quarter after the Initial Dividend Period, the greater of (i) an amount equal to $10.00 per share, subject to proration if such share is not outstanding for the full quarter, and (ii) the dividends that would have been paid in respect of such share of Series A Preferred Stock if it had been converted into a share of Common Stock on the first day of such quarter (or the date of issuance in the case of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued after the first day of such quarter) at the applicable Conversion Rate.

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible (a) by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time commencing on the closing date of a liquidity event, as defined by the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of Franklin BSP Capital Corporation, dated September 2020, or (b) by the holders thereof at any time commencing six months following the closing date of a liquidity event, in each case, into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (1) the Liquidation Preference divided by (2) the price paid by investors for shares of Common Stock at the time of the purchase of such share of Series A Preferred Stock or if the purchase of such share of Series A Preferred Stock did not occur concurrent with a sale of Common Stock by the Company at the net asset value per share of Common Stock determined within 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) of the purchase of such share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Rate”). The Company has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at any time, and from time to time, on or after August 23, 2029 upon 90 days prior notice to holders of Series A Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, a liquidity event had not commenced.

The holders of the Preferred Stock are generally entitled to vote with the holders of the shares of Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote to the common stockholders (voting together with the holders of shares of Common Stock as one class) on an as-converted basis, subject to certain limitations.

Note 11 - Share Repurchase Program

The Company intends to conduct annual tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program (“SRP”). The Company’s Board of Directors considers the following factors in making its determination regarding whether to cause the Company to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:

• the effect of such repurchases on the Company's qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);

• the liquidity of the Company's assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);

• the Company's investment plans and working capital requirements;

• the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company's size;

• the Company's history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof;

• the condition of the securities markets.

The Company intends to continue to limit the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar year to the lesser of (i) 10% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year or (ii) the number of shares of common stock the Company is able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during the relevant redemption period. In addition, in the event of a stockholder’s death or disability, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accept up to the full amount tendered by such stockholder of the current net asset value per share. Any repurchases of shares made in connection with a stockholder’s death or disability may be included within the overall limitation imposed on tender offers during the relevant redemption period, which provides that the Company may limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any redemption period to the number of shares of common stock the Company is able to repurchase with the proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock under the DRIP during such redemption period. The Company’s most recent tender offer was oversubscribed.

Note 12 - Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which considers participating securities as a separate class of shares. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for common stock according to dividends distributed and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s participating securities consist of its Series A Preferred Stock. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders, adjusted to exclude earnings allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase in net assets per share resulting from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Note 14 — Income Tax Information and Distributions to Stockholders

The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. Generally, a RIC is exempt from federal income taxes if it meets, certain quarterly asset diversification requirements, annual income tests, and distributes to stockholders its ‘‘investment company taxable income,’’ as defined in the Code, each taxable year. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to one year after the previous tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its RIC status each year. The Company may also be subject to federal excise taxes of 4%.

A RIC is limited in its ability to deduct expenses in excess of its “investment company taxable income” (which is, generally, ordinary income plus net realized short-term capital gains in excess of net realized long-term capital losses). If the Company's expenses in a given taxable year exceed gross taxable income (e.g., as the result of large amounts of equity-based compensation), it would incur a net operating loss for that year. However, a RIC is not permitted to carry forward net operating losses to subsequent taxable years and such net operating losses do not pass through to the RIC’s stockholders. In addition, deductible expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain. A RIC may not use any net capital losses (that is, realized capital losses in excess of realized capital gains) to offset the RIC’s investment company taxable income, but may carry forward such net capital losses, and use them to offset capital gains indefinitely. Due to these limits on the deductibility of expenses and net capital losses, the Company may for tax purposes have aggregate taxable income for several taxable years that it is required to distribute and that is taxable to stockholders even if such taxable income is greater than the aggregate net income the Company actually earned during those taxable years. Such required distributions may be made from the Company cash assets or by liquidation of investments, if necessary. The Company may realize gains or losses from such liquidations. In the event the Company realizes net capital gains from such transactions, the Company may make a larger capital gain distribution than it would have made in the absence of such transactions.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, for excise tax purposes the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and incur a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.

The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”), nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company’s current tax year, 2023, 2022, and 2021 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are expected to have net operating losses and unrealized gains. As a result, the Company has deferred tax assets of $35.4 million and deferred tax liabilities of $(50.2) million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2024, deferred tax assets have been offset by valuation allowances of $0.5 million.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s domestic subsidiary had a net operating loss and unrealized gain. As a result, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $6.0 million and a deferred tax liability of $(7.6) million. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The future realization of the tax benefits of existing deductible temporary differences or carryforwards ultimately depend on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the carryback (if permitted under the tax law) and carryforward periods. The Company has concluded future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences is sufficient to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not necessary as of December 31, 2023. As a result, no valuation allowance was recorded for the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023.

The deferred tax asset valuation allowance, if applicable, has been determined pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, including the Company's estimation of future taxable income, if necessary, and is adequate to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

Note 17 - Merger with FBLC

On January 24, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of FBLC. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was first merged with and into FBLC, with FBLC continuing as the surviving company, and, immediately following the Merger, FBLC was then merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, each outstanding share of FBLC's common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.4647 shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of the Mergers, the Company issued an aggregate of 110.0 million shares of its common stock to FBLC stockholders.

    The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition of FBLC by the Company in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the fair value of total consideration paid, including transaction costs, in conjunction with the Mergers allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of the Mergers. Generally, under asset acquisition accounting, acquiring assets in groups not only requires ascertaining the cost of the asset (or net assets), but also allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. The cost of the group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values of net identifiable assets acquired other than certain “non-qualifying” assets (for example cash) and does not give rise to goodwill. As a result, the purchase price premium was allocated to the cost basis of the FBLC investments acquired by the Company on a pro-rata basis based on their relative fair values as of the effective time of the Merger. The Company will be the accounting survivor of the Mergers. The purchase premium allocated to the debt investments acquired will amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to equity investments acquired will not amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired. The Merger constitutes an integrated plan of the type contemplated in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 2001-46 and will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The Company has carried forward the historical cost basis of FBLC investments for tax purposes. As a result of the Merger, the Company is subject to an annual limit on its use of some of its unrealized capital losses to offset capital gains in future periods. If those losses are realized and the limitation prevents the Company from using any of those losses in a future period, those capital losses will be available to offset capital gains in subsequent periods. Additionally, net operating losses of one of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries is subject to an annual limitation. Losses subject to limitation will be available in subsequent periods.

The following table summarizes the allocation of consideration paid to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Mergers:

Common Stock issued by the Company	$	1,594,261
Transaction costs	4,623
Consideration Paid	$	1,598,884
Investments	$	2,814,321

Overview

We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC, and has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a RIC under the Code. We are managed by the Adviser. The Adviser is an affiliate of Benefit Street Partners. Our Adviser is a Delaware limited liability company that is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. Our Adviser oversees the management of our activities and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to our portfolio.

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We intend to invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with EBITDA of between $25 million and $100 million annually, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions. We expect that each investment generally will range between approximately 0.5% and 3.0% of our total assets. As of September 30, 2024, 77.2% of our portfolio was invested in senior secured loans.

Senior secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt and equity in priority of payments and are generally secured by liens on the operating assets of a borrower which may include inventory, receivables, plant, property and equipment. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior loans and is generally unsecured.

On December 18, 2020, we completed our Initial Closing of Capital Commitments to purchase shares of our Common Stock to investors in a private placement in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Since our Initial Closing, we held additional closings and received aggregate Capital Commitments to purchase Common Stock. As of September 30, 2024, investors had made aggregate Capital Commitments to purchase Common Stock of $375.5 million. At each closing of the private placement, each investor will make a Capital Commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Subscription Agreement entered into with us. Investors will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of Common Stock up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments on an as-needed basis each time we deliver a notice to the investors. Closings of the private placement of our Common Stock occurred, from time to time, during the Initial Closing Period which our Board of Directors extended such that it ended December 18, 2023. After the Initial Closing Period, we may permit one or more additional closings of the private placement of our Common Stock with the approval of our Board of Directors.

On August 25, 2021, we filed the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock. On the same day, we entered into the Preferred Subscription Agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which investors made new Preferred Capital Commitments to purchase shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2024, total Preferred Capital Commitments of Series A Preferred Stock were $77.5 million.

On January 24, 2024, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Franklin BSP Lending Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“FBLC”), Franklin BSP Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and our direct wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, the Adviser. In connection therewith, Merger Sub merged with and into FBLC (the “Merger”), with FBLC continuing as the surviving company and as our wholly-owned subsidiary, followed by FBLC merging with and into us (together with the Merger, the “Mergers”), and with us continuing as the surviving company. See Note 17 - Merger with FBLC for further information regarding the Mergers.

Portfolio and Investment Activity

We invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with EBITDA of between $25 million and $100 million annually, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we made $785.8 million of investments in new portfolio companies and had $532.5 million in aggregate amount of sales and repayments, resulting in net investments of $253.3 million for the period, excluding any impact from the Mergers. The total portfolio of debt investments at fair value consisted of 95.3% bearing variable interest rates and 4.7% bearing fixed interest rates.

89

Our portfolio composition, based on fair value at September 30, 2024 was as follows:

	September 30, 2024
	Percentage of Total Portfolio(4)		Weighted Average Current Yield for Total Portfolio (1)
Senior Secured First Lien Debt	73.7	%	11.0	%
Senior Secured Second Lien Debt	3.5		15.6
Subordinated Debt	5.2		11.9
Debt Subtotal	82.4	%	11.3	%
Collateralized Securities (2)	0.3		15.3
Equity/Other (3)	6.7		8.7
FBLC Senior Loan Fund LLC (3)	10.6		9.0
Total	100.0	%	10.9	%

(1) Includes the effect of the amortization or accretion of loan premiums or discounts.

(2) Weighted average current yield for Collateralized Securities is based on the estimation of effective yield to expected maturity for each security as calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 325-40-35, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets (see Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).

(3) Weighted average current yield for Equity/Other may be based on actual or annualized income, where applicable.

(4) As of September 30, 2024, FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC's holdings consisted of 93.1% senior secured debt, of which 91.8% represented senior secured first lien debt. As of September 30, 2024, we held investments in Siena Capital Finance, LLC ("Siena") consisting of subordinated debt and equity, which represented 1.3% and 2.0% of our total portfolio, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, we held investments in Post Road Equipment Finance, LLC (“Post Road”) consisting of subordinated debt and equity, which represented 2.6% and 3.1% of our total portfolio, respectively. The respective businesses of Siena and Post Road primarily involve making senior secured asset-based loans to middle market companies and equipment finance transactions secured by mission-critical equipment of middle market companies, respectively. If the underlying investments of FBLC Senior Loan Fund described above were held by us and we were to treat the investments in Siena and Post Road as senior secured first lien investments, given the underlying businesses of those portfolio companies, then our portfolio composition as of September 30, 2024 would be as follows:

	September 30, 2024
	Percentage of Total Portfolio
Senior Secured First Lien Debt	92.4	%
Senior Secured Second Lien Debt	3.4
Senior Secured - Subtotal	95.8	%
Subordinated Debt	1.1
Collateralized Securities	1.5
Equity/Other	1.6
Total	100.0	%

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we made $77.0 million of investments in new portfolio companies and had $101.7 million in aggregate amount of sales and repayments, resulting in net investments of $(24.7) million for the period. The total portfolio of debt investments at fair value consisted of 98.0% bearing variable interest rates and 2.0% bearing fixed interest rates.

Our portfolio composition, based on fair value at December 31, 2023 was as follows:

	December 31, 2023
	Percentage of Total Portfolio(1)		Weighted Average Current Yield for Total Portfolio (2)
Senior Secured First Lien Debt	83.6	%	12.1	%
Senior Secured Second Lien Debt	6.9		13.4
Subordinated Debt	4.7		13.2
Debt Subtotal	95.2	%	12.2	%
Equity/Other	4.8		7.8
Total	100.0	%	12.0	%

(1) As of December 31, 2023, we held investments in Post Road Equipment Finance, LLC (“Post Road”) consisting of subordinated debt and equity, which represented 4.7% and 4.3% of our total portfolio, respectively. Post Road’s primary business involves equipment finance transactions secured by mission-critical equipment of middle market companies. If we were to treat the investments in Post Road as senior secured first lien investments, given the underlying business of this portfolio company, then our portfolio composition as of December 31, 2023 would be as follows:

	December 31, 2023
	Percentage of Total Portfolio
Senior Secured First Lien Debt	92.6	%
Senior Secured Second Lien Debt	6.9
Senior Secured - Subtotal	99.5	%
Equity/Other	0.5
Total	100.0	%

(2) Includes the effect of the amortization or accretion of loan premiums or discounts.

Portfolio Asset Quality

Our Adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Adviser grades the credit risk of all debt investments on a scale of 1 to 5 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio debt investment relative to the inherent risk at the time the original debt investment was made (i.e., at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company's business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors.

Loan Rating	Summary Description
1	Debt investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since the time of investment are favorable.
2	Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable. All investments are initially rated a “2”.
3	Performing debt investment requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration.

The weighted average risk rating of our investments based on fair value was 2.2 and 2.3 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 we had seven portfolio companies on non-accrual with a total amortized cost of $59.1 million and fair value of $42.9 million, which represented 1.5% and 1.1% of the investment portfolio's total amortized cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had no portfolio companies on non-accrual status. The increase of portfolio companies on non-accrual status was partially a result of the Mergers; whereby, we acquired FBLC’s assets, including its non-accrual assets. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional details regarding our non-accrual policy.

FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC

On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we became party to the joint venture formed on January 20, 2021, between FBLC and Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (“CCLF”), FBLC Senior Loan Fund, LLC (“SLF”). SLF invests primarily in senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent may invest in mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. SLF was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is not consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. We provide capital to SLF in the form of LLC equity interests. At formation, FBLC and CCLF owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. On July 2, 2024, the Company contributed $100.0 million of additional capital into SLF. As of September 30, 2024, we and CCLF owned 84.0% and 16.0%, respectively, of the LLC equity interests of SLF. Profit and loss are allocated based on each members' ownership percentage of the joint venture's net asset value. SLF has an Administrative and Loan Services Agreement with BSP, our affiliate, pursuant to which BSP provides certain operational and valuation services for SLF's investments; as well as certain agreements with third-party service providers. We and CCLF each appoint two members to SLF's four-person board of members. All material decisions with respect to SLF, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of members. Quorum is defined as (i) the presence of two members of the board of members; provided that at least one individual is present that was elected, designated or appointed by each member; (ii) the presence of three members of the board of members; provided that the individual that was elected, designated or appointed by the member with only one individual present shall be entitled to cast two votes on each matter; and (iii) the presence of four members of the board of members; provided that two individuals are present that were elected, designated or appointed by each member.

As of September 30, 2024, our investment in SLF consisted of equity contributions of $404.9 million. Our investment in SLF is classified as “Equity/Other” on the consolidated schedules of investments, and other disclosures unless otherwise indicated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Investments

Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment, the amount of capital we have available to us and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make.

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with EBITDA of between $25 million and $100 million annually, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions, which refers to acquisitions from secondary market participants rather than from the portfolio company directly.

As a BDC, we are generally required to invest at least 70% of our total assets primarily in securities of private and certain U.S. public companies (other than certain financial institutions), cash, cash equivalents and U.S. government securities and other limited float high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.

Revenues

We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments we hold, and to a lesser extent, capital gains and distributions, if any, on equity securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK income.

In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of fee income such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment, termination, and other upfront fees. We do not expect to receive material fee income as it is not our principal investment strategy. Upon the re-payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and other upfront fees are recorded as income.

Expenses

We will bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including, but not limited to:

•expenses incurred by the Adviser and payable to third parties, including agents, consultants and other advisors, in monitoring our financial and legal affairs, news and quotation subscriptions, and market or industry research expenses;

•the cost of calculating our NAV; the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our Common Stock and other securities;

•management and incentive fees payable pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement; fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants and other advisors, relating to, or associated with, making investments, and, if necessary, enforcing its rights, and valuing investments (including third-party valuation firms);

•expenses related to consummated or unconsummated investments, including dead deal or broken deal expenses; rating agency expenses; fees to arrange our debt financings;

•distributions on our shares; administration fees payable under the Administration Agreement;

•the allocated costs incurred by our Administrator in providing managerial assistance to those portfolio companies that request it; transfer agent and custodial fees; fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts (including attendance at investment conferences and similar events); accounting, audit and tax preparation expenses;

•federal and state registration fees; any exchange listing fees; federal, state, local, and other taxes;

94

•costs and expenses incurred in relation to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and our operation and administration generally;

•independent directors’ fees and expenses;

•brokerage commissions; costs of proxy statements, stockholders’ reports and notices; costs of preparing government filings, including periodic and current reports with the SEC; our fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums; indemnification payments;

•expenses relating to the development and maintenance of our website, if any; other operations and technology costs;

•direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, copying, telephone, fees of independent accountants and outside legal costs; and

•all other expenses incurred by us or our Administrator in connection with administering our business, including, but not limited to, payments under the Administration Agreement based upon our allocable portion of our Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, travel and the allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs, including operations and tax professionals and administrative staff who provide support services in respect of us.

Our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Total investment income	$	106,184	$	24,290	$	307,359	$	70,558
Expenses, net of incentive fee waiver	60,910		10,171		162,456		30,324
Income tax expense, including excise tax	869		50		2,084		468
Net investment income (loss)	$	44,405	$	14,069	$	142,819	$	39,766

Investment Income

Investment income increased from $24.3 million and $70.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, to $106.2 million and $307.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The increase is primarily driven by the Mergers with FBLC, which resulted in the acquisition of $2.8 billion of FBLC’s investments at fair value on January 24, 2024. As a result of the Mergers, our investment portfolio at amortized cost increased to $3.8 billion as of September 30, 2024 from $769.0 million as of December 31, 2023. PIK income from investments also increased from $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $14.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Fee and other income, included within total investment income, was at $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. Fee and other income decreased from $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in one-time fees earned on certain investments, including commitment, prepayment fees and accelerated amortization of upfront fees from unscheduled paydowns.

Operating Expenses

The composition of our operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

Expenses, net of incentive fee waiver	$	60,910	$	10,171	$	162,456	$	30,324

Management Fees

Management fees increased from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Management fees increased from $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $38.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven by an increase in our asset base due to the Mergers with FBLC. Total assets increased from $831.7 million as of December 31, 2023 to $4.0 billion as of September 30, 2024.

Incentive Fees

Incentive fees increased from $2.1 million (all of which were waived by the Adviser) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Incentive fees increased from $6.0 million (all of which were waived by the Adviser) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $26.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in incentive fees from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven by an increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income due to the Mergers with FBLC and the expiration of the incentive fee waiver.

Interest and debt fees

Interest and debt fees increased from $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $33.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Interest and debt fees increased from $23.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $84.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily driven by the Mergers with FBLC, which resulted in the acquisition of $1.2 billion of FBLC’s debt on January 24, 2024 as well as the issuance of our 2029 Notes (as defined below). The average daily debt outstanding for facility borrowings and unsecured notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.4 billion compared to $1.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The weighted average annualized interest cost of the facility borrowings and unsecured notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were 6.88% and 7.63%, respectively.

96

Professional Fees and Other General and Administrative Expenses

Professional fees and other general and administrative expenses increased from $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Professional fees and other general and administrative expenses increased from $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in professional fees and other general and administrative expenses from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in costs associated with servicing a larger investment portfolio due to the Mergers with FBLC.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments

Net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss)	$	(13,857)	$	931	$	(53,139)	$	(2,658)

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments

Realized gains or losses are measured using the specific identification method whereby we measure the gain or loss by the difference between the net proceeds from repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a net realized loss of $(22.7) million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a net realized loss of $(21.1) million. The net realized loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by the restructuring of the first lien debt investments of Pluralsight, LLC in August 2024 which resulted in a realized loss of $(19.1) million offset by an unrealized gain of $18.5 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a net realized loss of $(0.2) million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a net realized loss of $(0.3) million. The net realized loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by realized losses on senior secured investments.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments

Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

97

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded unrealized appreciation of $35.6 million on 133 portfolio company investments, which was offset by $26.2 million of unrealized depreciation on 180 portfolio company investments. The unrealized appreciation primarily resulted from improved performance of certain portfolio companies, the reversal of previously recorded unrealized depreciation, and the Pluralsight, LLC restructure. The unrealized depreciation was primarily due to isolated deterioration in the credit performance of a small number of portfolio companies, and the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation. Additionally, $0.6 million of the net unrealized loss was driven by a change in deferred taxes. The overall net unrealized appreciation on our portfolio was primarily driven by the reversal of previously recorded unrealized depreciation.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded unrealized appreciation of $3.1 million on 45 portfolio company investments which was offset by $1.9 million of unrealized depreciation on 69 portfolio company investments. The unrealized appreciation primarily resulted from improved performance of certain portfolio companies and the reversal of previously recorded unrealized depreciation. The unrealized depreciation was primarily due to isolated deterioration in the credit performance of a small number of portfolio companies. The overall net unrealized appreciation on our portfolio was primarily driven by improved performance of certain portfolio companies.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded unrealized appreciation of $28.2 million on 145 portfolio company investments, which was offset by $58.5 million of unrealized depreciation on 184 portfolio company investments. The unrealized appreciation primarily resulted from improved performance of certain portfolio companies and the reversal of previously recorded unrealized depreciation. The unrealized depreciation was primarily due to isolated deterioration in the credit performance of a small number of portfolio companies. Additionally, $1.7 million of the net unrealized loss was driven by a change in deferred taxes. The overall net unrealized depreciation on our portfolio was primarily driven by deterioration in the credit performance of certain portfolio companies.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded unrealized appreciation of $4.5 million on 43 portfolio company investments which was offset by $6.3 million of unrealized depreciation on 79 portfolio company investments. The unrealized appreciation primarily resulted from improved performance of certain portfolio companies and the reversal of previously recorded unrealized depreciation in 2022. The unrealized depreciation primarily resulted from isolated deterioration in the credit performance of a small number of portfolio companies and the reversal of unrealized appreciation in 2022. Additionally, $0.5 million of the net unrealized loss was driven by a change in deferred taxes. The overall net unrealized depreciation on our portfolio was primarily driven by deterioration in the credit performance of certain portfolio companies.

Supplemental Information

On January 24, 2024, we completed our previously announced acquisition of FBLC. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was first merged with and into FBLC, with FBLC continuing as the surviving company, and, immediately following the Merger, FBLC was then merged with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, each outstanding share of FBLC's common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.4647 shares of our common stock. As a result of the Mergers, we issued an aggregate of 110.0 million shares of our common stock to FBLC stockholders.

The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition of FBLC by us in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the fair value of total consideration paid, including transaction costs, in conjunction with the Mergers allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of the Mergers. The consideration paid to FBLC stockholders was more than the aggregate fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which resulted in a purchase price premium. The purchase premium was allocated to the cost basis of the FBLC investments acquired by us on a pro-rata basis based on their relative fair values as of the effective time of the Merger. The purchase premium allocated to the debt investments acquired will amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to equity investments acquired will not amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, we will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired. Any adjustments to the cost basis of the acquired FBLC investments derived from the accounting treatment of the Mergers will be excluded from the incentive fee calculation.

As a supplement to our financial results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), we have provided, as detailed below, certain non-GAAP financial measures to our operating results that exclude the aforementioned purchase premium and the ongoing amortization thereof, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures include (i) adjusted net investment income after taxes; and (ii) adjusted net realized and unrealized gains (losses). We believe that the adjustment to exclude the full effect of the purchase premium is meaningful because it is a measure that we and investors use to assess our financial condition and results of operations. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. GAAP. The aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

As of September 30, 2024, we had $153.7 million of cash. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $62.2 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, redemptions, and sales of portfolio investments. The cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily a result of purchases of investments of $785.8 million, offset by sales and repayments of investments of $532.5 million as well as cash received in the Mergers of $58.5 million. As of September 30, 2023, we had $70.0 million of cash. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $47.0 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, redemptions, and sales of portfolio investments. The cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily a result of purchases of investments of $46.4 million, partially offset by sales and repayments of investments of $71.0 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $160.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily related to payments on debt of $509.0 million, payments of financing costs of $4.4 million, common stockholder distributions of $77.4 million, preferred stockholder distributions of $5.6 million, and repurchases of common stock of $43.0 million partially offset by proceeds from debt of $801.7 million and proceeds from issuance of shares of common stock of $0.9 million. Net cash used by financing activities of $3.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily related to payments on debt of $70.4 million, repayments on short-term borrowings of $89.4 million, common stockholder distributions of $23.3 million, and preferred stockholder distributions of $5.4 million partially offset by proceeds from issuance of shares of common stock of $9.9 million, proceeds from issuance of shares of preferred stock of $41.4 million, proceeds from debt of $32.0 million, and proceeds from short-term borrowings of $68.6 million.

We also fund a portion of our investments through borrowings from banks. Our primary use of cash will be investments in portfolio companies, payments of our expenses and payment of cash distributions to our stockholders. As of September 30, 2024, we are party to the JPM and Wells Fargo Credit Facilities, which are defined in and described in more detail in Note 5 - Borrowings. We are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, which, as defined in the 1940 Act, measures the ratio of total assets less total liabilities not represented by senior securities to total borrowings, equals at least 150% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. As of September 30, 2024, our asset coverage ratio was 198%.

As of September 30, 2024, we had $400.8 million of availability under the JPM Credit Facility, Wells Fargo Credit Facility, FBLC JPM Credit Facility, and JPM Revolver (subject to borrowing base availability). As of September 30, 2023, we had $56.5 million of availability under the MS Credit Facility (subject to borrowing base availability), and had approximately $217.7 million of uncalled capital commitments to purchase shares of our Common Stock. We expect to have sufficient liquidity for our investing activities and to conduct our operations for the next 12 months.

Taxation as a RIC

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that we distribute as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to our stockholders. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, in order to maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each tax year, an amount equal to at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gain over realized net long-term capital loss and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, or the annual distribution requirement. Even if we qualify as a RIC, we generally will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed taxable income and could be subject to state, local, and foreign taxes.

Additionally, in order to avoid the imposition of a U.S. federal excise tax, we are required to distribute, in respect of each calendar year, dividends to our stockholders of an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of our calendar year net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections); 98.2% of our capital gain net income (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the one year period ending on December 31 of such calendar year; and any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding calendar years that were not distributed during such calendar years and on which we previously did not incur any U.S. federal income tax. If we fail to qualify as a RIC for any reason and become subject to U.S federal income corporate tax, the resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions. Such a failure would have a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders. In addition, we could be required to recognize unrealized gains, incur substantial taxes and interest and make substantial distributions in order to re-qualify as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions.

Distributions

The amount of each distribution is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. We calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the quarter using record and declaration dates.

The table shows the components of the distributions we have declared and/or paid to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

	For the nine months ended September 30,
	2024		2023
Distributions declared	$	100,499	$	32,458
Distributions paid	$	100,512	$	32,478
Portion of distributions paid in cash	$	77,434	$	23,268
Portion of distributions paid in DRIP shares	$	23,078	$	9,210

Portion of distributions paid in cash	$	5,570	$	5,418
Portion of distributions paid in DRIP shares	$	—	$	—

We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to us, including advances from the Adviser that are subject to reimbursement, as well as offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. We may have distributions which could be characterized as a return of capital for tax purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, no portion of our distributions was characterized as return of capital for tax purposes. The specific tax characteristics of our distributions made in respect of our anticipated fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 will be reported to stockholders shortly after the end of the calendar year 2024 as well as in our periodic reports with the SEC. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our ordinary income or gain. Moreover, you should understand that any such distributions were not based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods and/or our Adviser continues to make such reimbursements. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the performance necessary to sustain our distributions or that we will be able to pay distributions at all.

Related Party Transactions and Agreements

Investment Advisory Agreement

We entered into an amendment and restatement of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement”), dated as of January 24, 2024, which was approved by our Board of Directors and our stockholders in connection with the consummation of the Mergers, under which the Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Directors manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to us. Affiliates of the Adviser also provide investment advisory services to other funds that have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. Affiliates of the Adviser also serve as investment adviser or sub-adviser to private funds and registered open-end funds, and as an investment adviser to a public real estate investment trust. The Adviser has adopted policies designed to manage and mitigate the conflicts of interest associated with the allocation of investment opportunities. In addition, any affiliated fund currently formed or formed in the future and managed by the Adviser or its affiliates may have overlapping investment objectives with our own and, accordingly, may invest in asset classes similar to those targeted by us. However, in certain instances due to regulatory, tax, investment, or other restrictions, certain investment opportunities may not be appropriate for either us or other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

102

Administration Agreement

On September 23, 2020, we entered into the Administration Agreement with BSP, pursuant to which BSP provides us with office facilities and administrative services. We reimburse BSP quarterly for all administrative costs and expenses incurred by our Adviser in performing our obligations under the Administration Agreement and annually for overhead expenses incurred in the course of performing our obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, travel and the allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs, including operations and tax professionals, and administrative staff providing support services in respect of us. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon not less than 60 days’ written notice to the other. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in administrative service fees under the administrative agreement, which are included in other general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in administrative service fees under the administrative agreement, which are included in other general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Co-Investment Relief

The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from entering into negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC. The SEC staff has granted the Company exemptive relief that allows it to enter into certain negotiated co-investment transactions alongside with other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates (“Affiliated Funds”) in a manner consistent with its investment objective, positions, policies, strategies, and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions (the “Order”). Pursuant to the Order, the Company is permitted to co-invest with its affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of its eligible directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and the Company’s stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Company or the Company’s stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and is consistent with the Company’s investment objective and strategies.

Borrowings

We are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, which, as defined in the 1940 Act, measures the ratio of total assets less total liabilities not represented by senior securities to total borrowings, equals at least 150% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the senior securities issued by us was $2.0 billion and our asset coverage was 198%. We are continually exploring forms of debt financing which could include new or expanded credit facilities or the issuance of senior securities that are debt or stock. We may use borrowed funds, known as “leverage,” to make investments and to attempt to increase returns to our stockholders by reducing our overall cost of capital. We currently have credit facilities with JPMorgan and Wells Fargo.

JPM Credit Facility

On October 4, 2023, we refinanced the MS Credit Facility with a $400.0 million credit facility with FBCC Jupiter Funding, LLC, a wholly-owned, consolidated special purpose financing subsidiary of us, as borrower (“Jupiter Funding”), the Adviser, as portfolio manager, the lenders party thereto, U.S. Bank National Association, as securities intermediary, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as collateral administrator and collateral agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “JPM Credit Facility”). The JPM Credit Facility provides for borrowings through October 4, 2026, and any amounts borrowed under the JPM Credit Facility will mature on October 4, 2027. Borrowings under the JPM Credit Facility will bear interest at a benchmark rate, currently SOFR, plus a margin of 2.75% per annum, which is inclusive of an administrative agent fee. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Jupiter Funding will be subject to a non-usage fee of 0.75%, which is inclusive of the administrative agent fee, to the extent the commitments available under the JPM Credit Facility have not been borrowed. Jupiter Funding paid an upfront fee and incurred other customary costs and expenses in connection with the JPM Credit Facility.

103

Short-Term Borrowings

From time to time, we finance the purchase of certain investments through repurchase agreements. In the repurchase agreements, we enter into a trade to sell an investment and contemporaneously enter into a trade to buy the same investment back on a specified date in the future with the same counterparty. Investments sold under repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized borrowings as the sale of the investment does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860—Transfers and Servicing and remains as an investment on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. We use repurchase agreements as a short-term financing alternative. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no short-term borrowings outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded no interest expense in connection with short-term borrowings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded interest expense of $0.4 and $1.7 million, respectively, in connection with short-term borrowings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we did not have outstanding short term borrowing. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had an average outstanding balance of short-term borrowings of $27.1 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 0.02%.

Secured Borrowings

On August 21, 2023, we entered into a total return swap (“TRS”) with Nomura Global Financial Products Inc. (“Nomura”). A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. We pay interest to Nomura for each loan at a rate equal to three-month SOFR plus 3.60% per annum. On April 24, 2024, the rate was amended to three-month SOFR plus 2.80% per annum. Upon the termination or repayment of any loan under the TRS, we will either receive from Nomura the appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Nomura any depreciation in the value of such loan. The scheduled termination date for the TRS is February 17, 2025. We may terminate the TRS prior to February 17, 2025 upon the occurrence of certain events but in certain circumstances may be required to pay certain termination fees.

As of September 30, 2024, all total return swaps on the Nomura TRS were entered into contemporaneously with our sale of their reference assets. Due to our continuing involvement in these assets, these assets are not derecognized under ASC Topic 860 -- Transfers and Servicing, and are presented on our consolidated schedule of investments. Financing amounts related to these assets are presented as secured borrowings on our consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Any margin paid to the counterparty under the terms of the TRS agreement is included in the “Due from broker” on our consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

The TRS is subject to the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies. The rule requires that we trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations subject to a value-at-risk leverage limit and certain derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. Generally, these requirements apply unless we qualify as a “limited derivatives user,” as defined in the rule, in which case certain exceptions to these conditions would apply. We may qualify as a limited derivatives user if it adopts and implements written policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage our derivatives risk and our derivatives exposure does not exceed 10 percent of our net assets as calculated in accordance with the rule.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had secured borrowings outstanding of $30.8 million and $33.3 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded interest expense of $0.5 million and $1.5 million in connection with secured borrowings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded interest expense of $0.2 million and $0.2 million in connection with secured borrowings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had an average outstanding balance of secured borrowings of $31.3 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 6.39%. For the period August 21, 2023 through September 30, 2023, the Company had an average outstanding balance of secured borrowings of $24.1 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 8.98%.

Wells Fargo Credit Facility

On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers we became party to a $300.0 million revolving credit facility with us as collateral manager, Funding I, a wholly owned, consolidated special purpose financing subsidiary, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent and collateral custodian (the “Wells Fargo Credit Facility”).

The Wells Fargo Credit Facility provides for borrowings through August 25, 2026, and any amounts borrowed under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility will mature on August 25, 2028. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility has an interest rate of daily simple SOFR (with a daily simple SOFR floor of zero), plus a spread of 2.75% per annum. Pursuant to an amendment to the loan and servicing agreement entered into on August 30, 2024 (“Wells Fargo Credit Facility Amendment”), the spread was reduced to 2.15% per annum from 2.75% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Funding I will be subject to a non-usage fee to the extent the commitments available under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility have not been borrowed. The non-usage fee per annum is 0.50% for the first 25% of the unused balance and increases to 2.00% for any remaining unused balance. Pursuant to the Wells Fargo Credit Facility Amendment, the non-usage fee per annum is now 0.50% for the first 70% of the unused balance and increases to 2.00% for any remaining unused balance.

Funding I’s obligations under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Funding I, including its portfolio of investments and FBCC’s equity interest in Funding I. The obligations of Funding I under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility are non-recourse to FBCC.

In connection with the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, FBCC and Funding I have made certain representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants and other customary requirements. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility contains customary default provisions pursuant to which the administrative agent and the lenders under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility may terminate FBCC in its capacity as collateral manager/portfolio manager under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, the administrative agent or the lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility immediately due and payable.

FBLC JPM Credit Facility

On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we through a wholly-owned, consolidated special purpose financing subsidiary, 57th Street, became party to a $400.0 million revolving credit facility with JPMorgan, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent, collateral administrator and securities intermediary (the “FBLC JPM Credit Facility”).

The non-usage fee of 0.75% (inclusive of an administrative agent fee) applies to the first 20% of the unused balance and increases to 3.00% for any remaining unused balance. FBCC and 57th Street are permitted to submit a commitment increase request to up to $800.0 million.

57th Street’s obligations under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of 57th Street, including its portfolio of investments and FBCC’s equity interest in 57th Street. The obligations of 57th Street under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility are non-recourse to FBCC.

In connection with the FBLC JPM Credit Facility, FBCC and 57th Street have made certain representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants and other customary requirements. The FBLC JPM Credit Facility contains customary default provisions pursuant to which the administrative agent and the lenders under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility may terminate FBCC in its capacity as collateral manager/portfolio manager under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility.

105

JPM Revolver Facility

On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we became party to a $505.0 million revolving credit facility with JPMorgan, as administrative agent and as collateral agent, N.A., Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as syndication agents, as well as other Lender parties (the “JPM Revolver Facility”).

The JPM Revolver Facility provides for borrowings through December 8, 2027, and any amounts borrowed under the JPM Revolver Facility will mature on December 8, 2028. The JPM Revolver Facility is priced at three-month Term SOFR, plus a spread calculated based upon the composition of loans in the collateral pool, which will not exceed 1.98% per annum.

2024 Notes

On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we became party to a Purchase Agreement relating to the sale of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.85% fixed rate notes due December 15, 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). The 2024 Notes are subject to customary indemnification provisions and representations, warranties, and covenants. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2024 Notes were approximately $98.4 million. The 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.85% per year payable semi-annually.

2026 Notes

On January 24, 2024, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, we became party to a Purchase Agreement relating to the sale of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% fixed rate notes due March 30, 2026 (the “Restricted 2026 Notes”). The net proceeds from the sale of the Restricted 2026 Notes were approximately $296.0 million. Pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form N-14 (File No. 333-257321), on September 22, 2021, holders of the Restricted 2026 Notes were offered the opportunity to exchange their Restricted 2026 Notes for new registered notes with substantially identical terms (the "Unrestricted 2026 Notes" and, together with the Restricted 2026 Notes, the 2026 Notes), through which holders representing 99.88% of the outstanding principal of the then Restricted 2026 Notes obtained Unrestricted 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes are subject to customary indemnification provisions and representations, warranties and covenants. The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per year payable semi-annually.

2029 Notes

On April 29, 2024, we entered into a purchase agreement in connection with the issuance and sale of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.20% Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The net proceeds from the sale of the 2029 Notes were approximately $293.0 million. The 2029 Notes were issued on May 6, 2024, pursuant to a third supplemental indenture. The 2029 Notes will mature on June 15, 2029, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at our option at any time or from time to time at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 2029 Notes.

(1) As of September 30, 2024, we had $100.0 million in unused borrowing capacity under the JPM Credit Facility, subject to borrowing base limits.

(2) As of September 30, 2024, we had no unused borrowing capacity under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, subject to borrowing base limits.

(3) As of September 30, 2024, we had $80.0 million in unused borrowing capacity under the FBLC JPM Credit Facility, subject to borrowing base limits.

(4) As of September 30, 2024, we had $220.8 million in unused borrowing capacity under the JPM Revolver Facility, subject to borrowing base limits.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into future funding commitments. As of September 30, 2024, we had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $222.9 million, unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $196.0 million, and unfunded commitments on term loans of $1.0 million. As of December 31, 2023, we had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $34.3 million and unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $42.2 million. We maintain sufficient cash on hand, unfunded commitments to purchase our Common Stock, and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments. Please refer to Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for further detail of these unfunded commitments.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we will evaluate our estimates, including those related to the matters described below. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

While our significant accounting policies are also described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report, we believe the following accounting policies require the most significant judgment in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

107

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

We are required to report our investments, including those for which current market values are not readily available, at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as 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 applicable measurement date, and Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at those market quotations. All investments that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available, as is the case for substantially all of our investments, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our Valuation Designee, subject to oversight from our Board of Directors.

As part of the valuation process, our Valuation Designee takes into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of our investments, including and in combination of:

•the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company;

•indicative dealer quotes;

•the nature and realizable value of any collateral;

•the portfolio company’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and cash flow;

•the markets in which the portfolio company does business;

•a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities; and

•overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future.

Our Valuation Designee, subject to oversight from our Board of Directors, undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of our investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, or are available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of an investment, which includes, among other procedures, the following:

•Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by our Valuation Designee, with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by our Board of Directors;

•The independent valuation firm(s) conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and

•Our Valuation Designee, under the supervision of our Board of Directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of independent valuation firms (to the extent applicable) and our Valuation Designee’s own analysis. Our Valuation Designee also has established the Valuation Committee to assist our Valuation Designee in carrying out its designated responsibilities, subject to oversight of our Board of Directors.

Our Valuation Designee, subject to oversight from our Board of Directors, has and will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of our portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment each quarter, and our Valuation Designee may reasonably rely on that assistance. However, our Valuation Designee, subject to oversight from our Board of Directors, is responsible for the ultimate valuation of the portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to our valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.

Our accounting policy on the fair value of our investments is critical because the determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of these valuations, and any change in these valuations, on the consolidated financial statements.

See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a description of other accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. We expect our market risk will arise primarily from interest rate risk relating to interest rate fluctuations. Many factors including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations (including global or regional conflicts) and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we may borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes in earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. During the periods covered by this report, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities. We would not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

As of September 30, 2024, our debt included variable-rate debt, bearing a weighted average interest rate of SOFR plus 2.33% and a fixed rate debt, bearing a weighted average interest rate of 5.16% with a total carrying value (net of deferred financing costs) of $1.9 billion. The following table quantifies the potential changes in interest income net of interest expense should base interest rates increase or decrease by the amounts below assuming that our current consolidated statement of assets and liabilities was to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate floors, if applicable, are not reflected in the sensitivity analysis below.

Change in Base Interest Rates	Estimated Change in Interest Income net of Interest Expense (in thousands)
(-) 459 Basis Points	$	(83,817)
(-) 200 Basis Points	$	(36,505)
(-) 100 Basis Points	$	(18,252)
(-) 50 Basis Points	$	(9,126)
(+) 50 Basis Points	$	9,126
(+) 100 Basis Points	$	18,252
(+) 200 Basis Points	$	36,505

Because we may borrow money to make investments, our net investment income may be dependent on the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of increasing interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

Valuation Risk

We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities of private companies. Most of our investments will not have a readily available market price, and our Adviser, as our Valuation Designee under Rule 2a-5, values these investments at fair value as determined in good faith subject to the oversight of our Board of Directors, based on, among other things, the input of the Adviser and independent third-party valuation firms, in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented.

109

Inflation and Supply Chain Risk

Economic activity has continued to accelerate across sectors and regions. Nevertheless, due to global supply chain issues, geopolitical events, including the outbreak of global or regional conflicts (such as those in the Middle East and Eastern Europe) a rise in energy prices and strong consumer demand as economies continue to reopen, inflation has remained elevated in the U.S. and globally. Persistent inflationary pressures could affect the profit margins of our portfolio companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were (a) designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in an accurate manner and on a timely basis and the information that we are required to disclose in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to management to permit timely decisions with respect to required disclosure and (b) operating in an effective manner. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of September 30, 2024, we were not defendants in any material pending legal proceeding, and no such material proceedings are known to be contemplated. However, from time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under the contracts with our portfolio companies. Third parties may also seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factor discussed below and in Part I., “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. The risk described below and the risks in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

Because we borrow money, the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested in us will be magnified and may increase the risk of investing in us.

The use of borrowings, also known as leverage, including through the issuance of senior securities that are debt or stock, increases the volatility of investments by magnifying the potential for gain or loss on invested equity capital. Because we use leverage to partially finance our investments, through borrowing from banks and other lenders, you will experience increased risks of investing in our Common Stock. If the value of our assets increases, leveraging would cause the NAV to increase more sharply than it would have had we not leveraged. Conversely, if the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause our NAV to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Similarly, any increase in our income in excess of interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net income to increase more than it would without the leverage, while any decrease in our income would cause net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect our ability to make Common Stock distribution payments. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique.

The following table illustrates the effects of leverage on returns from an investment in shares of Common Stock, assuming various hypothetical annual returns, net of expenses. The calculations are hypothetical and actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing below. The calculation assumes (i) $4.4 billion in total assets, (ii) a weighted average cost of funds of 6.88%, (iii) $2.3 billion of debt outstanding (i.e. assumes that the $700 million principal amount of our unsecured notes sold and the full $1.6 billion available to us under our revolving credit facilities are outstanding at September 30, 2024) and (iv) $1.9 billion in stockholders’ equity. In order to compute the “Corresponding return to stockholders,” the “Assumed Return on Our Portfolio (net of expenses)” is multiplied by the assumed total assets to obtain an assumed return to us. From this amount, the interest expense is calculated by multiplying the assumed weighted average cost of funds by the assumed debt outstanding, and the product is subtracted from the assumed return to us in order to determine the return available to stockholders. The return available to stockholders is then divided by our stockholders’ equity to determine the “Corresponding return to stockholders.” Actual interest payments may be different.

Assumed Return on Our Portfolio (net of expenses)	(10)%	(5)%	—%	5%	10%
Corresponding return to stockholders (1)	(30.55)%	(19.35)%	(8.15)%	3.06%	14.26%

(1) In order for us to cover our hypothetical annual interest payments on indebtedness, we would need to achieve annual returns on our September 30, 2024 total assets of at least 3.63%.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On April 24, 2024, pursuant to a drawdown notice previously delivered to investors, we issued and sold approximately 61,058 shares of the Common Stock for an aggregate offering price of approximately $0.9 million. The issuance and sale of the Common Stock were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder.

Repurchases of Common Stock

The following table sets forth information regarding our repurchases of shares of Common Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2024:

Repurchase Deadline Request (1)	Total Number of Shares Repurchased (1)	Percentage of Outstanding Common Stock Repurchased (2)		Price Paid Per Share		Repurchase Pricing Date	Amount Repurchased (1)		Maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the repurchase plan (1)
April 9, 2024	2,676,696	1.96	%	$	14.49	January 24, 2024	$	38,785,296	—

(1) On February 29, 2024, we commenced a tender offer to repurchase up to 2,687,933 shares of its Common Stock. On May 7, 2024, we repurchased 2,676,696 shares of Common Stock as set forth in the table above. Because the tender offer has expired, we will not repurchase the balance of 11,237 shares of Common Stock. For a description of our Share Repurchase Program, see Note 11 — Share Repurchase Program to the consolidated financial statements.

(2) Percentage is based on total shares as of the close of the previous calendar quarter.
