FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on our current expectations and estimates, our prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs and opinions, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “potential,” “predicts” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:
•our future operating results;
•our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
•the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;
•changes in the markets in which we invest and changes in financial and lending markets generally;
•the impact of a protracted decline in the liquidity of credit markets on our business;
•the impact of increased competition;
•an economic downturn and its impact on the ability of our portfolio companies to operate and the investment opportunities available to us;
•interest rate volatility, including the replacement of LIBOR with alternative rates and rising interest rates, could adversely affect our results, particularly if we elect to use leverage as part of our investment strategy;
•the impact of supply chain constraints and labor difficulties on our portfolio companies and the global economy;
•the elevated level of inflation, and its impact on our portfolio companies and on the industries in which we invest;
•the impact of geopolitical conditions, including the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia and its impact on financial market volatility, global economic markets, and various sectors, industries and markets for commodities globally, such as oil and natural gas;
•our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
•the valuation of our investments in portfolio companies, particularly those having no liquid trading market;
•actual and potential conflicts of interest with Churchill and its affiliates;
•the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
•the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments;
•the adequacy of our financing sources and working capital;
•the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies;
•the ability of Churchill to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments and Nuveen Asset Management to manage certain of our Liquid Investments;
•the ability of Churchill to attract and retain highly talented professionals;
•our ability to qualify for and maintain our tax treatment as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) and operate as a business development company (“BDC”);
•the impact of future legislation and regulation on our business and our portfolio companies;
•our ability to successfully invest capital raised in our offering;
Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include our ability to originate new loans and investments, certain margins and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or a forward-looking statement in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These forward-looking statements apply only as of the date of this report. Moreover, we assume no duty and do not undertake to update the forward-looking statements, except as otherwise provided by law.

____________________
(1)All investments are non-controlled/non-affiliated investments as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The 1940 Act classifies investments based on the level of control that the Fund maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a portfolio company is generally presumed to be “non-controlled” when the Fund owns 25% or less of the portfolio company’s voting securities and “controlled” when the Fund owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s voting securities. The 1940 Act also classifies investments further based on the level of ownership that the Fund maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally deemed as “non-affiliated” when the Fund owns less than 5% of a portfolio company’s voting securities and “affiliated” when the Fund owns 5% or more of a portfolio company’s voting securities.
(2)Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt and equity held by the Fund are domiciled in the United States.
(3)The majority of the investments bear interest at rates that may be determined by reference to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "S") and, to a lesser extent, London Interbank offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”), which reset monthly or quarterly. For each such investment, the Fund has provided the spread over SOFR and LIBOR and the current contractual interest rate in effect at June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, effective rates for 1M S, 3M S and 6M S are 5.14%, 5.27% and 5.39%, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, effective rates for 1M L, 3M L, and 6M L are 5.22%, 5.55% and 5.76%, respectively. For portfolio companies with multiple interest rate contracts, the interest rate shown is a weighted average current interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2023. Certain investments are subject to a SOFR or LIBOR floor. For fixed rate loans, a spread above a reference rate is not applicable.
(4)Investment valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policies - Valuation of Portfolio Investments” for more information. (5)Percentage is based on net assets of $267,280 as of June 30, 2023.
(6)Denotes that all or a portion of the assets are owned by SPV I (as defined in Note 1 “Organization”). SPV I entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Bank of America Credit Facility”) on April 19, 2022. The lenders of the Bank of America Credit Facility have a first lien security interest in substantially all of the assets of SPV I. Accordingly, such assets are not available to creditors of the Fund. See Note 5 “Secured Borrowings” for more information. (7)Investment is a unitranche position.
(8)Security acquired in transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may be deemed to be a “restricted security” under the Securities Act. As of June 30, 2023, the Fund held twenty-four restricted securities with an aggregate fair value of $5,490, or 2.05% of the Fund’s net assets.
(9)Equity investments are non-income producing securities unless otherwise noted.
(10)This portfolio company is not domiciled in the United States. The principal place of business for Phaidon International is the United Kingdom. A portfolio company that is not domiciled in the United States is considered a non-qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act.
(11)Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded portion. See Note 6 "Commitments and Contingencies". The investment may be subject to unused commitment fees. (12)Investments valued using observable inputs (Level 2), if applicable. See Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policies – Valuation of Portfolio Investments” and Note 3 "Fair Value Measurements" for more information. (13)The investment is considered as a non-qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company cannot acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Fund's total assets. As of June 30, 2023, total non-qualifying assets at fair value represented 1.89% of the Fund's total assets calculated in accordance with the 1940 Act.
(14)Cash equivalents balance represents amounts held in interest-bearing money market funds issued by U.S. Bank National Association and First American.

(1)All investments are non-controlled/non-affiliated investments as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The 1940 Act classifies investments based on the level of control that the Fund maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally presumed to be “non-controlled” when the Fund owns 25% or less of the portfolio company’s voting securities and “controlled” when the Fund owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s voting securities. The 1940 Act also classifies investments further based on the level of ownership that the Fund maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally deemed as “non-affiliated” when the Fund owns less than 5% of a portfolio company’s voting securities and “affiliated” when the Fund owns 5% or more of a portfolio company’s voting securities.
(2)Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt and equity held by the Fund are domiciled in the United States.
(3)The majority of the investments bear interest at rates that may be determined by reference to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or "L"), as well as Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "S"), which reset monthly or quarterly. For each such investment, the Fund has provided the spread over LIBOR and SOFR and the current contractual interest rate in effect at December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, effective rates for 1M L and 3M L are 4.39% and 4.77%, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, effective rates for 1M S, 3M S and 6M S are 4.36%, 4.59% and 4.78%, respectively. For portfolio companies with multiple interest rate contracts, the interest rate shown is a weighted average current interest rate in effect as of December 31, 2022. Certain investments are subject to a LIBOR or SOFR floor. For fixed rate loans, a spread above a reference rate is not applicable.

NUVEEN CHURCHILL PRIVATE CAPITAL INCOME FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
1. ORGANIZATION
Nuveen Churchill Private Capital Income Fund (“PCAP”, and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Fund”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on February 8, 2022. PCAP is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund is externally managed by its adviser, Churchill Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser” or “Churchill”). Churchill is an indirect subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”), the investment management division of TIAA (as defined below). Churchill has engaged its affiliate, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen Asset Management” or the “Sub-Adviser”), acting through its leveraged finance division, to manage certain of its Liquid Investments (defined below) pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Nuveen Asset Management (as discussed further in Note 4). The Fund has elected, and intends to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund’s investment objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns primarily through current income and, secondarily, long-term capital appreciation, by investing in a diversified portfolio of private debt and equity investments in U.S. middle market companies owned by leading private equity firms, which the Fund defines as companies with approximately $10 million to $250 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The Fund primarily focuses on investing in U.S. middle market companies with $10 to $100 million in EBITDA, which the Fund considers the core middle market. The Fund primarily invests in first-lien senior secured debt and first-out positions in unitranche loans (collectively “Senior Loan Investments”), as well as junior debt investments, such as second-lien loans, unsecured debt, subordinated debt and last-out positions in unitranche loans (including fixed- and floating-rate instruments and instruments with payment-in-kind income) (“Junior Capital Investments”). Senior Loan Investments and Junior Capital Investments may be originated alongside smaller related common equity positions to the same portfolio companies. The portfolio also will include larger, stand-alone direct equity co-investments in private-equity backed companies that may or may not be originated alongside or separately from Senior Loan Investments and/or Junior Capital Investments to the applicable portfolio company (“Equity Co-Investments”). We target an investment portfolio consisting, directly or indirectly, of at least 50% in Senior Loan Investments, up to 30% in Junior Capital Investments and up to 20% in Equity Co-Investments. To support the Fund’s share repurchase program (as discussed further in Note 7), the Fund also will invest 5% to 10% of its assets in cash and cash equivalents, liquid fixed-income securities (including broadly syndicated loans) and other liquid credit instruments (“Liquid Investments”). The Fund was established by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”), the ultimate parent of Churchill and Nuveen, and operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of TIAA until the Escrow Break Date (as defined below). On March 30, 2022, TIAA purchased 40 shares of the Fund’s Class I shares at $25.00 per share.
On March 31, 2022, prior to the Fund’s election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, TIAA contributed certain portfolio investments to the Fund in the amount of $296,231 (fair value as of March 31, 2022). In addition, on March 31, 2022, the Fund entered into a promissory note with TIAA (the “Note”) as the lender. The principal amount of the Note equaled (i) the fair value of portfolio investments contributed as of March 31, 2022, minus (ii) $263,500 (as discussed further in Note 4). In connection therewith, the Fund issued to TIAA 10,540,000 shares of the Fund’s Class I shares of beneficial interest at $25.00 per share. On June 3, 2022, the Fund fully repaid the balance on the Note to TIAA which was comprised of $32,731 and $226 of principal and interest, respectively. NCPIF SPV I LLC (“SPV I”), a Delaware limited liability company, formed on February 25, 2022. SPV I is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund and is consolidated in these consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation. SPV I commenced operations on March 31, 2022, upon receipt of contribution of portfolio investments from TIAA to the Fund (as discussed further in Note 7). NCPIF Equity Holdings LLC (“Equity Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on April 1, 2022. Equity Holdings commenced operations on February 6, 2023. Equity Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund and is consolidated in these consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation.
NUVEEN CHURCHILL PRIVATE CAPITAL INCOME FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
The Fund is offering on a continuous basis up to $2.5 billion of any combination of three classes of common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”), Class S shares, Class D shares and Class I shares. On May 17, 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund to offer multiple classes of Common Shares and to impose varying sales loads, asset-based service and/or distribution fees and early withdrawal fees. The share classes have different ongoing shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees. None of the share classes being offered will have early withdrawal fees. The purchase price per share for each class of Common Shares will equal the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of the effective date of the monthly share purchase date. Nuveen Securities, LLC (the “Intermediary Manager”) will use its best efforts to sell Common Shares, but is not obligated to purchase or sell any specific amount of Common Shares in the offering. As of June 1, 2023 (the “Escrow Break Date”), the Fund had satisfied the minimum offering requirement and the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees” or the “Board”) authorized the release of proceeds from escrow.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company for the purposes of accounting and financial reporting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), and pursuant to Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair statement of the consolidated financial statements for the period presented, have been included. U.S. GAAP for an investment company requires investments to be recorded at fair value. The carrying value for all other assets and liabilities approximates their fair value unless otherwise disclosed within.
Consolidation
As provided under ASC 946, the Fund will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Fund. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SPV I and Equity Holdings. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Fund 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 consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and restricted cash represent cash deposits held at financial institutions, which at times may exceed U.S. federally insured limits. Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, that are readily convertible to cash and have original maturities of three months or less. Cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. As of June 30, 2023, the Fund did not hold any restricted cash.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
Investments are valued in accordance with the fair value principles established by FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC Topic 820”) and in accordance with the 1940 Act. ASC Topic 820’s definition of fair value focuses on the amount that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in the principal or most advantageous market, and prioritizes the use of market-based inputs (observable) over entity-specific inputs (unobservable) within a measurement of fair value.
NUVEEN CHURCHILL PRIVATE CAPITAL INCOME FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings, and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below:
•Level 1 — Valuations are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3 — Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
Active, publicly traded instruments are classified as Level 1 and their values are generally based on quoted market prices, even if both the market’s normal daily trading volume is not sufficient to absorb the quantity held and placing orders to sell the position in a single transaction might affect the quoted price.
Fair value is generally determined as the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly market is available for the market participants at the measurement date. If available, fair value of investments is based on directly observable market prices or on market data derived from comparable assets. The Fund’s valuation policy considers the fact that no ready market may exist for many of the securities in which it invests and that fair value for its investments must be determined using unobservable inputs.
Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the Fund's valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to determine the fair value of the Fund's investments that do not have readily available market quotations, effective beginning in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Fund's valuation policy approved by the Board, a valuation committee comprised of employees of the Adviser (the “Valuation Committee”) is responsible for determining the fair value of the Fund's assets for which market quotations are not readily available, subject to the oversight of the Board.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available (Level 3), the Valuation Designee, subject to the oversight of the Board as described below, undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as follows:
i.the quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by either the professionals of the applicable investment team that are responsible for the portfolio investment or an independent third-party valuation firm;
ii.to the extent that an independent third-party valuation firm has not been engaged by, or on behalf of, the Board of Trustees to value 100% of the portfolio, then at a minimum, an independent third-party valuation firm will be engaged by, or on behalf of, the Fund will provide positive assurance of the portfolio each quarter (such that each investment is reviewed by a third-party valuation firm at least once on a rolling 12-month basis and each watch-list investment will be reviewed each quarter), including a review of management’s preliminary valuation and recommendation of fair value;
iii.the Valuation Committee then reviews and discusses the valuations with any input, where appropriate, from the independent third-party valuation firm(s), and determine the fair value of each investment in good faith based on the Fund’s valuation policy, subject to the oversight of the Board; and
iv.the Valuation Designee provides the Board with the information relating to the fair value determination pursuant to the Fund's valuation policy in connection with each quarterly Board meeting and discuss with the Board its determination of the fair value of each investment in good faith.

The Valuation Designee makes this fair value determination on a quarterly basis and in such other instances when a decision regarding the fair value of the portfolio investments is required. Factors considered by the Valuation Designee as part of the valuation of investments include each portfolio company’s credit ratings/risk, current and projected earnings, current and expected leverage, ability to make interest and principal payments, liquidity, compliance with applicable loan covenants, and price to earnings (or other financial) ratios and those of comparable companies, as well as the estimated remaining life of the investment and current market yields and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. Other factors taken into account include changes in the interest rate environment and credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments would trade. The Valuation Designee may also base its valuation of an investment on recent investments and securities with similar structure and risk characteristics. The Valuation Designee obtains market data from its ongoing investment purchase efforts, in addition to monitoring transactions that have closed or are disclosed in industry publications. External information may include (but is not limited to) observable market data derived from the U.S. loan and equity markets. As part of compiling market data as an indication of current market conditions, management may utilize third-party sources.
When determining NAV as of the last day of a month that is not also the last day of a calendar quarter, the Adviser updates the value of securities with “readily available market quotations” (as defined in Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act) to the most recent market quotation. For securities without readily available market quotations, the Adviser generally values such assets at the most recent quarterly valuation unless the Adviser determines that a significant observable change has occurred since the most recent quarter end with respect to the investment (which determination may be as a result of a material event at a portfolio company, material change in market spreads, secondary market transaction in the securities of an investment or otherwise). If the Adviser determines such a change has occurred with respect to one or more investments, the Adviser will determine whether to update the value for each relevant investment.
The values assigned to investments are based on available information and may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, such value do not necessarily represent the amount that ultimately might be realized upon a portfolio investment's sale. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated fair value of an investment may differ from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the security existed, and the difference could be material.
The Board is responsible for overseeing the Valuation Designee’s process for determining the fair value of the Fund’s assets for which market quotations are not readily available, taking into account the Fund’s valuation risks. To facilitate the Board’s oversight of the valuation process, the Valuation Designee provides the Board with quarterly reports, annual reports, and prompt reporting of material matters affecting the Valuation Designee’s determination of fair value. As part of the Board’s oversight role, the Board may request and review additional information to be informed of the Valuation Designee’s process for determining the fair value of the Fund's investments.
Investment Transactions and Revenue Recognition
Investment transactions are recorded on the applicable trade date. Any amounts related to purchases, sales and principal paydowns that have traded, but not settled, are reflected as either a receivable for investments sold or payable for investments purchased on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on a specific identification basis and are included as net realized gain (loss) on investments in the consolidated statements of operations. Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and reflects the period-to-period change in fair value and cost of investments.
Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on loans, and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund accrues interest income if it expects that ultimately it will be able to collect such income.
The Fund may have loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) income provisions. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity. If at any point the Fund believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest is generally reversed through PIK income. This non-cash source of income is included when determining what must be paid out to shareholders in the form of distributions in order for the Fund to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC, even though the Fund has not yet collected cash. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the loans in the portfolio with PIK income provisions was $64,683 and $70,361, respectively, which represents approximately 16.60% and 20.13% of total investments at fair value, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company earned $506 and $1,074, respectively, in PIK income. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period February 8, 2022 (inception) through June 30, 2022, the Company earned $239 and $239, respectively, in PIK income. As of June 30, 2023, there were no PIK loans in the Fund's portfolio on non-accrual status.

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio companies and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company earned $25 and $98, respectively, in dividend income. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period February 8, 2022 (inception) through June 30, 2022, the Company did not earn any dividend income on its equity investments.
Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, and prepayment fees associated with the Fund’s investment activities, as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by the Fund to its portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company earned other income of $12 and $31, respectively, primarily related to prepayment fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period from February 8, 2022 (inception) to June 30, 2022, the Fund did not earn other income.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when a payment default occurs on a loan in the portfolio, or if management otherwise believes that the issuer of the loan will not be able to make contractual interest payments or principal payments. The Fund will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest is current through payment, or until a restructuring occurs such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, the Fund remains contractually entitled to this interest. The Fund may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. Accrued interest is written-off when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31,2022, there were no loans in the Fund's portfolio on non-accrual status.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs include capitalized expenses related to the closing or amendments of borrowings. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed on the straight-line basis over the term of the borrowings. The amortization of such costs is included in interest and debt financing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized balance of such costs is included as a direct deduction from the related liability in the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.
Organization and Offering Costs
Organization costs consist of primarily legal, incorporation and accounting fees incurred in connection with the organization of the Fund. Organization costs are expensed as incurred and are shown in the Fund's consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 4 for further details on the Expense Support Agreement. Offering costs consist primarily of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offering of Common Shares, as well as legal, printing and other costs associated with the preparation and filing of the registration statements and offering materials. Offering costs are recognized as a deferred charge, amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months and are shown in the Fund's consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, offering costs of $115 and $313, respectively, were incurred, and $150 and $281, respectively, were amortized and recognized as offering costs on the consolidated statements of operations, and covered under the Expense Support Agreement. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period February 8, 2022 (inception) through June 30, 2022, offering costs of $92 and $150, respectively, were incurred, and $36 and $40, respectively, were amortized and recognized as offering costs on the consolidated statements of operations, and covered under the Expense Support Agreement. Refer to Note 4 for further details on the Expense Support Agreement. Income Taxes
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund has elected, and intends to qualify annually, to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then the Fund is generally required to pay U.S. federal income taxes only on the portion of its taxable income and capital gains it does not distribute.
The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require the Fund to distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (“ICTI”), as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Fund may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
In addition, based on the excise distribution requirements, the Fund is subject to a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Fund distributes in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ended October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in the preceding year. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Fund that is subject to U.S. federal income tax is considered to have been distributed. The Fund intends to timely distribute to our shareholders substantially all of our annual taxable income for each year, except that the Fund may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment and, depending upon the level of taxable income earned in a year, we may choose to carry forward ICTI for distribution in the following year and pay any applicable U.S. federal excise tax.
The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely than not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. SPV I is a disregarded entity for tax purposes and will be consolidated with the tax return of the Fund. Equity Holdings has elected to be classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes, if any, are included in income tax expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not incur any excise tax expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period February 8, 2022 (inception) through June 30, 2022, the Company did not incur any excise tax expense.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
The Fund has declared distributions each month beginning in September 2022 through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and expects to continue to pay regular monthly distributions to the extent the Fund has taxable income available. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Board of Trustees and will depend on the Fund’s earnings, financial condition, maintenance of its tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board of Trustees may deem relevant from time to time. Although the gross distribution per share is generally equivalent for each share class, the net distribution for each share class is reduced for any class specific expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if any.
Functional Currency
The functional currency of the Fund is the U.S. Dollar and all transactions were in U.S. Dollars.
Recent Accounting Standards Updates
The FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting in March 2020. This update provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications, hedge accounting, and other transactions subject to meeting certain criteria. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discounted because of reference rate reform, and was effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, the Fund has amended substantially all of its agreements that have LIBOR as a reference rate to an alternate rate. Contract modifications may be required to be evaluated in determining whether the modifications result in the establishment of new contracts or the continuation of existing contracts. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU 2022-06”), which defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Fund has adopted the accounting relief and noted no material impact on the consolidated financial statements, as relevant contract relationship modifications are made during the course of the reference rate reform transition period.

Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the period in which the transfers occur. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period from February 8, 2022 (inception) through June 30, 2022, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3.
Significant Unobservable Inputs
ASC Topic 820 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements of assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investment Type | | Fair Value at June 30, 2023 | | Valuation Techniques | | Unobservable Inputs | | Ranges | | Weighted Average |

Total | | $ | 389,275 | | | | | | | | | | |
Equity investments in the amount of $311 at June 30, 2023 have been excluded from the table above as the investments are valued using recent transaction price.

Equity investments in the amount of $1,194 at December 31, 2022 have been excluded from the table above as the investments are valued using recent transaction price.
The significant unobservable input used in the yield method is a discount rate based on comparable market yields. Significant increases in discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. The significant unobservable input used in the market approach is the performance multiple, which may include a revenue multiple, EBITDA multiple, or forward-looking metrics. The multiple is used to estimate the enterprise value of the underlying investment. An increase or decrease in the multiple would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value. A recent transaction, if applicable, may also be factored into the valuation if the transaction price is believed to be an indicator of value.
Alternative valuation methodologies may be used as deemed appropriate for debt or equity investments, and may include, but are not limited to, a market analysis, income analysis, or liquidation (recovery) analysis.
Weighted average inputs are calculated based on the relative fair value of the investments.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Advisory Agreement
On March 31, 2022, the Fund entered into the Advisory Agreement. The Board of Trustees, including all of the trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Fund (the “Independent Trustees”), has approved the Advisory Agreement in accordance with, and on the basis of an evaluation satisfactory to such trustees as required by the 1940 Act. On August 3, 2022, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved Amendment No. 1 to the Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement Amendment”). The Advisory Agreement Amendment was entered into solely to extend the notice requirement for the Adviser to terminate the Advisory Agreement from 60 days to 120 days (as described below).

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
On January 10, 2023, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Advisory Agreement Amendment”) to the Investment Advisory Agreement, which became effective immediately. The Fund and the Adviser entered into the Second Advisory Agreement Amendment as a result of comments issued by securities regulators from various states in connection with their “blue sky” review of the Fund’s offering. The Second Advisory Agreement Amendment, among other things: (1) removed sunset provisions contingent upon recognition of the Common Shares as “covered securities”; (2) removed provisions entitling the Adviser to amounts owed under Sections 3 or Section 7 of the Advisory Agreement following a notice of termination of the Advisory Agreement; (3) specifies the conditions under which the Adviser may sell all or substantially all of the Fund’s assets; and (4) revised provisions to reflect conflicts of interest provisions set forth in the NASAA Omnibus Guidelines Statement of Policy adopted on March 29, 1992 and as amended on May 7, 2007 and from time to time (the “Omnibus Guidelines”).
Unless terminated earlier as described below, the Advisory Agreement will remain in effect for a period of two years from March 31, 2022 and will remain in effect from year-to-year thereafter if approved annually by the Board of Trustees or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities and, in each case, a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act, by the Adviser and may be terminated by the Adviser without penalty upon not less than 120 days’ written notice to the Fund or by the Fund without penalty upon not less than 60 days’ written notice to the Adviser. The holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities may also terminate either of the Advisory Agreement without penalty.
Base Management Fee
The management fee is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 0.75% of the value of the Fund’s net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable month. For the first calendar month in which the Fund has operations, net assets will be measured using the beginning net assets as of the Escrow Break Date. In addition, the Adviser has agreed to waive its management fee until the expiry of twelve months from the Escrow Break Date.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, base management fees earned were $165 and $165, respectively, all of which were voluntarily waived by the Adviser. As of June 30, 2023, no amounts were payable to the Adviser related to management fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period from February 8, 2022 (inception) through June 30, 2022, no management fees were earned.
Incentive Fee
The incentive fee consists of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not: (i) incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains. Each part of the incentive fee is outlined below.
Incentive Fee Based on Income
The portion based on income is based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns” means, as the context requires, either the dollar value of, or percentage rate of return on the value of net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter from, 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 Fund receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses accrued for the quarter (including the management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense or fees on any credit facilities or outstanding debt and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the incentive fee and any shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees).
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns include, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as OID, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that has not yet been received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The impact of expense support payments and recoupments (as discussed further below) are also excluded from Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns.
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Fund’s net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter, is compared to a “hurdle rate” of return of 1.50% per quarter (6% annualized).
NUVEEN CHURCHILL PRIVATE CAPITAL INCOME FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
The Fund will pay the Adviser an incentive fee quarterly in arrears with respect to Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in each calendar quarter as follows:
•No incentive fee based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in any calendar quarter in which our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.50% per quarter (6% annualized);
•100% of the dollar amount of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than a rate of return of 1.76% (7.06% annualized). The Fund refers to this portion of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 1.76%) as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Adviser with approximately 15% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 1.76% in any calendar quarter; and
•15% of the dollar amount of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceed a rate of return of 1.76% (7.06% annualized). This reflects that once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 15% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns thereafter are allocated to the Adviser.
These calculations will be pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter.
The Adviser has agreed to waive the incentive fee based on income until the expiry of twelve months from the Escrow Break Date. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, income based incentive fees were $373 and $373, respectively, all of which were voluntarily waived by the Adviser. As of June 30, 2023, no amounts were payable to the Adviser related to income based incentive fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period from February 8, 2022 (inception) through June 30, 2022, no income based incentive fees were earned.
Incentive Fee Based on Capital Gains
The second component of the incentive fee, the capital gains incentive fee, will be payable at the end of each calendar year in arrears. The amount payable will equal:
•15% of cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of such 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 as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Each year, the fee paid for the capital gains incentive fee will be net of the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fee for all prior periods. The Fund will accrue, but will not pay, a capital gains incentive fee with respect to unrealized appreciation because a capital gains incentive fee would be owed to the Adviser if the Fund was to sell the relevant investment and realize a capital gain. In no event will the capital gains incentive fee payable pursuant to the Advisory Agreement be in excess of the amount permitted by the Advisers Act, including Section 205 thereof.
The fees that are payable under the Advisory Agreement for any partial period will be appropriately prorated. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period February 8, 2022 (inception) through June 30, 2022, the Fund did not incur any incentive fee based on capital gains.
Sub-Advisory Agreement
On March 31, 2022, the Adviser entered into the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Sub-Adviser (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). The Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, also approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement in accordance with, and on the basis of an evaluation satisfactory to such trustees as required by the 1940 Act. The Sub-Adviser manages certain of the Liquid Investments pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Adviser has general oversight over the investment process on behalf of the Fund and manages the capital structure of the Fund, including, but not limited to, asset and liability management. The Adviser also has ultimate responsibility for the Fund’s performance under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Adviser will pay the Sub-Adviser monthly in arrears, 0.375% of the daily weighted average principal amount of the Liquid Investments managed by the Sub-Adviser pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
On August 3, 2022, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved Amendment No. 1 to the Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement Amendment”). The Sub-Advisory Agreement Amendment was entered into solely to extend the notice requirement applicable to both the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser to terminate the Sub-Advisory Agreement from 60 days to 120 days (as described below).
NUVEEN CHURCHILL PRIVATE CAPITAL INCOME FUND
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Unless terminated earlier as described below, the Sub-Advisory Agreement will remain in effect for a period of two years from March 31, 2022 and will remain in effect from year-to-year thereafter if approved annually by the Board of Trustees or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities and, in each case, a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Sub-Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act, by the Adviser and may be terminated by either the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser without penalty upon not less than 120 days’ written notice to the other.
Administration Agreement
On March 31, 2022, the Fund entered into an administration agreement with the Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”), which was approved by the Board of Trustees. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes the Fund with office facilities and equipment and provides clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping and other administrative services at such facilities. The Administrator performs, or oversees the performance of, the required administrative services, which include, among other things, assisting the Fund with the preparation of the financial records that the Fund is required to maintain and with the preparation of reports to shareholders and reports filed with the SEC. At the request of the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser, the Administrator also may provide significant managerial assistance on the Fund’s behalf to those portfolio companies that have accepted the Fund’s offer to provide such assistance. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC will provide the Fund with certain fund administration and bookkeeping services pursuant to a sub-administration agreement (the “Sub-Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator.
On January 10, 2023, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved Amendment No. 1 (the “Administration Agreement Amendment”) to the Administration Agreement, which became effective immediately. The Fund and the Administrator entered into the Administration Agreement Amendment as a result of comments issued by securities regulators from various states in connection with their “blue sky” review of the Fund’s offering. The Administration Agreement Amendment provides that the Indemnified Parties (as defined in the Administration Agreement) will not be entitled to indemnification for any loss or liability to the Fund or its shareholders by reason of the Indemnified Parties’ negligence or misconduct, in accordance with the Omnibus Guidelines.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Fund incurred $120 and $238, respectively, in fees under the Sub-Administrative Agreement, which are included in administration fees in the consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period February 8, 2022 (inception) through June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $65 and $75, respectively, in fees under the Sub-Administration Agreement, which are included in administration fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $420 and $246, respectively, was unpaid and included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
Intermediary Manager Agreement
On March 31, 2022, the Fund entered into an Intermediary Manager Agreement (the “Intermediary Manager Agreement”) with the Intermediary Manager, an affiliate of the Adviser. Under the terms of the Intermediary Manager Agreement, the Intermediary Manager serves as the agent and principal distributor for the Fund’s public offering of its Common Shares. The Intermediary Manager is entitled to receive distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees monthly at an annual rate of 0.85% of the value of the Fund’s net assets attributable to Class S shares as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month. The Intermediary Manager is entitled to receive distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% of the value of the Fund’s net assets attributable to Class D shares as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month. No distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees will be paid with respect to Class I shares.
The Fund will cease paying the distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees on any Class S share and Class D share in a shareholder’s account at the end of the month in which the Intermediary Manager in conjunction with the transfer agent determines that total brokerage commissions and distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees paid with respect to any such share held by such shareholder within such account would exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such share. At the end of such month, each such Class S share or Class D share will convert into a number of Class I shares (including any fractional shares), with an equivalent aggregate NAV as such share. The total underwriting compensation and total organization and offering expenses will not exceed 10% and 15%, respectively, of the gross proceeds from the offering.
The Intermediary Manager Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees and the trustees who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Fund’s distribution plan or the Intermediary Manager Agreement or by vote a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, on not more than 60 days’ written notice to the Intermediary Manager or the Adviser. The Intermediary Manager Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement
On March 31, 2022, the Fund entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Support Agreement”) with the Adviser. The Expense Support Agreement provides that, Nuveen Alternative Holdings, an affiliate of the Adviser may pay (or cause one or more of its affiliates to pay) certain expenses of the Fund, provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any interest expenses of the Fund and/or shareholder servicing fees of the Fund (each, an “Expense Payment’). Such expense payment will be made in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds no later than forty-five days after a written commitment from Nuveen Alternative Holdings to pay such expense, and/or by an offset against amounts due from the Fund to Nuveen Alternative Holdings.
Following any calendar quarter in which Available Operating Funds (as defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to the Fund’s shareholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in such calendar quarter (such amount referred to as the “Excess Operating Funds”), the Fund will pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof (each, a “Reimbursement Payment”), to Nuveen Alternative Holdings until such time as all Expense Payments made by the entity to the Fund within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter have been reimbursed. Available Operating Funds means the sum of (i) the Fund’s net investment income (including net realized short-term capital gains reduced by net realized long-term capital losses), (ii) the Fund’s net capital gains (including the excess of net realized long-term capital gains over net realized short-term capital losses) and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid to the Fund on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above). The amount of the Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter will equal the lesser of (i) the Excess Operating Funds in such quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Expense Payments made by Nuveen Alternative Holdings to the Fund within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter that have not been previously reimbursed by the Fund to Nuveen Alternative Holdings.
No Reimbursement Payment for any month will be made if (1) the annualized rate of regular cash distributions declared by the Fund at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is less than the annualized rate of regular cash distributions declared by the Fund at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates, or (2) the Fund’s Operating Expense Ratio (as defined below) at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is greater than the Operating Expense Ratio at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates. The Operating Expense Ratio is calculated by dividing the Fund’s operating costs and expenses incurred, less organizational and offering expenses, base management and incentive fees owed to the Adviser, and interest expense, by the Fund’s net assets. The Fund’s obligation to make a Reimbursement Payment will automatically become a liability of the Fund on the last business day of the applicable calendar month, except to the extent the Adviser has waived its right to receive such payment for the applicable month.
The following table presents a cumulative summary of the expense payments and reimbursement payments since the Fund’s commencement of operations, comprised primarily of organizational expenses, offering costs and professional fees:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Other Related Party Transactions
From time to time, the Adviser may pay amounts owed by the Fund to third-party providers of goods or services and the Fund will subsequently reimburse the Adviser for such amounts paid on its behalf. Amounts payable to the Adviser are settled in the normal course of business without formal payment terms. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Fund owed the Adviser $206 and $231, respectively, for reimbursements including the Fund’s allocable portion of overhead, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
Promissory Note
On March 31, 2022, the Fund entered into the Note with TIAA as the lender. The Note is issued under the purchase and sales agreement, dated as of March 31, 2022, by and among the Fund, SPV I and TIAA in connection with the contribution of portfolio investments by TIAA to the Fund (as discussed further in Note 7). The principal amount of the Note equals (i) the fair value of portfolio investments contributed as of March 31, 2022, minus (ii) $263,500. The Note was due to mature on March 30, 2023, with an interest rate of 4% per annum on the unpaid principal amount, compounded quarterly. On June 3, 2022, the Fund fully repaid the balance on the Note which was comprised of $32,731 and $226 of principal and interest, respectively.
5. SECURED BORROWINGS
In accordance with the 1940 Act, the Fund is only permitted to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is maintained at a level of at least 150% after such borrowing. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Fund’s asset coverage was 300.96% and 267.94%, respectively.
On April 19, 2022, SPV I entered into a credit agreement with the lenders from time to time parties thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the Fund, as servicer, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as collateral administrator, and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral custodian (the “Credit Agreement” and the revolving credit facility thereunder, the “Bank of America Credit Facility”).
On October 4, 2022, SPV I entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment, among other things: (i) increased the maximum amount available under the Bank of America Credit Facility from $200,000 to $250,000; and (ii) increased the rate to be paid from Daily SOFR +2.00% to Daily SOFR +2.15% with a “step up” on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the Amendment) increasing from Daily SOFR +2.15% to Daily SOFR +2.40%, as reflected in the Amendment.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets held by SPV I and bear interest based on either (x) an annual rate equal to SOFR determined for any day (“Daily SOFR”) for the relevant interest period, plus an applicable spread, or (y) the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus an applicable spread, (ii) the Prime Rate in effect for any day and (iii) Daily SOFR plus an applicable spread. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Advances under the Credit Agreement are secured by a pool of broadly-syndicated and middle-market loans subject to eligibility criteria and advance rates specified in the Credit Agreement. Advances under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid and reborrowed at any time during the Availability Period (as defined therein), and SPV I may terminate or reduce the facility amount subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank of America Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of Daily SOFR plus 2.40% per annum. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on the earlier of (i) April 19, 2027, the fifth anniversary of the effective date of April 19, 2022, or (ii) upon certain other events in connection with a refinancing under the Credit Agreement. Borrowing under the Credit Agreement is subject to certain restrictions contained in the 1940 Act.
Prior to entering into the Bank of America Credit Facility, the Fund contributed and/or sold certain assets to SPV I pursuant to a contribution and sale agreement and TIAA contributed and/or sold certain assets to SPV I pursuant to a master participation and assignment agreement, and the Fund expects to contribute and/or sell additional assets to SPV I pursuant to a contribution and sale agreement in the future. The Fund may, but will not be required to, repurchase and/or substitute certain assets previously transferred to SPV I subject to the conditions specified in the contribution and sale agreement and the Bank of America Credit Facility Agreement.
The fair value of the Bank of America Credit Facility, which would be categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2023, approximates its carrying value. The carrying amounts of the Fund’s assets and liabilities, including the credit facilities, other than investments at fair value, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The borrowing consisted of the following as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Distribution Reinvestment Plan
The Fund has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which it will reinvest all cash dividends declared by the Board of Trustees on behalf of its shareholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash, except for shareholders in certain states. As a result, if the Board of Trustees authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend or other distribution, then our shareholders who have not opted out of our distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional Common Shares, rather than receiving the cash dividend or other distribution. Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Washington investors and clients of certain participating brokers that do not permit automatic enrollment in our distribution reinvestment plan will automatically receive their distributions in cash unless they elect to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional Common Shares. Distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participating shareholder’s account to three decimal places.
As of June 30, 2023, no Common Shares were issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan.

Share Repurchase Program
Beginning no later than the first full calendar quarter following the Escrow Break Date, and at the discretion of the Board of Trustees, the Fund intends to commence a share repurchase program in which it intends to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of its Common Shares outstanding (either by number of shares or aggregate NAV) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. The Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program if it deems such action to be in the best interest of the Fund’s shareholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter, such as when a repurchase offer would place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect the Fund’s operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Fund that would outweigh the benefit of the repurchase offer. Following any such suspension, the Board of Trustees will consider on at least a quarterly basis whether the continued suspension of the Share Repurchase Program is in the best interest of the Fund and shareholders, and will reinstate the Share Repurchase Program when and if appropriate and subject to its fiduciary duty to the Fund and shareholders. However, our Board is not required to authorize the recommencement of our Share Repurchase Program within any specified period of time. The Fund intends to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the 1940 Act. All Common Shares purchased by the Fund pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued Common Shares.
Under the share repurchase program, to the extent the Fund offers to repurchase Common Shares in any particular quarter, the Fund expects to repurchase Common Shares pursuant to tender offers using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that Common Shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of such NAV (an “Early Repurchase Deduction”). The one-year holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the prospective repurchase date. The Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived in the case of repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Fund for the benefit of remaining shareholders.Common Shares. The repurchase of the Adviser’s shares, if any, will be on the same terms and subject to the same limitations as other shareholders under the Share Repurchase Program.
Payment for repurchased shares may require us to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than our Adviser would otherwise have caused these holdings to be liquidated, potentially resulting in losses, and may increase our investment-related expenses as a result of higher portfolio turnover rates. Our Adviser intends to take measures, subject to policies as may be established by our Board of Trustees, to attempt to avoid or minimize potential losses and expenses resulting from the repurchase of shares. Class I shares owned by TIAA will be subject to the following restrictions. TIAA may submit its Class I shares for repurchase beginning on March 31, 2027. Beginning March 31, 2027, the total amount of TIAA shares eligible for repurchase will be limited to no more than 1.67% of our aggregate NAV per calendar quarter; provided that, if in any quarter the total amount of aggregate repurchase requests of all classes of Common Shares does not exceed the Share Repurchase Plan limit of 5% of the aggregate NAV per calendar quarter, these redemption limits on the TIAA shares will not apply for that quarter, and TIAA will be entitled to submit its shares for repurchase up to the overall Share Repurchase Plan limits.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, no Common Shares were repurchased.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The information in this section contains forward-looking statements, which relate to future events or the future performance or financial condition of Nuveen Churchill Private Capital Income Fund, including its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, "we", "us", "our", or the "Fund") and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those set forth in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the “Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in any forward-looking statements.
Overview
We were formed as a Delaware statutory trust on February 8, 2022. We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We are externally managed by Churchill Asset Management LLC (“Churchill” or the “Adviser”), which is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments and monitoring our portfolio on an ongoing basis. The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Our investment objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns primarily through current income and, secondarily, long-term capital appreciation, by investing in a diversified portfolio of private debt and equity investments in U.S. middle market companies owned by leading private equity firms, which we define as companies with $10 million to $250 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). We primarily focus on investing in U.S. middle market companies with $10 million to $100 million of EBITDA, which we consider the core middle market.
We primarily invest in first-lien senior secured debt and first-out positions in unitranche loans (collectively “Senior Loan Investments”), as well as junior debt investments, such as second-lien loans, unsecured debt, subordinated debt and last-out positions in unitranche loans (including fixed- and floating-rate instruments and instruments with payment-in-kind income) (“Junior Capital Investments”). Senior Loan Investments and Junior Capital Investments may be originated alongside smaller related common equity positions to the same portfolio companies. Our portfolio also will include larger, stand-alone direct equity co-investments in private-equity backed companies that may or may not be originated alongside or separately from Senior Loan Investments and/or Junior Capital Investments to the applicable portfolio company (“Equity Co-Investments”). We target an investment portfolio consisting, directly or indirectly, of at least 50% in Senior Loan Investments, up to 30% in Junior Capital Investments and up to 20% in Equity Co-Investments. To support our share repurchase program, we will also invest 5% to 10% of our assets in cash and cash equivalents, liquid fixed-income securities (including broadly syndicated loans) and other liquid credit instruments (“Liquid Investments”). While we seek to achieve the targets described above, the composition of the Fund’s investment portfolio may vary from time to time due to various factors, such as market conditions and the availability of attractive investment opportunities. For example, it is possible that the Fund will from time to time maintain a portfolio exclusively comprised of Senior Loan Investments, Junior Capital Investments or other fixed-income instruments, such as during its initial ramp-up phase.
NCPIF SPV I LLC (“SPV I”) and NCPIF Equity Holdings LLC (“Equity Holdings”) are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Fund and are consolidated in these consolidated financial statements.
On March 31, 2022, prior to our election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”) contributed certain portfolio investments to the Fund and SPV I and, in connection therewith, the Fund entered into the Note (as described below) and issued Class I shares to TIAA.
Under our Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”), we have agreed to pay the Adviser an annual management fee as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. The Adviser has engaged its affiliate, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen Asset Management” or “Sub-Adviser”), acting through its leveraged finance division, to manage certain of its Liquid Investments (as defined below) pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Nuveen Asset Management (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Under the administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with Nuveen Churchill Administration LLC, as our administrator (the “Administrator”), we have agreed to reimburse the Administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including, but not limited to, our allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs. The Adviser, Nuveen Asset Management, and the Administrator are all affiliates and subsidiaries of Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”), the investment management division of TIAA.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Investments
Our level of investment activity varies substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount we have available to invest as well as the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity in the middle market, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make, and other market conditions.
To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. To the extent we qualify as a RIC, we generally will not be subject to U.S federal income tax on any income we timely distribute to our shareholders.
As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we are generally required to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.
As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Under the 1940 Act, the term “eligible portfolio company” includes all private companies, companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, and certain public companies that have listed their securities on a national securities exchange and have a market capitalization of less than $250.0 million. We also must be organized in the United States to qualify as a BDC.
Revenues
We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest income on our Senior Loan Investments, Junior Capital Investments and Liquid Investments, and capital gains and dividend income from our Equity Co-Investments in our portfolio companies. Our Senior Loan Investments typically bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Our Junior Capital Investments generally include cash paying subordinated debt (including fixed-rate subordinated loans, which may have a portion of PIK income, and floating-rate second-lien term loans), subordinated PIK notes (with no current cash payments) and/or equity securities (with no current cash payments). Our Liquid Investments includes a portfolio of cash and cash equivalents, liquid fixed-income securities (including broadly syndicated loans) and other liquid credit instruments. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid PIK interest generally will become due at the maturity date. Original Issue discounts and market discounts or premiums will be capitalized, and we will accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We will record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income.
Dividend income, if any, will be recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. In addition, we generate revenue in the form of commitment, loan origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance to our portfolio companies, and possibly consulting fees.
Expenses
Churchill, Nuveen Asset Management and their affiliates are responsible for the compensation and routine overhead expenses allocable to personnel providing investment advisory and management services to the Fund. The Fund will bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of its operations and transactions, including those costs and expenses incidental to the provision of investment advisory and management services to the Fund (such as items (iii) and (iv) listed below).

Unless Nuveen Alternative Holdings elects to cover such expenses pursuant to the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with the Adviser (the “Expense Support Agreement”), we may be obligated to reimburse Nuveen Alternative Holdings under the terms of the Expense Support Agreement for such advanced expenses. Any reimbursements will not exceed actual expenses incurred by Nuveen Alternative Holdings.
From time to time, the Adviser, the Administrator or their affiliates may pay third-party providers of goods or services. We will reimburse the Adviser, the Administrator or such affiliates thereof for any such amounts paid on our behalf. From time to time, the Adviser or the Administrator may defer or waive fees and/or rights to be reimbursed for expenses.

(1)For the period February 8, 2022 (inception) through June 30, 2022
As of June 30, 2023, our portfolio companies had a weighted average reported EBITDA of $66.3 million. These calculations include all private debt investments for which fair value is determined by the Adviser in its capacity as the valuation designee of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), and excludes quoted assets. Amounts are weighted based on fair market value of each respective investment as of its most recent quarterly valuation, which are derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our investments consisted of the following (dollar amounts in thousands):

The weighted average yields of our investments as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |
Weighted average yield on debt and income producing investments, at cost | 11.44 | % | | 10.84 | % |
Weighted average yield on debt and income producing investments, at fair value | 11.63 | % | | 10.97 | % |
Percentage of debt investments bearing a floating rate | 81.07 | % | | 76.79 | % |
Percentage of debt investments bearing a fixed rate | 18.93 | % | | 23.21 | % |
As of June 30, 2023, 78.94% and 79.28% of our debt and income producing investments at cost and at fair value, respectively, had interest rate floors that limit the minimum applicable interest rates on such loans. As of December 31, 2022, 74.64% and 74.79% of our debt and income producing investments at cost and at fair value, respectively, had interest rate floors that limit the minimum applicable interest rates on such loans..
The weighted average yield of our debt and income producing securities is not the same as a return on investment for our shareholders, but rather relates to our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of our and our subsidiary’s fees and expenses. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates as of each respective date, including accretion of original issue discount, but excluding investments on non-accrual status, if any. There can be no assurance that the weighted average yield will remain at its current level. Total weighted average yields of our debt and income producing investments, at cost, increased from 10.84% to 11.44% from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The increase in weighted average yields was primarily due to rising benchmark interest rates.
Based on current market conditions, the pace of our investment activities, including originations and repayments, may vary. The past strength of the merger and acquisition markets, fueled by historically low interest rates, environment previously led to increased originations and repayments. However, we have observed, and continue to observe, supply chain disruptions, labor and resource shortages, commodity inflation, elements of financial market instability (including rapidly rising interest rates and volatility in the banking system, particularly with small and regional banks), an uncertain economic outlook for the United States (which may include a recession), and elements of geopolitical instability (including the ongoing war in Ukraine and U.S. and China relations). There have been headwinds in the financing and merger and acquisition markets resulting from the foregoing factors. In the event that the U.S. economy enters into a protracted recession, it is possible that the results of certain U.S. middle market companies could experience deterioration. We are closely monitoring the effect of such market volatility may have on our portfolio companies and our investment activities, and we will continue to seek to invest in defensive businesses with low levels of cyclicality and strong levels of free cash flow generation. While we are not seeing signs of an overall, broad deterioration in our results or those of our portfolio companies at this time, there can be no assurance that the performance of certain of our portfolio companies will not be negatively impacted by economic conditions, which could have a negative impact on our future results.
Asset Quality
In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, we use the Adviser’s investment rating system to characterize and monitor the credit profile and expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. Each Investment Team intends to utilize a systematic, consistent approach to credit evaluation, with a particular focus on an acceptable level of debt repayment and deleveraging under a “base case” set of projections (the “Base Case”), which reflects a more conservative estimate than the set of projections provided by a prospective portfolio company, which the Advisers refer to as the “Management Case.” The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:
1.Performing - Superior: Borrower is performing significantly above Management Case.
2.Performing - High: Borrower is performing at or near the Management Case (i.e., in a range slightly below to slightly above).
3.Performing - Low Risk: Borrower is operating well ahead of the Base Case to slightly below the Management Case.
4.Performing - Stable Risk: Borrower is operating at or near the Base Case (i.e., in a range slightly below to slightly above). This is the initial rating assigned to all new borrowers.
5.Performing - Management Notice: Borrower is operating below the Base Case. Adverse trends in business conditions and/or industry outlook are viewed as temporary. There is no immediate risk of payment default and only a low to moderate risk of covenant default.
6.Watch List - Low Maintenance: Borrower is operating below the Base Case, with declining margin of protection. Adverse trends in business conditions and/or industry outlook are viewed as probably lasting for more than a year. Payment default is still considered unlikely, but there is a moderate to high risk of covenant default.
7.Watch List - Medium Maintenance: Borrower is operating well below the Base Case, but has adequate liquidity. Adverse trends are more pronounced than in Internal Risk Rating 6 above. There is a high risk of covenant default, or it may have already occurred. Payments are current, although subject to greater uncertainty, and there is a moderate to high risk of payment default.
8.Watch List - High Maintenance: Borrower is operating well below the Base Case. Liquidity may be strained. Covenant default is imminent or may have occurred. Payments are current, but there is a high risk of payment default. Negotiations to restructure or refinance debt on normal terms may have begun. Further significant deterioration appears unlikely and no loss of principal is currently anticipated.
9.Watch List - Possible Loss: At the current level of operations and financial condition, the borrower does not have the ability to service and ultimately repay or refinance all outstanding debt on current terms. Liquidity is strained. Payment default may have occurred or is very likely in the short term unless creditors grant some relief. Loss of principal is possible.
10.Watch List - Probable Loss: At the current level of operations and financial condition, the borrower does not have the ability to service and ultimately repay or refinance all outstanding debt on current terms. Payment default is very likely or may have already occurred. Liquidity is extremely limited. The prospects for improvement in the borrower’s situation are sufficiently negative that loss of some or all principal is probable.
The Adviser regularly monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment rating assigned to each investment in our portfolio. Each investment team will review the investment ratings in connection with monthly or quarterly portfolio reviews. Based on a generally uncertain economic outlook in the United States (which includes a possible recession), we have increased oversight and analysis of credits in any vulnerable industries to mitigate any decline in loan performance and reduce credit risk.

_______________
(1)For the period February 8, 2022 (inception) through June 30, 2022
A net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations will vary from period to period as a result of various factors, including the level of new investment commitments, expenses, the recognition of realized gains and losses, and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the investment portfolio.
Investment Income
On March 31, 2022, prior to the Fund’s election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, TIAA contributed certain portfolio investments to the Fund and SPV I. The Fund accrued investment income on this portfolio beginning April 1, 2022.
Investment income increased to $11.1 million and $21.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, from $6.4 million and $6.4 million for the comparable periods in the prior year, primarily due to increased investment activity and an increase in interest income from higher weighted average interest rates. As of June 30, 2023, the size of our portfolio increased to $395.3 million from $294.8 million, as of June 30, 2022, at cost. As of June 30, 2023, the weighted average yield of our debt and income producing investments increased to 11.44% from 8.70% as of June 30, 2022, at cost, primarily due to increases in base interest rates. We expect our portfolio will continue to grow as we raise and deploy capital through our offering and our investment income to grow commensurately. The shifting environment in base interest rates, such as SOFR and alternate rates, and, to a lesser extent, LIBOR, may affect our investment income over the long term.
Expenses
Total expenses before expense support increased to $3.9 million and $7.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, from $1.5 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period February 8, 2022 through June 30, 2022.
Interest and debt financing expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period February 8, 2022 through June 30, 2022 primarily due to higher average daily borrowings and higher average interest rates. The average daily borrowings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $132.3 million and $136.9 million, compared to $91.9 million and $91.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period February 8, 2022 through June 30, 2022. The average interest rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 7.75% and 7.36% compared to 3.00% and 3.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period February 8, 2022 through June 30, 2022. We anticipate certain operational expenses to decrease in relation to our income as we continue to ramp up our portfolio.
The expense support amount represents the amount of expenses paid by the Adviser on our behalf in accordance with the Expense Support Agreement. These expenses are subject to reimbursement by us in accordance with the terms of the Expense Support Agreement.
Net realized gain (loss) and Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments
We had a net realized gain on investments of $610 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily related to a sale of a portfolio company compared to a net realized loss of $(267) thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net realized gain on investments of $618 thousand primarily related to a sale of a portfolio company compared to a net realized loss of $(267) thousand for the period February 8, 2022 through June 30, 2022.
We recorded a net change in unrealized losses of $(1.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a net unrealized losses of $(1.0) million for three months ended June 30, 2022, which reflects the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio relative to its cost basis over the period. We recorded a net change in unrealized losses of $(2.2) million for the the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a net unrealized losses of $(1.0) million for the period February 8, 2022 though June 30, 2022, which reflects the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio relative to its cost basis over the period.
The total net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily related to a decrease in the fair value of our investment portfolio primarily attributable to modest softening of certain of our portfolio companies' credit metrics partially offset by tightening in market spreads.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect to generate cash primarily from (i) the net proceeds of our offering of Common Shares, (ii) cash flows from income earned from our investments and principal repayments, (iii) proceeds from net borrowings on our Bank of America Credit Facility and (iv) any future offerings of our equity or debt securities.
Our primary uses of cash will be for (i) investments in portfolio companies in accordance with investment objective and investment strategies and to comply with certain portfolio diversification requirements, (ii) the cost of operations (including paying the Adviser and the Administrator), (iii) cost of any borrowings under our Bank of America Credit Facility or other financing arrangements, and (iv) cash distributions to the holders of our Common Shares. Due to an uncertain economic outlook and current market volatility, we regularly evaluate our overall liquidity position and take proactive steps to maintain that position based on such circumstances.
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023, taken together with our available debt, is expected to be sufficient for our investment activities and to conduct our operations in the near term. As of June 30, 2023, we had $98.8 million available borrowings under our Bank of America Credit Facility.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased by $55.3 million. During that period, $26.2 million was used in operating activities, primarily due to investment purchases of $53.5 million, offset by $13.4 million in repayments and sales of investments in portfolio companies. During the same period, $29.1 million was used in financing activities, consisting primarily of proceeds from secured borrowings of $42.0 million, and repayments of secured borrowings of $64.0 million.
Net Worth of Sponsors
The North American Securities Administrators Association (“NASAA’), in its Omnibus Guidelines Statement of Policy adopted on March 29, 1992 and as amended on May 7, 2007 and from time to time (the “Omnibus Guidelines”), requires that our affiliates and Adviser, or our Sponsor, as defined under the Omnibus Guidelines, have an aggregate financial net worth, exclusive of home, automobiles and home furnishings, of the greater of either $100,000, or 5.0% of the first $20 million of both the gross amount of securities currently being offered in our offering and the gross amount of any originally issued direct participation program securities sold by our affiliates and sponsors within the past 12 months, plus 1.0% of all amounts in excess of the first $20 million. Based on these requirements, our Adviser and its affiliates, while not liable directly or indirectly for any indebtedness we may incur, have an aggregate financial net worth in excess of those amounts required by the Omnibus Guidelines Statement of Policy.
Equity
The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares at $0.01 per share par value. On March 30, 2022, we issued an initial 40 Class I shares to TIAA in connection with our formation. On March 31, 2022, TIAA contributed certain portfolio investments in the amount of $296.2 million (fair value as of March 31, 2022) and we entered into a promissory note with TIAA (the “Note”) as the lender. In connection therewith, we issued to TIAA 10,540,000 shares of our Class I shares of beneficial interest at $0.01 per share. We fully repaid the balance of the Note to TIAA on June 3, 2022.
As of June 1, 2023 (the “Escrow Break Date”), the Fund had satisifed the minimum offering requirement and the Board authorized the release of proceeds from escrow.

(1)Represents monthly dividend of $0.14 per share for each of April 2022, May 2022 and June 2022, and monthly dividend of $0.15 per share for each of July 2022, August 2022 and September 2022.
(2)Comprised of $0.19 regular dividend and $0.105 supplemental dividend attributable to accrued net investment income.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
The Fund has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which it will reinvest all cash dividends declared by the Board of Trustees on behalf of its shareholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash, except for shareholders in certain states. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend or other distribution, then our shareholders who have not opted out of our distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional Common Shares, rather than receiving the cash dividend or other distribution. Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Washington investors and clients of certain participating brokers that do not permit automatic enrollment in our distribution reinvestment plan will automatically receive their distributions in cash unless they elect to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional Common Shares. Distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participating shareholder’s account to three decimal places.
As of June 30, 2023, no Common Shares were issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan.
Share Repurchase Program
Beginning no later than the first full calendar quarter following the Escrow Break Date, and at the discretion of the Board of Trustees, the Fund intends to commence a share repurchase program in which it intends to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of its Common Shares outstanding (either by number of shares or aggregate NAV) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. The Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program if it deems such action to be in the best interest of the Fund’s shareholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter, such as when a repurchase offer would place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect the Fund’s operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Fund that would outweigh the benefit of the repurchase offer. Following any such suspension, the Board of Trustees will consider on at least a quarterly basis whether the continued suspension of the Share Repurchase Program is in the best interest of the Fund and shareholders, and will reinstate the Share Repurchase Program when and if appropriate and subject to its fiduciary duty to the Fund and shareholders. However, our Board of Trustees is not required to authorize the recommencement of our Share Repurchase Program within any specified period of time. The Fund intends to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act and the 1940 Act. All Common Shares purchased by the Fund pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued.
Under the share repurchase program, to the extent the Fund offers to repurchase Common Shares in any particular quarter, the Fund expects to repurchase Common Shares pursuant to tender offers using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that Common Shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of such NAV (an “Early Repurchase Deduction”). The one-year holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the prospective repurchase date. The Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived in the case of repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Fund for the benefit of remaining shareholders. Common Shares. The repurchase of the Adviser’s shares, if any, will be on the same terms and subject to the same limitations as other shareholders under the Share Repurchase Program.
Payment for repurchased shares may require us to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than our Adviser would otherwise have caused these holdings to be liquidated, potentially resulting in losses, and may increase our investment-related expenses as a result of higher portfolio turnover rates. Our Adviser intends to take measures, subject to policies as may be established by our Board of Trustees, to attempt to avoid or minimize potential losses and expenses resulting from the repurchase of shares. Class I shares owned by TIAA will be subject to the following restrictions. TIAA may submit its Class I shares for repurchase beginning on March 31, 2027. Beginning March 31, 2027, the total amount of TIAA shares eligible for repurchase will be limited to no more than 1.67% of our aggregate NAV per calendar quarter; provided that, if in any quarter the total amount of aggregate repurchase requests of all classes of Common Shares does not exceed the Share Repurchase Plan limit of 5% of the aggregate NAV per calendar quarter, these redemption limits on the TIAA shares will not apply for that quarter, and TIAA will be entitled to submit its shares for repurchase up to the overall Share Repurchase Plan limits.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, no Common Shares were repurchased.
Income Taxes
The Fund has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Fund also intends to qualify annually to be treated, as a RIC under the Code. So long as the Fund maintains its RIC tax treatment, it generally will not be subject to U.S federal income tax on any ordinary income or capital gains that it timely distributes to its shareholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Fund would represent obligations of the Fund’s investors and would not be reflected in the financial statements of the Fund.
The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Fund must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Fund must distribute to its shareholders, for each taxable year, at least the sum of (i) 90% of its “investment company taxable income” for that year (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long-term capital losses and (ii) 90% of its net tax-exempt income.
In addition, based on the excise tax distribution requirements, the Fund is subject to a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Fund distributes in a timely manner in each taxable year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in prior years. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Fund that is subject to corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed.
Bank of America Credit Facility
In accordance with the 1940 Act, the Fund is only permitted to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is maintained at a level of at least 150% after such borrowing. The Fund’s asset coverage was 300.96% as of June 30, 2023.
On April 19, 2022, SPV I entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement” and the revolving credit facility thereunder, the “Bank of America Credit Facility”) with the lenders from time to time parties thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the Fund, as servicer, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as collateral administrator, and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral custodian.
On October 4, 2022, SPV I entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment, among other things: (i) increased the maximum amount available under the Bank of America Credit Facility from $200 million to $250 million; and (ii) increased the rate to be paid from Daily SOFR plus 2.00% to Daily SOFR plus 2.15% with a “step up” on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the Amendment) increasing from Daily SOFR plus 2.15% to Daily SOFR plus 2.40%, as reflected in the Amendment.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets held by SPV I and bear interest based on either (x) an annual rate equal to SOFR determined for any day (“Daily SOFR”) for the relevant interest period, plus an applicable spread, or (y) the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus an applicable spread, (ii) the Prime Rate in effect for any day and (iii) Daily SOFR plus an applicable spread. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Advances under the Credit Agreement are secured by a pool of broadly-syndicated and middle-market loans subject to eligibility criteria and advance rates specified in the Credit Agreement. Advances under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid and reborrowed at any time during the Availability Period (as defined therein), and SPV I may terminate or reduce the facility amount subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank of America Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of SOFR, reset daily plus 2.40% per annum. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on the earlier of (i) April 19, 2027, the fifth anniversary of the effective date of April 19, 2022, or (ii) upon certain other events in connection with a refinancing under the Credit Agreement. Borrowing under the Credit Agreement is subject to certain restrictions contained in the 1940 Act.
Prior to the closing of the Bank of America Credit Facility, the Fund contributed and/or sold certain assets to SPV I pursuant to a contribution and sale agreement and TIAA contributed and/or sold certain assets to SPV I pursuant to a master participation and assignment agreement, and the Fund expects to contribute and/or sell additional assets to SPV I pursuant to a contribution and sale agreement in the future. The Fund may, but will not be required to, repurchase and/or substitute certain assets previously transferred to SPV I subject to the conditions specified in the contribution and sale agreement and the Credit Agreement.
The fair value of the Bank of America Credit Facility, which would be categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022, approximates their carrying values. The following table presents outstanding borrowing as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
•the Advisory Agreement
•the Sub-Advisory Agreement
•the Administration Agreement; and
•the Expense Support Agreement
In addition to the aforementioned agreements, the SEC has granted an exemptive order (the “Order”) that permits us to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with certain other funds and accounts sponsored or managed by either of the Adviser and/or their affiliates. Co-investment under the Order is subject to certain conditions therein, including the condition that, in the case of each co-investment transaction, the Board of Trustees determines that it would be in the Fund’s best interest to participate in the transaction. Neither we nor the affiliated funds are obligated to invest or co-invest when investment opportunities are referred to us or them.
In addition, pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC on April 8, 2020 and applicable to all BDCs through December 31, 2020 (the “Temporary Relief”), BDCs were permitted, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to complete follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies with certain affiliates that are private funds if such private funds did not hold an investment in such existing portfolio company. Without the Temporary Relief, such private funds would not be able to participate in such follow-on investments unless the private funds had previously acquired securities of the portfolio company in a co-investment transaction with the BDC. Although the Temporary Relief expired on December 31, 2020, the SEC’s Division of Investment Management had indicated that until March 31, 2022, it would not recommend enforcement action, to the extent that any BDC with an existing co-investment order continues to engage in certain transactions described in the Temporary Relief, pursuant to the same terms and conditions described therein. The conditional exemptive order is no longer effective; however, on October 14, 2022, the SEC granted the Fund’s request to amend the Order to make the Temporary Relief permanent for the Fund and permit the Fund to complete follow-on investments in its existing portfolio companies with certain affiliates that are private funds if such private funds do not hold an investment in such existing portfolio company.
Expense Support Agreement
We have entered into the Expense Support Agreement with the Adviser. The Expense Support Agreement provides that, at such times as it determines, Nuveen Alternative Holdings may pay (or cause one or more of its affiliates to pay) certain expenses of the Fund, including organization and offering expenses, provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any interest expense and/or shareholder servicing fees of the Fund (each, an “Expense Payment”). Such Expense Payment will be made in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds no later than forty-five days after a written commitment from Nuveen Alternative Holdings to pay such expense, and/or by an offset against amounts due from us to Nuveen Alternative Holdings.
Following any calendar month in which Available Operating Funds (as defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to our shareholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in such calendar month (such amount referred to as the “Excess Operating Funds”), we will pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof (each, a “Reimbursement Payment”), to Nuveen Alternative Holdings that previously paid such expenses, until such time as all Expense Payments made by such entity within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter have been reimbursed. “Available Operating Funds” means the sum of (i) net investment income (including net realized short-term capital gains reduced by net realized long-term capital losses), (ii) net capital gains (including the excess of net realized long-term capital gains over net realized short-term capital losses) and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above). The amount of the Reimbursement Payment for any calendar month will equal the lesser of (i) the Excess Operating Funds in such quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Expense Payments made by Nuveen Alternative Holdings to us within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter that have not been previously reimbursed by us to Nuveen Alternative Holdings.
The Expense Support Agreement provides additional restrictions on the amount of each Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter and no Reimbursement Payment will be made for any month if: (1) the annualized rate (based on a 365-day year) of regular cash distributions per share of common stock declared by our Board of Trustees exclusive of returns of capital, distribution rate reductions due to any fees (including to a transfer agent) payable in connection with distributions, and any declared special dividends or distributions (the “Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share”) declared by us at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is less than the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates, or (2) our Operating Expense Ratio (as defined below) at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is greater than the Operating Expense Ratio at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates. The “Operating Expense Ratio” is calculated by dividing Operating Expenses (as defined below), less organizational and offering expenses, base management and incentive fees owed to the Adviser, and interest expense, by our net assets. “Operating Expenses” means all of our operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Adviser may waive its right to receive all or a portion of any Reimbursement Payment in any particular calendar quarter, so that such Reimbursement Payment may be reimbursable in a future calendar quarter within three years of the date of the applicable Expense Payment.
The Fund’s obligation to make a Reimbursement Payment will automatically become a liability of the Fund on the last business day of the applicable calendar month, except to the extent the Adviser has waived the right to receive such payment for the applicable month.
The following table presents a cumulative summary of the expense payments and reimbursement payments since the Fund’s commencement of operations (dollar amounts in thousands):

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of its business, the Fund enters into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. Future events could occur which may give rise to liabilities arising from these provisions against us. We believe that the likelihood of such an event is remote; however, the maximum potential exposure is unknown. No accrual has been made in the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We may in the future become obligated to fund commitments such as delayed draw commitments.
For more information on our off-balance sheet arrangements, commitments and contingencies see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Our critical accounting policies and estimates, including those relating to the valuation of our portfolio investments, are described below. We consider the most significant accounting policies to be those related to our Valuation of Portfolio Investments, Revenue Recognition, and U.S. Federal Income Taxes, which are described below. The valuation of investments is our most significant critical accounting estimate. The critical accounting policies and estimates should be read in connection with our risk factors as disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2023.
Valuation of Portfolio investments
Consistent with U.S. GAAP and the 1940 Act, we conduct a valuation of our assets, pursuant to which our net asset value is determined.
Our assets are valued on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the Fund's valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to determine the fair value of the Fund's investments that do not have readily available market quotations, effective beginning in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Fund's valuation policy approved by the Board, a valuation committee comprised of employees of the Adviser (the “Valuation Committee”) is responsible for determining the fair value of the Fund's assets for which market quotations are not readily available, subject to the oversight of the Board.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at those market quotations. Market quotations are obtained from independent pricing services, where available. Generally investments marked in this manner will be marked at the mean of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained. To validate market quotations, we utilize a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of the quotations.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, we or an independent third-party valuation firm engaged by the Valuation Designee, will take into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of our investments, including and in combination of: comparison to publicly traded securities, including factors such as yield, maturity and measures of credit quality; the enterprise value of a portfolio company; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows; and the markets in which the portfolio company does business. Investment performance data utilized are the most recently available financial statements and compliance certificates received from the portfolio companies as of the measurement date which in many cases may reflect a lag in information. The independent third-party valuation firm provides a fair valuation report, a description of the methodology used to determine the fair value and their analysis and calculations to support their conclusion.
When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate our valuation.
U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which ranks the level of observability of market price inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment and state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value. We review pricing and methodologies in order to determine if observable market information is being used, versus unobservable inputs.
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.
For more information on the fair value hierarchy, our framework for determining fair value and the composition of our portfolio see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Revenue Recognition
Our revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Net realized gains (losses) on investments: Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method
Investment Income: Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on loans are recorded on the accrual basis. We accrue interest income based on the effective yield if we expect that, ultimately, we will be able to collect such income. We may have loans in our portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) income provisions. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity.
Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, and prepayment fees associated with our investment activities as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by us to our portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.
Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the 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 securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies.
Non-accrual: Generally, if a payment default occurs on a loan in the portfolio, or if management otherwise believes that the issuer of the loan will not be able to make contractual interest payments or principal payments, the Sub-Adviser will place the loan on non-accrual status and we will cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible even though we remain contractually entitled to this interest. We may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. Accrued interest is written off when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated.
U.S. Federal Income Taxes
We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We have elected, and intend to qualify annually, to be treated as a RIC under the Code. So long as we maintain our qualification as a RIC, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any ordinary income or capital gains that we timely distribute at least annually to our shareholders as dividends. As a result, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by us represents obligations of our shareholders and will not be reflected in our consolidated financial statements.
We evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reversed and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
Our accounting policy on income taxes is critical because if we are unable to maintain our status as a RIC, we would be required to record a provision for U.S. federal income taxes which may be significant to our financial results.
Contractual Obligations
We have entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Adviser to provide us with investment advisory services and the Administration Agreement with the Administrator to provide us with administrative services. Payments for investment advisory services under the Advisory Agreement and reimbursements under the Administration Agreement.
We entered into the Bank of America Credit Facility and intend to establish more credit facilities or enter into other financing arrangements to facilitate investments and the timely payment of our expenses. It is anticipated that any such credit facilities will bear interest at floating rates at to-be-determined spreads, such as SOFR. We cannot assure shareholders that we will be able to enter into a credit facility on favorable terms or at all. In connection with a credit facility or other borrowings, lenders may require us to pledge assets, commitments and/or drawdowns (and the ability to enforce the payment thereof) and may ask to comply with positive or negative covenants that could have an effect on our operations.
Promissory Note
On March 31, 2022, we entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) with TIAA as the lender. The Note is issued under the Purchase and Sales Agreement dated as of March 31, 2022, by and among the Fund, SPV I and TIAA in connection with the contribution of portfolio investments by TIAA to the Fund and SPV I. The principal amount of the Note equals (i) the fair value of portfolio investments contributed as of March 31, 2022, minus (ii) $263.5 million. The Note was due to mature on March 30, 2023, with an interest rate of 4% per annum on the unpaid principal amount, compounded quarterly.
On June 3, 2022, the Fund fully repaid the balance on the Note to TIAA which was comprised of $32.7 million and $0.2 million of principal and interest, respectively.
Recent Developments
On July 28, 2023, the Board declared a regular distribution for Class I shares of beneficial interest in the amount of $0.25 per share and a special distribution for Class I shares of beneficial interest in the amount of $0.02 per share. The distribution is payable to Class I shareholders of record as of July 31, 2023 and the payment date is on August 28, 2023.
Inclusive of the July 3, 2023 and August 1, 2023 subscriptions, the Fund has received approximately $289.6 million of net proceeds relating to the issuance of Class I shares.
On August 2, 2023, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to the Advisory Agreement, which became effective immediately. The Fund and the Adviser entered into Amendment No. 3 as a result of comments issued by state securities regulators in connection with their “blue sky” review of the Fund’s offering. Amendment No. 3 includes specific language in the Omnibus Guidelines required by a state securities regulator.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Uncertainty with respect to, among other things, the rising interest rates, inflationary pressures, risks relating to a failure to increase the U.S. debt ceiling, and the failure of major financial institutions introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, and the effects of this volatility has materially impacted and could continue to materially impact our market risks, including those listed below
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 do not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, as the valuation designee, in accordance with our valuation policy subject to the oversight of the Board and, based on, among other things, the input of the independent third-party valuation firms engaged at the direction of the valuation designee. 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 and such differences could be material.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, variability of spread relationships, the difference in re-pricing internals between our assets and liabilities and the effect that interest rates may have on our cash flows. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. Our net investment income is also affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including the replacement of LIBOR with alternate rates and prime rates, to the extent our debt investments include floating interest rates. 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.
Since March 2022, the Federal Reserve has been rapidly raising interest rates and has indicated that it would consider additional rate hikes in response to ongoing inflation concerns. In a rising interest rate environment, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income if there is not a corresponding increase in interest income generated by our investment portfolio. It is possible that the Federal Reserve's tightening cycle could result in leading the United States into a recession, which would likely decrease interest rates. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in base rates, such as SOFR or other alternate rates, are not offset by corresponding increases in the spread over such base rate that we earn on any portfolio investments, a decrease in our operating expenses, or a decrease in the interest rate associated with our borrowings.
As of June 30, 2023, on a fair value basis, approximately 18.93% of our debt investments bear interest at a fixed rate and approximately 81.07% of our debt investments bear interest at a floating rate. As of June 30, 2023, 97.80% of our floating rate debt investments are subject to interest rate floors. Additionally, the Bank of America Credit Facility is also subject to floating interest rates and are currently paid based on floating SOFR rates.
The following table estimates the potential changes in net cash flow generated from interest income and expenses, should interest rates increase by 100, 200 or 300 basis points, or decrease by 100, 200 or 300 basis points. Interest income is calculated as revenue from interest generated from our portfolio of investments held on June 30, 2023. Interest expense is calculated based on the terms of the Bank of America Credit Facility, using the outstanding balance as of June 30, 2023. Interest expense on the Bank of America Credit Facility is calculated using the interest rate as of June 30, 2023, adjusted for the impact of hypothetical changes in rates, as shown below. The base interest rate case assumes the rates on our portfolio investments remain unchanged from the actual effective interest rates as of June 30, 2023. These hypothetical calculations are based on a model of the investments in our portfolio, held as of June 30, 2023, and are only adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the table (dollars amounts in thousands).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of 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 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 that evaluation, we, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023 and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
(b) Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
This quarterly report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.
(c) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II - Other Information
None.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We, and our consolidated subsidiaries, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings threatened against us or them. From time to time, we, our consolidated subsidiaries and/or the Adviser and Sub-Adviser may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Our business is subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except for the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the information under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023, which is accessible on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. The alternative reference rates that have replaced LIBOR in our credit arrangements and other financial instruments may not yield the same or similar economic results as LIBOR over the life of such transactions.
LIBOR is an index rate that historically was widely used in lending transactions and was a common reference rate for setting the floating interest rate on private loans. LIBOR was typically the reference rate used in floating-rate loans extended to our portfolio companies.
The ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) (the entity that is responsible for calculating LIBOR) ceased providing overnight, one, three, six and twelve months USD LIBOR tenors on June 30, 2023. In addition, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA"), which oversees the IBA, now prohibits entities supervised by the FCA from using LIBOR, including USD LIBOR, except in very limited circumstances.
In the United States, SOFR is the preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. SOFR is a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and is based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase transactions. SOFR is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York each U.S. Government Securities Business Day, for transactions made on the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day. Alternative reference rates that may replace LIBOR, including SOFR for USD transactions, may not yield the same or similar economic results as LIBOR over the lives of such transactions.
As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, substantially all of our loans that referenced LIBOR have been amended to reference the forward-looking term rate published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited based on the secured overnight financing rate (“CME Term SOFR”). CME Term SOFR rates are forward-looking rates that are derived by compounding projected overnight SOFR rates over one, three, and six months taking into account the values of multiple consecutive, executed, one-month and three-month CME Group traded SOFR futures contracts and, in some cases, over-the-counter SOFR Overnight Indexed Swaps as an indicator of CME Term SOFR reference rate values. CME Term SOFR and the inputs on which it is based are derived from SOFR. Because CME Term SOFR is a relatively new market rate, there will likely be no established trading market for credit agreements or other financial instruments when they are issued, and an established market may never develop or may not be liquid. Market terms for instruments referencing CME Term SOFR rates may be lower than those of later-issued CME Term SOFR indexed instruments. Similarly, if CME Term SOFR does not prove to be widely used, the trading price of instruments referencing CME Term SOFR may be lower than those of instruments indexed to indices that are more widely used.
There can be no guarantee that SOFR will not be discontinued or fundamentally altered in a manner that is materially adverse to the interests of investors in loans referencing SOFR. If the manner in which SOFR or CME Term SOFR is calculated is changed, that change may result in a reduction of the amount of interest payable on such loans and the trading prices of the SOFR Loans. In addition, there can be no guarantee that loans referencing SOFR or CME Term SOFR will continue to reference those rates until maturity or that, in the future, our loans will reference benchmark rates other than CME Term SOFR. Should any of these events occur, our loans, and the yield generated thereby, could be affected. Specifically, the anticipated yield on our loans may not be fully realized and our loans may be subject to increased pricing volatility and market risk.
Our business is dependent on bank relationships and recent strain on the banking system may adversely impact us.
The financial markets recently have encountered volatility associated with concerns about the balance sheets of banks, especially small and regional banks that may have significant losses associated with investments that make it difficult to fund demands to withdraw deposits and other liquidity needs. Although the federal government has announced measures to assist these banks and protect depositors, some banks have already been impacted and others may be materially and adversely impacted. Our business is dependent on bank relationships, including small and regional banks, and we are proactively monitoring the financial health of banks with which we (or our portfolio companies) do or may in the future do business. To the extent that our portfolio companies work with banks that are negatively impacted by the foregoing, such portfolio companies’ ability to access their own cash, cash equivalents and investments may be threatened. In addition, such affected portfolio companies may not be able to enter into new banking arrangements or credit facilities, or receive the benefits of their existing banking arrangements or credit facilities. Any such developments could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results, and prevent us from fully implementing our investment plan. Continued strain on the banking system may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
