(1)
Certain of the securities are issued by affiliate(s) of the listed portfolio company.
(2)
Interest rates represent the weighted average annual stated interest rate on loans and debt securities in effect on the date presented, which are presented by the nature of indebtedness by a single issuer. Some loans and debt securities bear interest at variable rates, primarily one-month LIBOR, with interest rate floors. Payment-in-kind interest (“PIK”) represents contractually deferred interest that is typically compounded into the principal balance of the loan or debt security, if not paid on a current basis. PIK interest may be prepaid by the portfolio company’s election, but generally is paid upon a change of control transaction or maturity. The maturity date represents the latest date in which the loan or debt security is scheduled to terminate.
(3)
Included in cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheets.
(4)
Some or all of the securities are non-income producing.
(5)
Loan is on non-accrual status and therefore considered non-income producing.
(6)
All or a portion of the investments or instruments are pledged as collateral under various secured financing arrangements.
(7)
Investments that are not “qualifying assets” under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, we may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets.
(8)
For further discussion on the WRH, Inc. Equity Option, see Note 14 to our interim consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Interest rates represent the weighted average annual stated interest rate on loans and debt securities in effect on the date presented, which are presented by the nature of indebtedness by a single issuer. Some loans and debt securities bear interest at variable rates, primarily one-month LIBOR, with interest rate floors. PIK represents contractually deferred interest that is typically compounded into the principal balance of the loan or debt security, if not paid on a current basis. PIK interest may be prepaid by the portfolio company’s election, but generally is paid upon a change of control transaction or maturity. The maturity date represents the latest date in which the loan or debt security is scheduled to terminate.

AMERICAN CAPITAL, LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(in millions, except per share data)
 
Note 1. Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Interim consolidated financial statements of American Capital, Ltd. (which is referred to throughout this report as “American Capital”, “we”, “us” and “our”) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods have been included. The current period’s consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain prior period amounts in our interim consolidated financial statements to conform to our current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on prior periods’ net earnings or shareholders’ equity.
Consolidation
Under the investment company rules and regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X, the SEC’s Division of Investment Management’s consolidation guidance in IM Guidance Update No. 2014-11 issued in October 2014 and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company that acts as an extension of our investment operations and facilitates the execution of our investment strategy. An exception to this guidance occurs if we have an investment in a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services to us.
We currently consolidate ACAS Funding I, LLC and ACAS Funding II, LLC, which are wholly-owned special purpose financing vehicles that were formed for the purpose of purchasing first and second lien floating rate loans to large-market U.S. based companies (“Senior Floating Rate Loans”) under a $1.25 billion secured revolving credit facility and $500 million secured revolving credit facility, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, ACAS Funding I, LLC and ACAS Funding II, LLC did not have any other operations or activities. We also consolidate American Capital TRS, LLC (“ACTRS”), which is a wholly-owned entity that has entered into non-recourse total return swaps (“TRS”) with Citibank, N.A. As of March 31, 2015, ACTRS did not have any other operations or activities. The TRS is accounted for as a derivative pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
Our consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of European Capital, which is a wholly-owned investment company entity that, effective October 1, 2014, acts as an extension of our investment operations and facilitates the execution of our investment strategy. Our consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of AC Corporate Holdings, Inc. (“ACCH”), which is a wholly-owned entity that has purchases and holds numerous investment securities on behalf of American Capital. As of March 31, 2015, European Capital and ACCH did not have any other operations or activities and were considered to be investment companies under ASC 946, as amended by Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-08, Financial Services-Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements. 
Note 2. Organization
We are a non-diversified closed end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). As a BDC, we primarily invest in senior and mezzanine debt and equity in buyouts of private companies sponsored by us (“American Capital One Stop Buyouts®”) or sponsored by other private equity funds and provide capital directly to early stage and mature private and small public companies (“Sponsor Finance Investments”). We also invest in Senior Floating Rate Loans and structured finance investments (“Structured Products”), including collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) securities and commercial mortgages and commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”). Our primary business objectives are to increase our net earnings and net asset value (“NAV”) by making investments with attractive current yields and/or potential for equity appreciation and realized gains.
Through our tax years ended September 30, 1998 through September 30, 2010, we qualified to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Effective with our tax year ended September 30, 2011, we did not qualify to be taxed as a RIC and became subject to taxation as a corporation

39


AMERICAN CAPITAL, LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(unaudited)
(in millions, except per share data)


under Subchapter C of the Code (a “Subchapter C corporation”). This change in tax status does not affect our status as a BDC under the 1940 Act or our compliance with the portfolio composition requirements of that statute.
Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements
    
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. An entity is required to apply the guidance in ASU 2015-03 on a retrospective basis such that the balance sheet of each individual period presented is adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Upon transition, an entity is required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in accounting principle including the nature and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted and the effect of the change on the financial statement line items (that is, debt issuance cost asset and the debt liability). ASU 2015-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-03 and do not believe its adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (“ASU 2015-07”), which removes the requirement to include, as well as provide certain disclosure for, investments in the fair value hierarchy for which the fair value is measured at net asset value using the practical expedient. Disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-07 and do not believe its adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 4. Investments

Our investments consist of loans and securities issued by public and privately-held companies, including senior debt, mezzanine debt, equity warrants and preferred and common equity securities. We also invest in Structured Products, which includes CLO securities and CMBS.
We fair value our investments in accordance with the 1940 Act and FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. We undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter to determine the fair value of our investments in accordance with ASC 820. The quarterly valuation process begins with the development of a preliminary valuation recommendation for each investment by our Financial Advisory and Consulting Team (“FACT”), which is composed of valuation and audit professionals responsible for monitoring portfolio compliance and valuations. In preparing the preliminary valuation recommendations, FACT receives assistance from our investment professionals that both originated and monitor the investment as well as assistance from other departments including operations, accounting and legal. The preliminary valuation recommendations are reviewed by senior management and then presented to our Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee for review and approval. Subsequent to the approval from our Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee, the valuation recommendations are sent to our Board of Directors for final approval.
When available, we base the fair value of our investments that trade in active markets on directly observable market prices or on market data derived for comparable assets. For restricted securities of companies that are publicly traded, the value is based on the closing market quote on the valuation date less a discount for the restriction. For all other investments, inputs used to measure fair value reflect management’s best estimate of assumptions that would be used by market participants in pricing the investment in a hypothetical transaction. For these investments, we estimate the fair value of our senior debt, mezzanine debt, redeemable and convertible preferred equity, common equity and equity warrants using either an enterprise value waterfall methodology, which generally combines market and income approaches, or a market yield valuation methodology, which utilizes the income approach. We estimate the fair value of our Structured Products using the market and income approaches, third-party broker quotes and counterparty marks.
ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for our investments existed, and the differences could be material. Additionally, changes in the

40


AMERICAN CAPITAL, LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(unaudited)
(in millions, except per share data)


market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.
 ASC 820 defines fair value in terms of the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The price used to measure the fair value is not adjusted for transaction costs while the cost basis of our investments may include initial transaction costs. Under ASC 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset. The principal market for an asset is the market in which the reporting entity would sell or transfer the asset with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset under ASC 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to the market as of the measurement date. If no market for the asset exists or if the reporting entity does not have access to the principal market, the reporting entity should use a hypothetical market.
 The principal market in which we would sell our Senior Floating Rate Loans and certain of our non-controlled Sponsor Finance debt investments is an active over-the-counter secondary market. For our other debt and equity investments, there is no active market and we are generally repaid our debt investment or sell our equity investment upon a change of control transaction such as through the mergers and acquisition (“M&A”) market. Accordingly, the market in which we would sell certain of our non-controlled debt and all of our equity investments is the M&A market. However, under ASC 820, we have identified the M&A market as the principal market for our investments in these portfolio companies only if we have the ability to control the decision to sell the portfolio company as of the measurement date. We determine whether we have the ability to control the decision to sell a portfolio company based on our ability to control or gain control of the board of directors of the portfolio company as of the measurement date and rights within the shareholders agreement. In evaluating if we can control or gain control of a portfolio company as of the measurement date, we include our equity securities and those securities held by entities managed by our wholly-owned portfolio company, American Capital Asset Management, LLC (“ACAM”), on a fully diluted basis. For investments in portfolio companies for which we do not have the ability to control or gain control as of the measurement date and for which there is no active market, the principal market under ASC 820 is a hypothetical secondary market.
 Accordingly, we use the M&A market as the principal market for our investments in portfolio companies that we control or can gain control as of the measurement date, and we use a hypothetical secondary market for our investments in portfolio companies that we do not control or cannot gain control as of the measurement date. However, to the extent that an active market exists for such investments, we will consider that as the principal market. Our valuation policy considers the fact that no ready active market exists for a significant amount of our investments and that the fair value for our investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.
 Enterprise Value Waterfall Methodology 
For investments in portfolio companies that we have identified the M&A market as the principal market, we estimate the fair value based on the enterprise value waterfall (“Enterprise Value Waterfall”) valuation methodology. For minority equity securities in which the principal market is the hypothetical secondary market, we also estimate the fair value using the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology.  
Under the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, we estimate the enterprise value of a portfolio company and then waterfall the enterprise value over the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another. In applying the Enterprise Value Waterfall valuation methodology, we consider that in a change of control transaction, our loans are generally required to be repaid at par and that a buyer cannot assume the loan.
To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we prepare an analysis of traditional valuation methodologies including valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, estimating the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets, third-party valuations of the portfolio company, offers from third-parties to buy the portfolio company and considering the value of recent third-party investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. Significant inputs in these valuation methodologies to estimate enterprise value include the historical or projected operating results of the portfolio company, selection of comparable companies, discounts or premiums to the prices of comparable companies and discount rates applied to the forecasted cash flows. The operating results of a portfolio company may be unaudited, projected or pro forma financial information and may require adjustments for non-recurring items or to normalize the operating results that may require significant judgment in its determination. In addition, projecting future financial results requires significant judgment regarding future growth assumptions. In evaluating the operating results, we also analyze the impact of exposure to litigation, loss of customers or other contingencies.

The selection of a population of comparable companies requires significant judgment, including a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the comparability of the companies. In determining a discount or premium, if any, to prices of comparable companies, we use significant judgment for factors such as size, marketability, relative performance, and for portfolio companies in which we control, a control premium to the market price of comparable public companies. In determining a discount rate to apply to forecasted cash flows, we use significant judgment in the development of an appropriate discount rate including the evaluation of an appropriate risk premium. Further, a change in the future growth assumptions in projected future financial results could have a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used for determining an appropriate discount rate. 
In valuing convertible debt, equity or other similar securities, we value our investment based on its priority in the waterfall and based on our pro rata share of the residual equity value available after deducting all outstanding debt from the estimated enterprise value. We value non-convertible debt at the face amount of the debt to the extent that the estimated enterprise value of the portfolio company exceeds the outstanding debt of the portfolio company. If the estimated enterprise value is less than the outstanding debt of the portfolio company, we reduce the fair value of our debt investment beginning with the junior most debt such that the enterprise value less the fair value of the outstanding debt is zero.
Market Yield Valuation Methodology 
For debt and redeemable preferred equity investments in portfolio companies for which we are required to identify a hypothetical secondary market as the principal market, we estimate the fair value based on the assumptions that we believe hypothetical market participants would use to value the investment in a current hypothetical sale using a market yield (“Market Yield”) valuation methodology based on an exchange valuation premise under ASC 820. 
For debt and redeemable preferred equity investments of our investment portfolio for which we do not control or cannot gain control as of the measurement date and no active market exists, we estimate the fair value based on such factors as third-party broker quotes and our own assumptions in the absence of market observable data, including estimated remaining life, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar loans and securities as of the measurement date. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes, if any, in determining fair value based on our understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer. We estimate the remaining life based on market data of the average life of similar loans. However, if we have information available to us that the loan is expected to be repaid in the near term, we would use an estimated remaining life based on the expected repayment date, including considering the current maturity date of the loan. The average life used to estimate the fair value of our loans may be shorter than the legal maturity of the loans since our loans have historically been prepaid prior to the maturity date. The current interest rate spreads used to estimate the fair value of our loans is based on our experience of current interest rate spreads on similar loans. We use significant judgment in determining the estimated remaining life as well as the current market yield and interest rate spreads. If there is a significant deterioration of the credit quality of a loan, we may consider other factors that a hypothetical market participant would use to estimate fair value, including the proceeds that would be received in a liquidation analysis.  
We fair value our investments in Structured Products based on such factors as third-party broker quotes, counterparty marks, purchases or sales of the same or similar securities, and our cash flow forecasts. Cash flow forecasts are subject to assumptions a market participant would use regarding the investments’ underlying collateral including, but not limited to, assumptions of default and recovery rates, reinvestment spreads and prepayment rates. Cash flow forecasts are discounted using a market participant’s market yield assumptions that are derived from multiple sources including, but not limited to, third-party broker quotes, industry research reports and transactions of securities and indices with similar structure and risk characteristics. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes or counterparty marks, if any, in determining fair value based on the correlation of changes in third-party broker quotes with underlying performance and other market indices.
 Third-party Vendor Pricing
For debt investments that trade in an active market or that have similar assets that trade in an active market, we estimate the fair value based on evaluated prices from a nationally recognized, independent pricing service or from third-party brokers who make markets in such debt instruments. When possible, we make inquiries of third-party pricing sources to understand their use of significant inputs and assumptions. We review the price provided by the third-party pricing service and perform procedures to validate their reasonableness, including a review and analysis of executable broker quote(s), range and dispersion of third-party estimates, frequency of pricing updates, yields of similar securities or other qualitative and quantitative information. If the prices provided by the pricing service are consistent with such information, we will generally use the price provided by the pricing service as fair value.

Investments in Investment Funds
For an investment in an investment fund that does not have a readily determinable fair value, we measure the fair value of our investment predominately based on the NAV per share of the investment fund if the NAV of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC 946 as of the measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with ASC 820. However, in determining the fair value of our investment, we may make adjustments to the NAV per share in certain circumstances, based on our analysis of any restrictions on redemption of our shares of our investment as of the measurement date, any restrictions on the ability to receive dividends, comparisons of market price to NAV per share of comparable publicly traded funds and trades or sales of comparable private and publicly traded funds, recent actual sales or redemptions of shares of the investment fund, public to private liquidity discounts, expected future cash flows available to equity holders including the rate of return on those cash flows compared to an implied market return on equity required by market participants, or other uncertainties surrounding our ability to realize the full NAV of the investment fund.
The levels of fair value inputs used to measure our investments are characterized in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820. Where inputs for an asset or liability fall in more than one level in the fair value hierarchy, the investment is classified in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to that investment’s fair value measurement. We use judgment and consider factors specific to the investment in determining the significance of an input to a fair value measurement. Our policy is to recognize transfers in and out of levels as of the beginning of each reporting period. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy and investments that fall into each of the levels are described below:
Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data.

The daily weighted average debt balance, excluding discounts, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $1,845 million and $800 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, including amortization of deferred financing costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 3.7% and 5.9%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 3.2% and 5.2%, respectively.

fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions, and are measured using Level 3 inputs for our debt as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. It assumes that the liability is transferred to a market participant at the measurement date and that the nonperformance risk relating to that liability is the same before and after the transfer. Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that the obligation will not be fulfilled and affects the value at which the liability is transferred. The fair value of our debt obligations is valued at the closing market quotes as of the measurement date or estimated based upon market interest rates for our own borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any, based on a quantitative and/or qualitative evaluation of our credit risk.
Unsecured Private Notes
On September 20, 2013, we entered into an indenture with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, relating to the issuance and sale by us of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured five-year notes (“Private Notes”), for proceeds of $342 million, net of underwriters’ discounts. The Private Notes were sold in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Private Notes have a fixed interest rate of 6.50% and mature in September 2018. Interest payments are due semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 and all principal is due on maturity. The Private Notes were rated B3, B+ and BB- by Moody’s Investor Services, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Fitch Ratings, respectively. The indenture contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to: (i) pay dividends or distributions, repurchase equity, prepay junior debt and make certain investments; (ii) incur additional debt and issue certain disqualified stock and preferred stock; (iii) incur certain liens; (iv) merge or consolidate with another company or sell substantially all of our assets; (v) enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and (vi) allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us. The indenture also contains certain customary events of default. As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Private Notes.
European Capital Unsecured Senior Notes
In December 2006, European Capital entered into a note purchase agreement to issue €52 million of senior unsecured 15-year notes due January 2022 to accredited investors in a private placement offering (“Series 2006-I Notes”). The Series 2006-I Notes have a floating rate of EURIBOR plus 2.75%. European Capital entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $37.5 million of senior unsecured notes due July 2022 to accredited investors in a private placement offering (“Series 2007-I Notes”). The Series 2007-I Notes have a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. In March 2007, European Capital entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $37.5 million of senior unsecured notes due July 2022 to accredited investors in a private placement offering (“Series 2007-II Notes”). The Series 2007-II Notes have a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. As of March 31, 2015, the interest rate on the Series 2006-I Notes, Series 2007-I Notes and Series 2007-II Notes was 2.80%, 3.01% and 3.01%, respectively.
The above unsecured senior notes contain covenants that, among other things, require that European Capital maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth of €225 million, plus 50% of any equity issued by European Capital after the issuance of the applicable notes, require the interest charge cover meet a minimum threshold depending on the ratio of earnings before interest and taxes to interest expense and a maximum debt to equity ratio of 4:1. The unsecured senior notes also contain cross-default provisions to debt of European Capital of $15 million or more. As of March 31, 2015, European Capital was in compliance with all covenants for these notes.
Secured Term Loan Facility
On February 26, 2014, we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the amended secured term loan facility under our Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2013, with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Secured Term Loan Facility”).
The Amendment reduced the interest rate on the Secured Term Loan Facility, which had an outstanding principal balance of $450 million as of the closing date, from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, to LIBOR plus 2.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. The Amendment also extended the Secured Term Loan Facility’s maturity date by one year to August 2017.
In accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic No. 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, $447 million of debt exchanged with the same lenders met the criterion for and was accounted as a modification of debt. Existing unamortized deferred financing costs and discount attributable to the modification of the Secured Term Loan Facility of $9 million will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the Secured Term Loan Facility using the effective interest method, while fees paid to other third party

$250 Million Revolving Credit Facility
On August 22, 2012, we obtained a four-year $250 million secured revolving credit facility (the “$250 Million Revolving Credit Facility”), which may be expanded to a maximum $375 million through additional commitments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility and Secured Term Loan Facility. The $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 3.75%.
We may borrow, prepay and reborrow loans under the $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility at any time prior to August 22, 2015, the commitment termination date, subject to certain terms and conditions, including maintaining a borrowing base coverage of 150%, or 110% so long as our borrowing base coverage does not decrease following an advance. The $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility matures on August 22, 2016.

As of March 31, 2015, the total commitments under our $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility were $250 million. As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility.
$1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility

On March 6, 2015, the commitments to the existing $750 million secured revolving credit facility were increased by $500 million to $1.25 billion (the “$1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility”). In addition to the increase, the maturity date of the facility was extended to March 6, 2017. The facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.60%. As of March 31, 2015, the interest rate on the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility was 1.83%.
We may borrow, prepay and reborrow loans under the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility at any time prior to February 6, 2017, subject to certain terms and conditions. Any outstanding balance on the $1.25 Billion Revolving Credit Facility as of the commitment termination date is repayable on the maturity date.
We are required to pay a fee in an amount equal to 1.60% on the average daily unused amount of lender commitments up to $375 million and 0.75% on undrawn amounts up to $750 million.

$500 Million Revolving Credit Facility
On October 30, 2014, ACAS Funding II, LLC, a wholly-owned financing subsidiary, obtained a $500 million secured revolving credit facility (the “$500 Million Revolving Credit Facility”), provided by Deutsche Bank AG. The $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility, which matures in October 2016, bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.60%. As of March 31, 2015, the interest rate on the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility was 1.88%.
We may borrow, prepay and reborrow loans under the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility at any time prior to October 30, 2016, the commitment termination date, subject to certain terms and conditions. Any outstanding balance on the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility as of the commitment termination date is repayable on the maturity date.
As of March 31, 2015, the total debt outstanding under our $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility was $282 million, which was secured by portfolio investments with fair values of $619 million. As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the $500 Million Revolving Credit Facility.
Note 6. Stock Options
We have stock option plans which provide for the granting of options to employees and non-employee directors to purchase shares of common stock at a price of not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted under the employee stock option plans vest over either a three or five year period and may be exercised for a period of no more than ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under these plans may be either incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or non-qualified stock options. As required by the 1940 Act, we are restricted from issuing awards to our employees and non-employee directors to the extent that the amount of voting securities that would result from the exercise of all such awards at the time of issuance exceeds 20% of our outstanding voting securities. As of March 31, 2015, there were 3.6 million shares available to be granted under the employee stock option plans and in accordance with the 1940 Act restrictions.
Our shareholders approved non-employee director stock option plans in 1998, 2000, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and we subsequently received orders from the SEC authorizing such plans. Stock options granted under the non-employee director stock option plans are non-qualified stock options that vest over a three year period and may be exercised for a period of no more than ten years from the date of grant. As of March 31, 2015, there were no shares available to be granted under the non-employee director stock option plans. No employee or non-employee director stock options were granted during the first quarter of 2015.
During the first quarter of 2014, we concluded that our Chief Executive Officer had been granted stock options in excess of the individual employee limits established in certain of our stock option plans. These stock option grants were made during fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012. As a result, the stock option grants in excess of the individual limits in any stock option plan have been considered null and void. Therefore, stock based-compensation expense associated with the null and void options of $3.5 million was reversed in the first quarter of 2014.
In addition, the communication of the voided stock option grants to our Chief Executive Officer resulted in a financial obligation under U.S. GAAP to provide equity compensation commensurate with the terms of the voided stock option grants in return for services to be performed by our Chief Executive Officer during the option vesting periods. This financial obligation has been accounted for as a liability award and stock-based compensation expense of $4.2 million associated with prior periods was recorded in the second quarter of 2014. The net impact of these adjustments was additional stock-based compensation expense of $2.3 million during the first quarter of 2014. An additional $1.4 million of income tax expense was recorded during the first quarter of 2014 as a result of these adjustments. These errors were immaterial to the individual prior periods impacted. During the second quarter of 2014, pursuant to the Deferred Plan, an award of $10 million was granted to our Chief Executive Officer that partially settled this financial obligation. During the first quarter of 2015, an award of $7 million was granted to our Chief Executive Officer that settled the remainder of this financial obligation. These grants were funded with shares from the Trust which had previously been forfeited by former employees prior to being fully vested in their shares.
As discussed in Note 9, due to changes in the composition of our investment portfolio and market conditions, we conducted strategic reviews of our business which resulted in a workforce reduction of our employees in the fourth quarter of 2014. In conjunction with the restructuring, the vesting of any unvested stock options held by impacted employees as of the date of their separation was accelerated, and the employees were given a period of up to one year from their separation date, or less if the expiration of the option was within one year from their separation date, to exercise all outstanding options. During the first quarter of 2015, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, the acceleration of 0.9 million unvested

AMERICAN CAPITAL, LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(unaudited)
(in millions, except per share data)


stock options was accounted for as a modification and resulted in additional stock-based compensation expense of approximately $4 million related to additional workforce reductions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded stock-based compensation expense attributable to our stock options of $4.6 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was recognized only for options expected to vest, using an estimated forfeiture rate based on historical experience.
Note 7. Deferred Compensation Plan
We have a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Plan”) for the purpose of granting cash bonus awards to our employees. The Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is the administrator of the Deferred Plan. The Deferred Plan is funded through a trust (the “Trust”) which is administered by a third-party trustee. The Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee determines cash bonus awards to be granted under the Deferred Plan and the terms of such awards, including vesting schedules. The cash bonus awards are invested by the Trust in our common stock by purchasing shares in the open market. Awards vest contingent on the employee’s continued employment or the achievement of performance goals, if any, as determined by the Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Trust provides certain protections of its assets from events other than claims against our assets in the case of bankruptcy. The assets and liabilities of the Trust are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Shares of our common stock held by the Trust are accounted for as treasury stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Deferred Plan does not permit diversification and the cash bonus awards must be settled by the delivery of a fixed number of shares of our common stock. The awards under the Deferred Plan are accounted for as grants of unvested stock. We record stock-based compensation expense based on the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant. The compensation cost for awards with service conditions is recognized using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period. The compensation cost for bonus awards with performance and service conditions is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period. During the first quarter of 2015, cash bonus awards of $7 million were granted under the Deferred Plan. During the first quarter of 2014, there were no grants under the Deferred Plan.
As discussed in Note 6, during the first quarter of 2014, we concluded that our Chief Executive Officer had been granted $2.6 million of cash bonus awards in fiscal year 2007 in excess of the annual individual employee limit established in the Deferred Plan. As a result, the $2.6 million of cash bonus awards have been considered null and void. Stock-based compensation expense associated with the null and void cash bonus awards of $2.6 million was reversed in the first quarter of 2014.
In addition, the communication of the $2.6 million of excess cash bonus awards to our Chief Executive Officer resulted in a financial obligation under U.S. GAAP to provide equity compensation commensurate with the terms of the cash bonus awards in return for services to be performed by our Chief Executive Officer during the award vesting period. The financial obligation has been accounted for as a liability award and stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million associated with prior periods was recorded in the second quarter of 2014. The net impact of these adjustments was a $1.1 million reduction to stock-based compensation expense in the first quarter of 2014. An additional $0.3 million of income tax expense was recorded during the first quarter of 2014 as a result of these adjustments. These errors were immaterial to the individual prior periods impacted. During the second quarter of 2014, pursuant to the Deferred Plan, an award of $10 million was granted to our Chief Executive Officer that partially settled this financial obligation. During the first quarter of 2015, an award of $7 million was granted to our Chief Executive Officer that settled the remainder of this financial obligation. These grants were funded with shares from the Trust which had previously been forfeited by former employees prior to being fully vested in their shares.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2.9 and $(0.9) million, respectively, attributable to the Deferred Plan.
Long Term Incentive Plan Liability
European Capital has issued restricted mandatorily redeemable preferred shares (“Redeemable Preferred Shares”) to participating employees of subsidiary companies of its manager, European Capital Asset Management Limited (“ECAM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ACAM, under Long Term Incentive Plans (the “Plans” ) for an issue price determined at the time of issuance. The Plans have a 5-year vesting period. The Redeemable Preferred Shares are subdivided into subclasses of shares. The redemption value of each sub-class of Redeemable Preferred Shares is calculated using a predetermined formula and is based on the net liquidity proceeds, as defined in the Plans, on the exit of specifically referenced investments of European Capital in excess of certain hurdle rates. The Plans have annual calculation and redemption dates through December 31, 2018 and March 1, 2019, respectively, for sub-classes A, B and C and December 31, 2023 and March 1, 2024, respectively, for sub-classes D, E and F.

(in millions, except per share data)


Redeemable Preferred Shares related to specifically referenced investments not exited at the final annual calculation dates will be redeemed after the receipt of subsequent net liquidity proceeds or, if specifically referenced investments that remain outstanding on January 1, 2020 for sub-classes A, B and C and January 1, 2025 for sub-classes D, E and F, will be redeemed based on the realizable value of the remaining referenced investments. European Capital elected to recognize the Redeemable Preferred Shares at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments.
The holders of the Redeemable Preferred Shares have no rights to participate or receive notice of any general meeting of European Capital and the shares are generally not transferable. The Redeemable Preferred Shares have no rights to receive dividends. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, a portion of Redeemable Preferred Shares were redeemed and European Capital realized a loss of $46 million, offset by a reversal of unrealized depreciation of $46 million, which is included in net realized (loss) gain and net unrealized appreciation in our consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of the Redeemable Preferred Shares is calculated as of March 31, 2015 using the net present value of the estimated future cash flows of the underlying European Capital investments with discounts applied for equity risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, minority interests, lack of marketability and a forfeiture rate. The fair value of the Redeemable Preferred Shares as of March 31, 2015 was $30 million, which is included in long term incentive plan liability in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the underlying European Capital investments as of March 31, 2015 was $642 million.

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating EPS on a diluted basis.
In computing diluted EPS, only potential common shares that are dilutive, those that reduce earnings per share or increase loss per share, are included. The effect of stock options, unvested employee stock awards and contingently issuable shares are not included if the result would be anti-dilutive, such as when a net loss is reported.
Stock options and unvested shares under our deferred compensation plan of 6.6 million and 8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS either because the respective

exercise or grant prices are greater than the average market value of the underlying stock or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive, as determined using the treasury stock method.
Note 9. Restructuring Costs
Due to changes in the composition of our investment portfolio and market conditions, we conducted strategic reviews of our business in the fourth quarter of 2014, which resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 13% of our employees and the closing of one of our offices as well as the elimination of certain functions at other offices. In conjunction with the restructuring, the vesting of any unvested stock options held by impacted employees as of the date of their separation was accelerated, and they were given a period of up to one year from their separation date, or less if the expiration of the option was within one year from their separation date, to exercise all outstanding options. We recorded charges for both severance and related employee costs and excess office facilities costs of $24 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, including $11 million from the modification of stock options. In addition, we recorded charges for both severance and related employee costs of $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, including $4 million from the modification of stock options related to additional workforce reductions. The severance and related costs and the additional stock-based compensation expense resulting from the modification are included in salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation and the excess facilities costs are included in general and administrative in our consolidated statements of operations. The liability for employee severance costs and excess facilities is included in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2015.
In determining our liability related to excess office facilities, we are required to estimate such factors as future vacancy rates, the time required to sublet properties and sublease rates. These estimates are reviewed quarterly based on known real estate market conditions and the credit-worthiness of subtenants, and may result in revisions to the liability. Our remaining liability of $4 million as of March 31, 2015 related to these excess office facilities represents gross lease commitments with agreements expiring at various dates through 2023 of approximately $22 million, net of committed and estimated sublease income of approximately $16 million and a present value factor of $2 million. We have entered into signed sublease arrangements for approximately $1 million, with the remaining $15 million based on estimated future sublease income.

Share Repurchase and Dividend Program
During 2011, our Board of Directors adopted a program that may provide for share repurchases or dividend payments (the “Program”). During the first quarter of 2015, American Capital's Board of Directors reinstated authorization for share repurchases under the Program. We included the written notice to stockholders required by Section 23(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 regarding the possibility of share repurchases over the next six months in the Proxy Statement for its 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We expect to begin considering share repurchases under the Program in the second quarter of 2015.

57


AMERICAN CAPITAL, LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(unaudited)
(in millions, except per share data)


The Board adopted the Program in September 2011, but suspended repurchases in March 2014 as we undertook a process to evaluate potential capital requirements that could result from its previously announced plan to consider organizational changes to enhance shareholder value. On November 5, 2014, we announced that its Board had unanimously approved a plan to proceed with the spin-off of new business development companies to its shareholders, with American Capital continuing as a public asset management company. The Board has since determined that it is appropriate to reinstate authorization for share repurchases while we seek to accomplish the announced spin-off.
Going forward, under the Program, we will consider quarterly setting an amount to be utilized for share repurchases or dividends. Generally, the amount may be utilized for repurchases if the price of our common stock represents a discount to its NAV per share, and the amount may be utilized for the payment of cash dividends if the price of our common stock represents a premium to its NAV per share. 
In determining the quarterly amount, the Board of Directors will be guided by our net cash provided by operating activities in preceding quarters, its capital requirements associated with completion of the spin-off transaction, its cash position, operational issues, economic conditions and the current trading price of our common stock and other factors.
The Program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The Program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares of our common stock, and all repurchases will be made in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of share repurchases.
Note 11. Income Taxes
As a taxable corporation under Subchapter C of the Code, we are subject to federal and applicable state corporate income taxes on our taxable ordinary income and capital gains. However, we estimate that for income tax purposes, we had both net operating loss carryforwards and net long-term capital loss carryforwards as of March 31, 2015. Our tax fiscal year ends on September 30.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, we consolidated our wholly owned portfolio company, European Capital, in our consolidated financial statements. European Capital and its wholly owned subsidiary, European Capital S.A. SICAR (collectively, “ECAS”) are both controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) for U.S. tax purposes. Each entity pays an immaterial rate of non-U.S. income taxes. ECAS may produce subpart F income that must be reported on the U.S. tax return of American Capital.
We file a consolidated federal income tax return with eligible corporate subsidiaries, including portfolio companies in which we hold 80% or more of the outstanding equity interest measured by both vote and fair value. As a result, we have entered into a tax sharing agreement under which members of the consolidated tax group are compensated for losses and other tax benefits by members that are able to use those losses and tax benefits on their pro forma stand-alone federal income tax return.
As of March 31, 2015, our deferred tax asset was $766 million, our deferred tax liability was $343 million, our valuation allowance was $147 million and our net deferred tax asset was $276 million.
We estimate the expected tax character of recognition of the reversal of the timing differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets and liabilities as either ordinary or capital income. However, the ultimate tax character of the deferred tax asset or liability may change from our estimated classification based on the ultimate form of recognition of the timing difference. As of March 31, 2015, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will have future ordinary income to realize our ordinary deferred tax assets and therefore did not record a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. We believe that it is more likely than not that we will be able to utilize $47 million of our capital deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2015 and we have established a partial valuation allowance of $147 million against certain capital deferred tax assets.
Assessing the recoverability of a deferred tax asset requires management to make estimates related to expectations of future taxable income. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from investments and operations, the character of expected income or loss as either capital or ordinary, and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows or the amount or character of taxable income differ significantly from these estimates, our ability to realize the deferred tax assets could be impacted.

During the first quarter of 2015, we restructured our investment in CML Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“CML”) which resulted in a recognized capital loss. We recognized a $136 million capital loss on our equity investment in CML, which was $9 million less than the book realized loss of $145 million, due to consolidated basis adjustments in prior years as a result of CML filing with American Capital’s consolidated tax return. In addition, CML recognized an $83 million capital gain on an operating subsidiary that was offset by capital loss carryforwards at American Capital. We will not be reimbursed through the tax sharing agreement for the utilization of the capital loss carryforward and this was a permanent difference in income recognition. The net impact was a decrease of our gross deferred tax assets of $35 million, offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance of $35 million, resulting in no net tax impact to the provision.
During the first quarter of 2015, we recognized subpart F income on our U.S. tax return from our investment in European Capital that, net of related changes in European Capital’s deferred tax assets, resulted in an $18 million tax provision.
We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The following is a reconciliation of our unrecognized tax benefits:

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual agreements that provide general indemnifications against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of our obligations under such agreements. We have not had any claims nor made any payments pursuant to such agreements. We cannot estimate the maximum potential exposure under these arrangements as this would involve future claims that may be made against us that have not yet occurred. However, based on our experience, we expect the risk of any material loss to us to be remote.
We are a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business, including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Loan and Financing Agreements
As of March 31, 2015, we had commitments under loan and financing agreements to fund up to $217 million to 29 portfolio companies. These commitments are primarily composed of working capital credit facilities, acquisition credit facilities and subscription agreements. The commitments are generally subject to the borrowers meeting certain criteria such as compliance with covenants and availability under borrowing base thresholds. The terms of the borrowings and financings subject to commitment are comparable to the terms of other loan and equity securities in our portfolio. As of March 31, 2015, European Capital and
its affiliates had a commitment of $63 million to fund European Capital UK SME Debt LP and $179 million to fund European Capital Private Debt LP. In addition, as of
March 31, 2015, ACAM had a commitment of $173 million to American Capital Equity III, LP, which would be funded by an equity investment from American Capital. See Note 14 to our interim consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of ACAM’s American Capital Equity III, LP’s commitment.
Note 13. Significant Subsidiaries
We have determined that for the three months ended March 31, 2015, certain of our unconsolidated portfolio companies have met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X, aggregate summarized income statement information for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 has been included as follows:

Note 14. Asset Sales
On April 28, 2014, we completed a $1.1 billion private placement of partnership interests in American Capital Equity III, LP (“ACE III” or “the Fund”), a new private equity fund focused on investing in U.S. companies in the lower middle market. Concurrent with the private placement, we entered into a Contribution and Redemption Agreement with the Fund pursuant to which we agreed to contribute 100% of our equity and equity-related investments in seven portfolio companies (Affordable Care Holding Corp., Avalon Laboratories Holding Corp., CIBT Investment Holdings, LLC, FAMS Acquisition, Inc., Mirion Technologies, Inc., PHI Acquisitions, Inc. and SMG Holdings, Inc.) to the Fund and to provide the Fund with an option to acquire our equity investment in WRH, Inc. (the “Equity Option”), in exchange for partnership interests in the Fund. Collectively, the eight portfolio companies (including WRH, Inc., assuming the Equity Option is exercised) comprise the Secondary Portfolio for ACE III. On April 1, 2015, the Equity Option was exercised by the Fund for the exercise price of $24 million. The fair value of the Equity Option as of the Closing Date and March 31, 2015 was approximately $46 million and $111 million, respectively, which has been accounted for as a derivative liability and is recorded in the financial statement line item other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The Fund’s aggregate $1.1 billion capital commitment includes a commitment of $200 million from ACAM for Primary Investments, of which $173 million was undrawn as of March 31, 2015.
Note 15.
Related Party Transactions
As a BDC, we are required by law to make available significant managerial assistance to our eligible portfolio companies. Such assistance typically involves providing guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations and business objectives and policies of the portfolio company to its management and board of directors, including participating on the company’s board of directors. We have an operations team with significant turnaround and bankruptcy experience that assists our investment professionals in providing intensive operational and managerial assistance to our portfolio companies that require such assistance. As of March 31, 2015, we had board seats at 37 companies in our investment portfolio. Providing assistance to the companies in our investment portfolio serves as an opportunity for us to maximize their value.

American Capital Asset Management
Our fund management business is conducted through ACAM. In general, ACAM provides investment management services through consolidated subsidiaries that enter into management agreements with each of its managed funds. In addition, American Capital or ACAM may invest directly into these funds and earn investment income from its investments in those funds. Under the management agreements, ACAM’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to, sourcing, analyzing and executing investments and asset sales, delivering financial and compliance reports to investors in the funds under management, administering the daily business and affairs of the funds under management and performing other asset management duties. We have entered into service agreements with ACAM to provide it with additional asset management and administrative services support. Through these agreements, we provide investment advisory and oversight services to ACAM, as well as access to our employees, infrastructure, business relationships, management expertise and capital raising capabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recognized operating revenues from our investment in ACAM of $33 million and $23 million, respectively.
European Capital
As discussed in Note 1 to these consolidated financial statements, we consolidated our investment in European Capital effective October 1, 2014. ACAM, through its subsidiary, ECAM, acts as the investment manager to European Capital. Under ACAM’s investment management agreement with European Capital, ACAM is entitled to receive an annual management fee of 2% of the weighted average monthly consolidated gross asset value of all the investments at fair value of European Capital, an incentive fee equal to 100% of the net earnings in excess of a return of 8% but less than a return of 10%, and 20% of the net earnings thereafter. The investment management agreement with European Capital was amended to waive the incentive fee for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, the investment management agreement with European Capital was amended to cancel the incentive fee for 2015 and going forward. The management fee charged by ACAM was $4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and is included in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
As discussed in Note 7 to these consolidated financial statements, European Capital has issued Redeemable Preferred Shares to employees of ECAM as part of long-term employee incentive plans. These shares are redeemable by European Capital based on the aggregate returns on investments made after January 1, 2012 and are treated as mandatorily redeemable preferred stock in our consolidated balance sheets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The fair value of the Redeemable Preferred Shares included in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2015 was $30 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, Redeemable Preferred Shares were redeemed and European Capital realized a loss of $46 million offset by a reversal of unrealized depreciation of $46 million, which is included in net realized (loss) gain and net unrealized appreciation in our consolidated statements of operations.

ITEM 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (in millions, except per share data)
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of American Capital’s financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management. Our MD&A is presented in four sections:
Executive Overview
Results of Operations
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Forward-Looking Statements
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
American Capital, Ltd. (which is referred to throughout this report as “American Capital”, “we”, “our” and “us”) is a publicly traded global asset manager and private equity firm. American Capital, both directly and through its asset management business, originates, underwrites and manages investments in middle market private equity, leveraged finance, real estate, energy and structured products. It is our practice to sell some of the assets that we originate as an investor into funds that we manage. On August 29, 1997, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and became a non-diversified closed end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). As a BDC, we primarily invest in senior and mezzanine debt and equity in buyouts of private companies sponsored by us (“American Capital One Stop Buyouts®”) or sponsored by other private equity funds and provide capital directly to early stage and mature private and small public companies (“Sponsor Finance Investments”). We also invest in first and second lien floating rate loans to large-market U.S. based companies (“Senior Floating Rate Loans” or “SFRL”) and structured finance investments (“Structured Products”), including collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) securities and commercial mortgages and commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”). Our primary business objectives are to increase our net earnings and net asset value (“NAV”) by making investments with attractive current yields and/ or potential for equity appreciation and realized gains and by growing our fee earning assets under management.
We manage $23 billion of assets, including assets on our balance sheet and fee earning assets under management by affiliated managers, with $92 billion of total assets under management (including levered assets). Our asset management business is conducted through our wholly-owned portfolio company, American Capital Asset Management, LLC (“ACAM”), a registered investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940. ACAM manages the following funds:
American Capital Agency Corp. (“AGNC”)
American Capital Mortgage Investment Corp. (“MTGE”)
American Capital Senior Floating, Ltd. (“ACSF”)
American Capital Equity I, LLC (“ACE I”)
American Capital Equity II, LP (“ACE II”)
American Capital Equity III, LP (“ACE III”)

European Capital Private Debt LP (“ECAS Private Debt”)
ACAS CLO 2007-1, Ltd. (“ACAS CLO 2007-1”)

We are taxed as a corporation and pay federal and applicable state corporate taxes on our taxable income. From 1997 through the tax year ended September 30, 2010, we were taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), as defined in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a RIC, we were not subject to federal income tax on the portion of our taxable income and capital gains we distributed to our shareholders, but we were also not able to carry forward net operating losses (“NOL”) from year to year. Beginning with our tax year ended September 30, 2011, our status changed from a RIC subject to taxation under Subchapter M to a corporation subject to taxation under Subchapter C. Under Subchapter C, we are able to carry forward any NOLs historically incurred to succeeding years, which we would not be able to do if we were subject to taxation as a RIC under Subchapter M. This change in tax status does not affect our status as a BDC under the 1940 Act or our compliance with the portfolio composition requirements of that statute.
In October 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Division of Investment Management issued SEC IM Guidance Update No. 2014-11, Investment Company Consolidation (“IM Update 2014-11”), which recommends that BDCs consolidate wholly-owned subsidiaries when the intent of the subsidiary is to act as an extension of the BDC’s investment operations and to facilitate the execution of the BDC’s investment strategy. In October 2014, our Board of Directors approved the spin-off of two new publicly traded BDCs to our shareholders, separating the majority of our investment assets from our asset management business. The approval also marked a change in our intent with respect to European Capital Limited (“European Capital”), which we no longer consider a vehicle for third-party capital but rather is viewed as an extension of our investment operations. In accordance with IM Update 2014-11, effective October 1, 2014, European Capital's financial results have been consolidated with the financial results of American Capital.
Recent Developments
On May 7, 2015 we announced a revision to our previously announced plans to spin-off to our shareholders two newly established BDCs, with American Capital continuing primarily in the asset management business. We now plan to spin-off only one new BDC, which will be known as American Capital Income, Ltd. (“American Capital Income” or “ACIN”). American Capital Income will expand its Sponsor Finance business into leading and syndicating large middle market transactions. This will include unitranche, second lien and mezzanine lending up to $300 million with American Capital retaining up to $150 million.
We expect that the spin-off of American Capital Income will be through a tax free dividend to our shareholders. The spin-off transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of American Capital shareholders who, among other matters, must approve American Capital's de-election to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We expect to file proxy and registration statements regarding the transaction with the SEC in the third calendar quarter of 2015. These documents will be subject to review and comment by the SEC, which may affect the time frame in which the transaction can be completed. No assurance can be given as to if or when the transaction will be completed.
Investment Portfolio
As an investor, we primarily invest in senior and mezzanine debt and equity of middle and large market companies. We and ACAM also invest in assets that can be sold or contributed to public or private funds that ACAM could manage, as a means of “incubating” such funds. We also have investments in Structured Products and in funds managed by us.
Portfolio Composition
Our investments can be divided into the following six business lines: (i) American Capital One Stop Buyouts®, (ii) Sponsor Finance Investments, (iii) European Capital, (iv) American Capital Asset management, (v) Structured Products and (vi) Senior Floating Rate Loans.

Effective October 1, 2014, European Capital’s financial results have been consolidated with the financial results of American Capital. Prior to October 1, 2014, European Capital business line cash proceeds were comprised of dividend distributions on our equity investment in European Capital. Effective October 1, 2014, European Capital business line cash proceeds are comprised of cash proceeds from realizations and repayments on European Capital’s portfolio investments.
American Capital One Stop Buyouts® 
In an American Capital One Stop Buyout®, we lend senior and mezzanine debt and make majority equity investments to finance our acquisition of an operating company through a change in control. A change in control transaction could be the result of a corporate divestiture, a sale by a private equity firm, a sale by a family-owned closely held business, going private transactions or ownership transitions. In addition, we may make additional add-on investments in our American Capital One Stop Buyouts® to finance strategic acquisitions, growth or for working capital.
Our ability to fund the entire capital structure is a competitive advantage in completing many middle market transactions. We sponsor American Capital One Stop Buyouts® in which we provide most, if not all, of the senior and mezzanine debt and equity financing in the transaction. For our American Capital One Stop Buyouts®, we typically fund all of the senior debt at closing and syndicate the senior debt at or subsequent to closing, but only to the extent the senior lender will allow for the payment of cash dividends. If the senior lender is unwilling, we will hold the senior debt of these controlled portfolio companies, which will allow these controlled portfolio companies to pay cash dividends to their shareholders, including us. We will generally invest, directly or through our managed funds, up to $600 million in a single American Capital One Stop Buyout®.
As of March 31, 2015, there were 26 companies in our American Capital One Stop Buyouts® portfolio with a cost basis and fair value of $1,608 million and $1,265 million, respectively, with an average investment size of $49 million at fair value. As of March 31, 2015, our American Capital One Stop Buyouts® portfolio consisted of $712 million and $553 million of debt and equity investments at fair value, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, the weighted average effective interest rate on the debt investments in this portfolio was 10.2%, which includes the impact of non-accruing loans, and our fully-diluted weighted average ownership interest in the equity investments in this portfolio was 73%. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized operating revenues from our American Capital One Stop Buyouts® portfolio totaling $28 million.
As a BDC, we are required by law to make significant managerial assistance available to most of our portfolio companies. Such assistance typically involves providing guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations and business objectives and policies of the portfolio company to its management and board of directors, including participating on the company’s board of directors. We have an operations team with significant turnaround and bankruptcy experience that assists our investment

67


professionals in providing intensive operational and managerial assistance to our portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2015, we had board seats at 24 companies in our American Capital One Stop Buyouts® and had board observation rights at certain other companies. Providing assistance to the companies in our investment portfolio serves as an opportunity for us to maximize their value.
Sponsor Finance Investments
The majority of the investments in our Sponsor Finance Investment portfolio were originated either to assist in the funding of change of control buyouts of privately-held middle and large market companies sponsored by other private equity firms or to support the growth or recapitalization of an existing portfolio company. In these transactions, we generally lend senior, mezzanine and unitranche debt and make minority equity co-investments. We will generally invest between $10 million and $150 million in a single Sponsor Finance Investment transaction. Generally, we make investments in companies that have a minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of $10 million.
Our senior loans may consist of first lien secured revolving credit facilities, first and second lien secured term loans and unitranche loans. Our mezzanine loans may consist of secured and unsecured loans. Our loans typically mature in five to ten years and require monthly or quarterly interest payments at fixed rates or variable rates generally based on London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus a margin. Certain of our loans permit the interest to be paid-in-kind by adding it to the outstanding loan balance and paid at maturity.
As of March 31, 2015, there were 52 companies in our Sponsor Finance Investment portfolio with a cost basis and fair value of $1,159 million and $1,167 million, respectively, with an average investment size of $22 million at fair value. As of March 31, 2015, our Sponsor Finance Investment portfolio consisted of $935 million and $232 million of debt and equity investments at fair value, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, the weighted average effective interest rate on the debt investments in this portfolio was 9.5%, which includes the impact of non-accruing loans, and our fully-diluted weighted average ownership interest in the equity investments in this portfolio was 39%. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized operating revenues from our Sponsor Finance Investment portfolio totaling $27 million.
American Capital Asset Management Investment
Our fund management business is conducted through our wholly-owned portfolio company, ACAM, and its consolidated subsidiaries. In general, subsidiaries of ACAM enter into management agreements with each of its managed funds. As of March 31, 2015, the cost basis and fair value of our investment in ACAM was $441 million and $1,173 million, respectively, or 16.7% of our total investments at fair value. As of March 31, 2015, ACAM’s earning assets under management totaled $15 billion. As of March 31, 2015, ACAM had $84 billion of total assets under management (including levered assets), including $73 billion of total assets under management for American Capital Agency Corp. (NASDAQ: AGNC) and $7 billion of total assets under management for American Capital Mortgage Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: MTGE), which are publicly traded mortgage real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and $0.3 billion of total assets under management for American Capital Senior Floating, Ltd. (NASDAQ: ACSF).
ACAM had over 140 employees as of March 31, 2015, including ten Investment Teams with over 80 investment professionals located in Bethesda (Maryland), New York, Annapolis (Maryland), London and Paris. We have entered into service agreements with ACAM to provide it with additional asset management and administrative services support. Through these agreements, we provide investment advisory and oversight services to ACAM, as well as access to our employees, infrastructure, business relationships, management expertise and capital raising capabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, American Capital earned $7 million from ACAM for these services. ACAM generally earns base management fees based on the shareholders’ equity or the net cost basis of the assets of the funds under management and may earn incentive income, or a carried interest, based on the performance of the funds. In addition, American Capital or ACAM may invest directly into these funds and earn investment income from its investments in those funds.

$257 million in committed capital in ECAS Private Debt fund, which was unfunded as of March 31, 2015.

Recent Fund Development
ECAS Private Debt is a private debt fund established in 2015 with total committed capital of $257 million (€237 million), of which $179 million (€165 million) was committed by European Capital and its affiliates. ECAS Private Debt provides debt financing to mid-market companies in Western and Northern Europe, primarily through unitranche and mezzanine financing, with secondary purchases of senior loans on an opportunistic basis. A subsidiary of ACAM manages ECAS Private Debt for an annual management fee of 1.50% on deployed capital and up to a 15% carried interest, subject to certain hurdles. ECAS Private Debt will be dissolved on March 19, 2025, unless extended.
ACAS CLO 2015-1 completed a $552 million securitization in May 2015 that invests primarily in broadly syndicated senior secured floating rate loans purchased in the primary and secondary markets. ACAM manages ACAS CLO 2015-1 in exchange for an annual base management fee of 0.50% of ACAS CLO 2015-1’s assets and a 20% carried interest, subject to certain hurdles. A subsidiary of ACAM also purchased 65% of the non-rated subordinated notes in ACAS CLO 2015-1 for $30 million.
Third-Party Funds Under Development
We expect to continue to expand our asset management business and currently have several funds under development. For each of the funds under development, we have existing investment professionals on staff or have recently hired investment professionals to support each fund. In addition, in the first quarter of 2015, we deployed approximately $178 million of capital to grow seed assets for these funds under development. We have a European debt fund, a European buyout fund, energy funds, a commercial mortgage REIT fund and several CLO funds currently under development. These funds would be managed by a consolidated subsidiary of ACAM.
Structured Products Investments
Our Structured Products investments consist of investments in CLO, CDO and CMBS securities. Our Structured Products investments are generally in non-investment grade securities. We invest in Structured Products with the intention of holding them until maturity.
As of March 31, 2015, our investment in CLO and CDO securities was $623 million and $584 million at cost basis and fair value, respectively, or 8% of our total investments at fair value. This includes our investment in ACAS CLO 2007-1 and ACAS CLO 2013-2, which represents $22 million and $6 million at fair value, respectively. Our investments in CMBS bonds are secured

69


by diverse pools of commercial mortgage loans. As of March 31, 2015, our total investment in CMBS bonds was $58 million and $36 million at cost basis and fair value, respectively, or less than 1% of our total investments at fair value.
Senior Floating Rate Loans
Our Senior Floating Rate Loans portfolio is composed primarily of diversified investments in first lien floating rate loans to large-market U.S. based companies (defined as issuers with EBITDA greater than $50 million). Our Senior Floating Rate Loans portfolio may also include second lien floating rate loans. Senior Floating Rate Loans are typically collateralized by a company’s assets and structured with first lien or second lien priority on collateral, providing for greater security and potential recovery in the event of default compared to other subordinated fixed-income products. Senior Floating Rate Loans generally have a stated term of three to seven years and typically pay interest based on a floating rate calculated as a spread over a market index, primarily LIBOR, and generally have a minimum market index floor. Our Senior Floating Rate Loans are also typically traded among investors in an active secondary market with no investor owning a significant percentage of the issue. We generally own less than 2% of any single loan issue.
As of March 31, 2015, there were debt investments in 246 companies in our Senior Floating Rate Loans portfolio with a cost basis and fair value of $2,186 million and $2,183 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, approximately 95% of our Senior Floating Rate Loans portfolio, at fair value, was composed of loans with a facility rating by the S&P of at least “B” or higher. None of our investments in our Senior Floating Rate Loan portfolio were in default or on non-accrual as of March 31, 2015.
Our Senior Floating Rate Loan portfolio was diversified across both issuers and industries with the average exposure to an individual obligor of $9 million at fair value, or 0.4% of the Senior Floating Rate Loan portfolio, as of March 31, 2015. The following chart shows the Senior Floating Rate Loan portfolio composition by industry grouping at fair value as a percentage of total Senior Floating Rate Loans as of March 31, 2015:


70


Our Senior Floating Rate Loans portfolio was comprised of 100% floating rate loans with 98% having LIBOR floors ranging between 0.75% and 1.75%. As of March 31, 2015, our Senior Floating Rate Loans portfolio yield at cost was 4.3% and cost of funds was 2.0%, which represents the weighted average interest rate on our $1,250 million and $500 million secured revolving credit facilities as of March 31, 2015 along with an estimate for unfunded commitment fees plus amortization of debt financing costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized operating revenues and interest expense from our Senior Floating Rate Loans portfolio totaling $19 million and $4 million, respectively.
European Capital
European Capital primarily invests in senior and mezzanine debt and equity in buyouts of private companies sponsored by European Capital (“European Capital One Stop Buyouts®”), or sponsored by other private equity funds and provides capital directly to early stage and mature private and small public companies (“European Capital Sponsor Finance Investments”).
 As of March 31, 2015, European Capital had investments in 31 portfolio companies totaling $627 million at fair value, with an average investment size of $20 million at fair value. As of March 31, 2015, European Capital’s five largest investments at fair value were $371 million, or 59% of its total investments at fair value.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial condition and results of operations requires us to make judgments and estimates that may have a significant impact upon our financial results. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following require estimates and assumptions that require complex, subjective judgments by management, which can materially impact reported results: valuation of investments; income taxes; interest and dividend income recognition; and stock-based compensation. All of our critical accounting policies are fully described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
See Note 4 to our interim consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further information regarding the classification of our investment portfolio by levels of fair value inputs used to measure our investments as of March 31, 2015.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
Our consolidated financial performance, as reflected in our consolidated statements of operations, is composed of the following three primary elements:
The first element is “Net operating income” (“NOI”), which is primarily the interest, dividends, prepayment fees, finance and transaction fees and portfolio company management fees earned from investing in debt and equity securities and the fees we earn from fund asset management, less our operating expenses and provision or benefit for income taxes.
The second element is “Net realized gain (loss),” which reflects the difference between the proceeds from an exit of an investment and the cost at which the investment was carried on our consolidated balance sheets and periodic interest settlements and termination receipts or payments on derivatives, foreign currency transaction gains or losses and taxes on realized gains or losses.
The third element is “Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation),” which is the net change in the estimated fair value of our portfolio investments and of our interest rate derivatives at the end of the period compared with their estimated fair values at the beginning of the period or their stated costs, as appropriate, and taxes on unrealized gains or losses. In addition, our net unrealized depreciation includes the foreign currency translation from converting the cost basis of our assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency to the U.S. dollar.

Effective October 1, 2014, European Capital’s financial results have been consolidated with the financial results of American Capital.

American Capital One Stop Buyouts® 
Interest, dividend and fee income from our American Capital One Stop Buyouts® decreased by $22 million, or 44% , for the three months ended March 31, 2015 over the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to the sale of our equity and equity-related investments to ACE III as well as exits of other American Capital One Stop Buyouts®.
American Capital Asset Management
Dividend and fee income from ACAM increased by $10 million, or 43%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 over the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in the funds under management of ACAM, primarily AGNC, ACAS CLO 2014-1 and ACAS CLO 2014-2 as well as increased expenses incurred by ACAM in 2014 related to the IPO of ACSF.
Sponsor Finance Investments
Interest, dividend and fee income from our Sponsor Finance Investments increased by $28 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 over the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to reserves on accrued payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and dividend income as a result of the addition of certain securities to non-accrual status due to decreased portfolio company performance during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Structured Products
Interest income on Structured Products investments increased by $12 million, or 100%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 over the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to higher actual and projected payments on our CLO investments. During three months ended March 31, 2015, we realized cash proceeds of $5 million and recognized interest income of $24 million from our Structured Products investments.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 325-40, Investments-Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, in the event that the estimated cash flows of an investment decrease below the current amortized cost used to determine the yield, we may be required to write down the current amortized cost by projected credit losses or to fair value (“Reference Amount”). We are precluded from reversing the write down for any subsequent increase in the estimated cash flows of an investment with the effect of increasing total interest income over the life of the investment and increasing the realized loss recorded at the exit of the investment by the amount of the write down. As of March 31, 2015, in aggregate, the amortized cost basis of our Structured Products investment portfolio exceeded the Reference Amount by approximately $90 million.
See Note 2—Interest and Dividend Income Recognition policy in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a description of how projected cash flows affect revenue recognition on our Structured Products investments.

Senior Floating Rate Loans
We initiated our Senior Floating Rate Loan portfolio in 2014 and have purchased approximately $2.5 billion of investments through March 31, 2015. Interest income on these loans was $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The monthly weighted average effective interest rate on our Senior Floating Rate Loans portfolio was 4.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, on a monthly weighted average balance of $1,888 million.
European Capital
European Capital’s operating revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $23 million, comprised of $14 million of interest income on European Capital debt investments, $8 million of dividend income on European Capital equity investments and $1 million of income on European Capital CLO investments.

Debt Investments

Interest income on debt investments increased by $33 million, or 114%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, over the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in the amount of Sponsor Finance Investments outstanding as well as a net positive impact from non-accrual investments for the three months ended March 31, 2015 over the comparable period in 2014. Our weighted average debt investments outstanding increased by $83 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 over the comparable period in 2014. The average non-accrual debt investments outstanding decreased from $301 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $193 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
When a debt investment is placed on non-accrual, we may record reserves on uncollected PIK interest income recorded in prior periods as a reduction of interest income in the current period. Conversely, when a debt investment is removed from non-accrual, we may record interest income in the current period on prior period uncollected PIK interest income which was reserved in prior periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded additional interest income on uncollected PIK interest income recorded in prior periods of $2 million as a result of debt investments being removed from non-accrual, which had an approximate 40 basis point positive impact on the effective interest rate on debt investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded a net reserve on uncollected PIK interest income recorded in prior periods of $13 million as a result of debt investments being placed on non-accrual, which had an approximate 320 basis point negative impact on the effective interest rate on debt investments.

Equity Investments, Excluding ACAM
Dividend income from equity investments, excluding ACAM, decreased by $12 million, or 75%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, over the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to a decrease in our equity investments at cost related to the sale of predominantly yielding equity assets to ACE III. As a result, the monthly weighted average effective dividend yield on equity investments was 1.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a 160 basis point decrease over the comparable period in 2014.
When a preferred equity investment is placed on non-accrual, we may record net reserves on uncollected accrued dividend income recorded in prior periods as a reduction of dividend income in the current period. Conversely, when a preferred equity investment is removed from non-accrual, we may record dividend income in the current period for prior period uncollected accrued dividend income which was reserved in prior periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded reserves on accrued PIK dividend income recorded in prior periods from preferred stock investments of $2 million and $3 million, respectively, which had an approximate 50 basis point and 60 basis point negative impact, respectively, on the effective dividend yield on equity investments.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded $3 million and $6 million, respectively, of dividend income for non-recurring dividends on common equity investments.
Equity Investments - ACAM

Dividend income from ACAM increased by $12 million, or by 86%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 over the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in the funds under management of ACAM, primarily AGNC, ACAS CLO 2014-1 and ACAS CLO 2014-2, as well as increased expenses incurred by ACAM related to the IPO of ACSF in 2014.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we received an additional $3 million of dividends from ACAM, which were recorded as a reduction to the cost basis of our investment in ACAM.
Fee Income

Portfolio Company Advisory and Administrative Fees

As a BDC, we are required by law to make significant managerial assistance available to most of our portfolio companies. This generally includes providing guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations and business objectives and policies of the portfolio company to its management and board of directors, including participating on the company’s board of directors. Our portfolio company advisory and administrative fees for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $5 million and $3 million, respectively.

Advisory and Administrative Services - ACAM

We have entered into service agreements with ACAM to provide additional asset management and administrative service support so that ACAM can fulfill its responsibilities under its management agreements. The fees generated from these service agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $7 million and $9 million, respectively.


75


Other Fees

Other fees are primarily composed of transaction fees for structuring, financing and executing portfolio transactions, which may not be recurring in nature. These fees amounted to $4 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by $8 million, or 12%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 over the comparable period in 2014. Operating expenses consisted of the following (in millions):

Interest
Interest expense increased by $5 million, or 42%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 over the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in the daily weighted average debt balance partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on our borrowings. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, including amortization of deferred financing costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 3.7% and 5.9%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of our borrowings, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 3.2% and 5.2%, respectively.
As discussed in Note 1 to our interim consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, we consolidated our investment in European Capital effective October 1, 2014. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded $1 million of interest expense related to European Capital’s debt.

Due to changes in the composition of our investment portfolio and market conditions, we conducted strategic reviews of our business in the fourth quarter of 2014, which resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 13% of our employees and the closing of one of our offices as well as the elimination of certain functions at other offices. In conjunction with the restructuring, the vesting of any unvested stock options held by impacted employees as of the date of their separation was accelerated, and they were given a period of up to one year from their separation date, or less if the expiration of the option was within one year from their separation date, to exercise all outstanding options. We have recorded charges for severance and related employee costs of $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, including $4 million from the modification of stock options and $6 million for severance costs for additional workforce reductions during the quarter.
Salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $2 million, or 5%, from the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to a reduction in base salaries and stock-based compensation due to the workforce reductions in the fourth quarter of 2014 partially offset by $4 million in compensation expense due to the acceleration of stock options and $6 million in severance costs associated with additional workforce reductions in the first quarter of 2015.

76


As of March 31, 2015, we employed 367 full-time employees, which included 143 employees at ACAM, compared to 392 full-time employees as of March 31, 2014.
European Capital Management Fees
Management fees represent fees charged by European Capital Asset Management Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACAM, to European Capital for management and other services during the quarter. These fees are recorded as operating revenue in ACAM’s statement of operations and are a component of the dividend income we receive from ACAM.

The tax provision - net operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased by $17 million from the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to the increase in pre-tax net operating income.
The tax benefit (provision) - net realized (loss) gain for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased by $46 million from the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to the relative amounts of realizations treated as capital gains or losses, which have an effective tax rate of 0%, as compared to gains and losses that reduce ordinary income, which have an effective tax rate of approximately 40%.
The tax (provision) benefit - net unrealized appreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased by $88 million from the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to the relative amounts of unrealized appreciation that impact capital gain or loss and the recognition of subpart F income on our investment in European Capital.

The following are summary descriptions of portfolio companies with realized gains or losses equal to or greater than $30 million.
In the first quarter of 2015, as a result of a restructuring transaction and the conversion of certain of our debt investments to equity investments, we wrote off a portion of our equity investments in CML Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“CML”) and realized a loss of $168 million, which was fully offset by a reversal of unrealized depreciation of $168 million.
As discussed in Note 7 to our interim consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, European Capital has issued restricted mandatorily redeemable preferred shares (“Redeemable Preferred Shares”) to participating employees of subsidiary companies of its manager, European Capital Asset Management Limited (“ECAM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ACAM, under Long Term Incentive Plans. In the first quarter of 2015, a portion of the Redeemable Preferred Shares were redeemed and European Capital realized a loss of $46 million, offset by a reversal of unrealized depreciation of $46 million.

American Capital One Stop Buyouts® 
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, American Capital One Stop Buyouts® experienced $4 million of net unrealized appreciation driven by specific company performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, American Capital One Stop Buyouts® experienced $113 million of net unrealized depreciation driven by the ACE III transaction and specific company performance.
Sponsor Finance Investments
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, Sponsor Finance Investments experienced $33 million of net unrealized depreciation primarily driven by specific company performance.
European Capital
As discussed in Note 1 to our interim consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, we consolidated our investment in European Capital effective October 1, 2014. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded $2 million of net unrealized appreciation on the consolidated European Capital investment portfolio and unrealized appreciation of $28 million for foreign currency translation on the European Capital investment portfolio.
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized net unrealized appreciation of $64 million on our investment in European Capital driven by a reduction in the discount applied to the NAV of European Capital and net unrealized appreciation of European Capital’s underlying investment portfolio.
For foreign currency denominated investments recorded at fair value, such as our European Capital portfolio investments, the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation from foreign currency translation on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations represents the economic impact of translating the cost basis of the investment from a foreign currency, such as the Euro, to the U.S. dollar. However, the economic impact of translating the cumulative unrealized appreciation or depreciation from a foreign currency to the U.S. dollar is not recorded as net unrealized depreciation or appreciation from foreign currency translation but rather is included as net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of portfolio company investments on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

79


For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded unrealized depreciation of $4 million for foreign currency translation on the cost basis in our investment in European Capital.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the unrealized appreciation on our investment in European Capital of $64 million, excluding unrealized appreciation on foreign currency translation, was due primarily to a reduction to the discount applied to NAV. In addition, we received a dividend from European Capital of $104 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 that was treated as a return of capital.
The following is a summary composition of European Capital’s NAV at fair value and our equity investment’s implied discount to European Capital’s NAV at fair value (€ and $ in millions) as of March 31, 2014:

American Capital Asset Management, LLC
ACAM had a cost basis of $441 million and $1,173 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized $4 million of unrealized depreciation on our investment in ACAM. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized $121 million of unrealized appreciation, on our investment in ACAM. The unrealized appreciation on our investment in ACAM for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to increases in actual and forecasted growth for AGNC and MTGE, multiple expansion and projected fees for managing ACE III.
Structured Products Investments
American Capital has investments in Structured Products (which includes investment and non-investment grade tranches of CLO, CDO and CMBS securities) with a cost basis of $691 million and fair value of $641 million as of March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded $3 million and $2 million of net unrealized depreciation, respectively, on our Structured Products investments primarily due to unrealized depreciation on our investments in CLO and CDO portfolios of commercial loans due to decreasing spreads on underlying collateral as investments are nearing the end of their life.
Derivative Agreements and Other and WRH, Inc. Equity Option
For interest rate agreements, we estimate the fair value based on the estimated net present value of the future cash flows using a forward interest rate yield curve in effect as of the end of the measurement period, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any, including an evaluation of our credit risk and our counterparty’s credit risk. A negative fair value would represent an amount we would have to pay a third-party and a positive fair value would represent an amount we would receive from a third-party to assume our obligation under an interest rate agreement. The derivative agreements generally appreciate or depreciate primarily based on relative market interest rates and their remaining term to maturity as well as changes in our and our counterparty’s credit risk.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded $43 million of net unrealized appreciation from derivative agreements and other, primarily due to the reversal of unrealized depreciation on the redemption of Redeemable Preferred Shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded $37 million of unrealized depreciation on the WRH, Inc. Equity Option due to an increase in the fair value of the Equity Option.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are our investment portfolio, cash and cash equivalents and the available capacity under our various revolving credit facilities.
As of March 31, 2015, we had $469 million of cash and cash equivalents, $81 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents and $919 million of available capacity under our various revolving credit facilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we principally funded our operations from (i) cash receipts from interest, dividend and fee income from our

80


investment portfolio, (ii) cash proceeds from the realization of portfolio investments and (iii) draws under our various revolving credit facilities.
As of March 31, 2015, our required principal amortization for the next twelve months consists of $4.5 million scheduled amortization on our secured term loans. We believe that we will continue to generate sufficient cash flow through the receipt of interest, dividend and fee payments from our investment portfolio, as well as cash proceeds from the realization of select portfolio investments, to allow us to continue to service our debt, pay our operating costs and expenses, fund capital to our current portfolio companies and originate new investments. However, there is no certainty that we will be able to generate sufficient liquidity.
Operating, Investing and Financing Cash Flows
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net cash used in operations was $12 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash provided by operations was $8 million. Our cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily from the collection of interest, dividends and fees on our investment portfolio, less operating expenses and the redemption of Redeemable Preferred Shares. Our cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily from the collection of interest, dividends and fees on our investment portfolio, less operating expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $488 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash provided by investing activities was $260 million. Our cash flow from investing activities included cash proceeds from the realization of portfolio investments totaling $225 million and $442 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, we had portfolio investments totaling $7.0 billion at fair value, including $4.2 billion in debt investments, $2.2 billion in equity investments and $0.6 billion in Structured Products investments. However, a majority of our investments are generally illiquid and no active primary or secondary market exists for the trading of these investments and our estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the values that may be ultimately realized. We are generally repaid or exit our investments upon a change of control event of the portfolio company, such as a sale or recapitalization of the portfolio company.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $312 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash used in financing activities was $115 million. Our cash flow from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to $304 million in net proceeds received from our revolving credit facilities. The primary use of cash from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was repurchases of our common stock of $137 million.
Debt Capital
As a BDC, we are permitted to issue senior debt securities and preferred stock (collectively, “Senior Securities”) in any amounts as long as immediately after such issuance our asset coverage is at least 200%, or equal to or greater than our asset coverage prior to such issuance, after taking into account the payment of debt with proceeds from such issuance. Asset coverage is defined as the ratio of the value of the total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by Senior Securities, bears to the aggregate amount of Senior Securities representing indebtedness. However, if our asset coverage is below 200%, we may also borrow amounts up to 5% of our total assets for temporary purposes even if that would cause our asset coverage ratio to further decline. As of March 31, 2015, our debt obligations, excluding discounts, were $2,009 million and our asset coverage was 370%. See Note 5 to our interim consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of our debt obligations.

Equity Capital
As a BDC, we are generally not able to issue or sell our common stock at a price below our NAV per share, exclusive of any distributing commission or discount, except (i) with the prior approval of a majority of our shareholders, (ii) in connection with a rights offering to our existing shareholders, or (iii) under such other circumstances as the SEC may permit. As of March 31, 2015, our NAV was $20.12 per share and our closing market price was $14.79 per share.
During 2011, our Board of Directors adopted a program that may provide for share repurchases or dividend payments (the “Program”). During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we repurchased a total of 8.9 million shares of our common stock in the open market for $137 million at an average price of $15.38 per share. In March 2014, our Board of Directors suspended the Program. In March 2015, our Board of Directors reinstated the Program. See Note 10 to our interim consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the Program.
Commitments
 As of March 31, 2015, we had commitments under loan and financing agreements to fund up to $217 million to 29 portfolio companies. These commitments are primarily composed of working capital credit facilities, acquisition credit facilities and subscription agreements. The commitments are generally subject to the borrowers meeting certain criteria such as compliance with covenants and availability under borrowing base thresholds. The terms of the borrowings and financings subject to commitment are comparable to the terms of other loan and equity securities in our portfolio. As of March 31, 2015, European Capital and
its affiliates had a commitment of $63 million to fund European Capital UK SME Debt LP and $179 million to fund European Capital Private Debt LP. In addition, as of
March 31, 2015, ACAM had a commitment of $173 million to American Capital Equity III, LP, which would be funded by an equity investment from American Capital. See Note 14 to our interim consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of ACAM’s American Capital Equity III, LP’s commitment.

Non-Performing Loans Analysis
We stop accruing interest on our debt investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Our valuation analysis serves as a critical piece of data in this determination. A significant change in the portfolio company valuation assigned by us could have an effect on the amount of our loans on non-accrual status.
American Capital Non-Performing Loans
As of March 31, 2015, American Capital loans on non-accrual status for 11 portfolio companies had a cost basis and fair value of $186 million and $98 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, current loans, past due accruing loans and loans on non-accrual status were as follows (dollars in millions):

Non-accruing loans at cost decreased by $15 million from December 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015 primarily due to $26 million of exits and write-offs partially offset by $14 million of loans placed on non-accrual status due to weaker portfolio company performance. In addition, the cost basis of existing non-accrual loans decreased by $3 million.
During the first quarter of 2015, we recapitalized one portfolio company by exchanging our loan for preferred equity securities that had a cost basis and fair value of $59 million.

European Capital Non-Performing Loans
As of March 31, 2015, European Capital loans on non-accrual status for 6 portfolio companies had a cost basis and fair value of $137 million and $20 million, respectively.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 
All statements contained herein that are not historical facts including, but not limited to, statements regarding anticipated activity are forward looking in nature and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: (i) changes in the economic conditions in which we operate negatively impacting our financial resources; (ii) certain of our competitors have greater financial resources than us, reducing the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us or reducing the yield necessary to consummate the investment; (iii) there is uncertainty regarding the value of our privately-held securities that require our good faith estimate of fair value, and a change in estimate could affect our NAV; (iv) our investments in securities of privately-held companies may be illiquid, which could affect our ability to realize the investment; (v) our portfolio companies could default on their loans or provide no returns on our investments, which could affect our operating results; (vi) we use external financing to fund our business, which may not always be available; (vii) our ability to retain key management personnel; (viii) an economic downturn or recession could impair our portfolio companies and therefore harm our operating results; (ix) our borrowing arrangements impose certain restrictions; (x) changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital and NOI; (xi) we cannot incur additional indebtedness unless immediately after a debt issuance we maintain an asset coverage of at least 200%, or equal to or greater than our asset coverage prior to such issuance, which may affect returns to our shareholder; (xii) our common stock price may be volatile; and (xiii) general business and economic conditions and other risk factors described in our reports filed from time to time with the SEC. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made.
ITEM 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and the valuations of our investment portfolio.
Interest Rate Risk 
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in NOI and net earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our NOI and net earnings are affected by the difference between the interest rate at which we invest and the interest rate at which we borrow. 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 NOI and net earnings. 
As of March 31, 2015, approximately 12% of the principal balance of the debt investments in our portfolio were at fixed rates, approximately 72% were at variable rates with interest rate floors, primarily three-month LIBOR, 4% were at variable rates with no interest rate floors and 12% were on non-accrual status (2% of loans on non-accrual status were at variable rates). Additionally, as of March 31, 2015, approximately 22% of our borrowings bear interest at variable rates with a 0.75% interest rate floor, 61% of our borrowings bear interest at variable rates with no interest rate floors and 17% of our borrowings bear interest at fixed rates. The three-month LIBOR rate was 0.3% as of March 31, 2015. 
We maintain an interest rate risk management strategy under which we use derivative financial instruments to primarily manage the adverse impact of interest rate changes on our cash flows by locking in the spread between our asset yield and the cost of our borrowings, and to fulfill our obligation under the terms of our asset securitizations. While our interest rate risk management strategy may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain derivative transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate derivative agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments. 
Our derivatives are considered economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging. We record the accrual of the periodic interest settlements of interest rate derivatives in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation and subsequently record the cash payments as a realized gain or loss on the interest settlement date.


85


Based on our March 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheets, the following table shows the annual impact on NOI and net earnings of base rate changes in the applicable interest rate indexes, primarily three-month LIBOR, (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments and excluding changes in the fair value of our investments and derivative instruments and loans on non-accrual status) assuming no changes in our investment, hedging and borrowing structure (in millions):

Foreign Currency Risks
We have a number of investments in portfolio companies, primarily the European Capital investment portfolio, for which the investment is denominated in a foreign currency, primarily the Euro. We also have other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates therefore impact our financial condition and results of operations, as reported in U.S. dollars. As of March 31, 2015, the cumulative translation adjustment, net of tax, recorded in our consolidated balance sheet was $134 million, due to the translation of European Capital’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2015.
As of March 31, 2015, our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk was estimated using a sensitivity analysis, which illustrates a hypothetical change in the foreign currency exchange rate as of March 31, 2015. As stated above, the Euro is the functional currency for the majority of our investments denominated in a foreign currency, and as such, the sensitivity analysis excludes any changes in other foreign currencies. Actual changes in foreign currency exchange rates may differ from this hypothetical change. Based on a hypothetical increase or decrease of 5% in the Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate, assuming no hedging, the fair value of our investments would have increased or decreased by approximately $35 million.
Portfolio Valuation
Our investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, such estimates of fair value controls may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned. As of March 31, 2015, the fair value of 64% of our investments were estimated using Level 3 inputs determined in good faith by our Board of Directors because there was no active market for such investments.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports 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 based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” as promulgated under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
American Capital, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the first quarter of 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
