Note 1. Principal Business and Organization

Corporate Capital Trust II (the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on August 12, 2014. The Company is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company and has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s investment objective is to provide its shareholders with current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation, by investing primarily in the debt of privately owned U.S. companies with a focus on originated transactions sourced through the networks of its advisors. The Company has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.

Since inception and through April 8, 2018, the Company was externally managed by CNL Fund Advisors II, LLC, as investment adviser (“CNL”), and KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC, as investment sub-adviser (“KKR”, and together with CNL, the “Former Advisors”). On April 9, 2018, the Company entered into a new investment advisory agreement with FS/KKR Advisor, LLC (the “Joint Advisor”), a newly-formed entity that is jointly operated by KKR and an affiliate of Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., which does business as FS Investments, pursuant to which the Joint Advisor serves as the Company’s investment adviser. See Note 6. “Related Party Transactions” for additional information.

Since inception and through April 8, 2018, the Former Advisors were, and effective April 9, 2018, the Joint Advisor is, responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments, determining the securities and other assets that the Company will purchase, retain or sell and monitoring the Company’s portfolio on an ongoing basis, as well as providing the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate. Both the Former Advisors and the Joint Advisor (collectively, the “Advisors”) are registered as investment advisers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

On September 29, 2014, the Company filed a registration statement on Form N-2 (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC to permit the Company to sell up to $2.6 billion of shares of common stock (275 million shares) on a continuous basis (the “Offering”). The Registration Statement was declared effective on October 9, 2015. In January 2018, the Company suspended its Offering to new investors and on April 30, 2018, terminated the Offering. See Note 9. “Share Transactions” for additional information regarding the Offering.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”). The unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnotes, prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been condensed or omitted herein. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

 

financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on March 2, 2018.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, (ii) the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods presented and (iii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash – Cash consists of demand deposits.

Valuation of Investments – The Company measures the value of its investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC Topic 820”), issued by the FASB. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company considers its principal market to be the market that has the greatest volume and level of activity.

ASC Topic 820 defines hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs used to determine fair values of assets and liabilities. The hierarchical levels and types of inputs used to measure fair value for each level are described as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. Publicly listed equities and debt securities, publicly listed derivatives, money market/short-term investment funds and foreign currency are generally included in Level 1. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.

Level 2 – Valuation inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. In certain cases, debt and equity securities are valued on the basis of prices from orderly transactions for similar investments in active markets between market participants and provided by reputable dealers or independent pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, independent pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments, and various relationships between investments. Investments generally included in this category are corporate bonds and loans, convertible debt indexed to publicly listed securities, foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency and certain over-the-counter derivatives.

Level 3 – Valuation inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation. Investments generally included in this category are illiquid corporate bonds and loans, unlisted common and preferred stock investments, and equity options that lack observable market pricing.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Depending on the relative liquidity in the markets for certain investments, the Company may transfer assets to Level 3 if it determines that observable quoted prices, obtained directly or indirectly, are not available or reliable. Investments are transferred at fair value as of the beginning of the month in which they are transferred. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and the consideration of factors specific to the investment.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to the Company’s portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Company’s board of trustees is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the board of trustees, based on, among other things, the input of the Joint Advisor and the Company’s management, its audit committee, and independent third-party valuation firms.

The Company and the board of trustees conduct their fair value determination process when a decision regarding the fair value of the portfolio investments is required. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been determined had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment that does not have a readily available market value in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value recorded by the Company.

The Company and the Joint Advisor undertake a multi-step valuation process for determining the fair value of the Company’s investments, the market prices of which are not readily available, as described below:

 

   

Each investment is valued by the Company’s independent third-party valuation firm, which provides a valuation range for each investment to the Joint Advisor.

 

   

Valuation recommendations, which include selection of a specific value within the valuation range, are formulated and documented by personnel of the Joint Advisor. Valuation recommendations, along with supporting documentation, for each investment are provided to the Company.

 

   

Following Company management review, valuation recommendations and supporting documentation are provided to the Company’s audit committee for further review.

 

   

As a final step, the Company’s board of trustees discusses the investment valuation recommendations with the Joint Advisor, the Company’s independent third-party valuation firm, where applicable, and the Company’s management, and based on those discussions and the related review process conducted by the Company’s audit committee, approves the fair value of the investments as determined in good faith by such valuation process conducted under the supervision of the board of trustees.

The valuation techniques used by the Company for the assets and liabilities that are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy are described below.

Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt: Senior debt and subordinated debt investments are initially valued at transaction price and are subsequently valued using (i) market data for similar instruments (e.g., recent transactions or indicative broker quotes), (ii) comparisons to benchmark derivative indices or (iii) valuation models. Valuation models are generally based on yield analysis and discounted cash flow techniques, where the key inputs are based on relative value analyses and the assignment of risk-adjusted discounted rates, based on the analysis of similar instruments from similar issuers. In addition, an illiquidity discount is applied where appropriate.

Equity/Other Investments: Equity/other investments are initially valued at transaction price and are subsequently valued using valuation models in the absence of readily observable market prices. Valuation models are generally based on (i) market and income (discounted cash flow) approaches, in which various internal and external factors are considered, and (ii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) valuation multiples analysis. Factors include key financial inputs and recent public and private transactions for comparable investments. Key inputs used for the discounted cash flow approach include the weighted average cost of capital and assumed inputs used to calculate terminal values, such as EBITDA exit multiples. The fair value for a particular investment will generally be within the value range conclusions derived by the two approaches. Upon completion of the valuations conducted, an illiquidity discount is applied where appropriate.

The Company utilizes several valuation techniques that use unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions in determining the fair value of its Level 3 investments. The valuation techniques, as well as key unobservable inputs that have a significant impact on the Company’s Level 3 valuations, are described in Note 5. “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” The unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions may differ by asset and in the application of the Company’s valuation methodologies. The reported fair value estimates could vary materially if the Company had chosen to incorporate different unobservable pricing inputs and other assumptions.

Security Transactions, Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses, and Income Recognition – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Company measures realized gains or losses from the sale of investments using the specific identification method. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized. The amortized cost basis of investments includes (i) the original cost and (ii) adjustments for the accretion/amortization of market discounts and premiums and original issue discount and loan origination fees. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the unaudited condensed statements of operations.

Interest Income – Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums to par value and accretion of discounts to par value. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Generally, loan origination, closing, commitment and other fees received by the Company directly or

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

indirectly from borrowers in connection with the closing of investments are accreted over the contractual life of the debt investment as interest income based on the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of a debt investment, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan fees and discounts are recorded as interest income.

Certain of the Company’s investments in debt securities contain a contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. The PIK provisions generally feature the obligation or the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in (i) cash, (ii) additional debt securities or (iii) a combination of cash and additional debt securities. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in the investment’s credit agreement, is accrued as interest income and recorded as interest receivable up to the interest payment date. On the interest payment dates, the Company will capitalize the accrued interest receivable attributable to PIK as additional principal due from the borrower. When additional PIK securities are received on the interest payment date, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. PIK interest generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer.

If the portfolio company valuation indicates the value of the PIK investment is not sufficient to cover the contractual PIK interest, the Company will not accrue additional PIK interest income and will record an allowance for any accrued PIK interest receivable as a reduction of interest income in the period the Company determines it is not collectible.

Debt securities are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest payments are at least 90 days past due or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Generally, accrued interest is reversed against interest income when a debt security is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest payments received on debt securities on nonaccrual status may be recognized as interest income or applied to principal based on management’s judgment. Debt securities on nonaccrual status are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid and, in management’s judgment, such investments are likely to remain current on interest payment obligations. The Company may make exceptions to this treatment if the debt security has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Fee Income – In its role as the Company’s investment adviser, the Joint Advisor or its affiliates may provide financial advisory services to portfolio companies and in return may receive fees for capital structuring services. The Joint Advisor is obligated to remit to the Company any earned capital structuring fees based on the pro-rata portion of the Company’s investment in co-investment transactions and originated investments. These fees are generally nonrecurring and are recognized as fee income by the Company upon the investment closing date. The Company may also receive fees for commitments, amendments and other services related to portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as fee income when earned or the services are rendered.

Dividend Income – Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Each distribution received from a limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated earnings in the LLC and LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Derivative Instruments The Company’s derivative instruments consists of a foreign currency contract. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its unaudited condensed financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result, the Company presents changes in fair value through net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative instruments in the unaudited condensed statements of operations. Realized gains and losses that occur upon the cash settlement of the derivative instruments are included in net realized gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the unaudited condensed statements of operations.

Paid In Capital – The Company records the proceeds from the sale of its common stock on a net basis to (i) capital stock and (ii) paid-in capital in excess of par value, excluding up-front selling commissions and dealer manager fees.

Deferred Financing Costs – Financing costs, including upfront fees, commitment fees and legal fees related to the Company’s credit facility are deferred and amortized over the life of the related financing instrument using the straight-line method. The amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense in the unaudited condensed statements of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation, Transactions and Gains/Losses – Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) at the exchange rate on the last business day of the reporting period for the fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities; and (ii) at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective recording dates for the purchase and sale of investment securities, income, expenses, gains and losses.

Net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above and the Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held; therefore, fluctuations related to foreign exchange rate conversions are included with the net realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.

Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions arise from sales of foreign currency, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Company and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid by the Company.

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from foreign currency translation for other receivables or payables is presented as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in foreign currency translation in the unaudited condensed statements of operations.

Management Fees – The Company incurs a base management fee (recorded as investment advisory fees) and performance-based incentive fees, including (i) a subordinated incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains, due to the Joint Advisor pursuant to an investment advisory agreement described in Note 6. “Related Party Transactions.” The two components of performance-based incentive fees are combined and expensed in the unaudited condensed statements of operations and accrued as accrued performance-based incentive fees in the unaudited condensed statements of assets and liabilities. Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the investment advisory agreement) based on the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, net of all realized capital losses on a cumulative basis

and unrealized depreciation at year end, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. Although the terms of the investment advisory agreement do not provide for the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the incentive fee on capital gains, pursuant to relevant authoritative guidance for investment companies, the Company includes unrealized gains in the calculation of the incentive fee on capital gains expense and related accrued incentive fee on capital gains. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to the Joint Advisor if the Company’s entire portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though the Joint Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.

Organization and Offering Expenses – Organization expenses were expensed on the Company’s statements of operations. Offering expenses were capitalized on the Company’s statements of assets and liabilities as deferred offering expenses and expensed to the Company’s statements of operations over a 12-month period, however, the deferral period did not exceed 12 months from the date the Former Advisors incurred the offering expenses.

Earnings per Share – Earnings per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.

Distributions – Weekly distributions are generally declared from time to time by the Company’s board of trustees and recognized as a liability on the applicable record date. Distributions are paid monthly. The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of distributions on behalf of shareholders. Shareholders who have elected to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a price per share equivalent to the then current public offering price, net of up-front selling commissions and dealer manager fees.

Federal Income Taxes – The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to maintain its qualification, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes on distributed income and gains if it distributes at least 90% of its “Investment Company Taxable Income,” as defined in the Code. The Company intends to distribute sufficient amounts to maintain RIC status and minimize income taxes on undistributed capital gains and investment company taxable income.

The Company is generally subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if it does not distribute to its shareholders an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (iii) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which the Company paid no federal income tax. The Company may pay a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on under-distribution of capital gains and net ordinary income.

The Company recognizes in its unaudited condensed financial statements the effect of a tax position when it is deemed more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as tax expenses in the current year. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes—Overall—Recognition, nor did it have any unrecognized tax benefits for the periods presented herein. Although the Company files federal and state tax returns, its major tax jurisdiction is federal.

Permanent book and tax basis differences are reclassified among the Company’s capital accounts, as appropriate on an annual basis. Additionally, the tax character and amount of distributions is determined in accordance with the Code which differs from GAAP.

Reclassifications As of June 30, 2018, the Company has revised its investment categories to reclassify investments that were previously categorized as Equity/Other to two new categories of Asset Based Finance and Equity/Other. This revision better distinguishes between corporate equity investments and investments that are primarily collateralized by hard assets, financial assets or investments in specialty finance platforms that provide exposure to hard assets or financial assets. The Company’s Asset Based Finance investments may be in the form of debt, equity, derivatives or private placement funds. The Company has adjusted the presentation of its asset categories for all periods presented to conform to the current period presentation.

The following table provides additional details of the fair value of investments reclassified by category as of December 31, 2017:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC Topic 606, using the cumulative effect method applied to in-scope contracts with customers that have not been completed as of the date of adoption. The Company did not identify any in-scope contracts that had not been completed as of the date of adoption and, as a result, did not recognize a cumulative effect on stockholders’ equity in connection with the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance.

Note 3. Investments

The Company is engaged in a strategy to invest primarily in the debt of privately owned and thinly traded U.S. companies. The primary investment concentrations include (i) senior debt securities and (ii) subordinated debt securities. The Company’s investments may, in some cases, be accompanied by warrants, options or other forms of equity participation. The Company may separately purchase common or preferred equity interests, including non-controlling equity investments. Additionally, the Company may invest in convertible securities, derivatives and private investment funds. The Company may also co-invest with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures or other entities, thereby acquiring jointly controlled or non-controlling interests in certain investments in conjunction with participation by one or more third parties in such investment. The fair value of the Company’s investments will generally fluctuate with, among other things, changes in prevailing interest rates, the general supply of, and demand for, debt capital among private and public companies, general domestic and global economic conditions, the condition of certain financial markets, developments or trends in any particular industry and changes in the financial condition and credit quality of each security’s issuer.

The Company did not invest in derivative instruments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies and to economically hedge the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. These contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract forward exchange rate and the forward market exchange rate on the last day of the period presented as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized when forward contracts are settled. Risks arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company attempts to limit counterparty risk by only dealing with well-known counterparties.

The Company was a party to one foreign currency forward contract during the period which related to economic hedging of the Company’s foreign currency denominated debt investments. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s open foreign currency forward contract was as follows:

In addition, the Company had one derivative, as described in Note 4. “Derivative Instruments,” which was categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017. The carrying value of cash is classified as Level 1 with respect to the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2018, the Company held 52 distinct investment positions classified as Level 3, representing an aggregate fair value of $60,138 or 32.1% of the total investment portfolio. At December 31, 2017, the Company held 21 distinct investment positions classified as Level 3, representing an aggregate fair value of $37,521 or 22.9% of the total investment portfolio. The ranges of unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Level 3 investments as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:

Certain investments may be valued at cost for a period of time after an acquisition as the best indicator of fair value.

Weighted average amounts are based on the estimated fair values.

This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the input would have the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.

The preceding tables represent the significant unobservable inputs as they relate to the Company’s determination of fair values for the majority of its investments categorized within Level 3 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the table above, according to the Company’s valuation policy, the Company may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the fair value estimates for the Company’s investments. Any significant increases or decreases in the unobservable inputs would result in significant increases or decreases in the fair value of the Company’s investments.

Investments that do not have a readily available market value are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach (i.e. discounted cash flow approach), or both approaches, as appropriate. The market comparables approach uses prices, including third party indicative broker quotes, and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) that are discounted based on a required or expected discount rate to derive a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors the Company may take into account to determine the fair value of its investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including an assessment of the credit quality of the security’s issuer, relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, illiquidity discounts, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, data derived from merger and acquisition activities for comparable companies, and enterprise values, among other factors.

Note 6. Related Party Transactions

Managing Dealer Agreement and Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan

The Company was a party to a managing dealer agreement with CNL Securities Corp., an affiliate of CNL. CNL Securities Corp. which served as the managing dealer (the “Managing Dealer”) of the Company’s Offering and in connection therewith received up-front selling commissions of up to 2.00% of gross offering proceeds, up-front dealer manager fees of up to 2.75% of gross offering proceeds and ongoing distribution and shareholder servicing fees at an annualized rate of 1.25% of the Company’s most recently published net asset value per share, excluding shares issued through the distribution reinvestment plan. All or any portion of these fees were re-allowed to participating brokers.

On March 16, 2017, the board of trustees approved an amended and restated managing dealer agreement (the “Managing Dealer Agreement”) between the Company and the Managing Dealer and approved an amended and restated distribution and shareholder servicing plan for the Company (the “Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan”) which lowered the ongoing distribution and shareholder servicing fee paid to the Managing Dealer from an annualized rate of 1.25% to an annualized rate of 1.00% of the Company’s net asset value per share. On April 9, 2018, the Managing Dealer Agreement and the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan were terminated effective April 30, 2018.

Investment Advisory Agreements

On April 9, 2018, the Company terminated the Former Investment Advisory Agreement (as defined below) and concurrently entered into a new investment advisory agreement with the Joint Advisor (the “Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Joint Advisor a fee for their services consisting of two components – a base management fee based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets and incentive fees based on the Company’s performance. Under the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement, the Joint Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee of 1.50% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets, as compared to the annual rate of 2.00% under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the calculation of the base management fee under the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement excludes cash and cash equivalents from gross assets, as compared to the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, which included cash and cash equivalents within the definition of gross assets. Under the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement, the Joint Advisor serves as the sole investment adviser of the Company.

Previously, the Company was a party to an investment advisory agreement with CNL (the “Former Investment Advisory Agreement”) for the overall management of the Company’s activities. CNL was a party to a sub-advisory agreement with KKR (the “Former Sub-Advisory Agreement”), under which KKR was responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company’s investment portfolio. Pursuant to the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, CNL earned (i) a management fee equal to an annual rate of 2.00% of the Company’s average gross assets, and (ii) an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance. The incentive fee consisted of (i) a subordinated incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital gains. CNL compensated KKR for advisory services that it provided to the Company with 50% of the fees that CNL received under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

A subordinated incentive fee on income is payable to the Joint Advisor each calendar quarter if the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment fee income (as defined in the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement and

Note 6. Related Party Transactions (continued)

 

approved by the Company’s board of trustees) exceeds the 1.75% quarterly preference return to the Company’s shareholders (the ratio of pre-incentive fee net investment income divided by average adjusted capital).

The annual incentive fees on capital gains recorded for GAAP purposes are equal to (i) 20% of the Company’s realized and unrealized capital gains on a cumulative basis since inception, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception, less (ii) the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fees on capital gains. For financial reporting purposes, in accordance with GAAP, the Company includes unrealized appreciation on the investment portfolio in the calculation of incentive fees on capital gains; however, such amounts are not payable by the Company unless and until the net unrealized appreciation is actually realized. The actual amount of incentive fees on capital gains that are due and payable to the Joint Advisor is determined at the end of the calendar year.

The terms of the incentive fees are substantially the same as those to which CNL was entitled to receive under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement.

The Company did not incur any subordinated incentive fee on income under the Investment Advisory Agreements during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The Company had accrued $15 of incentive fees payable on capital gains under the Investment Advisory Agreements as of June 30, 2018.

Under the terms of the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, CNL (and indirectly KKR) was entitled to receive up to 1.50% of gross offering proceeds as reimbursement for organization and offering expenses incurred by the Former Advisors on behalf of the Company. The Former Advisors had incurred organization and offering costs of approximately $5,400 as of March 31, 2018 on behalf of the Company. The Former Advisors waived the reimbursement of organization and offering expenses in connection with the Company’s gross capital raise received from the Offering from March 1, 2016 (when the Company satisfied the minimum offering requirement) through April 30, 2017 (the “O&O Reimbursement Waiver”). The O&O Reimbursement Waiver did not reduce the amount of organization and offering expenses incurred by the Former Advisors that were eligible for reimbursement in future periods based on subsequent gross capital raised by the Company after April 30, 2017. Gross capital raised by the Company after April 30, 2017 was subject to the maximum organization and offering cost reimbursement of 1.50%. The Former Advisors were entitled to reimbursement of approximately $400 of organization and offering costs for gross capital raised for the period May 1, 2017 through April 9, 2018, all of which had been reimbursed to the Former Advisors as of April 9, 2018. A contingent obligation for the balance of organization and offering costs, subject to reimbursement based on future gross proceeds raised assuming a reinstatement of the Company’s Offering, was approximately $5,000 as of April 30, 2018.

On April 30, 2018, the Company terminated its Offering and in conjunction therewith, the Former Advisors agreed to permanently waive their rights to receive reimbursement of approximately $5,000 of organization and offering expenses that they had incurred on the Company’s behalf. As such, as of June 30, 2018, the Company had no contingent obligations to reimburse its Former Advisors for organization and offering expenses.

Administrative Services Agreements

The Company was a party to an administrative services agreement with CNL (“Former Administrative Services Agreement”), under which CNL performed, or oversaw the performance of, various administrative services on behalf of the Company. Administrative services included investor services, general ledger accounting, fund

accounting, maintaining required financial records, calculating the Company’s net asset value, filing tax returns, preparing and filing SEC reports, preparing, printing, and disseminating shareholder reports and generally overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. The Company reimbursed CNL for administrative expenses it incurred in performing its obligations.

On April 9, 2018, the Company terminated the Former Administrative Services Agreement with CNL and concurrently entered into a new administrative services agreement with the Joint Advisor (the “Joint Advisor Administrative Services Agreement”). Under the Joint Advisor Administrative Services Agreement, the Joint Advisor serves as the Company’s administrator. The terms of the Joint Advisor Administrative Services Agreement, including the services to be provided by the Joint Advisor as administrator and the amount of reimbursements to be paid by the Company for certain administrative expenses, are substantially the same as those under the Former Administrative Services Agreement.

Expense Support Agreements

The Company was a party to an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, as amended and restated (the “Former Expense Support Agreement”) with the Former Advisors pursuant to which the Former Advisors jointly and severally agreed to pay to the Company some or all of its operating expenses (an “Expense Support Payment”) for each month during the Former Expense Support Payment Period (as defined below) in which the Company’s board of trustees declared a distribution to its shareholders. Expense Support Payments were made in accordance with the terms of the Former Expense Support Agreement. The “Expense Support Payment Period” commenced on March 1, 2016 and terminated effective with the termination of the Former Expense Support Agreement on April 9, 2018.

The Former Advisors were entitled to be reimbursed promptly by the Company (a “Reimbursement Payment”) for Expense Support Payments made with respect to any class of common stock, subject to the limitation that no Reimbursement Payment may be made by the Company to the extent that it would cause the Company’s Other Operating Expenses (as defined in the Former Expense Support Agreement) for such class of common stock to exceed the lesser of (A) 1.75% of average net assets attributable to common shares on an annualized basis after taking such payment into account and (B) the percentage of average net assets attributable to shares of such class of common stock represented by Other Operating Expenses (as defined in the Former Expense Support Agreement) during the period in which such Expense Support Payment from the Former Advisors was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) did not apply to any reimbursement payment which related to an Expense Support Payment from the Former Advisors made during the same period).

Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement and the Joint Advisor Administrative Services Agreement, on April 9, 2018, the Company entered into a new expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement (the “Joint Advisor Expense Support Agreement”), which replaced the Former Expense Support Agreement. The Joint Advisor Expense Support Agreement is substantially similar to the Former Expense Support Agreement.

Note 7. Distributions

The Company intends to declare cash distributions on a weekly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. The Company’s board of trustees declared weekly distributions of $0.011250 per share beginning on January 2, 2018 through and including June 26, 2018. These distributions were paid monthly to shareholders of record as of monthly record dates previously determined by the Company’s board of trustees. On July 18, 2018 and July 31, 2018, the Company’s board of trustees declared distributions which have been or will be recorded weekly and paid monthly for July through August 2018 and September through October 2018, respectively, each in the amount of $0.011250 per share. The timing and amount of any future distributions to shareholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Company’s board of trustees.

The total and the sources of declared distributions on a GAAP basis for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are presented in the tables below:

The above table does not represent all adjustments to calculate taxable income available for distributions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the tax-related sources of distributions of $629 were greater than the distributions in excess of net investment income of $97. As a result, the Company estimates that none of the distributions declared during the six months ended June 30, 2018 would be classified as a tax basis return of capital. None of the distributions declared during the year ended December 31, 2017 were classified as a tax basis return of capital.

The Company suspended its Offering to new investors effective January 10, 2018. However, the Company continues to issue new shares under its distribution reinvestment plan.

On February 7, 2017, the Company’s board of trustees increased the public offering price of the Company’s continuous public offering of common stock from $9.75 per share to $9.80 per share. This increase in the Company’s public offering price became effective as of February 7, 2017. As a result of the increase in the Company’s public offering per share, the Company’s maximum sales load per share and the net proceeds per share correspondingly increased from $0.463 to $0.466 and from $9.29 to $9.33, respectively.

From inception through the suspension of the Company’s Offering on January 10, 2018, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $123.6 million (12.8 million shares) through its Offering, including approximately $3.4 million (0.4 million shares) through its distribution reinvestment plan. Following the suspension of its Offering, the Company has and will continue to issue shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued $1,858 (199,641 shares) through its distribution reinvestment plan. The Company terminated its Offering effective April 30, 2018 as described in Note 6. “Related Party Transactions.”

The Company conducts quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company currently limits the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares it can repurchase with the proceeds it receives from the issuance of shares of its common stock under is distribution reinvestment plan. At the discretion of the Company’s board of trustees, the Company may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the sale of investments as the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. The Company limits repurchases in each quarter to 2.5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The Company’s board of trustees may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program upon 30 days’ notice.

Note 10. Borrowings

On July 14, 2017, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) consisting of loans to be made in dollars and other foreign currencies in an initial aggregate principal amount of $70,000. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on July 14, 2019, and the outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on July 14, 2020. On June 11, 2018, the Company entered into an incremental commitment agreement with ING Capital LLC to increase the total borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $82,000.

Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities. The Company was in compliance with all covenants required by the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the principal amount outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $74,904 and $53,000, respectively. Of the $74,904 principal outstanding as of June 30, 2018, approximately $2,499 and $455 were denominated in Euros and British pound sterling, respectively. There were no borrowings denominated in foreign currencies as of December 31, 2017.

The components of interest expense, average interest rates (i.e., base interest rate in effect plus the spread) and average outstanding balances for the Revolving Credit Facility for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

Note 10. Borrowings (continued)

 

The weighted average effective interest rate and weighted average remaining years to maturity of the Company’s outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2018 were approximately 4.8% and 2.0 years, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, the asset coverage per unit was 2.56. Asset coverage per unit is the ratio of the carrying value of the Company’s total assets available to cover senior securities, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not recorded in the Company’s unaudited condensed statements of assets and liabilities. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

The Company funds its commitments as it receives funding notices from the portfolio companies. At June 30, 2018, the Company’s unfunded commitments have a net fair value of $(128).

On April 30, 2018, the Former Advisors agreed to permanently waive the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Former Advisors approximately $5,400 in expense support payments not previously reimbursed under the Former Expense Support Agreement and approximately $5,000 of organization and offering expenses that they had incurred on the Company’s behalf. As such, as of June 30, 2018, the Company had no contingent obligations to reimburse its Former Advisors for expense support and organization and offering expenses. See Note 6. “Related Party Transactions” for further detail of the agreements with the Former Advisors.

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into guarantees on behalf of portfolio companies. Under these arrangements, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. The Company had no such guarantees outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

The Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management of Joint Advisor has reviewed the Company’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to the Company to be remote.

Note 12. Financial Highlights (continued)

 

(2)

The amount shown at this caption is the balancing figure derived from the other figures in the schedule. The amount shown at this caption for a share outstanding throughout the period may not agree with the change in the aggregate gains and losses in portfolio securities for the period because of the timing of sales of the Company’s shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio.

 

(3)

The per share data for distributions is the actual amount of distributions paid or payable per share of common stock outstanding during the entire period; distributions per share are rounded to the nearest $0.01.

 

(4)

See Note 7. “Distributions” for further information on the source of distributions from other than net investment income and realized gains.

 

(5)

The issuance of common stock may cause an incremental increase in net asset value per share due to the sale of shares at the then prevailing public offering price and the receipt of net proceeds per share by the Company in excess of net asset value per share on each subscription closing date. The per share data was derived by computing (i) the sum of (A) the number of shares issued in connection with subscriptions and/or distribution reinvestment on each share transaction date times (B) the differences between the net proceeds per share and the net asset value per share on each share transaction date, divided by (ii) the total shares outstanding at the end of the period.

 

(6)

The per share impact of the Company’s repurchase of common stock reflects a change in net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

(7)

Total investment return–net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held the Company’s common stock at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions declared during the period. Total investment return–net asset value is based on (i) net asset value per share on the first day of the period, (ii) the net asset value per share on the last day of the period, of (A) one share plus (B) any fractional shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of monthly distributions, and (iii) distributions payable relating to one share, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment return–net asset value calculation assumes that (i) monthly cash distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan and (ii) the fractional shares issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan are issued at the then current public offering price, net of sales load, on each monthly distribution payment date. Since there is no public market for the Company’s shares, terminal market value per share is assumed to be equal to net asset value per share on the last day of the period presented. The Company’s performance changes over time and currently may be different than that shown above. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment performance is presented without regard to sales load that may be incurred by shareholders in the purchase of the Company’s shares of common stock. Total investment return is not annualized.

 

(8)

The computation of average net assets during the period is based on the daily value of net assets and borrowing balances, respectively. Ratios are not annualized.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion is based on the unaudited condensed financial statements as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Amounts as of December 31, 2017 included in the unaudited condensed financial statements have been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as, the audited financial statements, notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2017. Capitalized terms used in this Item 2 have the same meaning as in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements in Item 1 unless otherwise defined herein.

Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

The following information contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “believe” and “expect” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: persistent economic weakness at the global or national level, increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national and global capital market conditions, our ability to obtain or maintain credit lines or credit facilities on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, availability of proceeds from our offering of shares, our ability to identify suitable investments, our ability to close on identified investments, our ability to obtain or maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company and as a business development company, the ability of our investment adviser and their affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals, inaccuracies of our accounting estimates, the ability of our investment adviser to locate suitable borrowers for our loans and the ability of such borrowers to make payments under their respective loans. Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on such statements, which apply only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Overview

We are a non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act (as amended, the “1940 Act”). We commenced operations on March 1, 2016 when we satisfied our minimum offering requirement. Formed as a Delaware statutory trust on August 12, 2014, we were externally managed by CNL Fund Advisors II, LLC (“CNL”) and KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC (“KKR”), (collectively, our “Former Advisor”) through April 8, 2018 under a Former Investment Advisory Agreement and under a Former Administrative Services Agreement (as defined and further described below under “Changes to Advisory Structure and Other Agreements).”

On April 9, 2018, we entered into a new investment advisory agreement (the “Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement”) with FS/KKR Advisor, LLC (the “Joint Advisor”), a newly-formed entity that is jointly operated by KKR and an affiliate of Franklin Square Holdings, L.P. (“FS Investments”). The Joint Advisor

Investment Advisory Agreement replaced the Former Investment Advisory Agreement with KKR and CNL, as further described below under “Changes to Advisory Structure and Other Agreements.” In addition, we entered into a new administrative services agreement with the Joint Advisor (the “Joint Advisor Administrative Services Agreement”), which replaced the Former Administrative Services Agreement between us and CNL, as further described below under “Changes to Advisory Structure and Other Agreements.”

Through April 8, 2018, our Former Advisors were, and commencing April 9, 2018, our Joint Advisor is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments, determining the securities and other assets that we purchase, retain or sell and monitoring our portfolio on an ongoing basis, as well as providing the administrative services necessary for our company to operate. Our Former Advisors were, and our Joint Advisor is, registered as investment advisers with the SEC.

We have elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the “Code”) and operated in a manner as to qualify for tax treatments applicable to RICs.

Changes to Advisory Structure and Other Agreements

On April 9, 2018, we entered into the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement, which replaced the Former Investment Advisory Agreement, dated September 24, 2015, by and between us and our Former Advisors. We pay the Joint Advisor a fee for its services under the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components – a base management fee based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets and an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance. Under the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee calculation is at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets, as compared to the annual rate of 2.00% under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement, the Joint Advisor serves as our sole investment adviser. The terms of the incentive fee are substantially the same as those under the Former Investment Advisory Agreement.

On April 9, 2018, we also entered into the Joint Advisor Administrative Services Agreement, which replaced the Former Advisor Administrative Services Agreement, dated September 24, 2015, by and between us and CNL (one of our Former Advisors). Under the Joint Advisor Administrative Services Agreement, the Joint Advisor serves as our administrator. The terms of the Joint Advisor Administrative Services Agreement, including the services provided by the Joint Advisor and the amount of reimbursements paid by us for certain administrative expenses, are substantially the same as those of the Former Advisor Administrative Services Agreement.

Concurrently with our entry into the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement and the Joint Advisor Administrative Services Agreement, on April 9, 2018, we entered into a new expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with the Joint Advisor (the “Joint Advisor Expense Support Agreement”), which replaced the Fourth Amended and Restated Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, dated January 22, 2018, by and among us and the Former Advisors (the “Former Advisor Expense Support Agreement”). The Joint Advisor Expense Support Agreement is substantially similar to the Former Advisor Expense Support Agreement.

On April 5, 2018, in connection with the transition of investment advisory services to the Joint Advisor and due to the January 10, 2018 suspension of our continuous public offering of our common shares (the “Offering”), our board of trustees approved the termination, effective as of April 30, 2018, of (i) the Amended and Restated Managing Dealer Agreement with an affiliate of CNL that became effective on April 28, 2017, and (ii) our amended and restated distribution and shareholder servicing plan that became effective on April 28, 2017. We will not incur any distribution and shareholder servicing fees subsequent to the April 30, 2018 termination of the plan.

Additional information on the above agreements can be located in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 9, 2018.

On April 30, 2018, our Former Advisors agreed to permanently waive our obligation to reimburse the Former Advisors approximately $5,400 in expense support payments not previously reimbursed under our Former Expense Support Agreement. The reimbursement of these amounts had been subject to certain conditions, as described further below in “Capital Resources and Liquidity—Expense Support and Reimbursement Arrangements with Our Former Advisor.”

On April 30, 2018, we also terminated our Offering. In conjunction therewith, the Former Advisors agreed to permanently waive their rights to receive reimbursement of approximately $5,000 of organization and offering expenses to which they had been entitled to collect from us to the extent we reinstated our offering of our common shares, subject to certain conditions, as described further below inCapital Resources and Liquidity—Expense Support and Reimbursement Arrangements with Our Former Advisor.”

Our Common Stock Offering

In December 2017, in conjunction with approving changes to our advisory structure described above, our board of trustees announced that we would suspend our Offering to new investors and on January 10, 2018, we suspended our Offering. From inception through the suspension of our Offering, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $123.6 million (12.8 million shares) through our Offering, including approximately $3.4 million (0.4 million shares) through our distribution reinvestment plan. Following the suspension of our Offering, we have and will continue to issue shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. From the suspension of our Offering through June 30, 2018, we issued approximately $1.9 million (0.2 million shares) through our distribution reinvestment plan. We formally terminated our Offering effective April 30, 2018, as described above in “Overview—Changes to Advisory Structure and Other Agreements.”

Investment Objective, Investment Program and Primary Investment Types

Our investment objective is to provide our shareholders with current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We pursue our investment objective by investing primarily in the debt of privately owned and thinly traded U.S. companies with a focus on originated transactions sourced through the network of our Joint Advisor. On April 3, 2018, we obtained an amended exemptive order (the “SEC Exemptive Order”) from the SEC extending the co-investment exemptive relief previously granted by the SEC to us in June 2017 to allow us, together with the other business development companies managed by the Joint Advisor, to co-invest in privately negotiated investment transactions with certain other accounts managed by KKR. We define originated transactions as any investment where our investment adviser negotiates the terms of the transaction beyond just the price, which, for example, may include negotiating financial covenants, maturity dates or interest rate terms (the “Directly Originated Transactions”). Additionally, we have the ability to participate in other originated transactions where there may be third parties involved, or a bank acting as an intermediary, for a closely held club, or similar transactions (the “Other Originated Transactions”). We refer to Other Originated Transactions and our Directly Originated Transactions collectively as our “Originated Strategies.” A substantial portion of our portfolio will consist of senior and subordinated debt, which we believe offer potential opportunities for attractive risk-adjusted returns and income generation. Our debt investments may take the form of corporate loans or bonds, may be secured or unsecured and may, in some cases, be accompanied by warrants, options or other forms of equity participation. We may separately purchase common or preferred equity interests in transactions. We may also co-invest with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures or other entities, thereby acquiring jointly controlled or non-controlling interest in certain investments in conjunction with participation by one or more parties in such investment.

Our investment strategy consists of carefully selecting investments through rigorous due diligence and actively managing and monitoring our investment portfolio. When evaluating an investment and the related

Table of Contents

portfolio company, we use the resources of our Joint Advisor to develop an investment thesis and a proprietary view of a potential portfolio company’s intrinsic value. We believe our flexible approach to investing allows us to take advantage of opportunities that offer favorable risk/reward characteristics.

We primarily focus on the following investment types:

 

   

Senior Debt. We invest in senior debt, in which we generally take a security interest in the available assets of the portfolio company, including equity interests in any of its subsidiaries. These investments generally take the form of senior secured first lien loans, senior secured second lien loans or other senior secured debt. In some circumstances, our lien could be subordinated to claims of other creditors.

   

Subordinated Debt. Our subordinated debt investments are generally subordinated to senior debt and are generally unsecured. These investments are generally structured with interest-only payments throughout the life of the security, with the principal due at maturity.

   

Equity Investments. We also make selected equity investments. In addition, when we invest in senior and subordinated debt, we may acquire warrants or options to purchase equity securities or benefit from other types of equity participation. Our goal is ultimately to dispose of these equity securities and realize gains upon our disposition of such interests.

   

Convertible Securities. We may invest in convertible securities, such as bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks or other securities that may be converted into, or exchanged for, a specified amount of common stock of the same or different issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula.

   

Investments in Private Investment Funds. We may invest in, or wholly own, private investment funds, including hedge funds, private equity funds, limited liability companies, REITs, and other business entities. In valuing our investments in private investment funds, we rely primarily on information provided by managers of such funds. Valuations of illiquid securities, such as interests in certain private investment funds, involve various judgments and consideration of factors that may be subjective. There is a risk that inaccurate valuations provided by managers of private investment funds could adversely affect the value of our common stock. We may not be able to withdraw our investment in certain private investment funds promptly after we have made a decision to do so, which may result in a loss to us and adversely affect our investment returns.

   

Asset Based Finance. We may invest in investments that are primarily collateralized by hard assets, financial assets or investments in specialty finance platforms that provide exposure to hard assets or financial assets. Our asset based finance investments may be in the form of debt, equity, derivatives or private placement funds.

   

Derivatives. We may invest in various types of derivatives, including total return swaps, interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts and options.

   

Investments with Third-Parties. We may co-invest with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures or other entities, thereby acquiring jointly-controlled or non-controlling interests in certain investments in conjunction with participation by one or more third parties in such investment. Such joint venture partners or third party managers may include former Joint Advisor personnel or associated persons.

The level of our investment activity can and will vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including: the availability of credit to finance investment transactions, the demand for debt from creditworthy privately owned U.S. companies, the level of merger, acquisition and refinancing activity involving private companies, the general economic environment and the competitive investment environment for the types of investments we intend to make.

As a business development company, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we may not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” as specified in the 1940 Act unless at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets as determined at the end of the prior quarter (with certain limited

 

49


Table of Contents

exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Under the relevant SEC rules, the term “eligible portfolio company” includes all U.S. private companies, U.S. companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, and certain U.S. public companies that have listed their securities on a national securities exchange and have a market capitalization of less than $250 million. These rules also permit us to include as qualifying assets certain follow-on investments in companies that were eligible portfolio companies at the time of initial investment but no longer meet the definition of eligible portfolio company at the time of the follow-on investment.

Revenues

We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest on the debt securities of portfolio companies that we acquire and hold for investment purposes. We expect that our investments in debt securities will generally have an expected maturity of three to ten years, although we have no lower or upper constraint on maturity, and we expect to earn interest at a fixed or floating rate. Interest on our debt securities is generally payable to us quarterly or semi-annually. In some cases, our debt investments may partially defer cash interest payments with payment-in-kind provisions. Any outstanding principal amount of our debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of dividends from equity investments, prepayment fees, amendment fees, origination fees, and fees for providing significant managerial assistance.

Operating Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include an investment advisory fee, administrative expenses, custodian and accounting fees, other third-party professional services and expenses and, depending on our operating results, performance-based incentive fees. The investment advisory fee and performance-based incentive fees compensate our investment advisers for their services in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. As stated above in “Overview—Changes to Advisory Structure and Other Agreements,” in April 2018, we entered into new agreements with the Joint Advisor.

Business Environment

Our focus is on investments in credits that offer an illiquidity premium. We believe originated credits can offer attractive risk-adjusted returns and offer investors an investment option to access these returns with lower market volatility than traditional assets. We believe this has been evident over the first 6 months of 2018 as traditional sub-investment grade credit asset classes sold off due to fears of a global trade war and a more hawkish stance from the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the High Yield (“HY”) index returned just 0.08%. Similarly emerging Markets stress weighted on risk assets with EM debt returning (5.2)% for the year-to-date. Floating rate loans were a more stable asset class and returned 2.2% for the first 6 months of the year.

Our focus is on investments in credits that offer an illiquidity premium (i.e. they may not be traded on an open market and therefore would not be subject to the same technical pressures of more traded assets). We believe originated credits offer attractive risk-adjusted returns today. Our focus is also broadly on floating rate

risk to offset investors’ interest rate concerns. We believe we offer a route for investors to access this risk profile without being subject to the technical pressures of more broadly syndicated or traded assets.

The following tables summarize our investment activity as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

The weighted average annual yield for our debt investments is computed as (i) the sum of (a) the annual interest rate of each accruing debt investment multiplied by its par amount as of the end of the applicable reporting period, plus (b) the annual accretion (amortization) of any discount/(premium), if any, for each accruing debt investment, divided by (ii) the total amortized cost of all accruing debt investments as of the end of the applicable reporting period. The weighted average yield on our investments does not represent the return to our shareholders, because it does not take into account the impact of leverage, fund expenses or any sales load.

Since obtaining co-investment exemptive relief from the SEC in June 2017, we have increased our focus on Originated Strategies as a main element of our investment strategy. Directly Originated Transactions give us the opportunity to participate in those investments alongside KKR’s institutional clients and proprietary funds and starting in April 2018, our amended SEC Exemptive Order allows us to participate together with other business development companies managed by the Joint Advisor. See “Overview—Investment Objective, Investment Program and Primary Investment Types” above for further information regarding our increased focus on Originated Strategies.

The total amount of investments, at cost, includes new issuers during the reporting periods and any follow-on investments from existing issuers.

 

(2)

The weighted average annual yield on debt investments is based on amortized cost as of the end of the applicable period. The weighted average annual yield for our debt investments is computed as (i) the sum of (a) the annual interest rate of each accruing debt investment multiplied by its par amount as of the end of the applicable reporting period, plus (b) the straight line method annual accretion (amortization) of any discount or (premium), if any, for each accruing debt investment, divided by (ii) the total amortized cost of all accruing debt investments as of the end of the applicable reporting period.

 

(3)

The weighted average annual yield of originated debt investments is higher than what our investors will realize because it does not reflect the impact of leverage, fund expenses or any sales load. Total investment return–net asset value was 1.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 2.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. See Note 12. “Financial Highlights” in our unaudited condensed financial statements for information on how such returns were calculated.

The changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio are directly related to (i) the changes in their cost basis as a result of incremental purchases and (ii) the changes in fair value for assets held at the beginning and end of the period. The net change in unrealized depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $1,882. See “Results of Operations—Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation” below for further details relating to the changes.

The weighted average yield for our debt investments is computed as (i) the sum of (a) the annual interest rate of each accruing debt investment multiplied by its par amount as of the end of the applicable reporting period, plus (b) the annual accretion (amortization) of any discount or (premium), if any, for each accruing debt investment, divided by (ii) the total amortized cost of all accruing debt as of the end of the applicable reporting period. The weighted average annual yield on our investments does not represent the return to our shareholders because it does not take into account the impact of leverage, fund expenses or any sales load. For data on investment returns, including the method of calculation, see Note 12. “Financial Highlights” in our unaudited condensed financial statements.

The following table presents a summary of interest rate and maturity statistics for the debt investments, based on par value, in our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

 

Floating interest rate debt investments:   June 30, 2018   December 31, 2017

All of our floating interest rate debt investments have base rate reset frequencies of less than twelve months with the majority resetting at least quarterly. USD three-month LIBOR, the most prevalent index employed among our floating interest rate debt investments, ranged between 1.69% and 2.37%, and 1.00% and 1.30% during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and was 2.34% and 1.69% on June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Base rate resets for floating interest rate investments will only result in interest income increases when the reset base interest rate exceeds the associated interest rate floor.

Our weighted average annual yield on debt investments was 9.3%, as based on amortized cost, as of June 30, 2018, as compared to 8.6% as of December 31, 2017. The weighted average yield on debt investments is higher than what our investors will realize because it does not reflect our expenses or any sales load. Total investment return–net asset value was 1.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 2.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. See Note 12. “Financial Highlights” in our unaudited condensed financial statements for information on how such returns were calculated.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Sources and Uses of Capital

On September 29, 2014, we filed our registration statement with the SEC to register our Offering and on October 9, 2015 we commenced our Offering. On March 16, 2017, the board of trustees approved an amended and restated managing dealer agreement (the “Managing Dealer Agreement”) between us and CNL Securities Corp., an affiliate of CNL (the “Managing Dealer”), and approved an amended and restated distribution and shareholder servicing plan for us (the “Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan”). The Managing Dealer Agreement and the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan became effective on April 28, 2017 and lowered the ongoing distribution and shareholder servicing fee paid to the Managing Dealer from an annualized rate of 1.25% to an annualized rate of 1.00% of our net asset value per share. In connection with the termination of our Offering, we terminated the Managing Dealer Agreement and the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan effective April 30, 2018 as described above in “Overview—Changes to Advisory Structure and Other Agreements.”

As described above in “Overview—Our Common Stock Offering,” our board of trustees suspended our Offering to new investors effective January 10, 2018. On April 30, 2018, we formally terminated our Offering.

Our capital resources and liquidity are primarily derived from (i) cash flows from operations, including sales and repayments, (ii) our distribution reinvestment plan, (iii) expense support payments received from our Former Advisors and effective April 2018 from our new Joint Advisor, (iv) borrowings under our credit facility and (v) prior to the suspension of our Offering on January 10, 2018, from equity capital proceeds from our Offering. Our primary uses of funds include (i) investments in portfolio companies, (ii) distributions to our shareholders, (iii) repurchases under our share repurchase program, (iv) interest payments on borrowings under our credit facility and (v) operating expenses. We expect to use proceeds from the sales and repayments of our investment portfolio and proceeds from borrowings under our credit facility to finance our investment activities at our discretion.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2018, we had approximately $8,443 in cash and foreign currency.

We raised approximately $3,128 and $40,276 (335,711 and 4,318,432 shares of common stock), including dividends reinvested of $1,858 and $1,299 (199,641 and 139,283 shares of common stock) during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Distributions reinvested in the Company as a percentage of total distributions declared and distributions reinvested for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was 50% and 54%, respectively. In addition, proceeds from sales of investments and principal payments totaled $47,332 and $40,000, during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Based on the aggregate principal amount and the collateral in place, we could borrow an additional $7,096 under our Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2018.

From January 2018 through the suspension of our Offering on January 10, 2018, we received additional net proceeds of approximately $1,270 (136,070 shares of common stock) from our Offering. Following the suspension of our Offering, we have and will continue to issue shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. From the suspension of our Offering through June 30, 2018, we had issued approximately $1,858 (199,641 shares of common stock) through our distribution reinvestment plan. During the period from July 1, 2018 to August 9, 2018, we issued an additional $342 (36,963 shares of common stock) pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.

Borrowings

On July 14, 2017, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) consisting of loans to be made in dollars and other foreign currencies in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $70,000. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on July 14, 2019 (the “Revolver Termination Date”) and the outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on July 14, 2020. On June 11, 2018, we entered into an incremental commitment agreement with ING Capital LLC to increase the total borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $82,000.

The Revolving Credit Facility also requires mandatory prepayment of interest and principal upon certain events during the term-out period commencing on the Revolver Termination Date. The stated borrowing rate under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on LIBOR or with respect to borrowings in foreign currencies on a base rate applicable to such currency borrowings plus an applicable spread of 2.75%, or on an “alternate base rate” (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Facility includes an “accordion” feature that allows us, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility to a maximum of $200,000. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, we have made certain representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit

facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we borrowed approximately $41,682 and repaid approximately $19,598 on our Revolving Credit Facility. We have and will continue to use proceeds from borrowings to make investments in portfolio companies.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our total all-in cost of financing, including the amortization of fees and expenses, was 4.9%. We did not have any borrowings outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Share Repurchase Program

Subject to the discretion of our trustees, we intend to conduct tender offers on approximately 10% of our weighted average number of outstanding shares in any 12-month period to allow shareholders to tender shares to us on a quarterly basis at a specific offer price that is determined based upon our net asset value as of the last date of the prior quarter prior to the initiation of each tender offer program. We intend to limit repurchases during any calendar year to the number of shares of common stock we can repurchase with the proceeds we receive under our distribution reinvestment plan. Our share repurchase program includes numerous restrictions that limit your ability to sell your shares.

On May 21, 2018, we offered to purchase 284,984 shares of our issued and outstanding common shares at a purchase price of $9.24 per share. Our board of trustees subsequently approved the purchase of an additional 71,891 shares in connection with the tender offer. On July 2, 2018, we repurchased approximately 356,875 shares (representing 100% of the common shares tendered for repurchase) at $9.24 per share for aggregate consideration totaling $3,298.

Contingencies

See Note 11. “Commitments and Contingencies” in our unaudited condensed financial statements for information on our commitments and contingencies as of June 30, 2018.

Distributions to Shareholders

We currently declare distributions weekly and pay distributions monthly to our shareholders in the form of cash. Shareholders may elect to reinvest their distributions as additional shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan. Dividends are taxable to our shareholders even if they are reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. The following table reflects the cash distributions per share and the total amount of distributions that we have declared on our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

Approximately 50% and 54% of the distributions declared during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were reinvested in shares of our common stock by participants in our distribution reinvestment plan and the reinvested distributions represents an additional source of capital to us. See Note 7. “Distributions” in our unaudited condensed financial statements for additional disclosures on distributions.

Table of Contents

We do not expect to use equity capital to pay distributions to shareholders in the future. We routinely disclose the sources of funds used to pay distributions to our shareholders in periodic reports that accompany (i) quarterly account statements and (ii) monthly distribution checks that are prepared and sent directly by our transfer agent to our shareholders. See Note 7. “Distributions” in our unaudited condensed financial statements for a discussion of the sources of funds used to pay distributions on a GAAP basis for the periods presented.

On July 18, 2018, our board of trustees declared distributions which have been or will be recorded weekly and paid monthly for July through August 2018. Based on our regular weekly cash distribution amount of $0.011250 per share and our distribution reinvestment price of $9.24 as of June 30, 2018, the annualized distribution rate to shareholders as of June 30, 2018 was 6.3%. The annualized distribution rate should not be interpreted to be a measure of our current or future performance. It is anticipated that these distributions, in the aggregate, will be substantially supported by our taxable income and the sources of distributions will be disclosed in our regular financial reports.

Expense Support and Reimbursement Arrangements with Our Former Advisors

The Former Advisors incurred on our behalf organization and offering expenses totaling approximately $5,400 as of March 31, 2018. Under the terms of our Former Advisors Investment Advisory Agreement with our Former Advisors, they were entitled to receive up to 1.5% of gross proceeds raised in our Offering until all organization and offering costs funded by our Former Advisors or their affiliates had been recovered. Offering expenses consisted of costs incurred by our Former Advisors and their affiliates on our behalf for legal, accounting, printing and other offering expenses, including costs associated with technology integration between our systems and those of our participating broker-dealers, permissible due diligence reimbursements, marketing expenses, salaries and direct expenses of our Former Advisors’ employees, employees of their affiliates and others while engaged in registering and marketing the shares, which included development of marketing materials and marketing presentations and training and educational meetings and generally coordinating the marketing process for us. Our Former Advisors were responsible for the payment of our organization and offering expenses to the extent that these expenses exceeded 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the Offering, without recourse against or reimbursement by us.

We terminated our Offering effective April 30, 2018 and in conjunction therewith, the Former Advisors agreed to permanently waive their rights to receive reimbursement of approximately $5,000 of organization and offering expenses that they incurred on our behalf and had not been reimbursed.

We were a party to the Former Advisors Expense Support Agreement with the Former Advisors pursuant to which the Former Advisors jointly and severally agreed to pay to us some or all of our operating expenses (an “Expense Support Payment”) for each month during the Expense Support Payment Period (as defined below) in which our board of trustees declared a distribution to its shareholders. Expense Support Payments were made in accordance with the terms of the Former Advisors Expense Support Agreement. The “Expense Support Payment Period” commenced on March 1, 2016 and terminated effective with the termination of the Former Advisors Expense Support Agreement on April 9, 2018.

As described above in “Overview—Changes to Advisory Structure and Other Agreements,” on April 9, 2018, we entered into a new Joint Advisor Expense Support Agreement with the new Joint Advisor, which replaced the Former Advisors Expense Support Agreement. The Joint Advisor Expense Support Agreement is substantially similar to the Former Advisors Expense Support Agreement. On April 30, 2018, our Former Advisors agreed to permanently waive our obligation to reimburse the Former Advisors approximately $5,400 in Expense Support Payments not previously reimbursed under our Former Advisors Expense Support Agreement.

As of June 30, 2018, our weighted average annual yield on our accruing debt investments was 9.3% based on amortized cost, as defined above in “Portfolio and Investment Activity.” The weighted average annual yield on debt investments is higher than what our investors will realize because it does not reflect our expenses or any sales load. As of June 30, 2018, approximately 73.2% of our debt investments had floating rate interest; therefore, changes in interest rates could have a material impact on our interest income in the future. The increase in interest income was due primarily to the growth of our portfolio of investments. Our fee income consists of transaction-based fees and is non-recurring. The increase in fee income during the six months ended June 30, 2018 is primarily related to capital structuring fees earned on Directly Originated Investments.

See Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” for further information on the impact interest rate changes could have on our results of operations.

Organization and offering expenses

Organization expenses and other operating expenses relating to the formation of the Company were expensed on our statements of operations to the extent they are eligible for reimbursement to the Former Advisors, as described above under “Capital Resources and Liquidity—Expense Support and Reimbursement Arrangements with Our Former Advisors.” Offering expenses were capitalized on our statements of assets and liabilities as deferred offering expenses and expensed to our statements of operations over a 12-month period, however, the deferral period did not exceed 12 months from the date our Former Advisors incurred the offering expenses.

Effective April 30, 2018, we terminated the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan, as described above in “Overview—Changes to Advisory Structure and Other Agreements” and will not incur any distribution and shareholder servicing fees subsequent to April 30, 2018. In addition, effective April 30, 2018, we formally terminated our Offering, which we had suspended effective January 10, 2018, and will not incur any offering expenses going forward.

Approximately 5.4% of our investment portfolio, measured at fair value, is denominated in foreign currencies. Such investments expose our portfolio to the risk that the value of the investments will be affected by changes in exchange rates between the currency in which the investments are denominated and the currency in which the investments are made. Our practice is to minimize these risks in certain cases by employing hedging techniques, including using foreign exchange forward contracts, to reduce exposure to changes in exchange rates when a meaningful amount of capital has been invested in foreign currencies. We do not, however, hedge our currency exposure in all currencies or all investments.

 

63


Table of Contents

The success of our hedging transactions will depend on our ability to correctly predict movements in currencies and interest rates. Therefore, while we may enter into such transactions to seek to reduce currency exchange rate and interest rate risks, unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates or interest rates may result in poorer overall investment performance than if we had not engaged in any such hedging transactions. In addition, the degree of correlation between price movements of the instruments used in a hedging strategy and price movements in the portfolio positions being hedged may vary. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, we may not seek to (or be able to) establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the portfolio holdings being hedged. Any such imperfect correlation may prevent us from achieving the intended hedge and expose us to risk of loss. In addition, it may not be possible to hedge fully or perfectly against currency fluctuations affecting the value of securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies because the value of those securities is likely to fluctuate as a result of factors not related to currency fluctuations.

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from our investments, other than those described above, the risk factors, if any, identified in Part II, Item 1A of this report, and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Net investment income and adjusted net investment income

Our net investment income totaled $2,246 ($0.17 per share) and $3,438 ($0.27 per share) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. We accrue estimated performance-based incentive fees with respect to any net realized and unrealized appreciation in our investment portfolio. The performance-based incentive fees are treated as an operating expense and therefore are a deduction in calculating our net investment income on a GAAP basis. However, our net realized and unrealized appreciation on our investment portfolio that partly determines these fees are not included in net investment income. Therefore, in order to evaluate our net investment income without regard to realized and unrealized appreciation in our investment portfolio, including the impact of related accrued performance-based fees, we have developed a supplemental, non-GAAP measure, which we refer to as “adjusted net investment income,” which presents net investment income before the effects of unearned performance-based incentive fees. Adjusted net investment income is also impacted by the Expense Support Payments and reimbursements.

We believe that adjusted net investment income is useful to assess the sustainability of our distributions and operating performance. Adjusted net investment income is not necessarily indicative of cash flows available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net investment income as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make future distributions to our shareholders. Adjusted net investment income should not be construed as a historic performance measure or as more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net investment income and its applicability in evaluating our operating performance.

Net Assets, Net Asset Value per Share, Annual Investment Return and Total Return Since Inception

Net assets increased approximately $662 and $39,551 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The most significant increase in net assets during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was attributable to capital transactions including net proceeds from the issuance of shares of common stock of $2,288 and $40,276, respectively. Our operations resulted in net assets increasing $2,118 and $1,691 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our overall increase in net assets was partially offset by distributions to shareholders of $3,744 and $2,416 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Our net asset value per share was $9.08 and $9.21 on June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. After considering (i) the overall changes in net asset value per share, (ii) distributions paid of approximately $0.30 and $0.29 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and (iii) the assumed reinvestment of those distributions at 95.25% of the prevailing offering price per share, the total investment return–net asset value was 1.8% and 2.6% (not annualized) for shareholders who held our shares over the entire six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Initial shareholders who subscribed to our initial offering in March 2016 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial purchase price equal to $9.45 per share (public offering price including all sales load and distribution and shareholder servicing fee) have seen the value of their investment grow by 11.25% (see chart below). Initial shareholders who subscribed to the initial offering in March 2016 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial purchase price equal to $9.00 per share (the initial public offering price excluding sales load and distribution and shareholder servicing fee) have registered a total investment return of 19.58% (see chart below). The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, a primary measure of senior debt covering the U.S. leveraged loan market, which currently consists of approximately 1,100 credit facilities throughout numerous industries, and the Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Index, a primary measure of subordinated debt consisting of approximately 2,000 high yield corporate bonds, registered cumulative total returns of approximately 18.47% and 26.75%, respectively, in the period from March 1, 2016 to June 30, 2018.

The calculations for the Growth of $10,000 Initial Investment in the shares of our common stock are based upon (i) an initial investment of $10,000 in our common stock at the beginning of the period at a share price of $9.45 per share (including sales load and distribution and shareholder servicing fees) and $9.00 per share (excluding sales load and distribution and shareholder servicing fees), (ii) assumed reinvestment of monthly distributions in accordance with our distribution reinvestment plan, (iii) the sale of the entire investment position at the net asset value per share on the last day of the period; and (iv) distributions payable, if any, on the last day of the period.

Our shares are illiquid investments for which there is currently not a secondary market. You should not expect to be able to resell your shares regardless of how we perform. If you are able to sell your shares, you will likely receive less than your purchase price. Our net asset value and annualized returns – which are based in part upon determinations of fair value of Level 3 investments by our board of trustees, not active market quotations – are inherently uncertain. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our unaudited condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Note 2. “Significant Accounting Policies” to our unaudited condensed financial statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements. We consider the accounting policies listed below to

 

66


Table of Contents

be critical because they involve management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and (iii) the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ materially from the amounts reported based on these policies.

Valuation of Investments and Unrealized Gain (Loss) — Our investments consist primarily of investments in senior and subordinated debt of private U.S. companies and are presented in our financial statements at fair value. See Note 3. “Investments,” in our unaudited condensed financial statements for more information on our investments. As described more fully in Note 2. “Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 5. “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” in our unaudited condensed financial statements, a valuation hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence available regarding value is used to measure the fair value of our investments. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to our portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board of trustees is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of our portfolio investments in accordance with, and the consistent application of, the valuation policy and procedures approved by the board of trustees, based on, among other things, the input of our Advisors, audit committee and independent third-party valuation firms.

We utilize several valuation techniques that use unobservable inputs and assumptions in determining the fair value of our Level 3 investments. For senior debt, subordinated debt and structured products categorized as Level 3 investments, we initially value the investment at its transaction price and subsequently value using (i) market data for similar instruments (e.g., recent transactions or indicative broker quotes), (ii) comparisons to benchmark derivative indices and/or (iii) valuation models. Valuation models are based on yield analysis and discounted cash flow techniques, where the key inputs are based on relative value analyses and the assignment of risk-adjusted discounted rates derived from the analysis of similar credit investments from similar issuers. In addition, an illiquidity discount is applied where appropriate. The valuation techniques used by us for other types of assets and liabilities that are classified as Level 3 investments are described in Note 2. “Significant Accounting Policies” in our unaudited condensed financial statements. The unobservable inputs and assumptions may differ by asset and in the application of our valuation methodologies. The reported fair value estimates could vary materially if we had chosen to incorporate different unobservable inputs and other assumptions.

We and our board of trustees conduct our fair value determination process on a monthly basis and any other time when a decision regarding the fair value of our portfolio investments is required. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the our portfolio investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been determined had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment that does not have a readily available market value in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the fair value recorded by us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2018.

Contractual Obligations

Joint Advisor Investment Advisory AgreementAs of April 9, 2018 – See “Overview—Changes to Advisory Structure and Other Agreements” for additional information.

Pursuant to the new Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement, the Joint Advisor earns a base management fee equal to an annual rate of 1.50% of our average gross assets and incentive fees based on our performance. The incentive fee is comprised of the following two parts:

 

   

a subordinated incentive fee on income is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 20.0% of the Company’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on average adjusted capital, equal to 1.75% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 7.0%. For purposes of the subordinated incentive fee on income, “adjusted capital” means cumulative proceeds generated from sales of the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest (including proceeds from the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan), net of sales commissions and dealer manager fees, reduced for (i) distributions paid to shareholders that represent return of capital on a tax basis and (ii) amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program. As a result, the Joint Advisor will not earn this incentive fee for any quarter until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter exceeds the hurdle rate of 1.75%. Once the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in any quarter exceeds the hurdle rate, the Joint Advisor is entitled to a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate, until the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such quarter equals 2.1875%, or 8.75% annually, of average adjusted capital. This “catch-up” feature allows the Joint Advisor to recoup the fees foregone as a result of the existence of the hurdle rate. Thereafter, the Joint Advisor will be entitled to receive 20.0% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income.

 

68


Table of Contents
   

an incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement). Under the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement, the fee is equal to 20.0% of the Company’s “incentive fee capital gains” (i.e., the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis), less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fees on capital gains. The Company accrues for the incentive fee on capital gains, which, if earned, is paid annually. The Company accrues for the incentive fee on capital gains based on net realized and unrealized gains; however, under the terms of the Joint Advisor Investment Advisory Agreement, the fee payable to the Joint Advisor is based on realized gains and no such fee is payable with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized. The incentive fee may or may not be taken in whole or in part at the discretion of the Joint Advisor. All or any part of the incentive fee not taken as to any quarter will be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as the Joint Advisor shall determine.

As of June 30, 2018, we had accrued an incentive fee on capital gains of $15. See Note 6. “Related Party Transactions” in our unaudited condensed financial statements and above in “Overview—Changes to Advisory Structure and Other Agreements” for an expanded discussion of the agreements with our Former Advisors until the termination of those agreements and the new agreements entered into with the Joint Advisor on April 9, 2018.

Unfunded Commitments

Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not recorded on our statements of assets and liabilities. Because these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We intend to use cash flow from scheduled and early principal repayments, proceeds from borrowings and proceeds from sales of investments to fund these commitments. As of June 30, 2018, our unfunded commitments were as follows:

We estimate we have sufficient liquidity in the form of cash on hand, borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities, scheduled and early principal repayments and proceeds from sales of investments to fund such unfunded commitments when the need arises.

Related Party Transactions

We have entered into agreements with our Joint Advisor, whereby we agree to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, our Joint Advisor for investment and advisory services and reimbursement of administrative and operating costs. See Note 6. “Related Party Transactions” and “Overview—Changes to Advisory Structure and Other Agreements” in our unaudited condensed financial statements for a discussion of the various related party transactions, agreements and fees.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2. “Significant Accounting Policies” in Item 1. “Financial Statements” for a summary of the impact of any recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, in particular changes in interest rates. Future changes in interest rates will likely have effects on the interest income we earn on our portfolio investments, the fair value of our fixed income investments, the interest rates and interest expense associated with the money we borrow and the fair value of our borrowings.

Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, we may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. Although hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates.

As of June 30, 2018, approximately 73.2% of our portfolio of debt investments, or approximately $134,162 measured at par value, featured floating or variable interest rates. The variable interest rate debt investments usually provide for interest payments based on three-month LIBOR (the base rate) and typically have durations of three months after which the base rates are reset to then prevailing three-month LIBOR. As of June 30, 2018, 91.4% of our portfolio of variable interest rate debt investments, or approximately $122,678 measured at par value, featured minimum base rates, or base rate floors, and the weighted average base rate floor for such investments was 1.0%. Variable interest rate investments that feature a base rate floor generally reset to the then prevailing three-month LIBOR only if the reset base rate exceeds the base rate floor on the applicable interest rate reset date, in which cases we may benefit through an increase in interest income from such interest rate adjustments.

Based on the June 30, 2018 unaudited condensed statement of assets and liabilities, the following table shows the annual impact of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

Table of Contents

The interest rate sensitivity analysis presented above does not consider the potential impact of the changes in fair value of our debt investments and the net asset value of our common stock in the event of sudden increases in interest rates associated with high yield corporate bonds.

Approximately 26.8% of our debt investment portfolio was invested in fixed interest rate, high yield corporate debt investments as of June 30, 2018. Rising market interest rates will most likely lead to fair value declines for high yield corporate bonds and a decline in the net asset value of our common stock, while declining market interest rates will most likely lead to an increase in bond values.

As of June 30, 2018, 67.7% of our debt investments had prices that are generally available from third party pricing services. We consider these debt investments to be liquid since these types of assets are generally broadly syndicated and owned by a wide group of institutional investors, business development companies, mutual funds and other investment funds. Additionally, this group of assets is susceptible to revaluation, or changes in bid-ask values, in response to sudden changes in expected rates of return associated with these investments.

We have computed a duration of approximately 4.4 for this liquid/fixed subset of our total portfolio. This implies that a sudden increase in the market’s expected rate of return of 100 basis points for this subset of our Investment Portfolio may result in a reduction in fair value of approximately 4.4%, all other financial and market factors assuming to remain unchanged. A 4.4% decrease in the valuation of this Investment Portfolio subset equates to a decrease of $2,193, or a 1.9% decline in net assets relative to $9.08 net asset value per share as of June 30, 2018.

Foreign Currency Risk

From time to time, we may make investments that are denominated in a foreign currency that are subject to the effects of exchange rate movements between the foreign currency of each such investment and the U.S. dollar, which may affect future fair values and cash flows, as well as amounts translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements.

The table below presents the effect that a 10% immediate, unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rates (i.e. further strengthening U.S. Dollar) would have on the fair value of investments in our Investment Portfolio denominated in foreign currencies as of June 30, 2018, by foreign currency, all other valuation assumptions remaining constant. In addition, the table below presents the par value of our investments denominated in foreign currencies and the notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts in local currency in place as of June 30, 2018, to hedge against foreign currency risks.

(1) Excludes effect, if any, of any foreign currency hedges.

As illustrated in the table above, we use derivative instruments from time to time, including foreign currency forward contracts, to manage the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we have the ability to borrow in foreign currencies under our Revolving Credit Facility, which provides a natural hedge with regard to changes in exchange rates between the foreign currencies and U.S. dollar and reduces our exposure to foreign exchange rate differences. We are typically a net receiver of these foreign currencies as

related to our international investment positions, and, as a result, our investments denominated in foreign currencies, to the extent not hedged, benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar.

As of June 30, 2018, the contractual notional balance of our foreign currency forward contract was approximately C$5,650, all of which related to hedging of our foreign currency denominated debt investments. As of June 30, 2018, approximately $2,499 and $455 of our outstanding borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility were denominated in Euros and British Pound Sterling, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, our foreign currency transactions and foreign currency translation adjustment recorded in our unaudited condensed statement of operations resulted in net realized and unrealized losses of approximately $331. Our foreign currency forward contract, employed for hedging purposes, generated net unrealized gains of approximately $279 during the six months ended June 30, 2018. We do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held; therefore, the fluctuations related to foreign exchange rate conversion are included with the net realized gain (loss) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. See “Results of Operations—Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation” for additional information on the foreign currency exchange changes.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the relevant SEC rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings – None

Item 1A.   Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in response to Item 1A to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2017, other than as described below:

Investing in our common stock involves a number of significant risks. In addition to the other information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, investors should consider carefully the risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and our additional filings with the SEC before making an investment in our common stock. All of the risk factors identified in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 that relate to our Former Advisors are applicable to the Joint Advisor, our current investment adviser.

Risks Related to our Investment Adviser and Administrator

On April 9, 2018, we entered into a new advisory relationship with the Joint Advisor. Because the Joint Advisor is a newly-formed investment adviser jointly operated by an affiliate of FS Investments and KKR, the Joint Advisor does not have prior experience acting as an investment adviser to a BDC. The 1940 Act and the Code impose numerous constraints on the operations of BDCs that do not apply to other investment vehicles. While both FS Investments and KKR have individually acted as investment advisers to BDCs previously, the Joint Advisor’s lack of experience in managing a portfolio of assets under the constraints of the 1940 Act and the Code may hinder the Joint Advisor’s ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and, as a result, may adversely affect our ability to achieve our investment objectives. FS Investments and KKR’s individual track records and achievements are not necessarily indicative of the future results they will achieve as a joint investment adviser. Accordingly, we can offer no assurance that we will replicate the historical performance of other investment companies with which FS Investments and KKR have been affiliated, and we caution that our investment returns could be lower than the returns achieved by such other companies.

There may be conflicts of interest related to obligations the Joint Advisor’s senior management and investment teams have to our affiliates and to other clients.

The members of the senior management and investment teams of the Joint Advisor serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as we do, or of investment vehicles managed by the same personnel. For example, the Joint Advisor is the investment adviser to FS Investment Corporation, FS Investment Corporation II, FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV and Corporate Capital Trust, Inc., and the officers, managers and other personnel of the Joint Advisor may serve in similar or other capacities for the investment advisers to future investment vehicles affiliated with FS Investments or KKR. In serving in these multiple and other capacities, they may have obligations to other clients or investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in our best interests or in the best interest of our shareholders. Our investment objectives may overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles. For example, we rely on the Joint Advisor to manage our day-to-day activities and to implement our investment strategy. The Joint Advisor and certain of its affiliates are presently, and plan in the future to continue to be, involved with activities which are unrelated to us. As a result of these activities, the Joint Advisor, its employees and certain of its affiliates will have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between us and other activities in which they are or may become involved, including the management of other entities affiliated with FS Investments or KKR. The Joint Advisor and its employees will devote only as much of its or their time to our business as the Joint Advisor and its employees, in their judgment, determine is reasonably required, which may be substantially less than their full time.
