* Gross additions include increases in the cost basis of investments resulting from new portfolio investments, payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, the amortization of unearned income, the exchange of one or more existing securities for one or more new securities and the movement of an existing portfolio company into this category from a different category.
** Gross reductions include decreases in the cost basis of investments resulting from principal collections related to investment repayments or sales, the exchange of one or more new securities and the movement of an existing portfolio company out of this category into a different category.
*** Net unrealized gain (loss) does not include unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on unfunded commitments.
(5) Non-Control/Non-Affiliate investments are generally investments that are neither Control investments nor Affiliate investments.
(6) Control investments are generally defined by the 1940 Act as investments in which more than 25% of the voting securities are owned or where the ability to nominate greater than 50% of the board representation is maintained.

* Gross additions include increases in the cost basis of investments resulting from new portfolio investments, PIK interest, the amortization of unearned income, the exchange of one or more existing securities for one or more new securities and the movement of an existing portfolio company into this category from a different category.
** Gross reductions include decreases in the cost basis of investments resulting from principal collections related to investment repayments or sales, the exchange of one or more new securities and the movement of an existing portfolio company out of this category into a different category.
(7) Principal is net of repayments. Cost represents amortized cost which is net of repayments and adjusted for the amortization of premiums and/or accretion of discounts, as applicable.
(8) Index based floating interest rate is subject to contractual minimum interest rates, or floors.
(9) The investment is not a qualifying asset in an eligible portfolio company under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. A business development company (“BDC”) may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets in eligible portfolio companies unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the BDC’s total assets. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 10.7% of the Company’s total assets were considered non-qualifying.
(10) Investment is classified as a LMM (as defined in the notes to the financial statements) portfolio investment.
(11) Investment is classified as a Private Loan (as defined in the notes to the financial statements) portfolio investment.
(12) Investment or portion of investment is under contract to purchase and met trade date accounting criteria as of March 31, 2020. Settlement occurred or is scheduled to occur after March 31, 2020.
(13) Investment serviced by Main Street Capital Corporation (“Main Street”) pursuant to servicing arrangements with the Company.
(14) Second lien secured debt investment.
(15) Investment is classified as an Other Portfolio (as defined in the notes to the financial statements) investment.
(16) Income producing through dividends or distributions.
(17) Unsecured debt investment.
(18) Investment is on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2020.
(19) Maturity date is under on-going renegotiations with the portfolio company and other lenders, if applicable.
(20) Short term investments represent an investment in a fund that invests in highly liquid investments with average original maturity dates of three months or less.
(21) Effective yield as of March 31, 2020 was approximately 0.01% at US Bank Money Market Account and 2.11% at Fidelity Institutional Money Market Funds.
(22) The 1, 2, 3, and 6-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) were 0.99%, 1.26%, 1.45% and 1.18%, respectively, as of March 31, 2020. The actual LIBOR for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR as of March 31, 2020, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR prior to March 31, 2020. The prime rate was 3.25% as of March 31, 2020.
(23) The Company has entered into an intercreditor agreement that entitles the Company to the "last out" tranche of the first lien secured loans, whereby the "first out" tranche receives priority over the "last out" tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. Therefore, the Company receives a higher interest rate than the contractual stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 7.50% (Floor 1.00%) per the credit agreement and the Condensed Consolidated Schedule of Investments above reflects such higher rate.
(24) [Reserved]
(25) The Company has entered into an intercreditor agreement that entitles the Company to the "first out" tranche of the first lien secured loans, whereby the "first out" tranche receives priority over the "last out" tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. Therefore, the Company receives a lower interest rate than the contractual stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 6.64% (Floor 1.00%) per the credit agreement and the Condensed Consolidated Schedule of Investments above reflects such lower rate.
(26) The fair value of the investment was determined using significant unobservable inputs. See Note 3 — Fair Value Hierarchy for Investments.

See notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement and through representation on the HMS-ORIX Board of Managers, the Company and Orix each had 50% voting control of HMS-ORIX and together agreed on all portfolio and investment decisions as well as all other significant actions for HMS-ORIX. Although the Company owned more than 25% of the voting securities of HMS-ORIX, the Company did not have sole control over significant actions of HMS-ORIX for purposes of the 1940 Act or otherwise. HMS-ORIX was fully liquidated on September 26, 2019.

HMS Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Principal Business and Organization

HMS Income Fund, Inc. (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland corporation on November 28, 2011 under the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company’s primary investment objective is to generate current income through debt and equity investments. A secondary objective of the Company is to generate long-term capital appreciation through equity and equity-related investments including warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire equity securities. The Company’s portfolio strategy is to invest primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities issued by lower middle market (“LMM”) companies, which generally have annual revenues between $10 million and $150 million, and debt securities issued by middle market (“Middle Market”) companies that are generally larger in size than the LMM companies, with annual revenues typically between $10 million and $3 billion. The Company’s LMM and Middle Market portfolio investments generally range in size from $1 million to $15 million. The Company categorizes some of its investments in LMM companies and Middle Market companies as private loan (“Private Loan”) portfolio investments. Private Loan investments, often referred to in the debt markets as “club deals,” are investments, generally in debt instruments, that the Company originates on a collaborative basis with other investment funds. Private Loan investments are typically similar in size, structure, terms and conditions to investments the Company holds in its LMM portfolio and Middle Market portfolio. The Company’s portfolio also includes other portfolio (“Other Portfolio”) investments primarily consisting of investments managed by third parties, which differ from the typical profiles for the Company’s other types of investments.

The Company previously registered for sale up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-178548) which was initially declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 4, 2012 (the “Initial Offering”). The Initial Offering terminated on December 1, 2015. The Company raised approximately $601.2 million under the Initial Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $22.0 million. The Company also registered for sale up to $1,500,000,000 worth of shares of common stock (the “Offering”) pursuant to a new registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-204659), as amended and declared effective by the SEC on May 1, 2017. With the approval of the Company’s board of directors, the Company closed the Offering to new investors effective September 30, 2017. Through March 31, 2020, the Company raised approximately $242.2 million in the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $110.5 million.

HMS Funding I LLC (“HMS Funding”) and HMS Equity Holding, LLC (“HMS Equity Holding”) are both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company that were organized as Delaware limited liability companies. HMS Equity Holding II, Inc. (“HMS Equity Holding II”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that was organized as a Delaware corporation. HMS California Holdings LP (“HMS California Holdings”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that was organized as a Delaware limited partnership. HMS California Holdings GP LLC (“HMS California Holdings GP”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that was organized as a Delaware limited liability company. HMS Funding was created for the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility (as defined below in Note 5 — Borrowings) in order to function as a “Structured Subsidiary,” which is permitted to incur debt outside of the TIAA Credit Facility (as defined below in Note 5 — Borrowings) since it is not a guarantor under the TIAA Credit Facility. Two of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II, have elected to be taxable entities and primarily hold equity investments in certain portfolio companies which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes.

The business of the Company is managed by HMS Adviser LP (the “Adviser”), a Texas limited partnership and affiliate of Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), under an Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement dated May 31, 2012 (as amended, the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Company and the Adviser have retained MSC Adviser I, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Main Street Capital Corporation (“Main Street”), a New York Stock Exchange listed BDC, as the Company’s investment sub-adviser, pursuant to an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), to identify, evaluate, negotiate and structure prospective investments, make investment and portfolio management recommendations for approval by the Adviser, monitor the Company’s investment portfolio and provide certain ongoing administrative services to the Adviser. The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are collectively referred to as the “Advisers,” and each is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Upon the execution of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, Main Street became an affiliate of the Company. The Company’s board of directors most recently reapproved the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on May 23, 2019. The Company engaged Hines Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Adviser, to serve as the Dealer Manager for the Company’s offerings, if any.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Under Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, of the Accounting Standards Codification, as amended (the “ASC 946”), of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), the Company is precluded from consolidating portfolio company investments, including those in which the Company has a controlling interest, unless the portfolio company is a wholly-owned investment company. An exception to this general principle occurs if the Company owns a controlled operating company whose purpose is to provide services to the Company such as an investment adviser or transfer agent. None of the Company’s investments qualifies for this exception. Therefore, the Company’s portfolio company investments, including those in which the Company has a controlling interest, are carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value, as discussed below, with changes to fair value recognized as “Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations until the investment is realized, usually upon exit, resulting in any gain or loss on exit being recognized as a realized gain or loss. However, in the event that any controlled subsidiary exceeds the tests of significance set forth in Rules 3-09 or 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X, the Company will include required financial information for such subsidiary in the notes or as an attachment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated 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.

Amounts as of December 31, 2019 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on March 19, 2020.

Interest, Fee and Dividend Income
 
Interest and dividend income are recorded on the accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Prepayment penalties received by the Company are recorded as income upon receipt. Dividend income is recorded when dividends are declared by the portfolio company or at the point an obligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution. Accrued interest and dividend income are evaluated quarterly for collectability. When a debt security becomes 90 days or more past due and the Company does not expect the debtor to be able to service all of its debt or other obligations, it will generally be placed on non-accrual status and the Company will cease recognizing interest income on that debt security until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due. If there is reasonable doubt that the Company will receive any previously accrued interest, then the interest income will be written off. Additionally, if a debt security has deferred interest payment terms and the Company becomes aware of a deterioration in credit quality, the Company will evaluate the collectability of the deferred interest payment. If it is determined that the deferred interest is unlikely to be collected, the Company will place the security on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on that debt security until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay the contractual amounts due. Payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the collectability of the remaining principal and interest. If a debt security’s status significantly improves with respect to the debtor’s ability to service the debt or other obligations, or if a debt security is fully impaired, sold or written off, it will be removed from non-accrual status.

Interest income from investments in the “equity” class of security of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) funds (typically subordinated notes) is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. The Company monitors the expected cash inflows from its investment in a CLO, including the expected residual payments, and the effective yield is determined and updated periodically.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had 10 debt investments in seven portfolio companies that were on non-accrual status, including eight debt investments in six portfolio companies that were more than 90 days past due. The debt investments on non-

8



accrual status comprised approximately 1.9% of the Company’s total investment portfolio at fair value and 5.2% of the total investment portfolio at cost. Each of these portfolio companies experienced a significant decline in credit quality raising doubt regarding the Company’s ability to collect the principal and interest contractually due. Given the credit deterioration of these portfolio companies, the Company ceased accruing interest income on the non-accrual debt investments and wrote off any previously accrued interest deemed uncollectible.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had eight debt investments in five portfolio companies which were on non-accrual status, including seven debt investments in four portfolio companies that were more than 90 days past due. The debt investments on non-accrual status comprised approximately 1.5% of the Company’s total investment portfolio at fair value and 2.9% of the total investment portfolio at cost. Each of these portfolio companies experienced a significant decline in credit quality after the Company acquired its investments, raising doubt regarding the Company’s ability to collect the principal and interest contractually due. Given the credit deterioration, the Company ceased accruing interest income on the non-accrual debt investments and wrote off any previously accrued interest deemed uncollectible.

From time to time, the Company may hold debt instruments in its investment portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. If these borrowers elect to pay or are obligated to pay interest under the optional PIK provision and, if deemed collectible in management’s judgment, then the interest would be computed at the contractual rate specified in the investment’s credit agreement, recorded as interest income and periodically added to the principal balance of the investment. Thus, the actual collection of this interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. The Company stops accruing PIK interest and writes off any accrued and uncollected interest in arrears when it determines that such PIK interest in arrears is no longer collectible.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held 32 and 26 investments, respectively, which contained a PIK provision. As of March 31, 2020, five of the 32 investments with PIK provisions were on non-accrual status. No PIK interest was recorded on these non-accrual investments during the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, five of the 26 investments with PIK provisions were on non-accrual status. No PIK interest was recorded on these investments during the year ended December 31, 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company capitalized approximately $828,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, of PIK interest income.

The Company may periodically provide services, including structuring and advisory services, to its portfolio companies or other third parties. The income from such services is non-recurring. For services that are separately identifiable and evidence exists to substantiate fair value, income is recognized as earned, which is generally when the investment or other applicable transaction closes. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized approximately $575,000 and $361,000, respectively, of non-recurring fee income received from its portfolio companies or other third parties, which accounted for approximately 2.4% and 1.2%, respectively, of the Company’s total investment income during such period. Fees received in connection with debt financing transactions for services that do not meet these criteria are treated as debt origination fees and are deferred and accreted into interest income over the life of the financing.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820),” which is intended to improve fair value
disclosure requirements by removing disclosures that are not cost-beneficial, clarifying disclosures’ specific requirements, and adding relevant disclosure requirements. The amendments take effect for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference rate reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to certain contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform and became effective upon issuance for all entities. The Company has agreements that have LIBOR as a reference rate with certain portfolio companies and also with certain lenders. Many of these agreements include language for choosing an alternative successor rate if LIBOR reference is no longer considered to be appropriate. Such contract modifications are required to be evaluated in determining whether the modifications result in the establishment of new contracts or the continuation of existing contracts. The Company adopted this amendment in March 2020 and plans to apply the amendments in this update to account for contract modifications due to changes in reference rates, if applicable. The Company does not believe that it will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.


9



From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards and any that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

Note 3 — Fair Value Hierarchy for Investments

Fair Value Hierarchy
 
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
 
Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the observability of the inputs used to determine fair values. Investments carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
 
Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2—Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable for essentially the full term of the investment. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets (for example, thinly traded public companies), pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the investment, and pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the investment.
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Such information may be the result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes for which sufficient observable inputs were not available.

As required by ASC 820, when the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, gains and losses for such investments categorized within the Level 3 table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company conducts reviews of fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain investments.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of debt securities, equity investments and Other Portfolio investments. The fair value determination for these investments primarily consisted of unobservable (Level 3) inputs.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all of the Company’s LMM portfolio investments consisted of illiquid securities issued by private companies. The fair value determination for the LMM portfolio investments primarily consisted of unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s LMM portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s Middle Market portfolio investments consisted primarily of Middle Market investments in secured and unsecured debt investments and independently rated debt investments. The fair value determination for these investments consisted of a combination of (1) observable inputs in non-active markets for which sufficient observable inputs were available to determine the fair value of these investments, (2) observable inputs in non-active markets for which sufficient observable inputs were not available to determine the fair value of these investments and (3) unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s Middle Market portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s Private Loan portfolio investments consisted primarily of debt investments. The fair value determination for Private Loan investments consisted of a combination of observable inputs in non-active markets for which sufficient observable inputs were not available to determine the fair value of these investments and unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s Private Loan portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.


10



As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s Other Portfolio investments consisted primarily of illiquid securities issued by private companies. The Company relies primarily on information provided by managers of private investment funds in valuing these investments and considers whether it is appropriate, in light of all relevant circumstances, to value the Other Portfolio investments at the net asset value (“NAV”) reported by the private investment fund at the time of valuation or to adjust the value to reflect a premium or discount. Additionally, as of March 31, 2020, the Company’s Other Portfolio investments included an investment in subordinated notes of a CLO, which are carried at a fair value determined by taking into account information received from a third-party, independent valuation firm. The fair value determination for the Company’s Other Portfolio investments primarily consisted of unobservable inputs. As a result, all of the Company’s Other Portfolio investments were categorized as Level 3 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The fair value determination of the Level 3 securities required one or more of the following unobservable inputs:

Financial information obtained from each portfolio company, including unaudited statements of operations and balance sheets for the most recent period available as compared to budgeted numbers;
Current and projected financial condition of the portfolio company;
Current and projected ability of the portfolio company to service its debt obligations;
Type and amount of collateral, if any, underlying the investment;
Current financial ratios (e.g., fixed charge coverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, and net debt/earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio) applicable to the investment;
Current liquidity of the investment and related financial ratios (e.g., current ratio and quick ratio);
Pending debt or capital restructuring of the portfolio company;
Projected operating results of the portfolio company;
Current information regarding any offers to purchase the investment;
Current ability of the portfolio company to raise any additional financing as needed;
Changes in the economic environment which may have a material impact on the operating results of the portfolio company;
Internal occurrences that may have an impact (both positive and negative) on the operating performance of the portfolio company, including but not limited to impacts from COVID-19 pandemic and oil price volatility;
Qualitative assessment of key management;
Contractual rights, obligations or restrictions associated with the investment;
Third party pricing for securities with limited observability of inputs determining the pricing; and
Other factors deemed relevant.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s LMM, Middle Market and Private Loan debt investments are (i) risk adjusted discount rates used in the yield-to-maturity valuation technique (described in Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Valuation of Portfolio Investments in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on March 19, 2020) and (ii) the percentage of expected principal recovery.  Increases (decreases) in any of these discount rates in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Increases (decreases) in any of these expected principal recovery percentages in isolation could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s LMM equity securities and Private Loan equity securities, which are generally valued through an average of the discounted cash flow technique and the market comparable/enterprise value technique (unless one of these approaches is not applicable), are (i) EBITDA multiples and (ii) the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”).  Increases (decreases) in EBITDA multiple inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.  Conversely, increases (decreases) in WACC inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.  However, due to the nature of certain investments, fair value measurements may be based on other criteria, such as third-party appraisals of collateral and fair values as determined by independent third parties, which are not presented in the table below.

Note 4 — Investment in HMS-ORIX SLF LLC

On April 4, 2017, the Company and ORIX Funds Corp. (“Orix”) entered into a limited liability company agreement to co-manage HMS-ORIX SLF LLC (“HMS-ORIX”), which invested primarily in broadly-syndicated loans. Pursuant to the terms of the limited liability agreement and through representation on the HMS-ORIX Board of Managers, the Company and Orix each had 50% voting control of HMS-ORIX and together were required to agree on all portfolio and investment decisions as well as all other significant actions for HMS-ORIX. The Company did not have sole control of significant actions of HMS-ORIX and, accordingly, did not consolidate the operations of HMS-ORIX within the consolidated financial statements. The Company and Orix funded an aggregate of $50.0 million of equity to HMS-ORIX, with the Company providing $30.0 million (60% of the equity) and Orix providing $20.0 million (40% of the equity).

On May 8, 2019, HMS-ORIX Holdings I LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of HMS-ORIX, which held all of the investments in broadly-syndicated loans held by HMS-ORIX, was merged (the “HMS-ORIX Holdings Merger”) into Mariner CLO 7, Ltd., an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Mariner CLO”). In connection with the HMS-ORIX Holdings Merger, HMS-ORIX made certain distributions to its members. The Company used the cash proceeds it received from the HMS-ORIX Holdings Merger to purchase an aggregate principal amount of approximately $25.9 million of the “Subordinated Notes” due in 2032 issued by Mariner CLO in connection with an offering of $405.9 million aggregate principal amount of notes

16



(the “CLO Offering”). After distribution to its members of residual cash remaining after the HMS-ORIX Holdings Merger, HMS-ORIX was fully liquidated on September 26, 2019.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $546,000 of dividend income in respect of its investment in HMS-ORIX.

Note 5 — Borrowings
 
A BDC is permitted, under specified conditions, to issue “senior securities,” including borrowing money from banks or other financial institutions, only in amounts such that its asset coverage, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, immediately after each such issuance is at least equal to the percentage set forth in Section 61 of the 1940 Act that is applicable to the BDC at such time. Prior to the enactment of the Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCAA”) in March 2018, the asset coverage requirement applicable to BDCs was 200%. The SBCAA permits a BDC to be subject to an asset coverage requirement of 150% so long as it meets certain disclosure requirements and obtains certain approvals and, in the case of an unlisted BDC, makes an offer to repurchase the shares of its stockholders as of the date of the requisite approval. The reduced asset coverage requirement permits a BDC to have a ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness of 2:1 as compared to a maximum of 1:1 under the 200% asset coverage requirements. Effectiveness of the reduced asset coverage requirements to a BDC requires approval by either (1) a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of such BDC’s board of directors with effectiveness one year after the date of such approval or (2) a majority of the votes cast at a special or annual meeting of such BDC’s stockholders at which a quorum is present, which is effective the day after such stockholder approval. The Company has not requested or obtained any such approval and, as a result, remains subject to the 200% asset coverage requirement.

On March 6, 2017, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “TIAA Credit Facility”) with TIAA, FSB (formerly known as EverBank Commercial Finance, Inc. prior to June 18, 2018) (“TIAA Bank”), as administrative agent, and with TIAA Bank and other financial institutions as lenders. The TIAA Credit Facility, as amended most recently on March 5, 2020, features aggregate revolver commitments of $130.0 million, with an accordion provision allowing increases in aggregate commitments, not to exceed $150.0 million, with lender consent. The revolver commitments terminate on March 6, 2022, and all outstanding advances are payable on March 6, 2023, with two one-year extension options available for both such dates, subject to lender consent. Borrowings under the TIAA Credit Facility bear interest, subject to the Company’s election, on a per annum basis at a rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus 2.60% or (ii) the base rate plus 1.60%. The base rate is defined as the higher of (a) the prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus 0.5% or (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%. As of March 31, 2020, the one-month LIBOR was 0.99%. Additionally, the Company pays an annual unused commitment fee of 0.30% on the unused revolver commitments if more than 50% of the revolver commitments are being used

17



and an annual unused commitment fee of 0.625% on the unused revolver commitments if less than 50% of the revolver commitments are being used. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was not aware of any instances of noncompliance with covenants related to the TIAA Credit Facility.

On May 18, 2015, HMS Funding entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (as amended, the “Deutsche Bank Credit Facility”) among HMS Funding, as borrower, the Company, as equityholder and as servicer, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”), as administrative agent, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (together with Deutsche Bank, the “HMS Funding Lenders”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent and collateral custodian. As of March 31, 2020, the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility provided for a revolving period until November 20, 2020, unless otherwise extended with the consent of the HMS Funding Lenders, with aggregate revolver commitments of $450.0 million and an accordion provision allowing increases in aggregate commitments, not to exceed $550.0 million, with lender consent. Under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, during the revolving period, (i) outstanding advances bore interest on a per annum basis at a rate equal to the sum of one-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 2.35%, (ii) HMS Funding incurred a utilization fee equal to 2.35% of the undrawn amount of the required utilization, which is 75% of the aggregate revolver commitments, (iii) HMS Funding incurred an undrawn fee equal to 0.40% per annum of the difference between the aggregate revolver commitments and the outstanding advances under the facility, provided that the undrawn fee relating to any utilization shortfall will not be payable to the extent that the utilization fee relating to such utilization shortfall is incurred, and (iv) HMS Funding incurred an administrative agent fee of 0.25% per annum of the aggregate revolver commitments. As of March 31, 2020, the one-month LIBOR was 0.99%. The amortization period begins the day after the last day of the revolving period and ends on November 20, 2022, the maturity date. On April 24, 2020, the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, terminate the revolver commitments effective on April 24, 2020 and begin the amortization period. During the amortization period, (i) no further advances or reinvestment of principal collections are permitted, and all monthly interest and principal proceeds from the Company’s investments securing the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility (net of certain fees and expenses) will be applied against the outstanding advances on the facility, (ii) outstanding advances bear interest on a per annum basis at a rate equal to the sum of one-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin of (a) 2.85% if the effective advance rate (as defined in the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility) is greater than 50.0% or (b) 2.60% if the effective advance rate is less than 50.0% and (iii) HMS Funding incurs an administrative agent fee of (a) 0.97% per annum if the effective advance rate is greater than 50.0% or (b) 0.83% per annum if the effective advance rate is less than 50.0%. HMS Funding incurs no undrawn fees or utilization fees during the amortization period. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was not aware of any instances of noncompliance with covenants related to the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had borrowings of $90.0 million outstanding on the TIAA Credit Facility and had borrowings of $313.0 million outstanding on the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, both of which the Company estimated approximated fair value.

A summary of the Company’s significant contractual payment obligations for the repayment of outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2020 is as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Advisers waived reimbursement of internal administrative services expenses of approximately $784,000 and $758,000, respectively. Excluding interest expense, the ratio of total expenses to average net assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was 1.13% and 1.30%, respectively. See Note 10 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements for further discussion of fee waivers provided by the Advisers.

On March 5, 2020, with the authorization of the Company’s board of directors, the Company declared distributions to its stockholders for the period of April 2020 through June 2020. These distributions have been, or will be, calculated based on

19



stockholders of record each day from April 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020 in an amount equal to $0.00191781 per share, per day. Distributions are paid on the first business day following the completion of each month to which they relate.

The Company has adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for its stockholders. As a result, if the Company makes a distribution, its stockholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

The following table reflects the sources of the cash distributions that the Company declared and, in some instances, paid on its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Includes adjustments made to GAAP-basis net investment income to arrive at taxable income available for distributions. See Note 8 — Taxable Income for the sources of the Company’s cash distributions on a tax basis.

The Company may fund its cash distributions from all sources of funds legally available, including stock offering proceeds, if any, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies, and fee waivers from its Advisers. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds that the Company may use from legally available sources to make distributions. The Company expects that for the foreseeable future, a portion of the distributions may be paid from sources other than net realized income from operations, which may include stock offering proceeds, if any, borrowings, and fee waivers from the Advisers. See Note 10 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements — Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement Waivers.

The Company’s distributions may exceed its earnings and, as a result, a portion of the distributions it makes may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The timing and amount of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors. 

Under certain applicable provisions of the Code and the Treasury regulations, distributions payable in cash or in shares of stock at the election of the stockholders are treated as taxable dividends. The Internal Revenue Service has published guidance indicating that this rule will apply even where the total amount of cash that may be distributed is limited to no more than 10% of the total distribution, for distributions declared on or before December 31, 2020, and after that, to no more than 20% of the total distribution. Under this guidance if too many stockholders elect to receive their distributions in cash, the cash available for distribution must be allocated among the stockholders electing to receive cash (with the balance of the distribution paid in stock). If the Company decides to make any distributions consistent with this guidance that are payable in part in its stock, taxable stockholders receiving such dividends will be required to include the full amount of the dividend (whether received in cash, shares of the Company’s stock, or a combination thereof) as ordinary income (or as long-term capital gain to the extent such distribution is properly reported as a capital gain dividend) to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. stockholder may be required to pay tax with respect to such dividends in excess of any cash received. If a U.S. stockholder sells the stock it receives in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the dividend, depending on the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. stockholders, the Company may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in stock.

Note 8 – Taxable Income

The Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC. As a RIC, the Company generally will not incur corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on net ordinary income or capital gains that the Company timely distributes each taxable year as dividends to its stockholders. To qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, the Company must, among other things, satisfy certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, the Company must distribute an amount in each taxable year generally at least equal to 90% of its investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, in order to maintain its ability to be subject to taxation as a RIC. As a part of maintaining its RIC status, undistributed taxable income (subject to a 4% nondeductible, U.S. federal excise tax) pertaining to a given taxable year may be distributed up to 12 months subsequent to the end of that taxable year, provided such distributions are declared prior to the later of eight-and-one-half months after the close of the taxable year in which such taxable income was generated or the extended due date for the timely filing of the tax return related to the tax year in which such taxable income was generated and paid to the shareholders in the 12-month period following the close of such taxable year and not later than the date of the first dividend payment of the same type of dividend made after such declaration. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2018, the Company distributed $20.5 million, or $0.260865 per share, of its taxable income in 2019, prior to filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for its 2018 taxable year. As a result, the Company was subject to a 4% nondeductible, U.S. federal excise tax liability of approximately $765,000. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2019, the Company distributed $17.1 million, or $0.217936 per share, of its taxable income in 2020, prior to filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for its 2019 taxable year. As a result, the Company was subject to a 4% nondeductible, U.S. federal excise tax liability of approximately $635,000.

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes, which provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the Company’s financial statements is the largest benefit or expense that has a greater than

20



50% likelihood of being realized upon its ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. Positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits, if any, in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions and has concluded that there were no material uncertain income tax positions through March 31, 2020. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdiction as the United States, and the Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. Tax returns for the 2016 through 2018 taxable years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

Two of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II, have elected to be taxable entities for U.S. tax purposes. HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II primarily hold equity investments in portfolio companies which are treated as “pass through” entities for U.S. tax purposes. HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and the portfolio investments held by each entity are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as portfolio investments recorded at fair value. HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II are not consolidated with the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities, as a result of its ownership of certain portfolio investments. This income tax expense, or benefit, if any, and the related tax assets and liabilities, are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Listed below is a reconciliation of “Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations” to taxable income and to total distributions declared to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands).

The Company’s taxable income for each period is an estimate and will not be finally determined until the Company files its tax return for each year. Therefore, the final taxable income, and the taxable income earned in each period and carried forward for distribution in the following period, may be different than this estimate.

The income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities generated by HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II, if any, are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized a net income tax (benefit) provision of $76,000 and $58,000, respectively, related to deferred taxes (benefit) of $7.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and other taxes (benefit) of $76,000 and $58,000, respectively, offset by a valuation allowance of $(7.7) million and $(1.1) million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the other taxes (benefit) included $76,000 and $58,000, respectively, related to accruals for state and other taxes.

As of March 31, 2020, the cost basis of the Company’s portfolio investments for tax purposes was $1.0 billion, with such investments having an estimated net unrealized depreciation of $106.5 million, composed of gross unrealized appreciation of $49.1 million and gross unrealized depreciation of $155.6 million. As of December 31, 2019, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $1.0 billion, with such investments having an estimated net unrealized depreciation of $12.5 million, composed of gross unrealized appreciation of $55.3 million and gross unrealized depreciation of $68.5 million.

The net deferred tax assets at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $0, primarily related to loss carryforwards, timing differences in net unrealized depreciation of portfolio investments, and basis differences of portfolio investments held by HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II offset by a valuation allowance. Based on HMS Equity Holding’s and HMS Equity Holding II’s short operating history, management believes it is more likely than not that there will be inadequate profits in HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II against which the deferred tax assets can be offset. Accordingly, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets.

For federal income tax purposes, the net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to December 31, 2017 expire in various taxable years from 2034 through 2037. Any net operating losses generated in 2018 and future periods will have an indefinite carryforward. The net capital loss carryforwards of the Company expire in taxable years 2020 through 2025. The timing and manner in which HMS Equity Holding and HMS Equity Holding II will utilize any net loss carryforwards in such taxable years, or in total, may be limited in the future under the provisions of the Code.

Federal legislation intended to ameliorate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, has been enacted that makes technical corrections to, or modifies on a temporary basis, certain of the provisions of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, to the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of the Company as a result of the CARES Act.
For the years ending December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, the tax characteristics of distributions paid to shareholders were as follows (amounts in thousands):

The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually at the end of the Company’s taxable year based upon the Company’s taxable income for the full taxable year and distributions paid for the full taxable year. Therefore, a determination made on an interim basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of distributions for a full year. If the Company had determined the tax attributes of its distributions taxable year-to-date as of March 31, 2020, 100% would be from its current and accumulated earnings and profits. However, there can be no certainty to stockholders that this determination is representative of what the actual tax attributes of the Company’s anticipated fiscal and taxable years ending December 31, 2020 distributions to stockholders will be. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and stockholders subject to information reporting shortly after the close of each calendar year on Form 1099-DIV.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal tax regulations, which may differ from amounts determined in accordance with GAAP and those differences could be material. These book-to-tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. Reclassifications due to permanent book-to-tax differences, such as the non-deductible excise tax, have no impact on net assets.

Note 10 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements
 
Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee and Expense Reimbursement Waivers
 
The Company and the Advisers entered into conditional income incentive fee waiver agreements (the “2016-2018 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements”), most recently on March 4, 2019, pursuant to which, for a period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018, the Advisers would waive payments in respect of the “subordinated incentive fee on income,” as such term is defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event that, in the Advisers’ sole discretion, causes such waiver to be deemed necessary. The 2016-2018 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements may require the Company to repay base management fees or incentive fees previously waived by the Advisers under certain circumstances and to the extent eligible for repayment.

Previously waived fees are potentially subject to repayment by the Company, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of each respective fee waiver. Thus, in any quarter where a surplus exists and the conditions described below are satisfied, the surplus will be available, subject to approval of the Company’s board of directors, to reimburse waived fees. Reimbursement of previously waived fees will only be permitted if the operating expense ratio is equal to or less than the operating expense ratio at the time the corresponding fees were waived and if the annualized rate of regular cash distributions to stockholders is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of the regular cash distributions at the time the corresponding fees were waived.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred base management fees of approximately $5.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively, and subordinated incentive fees on income of $0.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not incur any capital gains incentive fees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not record an accrual for any previously waived fees. Any future reimbursement of previously waived fees to the Advisers will not be accrued until the reimbursement of the waived fees becomes probable and estimable, which will be upon approval of the Company’s board of directors. To date, none of the previously waived fees has been approved by the Company’s board of directors for reimbursement.

The table below presents the fees waived by the Advisers and the timing of potential reimbursement of waived fees (dollars in thousands). Previously waived fees will only be reimbursed with the approval of the Company’s board of directors and if the “Operating Expense Ratio” (as described in footnote 3 to the table below) is equal to or less than the Company’s operating expense ratio at the time the corresponding fees were waived and if the annualized rate of the Company’s regular cash distributions to stockholders is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of the Company’s regular cash distributions at the time the corresponding fees were waived.

Fees waived pursuant to the 2016-2018 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements.
(2)
Subject to the approval of the Company’s board of directors, in future periods previously waived fees may be paid to the Advisers, if the Company’s cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations exceeds the amount of cumulative distributions paid to stockholders. The previously waived fees are potentially subject to repayment by the Company, if at all, within a period not to exceed three years from the date of each respective fee waiver. To date, none of the previously waived fees have been approved for reimbursement by the Company’s board of directors.
(3)
The “Operating Expense Ratio” is calculated on a quarterly basis as a percentage of average net assets and includes all expenses borne by the Company, except for base management and incentive fees and administrative expenses waived by the Advisers and organizational and offering expenses.
(4)
“Annualized Distribution Rate” equals $0.00191781 per share, per day based on the distributions declared by the Company’s board of directors.
(5)
Prior to March 31, 2017, the Advisers waived total management fees of $2.8 million, total subordinated incentive fees of $3.9 million and total capital gain incentive fees of $8,000. Due to the passage of time, such waived fees are not eligible for repayment under the applicable fee waiver agreements.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Company is required to pay or reimburse the Advisers for administrative services expenses, which include all costs and expenses related to the Company’s day-to-day administration and management not related to advisory services, whether such administrative services were performed by a third party service provider or affiliates of the Advisers (“Internal Administrative Services”). The Advisers do not earn any profit under their provision of administrative services to the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred, and the Advisers waived the reimbursements of, Internal Administrative Services expenses of approximately $784,000 and $758,000, respectively. The Company and the Advisers entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, as amended from time to time, which extends the period for waiver of reimbursement of Internal Administrative Services expenses accrued pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement through June 30, 2020. Since inception, the Advisers waived the reimbursement of total Internal Administrative Services expenses of $16.9 million. Waived Internal Administrative Services expenses are not subject to future reimbursement.

The table below outlines fees incurred and expense reimbursements payable to the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and amounts unpaid as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands).

Offering Costs

In accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Company reimburses the Advisers for any offering costs that are paid on the Company’s behalf, which consist of, among other costs, actual legal, accounting, bona fide out-of-pocket itemized and detailed due diligence costs, printing, filing fees, transfer agent costs, postage, escrow fees, advertising and sales literature and other costs incurred in connection with an offering of the Company including the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Company expects to reimburse the Advisers for such costs incurred on the Company’s behalf on a monthly basis, up to a maximum aggregate amount of 1.5% of the gross stock offering proceeds. The Advisers are responsible for the payment of offering costs to the extent they exceed 1.5% of the aggregate gross stock offering proceeds.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company has reimbursed the Advisers approximately $12.6 million since inception for offering costs. As of March 31, 2020, the Advisers carried a balance of approximately $668,000 for offering costs incurred on the Company’s behalf, net of reimbursement payments from the Company.

Note 11 – Share Repurchase Plan
 
Since inception of the share repurchase program in 2015, the Company has funded the repurchase of $103.0 million in shares of common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company funded $6.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, for shares of common stock tendered for repurchase under the plan approved by the board of directors.

On March 31, 2020, the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved a temporary suspension of the Company’s share repurchase program commencing with the second quarter of 2020. The board of directors determined that it was in the best interest of the Company to suspend the share repurchase program in order to preserve financial flexibility and liquidity given the potential prolonged impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”). Share repurchases for future quarters will be reevaluated by the board of directors based on circumstances and expectations at the time of consideration.

The Company recognized unrealized depreciation of approximately $818,000 on the outstanding unfunded loan commitments and no unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the outstanding unfunded capital commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a total of approximately $46.3 million in outstanding commitments comprising (i) 36 commitments to fund revolving loans that had not been fully drawn or term loans that had not been funded and (ii) five capital commitments that had not been fully called.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The following discussion is based on the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 (unaudited) and December 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Amounts as of December 31, 2019 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the audited consolidated 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 year ended December 31, 2019. Capitalized terms used in this Item 2 have the same meaning as in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 unless otherwise defined in this Report.

We refer to HMS Income Fund, Inc., collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, as the “Company,” and the use of “we,” “our,” “us” or similar pronouns in this Report refers to HMS Income Fund, Inc.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
Some of the statements in this Report constitute forward-looking statements because they relate to future events or our future performance or financial condition. The forward-looking statements contained in this Report may include statements as to:
 
our future operating results;
our business prospects and the prospects of our current and prospective portfolio companies;
the impact of the investments that we expect to make;
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent drop in oil and gas prices;
our expected financings and investments;
the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital;
the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies;
changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets that could result in changes to the value of our assets, including changes from the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic;

our ability to continue to effectively manage our business due to the disruptions caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic;
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
the dependence of our future success on the general economy, including general economic trends, and its impact on the industries in which we invest;

COVID-19 Developments

The rapid spread of COVID-19, and the related effect on the U.S. and world economy, has had adverse consequences on the business operations of some of our portfolio companies and has adversely affected, and threatens to continue to adversely affect, our operations and the operations of our Advisers (including those relating to us). Our Advisers have been monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business and the business of our portfolio companies and have been focused on proactively engaging with our portfolio companies in order to collaborate with the management teams to assess and evaluate the steps each portfolio company can take in response to the impacts of COVID-19.

We cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its duration in the United States and worldwide and the magnitude of the economic impact of the outbreak, including with respect to the travel restrictions, business closures and other quarantine measures imposed on service providers and other individuals by various local, state, and federal governmental authorities, as well as non-U.S. governmental authorities. As such, the extent to which COVID-19 and/or other health pandemics may continue to negatively affect our portfolio companies’ operating results and financial condition, or the duration of any potential business or supply-chain disruption for us, our Advisers and/or our portfolio companies, is uncertain. Depending on the duration and extent of the disruption to the operations of our portfolio companies, we expect that certain portfolio companies, particularly those in at-risk industries such as retail, travel, hospitality and leisure, and oil, gas, and consumable fuels, among others, will experience financial distress and possibly default on their financial obligations to us and their other capital providers. We also expect that some of our portfolio companies may significantly curtail business operations, furlough or lay off employees and terminate service providers, and defer capital expenditures if subjected to prolonged and severe financial distress, which would likely impair their business on a permanent basis. These developments would likely result in a decrease in the value of our investment in any such portfolio company.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the related disruption and financial distress experienced by our portfolio companies have already had adverse material effects on our results of operations, which are described in further detail below, and we expect that such adverse effects will continue for the duration of the pandemic and potentially for some time thereafter. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have already caused a steep decline in leveraged loan market values, which affects the value of many of the loans we hold. In connection with the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may need to restructure our investments in some of our portfolio companies, which could result in reduced interest payments, an increase the amount of PIK interest we receive, or result in permanent impairments on our investments. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above increase the risk that more of our portfolio investments may be placed on non-accrual status in the future. Any decreases in our net investment income would increase the portion of our cash flows dedicated to servicing our existing borrowings under the Credit Facilities and distribution payments to stockholders. If these amounts become unsustainable, we may be required to reduce the amount of our distributions to stockholders and/or convert a portion from cash to stock distributions. 

As of March 31, 2020, we are permitted under the 1940 Act, as a BDC, to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such borrowing. While we are in compliance with our asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act as of March 31, 2020, the TIAA Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants usual and customary for leveraged financings, including maintaining a minimum interest coverage ratio, maintaining a minimum asset coverage ratio, and maintaining a minimum consolidated tangible net worth. Similarly, the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants usual and customary for leveraged financings, including maintaining a positive tangible net worth and limitations on industry concentration. The Credit Facilities contain usual and customary default provisions, including default in payment of interest and principal or a breach of any covenant in the loan agreement or other credit documents and failure to cure such breach within defined periods. If we or HMS Funding fail to satisfy the respective covenants in each of the TIAA Credit Facility and the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility or are unable to cure any event of default or obtain a waiver from the applicable lender, it could result in foreclosure by the lenders under the applicable Credit Facility, which would accelerate our or HMS Funding’s respective repayment obligations under the facilities and thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. See “Item 1A — “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Debt Financing — In addition to regulatory limitations on our ability to raise capital, the Credit Facilities contain various covenants, which, if not complied with, could accelerate our repayment obligations under the Credit Facilities, thereby materially and adversely affecting our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other risk factors contained therein and in our subsequent filings with the SEC, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Neither we nor HMS Funding were in default under either of the Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2020.


28



We are also subject to financial risks, including changes in market interest rates. As of March 31, 2020, approximately $737.5 million (amortized cost) of our debt portfolio investments bore interest at variable rates, which generally are LIBOR-based (or based on an equivalent applicable currency rate), and many of which are subject to certain floors. In addition, each of the Credit Facilities have floating rate interest provisions. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have reduced certain interest rates and LIBOR has decreased. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in LIBOR are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over LIBOR that we earn on any portfolio investments, a decrease in our operating expenses, including with respect to our subordinated incentive fee on income, or a decrease in the interest rate of our floating interest rate liabilities tied to LIBOR. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for an analysis of the impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.

In response to COVID-19, our Sub-Adviser has focused its portfolio investment team’s efforts on proactively engaging with our portfolio companies. More specifically, its efforts are focused on collaborating with the management teams of the Company’s LMM portfolio companies to assess and evaluate the steps each portfolio company can take in response to the impacts of COVID-19, including offering insights and assistance to these companies as they navigate this environment and analyze the numerous government programs which are now available. We will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and guidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our plan of operation. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, we do expect that it will have a material adverse impact on our future net investment income, the fair value of our portfolio investments, and the results of operations and financial condition of our portfolio companies.

OVERVIEW

We are a specialty finance company sponsored by Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”) that makes debt and equity investments in middle market (“Middle Market”) companies, which we define as companies with annual revenues generally between $10 million and $3 billion and in lower middle market (“LMM”) companies, which we define as companies with annual revenues generally between $10 million and $150 million. We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We are, therefore, required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. We have elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Our primary investment objective is to generate current income through debt and equity investments. A secondary objective is to generate long-term capital appreciation through equity and equity-related investments, including warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire equity securities. Our portfolio strategy is to invest primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities issued by LMM companies and Middle Market companies in private placements and negotiated transactions, which are traded in private over-the-counter markets for institutional investors. We will also invest in, and a significant portion of our assets are invested in, customized direct secured and unsecured loans to and equity securities of LMM companies, referred to as LMM securities. Typically, our investments in LMM companies require us to co-invest with Main Street Capital Corporation, a New York Stock Exchange listed BDC (“Main Street”), and/or its affiliates as a result of our sub-advisory relationship described below. We categorize some of our investments in LMM companies and Middle Market companies as private loan (“Private Loan”) portfolio investments. Private Loan investments, often referred to in the debt markets as “club deals,” are investments, generally in debt instruments, that we originate on a collaborative basis with other investment funds. Private Loan investments are typically similar in size, structure, terms and conditions to investments we hold in our LMM portfolio and Middle Market portfolio. Our portfolio also includes other portfolio (“Other Portfolio”) investments primarily consisting of investments managed by third parties, which differ from the typical profiles for our other types of investments.

We previously registered for sale up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-178548) which was initially declared effective by the SEC on June 4, 2012 (the “Initial Offering”). The Initial Offering terminated on December 1, 2015. We raised approximately $601.2 million in the Initial Offering, including proceeds from the dividend reinvestment plan of approximately $22.0 million. We also registered for sale up to $1,500,000,000 worth of shares of common stock (the “Offering”) pursuant to a new registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-204659), as amended. With the approval of our board of directors, we closed the Offering to new investors effective September 30, 2017. Through March 31, 2020, we raised approximately $242.2 million in the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $110.5 million.


29



Our business is managed by the Adviser, an affiliate of Hines, under an Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreement dated May 31, 2012 (as amended the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). We and the Adviser have retained MSC Adviser I, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Main Street, as our investment sub-adviser pursuant to an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) to identify, evaluate, negotiate and structure prospective investments, make investment and portfolio management recommendations for approval by the Adviser, monitor our investment portfolio and provide certain ongoing administrative services to the Adviser. The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are collectively referred to as the “Advisers,” and each is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Upon the execution of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, Main Street became our affiliate. Our board of directors most recently reapproved the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement on May 23, 2019. We have engaged Hines Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Adviser, to serve as the Dealer Manager for our offerings, if any.

As a BDC, we are subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making our investments, including limitations on our ability to co-invest with certain affiliates, including Main Street. However, we received exemptive relief from the SEC, that permits us, subject to certain conditions, to co-invest with Main Street and/or its affiliates in certain transactions originated by Main Street and/or our Advisers. The exemptive relief permits us, and certain of our directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries on one hand, and Main Street, and or/certain of its affiliates on the other hand, to co-invest in the same investment opportunities where such investment may otherwise be prohibited under Section 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act. In addition, we may continue to co-invest with Main Street and/or its affiliates in syndicated deals and secondary loan market purchases in accordance with applicable regulatory guidance or interpretations where price is the only negotiated point.

As of March 31, 2020, we had investments in 36 Middle Market debt investments, 53 Private Loan debt investments, 41 LMM debt investments, 45 LMM equity investments, eight Middle Market equity investments, 20 Private Loan equity investments and eight Other Portfolio investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $894.9 million, a cost basis of approximately $1,001.4 million and a weighted average effective annual yield of approximately 8.3%. The weighted average annual yield was calculated using the effective interest rates for all investments at March 31, 2020, including accretion of original issue discount and amortization of premium to par value, the amortization of fees received in connection with transactions, and assumes zero yield for investments on non-accrual status. Approximately 80.6% and 4.2% of our total portfolio investments (at fair value, excluding our Other Portfolio investments) were secured by first priority liens and second priority liens, respectively, on portfolio company assets with the remainder in unsecured debt investments and equity investments.
 
The level of new portfolio investment activity will fluctuate from period to period based upon our view of the current economic fundamentals, our ability to identify new investment opportunities that meet our investment criteria and our ability to close on the identified transactions. The level of new investment activity and associated interest and fee income will directly impact future investment income. While we intend to grow our investment income over the long-term, our operating results may be more limited during depressed economic periods. However, we intend to appropriately manage our cost structure and liquidity position based on applicable economic conditions and our investment outlook. The level of realized gains or (losses) and unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) will also fluctuate depending upon portfolio activity and the performance of our individual portfolio companies. The changes in realized gains and (losses) and unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) could have a material impact on our operating results.
 
Investment Income
 
We have generated, and plan to continue to generate, investment income primarily in the form of interest on the debt securities that we hold, dividends and other distributions with respect to any equity interests that we hold and capital gains, if any, on our investments. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees, and possibly consulting fees and performance-based fees. All such fees will be generated in connection with our investments and recognized as earned or as additional yield over the life of the debt investment. To date our investment income has been interest income on debt investments, accretion of original issue discounts, dividend income, amortization of premiums and fees received from transactions, net realized gain (loss) on investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.

Expenses
 
On both a short-term and long-term basis, our primary use of funds will be investments in portfolio companies and cash distributions to our stockholders. Our primary operating expenses will be debt service payments, general and administrative expenses, and payment of advisory fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The investment advisory fees paid to our Adviser (and the fees paid by our Adviser to our Sub-Adviser pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement) will compensate our Advisers for their work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments.
 

30



We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions, including fees and expenses relating to:
  
 
corporate and organizational expenses relating to offerings of our common stock, subject to certain limitations;
  
 
the cost of calculating our net asset value (“NAV”), including the cost of any third-party valuation services;
  
 
the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock and other securities;
  
 
fees payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, monitoring our financial and legal affairs, making investments, and valuing investments, including fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of prospective investments;
  
 
interest payable on debt, if any, including any hedging costs;
  
 
investment advisory fees;
  
 
transfer agent and custodial fees;
  
 
fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;
  
 
federal and state registration fees;
  
 
federal, state and local taxes;
  
 
independent directors’ fees and expenses, including travel expenses;
  
 
costs of director and stockholder meetings, proxy statements, stockholders’ reports and notices;
  
 
cost of fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance and other insurance premiums;
  
 
direct costs such as printing of stockholder reports and advertising or sales materials, mailing, long distance telephone, and staff;
  
 
fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the 1940 Act, and other applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations;
  
 
costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and other applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations;
  
 
brokerage commissions for our investments;
  
 
all other expenses incurred by our Advisers in performing their obligations, subject to the limitations included in the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement; and
  
 
all other expenses incurred by us or any administrator in connection with administering our business, including payments under any administration agreement that will be based upon our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by any administrator in performing its obligations under any proposed administration agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs.

During periods of asset growth, we expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable or decline as a percentage of total assets and increase during periods of asset declines.

Base Management Fee, Incentive Fee Waiver Agreements and Administrative Services Expense Reimbursement Waiver Agreements

From time to time, our Advisers may waive certain fees and expense reimbursements accrued under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, as applicable. Under certain circumstances, we may reimburse such waived fees within three years from the date of each respective fee reimbursement waiver. See Note 10 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements — Advisory Agreements and Conditional Fee and Expense Reimbursement Waivers to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information on our fee and expense reimbursement waivers.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Each of our critical accounting policies involves the use of estimates that require management to make assumptions that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments regarding assumptions as to future uncertainties. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A disclosure of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during 2020, except to the extent described below.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of our wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries: HMS Funding I LLC (“HMS Funding”), HMS Equity Holding, LLC (“HMS Equity Holding”), HMS Equity Holding II, Inc. (“HMS Equity Holding II”), HMS California Holdings LP (“HMS California Holdings”) and HMS California Holdings GP LLC (“HMS California Holdings GP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Under Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies of the Accounting Standards Codification, as amended (the “ASC”), of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), we are precluded from consolidating portfolio company investments, including those in which we have a controlling interest, unless the portfolio company is a wholly owned investment company. An exception to this general principle occurs if we own a controlled operating company whose purpose is to provide services to us such as an investment adviser or transfer agent. None of our investments qualify for this exception. Therefore, our portfolio company investments, including those in which we have a controlling interest, are carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value with changes to fair value recognized as “Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations until the investment is realized, usually upon exit, resulting in any gain or loss on exit being recognized as a realized gain or loss. However, in the event that any controlled subsidiary exceeds the tests of significance set forth in Rules 3-09 or 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X, we will include required financial information for such subsidiary in the notes or as an attachment to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT COMPOSITION

Our Middle Market portfolio investments primarily consist of direct or secondary purchases of interest-bearing debt securities in companies that are generally larger in size than the LMM companies included in our LMM portfolio. While our Middle Market debt investments are generally secured by a first priority lien, 9.6% of the fair value of our Middle Market portfolio, as of March 31, 2020, is secured by second priority liens.
 
As of March 31, 2020, our LMM portfolio primarily consists of debt investments secured by a first priority lien (58.2% of the total fair value of the LMM portfolio) on the assets of the portfolio companies and equity investments (41.4% of the total fair value of the LMM portfolio) in privately held LMM companies. The LMM debt investments generally mature between five and seven years from the original investment date. The LMM equity investments represent an equity position or the right to acquire an equity position through warrants.

As of March 31, 2020, our Private Loan portfolio primarily consists of debt investments secured by first and second priority liens (89.5% and 3.6% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio, respectively) on the assets of the portfolio companies, unsecured debt investments (2.9% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio) and equity investments (4.0% of the total fair value of the Private Loan portfolio) in Private Loan companies. The Private Loan debt investments typically have stated terms between three and seven years from the original investment date. The Private Loan equity investments represent an equity position or the right to acquire an equity position through warrants.

Our Other Portfolio investments primarily consist of investments managed by third parties, which differ from the typical profiles for LMM, Middle Market and Private Loan portfolio investments. In the Other Portfolio investments, we may incur indirect fees and expenses in connection with investments managed by third parties, such as investments in other investment companies, private funds or collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”).

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we funded investment purchases of approximately $46.9 million and had one investment under contract to purchase as of March 31, 2020 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.9 million, which settled or was scheduled to settle after March 31, 2020. We also received proceeds from sales and repayments of existing portfolio investments of approximately $86.5 million, including $32.2 million in sales. We had no investments under contract to sell as of March 31, 2020. The combined result of these transactions decreased our portfolio, on a cost basis, by approximately $38.6 million, or 3.7%, and increased the number of portfolio investments by one, or 0.5%, compared to the portfolio as of December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, the largest investment in an individual portfolio company represented approximately 3.4% of our portfolio’s fair value, with remaining investments in any individual portfolio company ranging from 0.0% to 2.3%. The average investment in our portfolio is approximately $4.2 million or 0.5% of our total portfolio as of March 31, 2020. Our portfolio extends across individual portfolio investments, geographic regions, and industries. Further, our total portfolio’s investment composition (excluding our Other Portfolio investments) at fair value comprises 80.6% first lien debt securities and 4.2% second lien debt securities, with the remainder in unsecured debt investments and equity investments. First lien debt securities have priority over subordinated debt owed by the issuer with respect to the collateral pledged as security for the loan. Due to the relative priority of payment of first lien investments, these generally have lower yields than lower priority, less secured investments.


32



During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we made investment purchases of approximately $34.2 million and had one investment under contract to purchase as of March 31, 2019 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.8 million, which settled after March 31, 2019. We also received proceeds from sales and repayments of existing portfolio investments of approximately $39.0 million including $24.9 million in sales and had one investment under contract to sell as of March 31, 2019 for approximately $809,000, which represented the contract sales price.

Based upon our investment rating system, which is described further below, the weighted average rating of our LMM investment portfolio was approximately 2.3 and 2.4 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. See “Portfolio Asset Quality” below for a description of the system used to rate our investments. Lastly, the overall weighted average effective yield on our investment portfolio was 8.3% and 8.7% as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Investment in HMS-ORIX

We previously co-invested in broadly-syndicated loans with Orix through our investment in HMS-ORIX, which was organized as a Delaware limited liability company. On November 20, 2018, HMS-ORIX closed on a $170.0 million credit facility with Citibank, N.A. (the “Refinanced HMS-ORIX Credit Facility”). The proceeds from the Refinanced HMS-ORIX Credit Facility were used to pay off the outstanding balance on the Initial HMS-ORIX Credit Facility, which was subsequently terminated. On May 8, 2019, HMS-ORIX Holdings I LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of HMS-ORIX, which held all of the investments in broadly-syndicated loans held by HMS-ORIX, was merged (the “HMS-ORIX Holdings Merger”) into Mariner CLO 7, Ltd., an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Mariner CLO”). Proceeds from the HMS-ORIX Holdings Merger were used to pay off the Refinanced HMS-ORIX Credit Facility. HMS-ORIX was fully liquidated on September 26, 2019.
 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized approximately $546,000 of dividend income in respect of our investment in HMS-ORIX.

PORTFOLIO ASSET QUALITY
  
As of March 31, 2020, we owned a broad portfolio of 211 investments in 123 companies representing a wide range of industries. We believe that this broad portfolio adds to the structural protection of the portfolio, revenue sources, income, cash flows and dividends. The portfolio included the following:

36 debt investments in 32 Middle Market portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $193.7 million and a cost basis of approximately $259.9 million. The Middle Market debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 7.7%, which is calculated assuming the investments on non-accrual status have a zero yield, and 89.2% of the Middle Market debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Further, 97.9% of the Middle Market debt investments contain variable interest rates, though a majority of the investments with variable rates are subject to contractual minimum base interest rates between 100 and 150 basis points.

53 debt investments in 46 Private Loan portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $414.0 million and a cost basis of approximately $455.3 million. The Private Loan debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 9.5%, which is calculated assuming the investments on non-accrual status have a zero yield, and 93.3% of the Private Loan debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Further, 95.2% of the Private Loan debt investments contain variable interest rates, though a majority of the investments with variable interest rates are subject to contractual minimum base interest rates between 100 and 150 basis points.

41 debt investments in 33 LMM portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $130.3 million and a cost basis of approximately $134.4 million. The LMM debt investments had a weighted average annual effective yield of approximately 11.6%, and 99.4% of the debt investments were secured by first priority liens. Also, 58.1% of the LMM debt investments are fixed rate investments with fixed interest rates between 8.0% and 15.0%. Also, 27 LMM debt investments, representing approximately 41.9% of the LMM debt investments have variable interest rates subject to a contractual minimum base interest rate of 100 basis points.

74 equity investments and seven equity warrant investments in 34 LMM portfolio companies, 12 Private Loan portfolio companies, seven Middle Market portfolio companies and six Other Portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $156.8 million and a cost basis of approximately $151.8 million.

Overall, as of March 31, 2020, our investment portfolio had a weighted average effective yield on our investments of approximately 8.3%, and 76.9% of our total portfolio’s investments (including our Other Portfolio investments) were secured by first priority liens.

As of March 31, 2020, we had 10 investments in seven portfolio companies that were on non-accrual status, which comprised approximately 1.9% of our total investment portfolio at fair value and 5.2% of the total investment portfolio at cost. As of December 31, 2019, we had eight investments in five portfolio companies that were on non-accrual status, which comprised approximately 1.5% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and 2.9% of the total investment portfolio at cost. For those investments in which S&P credit ratings are available, which represents approximately 19.8% of the portfolio as of March 31, 2020, the portfolio had a weighted average effective credit rating of B.

We utilize a rating system developed by our Sub-Adviser to rate the performance of each of our LMM portfolio companies. The investment rating system takes into consideration various factors, including each investment’s expected level of returns, collectability, comparisons to competitors and other industry participants, and the portfolio company’s future outlook.

Investment Rating 1 represents a LMM portfolio company that is performing in a manner which significantly exceeds expectations.
Investment Rating 2 represents a LMM portfolio company that, in general, is performing above expectations.
Investment Rating 3 represents a LMM portfolio company that is generally performing in accordance with expectations. All new LMM portfolio investments receive an initial Investment Rating 3.
Investment Rating 4 represents a LMM portfolio company that is underperforming expectations, requiring increased monitoring and scrutiny by us.
Investment Rating 5 represents a LMM portfolio company that is significantly underperforming, requiring heightened levels of monitoring and scrutiny by us and involves the recognition of significant unrealized depreciation on such investment.

The following table shows the distribution of our LMM portfolio investments on the 1 to 5 investment rating system of our Sub-Adviser at fair value as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS COMPARISONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND MARCH 31, 2019

Total Investment Income, Expenses, Net Assets
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, our total investment income was approximately $24.0 million and $29.2 million, respectively, consisting predominately of interest income and dividend income. The decrease in total investment income was primarily driven by a decrease in interest income of approximately $4.4 million and a decrease in dividend income of approximately $0.9 million. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to (i) a decrease in the weighted average annual effective yield on investments in our portfolio from 9.6% as of March 31, 2019 to 8.3% as of March 31, 2020, (ii) interest income write-offs due to an increase in non-accrual investments in our portfolio, and (iii) a decrease in the aggregate par value of the debt investments in our portfolio.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $575,000 and $361,000, respectively, of non-recurring fee income received from our portfolio companies or other third parties, which accounted for approximately 2.4% and 1.2%, respectively, of our total investment income during such periods.  Such fee income is transaction based and typically consists of prepayment fees, structuring fees, amendment and consent fees and other non-recurring fees. As such, future fee income is generally dependent on new direct origination investments and the occurrence of prepayments and other events at existing portfolio companies resulting in such fees.
 

35



For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, expenses, net of internal administrative services expense waivers, were approximately $11.5 million and $15.3 million, respectively. The decrease in expenses is primarily due to a decrease in the subordinated incentive fee on income of $1.4 million and a decrease in interest expense of approximately $1.9 million. Due to a decline in net investment income, which is the metric on which the subordinated incentive fee on income is calculated, the Advisers did not earn a subordinated incentive fee on income for the three months ended March 31, 2020, while the Advisers earned a subordinated incentive fee on income of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Interest expense was lower for the three months ended March 31, 2020 due to (i) a decrease in the annualized interest rate on our borrowings, from approximately 5.1% as of March 31, 2019 to approximately 3.5% as of March 31, 2020 and (ii) lower average Credit Facilities borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the net decrease in net assets resulting from operations (gross of stockholder distributions declared) was approximately $85.8 million. The decrease was attributable to (i) a net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of approximately $94.9 million and (ii) net realized loss on investments of approximately $3.4 million, offset by net investment income of approximately $12.5 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations (gross of stockholder distributions declared) was approximately $18.8 million. The increase was attributable to (i) net investment income of approximately $13.9 million and (ii) a net change in unrealized appreciation on investments of approximately $12.1 million, offset by net realized loss on investments of approximately $7.1 million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $16.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, which we held in various custodial accounts. In addition, as of March 31, 2020, we had $177.0 million in undrawn commitments under the Credit Facilities, in the aggregate, subject to borrowing base restrictions and asset coverage limitations under the 1940 Act. To seek to enhance our returns, we intend to continue to employ leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of our Adviser, subject to asset coverage restrictions under the 1940 Act. See “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financing Arrangements.

As of March 31, 2020, we had 32 senior secured loan investments and five equity investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $39.0 million. We believe that we maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

We currently generate cash primarily from interest, dividends and fees earned on our investments, principal repayments and proceeds from the sales of our investments and the net proceeds of the issuance of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan.

Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the net proceeds from the issuance of shares of common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan and from sales and pay-downs of existing investments primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, consistent with our BDC election and our election to be taxed as a RIC. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Flows

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.6 million. During that period, approximately $50.9 million of cash was generated from our operating activities, which principally consisted of principal repayments from and sales of investments in portfolio companies of $86.5 million and net realized income (net decrease in net assets resulting from operations less the net change in unrealized depreciation) of $9.1 million, offset by the purchase of new portfolio investments of $46.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, approximately $56.5 million was used in financing activities, which principally consisted of a net $42.0 million decrease in borrowings under the Credit Facilities, $6.1 million used for the redemption of our common stock and $7.8 million in cash distributions paid to stockholders.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.4 million. During that period, approximately $19.4 million of cash was generated from our operating activities, which principally consisted of the principal repayments from and sales of investments in portfolio companies of $39.0 million and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $18.8 million, offset by purchase of new portfolio investments of $34.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, approximately $22.9 million was used in financing activities, which

36



principally consisted of a net $9.0 million decrease in borrowings under the Credit Facilities, $6.6 million in cash used for the redemption of our common stock and $7.2 million in cash distributions paid to stockholders.

Continuous Public Offering
 
With the approval of our board of directors, we closed the Offering to new investors effective September 30, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we raised proceeds of $5.9 million from our distribution reinvestment plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we raised proceeds of $6.4 million from our distribution reinvestment plan.

On March 5, 2020, with the authorization of our board of directors, we declared distributions to our stockholders for the period of April 2020 through June 2020. These distributions have been, or will be, calculated based on stockholders of record each day from April 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020 in an amount equal to $0.00191781 per share, per day. Distributions are paid on the first business day following the completion of each month to which they relate.
 
For the years ending December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, the tax characteristics of distributions paid to stockholders were as follow (amounts in thousands):

The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions is made annually at the end of our taxable year, based upon our taxable income for the full taxable year and distributions paid for the full taxable year. Therefore, a determination made on an interim basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of distributions for a full year. If we had determined the tax attributes of our distributions taxable year-to-date as of March 31, 2020, 100% would be from our current and accumulated earnings and profits. However, there can be no certainty to stockholders that this determination is representative of what the actual tax attributes of our fiscal and taxable years ending December 31, 2020 distributions to stockholders will be. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and stockholders subject to information reporting after the close of each calendar year on Form 1099-DIV.

We have adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for our stockholders. As a result, if we make a distribution, our stockholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock.
 
We may fund our cash distributions from any sources of funds legally available, including stock offering proceeds, if any, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and fee waivers from our Advisers. We have not established limits on the amount of funds that we may use from legally available sources to make distributions. Our distributions may exceed our earnings. As a result, a portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
The timing, amount and nature (cash or stock distributions) of any future distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors.
 
In order to satisfy the Code’s requirements applicable to entities subject to tax as RICs, we are required to distribute substantially all of our taxable income to our stockholders on an annual basis. However, we may elect to spill over certain excess undistributed

37



taxable income from one taxable year into the next taxable year, which may require us to incur a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on such excess undistributed taxable income. In order to avoid the imposition of the 4% nondeductible excise tax, we need to distribute, in respect of each calendar year dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain in excess of capital loss, or capital gain net income, adjusted for certain ordinary losses, generally for the one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year (or, if we so elect, for the calendar year) and (3) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for the preceding calendar years that was not distributed during such calendar years and on which we incurred no U.S. federal income tax.

Financing Arrangements

We anticipate that we will continue to fund our investment activities through existing cash, capital raised from our stock offerings, if any, proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan and borrowings on the Credit Facilities. However, with the approval of our board of directors, we closed the Offering to new investors effective September 30, 2017. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, our primary uses of funds in the short-term are expected to be to fund draws on unfunded commitments on existing investments in portfolio companies, operating expenses and cash distributions to holders of our common stock.
 
As of March 31, 2020, we had $90.0 million outstanding and $40.0 million of undrawn commitments under our TIAA Credit Facility, and $313.0 million outstanding and $137.0 million of undrawn commitments under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, both of which we estimated approximated fair value. Effective April 24, 2020, HMS Funding amended the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility to, among other things, terminate the facility’s revolver commitments and begin the amortization period of the facility. During such amortization period, no further advances or reinvestment of principal proceeds are permitted and all interest and principal proceeds received from the investments securing the facility (net of certain fees and expenses) will be applied against the outstanding advances on the facility. Availability under each of the Credit Facilities is subject to certain borrowing base limitations and the asset coverage restrictions under the 1940 Act. For further information on our Credit Facilities, including key terms and financial covenants, refer to Note 6 — Borrowings to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as well as Note 5 — Borrowings to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.
 
As a BDC, we are permitted, under specified conditions, to issue “senior securities,” including borrowing money from banks or other financial institutions, only in amounts such that our asset coverage, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, immediately after each such issuance is at least equal to the percentage set forth in Section 61 of the 1940 Act that is applicable to us at such time. Prior to the enactment of the SBCAA in March 2018, the asset coverage requirement applicable to BDCs was 200%. The SBCAA permits a BDC to be subject to an asset coverage requirement of 150% so long as it meets certain disclosure requirements and obtains certain approvals and, in the case of an unlisted BDC, makes an offer to repurchase the shares of its stockholders as of the date of the requisite approval. The reduced asset coverage requirement permits a BDC to have a ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness of 2:1 as compared to a maximum of 1:1 under the 200% asset coverage requirement. Effectiveness of the reduced asset coverage requirements to a BDC requires approval by either (1) a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of such BDC’s board of directors with effectiveness one year after the date of such approval or (2) a majority of the votes cast at a special or annual meeting of such BDC’s stockholders at which a quorum is present, which is effective the day after such stockholder approval. We have not requested or obtained either such approval. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our asset coverage ratio under BDC regulations was 226% and 237%, respectively.

Although in the past we have been able to secure access to potential additional liquidity, through proceeds from the Offering and also by entering into the Credit Facilities, there is no assurance that equity or debt capital will be available to us in the future on favorable terms, or at all.

Related Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with our Adviser, our Sub-Adviser and our Dealer Manager, whereby we pay certain fees and reimbursements to these entities. These included payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions and the Dealer Manager fee and include payments to our Adviser for reimbursement of offering costs. In addition, we make payments for certain services that include the identification, execution, and management of our investments and also the management of our day-to-day operations provided to us by our Adviser and Sub-Adviser, pursuant to various agreements that we have entered into. See Note 10 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information regarding related party transactions.

 Contractual Obligations
 
As of March 31, 2020, we had $403.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facilities. Our TIAA Credit Facility will mature March 6, 2023, with two one-year extension options, subject to lender approval, and the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility will mature on November 20, 2022. See Note 5 — Borrowings to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for a description of the Credit Facilities.

At March 31, 2020, we had $40.0 million of undrawn revolver commitments under our TIAA Credit Facility; however, our borrowing ability is limited by borrowing base restrictions and asset coverage restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act, as discussed above.
(2)
At March 31, 2020, HMS Funding had $137.0 million of undrawn revolver commitments under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility; however, our borrowing ability was limited by borrowing base restrictions and asset coverage restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act, as discussed above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of March 31, 2020, we had a total of approximately $39.0 million in outstanding commitments comprised of (i) 32 commitments to fund revolving loans that had not been fully drawn or term loans that had not been funded and (ii) five capital commitments that had not been fully called. We recognized unrealized depreciation of approximately $818,000 on our outstanding unfunded loan commitments and no unrealized appreciation or depreciation on our outstanding unfunded capital commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2020. We reasonably believe that we maintain sufficient assets and available borrowings to adequately cover and allow us to satisfy our outstanding unfunded commitments should the need arise. As of December 31, 2019, we had a total of approximately $46.3 million in outstanding commitments comprised of (i) 36 commitments to fund revolving loans that had not been fully drawn or term loans that had not been funded and (ii) five capital commitments that had not been fully called. We recognized unrealized appreciation of approximately $323,000 on our outstanding unfunded loan commitments and no unrealized appreciation or depreciation on our outstanding unfunded capital commitments during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Recent Developments and Subsequent Events
 
On April 24, 2020, HMS Funding entered into an amendment to the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility. As of April 24, 2020, the revolving period of the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility terminated, and the amortization period began. During such amortization period, no further advances or reinvestment of principal collections are permitted, and all monthly interest and principal proceeds from our investments securing the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility (net of certain fees and expenses) will be applied against the outstanding advances on the facility.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
We are subject to financial market risks, in particular changes in interest rates and market risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates may affect our interest income from portfolio investments, the fair value of our fixed income investments, and our cost of funding.
 
Our interest income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates, to the extent any of our debt investments include floating interest rates. We generally invest in floating rate debt instruments, meaning that the interest rate payable on such instrument resets periodically based upon changes in a specified interest rate index, typically the one-month or three-month LIBOR. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 86.8% of our LMM, Private Loan, and Middle Market portfolio debt investments (based on cost) contained floating interest rates. As of March 31, 2020, the one-month LIBOR was approximately 0.99% and the three-month LIBOR was approximately 1.45%. Many of our investments provide that the specified interest rate index on such instruments will never fall below a level, or floor, generally between 100 and 150 basis points regardless of the level of the specified index rate, which minimizes the negative impact to our interest income that would result from a decline in index rates.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a decrease in LIBOR and a general reduction of certain interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks. A continued decline in interest rates, including LIBOR, could result in a reduction of our gross investment income. In addition, our net investment income could also decline if such decreases in LIBOR are not offset by, among other things, a corresponding increase in the spread over LIBOR in our portfolio investments, a decrease in our operating expenses, or a decrease in the interest rates of our liabilities that are tied to LIBOR. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — COVID-19 Developments.”

In addition, any fluctuations in prevailing interest rates may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt instruments and result in changes in unrealized gains and losses, and may also affect a net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations. Such changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation will materialize into realized gains and losses if we sell our investments before their respective debt maturity dates.

Further, because we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income is partially dependent upon the difference between the interest rate at which we invest borrowed funds and the interest rate at which we borrow funds. In periods of rising interest rates and when we have borrowed capital with floating interest rates, our interest expense will increase, which will increase our financing costs and reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed-rate debt investments. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.
 
The following table shows the approximate annualized increase or decrease (dollars in thousands) in the components of net investment income due to hypothetical interest rate index changes, assuming no changes in our investments and borrowings as of March 31, 2020.

Although we believe that this analysis is indicative of our existing sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for changes in the credit market, credit quality, the size and composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business developments, including borrowing under the Credit Facilities or other borrowings, that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net income. Accordingly, we can offer no assurances that actual results would not differ materially from the analysis above.


41



If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of March 31, 2020, we had not entered into any interest rate hedging arrangements.
 
Market Risk

The market value of a security may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than the price originally paid for it, or less than it was worth at an earlier time. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the market as a whole. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the probabilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region. Conditions affecting the general economy, including political, social, or economic instability at the local, regional, or global level may also affect the market value of a security. Health crises, such as pandemic and epidemic diseases, as well as other incidents that interrupt the expected course of events, such as natural disasters, war or civil disturbance, acts of terrorism, power outages and other unforeseeable and external events, and the public response to or fear of such diseases or events, have and may in the future have an adverse effect on a company’s investments and net asset value and can lead to increased market volatility. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — COVID-19 Developments.”

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.
 
In accordance with the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2020 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting to date as a result of the majority of the employees of our Advisers working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our internal control over financial reporting to seek to minimize any impact to their operating effectiveness.

No change occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act), during the three months ended March 31, 2020 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.
 
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
In addition to the risk factors set forth below and the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

We are operating in a period of capital markets disruption and economic uncertainty. These conditions have affected and any future disruptions or instability in capital markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time, the global capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability, which could materially and adversely impact the broader financial and credit markets and reduce the availability to us of debt and equity capital. The outbreak of COVID-19 (also referred to as the “coronavirus”) beginning in late 2019 and subsequently spreading across the world, including to the United States, has had and could continue to lead to extreme volatility and disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies affected thereby. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected and will continue to affect the portfolio companies in which we invest. The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in, and until fully resolved is likely to continue to result in, the following among other things: (i) imposition by various local, state, and federal governmental authorities of various forms of travel restrictions, business closures and other quarantine measures, resulting in significant disruption to the businesses of many LMM and Middle Market portfolio companies including supply chains, demand and practical aspects of their operations, as well as in lay-offs or furloughs of employees and deferral of capital expenditures, and, while these effects are hoped to be temporary, some effects could be persistent or even permanent; (ii) increased draws by borrowers on revolving lines of credit; (iii) increased requests by borrowers for amendments and waivers of their credit agreements to avoid default, increased defaults by such borrowers and/or increased difficulty in obtaining refinancing at the maturity dates of their loans; (iv) volatility and disruption of markets including greater volatility in pricing and spreads, difficulty in valuing loans during periods of increased volatility, and liquidity issues; (v) reduction in certain interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks and decreased LIBOR; (vi) unfavorable economic conditions that would be expected to increase borrowers’ funding costs, limit borrowers’ access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to borrowers; and (vii) rapidly evolving proposals and/or actions by local, state and federal governments to address problems being experienced by the markets and by businesses and the economy in general which will not necessarily adequately address the problems facing the loan market and LMM and Middle Market businesses.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the related disruption and financial distress experienced by our portfolio companies have had a material adverse effect on our investment income, particularly our interest income, received from our investments, and we expect that such adverse effects will continue for the duration of the pandemic and potentially for some time thereafter. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have caused a steep decline in leveraged loan market values, which affects the value of many of the loans we hold. In connection with the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may need to restructure our investments in some of our portfolio companies, which could result in reduced interest payments, an increase the amount of PIK interest we receive, or permanent impairments on our investments. In addition, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic increase the risk that more of our portfolio investments may be placed on non-accrual status in the future. Any decreases in our net investment income would increase the portion of our cash flows dedicated to servicing our existing borrowings under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility and the TIAA Credit Facility (combined, the “Credit Facilities”) and distribution payments to stockholders. If these amounts become unsustainable, we may be required to reduce the amount of our distributions to stockholders.

Such capital markets disruptions and instability have also occurred in the past and may occur in the future. For example, between 2008 and 2009, instability in the global capital markets resulted in disruptions in liquidity in the debt capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial services sector, the repricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated credit market and the failure of major domestic and international financial institutions. In particular, the financial services sector was negatively impacted by significant write-offs as the value of the assets held by financial firms declined, impairing their capital positions and abilities to lend and invest. The full implications of the decision by the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Union are unclear

44



at present. In addition, U.S. government shutdowns, including the partial government shutdown that ended in January 2019, may cause disruptions or instability in capital markets, and the implications of policies that may be enacted from time to time on capital markets may not be clear at the time of proposal or enactment. Furthermore, uncertainty between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, treaties and tariffs, among other factors, have caused disruptions in the global markets, including markets in which we participate, and we cannot assure you that these market conditions will continue or worsen in the future.

Terrorist acts, acts of war, natural disasters, or disease outbreaks, pandemics or other public health crises may cause periods of market instability and volatility and may disrupt the operations of us and our portfolio companies for extended periods of time. Such events or other similar events may cause significantly diminished overall confidence in the debt and equity markets, declines in the values of certain assets, economic uncertainty and reduced availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole and financial services firms in particular. There can be no assurance that adverse market conditions will not repeat themselves in the future.

Volatility and dislocation in the capital markets could create a challenging environment in which to raise or access capital, including, for example, by making it difficult to extend the maturity of or refinance our existing indebtedness or obtain new indebtedness with similar terms. Significant changes or volatility in the capital markets may also have a negative effect on the valuations of our investments. While most of our investments are not publicly traded, applicable accounting standards require us to assume as part of our valuation process that our investments are sold in a principal market to market participants (even if we plan on holding an investment through its maturity) and impairments of the market values or FMV of our investments, even if unrealized, must be reflected in our financial statements for the applicable period, which could result in significant reductions to our NAV for such period. As a BDC, we are generally not able to issue additional shares of our common stock at a price less than our NAV without first obtaining approval for such issuance from our stockholders and our independent directors. Significant changes in the capital markets may also affect the pace of our investment activity and the potential for liquidity events involving our investments. Thus, the illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell investments to access capital if required, and as a result, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded then.

Events outside of our control, including public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may negatively affect our portfolio companies and the results of our operations.

Periods of market volatility have occurred and may continue to occur in response to pandemics or other events outside of our control. These types of events have adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect our and our portfolio companies' operating results. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 that began in late 2019 has resulted in restrictions on travel and the temporary closure of many corporate offices, retail stores, and manufacturing facilities and factories in affected jurisdictions, including the United States. In addition to these developments having adverse consequences for us and our portfolio companies, the operations of our Advisers (including those relating to us) could be adversely impacted, including through quarantine measures and travel restrictions imposed on their personnel or service providers based or temporarily located in affected countries, or any related health issues of such personnel or service providers. As the potential impact of COVID-19 is difficult to predict, the extent to which COVID-19 and/or other health pandemics may continue to negatively affect our and our portfolio companies' operating results and financial condition, or the duration of any potential business or supply-chain disruption for us, our Advisers and/or our portfolio companies, is uncertain. Any potential impact to our results will depend to a large extent on future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken by authorities and other entities to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, all of which are beyond our control. These potential impacts, while uncertain, could adversely affect our and our portfolio companies' operating results.

Our share repurchase program allows us to repurchase our stockholders’ shares on a quarterly basis, subject to certain restrictions and limitations. As a result, our stockholders will have limited opportunities to sell their shares and, to the extent they are able to sell their shares under the program, our stockholders may not be able to recover the amount of their investment in our shares.
 
We have adopted a share repurchase program that allows us to repurchase during any calendar quarter shares of common stock in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares we can repurchase with the proceeds we received from the issuance of shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan during the prior calendar quarter or (ii) 2.5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in the prior four calendar quarters. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time, and, in light of the current uncertainty surrounding the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets and our portfolio specifically, on March 31, 2020, our board of directors unanimously approved a temporary suspension of the share repurchase program commencing with the second quarter of 2020.


45



Our share repurchase program allows stockholders to sell back their shares of common stock to us on a quarterly basis at a price equal to the NAV per share, as determined within 48 hours of the repurchase date. The share repurchase program includes numerous restrictions that limit the ability to sell shares. At the discretion of our board of directors, we may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the sale of our investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. If the board of directors determines to re-implement our share repurchase program, to the extent that the number of shares put to us for repurchase exceeds the number of shares that we are able to purchase, we will repurchase shares on a pro rata basis, subject to limited exceptions, not on a first-come, first-served basis. Further, we will have no obligation to repurchase shares if the repurchase would violate the restrictions on distributions under federal law or Maryland law, which prohibit distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. These limits may prevent us from accommodating all repurchase requests made in any year. In addition, our board of directors may suspend or terminate the share repurchase program and therefore should not be relied upon as a method to sell shares promptly and at a desired price.

We may have limited ability to fund new investments if we are unable to expand, extend or refinance our TIAA Credit Facility or the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility (combined, the “Credit Facilities”).

On March 6, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement, (as amended, the “TIAA Credit Facility”) with TIAA, FSB (formerly known as EverBank Commercial Finance, Inc. prior to June 18, 2018) (“TIAA Bank”), as administrative agent and with TIAA Bank and other financial institutions as lenders. As of March 31, 2020, the TIAA Credit Facility features aggregate revolver commitments of $130.0 million, with an accordion provision allowing increases in aggregate commitments, not to exceed $150.0 million, with lender consent. The revolver commitments terminate on March 6, 2022, and all outstanding advances are payable on March 6, 2023, with two one-year extension options available for both such dates, subject to administrative agent and lender approval.

On May 18, 2015, HMS Funding entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (as amended, the “Deutsche Bank Credit Facility”) among HMS Funding, as borrower, the Company, as equityholder and servicer, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”), as administrative agent, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (together with Deutsche Bank, the “HMS Funding Lenders”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent and collateral custodian. Borrowings under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility are subject to certain limitations, including limitations with respect to HMS Funding’s investments, as more fully described in the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2020, the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility featured aggregate revolver commitments of $450.0 million. On April 24, 2020, the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, terminate the revolver commitments on April 24, 2020 and begin the amortization period. During the amortization period, no further advances or reinvestment of principal collections are permitted, and all monthly interest and principal proceeds from the Company's investments securing the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility (net of certain fees and expenses) will be applied against the outstanding advances on the facility.

There can be no guarantee that we will be able to expand or extend the TIAA Credit Facility or replace either of the Credit Facilities, in each case, on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Our ability to expand the TIAA Credit Facility, and to obtain replacement financing of either of the Credit Facilities at the time of maturity, will be constrained by then-current economic conditions affecting the credit markets.

As a BDC, we are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings and other senior securities, which include all of our borrowings and any preferred stock that we may issue in the future, of at least 200% (or 150% upon receipt of certain approvals and an offer by us to repurchase shares, subject to certain disclosure requirements). Stated differently, the amount of our total borrowings and other senior securities as a percentage of our total assets cannot exceed 50%. If this ratio declines below 200% (or 150% upon receipt of certain approvals and an offer by us to repurchase shares, subject to certain disclosure requirements), we cannot incur additional debt and could be required to sell a portion of our investments to repay some debt when it is disadvantageous to do so.
