Crescent Capital BDC Inc

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

September 30, 2024 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Crescent Capital BDC, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on February 5, 2015 as a Delaware corporation structured as an externally managed, closed-end management investment company. The Company commenced investment operations on June 26, 2015. On January 30, 2020, the Company changed its state of incorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Maryland. The Company was listed and began trading on the NASDAQ stock exchange on February 3, 2020. The Company has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and currently operates as a diversified investment company. In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). As a RIC, the Company will not be taxed on its income to the extent that it distributes such income each year and satisfies other applicable income tax requirements.

The Company’s investment objective is to maximize the total return to its stockholders in the form of current income and capital appreciation through debt and related equity investments. The Company invests primarily in secured debt (including first lien, unitranche first lien and second lien debt) and unsecured debt (including mezzanine and subordinated debt), as well as related equity securities of private U.S. middle-market companies. Although the Company’s focus is to invest in private credit transactions, in certain circumstances it may also invest in broadly syndicated loans and bonds.

The Company is managed by Crescent Cap Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), an investment adviser that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. CCAP Administration LLC (the “Administrator”) provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate. Company management consists of investment and administrative professionals from the Adviser and Administrator, along with the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Adviser directs and executes the investment operations and capital raising activities of the Company subject to oversight from the Board, which sets the broad policies of the Company. The Board has delegated investment management of the Company’s portfolio assets to the Adviser. The Board consists of six directors, five of whom are independent.

From time to time, the Company may form wholly owned subsidiaries to facilitate the normal course of business if the Adviser determines that for legal, tax, regulatory, accounting or other similar reasons it is in the best interest of the Company to do so. The Company has formed or acquired wholly owned subsidiaries that are structured as tax blockers, to hold equity or equity-like investments in portfolio companies organized as limited liability companies or other forms of pass-through entities. These corporate subsidiaries are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may incur income tax expenses as a result of its ownership of portfolio companies. The Company has also formed a special purpose vehicle that holds certain debt investments in connection with a credit facility.

On January 5, 2021, Sun Life Financial Inc. (together with its subsidiaries and joint ventures, “Sun Life”) acquired a majority interest in Crescent Capital Group LP (“Crescent”), the majority member of the Adviser (the “Sun Life Transaction”). Consummation of the Sun Life Transaction resulted in a change of control of Crescent.

On March 9, 2023, the Company completed a transaction to acquire First Eagle Alternative Capital BDC, Inc. ("FCRD") in a cash and stock transaction (the “FCRD Acquisition”). See “Note 13. First Eagle Alternative Capital BDC, Inc. Acquisition” for more information.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar and these consolidated financial statements have been prepared in that currency. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to Regulation S-X. The Company is an investment company and, therefore, applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications consisting solely of normal accruals that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial results as of and for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for the fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Although management believes that the estimates and assumptions are reasonable, changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and may include highly liquid investments (e.g., money market funds, U.S. Treasury notes, and similar type instruments) with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents other than money market mutual funds, are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Money market mutual funds are carried at their net asset value, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents held by the Company are deemed to be a Level 1 asset per ASC 820 Fair Value hierarchy, as defined below. Restricted cash and cash equivalents consists of deposits and cash collateral held at Wells Fargo Bank N.A. related to the Company’s credit facility. The Company holds cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies. The Company deposits its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash with highly rated banking corporations and, at times, cash deposits may exceed the insured limits under applicable law.

Investment Transactions

Loan originations are recorded on the date of the binding commitment. Investments purchased on a secondary market are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are recorded using the specific identification method as the difference between the net proceeds received (excluding prepayment fees, if any) and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments written off during the period, net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized gains or losses primarily reflects the change in investment fair values as of the last day of the reporting period and also includes the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses with respect to investments realized during the period.

Investment Valuation

The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company considers its principal market to be the market that has the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820 specifies a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in the determination of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these levels are summarized below:

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at those market quotations. To validate market quotations, the Adviser utilizes a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of the quotations. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which market quotations are deemed not reflective of the fair value, the Adviser, as the Board’s valuation designee, determines the fair value of the investments in good faith, based on, among other things, the fair valuation recommendations from investment professionals, the input of the Company’s Audit Committee and independent third-party valuation firms.

The SEC has adopted Rule 2a-5 (the “Rule”) under the 1940 Act. The Rule establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Rule, the Board has designated the Adviser as valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to perform certain fair value functions, including performing fair value determinations. As required by the Rule, the Valuation Designee provides periodic fair valuation reporting and notifications on behalf of the Company to the Board to facilitate the Board’s oversight duties.

The Adviser, as the Valuation Designee, undertakes a multi-step valuation process under the supervision of the Board, which includes, among other procedures, the following:

•

Each investment is initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for monitoring that investment.

•

The Adviser has established pricing and valuation committees, which are responsible for reviewing and approving the fair valuation recommendations from the investment professionals.

•

The valuations of certain portfolio investments are independently corroborated by third-party valuation firms based on certain criteria including investment size and risk profile.

•

Final valuation determinations and supporting materials are provided to the Board quarterly as part of the Board's oversight of the Adviser as the valuation designee.

Investments in investment companies are valued at fair value. Fair values are generally determined utilizing the net asset value (“NAV”) supplied by, or on behalf of, management of each investment company, which is net of management and incentive fees or allocations charged by the investment company and is in accordance with the “practical expedient”, as defined by ASC 820. NAVs received by, or on behalf of, management of each investment company are based on the fair value of the investment company’s underlying investments in accordance with policies established by management of each investment company, as described in each of their financial statements and offering memorandum. Investments which are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from the above hierarchy.

The Company applies the valuation policy approved by the Board that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with the valuation policy, the Adviser, in its capacity as the Valuation Designee, evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which its investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. When a security is valued based on prices provided by reputable dealers or pricing services (that is, broker quotes), the Company subjects those prices to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a particular investment would qualify for classification as a Level 2 or Level 3 investment. For example, the Company reviews pricing methodologies provided by dealers or pricing services in order to determine if observable market information is being used, versus unobservable inputs. Some additional factors considered include the number of prices obtained as well as an assessment as to their quality. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the period in which the transfers occur.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of such investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be realized. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities and may be subject to contractual and other restrictions on resale. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different from the unrealized gains or losses reflected herein.

Foreign Currency

Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

•

cash and cash equivalents, fair value of investments, outstanding debt on revolving credit facilities, other assets and liabilities: at the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period; and

•

purchases and sales of investments, borrowings and repayments of such borrowings, income and expenses: at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, the Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held. Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions are included with net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fluctuations arising from the translation of foreign currency on cash, investments and borrowings are included with net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currency translation on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s approach to hedging the foreign currency exposure in its non-U.S. dollar denominated investments is to borrow local currency under the Company’s credit facilities or to enter into foreign currency forward contracts.

Foreign currency forward contracts

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. In a foreign currency forward contract, the Company agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market at the applicable forward rate. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities on a gross basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable. All foreign currency forward contracts are currently held with a single counterparty. Notional amounts and the gross fair value of foreign currency forward contract assets and liabilities are presented separately on the Consolidated Schedules of Investments. Purchases and sales of foreign currency forward contracts having the same notional value, settlement date and counterparty are generally settled net (which results in a net foreign currency position of zero with the counterparty) and any realized gains or losses are recognized on the settlement date.

The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and as such, the Company recognizes its derivatives at fair value with changes in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Debt Issuance Costs

The Company records costs related to the issuance of debt obligations as deferred financing costs. These costs are amortized over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight-line method. See Note 6 for details.

Equity Offering Expenses

Deferred offering costs consist of fees paid in relation to legal, accounting, regulatory and printing work completed in preparation of equity offerings and are included in other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These costs are charged as a reduction of paid-in-capital upon the closing of the related offering.

Interest and Dividend Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the amortization of purchase discounts and premiums. Discounts and premiums to par value are accreted or amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion and amortization of discounts and premiums, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income.

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

Certain investments have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the loan principal or cost basis of the investment on the respective interest or dividend payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. PIK is recorded as interest income, as applicable. If at any point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. Accrued PIK interest or dividends are generally reversed through interest or dividend income, respectively, when an investment is placed on non-accrual status.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of September 30, 2024, we hadfourteen investments across five portfolio companies on non-accrual status, which represented 1.7% and 0.9% of the total debt investments at cost and fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we hadseventeen investments across nine portfolio companies on non-accrual status, which represented 2.0% and 1.9% of the total debt investments at cost and fair value, respectively. The remaining debt investments were performing and current on their interest payments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Other Income

Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, agency, underwriting and arranger fees associated with the Company’s investment activities. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Company also has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it will generally not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income or excise taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. As a result, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company represents obligations of the Company’s stockholders and will not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reversed and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC 740 — Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements.

The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code, pertaining to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income taxes. As of September 30, 2024 the Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for returns filed for the three most recent calendar years and by state tax authorities for returns filed for the four most recent calendar years.

In order for the Company not to be subject to federal excise taxes, it must distribute annually an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections), (ii) 98.2% of its net capital gains from the current year and (iii) any undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains from preceding years. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. The Company accrues excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required on a quarterly basis.

CBDC Universal Equity, Inc. and First Eagle OEMG Investor, Inc., are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and taxable entities (“Taxable Subsidiaries”). The Taxable Subsidiaries permit the Company to hold equity investments in portfolio companies which are “pass through” entities for tax purposes and continues to comply with the “source income” requirements contained in RIC tax provisions of the Code. The Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated with the Company for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities, as a result of its ownership of certain portfolio investments. The income tax expense, or benefit, if any, and related tax assets and liabilities are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Dividends and Distributions to Stockholders

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board each quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

The Company adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of the Company’s dividends and other distributions on behalf of the stockholders unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Company’s Board authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend, or other distribution then stockholders who are participating in the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends and distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends and distributions.

Acquisitions

The Company evaluates each purchase transaction to determine whether the set of acquired assets meet the definition of a business. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, then the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. If the “substantially all” threshold is not met, the set of acquired assets has to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs to be considered a business. A substantive process, which is typically comprised of an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience, is not ancillary or minor, cannot be replaced without significant costs, effort or delay or is otherwise considered unique or scarce. For acquisitions that are not deemed to be businesses, total consideration paid, which, under certain circumstances, may also include consideration paid by affiliates on behalf of the Company, is allocated to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values at the acquisition date and does not give rise to goodwill. Transaction costs related to acquisition of assets are included in the cost basis of the assets acquired.

New Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07, however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions

Administration Agreement

On June 2, 2015, the Company entered into the administration agreement with the Administrator, as amended and restated on February 1, 2020 (the “Administration Agreement”). Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides administrative services to the Company. These services include providing office space, equipment and office services, maintaining financial records, preparing reports to stockholders and reports filed with the SEC, and managing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others. Certain of these services are reimbursable to the Administrator under the terms of the Administration Agreement. In addition, the Administrator is permitted to delegate its duties under the Administration Agreement to affiliates or third parties. To the extent the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Company will pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis, without incremental profit to the Administrator. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty on 60 days’ written notice to the other party.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred administrative services expenses of$314 and$997, respectively, which are included in other general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred administrative services expenses of$333 and $1,121, respectively, which are included in other general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023,$532 and $493, respectively, was payable to the Administrator which is included in the accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition to administrative services expenses, the payable balances may include other operating expenses paid by the Administrator on behalf of the Company.

No person who is an officer, director or employee of the Administrator or its affiliates and who serves as a director of the Company receives any compensation from the Company for his or her services as a director. However, the Company reimburses the Administrator (or its affiliates) for an allocable portion of the compensation paid by the Administrator or its affiliates to the Company’s accounting professionals, legal counsel, and compliance professionals who spend time on such related activities (based on the percentage of time those individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the business and affairs of the Company). The allocable portion of the compensation for these officers and other professionals are included in the administration expenses paid to the

Administrator. Directors who are not affiliated with the Administrator or its affiliates receive compensation for their services and reimbursement of expenses incurred to attend meetings, which are included as directors’ fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investment Advisory Agreement

On June 2, 2015, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser which was most recently amended and restated on January 5, 2021 (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Company and its portfolio investments. The Adviser’s services under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and the Adviser is free to furnish similar or other services to others so long as its services to the Company are not impaired. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a base management fee and may also receive incentive fees, as discussed below.

Base Management Fee

The base management fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Company’s gross assets, including assets acquired through the incurrence of debt but excluding any cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. For purposes of the Investment Advisory Agreement, cash equivalents means U.S. government securities and commercial paper maturing within one year of purchase. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has voluntarily waived its right to receive management fees on the Company’s investments in GACP II LP, WhiteHawk III Onshore Fund LP and Freeport Financial SBIC Fund LP for any period in which these investments remain in the investment portfolio.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred management fees of$5,119 and$15,133, of which$30 and$101, respectively, were waived. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred management fees of $5,073 and $14,541, of which $49 and $145, respectively, were waived. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, management fees of$5,089 and $5,026, respectively, were unpaid.

Incentive Fee per Investment Advisory Agreement

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the incentive fee consists of two parts:

The first part, the income incentive fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and (a) equals 100% of the excess of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, over a preferred return of 1.75% per quarter (7.0% annualized) (the “Hurdle”), and a catch-up feature until the Adviser has received 17.5% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the current quarter up to 2.1212% (the “Catch-up”), and (b)17.5% of all remaining pre-incentive fee net investment income above the “Catch-up.”

The second part, the capital gains incentive fee, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year at a rate of 17.5% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from the Company’s inception through the end of the fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. In the event that the Investment Advisory Agreement shall terminate as of a date that is not a fiscal year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a fiscal year end for purposes of calculating and paying a capital gains incentive fee.

On February 22, 2021, the Adviser notified the Board of Directors of its intent to voluntarily waive income incentive fees to the extent net investment income, excluding the effect of the GAAP incentive fee, falls short of the regular declared dividend on a full dollar basis. The waiver became effective on July 31, 2021 and, pursuant to an extension of the waiver announced on October 4, 2022, continued through December 31, 2023. The Adviser has also voluntarily waived its right to receive the income incentive fees attributable to the investment income accrued by the Company as a result of its investments in GACP II LP, WhiteHawk III Onshore Fund LP and Freeport Financial SBIC Fund LP.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during each calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for such quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding debt or preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as market discount, original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income will be compared to a “Hurdle Amount” equal to the product of (i) the Hurdle rate of 1.75% per quarter, or 7.0% annualized, and (ii) our net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness, before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period), at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a “catch-up” provision incurred at the end of each calendar quarter.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred income incentive fees of $4,976 and $14,518, of which $77 and$114, respectively, were waived. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred income incentive fees of $4,593 and $12,634, of which $69 and $229, respectively, were waived. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, income incentive fees of$4,899 and $4,770, respectively, were unpaid.

GAAP Incentive Fee on Cumulative Unrealized Capital Appreciation

The Company accrues, but does not pay, a portion of the incentive fee based on capital gains with respect to net unrealized appreciation. Under GAAP, the Company is required to accrue an incentive fee based on capital gains that includes net realized capital gains and losses and net unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. In calculating the accrual for the incentive fee based on capital gains, the Company considers the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, since an incentive fee based on capital gains would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. This accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then the Company records a capital gains incentive fee equal to 17.5% of such amount, minus the aggregate amount of actual incentive fees based on capital gains paid in all prior periods. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recordedno capital gains incentive fees on unrealized capital appreciation. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no capital gains incentive fees remain outstanding.

Other Related Party Transactions

From time to time, the Administrator may pay amounts owed by the Company to third-party providers of goods or services, including the Board, and the Company will subsequently reimburse the Administrator for such amounts paid on its behalf.

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Investments

The following table presents fair value measurements of investments as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

The following table presents fair value measurements of investments as of December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

(1)

In accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that are measured using the net asset value per shares (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. These investments are generally not redeemable. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for total investments that use Level 3 inputs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, based off of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $3,330 in transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 due to an increase in observable inputs in market data and $21,852 in transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a decrease in observable inputs in market data.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for total investments that use Level 3 inputs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, based off of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2023 (in thousands):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $21,038 in transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 due to an increase in observable inputs in market data and $52,567 in transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a decrease in observable inputs in market data.

The following tables present the fair value of Level 3 investments and the ranges of significant unobservable inputs used to value the Company’s Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. These ranges represent the significant unobservable inputs that were used in the valuation of each type of investment. These inputs are not representative of the inputs that could have been used in the valuation of any one investment. For example, the highest market yield presented in the table for senior secured first lien investments is appropriate for valuing a specific investment but may not be appropriate for valuing any other investment. Accordingly, the ranges of inputs presented below do not represent uncertainty in, or possible ranges of, fair value measurements of the Company’s Level 3 investments.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt and equity securities are primarily earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), revenue, comparable multiples and market discount rates. The Company typically uses comparable EBITDA or revenue multiples on its equity securities to determine the fair value of investments. The Company uses discount rates for debt securities to determine if the effective yield on a debt security is commensurate with the market yields for that type of debt security.

•

The significant unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow approach is the discount rate used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. Increases and decreases in the discount rate would result in a decrease and increase in the fair value, respectively. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates is risk of default, rating of the investment, call provisions and comparable company investments.

•

The significant unobservable inputs used in the market multiple approach are the multiples of similar companies’ EBITDA, revenue and comparable market transactions. Increases and decreases in market EBITDA multiples and revenue would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value, respectively.

•

The recovery rate represents the extent to which proceeds can be recovered. An increase/decrease in the recovery rate would result in an increase/decrease, respectively, in the fair value. The transaction precedent represents an observable transaction or a pending event for the investment.

Note 6. Debt

Debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

(1)

The amount available is subject to any limitations related to the respective debt facilities’ borrowing bases and foreign currency translation adjustments.

(2)

The amount presented excludes netting of deferred financing costs.

(3)

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of the Company’s outstanding debt approximated fair value unless otherwise noted.

(4)

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Series 2021A Unsecured Notes was approximately$133,968 and $128,296, respectively.

(5)

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the FCRX Unsecured Notes was approximately $108,698 and $104,458.

(6)

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Series 2023A Unsecured Notes was approximately$52,413 and $51,986.

The combined weighted average interest rate of the aggregate borrowings outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 7.23% and 6.96% respectively. The combined weighted average debt of the aggregate borrowings outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was$878,918 and $825,576 respectively.

The fair values of the Company’s debt are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Company's debt is calculated by discounting remaining payments using comparable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all the debt except for FCRX Unsecured Notes would be deemed to be Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. FCRX Unsecured Notes FCRX would be deemed to be Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the terms and covenants of its debt arrangements.

Note 7. Derivatives

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help mitigate its counterparty risk, the Company may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or a similar agreement with its derivative counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Company and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including foreign currency forward contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Company and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is included under restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. There has beenno cash collateral received or paid from the counterparty. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. All of the forward contracts qualify as Level 2 financial instruments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 the Company’s average USD notional exposure, calculated daily on a weighted average based on the duration of each forward contract, of foreign currency forward contracts was $77,529 and $99,400, respectively.

Note 8. Commitments, Contingencies and Indemnifications

The Company’s investment portfolio may contain investments that are in the form of lines of credit or unfunded commitments, which require the Company to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. Unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These commitments are subject to the same underwriting and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial instruments that the Company holds. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had aggregated unfunded commitments totaling$200,110 and $175,048 including foreign denominated commitments converted to USD at the balance sheet date, respectively, under loan and financing agreements.

The per share data for distributions per share reflects the actual amount of distributions declared per share for the applicable periods.

(3)

Total return based on market value is calculated as the change in market value per share during the period, taking into account dividends, if any, reinvested in accordance with the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.

(4)

Total return based on net asset value is calculated as the change in net asset value per share during the period plus declared dividends per share during the period, divided by the beginning net asset value per share, and not annualized.

(5)

The ratio of total expenses to average net assets in the table above reflects the Adviser’s voluntary waivers of its right to receive a portion of the management fees and income incentive fees with respect to the Company’s ownership in GACP II LP, WhiteHawk III Onshore Fund LP and Freeport Financial SBIC Fund LP and a voluntary waiver of income incentive fees to the extent net investment income, excluding the effect of the GAAP incentive fee, falls short of the regular declared dividend on a full dollar basis. Excluding the effects of the voluntary waivers, the ratio of total expenses to average net assets would have been 14.73% and 14.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(6) Annualized.

(7) Not annualized.

Any record holder of shares of FCRD Common Stock who did not validly make an Election was deemed to have elected to receive shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to the CCAP Aggregate Merger Consideration as payment for their shares of FCRD Common Stock. Each share of FCRD Common Stock (other than a Cancelled Share) with respect to which an Election was effectively made, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, and not properly revoked or lost was treated as an “Electing Share” and each share of FCRD Common Stock (other than a Cancelled Share) with respect to which an Election was not properly made or such Election was properly revoked was treated as a “Non-Electing Share.”

Applying the adjustment mechanisms in the Merger Agreement among all stockholders who hold Electing Shares, pro rata based on the aggregate number of Electing Shares held by each such stockholder, each Electing Share was converted into the right to receive (1) with respect to its share of the CCAP Aggregate Merger Consideration, approximately $0.509 in cash and approximately 0.195 shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to adjustments for cash payable in lieu of fractional shares) and (2) with respect to its share of the CCAP Adviser Cash Consideration, approximately $1.17 in cash. Each Non-Electing Share was converted into the right to receive (1) with respect to its share of the CCAP Aggregate Merger Consideration, approximately 0.2209 shares of the the Company’s common stock and (2) with respect to its share of the CCAP Adviser Cash Consideration, approximately $1.17 in cash (subject to adjustments for cash payable in lieu of fractional shares).

In addition, in connection with the Merger Agreement, Sun Life, which owns a majority interest in the Adviser, has committed to provide secondary market support and will over time purchase up to $20,000 of the combined company’s common stock via a share purchase program. As of September 30, 2024, Sun Life purchased approximately$12,618 of the Company's common stock via a share purchase program.

The FCRD Acquisition was accounted as an asset acquisition because the set of acquired assets did not constitute a business. Accordingly, the fair value of the merger consideration paid by the Company was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of acquisition and did not give rise to goodwill. Since the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the fair value of the merger consideration paid by the Company, the Company recognized a deemed contribution from the Adviser equal to the amount by which the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the merger consideration paid directly by the Company.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the FCRD Acquisition (in thousands):

(1) Common stock consideration was issued at the Company’s closing stock price of $14.78 as of March 9, 2023, the closing date of the FCRD Acquisition.

(2) Investments acquired were recorded at fair value at the date of the acquisition, which is also the Company’s initial cost basis.
