Overview



We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland
on July 13, 2011 and formally commenced investment operations on June 18, 2012.
We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment
company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and has
elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to
qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In March 2014, we
closed our continuous public offering of shares of common stock to new
investors.

On June 17, 2020, shares of our common stock began trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "FSKR", or the Listing. The Listing accomplished our goal of providing stockholders with greatly enhanced liquidity.



We are externally managed by the Advisor pursuant to the investment advisory
agreement and supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are
independent. On April 9, 2018, GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, or
GDFM, resigned as our investment sub-adviser and terminated its investment
sub-advisory agreement effective April 9, 2018. In connection with GDFM's
resignation as our investment sub-adviser, on April 9, 2018, we entered into an
investment advisory and administrative services agreement, dated as of April 9,
2018, with the Advisor, or the prior investment advisory and administrative
services agreement, which replaced an investment advisory and administrative
services agreement with our former investment adviser, FSIC II Advisor, LLC, or
FSIC II Advisor. Following the consummation of the 2019 Mergers, we entered into
the investment advisory agreement with the Advisor, which replaced the prior
investment advisory and administrative services agreement.

Our investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We seek to meet our investment objectives by:





     •    utilizing the experience and expertise of the management team of the
          Advisor;




     •    employing a defensive investment approach focused on long-term credit
          performance and principal protection;



• focusing primarily on debt investments in a broad array of private U.S.


          companies, including middle-market companies, which we define as
          companies with annual EBITDA of $25 million to $100 million at the time
          of investment;




                                       51

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents

• investing primarily in established, stable enterprises with positive cash


          flows; and



• maintaining rigorous portfolio monitoring in an attempt to anticipate and

pre-empt negative credit events within our portfolio, such as an event of

insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a

portfolio company.




We pursue our investment objective by investing primarily in the debt of middle
market U.S. companies with a focus on originated transactions sourced through
the network of the Advisor and its affiliates. We define direct originations as
any investment where the Company's investment adviser, sub-adviser or their
affiliates had negotiated the terms of the transaction beyond just the price,
which, for example, may include negotiating financial covenants, maturity dates
or interest rate terms. These directly originated transactions include
participation in other originated transactions where there may be third parties
involved, or a bank acting as an intermediary, for a closely held club, or
similar transactions. These direct originations include investments originated
by FSIC II Advisor, GDFM or their affiliates.

Our portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured loans and
second lien secured loans of private middle market U.S. companies and, to a
lesser extent, subordinated loans and certain asset-based financing loans of
private U.S. companies. Although we do not expect a significant portion of our
portfolio to be comprised of subordinated loans, there is no limit on the amount
of such loans in which we may invest. We may purchase interests in loans or make
other debt investments, including investments in senior secured bonds, through
secondary market transactions in the OTC market or directly from our target
companies as primary market or directly originated investments. In connection
with our debt investments, we may on occasion receive equity interests such as
warrants or options as additional consideration. We may also purchase or
otherwise acquire interests in the form of common or preferred equity or
equity-related securities, such as rights and warrants that may be converted
into or exchanged for common stock or other equity or the cash value of common
stock or other equity, including through a co-investment with a financial
sponsor or possibly the restructuring of an investment. In addition, a portion
of our portfolio may be comprised of corporate bonds, structured products, other
debt securities and derivatives, including total return swaps and credit default
swaps. The Advisor will seek to tailor our investment focus as market conditions
evolve. Depending on market conditions, we may increase or decrease our exposure
to less senior portions of the capital structures of our portfolio companies or
otherwise make opportunistic investments, such as where the market price of
loans, bonds or other securities reflects a lower value than deemed warranted by
the Advisor's fundamental analysis. Such investment opportunities may occur due
to general dislocations in the markets, a misunderstanding by the market of a
particular company or an industry being out of favor with the broader investment
community and may include event driven investments, anchor orders and structured
products.

The senior secured loans, second lien secured loans and senior secured bonds in
which we invest generally have stated terms of three to seven years and
subordinated debt investments that we make generally have stated terms of up to
ten years, but the expected average life of such securities is generally three
to four years. However, we may invest in loans and securities with any maturity
or duration. Our debt investments may be rated by a NRSRO and, in such case,
generally will carry a rating below investment grade (rated lower than "Baa3" by
Moody's, or lower than "BBB-" by S&P). We may invest without limit in debt or
other securities of any rating, as well as debt or other securities that have
not been rated by a NRSRO.

Acquisitions of FS Investment Corporation III, FS Investment Corporation IV and Corporate Capital Trust II



On December 18, 2019, we completed the 2019 Mergers. Pursuant to the 2019 Merger
Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 merged with and into FSIC III, with FSIC III
continuing as the surviving company, and, immediately thereafter, FSIC III
merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving
company, (ii) Merger Sub 2 merged with and into CCT II, with CCT II continuing
as the surviving company, and, immediately thereafter, CCT II merged with and
into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company, and
(iii) Merger Sub 3 merged with and into FSIC IV, with FSIC IV continuing as the
surviving company, and, immediately thereafter, FSIC IV merged with and into the
Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company. In accordance
with the terms of the 2019 Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the
transactions contemplated by the 2019 Merger Agreement, (i) each outstanding
share of FSIC III common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.9804
shares of our common stock, (ii) each outstanding share of beneficial interest
of CCT II was converted into the right to receive 1.1319 shares of our common
stock and (iii) each outstanding share of FSIC IV common stock was converted
into the right to receive 1.3634 shares of our common stock. As a result, we
issued an aggregate of approximately 289,084,117 share of our common stock to
former FSIC III stockholders, 14,031,781 shares of our common stock to former
CCT II stockholders and 43,668,803 shares of our common stock to former FSIC IV
stockholders. Following the consummation of the 2019 Mergers, we entered into
the investment advisory agreement, which replaced the prior investment advisory
and administrative services agreement. Share and exchange ratio amounts in the
foregoing do not reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Pending Merger with FSK

On November 23, 2020, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the 2020 Merger Agreement with FS KKR Capital Corp., a Maryland corporation, or FSKR, and together with FSKR, the Funds, Rocky Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of FSK, or Merger Sub and the Advisor.



The 2020 Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the conditions set forth in
the 2020 Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with
the Company continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of FSK, or the First Merger, and, immediately thereafter, the Company will merge
with and into FSK, with FSK continuing as the surviving company, or together
with the First Merger, the 2021 Merger. The board of directors of each Fund has
approved the 2021 Merger, with the participation throughout by, and the
unanimous support of, its respective independent directors. The parties to the
2020 Merger Agreement intend the 2021 Merger to be treated as a "reorganization"
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.

In the 2021 Merger, each share of the Company's common stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger will be
converted into a number of shares of FSK common stock equal to an exchange ratio
to be determined in connection with the closing of the 2021 Merger, or the
Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio will equal the net asset value per share of
the Company's common stock, respectively (determined no earlier than 48 hours
(excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the closing date of the 2021 Merger),
divided by the net asset value per share of FSK common stock (determined, in
each case, no earlier than 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to
the closing date of the 2021 Merger). Holders of the Company's common stock may
receive fractional shares or cash in lieu of fractional shares, at the election
of FSK.

The 2020 Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants,
including, among others, covenants relating to the operation of each of the
Funds and the Advisor's businesses during the period prior to the closing of the
2021 Merger. The Funds have agreed to convene and hold meetings of their
respective stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the required approvals of
the Funds' stockholders, respectively, and have agreed to recommend that their
stockholders approve their respective proposals.

The 2020 Merger Agreement provides that the board of directors of each Fund may
not solicit proposals relating to alternative transactions, or, subject to
certain exceptions, enter into discussions or negotiations or provide
information in connection with any proposal for an alternative transaction.
However, each of the Funds may, subject to certain conditions, change its
recommendation to their respective stockholders, terminate the 2020 Merger
Agreement and enter into an agreement with respect to a superior alternative
proposal if the board of directors of such Fund determines in its reasonable
good faith judgment, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the
failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to breach its standard of
conduct under applicable law (taking into account any changes to the 2020 Merger
Agreement proposed by the other Fund).

Consummation of the 2021 Merger, which is currently anticipated to occur during
the second or third quarter of 2021, is subject to certain closing conditions,
including (1) requisite approvals of the Funds' stockholders, (2) the absence of
certain legal impediments to the consummation of the 2021 Merger,
(3) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form N-14, which includes a
joint proxy statement of the Funds and a prospectus of FSK, or the Proxy
Statement, (4) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the
representations and warranties and compliance with the covenants of each party
to the 2020 Merger Agreement and (5) required regulatory approvals (including
expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended).

The 2020 Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights in favor of
each Fund including if the 2021 Merger is not completed on or before
November 23, 2021 or if the requisite approvals of the applicable Fund's
stockholders are not obtained. The 2020 Merger Agreement also provides that,
upon the termination of the 2020 Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, a
third party may be required to pay FSKR a termination fee of approximately
$90.8, or a third party may be required to pay FSK a termination fee of
approximately $126.2.

Revenues



The principal measure of our financial performance is net increase in net assets
resulting from operations, which includes net investment income, net realized
gain or loss on investments, net realized gain or loss on foreign currency, net
unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and net unrealized gain
or loss on foreign currency. Net investment income is the difference between our
income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our
operating and other expenses. Net realized gain or loss on investments is the
difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio
investments and their amortized cost, including the respective realized gain or
loss on foreign currency for those foreign



                                       53

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



denominated investment transactions. Net realized gain or loss on foreign
currency is the portion of realized gain or loss attributable to foreign
currency fluctuations. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on
investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio,
including the respective unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency for those
foreign denominated investments. Net unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency
is the net change in the value of receivables or accruals due to the impact of
foreign currency fluctuations.

We principally generate revenues in the form of interest income on the debt
investments we hold. In addition, we generate revenues in the form of
non-recurringcommitment, closing, origination, structuring or diligence fees,
monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees,
prepayment fees and performance-based fees. We may also generate revenues in the
form of dividends and other distributions on the equity or other securities we
hold.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of management and incentive
fees and other expenses under the investment advisory agreement and the
administration agreement, interest expense from financing arrangements and other
indebtedness, and other expenses necessary for our operations. The management
and incentive fees compensate the Advisor for its work in identifying,
evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments.

The Advisor oversees our day-to-day operations, including the provision of
general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations,
certain government and regulatory affairs activities, and other administrative
services. The Advisor also performs, or oversees the performance of, our
corporate operations and required administrative services, which includes being
responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintain and
preparing reports for our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In
addition, the Advisor assists us in calculating our net asset value, overseeing
the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of
reports to our stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of our
expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services
rendered to us by others.

Pursuant to the administration agreement, we reimburse the Advisor for expenses
necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations,
including the Advisor's allocable portion of the compensation and related
expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments and KKR Credit providing
administrative services to us on behalf of the Advisor. We reimburse the Advisor
no less than quarterly for all costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor in
performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities under the
administration agreement. The Advisor allocates the cost of such services to us
based on factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other
reasonable metrics. Our board of directors reviews the methodology employed in
determining how the expenses are allocated to us and the proposed allocation of
administrative expenses among us and certain affiliates of the Advisor. Our
board of directors then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for
expenses allocated to us based on the breadth, depth and quality of such
services as compared to the estimated cost to us of obtaining similar services
from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, our board
of directors considers whether any single third-party service provider would be
capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally,
our board of directors compares the total amount paid to the Advisor for such
services as a percentage of our net assets to the same ratio as reported by
other comparable BDCs.

We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions, including (without limitation) fees and expenses relating to:





     •    corporate and organization expenses relating to offerings of our

securities, subject to limitations included in the investment advisory


          agreement;




     •    the cost of calculating our net asset value, including the cost of any

          third-party pricing or valuation services;



• the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock


          and other securities;




  •   investment advisory fees;




     •    fees payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, making
          investments and valuing investments, including fees and expenses
          associated with performing due diligence reviews of prospective
          investments;




  •   interest payments on our debt or related obligations;




  •   transfer agent and custodial fees;



• research and market data (including news and quotation equipment and

services, and any computer hardware and connectivity hardware (e.g.,

telephone and fiber optic lines) incorporated into the cost of obtaining


          such research and market data);




                                       54

  •   federal, state and local taxes;




     •    fees and expenses of directors not also serving in an executive officer
          capacity for us or the Advisor;

     •    fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability

          insurance and other insurance premiums;

1940 Act and applicable federal and state securities laws, including


          compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;




  •   brokerage commissions for our investments; and




     •    all other expenses incurred by the Advisor or us in connection with

administering our business, including expenses incurred by the Advisor in

performing administrative services for us and administrative personnel

paid by the Advisor, to the extent they are not controlling persons of

the Advisor or any of its affiliates, subject to the limitations included

in the investment advisory agreement and the administration agreement.




In addition, we have contracted with State Street Bank and Trust Company to
provide various accounting and administrative services, including, but not
limited to, preparing preliminary financial information for review by the
Advisor, preparing and monitoring expense budgets, maintaining accounting and
corporate books and records, processing trade information provided by us and
performing testing with respect to RIC compliance.

COVID-19 Developments



The rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and associated impacts on the U.S.
and global economies, has negatively impacted, and is likely to continue to
negatively impact, the business operations of some of our portfolio companies.
We cannot at this time fully predict the continued impact of COVID-19 on our
business or the business of our portfolio companies, its duration or magnitude
or the extent to which it will negatively impact our portfolio companies'
operating results or our own results of operations or financial condition. We
expect that certain of our portfolio companies will continue to experience
economic distress for the foreseeable future and may significantly limit
business operations if subjected to prolonged economic distress. These
developments could result in a decrease in the value of our investments.

COVID-19 has already had adverse effects on our investment income and we expect
that such adverse effects will continue for some time. These adverse effects may
require us to restructure certain of our investments, which could result in
further reductions to our investment income or in impairments on our
investments. In addition, disruptions in the capital markets have resulted in
illiquidity in certain market areas. These market disruptions and illiquidity
are likely to have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows. Unfavorable economic conditions caused by
COVID-19 can also be expected to increase our funding costs and limit our access
to the capital markets. These events have limited our investment originations,
which is likely to continue for the immediate future, and have also had a
material negative impact on our operating results.

We will continue to carefully monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our
business and the business of our portfolio companies. Because the full effects
of the COVID-19 pandemic are not capable of being known at this time, we cannot
estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our future financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows. We do, however, expect that it will continue to have a
negative impact on our business and the financial condition of certain of our
portfolio companies.

Portfolio Asset Quality

In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, the Advisor uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. The Advisor uses an investment rating scale of 1 to 4. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:





Investment
Rating                                   Summary Description

1                 Performing Investment-generally executing in accordance with plan
                  and there are no concerns about the portfolio company's
                  performance or ability to meet covenant requirements.

2                 Performing investment-no concern about repayment of both interest

(1) Historically, the Advisor has rated its investment in COP as a 2 on the

investment rating scale. As of December 31, 2020, the Advisor evaluates its

investment in COP by rating each individual loan in COP's portfolio on a

look-through basis. The Advisor has re-evaluated its portfolio as of

December 31, 2019 and has updated the investment rating scale in the table

above in order to be in accordance with the current methodology.

The amount of the portfolio in each grading category may vary substantially from period to period resulting primarily from changes in the composition of the portfolio as a result of new investment, repayment and exit activities. In addition, changes in the grade of investments may be made to reflect our expectation of performance and changes in investment values.

The level of interest income we receive is generally related to the balance of
income-producing investments, multiplied by the weighted average yield of our
investments. Fee income is transaction based, and typically consists of
prepayment fees and structuring fees. As such, fee income is generally dependent
on new direct origination investments and the occurrence of events at existing
portfolio companies resulting in such fees.

The increase in interest and fee income during the year ended December 31, 2020
compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 can primarily be attributed to the
increase in assets resulting from the 2019 Mergers.

The increase in dividend income during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to dividends paid in respect to our investment in Credit Opportunities Partners, LLC.



The increase in interest income during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared
to the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to higher average invested
balance during the year ended December 31, 2019, along with the increase in
interest income from the acquired FSIC III, FSIC IV and CCT II assets for the
last thirteen days of 2019.

Expenses

Our operating expenses, together with excise taxes, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Incentive fees and interest expense, among other things, may increase or decrease our expense ratios relative to comparative periods depending on portfolio performance and changes in amounts outstanding under our financing arrangements and benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR, among other factors.

Net Investment Income



Our net investment income totaled $359 ($2.10 per share), $238 ($2.82 per share)
and $236 ($2.91 per share) for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018,
respectively. The increase in net investment income for the year ended
December 31, 2020 compared to 2019 can be attributed to the increase in interest
income as discussed above.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the net change in unrealized

market declines across the portfolio resulting from uncertainty related to the
current COVID-19 pandemic. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the net
change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments was driven
by mark to market declines in certain debt investments.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

On June 17, 2020, shares of our common stock began trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "FSKR". The Listing accomplished our goal of providing our stockholders with greatly enhanced liquidity.



As of December 31, 2020, we had $168 in cash and foreign currency, which we or
our wholly-owned financing subsidiaries held in custodial accounts, and $1,421
in borrowings available under our financing arrangements, subject to borrowing
base and other limitations. As of December 31, 2020, we also had broadly
syndicated investments and opportunistic investments that could be sold to
create additional liquidity. As of December 31, 2020, we had unfunded debt
investments with aggregate unfunded commitments of $516.8, unfunded equity/other
commitments of $139.3, and an unfunded commitment of $284.4 to contribute
capital to Credit Opportunities Partners, LLC. We maintain sufficient cash on
hand, available borrowings and liquid securities to fund such unfunded
commitments should the need arise.

We currently generate cash primarily from cash flows from fees, interest and
dividends earned from our investments as well as principal repayments and
proceeds from sales of our investments. To seek to enhance our returns, we also
employ leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of the
Advisor, but in no event will leverage employed exceed the maximum amount
permitted by the 1940 Act. Prior to June 18, 2020, in accordance with the 1940
Act, we were allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, calculated
pursuant to the 1940 Act, was at least 200% after such borrowing. Effective
June 19, 2020, our asset coverage requirement applicable to senior securities
was reduced from 200% to 150%. As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate amount
outstanding of the senior securities issued by us was $3,964 million. As
of December 31, 2020, our asset coverage was 208%. See "-Financing
Arrangements."

Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the cash
received from fees, interest and dividends earned from our investments and
principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments primarily in
cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, 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.

RIC Status and Distributions



We have elected to be subject to tax as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In
order to qualify for RIC tax treatment, we must, among other things, make
distributions of an amount at least equal to 90% of our investment company
taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for distributions
paid, each tax year. As long as the distributions are declared by the later of
the fifteenth day of the ninth month following the close of a tax year or the
due date of the tax return for such tax year, including extensions,
distributions paid up to twelve months after the current tax year can be carried
back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax
year. We intend to make sufficient distributions to our stockholders to qualify
for and maintain our RIC tax status each tax year. We are also subject to a 4%
nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless we make
distributions in a timely manner to our stockholders generally of an amount at
least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary income (taking into
account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our
capital gain net income, which is the excess of capital gains in excess of
capital losses, or "capital gain net income" (adjusted for certain ordinary
losses), for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year and
(3) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for the preceding years
that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no U.S. federal
income tax. Any distribution declared by us during October, November or December
of any calendar year, payable to stockholders of record on a specified date in
such a month and actually paid during January of the following calendar year,
will be treated as if it had been paid by us, as well as received by our
stockholders, on December 31 of the calendar year in which the distribution was
declared. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will
permit us to pay any cash distributions. If we issue senior securities, we will
be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes us to fail to
maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if
distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of
directors, we intend to authorize, declare and pay regular cash distributions on
a quarterly basis. We will calculate each stockholder's specific distribution
amount for the period using record and declaration dates and each stockholder's
distributions will begin to accrue on the date that shares of our common stock
are issued to such stockholder. From time to time, we may also pay special
interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of our common stock at the
discretion of our board of directors.

During certain periods, our distributions may exceed our earnings. As a result,
it is possible that a portion of the distributions we make may represent a
return of capital. A return of capital generally is a return of a stockholder's
investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from our investment
activities. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the sources of
the distributions will be mailed to our stockholders. No portion of the
distributions paid during the tax years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 or 2018
represented a return of capital.

We intend to continue to make our regular distributions in the form of cash, out
of assets legally available for distribution, except for those stockholders who
receive their distributions in the form of shares of our common stock under our
distribution reinvestment plan. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will
nevertheless remain taxable to a U.S. stockholder.

The following table reflects the cash distributions per share that we have
declared on our common stock during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and
2018:



                                                     Distribution

reflect the Reverse Stock Split as discussed in Note 3 to our consolidated


    financial statements included herein.

See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements contained in this annual
report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our distributions,
including a reconciliation of our GAAP-basis net investment income to our
tax-basis net investment income for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and
2018.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management has utilized
available information, including our past history, industry standards and the
current economic environment, among other factors, in forming the estimates and
judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ
from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different
estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to
those of companies in similar businesses. Understanding our accounting policies
and the extent to which we use management judgment and estimates in applying
these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements. We
describe our most significant accounting policies in "Note 2. Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies" in our consolidated financial statements.
Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of
management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of
the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. We evaluate our critical
accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis
and update them as necessary based on changing conditions. We have identified
one of our accounting policies, valuation of portfolio investments, specifically
the valuation of Level 3 investments, as critical because it involves
significant judgments and assumptions about highly complex and inherently
uncertain matters, and the use of reasonably different estimates and assumptions
could have a material impact on our reported results of operations or financial
condition. As we execute our operating plans, we will describe additional
critical accounting policies in the notes to our future financial statements in
addition to those discussed below.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments



We determine the net asset value of our investment portfolio each quarter.
Securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of
directors. In connection with that determination, the Advisor provides our board
of directors with portfolio company valuations which are based on relevant
inputs, including, but not limited to, indicative dealer quotes, values of like
securities, recent portfolio company financial statements and forecasts, and
valuations prepared by independent third-party valuation services.

ASC Topic 820 issued by the FASB, clarifies the definition of fair value and
requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to
measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to
initial recognition. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be
received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820
also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs
used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as
observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, which
includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets
and quoted prices for identical securities where there is little or no activity
in the market; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or
no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own
assumptions.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, we undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

• our quarterly fair valuation process begins by the Advisor providing

financial and operating information with respect to each portfolio

company or investment to our independent third-party valuation service


          providers;




     •    our independent third-party valuation service providers review this

information, along with other public and private information, and provide


          the Advisor with a valuation range for each portfolio company or
          investment;



• the Advisor then discusses the independent third-party valuation service

providers' valuation ranges and provides the valuation committee of the

board of directors, or the valuation committee, with a valuation

recommendation for each investment, along with supporting materials;






  •   preliminary valuations are then discussed with the valuation committee;




     •    our valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuations and the
          Advisor, together with our independent third-party valuation service

providers and, if applicable, supplements the preliminary valuations to


          reflect any comments provided by the valuation committee;




                                       64

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents

• following the completion of its review, our valuation committee

recommends that our board of directors approves the fair valuations


          determined by the valuation committee; and




     •    our board of directors discusses the valuations and determines the fair
          value of each such investment in our portfolio in good faith based on
          various statistical and other factors, including the input and
          recommendation of the Advisor, the valuation committee and our
          independent third-party valuation service providers.


Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates.
Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the
uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations and any
change in such valuations on our consolidated financial statements. In making
its determination of fair value, our board of directors may use any approved
independent third-party pricing or valuation services. However, our board of
directors is not required to determine fair value in accordance with the
valuation provided by any single source, and may use any relevant data,
including information obtained from the Advisor or any approved independent
third-party valuation or pricing service that our board of directors deems to be
reliable in determining fair value under the circumstances. Below is a
description of factors that the Advisor, any approved independent third party
valuation services and our board of directors may consider when determining the
fair value of our investments.

Valuation of fixed income investments, such as loans and debt securities,
depends upon a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates for like
securities, expected volatility in future interest rates, call features, put
features and other relevant terms of the debt. For investments without readily
available market prices, we may incorporate these factors into discounted cash
flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that may be considered
include the borrower's ability to adequately service its debt, the fair market
value of the borrower in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt and
the quality of collateral securing our debt investments.

For convertible debt securities, fair value generally approximates the fair
value of the debt plus the fair value of an option to purchase the underlying
security (i.e., the security into which the debt may convert) at the conversion
price. To value such an option, a standard option pricing model may be used.

Our equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public
market are valued at fair value. Our board of directors, in its determination of
fair value, may consider various factors, such as multiples of EBITDA, cash
flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation
value. All of these factors may be subject to adjustments based upon the
particular circumstances of a portfolio company or our actual investment
position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation
to previous owners or acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other
related items.

The Advisor, any approved independent third-party valuation services and our
board of directors may also consider private merger and acquisition statistics,
public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors,
valuations implied by third-party investments in the portfolio companies or
industry practices in determining fair value. The Advisor, any approved
independent third-party valuation services and our board of directors may also
consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths
and weaknesses, and may apply discounts or premiums, where and as appropriate,
due to the higher (or lower) financial risk and/or the smaller size of portfolio
companies relative to comparable firms, as well as such other factors as our
board of directors, in consultation with the Advisor and any approved
independent third party valuation services, if applicable, may consider relevant
in assessing fair value. Generally, the value of our equity interests in public
companies for which market quotations are readily available is based upon the
most recent closing public market price. Portfolio securities that carry certain
restrictions on sale are typically valued at a discount from the public market
value of the security.

When we receive warrants or other equity securities at nominal or no additional
cost in connection with an investment in a debt security, the cost basis in the
investment will be allocated between the debt securities and any such warrants
or other equity securities received at the time of origination. Our board of
directors subsequently values these warrants or other equity securities received
at their fair value.

The fair values of our investments are determined in good faith by our board of
directors. Our board of directors is responsible for the valuation of our
portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to our
valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. Our board of
directors has delegated day-to-day responsibility for implementing our valuation
policy to the Advisor, and has authorized the Advisor to utilize independent
third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by our board
of directors. The valuation committee is responsible for overseeing the
Advisor's implementation of the valuation process.

See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding the fair value of our financial instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards



In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value
Measurement-Disclosures Framework-Changes to Disclosure Requirements of Fair
Value Measurement (Topic 820), or ASU 2018-13. ASU 2018-13 introduces new fair
value disclosure requirements and eliminates and modifies certain existing fair
value disclosure requirements.



                                       66

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents

ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We implemented ASU 2018-13 during the year ended December 31, 2020, and it did not have a significant impact on the Company's disclosure over fair value.



In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic
848)," which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to
contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference
rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts,
hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another
reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU
2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31,
2022. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to
contract modifications and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after
December 31, 2022, except for hedging transactions as of December 31, 2022, that
an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained
through the end of the hedging relationship. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04 on its consolidated financial statements.
