Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”), the Company would be deemed to “control” a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities and/or held the power to exercise control over the management or policies of the portfolio company.

As of September 30, 2023
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
1. ORGANIZATION
Carlyle Secured Lending, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “CSL” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation formed on February 8, 2012, and structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”). In addition, the Company has elected to be treated, and intends to continue to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Code”).
The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation primarily through assembling a portfolio of secured debt investments in U.S. middle market companies. The Company's core investment strategy focuses on lending to U.S. middle market companies, which the Company defines as companies with approximately $25 million to $100 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), supported by financial sponsors. This core strategy is opportunistically supplemented with differentiated and complementary lending and investing strategies, which take advantage of the broad capabilities of Carlyle's Global Credit platform while offering risk-diversifying portfolio benefits. The Company seeks to achieve its objective primarily through direct origination of secured debt instruments, including first lien senior secured loans (which may include stand-alone first lien loans, first lien/last out loans and “unitranche” loans) and second lien senior secured loans (collectively, “Middle Market Senior Loans”), with a minority of its assets invested in higher yielding investments (which may include unsecured debt, subordinated debt and investments in equities). The Middle Market Senior Loans are generally made to private U.S. middle market companies that are, in many cases, controlled by private equity firms.
The Company invests primarily in loans to middle market companies whose debt has been rated below investment grade, or would likely be rated below investment grade if it was rated. These securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominately speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
On May 2, 2013, the Company completed its initial closing of capital commitments (the “Initial Closing”) and subsequently commenced substantial investment operations. Effective March 15, 2017, the Company changed its name from “Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc.” to “TCG BDC, Inc.” On June 19, 2017, the Company closed its initial public offering, issuing 9,454,200 shares of its common stock (including shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on July 5, 2017) at a public offering price of $18.50 per share. Net of underwriting costs, the Company received cash proceeds of $169,488. Shares of common stock of the Company began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “CGBD” on June 14, 2017. Effective April 12, 2022, the Company changed its name from “TCG BDC, Inc.” to “Carlyle Secured Lending, Inc.”
The Company is externally managed by its investment adviser, Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management L.L.C. (“CGCIM or “Investment Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Carlyle Group Inc. and an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Carlyle Global Credit Administration L.L.C. (the “Administrator”) provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate. Both the Investment Adviser and the Administrator are wholly owned subsidiaries of Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. (“CIM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Carlyle Group Inc. “Carlyle” refers to The Carlyle Group Inc. and its affiliates and its consolidated subsidiaries (other than portfolio companies of its affiliated funds), a global investment firm publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “CG”. Refer to the sec.gov website for further information on Carlyle.
TCG BDC SPV LLC (the “SPV”) is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed on January 3, 2013. Prior to the termination of its senior secured credit facility on December 11, 2020, the SPV invested in first and second lien senior secured loans. The SPV is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is consolidated in these unaudited consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation, January 3, 2013. Effective March 15, 2017, the SPV changed its name from “Carlyle GMS Finance SPV LLC” to “TCG BDC SPV LLC”.
On June 26, 2015, the Company completed a $400,000 term debt securitization (the “2015-1 Debt Securitization”). The notes offered in the 2015-1 Debt Securitization (the “2015-1 Notes”) were issued by Carlyle Direct Lending CLO 2015-1R LLC (formerly known as Carlyle GMS Finance MM CLO 2015-1 LLC) (the “2015-1 Issuer”), a wholly owned and
37

consolidated subsidiary of the Company. On August 30, 2018, the 2015-1 Issuer refinanced the 2015-1 Debt Securitization (the “2015-1 Debt Securitization Refinancing”) by redeeming in full the 2015-1 Notes and issuing new notes (the “2015-1R Notes”). The 2015-1R Notes are secured by a diversified portfolio of the 2015-1 Issuer consisting primarily of first and second lien senior secured loans. Refer to Note 7, Borrowings, for details. The 2015-1 Issuer is consolidated in these unaudited consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation, May 8, 2015.
On February 29, 2016, the Company and Credit Partners USA LLC (“Credit Partners”) entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement, which was subsequently amended on June 24, 2016, February 22, 2021, May 16, 2022 and April 20, 2023 (as amended, the “Limited Liability Company Agreement”) to co-manage Middle Market Credit Fund, LLC (“Credit Fund”). Credit Fund primarily invests in first lien loans of middle market companies. Credit Fund is managed by a six-member board of managers, on which the Company and Credit Partners each have equal representation. The Company and Credit Partners each have 50% economic ownership of Credit Fund and have commitments to fund, from time to time, capital of up to $250,000 each. Refer to Note 5, Middle Market Credit Fund, LLC, for details.
On May 5, 2020, the Company issued and sold 2,000,000 shares of cumulative convertible preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), to an affiliate of Carlyle in a private placement at a price of $25 per share. See Note 9, Net Assets, to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information about the Preferred Stock.
On November 3, 2020, the Company and Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (“CCLF”), an investment vehicle managed by Cliffwater LLC, entered into a limited liability company agreement to co-manage Middle Market Credit Fund II, LLC (“Credit Fund II”). Credit Fund II invests in senior secured loans of middle market companies. Credit Fund II is managed by a four-member board of managers, on which the Company and CCLF each have equal representation. The Company and CCLF have approximately 84.13% and 15.87% economic ownership of Credit Fund II, respectively. The Company contributed certain senior secured debt investments with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $250 million to Credit Fund II in exchange for its 84.13% economic interest and gross cash proceeds of approximately $170 million. See Note 6, Middle Market Credit Fund II, LLC, to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for details.
As a BDC, the Company is required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. As part of these requirements, the Company must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the Investment Company Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of its total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions).
To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders generally at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Pursuant to this election, the Company generally does not have to pay corporate level taxes on any income that it distributes to stockholders, provided that the Company satisfies those requirements.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company is an investment company for the purposes of accounting and financial reporting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the SPV and the 2015-1 Issuer. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. U.S. GAAP for an investment company requires investments to be recorded at fair value. The carrying value for all other assets and liabilities approximates their fair value.
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented have been included. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
38

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management’s estimates are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Assumptions and estimates regarding the valuation of investments and their resulting impact on base management and incentive fees involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity and these assumptions and estimates may be significant to the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material.
Investments
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment at the time of exit using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments as presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations reflects the net change in the fair value of investments, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized. See Note 3, Fair Value Measurements, to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information about fair value measurements.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments (e.g., money market funds, U.S. treasury notes) with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held with one large financial institution and cash held in such financial institution may, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company held restricted cash balances of $35,503 and $14,412, respectively, which represent amounts that are collected and held by trustees appointed by the Company for payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings, or reinvestment into new assets, and as custodians of the assets securing certain of the Company's financing transactions. There was no restricted cash balances denominated in a foreign currency as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Revenue Recognition
Interest from Investments
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt investments represents the original cost, including origination fees and upfront fees received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.
The Company may have loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provisions. PIK income represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the loans in the portfolio with PIK provisions was $251,860 and $176,773, respectively, which represents approximately 13.5% and 8.9%, respectively, of total investments at fair value. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company earned $5,417 and $14,321 in PIK income, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company earned $11,146 and $18,595 in PIK income, respectively.
In 2022, the Company separately presented interest receivable and dividend receivable on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In 2023, the amounts are presented collectively on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Prior periods have been conformed to the current presentation.
39

Dividend Income
Dividend income from the investment funds, Credit Fund and Credit Fund II, and other investments funds, if any, is recorded on the record date for the investment fund to the extent that such amounts are payable by the investment funds and are expected to be collected.
Other Income
Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, underwriting, arranger and prepayment fees associated with the Company’s investment activities as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered. The Company may receive fees for guaranteeing the outstanding debt of a portfolio company. Such fees are amortized into other income over the life of the guarantee. The unamortized amount, if any, is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company earned $768 and $2,650, respectively, in other income, primarily from prepayment fees and commitment fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company earned $2,974 and $6,844, respectively, in other income, primarily from underwriting, amendment, and prepayment fees.
Non-Accrual Income
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 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 are current or there is no longer any reasonable doubt that such principal or interest will be collected in full and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may determine not to 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the loans in the portfolio on non-accrual status was $36,600 and $57,932, respectively. The remaining first and second lien debt investments were performing and current on their interest payments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the periods then ended.
Credit Facility, Senior Notes, and 2015-1R Notes – Related Costs, Expenses and Deferred Financing Costs
The Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). Interest expense and unused commitment fees on the Credit Facility are recorded on an accrual basis. Unused commitment fees are included in interest expense and credit facility fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On December 30, 2019, the Company closed a private offering of $115.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due December 31, 2024 (the “2019 Notes”). On December 11, 2020, the Company issued $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Unsecured Notes due December 31, 2024 (the “2020 Notes,” and together with the 2019 Notes, the “Senior Notes”). The Credit Facility, the 2015-1R Notes and the Senior Notes are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value.
Deferred financing costs include capitalized expenses related to the closing or amendments of the Credit Facility. Amortization of deferred financing costs for the Credit Facility is computed on the straight-line basis over its term. The unamortized balance of such costs is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and credit facility fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Debt issuance costs include capitalized expenses including structuring and arrangement fees related to the offering of the 2015-1R Notes and Senior Notes. Amortization of debt issuance costs for the notes is computed on the effective yield method over the term of the notes. The unamortized balance of such costs is presented as a direct deduction to the carrying amount of the notes in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and credit facility fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In 2022, the Company began presenting interest expense and credit facility fees together in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, which had previously been presented as separate financial statement line items. Prior periods have been conformed to the current presentation.

Income Taxes
For federal income tax purposes, the Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code, and intends to make the required distributions to its stockholders as specified therein. In order to qualify as a RIC, the Company must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then the Company is generally required to pay income taxes only on the portion of its taxable income and gains it does not distribute.
The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require the Company to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (“ICTI”), as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.
In addition, based on the excise distribution requirements, the Company is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Company distributes in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in the preceding year. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company that is subject to corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions each taxable year to satisfy the excise distribution requirements as reasonable. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $850 and $2,023 in excise tax expense, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $449 and $978 in excise tax expense, respectively.
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. The SPV and the 2015-1 Issuer are disregarded entities for tax purposes and are consolidated with the tax return of the Company. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes, if any, are included in income tax expense.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Stockholders
To the extent that the Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to make quarterly distributions to its common stockholders. Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be distributed, if any, is determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and is generally based upon the taxable earnings estimated by management and available cash. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

Prior to July 5, 2017, the Company had an “opt in” dividend reinvestment plan. Effective on July 5, 2017, the Company converted the “opt in” dividend reinvestment plan to an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of dividends and other distributions on behalf of the common stockholders, other than those common stockholders who have “opted out” of the plan. As a result of adopting the plan, if the Board of Directors authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend or distribution, the common stockholders who have not elected to “opt out” of the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends or distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving cash. Each registered stockholder may elect to have such stockholder’s dividends and distributions distributed in cash rather than participate in the plan. For any registered stockholder that does not so elect, distributions on such stockholder’s shares will be reinvested by State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Company’s plan administrator, in additional shares. The number of shares to be issued to the stockholder will be determined based on the total dollar amount of the cash distribution payable, net of applicable withholding taxes. The Company intends to use primarily newly issued shares to implement the plan so long as the market value per share is equal to or greater than the net asset value per share on the relevant valuation date. If the market value per share is less than the net asset value per share on the relevant valuation date, the plan administrator would implement the plan through the purchase of common stock on behalf of participants in the open market, unless the Company instructs the plan administrator otherwise.

Functional Currency

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. Investments are generally made in the local currency of the country in which the investments are domiciled and are translated into U.S. Dollars with foreign currency translation gains or losses recorded within net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Foreign currency translation gains and losses on non-investment assets and liabilities are separately reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Earnings Per Common Share
The Company computes earnings per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities.
Recent Accounting Standards Updates
In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. 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 does not expect this guidance to impact its consolidated financial statements.
3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with the terms of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transfer between market participants at the measurement date. Effective September 8, 2022, the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, determines in good faith the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio for which market quotations are not readily available. The Investment Adviser values securities/instruments traded in active markets on the measurement date by multiplying the closing price of such traded securities/instruments by the quantity of shares or amount of the instrument held. The Investment Adviser may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of its investments, such as its securities/instruments traded in active markets and its liquid securities/instruments that are not traded in active markets, from pricing services, brokers, or counterparties (i.e., “consensus pricing”). When doing so, the Investment Adviser determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. The Investment Adviser may use the quote obtained or alternative pricing sources may be utilized including valuation techniques typically utilized for illiquid securities/instruments.

Securities/instruments that are illiquid or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser, does not represent fair value shall each be valued as of the measurement date using all techniques appropriate under the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available. These valuation techniques may vary by investment and include comparable public market valuations, comparable precedent transaction valuations and/or discounted cash flow analyses. The process generally used to determine the applicable value is as follows: (i) the value of each portfolio company or investment is initially reviewed by the investment professionals responsible for such portfolio company or investment and, for non-traded investments, a standardized template designed to approximate fair market value based on observable market inputs, updated credit statistics and unobservable inputs is used to determine a preliminary value, which is also reviewed alongside consensus pricing, where available; (ii) preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and reviewed by a valuation committee comprised of personnel of the Investment Adviser; (iii) the Board of Directors engages a third-party valuation firm to provide positive assurance on portions of the Middle Market Senior Loans and equity investments portfolio each quarter (such that each non-traded investment other than Credit Fund is reviewed by a third-party valuation firm at least once on a rolling twelve month basis) including a review of management’s preliminary valuation and conclusion on fair value; (iv) if applicable, prior to September 8, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) reviewed the assessments of the Investment Adviser and the third-party valuation firm; and (v) if applicable, prior to September 8, 2022, the Board of Directors discussed the valuation recommendations of the Audit Committee and determined the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser and, where applicable, the third-party valuation firm.
All factors that might materially impact the value of an investment are considered, including, but not limited to the assessment of the following factors, as relevant:
 
•the nature and realizable value of any collateral;
•call features, put features and other relevant terms of debt;
•the portfolio company’s leverage and ability to make payments;
•the portfolio company’s public or private credit rating;
42

•the portfolio company’s actual and expected earnings and discounted cash flow;
•prevailing interest rates and spreads for similar securities and expected volatility in future interest rates;
•the markets in which the portfolio company does business and recent economic and/or market events; and
•comparisons to comparable transactions and publicly traded securities.
Investment performance data utilized are the most recently available financial statements and compliance certificates received from the portfolio companies as of the measurement date which in many cases may reflect a lag in information.
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. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference 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 realized gains or losses on investments to be different from the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation currently reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which ranks the level of observability of market price inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment and state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in determination of fair values, as follows:
 
•Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. Financial instruments in this category generally include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets. The Investment Adviser does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
•Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date and are those other than quoted prices in active markets. Financial instruments in this category generally include less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active markets, government and agency securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.
•Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments in this category generally include investments in privately-held entities, collateralized loan obligations, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Investment Adviser’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. Investments in Credit Fund and Credit Fund II are valued based on the legal form of investment. For those structured through LLC membership interests, the practical expedient, or net asset value method, is used. For those structured through subordinated notes, a discounted cash flow method is used.
Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfers occur. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between levels.

The Company generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments that are categorized as Level 3:
Investments in debt securities are initially evaluated to determine whether the enterprise value of the portfolio company is greater than the applicable debt. The enterprise value of the portfolio company is estimated using a market approach and an income approach. The market approach utilizes market value (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The Investment Adviser carefully considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose multiples are used to value the Company’s portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. The income approach typically uses a discounted cash flow analysis of the portfolio company.
Investments in debt securities that do not have sufficient coverage through the enterprise value analysis are valued based on an expected probability of default and discount recovery analysis.
46

Investments in debt securities with sufficient coverage through the enterprise value analysis are generally valued using a discounted cash flow analysis of the underlying security. Projected cash flows in the discounted cash flow typically represent the relevant security’s contractual interest, fees and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the security’s expected maturity date. The discount rate to be used is determined using an average of two market-based methodologies. Investments in debt securities may also be valued using consensus pricing.
Investments in equities are generally valued using a market approach and/or an income approach. The market approach utilizes market value (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The income approach typically uses a discounted cash flow analysis of the portfolio company.
Investments in Credit Fund’s mezzanine loan are valued using collateral analysis with the expected recovery rate of principal and interest. Investments in Credit Fund’s subordinated loan and member’s interest are valued using discounted cash flow analysis with the expected discount rate, default rate and recovery rate of principal and interest.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in first and second lien debt securities are discount rates, indicative quotes and comparable EBITDA multiples. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in equities are discount rates and comparable EBITDA multiples. Significant increases in discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Significant decreases in indicative quotes or comparable EBITDA multiples in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investment in the mezzanine loan of Credit Fund is the recovery rate of principal and interest. A significant decrease in the recovery rate would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in the subordinated loan and member’s interest of Credit Fund are the discount rate, default rate and recovery rate. Significant increases in the discount rate or default rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. A significant decrease in the recovery rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

The carrying values of the secured borrowings generally approximate their respective fair values due to their variable interest rates. Secured borrowings are categorized as Level 3 within the hierarchy.
The carrying values of the Senior Notes approximate their respective fair values. The Senior Notes are categorized as Level 3 within the hierarchy and are valued generally using discounted cash flow analysis. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Senior Notes are discount rates. Significant increases in discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.
The carrying value of the 2015-1R Notes approximate their respective fair values. The 2015-1R Notes are categorized as Level 3 within the hierarchy and are valued generally using market quotation(s) received from broker/dealer(s), which are significant unobservable inputs.
The carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value based on the short term nature of these items.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Investment Advisory Agreement
On April 3, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act (the “Independent Directors”), approved an investment advisory agreement (the “Original Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Company and the Investment Adviser in accordance with, and on the basis of an evaluation satisfactory to such directors as required by, Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act. The Original Investment Advisory Agreement was amended on September 15, 2017 and August 6, 2018 after receipt of requisite Board and stockholders' approvals, as applicable (as amended, the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). Unless terminated earlier, the Investment Advisory Agreement renews automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the vote of the Board of Directors and by the vote of a majority of the Independent Directors. On May 4, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved at an in-person meeting the continuance of the Company’s Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser for an additional one year term. The Investment Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of an assignment and may be terminated by either party without penalty upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the other party. Subject to the overall supervision of the Board of Directors, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Company. For providing these services, the Adviser receives fees from the Company consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee.
The Base Management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed fiscal quarters; provided, however, the Base Management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Company’s gross assets as of the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters that exceeds the product of (A) 200% and (B) the average value of the Company’s net asset value at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. “Gross assets” is determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP, include assets acquired through the incurrence of debt (see Note 7, Borrowings, to these unaudited consolidated financial statements), and excludes cash and any temporary investments in cash-equivalents. For purposes of this calculation, cash and cash equivalents includes U.S. government securities and other high quality investment grade debt investments that mature in 12 months or less from the date of investment. The Base Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears, will be appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during such the applicable fiscal quarters, and will be appropriately pro-rated for any partial month or quarter.
The incentive fee has two parts. The first part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The second part is determined and payable in arrears based on capital gains as of the end of each calendar year.
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 the calendar quarter, minus the operating expenses accrued for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the administration agreement, and any interest expense or fees on any credit facilities or outstanding debt and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature, 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.
49

Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, has been compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.50% per quarter (6% annualized) or a “catch-up rate” of 1.82% per quarter (7.28% annualized), as applicable.
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays its Investment Adviser an incentive fee with respect to its pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:
 
•no incentive fee based on pre-incentive fee net investment income in any calendar quarter in which its pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.50%;
•100% of pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 1.82% in any calendar quarter (7.28% annualized). The Company refers to this portion of the pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 1.82%) as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Investment Adviser with approximately 17.5% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 1.82% in any calendar quarter; and
•17.5% of the amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 1.82% in any calendar quarter (7.28% annualized) will be payable to the Investment Adviser. This reflects that once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 17.5% of all pre-incentive fee net investment income thereafter is allocated to the Investment Adviser.
The second part of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 17.5% of realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the date of determination, computed net of all realized capital losses on a cumulative basis and unrealized capital depreciation, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees, provided that, the incentive fee determined at the end of the first calendar year of operations may be calculated for a period of shorter than twelve calendar months to take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses on a cumulative basis and unrealized capital depreciation.
Below is a summary of the base management fees and incentive fees incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Three months ended September 30,Nine months ended September 30,
2023202220232022
Base management fees$7,080 $7,262 $21,501 $21,425 
Incentive fees on pre-incentive fee net investment income5,530 6,451 16,595 16,137 
Total base management fees and incentive fees$12,610 $13,713 $38,096 $37,562 
Accrued capital gains incentive fees are based upon the cumulative net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from inception. Accordingly, the accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under U.S. GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no accrued or realized capital gains incentive fees.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $12,636 and $12,681, respectively, was included in base management and incentive fees payable in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
On April 3, 2013, the Investment Adviser entered into a personnel agreement with The Carlyle Group Employee Co., L.L.C. (“Carlyle Employee Co.”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, pursuant to which Carlyle Employee Co. provides the Investment Adviser with access to investment professionals.

5. MIDDLE MARKET CREDIT FUND, LLC
Overview
On February 29, 2016, the Company and Credit Partners entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement, which was subsequently amended and restated on June 24, 2016, February 22, 2021, May 16, 2022 and April 20, 2023 (as amended, the “Limited Liability Company Agreement”) to co-manage Credit Fund, a Delaware limited liability company that is not consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Credit Fund primarily invests in
52

first lien loans of middle market companies. Credit Fund is managed by a six-member board of managers, on which the Company and Credit Partners each have equal representation. Establishing a quorum for Credit Fund’s board of managers requires at least four members to be present at a meeting, including at least two of the Company’s representatives and two of Credit Partners’ representatives. The Company and Credit Partners each have 50% economic ownership of Credit Fund and have commitments to fund, from time to time, capital of up to $250,000 each. Funding of such commitments generally requires the approval of the board of Credit Fund, including the board members appointed by the Company. By virtue of its membership interest, the Company and Credit Partners each indirectly bear an allocable share of all expenses and other obligations of Credit Fund.
Together with Credit Partners, the Company co-invests through Credit Fund. Investment opportunities for Credit Fund are sourced primarily by the Company and its affiliates. Portfolio and investment decisions with respect to Credit Fund must be unanimously approved by a quorum of Credit Fund’s investment committee consisting of an equal number of representatives of the Company and Credit Partners. Therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of Credit Fund, the Company does not believe that it has control over Credit Fund (other than for purposes of the Investment Company Act). Middle Market Credit Fund SPV, LLC (the “Credit Fund Sub”) and MMCF Warehouse II, LLC (the “Credit Fund Warehouse II”), each a Delaware limited liability company, were formed on April 5, 2016 and August 16, 2019, respectively. Credit Fund Sub and Credit Fund Warehouse II are wholly owned subsidiaries of Credit Fund and are consolidated in Credit Fund’s consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of their respective formations. Credit Fund Sub primarily invests in first lien loans of middle market companies. Credit Fund and its wholly owned subsidiaries follow the same Internal Risk Rating System as the Company. Refer to “Debt” below in this Note 5 for discussions regarding the credit facility entered into and the notes issued by such wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Credit Fund, the Company and Credit Partners entered into an administration agreement with Carlyle Global Credit Administration L.L.C., the administrative agent of Credit Fund (in such capacity, the “Credit Fund Administrative Agent”), pursuant to which the Credit Fund Administrative Agent is delegated certain administrative and non-discretionary functions, is authorized to enter into sub-administration agreements at the expense of Credit Fund with the approval of the board of managers of Credit Fund, and is reimbursed by Credit Fund for its costs and expenses and Credit Fund’s allocable portion of overhead incurred by the Credit Fund Administrative Agent in performing its obligations thereunder.

6. MIDDLE MARKET CREDIT FUND II, LLC
Overview
On November 3, 2020, the Company and CCLF entered into a limited liability company agreement to co-manage Credit Fund II, a Delaware limited liability company that is not consolidated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Credit Fund II primarily invests in senior secured loans of middle market companies. Credit Fund II is managed by a four-member board, on which the Company and CCLF have equal representation. Establishing a quorum for Credit Fund II's board requires at least one of the Company's representatives and one of CCLF's representatives. The Company and CCLF have 84.13% and 15.87% economic ownership of Credit Fund II, respectively. By virtue of its membership interest, each of the Company and CCLF indirectly bears an allocable share of all expenses and other obligations of Credit Fund II.
Credit Fund II's initial portfolio consisted of 45 senior secured loans of middle market companies with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $250 million. Credit Fund II's initial portfolio was funded on November 3, 2020 with existing senior secured debt investments contributed by the Company and as part of the transaction, the Company determined that the contribution met the requirements under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing.
Credit Fund II is expected to make only limited new investments in senior secured loans of middle market companies. Portfolio and investment decisions with respect to Credit Fund II must be unanimously approved by a quorum of Credit Fund II’s board members consisting of at least one of the Company's representatives and one of CCLF's representatives. Therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of Credit Fund II, the Company does not believe that it has control over Credit Fund II (other than for purposes of the Investment Company Act).
Middle Market Credit Fund II SPV, LLC (“Credit Fund II Sub”), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on September 4, 2020. Credit Fund II Sub is a wholly owned subsidiary of Credit Fund II and is consolidated in Credit Fund II’s consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation. Credit Fund II Sub primarily holds investments in first lien loans of middle market companies, which are pledged as security for the Credit Fund II Senior Notes. Refer to “Credit Fund II Senior Notes” in this Note 6 for discussions regarding the notes issued by Credit Fund II Sub.
Credit Fund II, the Company and CCLF entered into an administration agreement with Carlyle Global Credit Administration L.L.C., the administrative agent of Credit Fund II (in such capacity, the “Credit Fund II Administrative Agent”), pursuant to which the Credit Fund II Administrative Agent is delegated certain administrative and non-discretionary functions, is authorized to enter into sub-administration agreements at the expense of Credit Fund II with the approval of the board of
60

managers of Credit Fund II, and is reimbursed by Credit Fund II for its costs and expenses and Credit Fund II’s allocable portion of overhead incurred by the Credit Fund II Administrative Agent in performing its obligations thereunder.

Amounts drawn under the Credit Facility, including amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit, bear interest at either (i) a term benchmark rate of the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Euribor Rate, or the applicable Local Rate, as the case may be, or (ii) an Alternate Base Rate (which is the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the NYFRB Rate plus 0.50%, or (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for one month plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin, each capitalized term as defined in the Credit Facility. The applicable margin for a term benchmark rate loan will be up to 1.875% and for an Alternate Base Rate loan will be up to 0.875%, in each case depending on the level of the Gross Borrowing Base compared to the Combined Debt Amount. The Company may elect either the term benchmark rate or the Alternative Base Rate at the time of drawdown, and loans may be converted from one rate to another at any time, subject to certain conditions. The Company also pays a fee of 0.375% on undrawn amounts under the Credit Facility and, in respect of each undrawn letter of credit, a fee and interest rate equal to the then-applicable margin under the Credit Facility while the letter of credit is outstanding. The availability period under the Credit Facility will terminate on August 31, 2027 (May 25, 2026 prior to the August 31, 2023 amendment) and the Credit Facility will mature on August 31, 2028 (May 25, 2027 prior to the August 31, 2023 amendment). On May 25, 2026, $135,000 of the $790,000 principal amount will terminate. During the period from May 25, 2026 to August 31, 2028, the Company will be obligated to make mandatory prepayments under the Credit Facility out of the proceeds of certain asset sales, other recovery events and equity and debt issuances.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Facility is secured by a first lien security interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments held by the Company. The Credit Facility includes customary covenants, including certain financial covenants related to asset coverage, shareholders’ equity and liquidity, certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, and other maintenance covenants, as well as usual and customary events of default for senior secured revolving credit facilities of this nature. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of the Credit Facility.

2015-1R Notes
On June 26, 2015, the Company completed the 2015-1 Debt Securitization. The 2015-1 Notes were issued by the 2015-1 Issuer, a wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The 2015-1 Debt Securitization was executed through a private placement of the 2015-1 Notes, consisting of $273,000 in notes that were issued at par and were scheduled to mature on July 15, 2027. The Company received 100% of the $125,900 in nominal value of the non-interest bearing preferred interests issued by the 2015-1 Issuer (the “2015-1 Issuer Preferred Interests”) on the closing date of the 2015-1 Debt Securitization in exchange for the Company’s contribution to the 2015-1 Issuer of the initial closing date loan portfolio. In connection with the contribution, the Company made customary representations, warranties and covenants to the 2015-1 Issuer in the purchase agreement.
On August 30, 2018, the Company and the 2015-1 Issuer closed the 2015-1 Debt Securitization Refinancing. On the closing date of the 2015-1 Debt Securitization Refinancing, the 2015-1 Issuer, refinanced the 2015-1 Notes to the 2015-1R Notes, reduced the 2015-1 Issuer Preferred Interests by approximately $21,375 to approximately $104,525 and extended the reinvestment period end date and maturity date applicable to the 2015-1 Issuer to October 15, 2023 and October 15, 2031, respectively.
On June 30, 2023, the 2015-1R Notes were amended to transition the benchmark rate to the Term SOFR Rate plus a Term SOFR adjustment (LIBOR prior to the 2015-1R Effective Date, as defined). The amendment was effective at the commencement of the next succeeding interest accrual period following the date of the amendment (the “2015-1R Effective Date”).
The 2015-1R Notes consist of:
(a) $234,800 AAA Class A-1-1-R Notes, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus a Term SOFR adjustment and 1.55%;
(b) $50,000 AAA Class A-1-2-R Notes, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus a Term SOFR adjustment and 1.78%;
(c) $25,000 AAA Class A-1-3-R Notes, which bear interest at 4.56%;
(d) $66,000 Class A-2-R Notes, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus a Term SOFR adjustment and 2.20%;
(e) $46,400 single-A Class B Notes which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus a Term SOFR adjustment and 3.15%; and
(f) $27,000 BBB- Class C Notes, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus a Term SOFR adjustment and 4.00%.
Following the 2015-1 Debt Securitization Refinancing, the Company retained the 2015-1 Issuer Preferred Interests. The 2015-1R Notes in the 2015-1 Debt Securitization Refinancing were issued by the 2015-1 Issuer and are secured by a diversified portfolio of the 2015-1 Issuer consisting primarily of first and second lien senior secured loans.
The Company contributed the loans that comprised the initial closing date loan portfolio (including the loans distributed to the Company from the SPV) to the 2015-1 Issuer pursuant to a contribution agreement. Future loan transfers from the Company to the 2015-1 Issuer will be made pursuant to a sale agreement and are subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. Assets of the 2015-1 Issuer are not available to the creditors of the SPV or the Company. In connection with the issuance and sale of the 2015-1R Notes, the Company made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the purchase agreement.
During the reinvestment period, pursuant to the indenture governing the 2015-1R Notes, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by the 2015-1 Issuer to purchase new collateral under the direction of Investment Adviser in its capacity as collateral manager under a collateral management agreement (“the Collateral Management Agreement”) of the 2015-1 Issuer and in accordance with the Company’s investment strategy.
Pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement, the 2015-1 Issuer pays management fees (comprised of base management fees, subordinated management fees and incentive management fees) to the Investment Adviser for rendering collateral management services. As per the Collateral Management Agreement, for the period the Company retains all of the 2015-1 Issuer Preferred Interests, the Investment Adviser does not earn management fees for providing such collateral management services. The Company currently retains all of the 2015-1 Issuer Preferred Interests, thus the Investment Adviser
69

did not earn any management fees from the 2015-1 Issuer for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Any such waived fees may not be recaptured by the Investment Adviser.
Pursuant to an undertaking by the Company in connection with the 2015-1 Debt Securitization Refinancing, the Company has agreed to hold on an ongoing basis the 2015-1 Issuer Preferred Interests with an aggregate dollar purchase price at least equal to 5% of the aggregate outstanding amount of all collateral obligations by the 2015-1 Issuer for so long as any securities of the 2015-1 Issuer remain outstanding. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its undertaking.
As of September 30, 2023, the 2015-1R Notes were secured by 76 first lien and second lien senior secured loans with a total fair value of approximately $550,607 and cash of $35,503. The pool of loans in the securitization must meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, term, agency rating, collateral coverage, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements in the indenture governing the 2015-1R Notes.
The carrying value of the 2015-1R Notes as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is $447,214 and $447,029, respectively. The carrying value is presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1,986 and $2,171 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 the effective annualized weighted average interest rates, which include amortization of debt issuance costs on the 2015-1R Notes, were 7.03% and 3.27%, respectively, based on benchmark rates. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted average interest rates were 7.41% and 6.00%, respectively, based on benchmark rates.

Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, less preferred dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding using the if-converted method for the convertible Preferred Stock. Diluted earnings per share excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were as follows:

Carlyle Secured Lending, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company. We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act and have operated our business as a BDC since we began our investment activities. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. We were formed in February 2012, commenced investment operations in May 2013 and began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, under the symbol “CGBD,” upon completion of our initial public offering in June 2017. Our principal executive offices are located at One Vanderbilt Avenue, Suite 3400, New York, New York 10017.
Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation primarily through assembling a portfolio of secured debt investments in U.S. middle market companies. Our core investment strategy focuses on lending to U.S. middle market companies, which we define as companies with approximately $25 million to $100 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), supported by financial sponsors. This core strategy is opportunistically supplemented with differentiated and complementary lending and investing strategies, which take advantage of the broad capabilities of Carlyle's Global Credit platform while offering risk-diversifying portfolio benefits. We seek to achieve our investment objective primarily through direct origination of secured debt instruments, including first lien senior secured loans (which may include stand-alone first lien loans, first lien/last out loans and “unitranche” loans) and second lien senior secured loans (collectively, “Middle Market Senior Loans”), with a minority of our assets invested in higher yielding investments (which may include unsecured debt, subordinated debt and investments in equities). The Middle Market Senior Loans are generally made to private U.S. middle market companies that are, in many cases, controlled by private equity firms.
We are externally managed by our Investment Adviser, an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Our Administrator provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate. Both our Investment Adviser and our Administrator are wholly owned subsidiaries of Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C., a
80

subsidiary of Carlyle. The Investment Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving our investment opportunities. The members of the Investment Committee include several of the most senior credit professionals within the Global Credit segment, with backgrounds and expertise across multiple asset classes with significant industry experience and tenure. As of September 30, 2023, our Investment Adviser’s investment team included a team of 217 investment professionals across the Carlyle Global Credit segment. The Investment Committee has delegated approval of certain amendments, follow-on investments with existing borrowers, investments below certain size thresholds (existing or new platforms), and other matters as determined by the Investment Committee to the Screening Committee. In addition, our Investment Adviser and its investment team are supported by a team of finance, operations and administrative professionals currently employed by Carlyle Employee Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Carlyle. In conducting our investment activities, we believe that we benefit from the significant scale, relationships and resources of Carlyle, including our Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
KEY COMPONENTS OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Investments
Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt available to middle market companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make.
Revenue
We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments we hold. In addition, we generate income from dividends on direct equity investments, capital gains on the sales of loans and debt and equity securities and various loan origination and other fees. Our debt investments generally have a stated term of five to eight years and generally bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark such as SOFR. Interest on these debt investments is generally paid quarterly. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees.
Expenses
Our primary operating expenses include the payment of: (i) investment advisory fees, including base management fees and incentive fees, to our Investment Adviser pursuant to the investment advisory agreement between us and our Investment Adviser (as amended, the “Investment Advisory Agreement”); (ii) debt service and other costs of borrowings or other financing arrangements; (iii) costs and other expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by our Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement between us and our Administrator; and (iv) other operating expenses summarized below:
 
•administration fees payable under our Administration Agreement and Sub-Administration Agreements, including related expenses;
•the costs of any offerings of our common stock and other securities, if any;
•calculating individual asset values and our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firms);
•expenses, including travel expenses, incurred by our Investment Adviser, or members of our Investment Adviser team managing our investments, or payable to third parties, performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies;
•the allocated costs incurred by our Investment Adviser in providing managerial assistance to those portfolio companies that request it;
•amounts payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, making or holding investments;
•the costs associated with subscriptions to data service, research-related subscriptions and expenses and quotation equipment and services used in making or holding investments;
•transfer agent and custodial fees;
•commissions and other compensation payable to brokers or dealers;
81

•U.S. federal, state and local taxes;
•independent director fees and expenses;
•costs of preparing financial statements and maintaining books and records, costs of preparing tax returns, costs of Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance and attestation and costs of filing reports or other documents with the SEC (or other regulatory bodies), and other reporting and compliance costs, including federal and state registration and any applicable listing fees;
•the costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to our stockholders and the costs of any stockholders’ meetings;
•the costs of specialty and custom software for monitoring risk, compliance and overall portfolio;
•fidelity bond, liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;
•indemnification payments;
•direct fees and expenses associated with independent audits, agency, consulting and legal costs; and
•all other expenses incurred by us or our Administrator in connection with administering our business, including our allocable share of certain officers and their staff compensation.
We expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable or to decline as a percentage of total assets during periods of asset growth and to increase during periods of asset decline.

The weighted average yields(1) for our first lien debt, second lien debt and income producing investments, based on the amortized cost and fair value as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were as follows:
 September 30, 2023December 31, 2022

(1)Weighted average yields include the effect of accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums and are based on interest rates as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Weighted average yield on debt and income producing investments at fair value is computed as (a) the annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of original issue discount (“OID”) and market discount earned, divided by (b) total fair value included in such securities. Weighted average yield on debt and income producing investments at amortized cost is computed as (a) the annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of OID and market discount earned, divided by (b) total amortized cost included in such securities. Actual yields earned over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented above. Effective March 31, 2023,
83

weighted average yields exclude investments placed on non-accrual status. Prior periods were conformed to the current presentation. Inclusive of all debt and income producing investments and investments on non-accrual status, the weighted average yield on amortized cost was 12.3% and 11.4% as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
(2)Income Producing Investments include Credit Fund and Credit Fund II, as well as income producing equity investments.
Total weighted average yields (which includes the effect of accretion of discount and amortization of premiums) of our first lien debt, second lien debt and income producing investments as measured on an amortized cost basis increased from 11.8% as of December 31, 2022 to 12.7% as of September 30, 2023. The increase in weighted average yields was primarily due to the impact of rising benchmark interest rates.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, four and three of our debt investments, respectively, were on non-accrual status. The remaining first and second lien debt investments were performing and current on their interest payments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The following table summarizes the fair value of our performing and non-accrual/non-performing investments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

See the Consolidated Schedules of Investments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on these investments, including a list of companies and type and amount of investments.
As part of the monitoring process, our Investment Adviser has developed risk assessment policies pursuant to which it regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our debt investments and rates each of them based on the following categories, which we refer to as “Internal Risk Ratings”. Pursuant to these risk policies, an Internal Risk Rating of 1 – 5, which are defined below, is assigned to each debt investment in our portfolio. Key drivers of internal risk ratings include financial metrics, financial covenants, liquidity and enterprise value coverage.
Internal Risk Ratings Definitions
Rating  Definition
1  
Borrower is operating above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable.
2  
Borrower is operating generally as expected or at an acceptable level of performance. The level of risk to our initial cost basis is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination. This is the initial risk rating assigned to all new borrowers.
3  
Borrower is operating below expectations and level of risk to our cost basis has increased since the time of origination. The borrower may be out of compliance with debt covenants. Payments are generally current although there may be higher risk of payment default.
4  
Borrower is operating materially below expectations and the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due, but generally not by more than 120 days. It is anticipated that we may not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a loss of our initial cost basis upon exit.
5  
Borrower is operating substantially below expectations and the loan’s risk has increased substantially since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. It is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis upon exit.
Our Investment Adviser monitors and, when appropriate, changes the risk ratings assigned to each debt investment in our portfolio. Our Investment Adviser reviews our investment ratings in connection with our quarterly valuation process. The below table summarizes the Internal Risk Ratings as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

As of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted average Internal Risk Rating of our debt investment portfolio was 2.2. As of September 30, 2023, four of our debt investments, with an aggregate fair value of $36.6 million were assigned an Internal Risk Rating of 4-5.  As of December 31, 2022, three of our debt investments, with an aggregate fair value of $57.9 million were assigned an Internal Risk Rating of 4-5.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The net increase or decrease in net assets from operations may vary substantially from period to period as a result of various factors, including the recognition of realized gains and losses and net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As a result, quarterly comparisons may not be meaningful.
Net Investment Income
Net investment income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:

Three months ended September 30,Nine months ended September 30,
2023202220232022
Total investment income$60,501 $59,143 $178,941 $151,220 
Total expenses (including Excise tax expense)(33,390)(27,990)(98,085)(72,678)
Net investment income (loss)$27,111 $31,153 $80,856 $78,542 
The changes in net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 from the comparable periods in 2022 was primarily driven by the changes discussed below.
Investment Income
Investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows: 
 Three months ended September 30,Nine months ended September 30,
 2023202220232022
Investment income
Interest income$46,040 $37,499 $137,142 $103,209

Other income768 2,974 2,650 6,844 
Total investment income$60,501 $59,143 $178,941 $151,220 
The increase in investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 from the comparable periods in 2022 was primarily driven by an increase in interest income from higher weighted average interest rates, partially offset by a decrease in PIK income from one-time income from restoring our Direct Travel, Inc. debt investments to accrual status. As of September 30, 2023, the size of our portfolio decreased to $1,926,884 from $2,012,187 as of September 30, 2022, at amortized cost. As of September 30, 2023, the weighted average yield of our first and second lien debt investments increased to 12.8% from 10.4% as of September 30, 2022 on amortized cost.
85

Interest and PIK income on our first and second lien debt investments is dependent on the composition and credit quality of the portfolio. Generally, we expect the portfolio to generate predictable quarterly interest income based on the terms stated in each loan’s credit agreement. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, four and two of our debt investments, respectively, were on non-accrual status. Non-accrual investments had a fair value of $36,600 and $37,404, respectively, which represented approximately 2.0% and 1.9% of total investments at fair value, respectively, as of September 30, 2023 and 2022. The remaining first and second lien debt investments were performing and current on their interest payments as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.
The decrease in other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 from the comparable periods in 2022 was primarily driven by lower amendment, underwriting and prepayment fees.
The increase in dividend income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 from the comparable periods in 2022 was primarily driven by an increase in dividends declared by the investment funds as a result of higher net investment income each investment fund earned.
Expenses
Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 comprised the following:

Total base management fees and incentive fees$12,610 $13,713 $38,096 $37,562 
The changes in incentive fees related to pre-incentive fee net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 from the comparable periods in 2022 was driven by differences in the pre-incentive fee net investment income. Base management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 remained consistent with the comparable periods in 2022.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no accrued capital gains incentive fees based upon the cumulative net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of September 30, 2023 and 2022. The accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. See Note 4, Related Party Transactions, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on the incentive and base management fees.

The increase in interest expense and credit facility fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the comparable periods in 2022 was primarily driven by higher weighted average interest rates due to higher benchmark rates.
Professional fees include legal, rating agencies, audit, tax, valuation, technology and other professional fees incurred related to the management of the Company. Administrative service fees represent fees paid to the Administrator for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers and their respective staff. Other general and administrative expenses include insurance, filing, research, subscriptions and other costs.

The net realized loss on our investments for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by sales to Credit Fund II. The net realized loss on our investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by the exit of our investment in DermaRite and the restructuring of PPT Management Holdings. Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in our investments for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by the tightening of market yields. Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in our investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by the performance of our investment in American Physician Partners offset by the reversal of prior period unrealized losses on our investment in DermaRite and Bayside OPCP (formerly PPT Management). Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is also driven by changes in other inputs utilized under our valuation methodology, including, but not limited to, enterprise value multiples, borrower leverage multiples and borrower ratings, and the impact of exits.
Middle Market Credit Fund, LLC (“Credit Fund”)
On February 29, 2016, we and Credit Partners entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement, which was subsequently amended and restated on June 24, 2016 and February 22, 2021, May 16, 2022 and April 20, 2023 (as amended, the “Limited Liability Company Agreement”) to co-manage Credit Fund, a Delaware limited liability company that is not consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. Credit Fund is managed by a six-member board of managers, on which we and Credit Partners each have equal representation. We and Credit Partners each have 50% economic ownership of Credit Fund and have commitments to fund, from time to time, capital of up to $250,000 each. Funding of such commitments generally requires the approval of the board of Credit Fund, including the board members appointed by us. By virtue of our respective membership interests, we and Credit Partners each indirectly bear an allocable share of all expenses and other obligations of Credit Fund.
88

Credit Fund primarily invests in first lien loans of middle market companies sourced primarily by us and our affiliates. Portfolio and investment decisions with respect to Credit Fund must be unanimously approved by a quorum of Credit Fund’s investment committee consisting of an equal number of representatives of us and Credit Partners. Therefore, although we own more than 25% of the voting securities of Credit Fund, we do not believe that we have control over Credit Fund (other than for purposes of the Investment Company Act). Middle Market Credit Fund SPV, LLC (“Credit Fund Sub”), MMCF CLO 2017-1 LLC (the “2017-1 Issuer”) and MMCF Warehouse II, LLC (“Credit Fund Warehouse II”), each a Delaware limited liability company are wholly owned subsidiaries of Credit Fund and are consolidated in Credit Fund’s consolidated financial statements.
Since inception of Credit Fund and through September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we and Credit Partners each made capital contributions of $1 in members’ equity and $216,000 in subordinated loans to Credit Fund. On May 25, 2021, the Company and Credit Partners received an aggregate return of capital on the subordinated loans of $46,000, of which the Company received $23,000. The cost and fair value of our investment in Credit Fund was $193,001 and $184,527, respectively, as of September 30, 2023 and $193,001 and $190,065, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.
Our portion of the dividend declared by Credit Fund was $5,500 and $5,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our portion of the dividend declared by Credit Fund was $16,500 and $15,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our annualized dividend yield from Credit Fund was 11.4%.

Middle Market Credit Fund II, LLC (“Credit Fund II”)
On November 3, 2020, we and Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund (“CCLF”) entered into a limited liability company agreement to co-manage Credit Fund II, a Delaware limited liability company that is not consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. Credit Fund II is managed by a four-member board, on which we and CCLF have equal representation. We and CCLF have 84.13% and 15.87% economic ownership of Credit Fund II, respectively. By virtue of our respective membership interests, we and CCLF each indirectly bear an allocable share of all expenses and other obligations of Credit Fund II.
Credit Fund II primarily invests in senior secured loans of middle market companies. Credit Fund II's initial portfolio was funded in November 2020 with existing senior secured debt investments contributed by us and as part of the transaction, we determined that the contribution met the requirements under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. Credit Fund II is expected to make only limited new investments in senior secured loans of middle market companies. Portfolio and investment decisions with respect to Credit Fund II must be unanimously approved by a quorum of Credit Fund II’s board members consisting of at least one of our representatives and one of CCLF's representatives. Therefore, although we own more than 25% of the voting securities of Credit Fund II, we do not believe that we have control over Credit Fund (other than for purposes of the Investment Company Act). Middle Market Credit Fund II SPV, LLC (“Credit Fund II Sub”), a Delaware limited liability company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Credit Fund II and is consolidated in Credit Fund II’s consolidated financial statements.
Since inception of Credit Fund II and through September 30, 2023, we and CCLF made capital contributions of $78,096 and $12,709 in members’ equity, respectively, to Credit Fund II. The cost and fair value of our investment in Credit Fund II was $78,096 and $66,888, respectively, as of September 30, 2023 and $78,096 and $72,957, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.
Our portion of the dividend declared by Credit Fund II was $2,776 and $2,524 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our portion of the dividend declared by Credit Fund II was $8,328 and $7,572 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our annualized dividend yield from Credit Fund II was 14.2%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We generate cash from the net proceeds of offerings of our common stock and through cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments as well as income earned on investments and cash equivalents. We may also fund a portion of our investments through borrowings under the Credit Facility, as defined below, the issuance of debt, and through securitization of a portion of our existing investments. The primary use of existing funds and any funds raised in the future is expected to be for investments in portfolio companies, repayment of indebtedness, cash distributions to our stockholders, repurchases of our common stock and for other general corporate purposes. We believe our current cash position, available capacity on our revolving credit facilities – which is well in excess of our unfunded commitments – and net cash provided by operating activities will provide us with sufficient resources to meet our obligations and continue to support our investment objectives, including reserving for the capital needs which may arise at our portfolio companies.
Credit Facility, Senior Notes, and 2015-1R Notes
On March 21, 2014, we closed on a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), as amended from time to time. The maximum principal amount of the Credit Facility is $790,000, ($745,000 prior to the August 31, 2023 amendment, and $688,000 prior to April 21, 2023) pursuant to the terms of the agreement, subject to availability under the Credit Facility, which is based on certain advance rates multiplied by the value of the Company’s portfolio investments (subject to certain concentration limitations) net of certain other indebtedness that the Company may incur in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility. Proceeds of the Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of portfolio investments. Maximum capacity under the Credit Facility may be increased, subject to certain conditions, to $1,185,000 ($900,000 prior to the August 31, 2023 amendment) through the exercise by the Company of an uncommitted accordion feature through which existing and new lenders may, at their option, agree to provide additional financing. The Credit Facility includes a $50,000 limit for swingline loans and a $20,000 limit for letters of credit. Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Facility is secured by a first lien security interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments held by the Company. The Credit Facility includes customary covenants, including certain financial covenants related to asset coverage, shareholders’ equity and liquidity, certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, and other maintenance covenants, as well as usual and customary events of default for senior secured revolving credit facilities of this nature.
On December 30, 2019, we closed a private offering of $115.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due December 31, 2024 (the “2019 Notes”). On December 11, 2020, we issued an additional $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due December 31, 2024 (the “2020 Notes,” together with the 2019 Notes, the “Senior Notes”). The 2020 Notes bear interest at an interest rate of 4.50%. We paid an affiliate of Carlyle a fee of $562 for underwriting services rendered in connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes in the amount of 0.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes. The interest rates of the Senior Notes are subject to increase (up to an additional 1.00% over the stated rate of such notes) in the event, subject to certain exceptions, the Senior Notes cease to have an investment grade rating. The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company. For more information on the Senior Notes, see Note 7, Borrowings, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On June 26, 2015, we completed the 2015-1 Debt Securitization, which was refinanced on August 30, 2018 (the “2015-1 Debt Securitization Refinancing”) by redeeming in full the 2015-1 Notes and issuing new notes (the “2015-1R Notes”). The 2015-1R Notes were issued by Carlyle Direct Lending CLO 2015-1R LLC (the “2015-1 Issuer”), a wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary of us. The 2015-1R Notes are secured by a diversified portfolio of the 2015-1 Issuer consisting primarily of first and second lien senior secured loans.
91

On June 30, 2023, the 2015-1R Notes were amended to transition the benchmark rate to the Term SOFR Rate plus a Term SOFR adjustment (LIBOR prior to the 2015-1R Effective Date, as defined). The amendment is effective at the commencement of the next succeeding interest accrual period following the date of the amendment (the “2015-1R Effective Date”).
The 2015-1R Notes consist of:
(a) $234,800 AAA Class A-1-1-R Notes, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus a Term SOFR adjustment and 1.55%;
(b) $50,000 AAA Class A-1-2-R Notes, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus a Term SOFR adjustment and 1.78% thereafter;
(c) $25,000 AAA Class A-1-3-R Notes, which bear interest at 4.56%;
(d) $66,000 Class A-2-R Notes, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus a Term SOFR adjustment and 2.20%;
(e) $46,400 single-A Class B Notes, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus a Term SOFR adjustment and 3.15%;
(f) $27,000 BBB- Class C Notes, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus a Term SOFR adjustment and 4.00%.
The Company received 100% of the $125,900 in nominal value of the non-interest bearing preferred interests issued by the 2015-1 Issuer (the “2015-1 Issuer Preferred Interests”) on the closing date of the 2015-1 Debt Securitization in exchange for the Company’s contribution to the 2015-1 Issuer of the initial closing date loan portfolio. Following the 2015-1 Debt Securitization Refinancing, the 2015-1 Issuer Preferred Interests were reduced by approximately $21,375 to approximately $104,525.
The 2015-1R Notes have a reinvestment period end date and maturity date of October 15, 2023 and October 15, 2031, respectively. In connection with the initial financing, we have made customary representations, warranties and covenants to the 2015-1 Issuer. The Class A-1-1-R, Class A-1-2-R, Class A-1-3-R, Class A-2-R, Class B and Class C Notes are included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The 2015-1 Issuer Preferred Interests were eliminated in consolidation. For more information on the 2015-1R Notes, see Note 7, Borrowing, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $55,218 and $30,506, respectively, in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Credit Facility consisted of the following as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $1,005,456 and $1,079,641, respectively, of outstanding consolidated indebtedness under the Credit Facility, the 2015-1R Notes and the Senior Notes. Our annualized interest cost as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was 6.82% and 5.78%, excluding fees (such as fees on undrawn amounts and amortization of upfront fees). For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $18,222 and $11,937, respectively, of interest expense and credit facility fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $53,376 and $28,723, respectively, of interest expense and credit facility fees.
Our Credit Facility, the Senior Notes and the 2015-1R Notes impose financial and operating covenants that restrict our business activities, and provide for remedies on default and similar matters. As of September 30, 2023, we were in material compliance with the operating and financial covenants of our Credit Facility, the Senior Notes and the 2015-1R Notes. Although we believe we will continue to be in material compliance, we cannot assure you that we will continue to comply with the covenants in our Credit Facility, the Senior Notes and the 2015-1R Notes. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default. If we were unable to obtain a waiver of a default from the lenders or holders of that indebtedness, as applicable, those lenders or holders could accelerate repayment under that indebtedness, which may result in cross-acceleration of other indebtedness, and thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, to the extent that we cannot meet our financing obligations, we risk the loss of some or all of our assets to liquidation or sale to satisfy the obligations. In such an event, we may be forced to sell assets at significantly depressed prices due to market conditions or otherwise, which may result in losses.
Equity Activity
Common shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were 50,794,941 and 51,060,136, respectively.

Our Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to $25 per share (the “Liquidation Preference”) plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends up to but excluding the date of distribution. Dividends on our Preferred Stock are payable on a quarterly basis in an initial amount equal to 7.00% per annum of the Liquidation Preference per share, payable in cash, or at our option, 9.00% per annum of the Liquidation Preference payable in additional shares of Preferred Stock.
The Preferred Stock is convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder of the Preferred Stock into the number of shares of common stock equal to the Liquidation Preference plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends, divided by an initial conversion price of $9.50, subject to certain adjustments to prevent dilution as set forth in the Company's articles supplementary (the “Articles Supplementary”). The conversion price as of September 30, 2023 was $9.15. Effective as of May 5, 2023, the Company, with the approval of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, has the option to redeem all of the Preferred Stock for cash consideration equal to the Liquidation Preference plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to convert all or a portion of their shares of Preferred Stock prior to the date fixed for such redemption. Effective as of May 5, 2027, the holders of the Preferred Stock have the option to require the Company to redeem any or all of the then-outstanding Preferred Stock upon 90 days’ notice. The form of consideration used in any such redemption is at the option of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, and may be cash consideration equal to the Liquidation Preference plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends, or shares of common stock. Holders also have the right to redeem the Preferred Stock upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Articles Supplementary).

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. Future events could occur which may give rise to liabilities arising from these provisions against us. We believe that the likelihood of such an event is remote; however, the maximum potential exposure is unknown. No accrual has been made in these consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for any such exposure.
We have in the past, currently are and may in the future become obligated to fund commitments such as revolving credit facilities, bridge financing commitments, or delayed draw commitments.
We had the following unfunded commitments to fund delayed draw and revolving senior secured loans as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

 September 30, 2023December 31, 2022

Total unfunded commitments$141,668 $158,206 
Pursuant to an undertaking by us in connection with the 2015-1 Debt Securitization, we agreed to hold on an ongoing basis the 2015-1 Issuer Preferred Interests with an aggregate dollar purchase price at least equal to 5% of the aggregate outstanding amount of all collateral obligations by the 2015-1 Issuer for so long as any securities of the 2015-1 Issuer remains outstanding. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with this undertaking.
ASSET COVERAGE
In accordance with the Investment Company Act, a BDC is only allowed to borrow amounts such that its “asset coverage,” as defined in the Investment Company Act, satisfies the minimum asset coverage ratio specified in the Investment Company Act after such borrowing. “Asset coverage” generally refers to a company’s total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by “senior securities,” as defined in the Investment Company Act, divided by total senior
95

securities representing indebtedness and, if applicable, preferred stock. “Senior securities” for this purpose includes borrowings from banks or other lenders, debt securities and preferred stock.
Prior to March 23, 2018, BDCs were required to maintain a minimum asset coverage ratio of 200%. On March 23, 2018, an amendment to Section 61(a) of the Investment Company Act was signed into law to permit BDCs to reduce the minimum asset coverage ratio from 200% to 150%, so long as certain approval and disclosure requirements are satisfied. Under the 200% minimum asset coverage ratio, BDCs are permitted to borrow up to one dollar for investment purposes for every one dollar of investor equity, and under the 150% minimum asset coverage ratio, BDCs are permitted to borrow up to two dollars for investment purposes for every one dollar of investor equity. In other words, Section 61(a) of the Investment Company Act, as amended, permits BDCs to potentially increase their debt-to-equity ratio from a maximum of 1 to 1 to a maximum of 2 to 1.
On April 9, 2018 and June 6, 2018, the Board of Directors, including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the Investment Company Act), and the stockholders of the Company, respectively, approved the application to the Company of the 150% minimum asset coverage ratio set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act. As a result, the minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to the Company was reduced from 200% to 150%, effective as of June 7, 2018.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had total senior securities of $1,055,456 and $1,129,641, respectively, consisting of secured borrowings under the Credit Facility, the Senior Notes, the 2015-1R Notes, and the Preferred Stock, and had asset coverage ratios of 181.14% and 176.79%, respectively.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information currently available to us and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. There have been no material changes in the critical accounting estimates since those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in the valuations of our investment portfolio and interest rates.
Valuation Risk
Our investments may not have a readily available market price, Our Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, values our investments for which market quotations are not readily available in good faith at fair value in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. 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 our investments may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is possible that the difference could be material.
Interest Rate Risk
As of September 30, 2023, on a fair value basis, approximately 1.2% of our debt investments bear interest at a fixed rate and approximately 98.8% of our debt investments bear interest at a floating rate, which primarily are subject to interest rate floors. Interest rates on the investments held within our portfolio of investments are typically based on floating SOFR, with many of these investments also having a reference rate floor. Additionally, our Credit Facility is also subject to floating interest rates and is currently paid based on floating SOFR rates.
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. There can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our income in the future.
The following table estimates the potential changes in net cash flow generated from interest income, should interest rates increase or decrease by 100, 200 or 300 basis points. Interest income is calculated as revenue from interest generated from our settled portfolio of debt investments held as of September 30, 2023. These hypothetical interest income calculations are based on a model of the settled debt investments in our portfolio, excluding structured finance obligations and our investments in Credit Fund and Credit Fund II, held as of September 30, 2023, and are only adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates and the impact of that change on interest income. Interest expense is calculated based on outstanding secured borrowings and notes payable as of September 30, 2023 and based on the terms of our Credit Facility and notes payable. Interest expense on our Credit Facility and notes payable is calculated using the stated interest rate as of September 30, 2023, adjusted for the hypothetical changes in rates, as shown below. We intend to continue to finance a portion of our investments with borrowings and the interest rates paid on our borrowings may significantly impact our net interest income.
We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.
Based on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2023, the following table shows the annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates for our settled debt investments (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments), excluding our investments in Credit Fund and Credit Fund II, and outstanding secured borrowings and notes payable assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them of material information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(2)On November 2, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved the continuation of the Company's Stock Repurchase Program until November 5, 2024, or until the date the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase shares. On August 1, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved to increase the size of the Company’s Stock Repurchase Program by $50 million to $200 million. Pursuant to the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $200 million in the aggregate of the Company's outstanding stock in the open market and/or through privately negotiated transactions at prices not to exceed the Company’s net asset value per share as reported in its most recent financial statements, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company, in its discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, available cash, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors, and may include purchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and there can be no assurance as to the amount of shares repurchased under the program. The program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued by the Company at any time, subject to applicable law. Pursuant to the authorization described above, the Company adopted a 10b5-1 plan (the “Company 10b5-1 Plan”). The Company 10b5-1 Plan provides that purchases will be conducted on the open market in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act and will otherwise be subject to applicable law, which may prohibit purchases under certain circumstances. The amount of purchases made under the Company 10b5-1 Plan or otherwise and how much will be purchased at any time is uncertain, dependent on prevailing market prices and trading volumes, all of which we cannot predict. The Company's Stock Repurchase Program was originally approved by the Company's Board of Directors on November 5, 2018 and announced on November 6, 2018.
