NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
SLR Investment Corp. (the “Company”, “SLRC”, “we”, “us” or “our”), a Maryland corporation formed in November 2007, is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Furthermore, as the Company is an investment company, it continues to apply the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
On February 9, 2010, the Company priced its initial public offering, selling 5.68 million shares of common stock, including the underwriters’ over-allotment, at a price of $18.50 per share. Concurrent with this offering, the Company’s senior management purchased an additional 600,000 shares through a private placement, also at $18.50 per share.
The Company’s investment objective is to maximize both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company directly and indirectly invests primarily in leveraged middle market companies in the form of senior secured loans, financing leases and, to a lesser extent, unsecured loans and equity securities. From time to time, we may also invest in public companies that are thinly traded.
On April 1, 2022, we acquired SLR Senior Investment Corp., a Maryland corporation (“SUNS”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of December 1, 2021, by and among us, SUNS, Solstice Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, SLR Capital Partners, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into SUNS, with SUNS continuing as the surviving company and as SUNS’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”) and, immediately thereafter, SUNS merged with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving company (together with the Merger, the “Mergers”). In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of SUNS’s common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.7796 shares of our common stock (with SUNS’s stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock). As a result of the Mergers, we issued an aggregate of 12,511,825 shares of our common stock to former SUNS stockholders.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, as appropriate. Accordingly, they may not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2024.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of consolidated financial statements, have been included.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Company are:
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value under GAAP, the Board has approved a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
30
The valuation principles set forth above may be modified from time to time, in whole or in part, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Board will also (1) periodically assess and manage valuation risks; (2) establish and apply fair value methodologies; (3) test fair value methodologies; (4) oversee and evaluate third-party pricing services, as applicable; (5) oversee the reporting required by Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act; and (6) maintain recordkeeping requirements under Rule 2a-5.
Investments in all asset classes are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. However, in accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that qualify as investment companies in accordance with ASC 946 may be valued using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation approaches to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, our principal market (as the reporting entity) and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, there has been no change to the Company’s valuation approaches or techniques and the nature of the related inputs considered in the valuation process.
ASC Topic 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by the Company at the measurement date.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The exercise of judgment is based in part on our knowledge of the asset class and our prior experience.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
32
Note 3. Agreements
The Company has an investment advisory and management agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser, under which the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives a fee from the Company, consisting of two components—a base management fee and a performance-based incentive fee. On April 1, 2022, in connection with the consummation of the Mergers, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which the Investment Adviser voluntarily agreed to a permanent 25 basis point reduction of the annual base management fee rate payable by us to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. Following the Letter Agreement, the base management fee is now determined by taking the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% on gross assets up to 200% of the Company’s total net assets as of the immediately preceding quarter end and 1.00% on gross assets that exceed 200% of the Company’s total net assets as of the immediately preceding quarter end. For purposes of computing the base management fee, gross assets exclude temporary assets acquired at the end of each fiscal quarter for purposes of preserving investment flexibility in the next fiscal quarter. Temporary assets include, but are not limited to, U.S. Treasury bills, other short-term U.S. government or government agency securities, repurchase agreements or cash borrowings.
The performance-based incentive fee has two parts, as follows: one part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, 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 we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (as defined below), and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the performance-based incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains or losses, or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. 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, is compared to the hurdle rate of 1.75% per quarter (7% annualized). The Company pays the Investment Adviser a performance-based incentive fee with respect to the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no performance-based incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate; (2) 100% of the Company’s 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 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter. These calculations are appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months.
The second part of the performance-based incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 20% of the Company’s cumulative realized capital gains less cumulative realized capital losses, unrealized capital depreciation (unrealized depreciation on a gross investment-by-investment basis at the end of each calendar year) and all net capital gains upon which prior performance-based capital gains incentive fee payments were previously made to the Investment Adviser. For financial statement purposes, the second part of the performance-based incentive fee is accrued based upon 20% of cumulative net realized gains and net unrealized capital appreciation. No accrual was required for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $7,875 and $15,757, respectively, in base management fees and $6,068 and $12,020, respectively, in performance-based incentive fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, $44 and $90, respectively, of such performance-based incentive fees were waived. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $7,878 and $15,584, respectively, in base management fees and $5,638 and $11,147, respectively, in performance-based incentive fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, $125 and $235, respectively, of such performance-based incentive fees were waived. The Investment Adviser has agreed to waive incentive fees resulting from income earned due to the accretion of purchase discounts allocated to investments acquired as a result of the Mergers. Fees waived pursuant to the above are not subject to recoupment by the Investment Adviser.
The Company has also entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with SLR Capital Management, LLC (the “Administrator”) under which the Administrator provides administrative services to the Company. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Company reimburses the Administrator for the Company’s allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement,
including rent. The Administrator will also provide, on the Company’s behalf, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which the Company is required to provide such assistance. The Company typically reimburses the Administrator on a quarterly basis.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized expenses under the Administration Agreement of $1,376 and $2,752, respectively. No managerial assistance fees were accrued or collected for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized expenses under the Administration Agreement of $1,480 and $2,988, respectively. No managerial assistance fees were accrued or collected for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Note 4. Net Asset Value Per Share
At June 30, 2024, the Company’s total net assets and net asset value per share were $993,003 and $18.20, respectively. This compares to total net assets and net asset value per share at December 31, 2023 of $986,639 and $18.09, respectively.
Note 5. Earnings Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net increase in net assets per share resulting from operations, pursuant to ASC 260-10, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Note 6. Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuations used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:
Level 3. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s and, if applicable, an independent third-party valuation firm’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3).
Gains and losses for assets and liabilities categorized within the Level 3 table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).
A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications involving Level 3 assets and liabilities are reported as transfers in/out of Level 3 as of the end of the quarter in which the reclassifications occur. Within the fair value hierarchy tables below, cash and cash equivalents are excluded but could be classified as Level 1.
The following tables present the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

* In accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that are measured using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The portfolio investment in this category is SSLP (as defined below). See Note 17 for more information on this investment, including its investment strategy and the Company’s unfunded equity commitment to SSLP. This investment is not redeemable by the Company absent an election by the members of the entity to liquidate all investments and distribute the proceeds to the members.

Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The Company typically determines the fair value of its performing debt investments utilizing a yield analysis. In a yield analysis, a price is ascribed for each investment based upon an assessment of current and expected market yields for similar investments and risk profiles. Additional consideration is given to current contractual interest rates, relative maturities and other key terms and risks associated with an investment. Among other factors, a significant determinant of risk is the amount of leverage used by the portfolio company relative to the total enterprise value of the company, and the rights and remedies of our investment within each portfolio company.
Significant unobservable quantitative inputs typically used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Level 3 assets and liabilities primarily reflect current market yields, including indices, and readily available quotes from brokers, dealers, and pricing services as indicated by comparable assets and liabilities, as well as enterprise values, returns on equity and earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples of similar companies, and comparable market transactions for equity securities.

On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into an assumption agreement (the “CF Assumption Agreement”), effective as of the closing of the Mergers. The CF Assumption Agreement relates to the Company’s assumption of the revolving credit facility, originally entered into on August 26, 2011 (as amended from time to time, the “SPV Credit Facility”), by and among SUNS SPV LLC (the “SUNS SPV”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SUNS, acting as borrower, Citibank, N.A., acting as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other parties thereto. Currently, subsequent to an August 29, 2023 amendment, the commitment under the SPV Credit Facility is $275,000; however, the commitment can also be expanded up to $600,000. The stated interest rate on the SPV Credit Facility is SOFR plus 2.00%-2.50% with no SOFR floor requirement, and the current final maturity date, effective with a May 23, 2024 amendment, is September 1, 2026. The SPV Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets held by SUNS SPV. Under the terms of the SPV Credit Facility and related transaction documents, the Company, as successor to SUNS, and SUNS SPV, as applicable, have made certain customary representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants, including leverage restrictions, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. The SPV Credit Facility also includes usual and customary events of default for credit facilities of this nature. At June 30, 2024, outstanding USD equivalent borrowings under the SPV Credit Facility totaled $187,850.
On December 28, 2021, the Company closed on Amendment No. 1 to its August 28, 2019 senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”). Following the amendment, a $25,000 November 2022 upsizing and a $40,000 August 2023 commitment expiration, the Credit Facility is now composed of $585,000 of revolving credit and $100,000 of term loans. Borrowings generally bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a range of 1.75%-2.00% or the alternate base rate plus 0.75%-1.00%. The Credit Facility has a 0% floor, matures in December 2026 and includes ratable amortization in the final year. The Credit Facility may be increased up to $800,000 with additional new lenders or an increase in commitments from current lenders. The Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. In addition, the Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a minimum stockholder’s equity and a minimum asset coverage ratio. At June 30, 2024, outstanding USD equivalent borrowings under the Credit Facility totaled $501,000, composed of $401,000 of revolving credit and $100,000 of term loans.
Certain covenants on our issued debt may restrict our business activities, including limitations that could hinder our ability to finance additional loans and investments or to make the distributions required to maintain our status as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.
The average annualized interest cost for all borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 was 6.04% and 5.88%, respectively.

From time to time, the Company may become a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of its business. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, management is not aware of any material pending or threatened litigation that would require accounting recognition or financial statement disclosure.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, SLR Business Credit had net income of $2,324 and $1,414 respectively, on gross income of $10,437 and $8,827, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, SLR Business Credit had net income of $5,505 and $3,431 respectively, on gross income of $21,605 and $18,159, respectively. Due to timing and non-cash items, there may be material differences between GAAP net income and cash available for distributions. As such, and subject to fluctuations in SLR Business Credit’s funded commitments, the timing of originations, and the repayments of financings, the Company cannot guarantee that SLR Business Credit will be able to maintain consistent dividend payments to us.
Note 16. Stock Repurchase Program
On May 7, 2024, our Board authorized an extension of a program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $50,000 of our outstanding shares of common stock. Under the repurchase program, we may, but are not obligated to, repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time provided that we comply with our code of ethics and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), including certain price, market volume and timing constraints. In addition, any repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the 1940 Act. Unless further amended or extended by our Board, we expect the repurchase program to be in place until the earlier of May 7, 2025 or until $50,000
of our outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased. The timing and number of additional shares to be repurchased will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions. There are no assurances that we will engage in any repurchases beyond what is reported herein. There were no share repurchases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 746 shares at an average price of approximately $14.02 per share, inclusive of commissions. The total dollar amount of shares repurchased for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 was $10.

Note 17. SLR Senior Lending Program LLC
On October 12, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement with Sunstone Senior Credit L.P. (the “Investor”) to create a joint venture vehicle, SLR Senior Lending Program LLC (“SSLP”). SSLP is expected to invest primarily in senior secured cash flow loans. The Company and the Investor each have made initial equity commitments of $50,000, resulting in a total equity commitment of $100,000. Investment decisions and all material decisions in respect of SSLP must be approved by representatives of the Company and the Investor.
On December 1, 2022, SSLP commenced operations. On December 12, 2022, SSLP, as servicer, and SLR Senior Lending Program SPV LLC (“SSLP SPV”), a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of SSLP, as borrower, entered into a $100,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “SSLP Facility”) with Goldman Sachs Bank USA acting as administrative agent. On October 20, 2023, the SSLP Facility was expanded to $150,000. Effective with an amendment on March 25, 2024, the SSLP Facility is scheduled to mature on December 12, 2028 and generally bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus 2.90%. SSLP and SSLP SPV, as applicable, have made certain customary representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants, including leverage restrictions, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. The SSLP Facility also includes usual and customary events of default for credit facilities of this nature. At June 30, 2024, there were $135,800 of borrowings outstanding on the SSLP Facility.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company and the Investor had contributed combined equity capital in the amount of $95,750 and $85,750, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company and the Investor’s combined remaining commitments to SSLP totaled $4,250 and $14,250, respectively. The Company, along with the Investor, controls the funding of SSLP, and SSLP may not call the unfunded commitments of the Company or the Investor without the approval of both the Company and the Investor.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, SSLP had total assets of $236,966 and $195,868, respectively. For the same periods, SSLP’s portfolio consisted of floating rate senior secured loans to 39 and 32 different borrowers, respectively.

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
SLR Investment Corp.:
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of SLR Investment Corp. (and subsidiaries) (the Company), including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 27, 2024, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2023, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Overview
SLR Investment Corp. (the “Company”, “SLRC”, “we” or “our”), a Maryland corporation formed in November 2007, is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Furthermore, as the Company is an investment company, it continues to apply the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946. In addition, for U.S federal income tax purposes, the Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
On February 9, 2010, we priced our initial public offering, selling 5.68 million shares of our common stock. Concurrent with our initial public offering, Michael S. Gross, our Chairman, Co-Chief Executive Officer and President, and Bruce Spohler, our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, collectively purchased an additional 0.6 million shares of our common stock through a private placement transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
We invest primarily in privately held U.S. middle-market companies, where we believe the supply of primary capital is limited and the investment opportunities are most attractive. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in leveraged middle-market companies in the form of senior secured loans, financing leases and to a lesser extent, unsecured loans and equity securities. From time to time, we may also invest in public companies that are thinly traded. Our business is focused primarily on the direct origination of investments through portfolio companies or their financial sponsors. Our investments generally range between $5 million and $100 million each, although we expect that this investment size will vary proportionately with the size of our capital base and/or with strategic initiatives. Our investment activities are managed by the Investment Adviser and supervised by our board of directors (the “Board”), a majority of whom are non-interested, as such term is defined in the 1940 Act. SLR Capital Management, LLC (the “Administrator”) provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate.
In addition, we may invest a portion of our portfolio in other types of investments, which we refer to as opportunistic investments, which are not our primary focus but are intended to enhance our overall returns. These investments may include, but are not limited to, direct investments in public companies that are not thinly traded and securities of leveraged companies located in select countries outside of the United States.
Recent Developments
Investments
Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least
53
70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” The definition of “eligible portfolio company” includes certain public companies that do not have any securities listed on a national securities exchange and companies whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million.
Revenue
We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest and dividend income from the securities we hold and capital gains, if any, on investment securities that we may sell. Our debt investments generally have a stated term of three to seven years and typically bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), commercial paper rate, or the prime rate. Interest on our debt investments is generally payable monthly or quarterly but may be bi-monthly or semi-annually. In addition, our investments may provide payment-in-kind (“PIK”) income. Such amounts of accrued PIK income are added to the cost of the investment on the respective capitalization dates and generally become due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and, if applicable, consulting fees, etc.
Expenses
All investment professionals of the Investment Adviser and their respective staffs, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory and management services, and the compensation and routine overhead expenses of such personnel allocable to such services, are provided and paid for by the Investment Adviser. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including (without limitation):
54
We expect our general and administrative operating expenses related to our ongoing operations to increase moderately in dollar terms. During periods of asset growth, we generally expect our general and administrative operating expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets and increase during periods of asset declines. Incentive fees, interest expense and costs relating to future offerings of securities, among others, may also increase or reduce overall operating expenses based on portfolio performance, interest rate benchmarks and offerings of our securities relative to comparative periods, among other factors.
Portfolio and Investment Activity
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we invested approximately $92.1 million across 24 portfolio companies. This compares to investing approximately $212.9 million in 44 portfolio companies during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Investments sold, prepaid or repaid during the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled approximately $93.0 million versus approximately $122.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
At June 30, 2024, our portfolio consisted of 138 portfolio companies and was invested 33.7% in cash flow senior secured loans, 28.9% in asset-based senior secured loans / SLR Credit Solutions (“SLR Credit”) / SLR Healthcare ABL / SLR Business Credit, 21.2% in equipment senior secured financings / SLR Equipment Finance (“SLR Equipment”) / Kingsbridge Holdings, LLC (“KBH”) and 16.2% in life science senior secured loans, in each case, measured at fair value, versus 156 portfolio companies invested 33.7% in cash flow senior secured loans, 27.8% in asset-based senior secured loans / SLR Credit / SLR Healthcare ABL / SLR Business Credit, 22.9% in equipment senior secured financings / SLR Equipment / KBH, and 15.6% in life science senior secured loans, in each case, measured at fair value, at June 30, 2023.
At June 30, 2024, 82.7%, or $1.74 billion, of our income producing investment portfolio* was floating rate and 17.3%, or $365.0 million, was fixed rate, measured at fair value. At June 30, 2023, 78.0%, or $1.68 billion, of our income producing investment portfolio* was floating rate and 22.0%, or $473.9 million, was fixed rate, measured at fair value. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had one and three issuers, respectively, on non-accrual status.
* We have included SLR Credit Solutions, SLR Equipment Finance, SLR Healthcare ABL, SLR Business Credit and Kingsbridge Holdings, LLC within our income producing investment portfolio.
On December 28, 2012, we acquired an equity interest in Crystal Capital Financial Holdings LLC (“Crystal Financial”) for $275 million in cash. Crystal Financial owned approximately 98% of the outstanding ownership interest in SLR Credit Solutions, f/k/a Crystal Financial LLC. The remaining financial interest was held by various employees of SLR Credit, through their investment in Crystal Management LP. SLR Credit had a diversified portfolio of 23 loans having a total par value of approximately $400 million at November 30, 2012 and a $275 million committed revolving credit facility. On July 28, 2016, the Company purchased Crystal Management LP’s approximately 2% equity interest in SLR Credit for approximately $5.7 million. Upon the closing of this transaction, the Company holds 100% of the equity interest in SLR Credit. On September 30, 2016, Crystal Capital Financial Holdings LLC was dissolved. As of June 30, 2024, total commitments to the revolving credit facility were $300 million.
As of June 30, 2024, SLR Credit had 31 funded commitments to 25 different issuers with total funded loans of approximately $396.5 million on total assets of $423.4 million. As of December 31, 2023, SLR Credit had 31 funded commitments to 26 different issuers with total funded loans of approximately $406.6 million on total assets of $438.4 million. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the largest loan outstanding totaled $30.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively. For the same periods, the average exposure per issuer was $15.9 million and $15.6 million, respectively. SLR Credit’s credit facility, which is non-recourse to the Company, had approximately $206.3 million and $218.9 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, SLR Credit had net income of $6.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively, on gross income of $15.5 million and $13.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, SLR Credit had net income (loss) of $12.6 million and ($2.9) million, respectively, on gross income of $28.6 million and $28.5 million, respectively. Due to timing and non-cash items, there may be material differences between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) net income and cash available for distributions. As such, and subject to fluctuations in SLR Credit’s funded
55
commitments, the timing of originations, and the repayments of financings, the Company cannot guarantee that SLR Credit will be able to maintain consistent dividend payments to us.
SLR Equipment Finance
On July 31, 2017, we acquired a 100% equity interest in NEF Holdings, LLC, which conducts its business through its wholly-owned subsidiary Nations Equipment Finance, LLC. Effective February 25, 2021, Nations Equipment Finance, LLC and its related companies are doing business as SLR Equipment Finance. SLR Equipment is an independent equipment finance company that provides senior secured loans and leases primarily to U.S. based companies. We invested $209.9 million in cash to effect the transaction, of which $145.0 million was invested in the equity of SLR Equipment through our wholly-owned consolidated taxable subsidiary NEFCORP LLC and our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary NEFPASS LLC and $64.9 million was used to purchase certain leases and loans held by SLR Equipment through NEFPASS LLC. On January 31, 2024, SLR Equipment entered into a $225 million senior secured credit facility with a maturity date of January 31, 2027. On March 1, 2024, the credit facility was expanded to $350 million of commitments.
As of June 30, 2024, SLR Equipment had 201 funded equipment-backed leases and loans to 101 different customers with a total net investment in leases and loans of approximately $232.7 million on total assets of $281.4 million. As of December 31, 2023, SLR Equipment had 150 funded equipment-backed leases and loans to 62 different customers with a total net investment in leases and loans of approximately $203.7 million on total assets of $254.7 million. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the largest position outstanding totaled $17.9 million and $17.9 million, respectively. For the same periods, the average exposure per customer was $2.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively. SLR Equipment’s credit facility, which is non-recourse to the Company, had approximately $175.0 million and $137.2 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, SLR Equipment had net loss of $1.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, on gross income of $5.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, SLR Equipment had net loss of $3.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, on gross income of $10.1 million and $10.4 million, respectively. Due to timing and non-cash items, there may be material differences between GAAP net income and cash available for distributions. As such, and subject to fluctuations in SLR Equipment’s funded commitments, the timing of originations, and the repayments of financings, the Company cannot guarantee that SLR Equipment will be able to maintain consistent dividend payments to us.
On November 3, 2020, the Company acquired 87.5% of the equity securities of Kingsbridge Holdings, LLC through KBH Topco LLC (“KBHT”), a Delaware corporation. KBH is a residual focused independent mid-ticket lessor of equipment primarily to U.S. investment grade companies. The Company invested $216.6 million to effect the transaction, of which $136.6 million was invested to acquire 87.5% of KBHT’s equity and $80.0 million of KBH’s debt. The existing management team of KBH committed to continuing to lead KBH after the transaction. Following the transaction, the Company owns 87.5% of KBHT’s equity and the KBH management team owns the remaining 12.5% of KBHT’s equity. On March 13, 2024, as per the terms of the original purchase agreement, the Company acquired 3.125% of KBHT’s equity from the KBH management team. Effective with this purchase, the Company owns 90.625% of KBHT’s equity and the KBH management team owns the remaining 9.375%.

For the same periods, debt recourse to KBHT totaled $241.9 million and $249.8 million, respectively, and non-recourse debt totaled $412.8 million and $367.1 million, respectively. None of the debt is recourse to the Company.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, KBHT had net income of $4.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively, on gross income of $158.5 million and $143.5 million, respectively. Due to timing and non-cash items, there may be material differences between GAAP net income and cash available for distributions. As such, and subject to fluctuations in KBHT’s funded commitments, the timing of originations, and the repayments of financings, the Company cannot guarantee that KBHT will be able to maintain consistent dividend payments to us.

Stock Repurchase Program
On May 7, 2024, our Board authorized an extension of a program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $50 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. Under the repurchase program, we may, but are not obligated to, repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time provided that we comply with our code of ethics and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), including certain price, market volume and timing constraints.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 746 shares at an average price of approximately $14.02 per share, inclusive of commissions. The total dollar amount of shares repurchased for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 was $0.01 million.
On October 12, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement with Sunstone Senior Credit L.P. (the “Investor”) to create a joint venture vehicle, SLR Senior Lending Program LLC (“SSLP”). SSLP is expected to invest primarily in senior secured cash flow loans. The Company and the Investor each have made initial equity commitments of $50 million, resulting in a total equity commitment of $100 million. Investment decisions and all material decisions in respect of SSLP must be approved by representatives of the Company and the Investor.
On December 1, 2022, SSLP commenced operations.

Effective with an amendment on March 25, 2024, the SSLP Facility is scheduled to mature on December 12, 2028 and generally bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus 2.90%. SSLP and SSLP SPV, as applicable, have made certain customary representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants, including leverage restrictions, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies. Within the context of these critical accounting policies and disclosed subsequent events herein, we are not currently aware of any other reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
In December 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act addressing fair valuation of fund investments. The rule sets forth requirements for good faith determinations of fair value, as well as for the performance of fair value determinations, including related oversight and reporting obligations. The rule also defines “readily available market quotations” for purposes of the definition of “value” under the 1940 Act, and the SEC noted that this definition will apply in all contexts under the 1940 Act. The Company complies with the Rule 2a-5 valuation requirements.
We conduct the valuation of our assets, pursuant to which our net asset value is determined, at all times consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act. The Board will (1) periodically assess and manage valuation risks; (2) establish and apply fair value methodologies; (3) test fair value methodologies; (4) oversee and evaluate third-party pricing services, as applicable; (5) oversee the reporting required by Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act; and (6) maintain recordkeeping requirements under Rule 2a-5.
It is anticipated that in respect of many of the Company’s assets, readily available market quotations will not be obtainable and that such assets will be valued at fair value. A market quotation is readily available for a security only when that quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Company can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable. If the Company anticipates using a market quotation for a security, it will also monitor for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair value, such as significant events that may cause concern over the reliability of a market quotation.
Our valuation procedures are set forth in more detail in Note 2(b) to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
The Company records dividend income and interest, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest and/or dividends in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest/dividend cash payments are past due 30 days or more (90 days or more for equipment financing) and/or when it is no longer probable that principal or interest/dividend cash payments will be collected. Such non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest or dividends are paid in cash, and in management’s judgment, are likely to continue timely payment of their remaining interest or dividend obligations. Interest or dividend cash payments received on investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Some of our investments may have contractual PIK income. PIK income computed at the contractual rate, as applicable, is accrued and reflected as a receivable up to the capitalization date. PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, the Company capitalizes the accrued interest or dividends receivable (reflecting such amounts as the basis in the additional securities received). PIK generally becomes due at the maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. At the point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the PIK investment will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends is reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. The Company does not reverse previously capitalized PIK income. Upon capitalization, PIK is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status if the Company again believes that PIK is expected to be realized. Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discounts are capitalized and amortized into income using the effective interest method. Upon the prepayment of a loan, any unamortized loan origination fees are recorded as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and other investments as interest income when we receive such amounts. Capital structuring fees are recorded as other income when earned.
The typically higher yields and interest rates on PIK securities, to the extent we invested, reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risks associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a significantly higher credit risk than coupon loans. PIK securities may have unreliable valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. PIK income has the effect of generating investment income and increasing the incentive fees payable at a compounding rate. In addition, the deferral of PIK income also increases the loan-to-value ratio at a compounding rate. PIK securities create the risk that incentive fees will be paid to the Investment Adviser based on non-cash accruals that ultimately may not be realized, but the Investment Adviser will be under no obligation to reimburse the Company for these fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, capitalized PIK income totaled $2.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, capitalized PIK income totaled $3.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively.
Net Realized Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Gain or Loss
We generally measure realized gain or loss by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized origination or commitment fees and prepayment penalties. The net change in unrealized gain or loss reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gain or loss, when gains or losses are realized. Gains or losses on investments are calculated by using the specific identification method.
Income Taxes
SLRC, a U.S. corporation, has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for U.S. federal income taxation as a RIC, the Company is required, among other things, to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a given tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions, the Company accrues an estimated excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income.
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. ASUs not listed were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results comparisons are for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023:
Investment Income
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, gross investment income totaled $59.0 million and $117.1 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, gross investment income totaled $56.3 million and $109.9 million, respectively. The increase in gross investment income for the year over year three and six month periods was primarily due to the growth of the SSLP portfolio as well as an increase in index rates.
Net expenses totaled $34.7 million and $68.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, of which $13.9 million and $27.8 million, respectively, were base management fees and performance-based incentive fees and $18.2 million and $36.4 million, respectively, were interest and other credit facility expenses. Other general and administrative expenses totaled $2.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Over the same periods, $0.04 million and $0.09 million of performance-based incentive fees were waived. Net expenses totaled $33.7 million and $65.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, of which $13.5 million and $26.7 million, respectively, were base management fees and performance-based incentive fees and $17.8 million and $33.1 million, respectively, were interest and other credit facility expenses. Administrative services and other general and administrative expenses totaled $2.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Over the same periods, $0.1 million and $0.2 million of performance-based incentive fees were waived. Expenses generally consist of management and performance-based incentive fees, interest and other credit facility expenses, administrative services fees, insurance expenses, legal fees, directors’ fees, transfer agency fees, printing and proxy expenses, audit and tax services expenses and other general and administrative expenses. Interest and other credit facility expenses generally consist of interest, unused fees, agency fees and loan origination fees, if any, among others. The increase in expenses for the year over year three and six month periods was primarily due to larger incentive fees on greater pre-incentive fee net investment income year over year as well as higher interest expense on a larger average credit facility balance and an increase in index rates on borrowings.
Net Investment Income
The Company’s net investment income totaled $24.3 million and $48.2 million, or $0.45 and $0.88, per average share, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net Realized Gain
The Company had investment sales and prepayments totaling approximately $93 million and $224 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company had investment sales and prepayments totaling approximately $122 million and $267 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Net realized gains over the same periods were $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Net realized gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was primarily due to dispositions of selected assets.
Net Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, net change in unrealized gain (loss) on the Company’s assets totaled ($1.2) million and $2.7 million, respectively. Net unrealized loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to depreciation in the value of our investments in SLR Equipment Finance, NSPC Intermediate Corp. and RQM+ Corp., among others, partially offset by appreciation in the value of our investments in Neuronetics, Inc., SLR Credit Solutions and SLR Business Credit, among others. Net unrealized gain for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to appreciation in the value of our investments in Neuronetics, Inc., SLR Credit Solutions, Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. and Cerapedics, Inc., among others, partially offset by depreciation in the value of our investments in SLR Equipment Finance, SOINT, LLC, RQM+ Corp. and NSPC Intermediate Corp., among others. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, net change in unrealized loss on the Company’s assets totaled $4.2 million and $20.2 million, respectively.

In addition, the Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a minimum stockholder’s equity and a minimum asset coverage ratio. At June 30, 2024, outstanding USD equivalent borrowings under the Credit Facility totaled $501.0 million, composed of $401.0 million of revolving credit and $100.0 million of term loans.
On September 14, 2021, the Company closed a private offering of $50 million of unsecured notes with a fixed interest rate of 2.95% and a maturity date of March 14, 2027 (the “2027 Unsecured Notes”). Interest on the 2027 Unsecured Notes is due semi-annually on March 14 and September 14. The 2027 Unsecured Notes were issued in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers.
On December 18, 2019, the Company closed a private offering of $125 million of unsecured notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.20% and a maturity date of December 15, 2024 (the “2024 Unsecured Notes”). Interest on the 2024 Unsecured Notes is due semi-annually on June 15 and December 15. The 2024 Unsecured Notes were issued in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers.
On December 18, 2019, the Company closed a private offering of $75 million of unsecured notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.375% and a maturity date of December 15, 2026 (the “2026 Unsecured Notes”). Interest on the 2026 Unsecured Notes is due semi-annually on June 15 and December 15. The 2026 Unsecured Notes were issued in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers.
Certain covenants on our issued debt may restrict our business activities, including limitations that could hinder our ability to finance additional loans and investments or to make the distributions required to maintain our status as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. At June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial and operational covenants required by the Debt Instruments.
Cash Equivalents
We deem certain U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities as cash equivalents. The Company makes purchases that are consistent with its purpose of making investments in securities described in paragraphs 1 through 3 of Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. From time to time, including at or near the end of each fiscal quarter, we consider using various temporary investment strategies for our business. One strategy includes taking proactive steps by utilizing cash equivalents as temporary assets with the objective of enhancing our investment flexibility pursuant to Section 55 of the 1940 Act. More specifically, from time to time we may purchase U.S. Treasury bills or other high-quality, short-term debt securities at or near the end of the quarter and typically close out the position on a net cash basis subsequent to quarter end. We may also utilize repurchase agreements or other balance sheet transactions, including drawing down on the Credit Facility, as deemed appropriate. The amount of these transactions or such drawn cash for this purpose are excluded from total assets for purposes of computing the asset base upon which the management fee is determined. We held a face amount of $275 million in cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024.

Term loans
Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, we are permitted, as a BDC, to issue senior securities in amounts such that our asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 150% of gross assets less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by
senior securities, after each issuance of senior securities. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy the asset coverage test. If that happens, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous. Also, any amounts that we use to service our indebtedness would not be available for distributions to our common stockholders. Furthermore, as a result of issuing senior securities, we would also be exposed to typical risks associated with leverage, including an increased risk of loss.
We have also entered into two contracts under which we have future commitments: an investment advisory and management agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which the Investment Adviser has agreed to serve as our investment adviser, and an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”), pursuant to which the Administrator has agreed to furnish us with the facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations and provide on our behalf managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance. Payments under the Advisory Agreement are equal to (1) a percentage of the value of our average gross assets and (2) a two-part incentive fee. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon our allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, technology systems, insurance and our allocable portion of the costs of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. Either party may terminate each of the Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement without penalty upon 60 days written notice to the other. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
On July 31, 2017, the Company, NEFPASS LLC and NEFCORP LLC entered into a servicing agreement. NEFCORP LLC was engaged to provide NEFPASS LLC with administrative services related to the loans and capital leases held by NEFPASS LLC. NEFPASS LLC may terminate this agreement upon 30 days written notice to NEFCORP LLC.
On October 7, 2022, the Company committed $50 million to SSLP and entered into a servicing agreement. SSLP engaged and retained the Company to provide certain administrative services relating to the facilities, supplies and necessary ongoing overhead support services for the operation of SSLP’s ongoing business affairs in exchange for a fee.

From time to time and in the normal course of business, the Company may make unfunded capital commitments to current or prospective portfolio companies. Typically, the Company may agree to provide delayed-draw term loans or, to a lesser extent, revolving loans or equity commitments. These unfunded capital commitments always take into account the Company’s liquidity and cash available for investment, portfolio and issuer diversification, and other considerations. Accordingly, the Company had the following unfunded capital commitments at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively:

The credit agreements of the above loan commitments contain customary lending provisions and/or are subject to the respective portfolio company’s achievement of certain milestones that allow relief to the Company from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had sufficient cash available and/or liquid securities available to fund its commitments and had reviewed them for any appropriate fair value adjustment.
In the normal course of business, we invest or trade in various financial instruments and may enter into various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk, which may include forward foreign currency contracts. Generally, these financial instruments represent future commitments to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at future dates. These financial instruments contain varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk whereby changes in the market value or our satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. Future quarterly distributions, if any, will be determined by the Board. We expect that our distributions to stockholders will generally be from accumulated net investment income, net realized capital gains or non-taxable return of capital, if any, as applicable.
We have elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain our RIC tax treatment, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, out of the assets legally available for distribution. In addition, although we currently intend to distribute realized net capital gains (i.e., net
long-term capital gains in excess of short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually, out of the assets legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment.
We maintain an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a distribution, then stockholders’ cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless they specifically “opt out” of the dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash distributions.
We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a business development company, we may in the future be limited in our ability to make distributions. Also, the Credit Facility may limit our ability to declare distributions if we default under certain provisions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of the tax benefits available to us as a RIC. In addition, in accordance with GAAP and tax regulations, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as contractual payment-in-kind income, which represents contractual income added to the loan balance that becomes due at the end of the loan term, or the accrual of original issue or market discount. Since we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may have difficulty meeting the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to obtain tax benefits as a RIC.
With respect to the distributions to stockholders, income from origination, structuring, closing and certain other upfront fees associated with investments in portfolio companies are treated as taxable income and, accordingly, distributed to stockholders.
Related Parties
We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
72
The Investment Adviser may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole or in part, with ours. For example, the Investment Adviser presently serves as investment adviser to SCP Private Credit Income BDC LLC, an unlisted BDC that focuses on investing primarily in senior secured loans, including non-traditional asset-based loans and first lien loans, SLR HC BDC LLC, an unlisted BDC whose principal focus is to invest directly and indirectly in senior secured loans and other debt instruments typically to middle market companies within the healthcare industry, and SLR Private Credit BDC II LLC, an unlisted BDC focused on first lien senior secured floating rate loans. In addition, Michael S. Gross, our Chairman, Co-Chief Executive Officer and President, Bruce Spohler, our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Shiraz Kajee, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and Guy F. Talarico, our Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary, serve in similar capacities for SCP Private Credit Income BDC LLC, SLR HC BDC LLC and SLR Private Credit BDC II LLC. The Investment Adviser and certain investment advisory affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, and consistent with the Investment Adviser’s allocation procedures. On June 13, 2017, the Investment Adviser received an exemptive order that permits the Company to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with certain affiliates, in a manner consistent with the Company’s investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, and pursuant to various conditions (the “Exemptive Order”). If the Company is unable to rely on the Exemptive Order for a particular opportunity, such opportunity will be allocated first to the entity whose investment strategy is the most consistent with the opportunity being allocated, and second, if the terms of the opportunity are consistent with more than one entity’s investment strategy, on an alternating basis. Although the Investment Adviser’s investment professionals will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner, the Company and its stockholders could be adversely affected to the extent investment opportunities are allocated among us and other investment vehicles managed or sponsored by, or affiliated with, our executive officers, directors and members of the Investment Adviser.
Related party transactions may occur among us, SLR Senior Lending Program LLC, SLR Senior Lending Program SPV LLC, SLR Credit, Equipment Operating Leases LLC, KBH, Loyer Capital LLC, SLR Business Credit, SLR Healthcare ABL and SLR Equipment. These transactions may occur in the normal course of business. No administrative or other fees are paid to the Investment Adviser by SLR Senior Lending Program LLC, SLR Senior Lending Program SPV LLC, SLR Credit, Equipment Operating Leases LLC, KBH, Loyer Capital LLC, SLR Business Credit, SLR Healthcare ABL or SLR Equipment.
In addition, we have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of our officers and directors. Our officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by both the 1940 Act and the Maryland General Corporation Law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Uncertainty with respect to interest rates, inflationary pressures, risks in respect of a failure to increase the U.S. debt ceiling or a downgrade in the U.S. credit rating, the war between Ukraine and Russia, certain regional bank failures, an inflationary environment, the ongoing war in the Middle East and health epidemics and pandemics introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, and the effects of this volatility have materially impacted and could continue to materially impact our market risks. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. In a low interest rate environment, including a reduction of SOFR to zero, the difference between the total interest income earned on interest earning assets and the total interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities may be compressed, reducing our net interest income and potentially adversely affecting our operating results. Conversely, in a rising interest rate environment, such as the recent economic environment, such difference could potentially increase thereby increasing our net investment income. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, certain investments in our comprehensive investment portfolio had floating interest rates. These floating rate investments were primarily based on floating SOFR and typically have durations of one to three months after which they reset to current market interest rates. Additionally, some of these investments have floors. The Company also has revolving credit facilities that are generally based on floating SOFR. Assuming no changes to our balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and no new defaults by portfolio companies, a hypothetical one percent decrease in SOFR on our comprehensive floating rate assets and liabilities would decrease our net investment income by seven cents per average share over the next twelve months. Assuming no changes to our balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and no new defaults by portfolio companies, a hypothetical one percent increase in SOFR on our comprehensive floating rate assets and liabilities would increase our net investment income by approximately seven cents per average share over the next twelve months. However, we may hedge against interest rate fluctuations from time to time by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options, swaps and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit
our ability to participate in any benefits of certain changes in interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments. At June 30, 2024, we have no interest rate hedging instruments outstanding on our balance sheet.

We may also have exposure to foreign currencies through various investments. These investments are converted into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date, exposing us to movements in foreign exchange rates. In order to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we may borrow from time to time in such currencies under our multi-currency revolving credit facility or enter into forward currency or similar contracts.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2024 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management has not identified any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We and our consolidated subsidiaries are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us or our consolidated subsidiaries. From time to time, we and our consolidated subsidiaries may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in the February 27, 2024 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) , which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes during the period ended June 30, 2024 to the risk factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in the February 27, 2024 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
