RUNWAY GROWTH FINANCE CORP.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 – Organization

Runway Growth Finance Corp. (formerly known as Runway Growth Credit Fund Inc.) (the “Company”), is a Maryland corporation that was formed on August 31, 2015. On August 18, 2021, the Company changed its name to “Runway Growth Finance Corp.” from “Runway Growth Credit Fund Inc.” The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end 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”). In addition, the Company has elected to be treated, has qualified, and intends to continue to qualify annually as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company was formed primarily to lend to, and selectively invest in, high growth-potential companies in technology, life sciences, healthcare information and services, business services, select consumer services and products in other high-growth industries in the United States. The Company’s investment objective is to maximize its total return to its stockholders primarily through current income on its loan portfolio, and secondarily through capital appreciation on its warrants and other equity positions. The Company’s investment activities are managed by its external investment adviser, Runway Growth Capital LLC (“RGC”). The Company’s administrator, Runway Administrator Services LLC (the “Administrator”), is a wholly owned subsidiary of RGC and provides administrative services necessary for the Company to operate.

In October 2015, in connection with the Company’s formation, the Company issued and sold 1,667 shares of common stock to R. David Spreng, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. The sale of shares of common stock was approved by the unanimous consent of the Company’s sole director at the time. On December 1, 2017, the Company completed its initial private offering (“Initial Private Offering”), in which the Company issued 18,241,157 shares of its common stock to stockholders for a total purchase price of $275,000,000 in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and other applicable securities laws.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had completed multiple closings under its second private offering (the “Second Private Offering”) and had accepted aggregate capital commitments of $181,673,500. As of June 30, 2022, in connection with the Second Private Offering the Company has issued 9,617,379 shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of $144,260,683. Concurrent with the IPO (as defined below), all undrawn commitments under the Second Private Offering were cancelled.

On October 25, 2021, the Company closed its initial public offering ("IPO"), issuing 6,850,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $14.60 per share. Net of underwriting fees and offering costs, the Company received net cash proceeds of $93.0 million. The Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “RWAY” on October 21, 2021.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has issued 22,564 shares as an additional direct investment by Runway Growth Holdings LLC, an affiliate of RGC, at a per-share price of $15.00 for total proceeds of $338,453 in a private offering pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation D of the Securities Act.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has issued an additional 6,647,847 shares as part of the dividend reinvestment plan. For more information, see “Note 6 – Net Assets.”

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10‑Q and Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company is an investment company following the specialized accounting and reporting guidance specified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, all of which were of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for any other interim period or for the year ending December

27


Table of Contents

31, 2022, including the impact of the coronavirus (“COVID 19”) pandemic thereon. The interim unaudited financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as modified by the annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2022 and March 14, 2022, respectively.

Certain items in the June 30, 2021 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2022 presentation with no net effect on the net increase in net assets resulting from operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash represents deposits held at financial institutions, while cash equivalents are highly liquid investments held at financial institutions with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. From time to time, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents exceed federally insured limits, subjecting the Company to risks related to the uninsured balance. Cash and cash equivalents are held at large, established, high credit-quality financial institutions, and management believes that risk of loss associated with any uninsured balance is remote.

Deferred Debt Costs

The fees and expenses associated with opening the KeyBank credit facilities, including entering into the Credit Agreement (as defined below) (see “Note 10 – Borrowings”), and the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes (as defined below) pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below) (See “Note 10 –Borrowings”) are being deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. Debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement are classified as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of borrowings with the Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement, unless there are no outstanding borrowings, in which case the debt issuance costs are presented as an asset.

Reverse Repurchase Agreement

The Company has, and may in the future, enter into reverse repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Master Repurchase Agreement”), with selected commercial banks and broker-dealers, under which the Company acquires securities as collateral (debt obligation) subject to an obligation of the counterparty to repurchase and the Company to resell the securities (obligation) at an agreed upon time and price. The Company, through the custodian or a sub-custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing reverse repurchase agreements. The Company requires the custodian to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian’s vault, all securities held as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements. The Company and the counterparties are permitted to sell, re-pledge, or use the collateral associated with the transaction. It is the Company’s policy that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 100 percent of the repurchase price in the case of a reverse repurchase agreement of one-day duration and 102 percent of the repurchase price in the case of all other reverse repurchase agreements. Upon an event of default under the terms of the Master Repurchase Agreement, both parties have the right to set-off. If the seller defaults or enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Company may be delayed, limited or wholly denied.

The Company had no outstanding reverse repurchase agreements at June 30, 2022. Pursuant to a reverse repurchase agreement with Goldman Sachs which expired on January 6, 2022, the Company purchased a U.S. Treasury Bill, due January 11, 2022. The value of the related collateral that the Company received for this agreement was $45,001,500 at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2021, the repurchase liability was $44,774,963, which is reflected as “Reverse repurchase agreement” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income

Security transactions, if any, are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses from the repayment or sale of investments are measured using the specific identification method. The amortized cost basis of investments represents the original cost

28


Table of Contents

adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts and premiums and upfront loan origination fees. The Company reports changes from the prior period in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on the Statements of Operations.

Dividends are recorded on the applicable ex-dividend date. Interest income, if any, adjusted for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. Original issue discount (“OID”), principally representing the estimated fair value of detachable equity, warrants or contractual success fees obtained in conjunction with the Company’s debt investments, loan origination fees, end of term payments, and market discount or premium are capitalized and accreted or amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees received in connection with the closing of investments are reported as unearned income, which is included as amortized cost of the investment; the unearned income from such fees is accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the loan based on the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties, unamortized loan origination fees, end-of-term payments, and unamortized market discounts are recorded as interest income.

The Company currently holds, and expects to hold in the future, some investments in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provisions. PIK interest is computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement and is added to the principal balance of the loan, rather than being paid to the Company in cash, and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of PIK interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income, is included in the Company’s taxable income and therefore affects the amount of income the Company is required to distribute to stockholders to maintain its qualification as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash.

Non-Accrual of Investments

Debt investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal, interest, and other obligations become materially past due or when there is reasonable doubt that principal, interest, and other obligations will be collected in full. At the point of non-accrual, the Company will generally cease recognizing interest income on the debt investment until all principal and interest due have been paid or the Company believes the borrower has demonstrated the ability to repay its current and future contractual obligations. Additionally, any OID associated with the debt investment is no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Any payments received on non-accrual loans are first applied to principal prior to recovery of any foregone interest or end of term payment fees. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal or interest are paid, and, in management’s judgment are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this policy if the investment has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection such that the Company will be made whole on the investment, inclusive of interest and end of term payment fees.

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company has not written off any accrued and uncollected PIK interest and dividends. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had one loan to Pivot3 Holdings, Inc., representing an aggregate principal funded of $19,172,353 at a fair value of $5,521,301, on non-accrual status, which represents 0.7% of the Company’s total investment portfolio. The non-accrual loan as of June 30, 2022 had total interest of $2,480,364 that would have been accrued into income. Had the loan not been on non-accrual status, $2,263,836 would be payable, and $216,528 would be OID. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had six loans to Mojix, Inc. and one loan to Pivot3 Holdings, Inc., representing an aggregate principal funded of $30,278,707 at a fair market value of $28,259,976, on non-accrual status, which represents 3.9% of the Company’s total investment portfolio. The non-accrual loans as of December 31, 2021 had total interest of $4,760,387 that would have been accrued into income. Had the loans not been on non-accrual status, $4,064,620 would be payable, and $695,767 would be OID. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 14.7% and 11.5%, respectively, of the Company’s total investment income was attributable to non-cash PIK interest and dividend income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, approximately 5.6% and 5.7%, respectively, of the Company’s total investment income was attributable to non-cash PIK interest and dividend income.

Valuation of Investments

The Company measures the value of its investments at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC Topic 820”), issued by the FASB. Fair value is 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.

The audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) assists the Board of Directors in valuing investments that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of the Audit Committee, RGC and its senior investment team and independent

29


Table of Contents

valuation agents, is responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value of such investments in accordance with the valuation policy approved by the Board of Directors. If more than one valuation method is used to measure fair value, the results are evaluated and weighted, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results. The Company considers a range of fair values based upon the valuation techniques utilized and selects the value within that range that was most representative of fair value based on current market conditions as well as other factors RGC’s senior investment team considers relevant.

The Company’s Board of Directors makes this fair value determination on a quarterly basis and any other time when a decision regarding the fair value of the portfolio investments is required. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates and depends on the facts and circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below:

Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2—Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable.
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models incorporating significant unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models and other similar valuations techniques. The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities generally requires significant management judgment due to the inability to observe inputs to valuation.

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 observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The 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.

Under ASC Topic 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset, which may be a hypothetical market, and excludes transaction costs. The principal market for any asset is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for such asset in which the reporting entity would or could sell or transfer the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under ASC Topic 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to such market as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact.

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

The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company investment being initially valued by RGC’s investment professionals that are responsible for the portfolio investment;
Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with RGC’s senior investment team;
At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment, is reviewed by one or more independent valuation firms. Certain investments, however, may not be evaluated by the applicable independent valuation firm if the net asset value and other aspects of such investments in the aggregate do not exceed certain thresholds;
The Audit Committee then reviews these preliminary valuations from RGC and the applicable independent valuation firm, if any, and makes a recommendation to the Company’s Board of Directors regarding such valuations; and

30


Table of Contents

The Company’s Board of Directors reviews the recommended preliminary valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio, in good faith, based on the input of RGC, the independent valuation firm and the Audit Committee.

The Company’s investments are primarily loans made to and equity and warrants of high growth-potential companies focused in technology, life sciences, healthcare information and services, business services, select consumer services and products and other high-growth industries. These investments are considered Level 3 assets under ASC Topic 820 because there is no known or accessible market or market indices for these types of debt instruments and, thus, RGC’s senior investment team must estimate the fair value of these investment securities based on models utilizing unobservable inputs.

Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act was adopted by the SEC in December 2020 and establishes a framework for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting Rule 2a-5 on the financial statements and intends to comply with the new rule’s requirements on or before the compliance date in September 2022.

Investment Valuation Techniques

Valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment. There is no single standard for determining the fair value of investments that do not have an active public market. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, as they are based on estimates, and their values may fluctuate over time. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market for these investments existed. In some cases, the fair value of such investments is best expressed as a range of values derived utilizing different methodologies from which a fair value may then be determined.

Debt Investments: To determine the fair value of the Company’s debt investments, the Company compares the cost basis of the debt investment, which includes original issue discount, if any, to the resulting fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model, unless another model is more appropriate based on the circumstances at the measurement date. The discounted cash flow approach entails analyzing the interest rate spreads for recently completed financing transactions that are similar in nature to the Company’s investments, in order to determine a comparable range of effective market interest rates for its investments. The range of interest rate spreads utilized is based on borrowers with similar credit profiles. All remaining expected cash flows of the investment are discounted using this range of interest rates to determine a range of fair values for the debt investment.

This valuation process includes, among other things, evaluating the underlying investment performance, the portfolio company’s current financial condition and ability to raise additional capital, as well as macro-economic events that may impact valuations. These events include, but are not limited to, current market yields and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. Significant increases or decreases in these unobservable inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement; however, a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in these unobservable inputs.

Under certain circumstances, the Company may use an alternative technique to value the debt investments to be acquired by the Company that better reflects the fair value of the investment, such as the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or a binding offer received in an arms-length transaction, the use of multiple probability-weighted cash flow models when the expected future cash flows contain elements of variability or estimates of proceeds that would be received in a liquidation scenario.

Warrants: Fair value of warrants is primarily determined using a Black Scholes option-pricing model. Privately held warrants and equity-related securities are valued based on an analysis of various factors including, but not limited to, the following:

Underlying enterprise value of the issuer is estimated based on information available, including any information regarding the most recent rounds of issuer funding. Valuation techniques to determine enterprise value include market multiple approaches, income approaches or approaches that utilize recent rounds of financing and the portfolio company’s capital structure to determine enterprise value. Valuation techniques are also utilized to allocate the enterprise fair value of a portfolio company to the specific class of common or preferred stock exercisable in the warrant. Such techniques take into account the rights and preferences of the portfolio company’s securities, expected exit scenarios, and volatility associated with such outcomes to allocate the fair value to the specific class of stock held in the portfolio. Such techniques include Option Pricing Models, or “OPM,” including back-solve techniques, Probability Weighted Expected Return Models, or “PWERM,” and other techniques as determined to be appropriate.
Volatility, or the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of the changes in the warrant price, is based on comparable publicly traded companies within indices similar in nature to the underlying company issuing the warrant. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value, but a significantly higher or lower

fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in this unobservable input.
The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The risk-free interest rates are calculated based on a weighted average of the risk-free interest rates that correspond closest to the expected remaining life of the warrant. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value, but a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in this unobservable input.
Other adjustments, including a marketability discount on private company warrants, are estimated based on judgment about the general industry environment. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value, but a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in this unobservable input.
Historical portfolio experience on cancellations and exercises of warrants are utilized as the basis for determining the estimated life of the warrants in each financial reporting period. Warrants may be exercised in the event of acquisitions, mergers or initial public offerings, and cancelled due to events such as bankruptcies, restructuring activities or additional financings. These events cause the expected remaining life assumption to be shorter than the contractual term of the warrants. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value, but a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in this unobservable input.

Under certain circumstances, the Company may use an alternative technique to value warrants that better reflects the warrants’ fair values, such as an expected settlement of a warrant in the near term, a model that incorporates a put feature associated with the warrant, or the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or binding offer received in an arms-length transaction. The fair value may be determined based on the expected proceeds to be received from such settlement or based on the net present value of the expected proceeds from the put option.

Equity Investments. The fair value of an equity investment in a privately held company is initially the face value of the amount invested. The Company adjusts the fair value of equity investments in private companies upon the completion of a new third-party round of equity financing subsequent to the Company’s investment. The Company may make adjustments to fair value, absent a new equity financing event, based upon positive or negative changes in a portfolio company’s financial or operational performance. The Company may also reference comparable transactions and/or secondary market transactions in connection with its determination of fair value. The fair value of an equity investment in a publicly traded company is based upon the closing public share price on the date of measurement. These assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Fair value of the Company’s Credit Agreement is estimated by discounting remaining payments using applicable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date, if applicable. As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company believes that the carrying value of its Credit Agreement approximates fair value. The 2026 Senior Notes are carried at cost and with their longer maturity dates, fair value is estimated by discounting remaining payments using current market rates for similar instruments and considering such factors as the legal maturity date and the ability of market participants to prepay the notes. As of June 30, 2022, the Company believes that the carrying value of the 2026 Senior Notes approximates fair value.

Investment Classification

The Company is a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The Company classifies its investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, control investments are those where the investor has the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual possesses, or has the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership of more than 25.0% of the voting securities of a company or maintains greater than 50% of the board representation. Affiliated investments and affiliated companies are defined by a lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist through the possession outright, or via the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership between 5% and 25% (inclusive) of the voting securities and does not have rights to maintain greater than 50% of the board representation.

Investments are recognized when the Company assumes an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assumes the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Investments are derecognized when the Company assumes an obligation to sell a financial

instrument and foregoes the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Specifically, the Company records all security transactions on a trade date basis. Investments in other, non-security financial instruments, such as limited partnerships or private companies, are recorded on the basis of subscription date or redemption date, as applicable. Amounts for investments recognized or derecognized but not yet settled will be reported as receivables for investments sold and payables for investments acquired, respectively, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2016, and has qualified and intends to continue to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. Generally, a RIC is not subject to U.S. federal income taxes on distributed income and gains so long as it meets certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and it distributes at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of its net long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. So long as the Company obtains and maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned by the Company represents obligations of the Company’s investors and will not be reflected in the financial statements of the Company. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its RIC status each year and it does not anticipate paying any material U.S. federal income taxes in the future.

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the Financial Statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet a "more-likely-than-not" threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. There were no material uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal. The previous three tax year-ends and the interim tax period since then remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

If the Company does not timely distribute (or is not deemed to have distributed) each calendar year the sum of (1) at least 98% of its net ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for each calendar year, (2) at least 98.2% of the amount by which the Company’s capital gains exceed its capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period generally ending on October 31 in that calendar year (unless the Company makes an election to use its taxable year) and (3) any net ordinary income and net capital gain recognized in preceding years on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax (the “Minimum Distribution Amount”), the Company will generally be required to pay a nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which the Minimum Distribution Amount exceeds the distributions for the year. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, the Company accrues excise taxes, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned using an annual effective excise tax rate. The annual effective U.S. federal excise tax rate is determined by dividing the estimated annual excise tax by the estimated annual taxable income.

If the Company does not qualify to be treated as a RIC for any taxable year, the Company will be taxed as a regular corporation (a “C corporation”) under subchapter C of the Code for such taxable year. If the Company has previously qualified to be treated as a RIC but is subsequently unable to qualify for treatment as a RIC, and certain amelioration provisions are not applicable, the Company would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on all of its taxable income (including its net capital gains) at regular corporate rates. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders, nor would it be required to make distributions. In order to requalify as a RIC, in addition to the other requirements discussed above, the Company would be required to distribute all of its previously undistributed earnings attributable to the period it failed to qualify as a RIC by the end of the first year that it intends to requalify as a RIC. If the Company fails to requalify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, it may be subject to regular corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on any net built-in gains with respect to certain of its assets (i.e., the excess of the aggregate gains, including items of income, over aggregate losses that would have been realized with respect to such assets if the Company had been liquidated) that it elects to recognize on requalification or when recognized over the next five years.

Per Share Information

Basic and diluted earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period presented. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock were the same because there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Per share data is based on the weighted-average shares outstanding.

Distributions

The Company generally intends to distribute, out of assets legally available for distribution, substantially all of its available earnings, on a quarterly basis, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company declared and paid dividends in the amount of $12,382,340 and $23,555,007, respectively, of which $10,172,229 and $13,925,314, respectively, was distributed in cash and the remainder distributed in shares to stockholders, purchased in the open market pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company declared dividends in the amount of $11,859,731 and $23,482,930, respectively, of which $2,449,360 and $4,889,338, respectively, was distributable in cash and the remainder distributable in shares to stockholders pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization costs include, among other things, the cost of organizing as a Maryland corporation, including the cost of legal services and other fees pertaining to the Company’s organization, all of which are expensed as incurred. Offering costs include, among other things, legal fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of the Company’s public and private offering materials as well as travel-related expenses related to the Company’s public and private offerings. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement in place between the Company and RGC at the time of the Initial Private Offering, the Company and RGC agreed that organization and offering costs incurred in connection with the Initial Private Offering would be borne by the Company up to a maximum amount of $1,000,000, provided that the amount of such costs in excess of $1,000,000 would be paid by RGC. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had already incurred the maximum amount of $1,000,000 in organization and offering costs incurred in connection with the Initial Private Offering. As a result, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not incur any organization or offering expenses in connection with the Initial Private Offering.

Offering costs related to the Second Private Offering were accumulated and charged to additional paid in capital at the time of closing beginning in 2019. These offering costs related to the Second Private Offering are subject to a cap of $600,000, excluding placement agent fees which have no cap, of which the Company will bear the cost. As of each of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had accumulated and recorded $651,991 of offering costs related to the Second Private Offering. As of each of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $186,198 in placement agent fees had been incurred. Under the terms of the Second Private Offering, offering costs in excess of $600,000, excluding placement agent fees, will be reimbursed by RGC.

Offering costs related to the IPO were accumulated and charged to additional paid in capital at the time of closing in October 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had accumulated and recorded $6,970,599 and $6,970,599, respectively, of offering costs related to the Company’s IPO. The offering costs are fully born by the Company and include underwriting fees, legal fees, and other costs pertaining to the preparation of the Company’s offering materials as well as travel-related expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),” which expanded the scope of Topic 848 to include derivative instruments impacted by discounting transition. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. ASU No. 2021-01 provides increased clarity as the Company continues to evaluate the transition of reference rates and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2020-04 and 2021-01 on the financial statements. The Company did not utilize the optional expedients and exceptions provided in this guidance during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The Company’s management believes that its available cash balances, availability under the Credit Agreement provides sufficient funds to cover its unfunded commitments as of June 30, 2022. The Company has evaluated the expected net future cash flows related to unfunded commitments and determined the fair value to be zero as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company is currently not subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to its knowledge, is any material proceeding threatened against the Company. From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of its rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that any such proceedings will have a material effect upon its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

On February 24, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) under which the Company may repurchase up to $25 million of its outstanding common stock.

Note 7 – Related Party Agreements and Transactions

Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement

On November 29, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an investment advisory agreement between RGC and the Company, under which RGC, subject to the overall supervision of the Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations of and provides investment advisory services to the Company (together with a subsequent amendment thereto, the “Prior Agreement”). On August 3, 2017, the Board of Directors approved certain amendments to the Prior Agreement (the “First Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement”) and recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve the First Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. The First Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement became effective on September 12, 2017 upon approval by the stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company. On April 7, 2021, the Board of Directors approved certain additional amendments to the advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) at a virtual meeting and recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve the Advisory Agreement. In reliance upon certain exemptive relief granted by the SEC in connection with the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Directors undertook to ratify the Advisory Agreement at its next in-person meeting which was held in July 2021. The Advisory Agreement became effective on May 27, 2021 upon approval by the stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company. The Advisory Agreement amended the Prior Advisory Agreement to include certain revisions to the management and

incentive fee calculation mechanisms and clarify language relating to liquidity events. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, RGC:

determines the composition of the Company’s portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to the portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;
identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments the Company makes;
executes, closes and monitors the investments the Company makes;
determines the securities and other assets that the Company will purchase, retain or sell;
performs due diligence on prospective investments; and
provides the Company with other such investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays RGC a fee for its investment advisory and management services consisting of two components – a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee and incentive fee are ultimately borne by the Company’s stockholders.

Base Management Fee

The base management fee is payable on the first day of each calendar quarter.

For purposes of the Advisory Agreement, a “Spin-Off transaction” includes either a transaction whereby (a) the Company offers its stockholders the option to elect to either (i) retain their ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock, or (ii) exchange their shares of the Company’s common stock for shares of common stock in a newly formed entity (the “Public Fund”) that will elect to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code (the “Public Fund Spin Off”); or (b) the Company completes a listing of the Company’s securities on any securities exchange (an “Exchange Listing”). The base management fee will be an amount equal to 0.40% (1.60% annualized) of the Company’s average daily Gross Assets (defined below) during the most recently completed calendar quarter for so long as the aggregate amount of Gross Assets of the Company as of the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter is equal or greater than $500,000,000 but less than $1,000,000,000. For purposes of the Advisory Agreement, “Gross Assets” is defined as the Company’s gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds or other forms of leverage, as well as any PIK interest, as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. If the aggregate amount of the Company’s Gross Assets as of the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter is less than $500,000,000 the base management fee will be an amount equal to 0.4375% (1.75% annualized) of the Company’s average daily Gross Assets during the most recently completed calendar quarter. If the aggregate amount of the Company’s Gross Assets as of the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter is equal to or greater than $1,000,000,000, the base management fee will be an amount equal to 0.375% (1.50% annualized) of the Company’s average daily Gross Assets during the most recently completed calendar quarter.

RGC earned base management fees of $2,862,303 and $5,422,239, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and $2,276,341 and $4,345,550, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee, which provides RGC with a share of the income that RGC generates for the Company, consists of an investment-income component and a capital-gains component, which are largely independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not.

Under the investment-income component (the “Income Incentive Fee”), the Company pays RGC each quarter an incentive fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income. The Income Incentive Fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. Payments based on Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income will be based on the Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income earned for the quarter. For this purpose, “Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, managerial and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) that the Company accrues during the fiscal quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the amended and restated administration agreement with the Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”), and any 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 (such as OID, debt instruments with pay in kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income the Company has not yet received in cash; provided, however, that the portion of the Income Incentive Fee attributable to deferred interest features will be paid, only if and to the extent received in cash, and any accrual thereof will be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred interest accrual, applied in each case in the order such interest was accrued. Such subsequent payments in respect of previously accrued income will not reduce the amounts payable for any quarter pursuant to the calculation of the Income Incentive Fee described above. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.

Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less liabilities) at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 2.0% per quarter (8.0% annualized). The Company pays RGC an Income Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Income Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.0%; (2) 80% 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 2.667% in any calendar quarter (10.668% annualized) (the portion of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income that exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.667% is referred to as the “catch-up”; the “catch-up” is meant to provide RGC with 20.0% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income as if a hurdle did not apply if the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income exceeds 2.667% in any calendar quarter (10.668% annualized)); and (3) 20.0% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.667% in any calendar quarter (10.668% annualized) payable to RGC (once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20.0% of all Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income thereafter is allocated to RGC).

Prior to the consummation of the IPO, in the event that (a) the sum of the Company’s cumulative net realized losses since the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC exceeded 2.0% of the total non-control/non-affiliate investments made by the Company since the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the end of the quarter and (b) the Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income adjusted to include any realized capital gains and losses (“Adjusted Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income”), expressed as an annualized rate of return on the value of the Company’s average daily net assets (defined as total assets less liabilities), since the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the end of the quarter was less than 10.0%, no Income Incentive Fee would be payable for such quarter until the first subsequent quarter in which either (x) the sum of the Company’s cumulative net realized losses since the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC was equal to or less than 2.0% of the total non-control/non-affiliate investments made by the Company since the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the end of such subsequent quarter or (y) the Adjusted Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as an annualized rate of return on the value of the Company’s average daily net assets (defined as total assets less liabilities), since the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the of the end of the quarter equals or exceeds 10.0%; provided, however, that in no event would any Income Incentive Fee be payable for any prior quarter after the three-year anniversary of the end of such quarter.

Under the capital-gains component of the incentive fee (the “Capital Gains Fee”), the Company will pay RGC, as of the end of each calendar year, 20.0% of the Company’s aggregate cumulative realized capital gains, if any, from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the end of that calendar year, computed net of the Company’s aggregate cumulative realized capital losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation through the end of such year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gains Fee. For the foregoing purpose, the Company’s “aggregate cumulative realized capital gains” will not include any unrealized appreciation. If such amount is negative, then no Capital Gains Fee will be payable for such year.

RGC earned incentive fees of $3,621,139 and $4,965,135, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022; $3,028,355 and $4,084,578, respectively, of the incentive fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were earned, payable in cash, and $592,784 and $880,557, respectively, of the incentive fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were accrued and generated from deferred interest (i.e., PIK interest and certain discount accretion) and are not payable pending receipt of cash by the Company. RGC earned incentive fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 of $2,836,303 and $3,812,007, respectively; $2,229,639 and $2,968,870, respectively, of the incentive fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were earned, payable in cash, and $606,664 and $843,137, respectively, of the incentive fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were accrued and deferred (i.e., PIK interest and certain discount accretion) and are not payable pending receipt of cash by the Company. Both currently payable in cash, $3,852,055 and $2,493,508, and deferred incentive fees, $3,563,279 and $3,516,742, are included in accrued incentive fees on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The capital gains incentive fee consists of fees related to realized gains, realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation. With respect to the incentive fee expense accrual related to the capital gains incentive fee, U.S. GAAP requires that the capital gains invective fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized appreciation were realized even though such unrealized appreciation is not permitted

to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Advisory Agreement. As of each of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was no capital gains incentive fee accrued, earned or payable to RGC under the Advisory Agreement.

Spin-Off Incentive Fee

The Income Incentive Fee payable in connection with a Public Fund Spin-Off, including the IPO, as follows. The Income Incentive Fee is calculated as of the date of the completion of each Public Fund Spin-Off and will equal the amount of Income Incentive Fee that would be payable to RGC if (1) all of the Company’s investments were liquidated for their current value and any unamortized deferred portfolio investment-related fees would be deemed accelerated, (2) the proceeds from such liquidation were used to pay all of the Company’s outstanding liabilities, and (3) the remainder were distributed to the Company’s stockholders and paid as incentive fee in accordance with the Income Incentive Fee described in clauses (1) and (2) above for determining the amount of the Income Incentive Fee; provided, however, that in no event will the Income Incentive Fee paid in connection with the completion of the Public Fund Spin-Off (x) include the portion of the Income Incentive Fee attributable to deferred interest features of a particular investment that is not transferred pursuant to the Public Fund Spin-Off until such time as the deferred interest is received in cash, or (y) exceed 20.0% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income accrued by the Company for the fiscal quarter as of the date of the completion of the Public-Fund Spin-Off. The Company will make the payment of the Income Incentive Fee paid in connection with the completion of the Public Fund Spin-Off in cash on or immediately following the date of the completion of the Public-Fund Spin-Off. After the Public Fund Spin-Off, all calculations relating to the incentive fee payable will be made beginning on the day immediately following the completion of the Public Fund Spin-Off without taking into account the exchanged shares of the Company’s common stock (or contributions, distributions or proceeds relating thereto).

The Capital Gains Fee is payable in respect of the exchanged shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Public Fund Spin-Off and is calculated as of the date of the completion of the Public Fund Spin-Off as if such date were a calendar year-end for purposes of calculating and paying the Capital Gains Fee.

No Income Incentive Fee or Capital Gains Fee is payable in connection with the Public Fund Spin-Off unless, on the date of the completion of the Public Fund Spin-Off, the sum of the Company’s (i) Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income and (ii) realized capital gains less realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through, and including, the date of the completion of the Public Fund Spin-Off, is greater than 8.0% of the cumulative net investments made by the Company since the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt securities are origination yields and discount rates. The origination yield is defined as the initial market price of an investment in a hypothetical market to hypothetical market participants where buyers and sellers are willing participants. The discount rate is related to company-specific characteristics such as underlying investment performance, projected cash flows, and other characteristics of the investment. Significant increases (decreases) in the inputs in isolation may result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement, depending on the materiality of the investment. However, a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in the unobservable inputs.
(2)
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s warrant and equity-related securities are inputs used in the OPM, which include industry volatility, risk free interest rate and estimated time to exit. The Equity Allocation model and the Black Scholes model were the main OPMs used during the period ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021. Probability Weighted Expected Return Models (“PWERM”) and other techniques were used as determined appropriate. Significant increases (decreases) in the inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement, depending on the materiality of the investment. However, a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in the unobservable inputs. For some investments, additional consideration may be given to data from the last round of financing or merger/acquisition events near the measurement date.

Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company may utilize derivative contracts in connection with its investment activities. Investments in derivative contracts are subject to additional risks that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment. The derivative activities and exposure to derivative contracts primarily involve equity price risks. In addition to the primary underlying risk, additional counterparty risk exists due to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Warrants

Warrants provide exposure and potential gains upon equity appreciation of the portfolio company’s equity value. A warrant has a limited life and expires on a certain date. As a warrant’s expiration date approaches, the time value of the warrant will decline. In addition, if the stock underlying the warrant declines in price, the intrinsic value of an “in the money” warrant will decline. Further, if the price of the stock underlying the warrant does not exceed the strike price of the warrant on the expiration date, the warrant will expire worthless. As a result, there is the potential for the entire value of an investment in a warrant to be lost. The Company’s volume of warrant investment activity is closely correlated to its primary senior secured loans to portfolio companies. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had a net realized gain/(loss) of ($65) and ($267,453), respectively, and a net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of ($1,019,716) and $159,096, respectively, from its investments in warrants. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had a net realized gain/(loss) of $273,798 and $490,408, respectively, and a net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of $2,875,080 and $612,468, respectively, from its investments in warrants. Realized gain/(loss) from warrants is included in Realized gain (loss) on non-control/non-affiliate investments, including U.S. Treasury Bills on the Statement of Operations. Net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments in warrants is included in Net Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on non-control/non-affiliate investments, including U.S. Treasury Bills.

Counterparty risk exists from the potential failure of an issuer of warrants to settle its exercised warrants. The maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the fair value of the contracts and the purchase price of the warrants. The Company’s Board of Directors considers the effects of counterparty risk when determining the fair value of its investments in warrants.

Note 10 – Borrowings

On December 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) governing the issuance of $70,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.25% Series 2021A Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”) to institutional accredited investors (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) in a private placement. The 2026 Senior Notes were issued in two closings. The initial issuance of $20 million 2026 Senior Notes closed on December 10, 2021 and the second and final issuance of $50 million 2026 Senior Notes closed on February 10, 2022.

The 2026 Senior Notes bear an interest rate of 4.25% per year and are due on December 10, 2026, unless redeemed, purchased or prepaid prior to such date by the Company or its affiliates in accordance with their terms. Interest on the 2026 Senior Notes will be due semiannually. The interest rate is subject to a 1.00% increase in the event that, subject to certain exceptions, the 2026 Senior Notes cease to have an investment grade rating or receive an investment grade rating below the Investment Grade (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement). The 2026 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.

Aggregate offering costs in connection with the 2026 Senior Notes issuance, including the underwriter’s discount and commissions, were $899,277, which were capitalized and deferred. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, unamortized deferred debt costs related to the 2026 Senior Notes were $814,748 and $376,029, respectively, and were included in the Total debt, less unamortized deferred debt costs on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the components of interest expense and related fees for the 2026 Senior Notes are as follows:

On May 31, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement, as subsequently amended (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as borrower, KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, syndication agent, and a lender, CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”), as documentation agent and a lender, U.S. Bank National Association, as paying agent, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto.

The Credit Agreement provides for borrowings up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $100 million, subject to availability under a borrowing base that is determined by the number and value of eligible loan investments in the collateral, applicable advance rates and concentration limits, and certain cash and cash equivalent holdings of the Company. The Credit Agreement has an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the aggregate commitments up to $200 million, subject to new or existing lenders agreeing to participate in the increase and other customary conditions. There can be no assurances that existing lenders will agree to such an increase, or that additional lenders will join the credit facility to increase available borrowings. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest on a per annum basis equal to a three-month adjusted LIBOR rate (with a LIBOR floor of zero), plus an applicable margin rate that varies from 3.00% to 2.50% per annum depending on utilization and other factors. During the availability period, the applicable margin rate (i) is 3.00% per annum for interest periods during which the average utilization is less than 60% and (ii) varies from 3.00% to 2.50% per annum when the average utilization equals or exceeds 60% (with 3.00% applying when the eligible loans in the collateral consist of 9 or fewer unaffiliated obligors, 2.75% applying when the eligible loans consist of between 10 and 29 unaffiliated obligors, and 2.50% applying when the eligible loans consist of 30 or more unaffiliated obligors). During the amortization period, the applicable margin rate will be 3.00%. If certain eurodollar disruption events occur, then borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest on a per annum basis equal to (i) a base rate instead of LIBOR that is set at the higher of (x) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (y) the prime rate, plus (ii) the applicable margin rate discussed above. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. The Company also pays unused commitment fees of 0.50% per annum on the unused lender commitments under the Credit Agreement, as well as a minimum earnings fee of 3.00% that will be payable annually in arrears, starting on May 31, 2021, on the average unused commitments below 60% of the aggregate commitments during the preceding 12‑month period.

On November 10, 2020, Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, as well as a corresponding amendment to the fee letter dated May 31, 2019 (collectively, the “November Credit Facility Amendment”). The November Credit Facility Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things: (i) increase the size of the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility to $175 million from $100 million; (ii) add MUFG Union Bank, N.A. as a new lender and co-documentation agent under the

46


Table of Contents

Credit Agreement; (iii) revise the interest rate margin to be 3.00% for the remaining term of the Credit Facility regardless of the Credit Facility average utilization or the number of unaffiliated obligors on loans in the collateral; (iv) permit the Company to obtain a future subscription line of credit of up to $50 million; (v) revise the LIBOR replacement provisions; (vi) implement a 0.50% LIBOR floor and benchmark replacement rate floor on borrowings under the Credit Agreement; and (vii) revise certain of the borrowing base concentration limits.

On December 2, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment (the “December Credit Facility Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The December Credit Facility Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to: (i) increase the size of the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility to $215 million from $175 million; (ii) increase the accordion amount under the Credit Facility from a $200 million maximum aggregate commitment amount to a $300 million maximum aggregate commitment amount; and (iii) add Bank of Hope and First Foundation Bank as new Lenders and Managing Agents under the Credit Agreement. Borrowing under the Credit Facility remains subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the 1940 Act.

On June 1, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the “June Credit Facility Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The June Credit Facility Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to: (i) allow the Company to incur permitted indebtedness without the prior written consent of the Keybank National Association, as administrative agent, subject to the limitations described in the Credit Agreement; (ii) increase the accordion amount under the Credit Agreement from a $300 million maximum aggregate commitment amount to a $350 million maximum aggregate commitment amount; and (iii) amend certain other terms of the Credit Agreement.

On August 3, 2021, the Company further amended the fee letter (the “Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter”) to amend the first payment date of the minimum earnings fee, which will be payable annually starting on May 31, 2022. Under the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter, the Company will also pay a supplemental fee on the 15th calendar day of each month beginning August 16, 2021 and ending July 15, 2022 in an aggregate amount equal to $66,367, which is paid pro rata to the lenders listed in Schedule A of the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter. The Credit Agreement is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets and portfolio investments. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary covenants and events of default for secured revolving credit facilities of this nature, including, without limitation, maintenance of a tangible net worth as of the last day of each fiscal quarter in excess of the greater of (i) $125 million plus 75% of the net proceeds of sales of equity interests in the Company and (ii) the loan balance of the Company’s four largest obligors; maintenance of an asset coverage ratio as of the last day of each fiscal quarter that equals or exceeds the greater of 150% and the ratio otherwise applicable to the Company under the 1940 Act; maintenance of an interest coverage ratio as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of 2.00 to 1.00; maintenance of a minimum liquidity amount as of the last day of each fiscal quarter; net income not being negative for two consecutive fiscal quarters or any trailing 12‑month period; a limitation on incurring additional indebtedness without the prior written consent of the administrative agent (subject to limited exceptions); certain change-of-control events occur at the Company or the Company’s investment adviser; the departure of certain key persons from the Company or the Company’s investment adviser; RGC ceases to be the Company’s investment adviser; maintenance of business-development-company status and regulated-investment-company status; nonpayment; misrepresentation of representations and warranties; breach of covenant; and certain bankruptcy and liquidation events.

On April 20, 2022, the Company entered into a certain amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement”) that amended and restated the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2019. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the prior Credit Agreement to: (i) increase the commitment amount from $215 million to $225 million, (ii) increase the accordion amount from a $350 million maximum aggregate commitment amount to a $500 million maximum aggregate commitment amount; (iii) extend the maturity date and revolving period, (iv) calculate the interest rate based on SOFR (rather than LIBOR), and (v) amend certain other terms of the Prior Credit Agreement, including without limitation the borrowing base calculation and excess concentration measures. The availability period under the Credit Agreement expires on April 20, 2025, and is followed by a one-year amortization period. The stated maturity date under the Credit Agreement is April 20, 2026.

On June 30, 2022, the Company further increased the commitment amount under the Credit Agreement to $280 million under the previously available commitment capacity, pursuant to the accordion provisions.

Note 12 – Tax Information

Federal income tax regulations differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary in nature. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their appropriate tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.

The following table sets forth the tax cost basis and the estimated aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation from investments for federal income tax purposes as of and for the period ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021:

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10‑Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs and opinions, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “potential,” “predicts” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:

changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets, including changes from the impact of the current COVID 19 pandemic and market volatility resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine;
our ability to continue to effectively manage our business due to the disruptions caused by the current COVID‑19 pandemic;
an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies;
such an economic downturn could disproportionately impact the companies that we intend to target for investment, potentially causing us to experience a decrease in investment opportunities and diminished demand for capital from these companies;
a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets that could impair our lending and investment activities, including as a result of the COVID‑19 pandemic;
interest rate volatility that could adversely affect our results, particularly to the extent that we use leverage as part of our investment strategy;
the impact of interest and inflation rates on our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
our future operating results, including our ability to achieve objectives as a result of the COVID‑19 pandemic;
our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies, including the impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic thereon;
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives, including as a result of the COVID‑19 pandemic;
competition with other entities and our affiliates for investment opportunities;
the speculative and illiquid nature of our investments;
the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments;
the adequacy of our financing sources and working capital;
the loss of key personnel;
the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies and the impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic thereon;
the ability of our external investment adviser, Runway Growth Capital LLC (“RGC”), to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments and the impacts of the COVID‑19 pandemic thereon;
the ability of RGC to attract and retain highly talented professionals;

our ability to maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and as a business development company (“BDC”);
the occurrence of a disaster, such as a cyber-attack against us or against a third party that has access to our data or networks, a natural catastrophe, an industrial accident, failure of our disaster-recovery systems, or consequential employee error;
the effect of legal, tax, and regulatory changes; and
the other risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K, as modified by the annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2022 and March 14, 2022, respectively and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Although we believe the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in “Risk Factors” in in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K, as modified by the annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2022 and March 14, 2022, respectively.

We have based the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10‑Q on information available to us on the date of this Form 10‑Q, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we have filed or in the future may file with the SEC, including our annual reports on Form 10‑K, quarterly reports on Form 10‑Q and current reports on Form 8‑K.

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10‑Q.

Overview

We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment management company that was formed on August 31, 2015 as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. On August 18, 2021, we changed our name to “Runway Growth Finance Corp.” from “Runway Growth Credit Fund Inc.” We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, we have elected to be treated, have qualified, and intend to continue to qualify annually as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. If we fail to qualify as a RIC for any taxable year, we will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on any net taxable income for such year. As a BDC and a RIC, we are required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of our assets in “qualifying assets,” source-of-income limitations, asset diversification requirements, and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of our investment company taxable income and net tax-exempt interest.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). We will remain an emerging growth company until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our IPO on October 25, 2021, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1,070,000,000 or more, (ii) December 31 of the fiscal year in which we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b‑2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”), (which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million, measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months), or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, we will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

We are externally managed by RGC, an investment adviser that has registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Administrator, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RGC, provides all the administrative services necessary for us to operate.

In October 2015, in connection with our formation, we issued and sold 1,667 shares of common stock to R. David Spreng, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. The sale of shares of common stock was approved by the unanimous consent of the sole director at the time. On December 1, 2017, we completed

52


Table of Contents

our Initial Private Offering, in which we issued 18,241,157 shares of our common stock to stockholders for a total purchase price of $275,000,000 in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and other applicable securities laws.

As of June 30, 2022, we had completed multiple closings under our second private offering (the “Second Private Offering”) and had accepted aggregate capital commitments of $181,673,500. As of June 30, 2022, in connection with the Second Private Offering we have issued 9,617,379 shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of $144,260,683. Concurrent with the IPO, all undrawn commitments under the Second Private Offering were cancelled.

On October 25, 2021, we closed our IPO, issuing 6,850,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $14.60 per share. Net of underwriting fees and offering costs, we received net cash proceeds of $93.0 million. Our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “RWAY” on October 21, 2021.

As of June 30, 2022, we have issued 22,564 shares as an additional direct investment by Runway Growth Holdings LLC, an affiliate of RGC, for a total purchase price of $338,453. As of June 30, 2022, we have issued an additional 6,647,847 shares as part of our dividend reinvestment plan. Refer to Note 6 for further detail.

On August 10, 2020, we, RGC, and certain other funds and accounts sponsored or managed by RGC and/or its affiliates were granted an order (the “Order”) that permits us greater flexibility than the 1940 Act permits to negotiate the terms of co-investments if the Board determines that it would be advantageous for us to co-invest with other accounts sponsored or managed by RGC or its affiliates in a manner consistent with our investment objective or criteria, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. We believe that the ability to co-invest with similar investment structures and accounts sponsored or managed by RGC or its affiliates will provide additional investment opportunities and the ability to achieve greater diversification. Under the terms of the Order, a majority of our independent directors are required to make certain determinations in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our investment objective, criteria, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors.

On June 15, 2022, we filed an amendment to our existing Order to permit us to, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, co-invest in our existing portfolio companies with certain affiliates that are private funds even if such other funds had not previously invested in such existing portfolio company. Without this order, such affiliated funds that are private funds would not be able to participate in such co-investments with us unless the affiliated funds had previously acquired securities of the portfolio company in a co-investment transaction with us.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, our debt investment portfolio had a dollar-weighted annualized yield of 15.11% and 13.44%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, our debt investment portfolio had a dollar-weighted annualized yield of 15.25% and 14.11%, respectively. We calculate the yield on dollar-weighted debt investments for any period measured as (1) total related investment income during the period divided by (2) the daily average of the fair value of debt investments outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2022, our debt investments had a dollar-weighted average outstanding term of 49 months at origination and a dollar-weighted average remaining term of 39 months, or approximately 3.2 years. As of June 30, 2022, substantially all of our debt investments had an original committed principal amount of between $6 million and $85 million, repayment terms of between 34 months and 60 months and pay cash interest at annual interest rates of between 7.03% and 13.03%.

We calculate the dollar-weighted annualized yield on average investment type for any period as (a) total related investment income during the period divided by (b) the daily average of the fair value of the investment type outstanding during the period. The dollar-weighted annualized yield represents the portfolio yield and will be higher than what investors will realize because it does not reflect our expenses or any sales load paid by investors.
(2)
We calculate the dollar-weighted annualized yield on average investment type for any period as (a) total related investment income during the period divided by (b) the daily average of the investment type outstanding during the period, at amortized cost. The dollar-weighted annualized yield represents the portfolio yield and will be higher than what investors will realize because it does not reflect our expenses or any sales load paid by investors.

Investment Activity

The value of our investment portfolio will change over time due to changes in the fair value of our underlying investments, as well as changes in the composition of our portfolio resulting from purchases of new and follow-on investments as well as repayments and sales of existing investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company funded $151.2 million in six new portfolio companies and $82.3 million in nine existing portfolio companies, net of upfront loan origination fees. The Company also received $88.2 million in loan repayments from four portfolio companies and $5.9 million in proceeds from the termination of warrants, sale of preferred stock, and sale of common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company funded $81.5 million in six new portfolio companies and $52.2 million in eight existing portfolio companies. The Company also received $94.7 million in loan repayments from nine portfolio companies.

Asset Quality

In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, RGC uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the quality of our debt investment portfolio. Equity securities and Treasury Bills are not graded. This debt investment rating system uses a five-level numeric scale. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:

Investment
Rating

 

Rating Definition

 

 

 

1

 

Performing above plan and/or strong enterprise profile, value, financial performance/coverage. Maintaining full covenant and payment compliance as agreed.

2

 

Performing at or reasonably close to plan. Acceptable business prospects, enterprise value, financial coverage. Maintaining key covenant and payment compliance as agreed. All new loans are initially graded Category 2.

3

 

Performing below plan of record. Potential elements of concern over performance, trends and business outlook. Loan-to-value remains adequate. Potential key covenant non-compliance. Full payment compliance.

4

 

Performing materially below plan. Non-compliant with material financial covenants. Payment default/deferral could result without corrective action. Requires close monitoring. Business prospects, enterprise value and collateral coverage declining. These investments may be in workout, and there is a possibility of loss of return but no loss of principal is expected.

5

 

Going concern nature in question. Substantial decline in enterprise value and all coverages. Covenant and payment default imminent if not currently present. Investments are nearly always in workout. May experience partial and/or full loss.

The global COVID-19 pandemic, to date, has had limited impact on the investment ratings of our debt investments, taken as a whole. However, the ongoing impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and we can make no assurances that the pandemic or changes in the macroeconomic environment will not have a negative impact on our investment portfolio in the future.

Loans and Debt Securities on Non-Accrual Status

Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. As of June 30, 2022, we had one loan to Pivot3 Holdings, Inc., representing an aggregate principal funded of $19,172,353 at a fair value of $5,521,301 on non-accrual status, which represents 0.95% of the Company’s net assets. As of December 31, 2021, we had six loans to Mojix, Inc. and one loan to Pivot3 Holdings, Inc., representing an aggregate principal funded of $30,278,707 at a fair value of $28,259,976, on non-accrual status, which represented 4.66% of our net assets.

Results of Operations

An important measure of our financial performance is net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income/(loss), net realized gain/(loss) and net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation). Net investment income/(loss) is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating expenses, including interest on borrowed funds. Net realized gain/(loss) on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost. Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio.

Investment Income

Our investment objective is to maximize total return to our stockholders primarily through current income on our loan portfolio, and secondarily through capital appreciation on our warrants and other equity positions. We intend to achieve our investment objective by investing in high growth-potential, private companies. We typically invest in senior secured and second lien secured loans that generally fall into two strategies: Sponsored Growth Lending and Non-Sponsored Growth Lending. Our Sponsored Growth Lending strategy also typically includes the receipt of warrants and/or other equity from venture-backed companies. We expect our investments in loans will generally range from between $5.0 million to $75.0 million, and the upper end of this range may increase as we raise additional capital.

We generate revenue in the form of interest on the debt securities that we hold and distributions and capital gains on other interests that we acquire in our portfolio companies. We expect that the debt we invest in will generally have stated terms of 36 to 60 months. Interest on debt securities is generally payable quarterly or semiannually, primarily based on a floating rate index, and subject to certain floors determined by market rates at the time the investment is made. In some cases, some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest generally will become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment and other fees in connection with transactions. Original issue discounts and market discounts or premiums will be capitalized, and we will accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income. Dividend income, if any, will be recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts.

Included in investment income are non-recurring fees primarily comprised of early prepayment fees and unamortized original issue discounts recorded as interest income. Other non-recurring income consisting of amendment fees, legal fees, reimbursable income, and any other fee income for services rendered, if any, are recorded as other income when earned.

Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $25,158,090 and $18,745,602, respectively, and includes non-recurring income of $1,825,151 and $2,966,937, respectively. The increase in investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to interest income and driven by our deployment of capital, increased invested balance, prepayments, end-of-term payments, and increased market interest rates.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments

The net realized gain on investments of $903,722 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the gain on a portion of our investment in the common stock of Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. The net realized loss on investments of $4,595,853 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the loss on a portion of our investment in the preferred stock of CareCloud, Inc.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments

Net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $16,199,638 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to decreases in the fair value of our senior secured loan to Pivot3 Holdings, Inc. and common stock of Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. The net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $33,281 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments

The net realized gain on investments of $532,461 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the gain on a portion of our investment in the common stock of Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. partially offset by the loss on our investments in the preferred stock and warrants in CareCloud, Inc. The net realized loss on investments of $4,795,077 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the loss on a portion of our investment in the preferred stock of CareCloud, Inc.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments

Net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $25,435,174 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to decreases in the fair value of our senior secured loan to Pivot3 Holdings, Inc., common stock of Brilliant Earth Group, Inc., and common stock of Coginiti Corp. The net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $1,944,463 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to decreases in the fair value of our senior secured loans to Pivot3 Holdings, Inc. and our investment in the preferred stock of Pivot3 Holdings, Inc.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

We had a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $2,035,757 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $16,082,671 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The net decrease in net assets resulting from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in unrealized depreciation in our portfolio and an increase in operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of the offering of our securities and cash flows from our 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 Agreement (discussed below). We expect that we may also generate cash from any financing arrangements we may enter into in the future and any future offerings of our equity or debt securities. We may fund a portion of our investments through borrowings from banks and issuances of senior securities, which may be secured or unsecured, through registered offerings or private placements. Our primary use of funds is to make investments in eligible portfolio companies, pay our operating expenses and make distributions to holders of our common stock.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents increased to $6,809,818 from $4,696,693 as of December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily the result of the purchase of investments in portfolio companies and was partially offset by the

See “Note 10 – Borrowings” to our financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10‑Q for more information.

Borrowings

On December 10, 2021, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement governing the issuance of $70,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2026 Senior Notes to institutional accredited investors (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) in a private placement. The 2026 Senior Notes were issued in two closings. The initial issuance of $20 million 2026 Senior Notes closed on December 10, 2021 and the second and final issuance of $50 million closed on February 10, 2022.

The 2026 Senior Notes bear an interest rate of 4.25% per year and are due on December 10, 2026, unless redeemed, purchased or prepaid prior to such date by us or our affiliates in accordance with their terms. Interest on the 2026 Senior Notes will be due semiannually. The interest rate is subject to a 1.00% increase in the event that, subject to certain exceptions, the 2026 Senior Notes cease to have an investment grade rating or receive an investment grade rating below the Investment Grade (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement). The 2026 Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by us.

Aggregate offering costs in connection with the 2026 Senior Notes issuance, including the underwriter’s discount and commissions, were $899,277 which were capitalized and deferred. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, unamortized deferred debt costs related to the 2026 Senior Notes were $814,748 and $376,029, respectively. See “Note 10—Borrowings” to our financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for more information on the 2026 Senior Notes.

On May 31, 2019, we entered into the Credit Agreement by and among us, as borrower, KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, syndication agent, and a lender, CIBC, as documentation agent and a lender, and U.S. Bank National Association, as paying agent. The Credit Agreement provides for borrowings up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $100 million, subject to availability under a borrowing base that is determined by the number and value of eligible loan investments in the collateral, applicable advance rates and concentration limits, and certain of our cash and cash equivalent holdings. The Credit Agreement has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the aggregate commitments up to $200 million, subject to new or existing lenders agreeing to participate in the increase and other customary conditions. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest on a per annum basis equal to a three-month adjusted LIBOR rate (with a LIBOR floor of zero), plus an applicable margin rate that varies from 3.00% to 2.50% per annum depending on utilization and other factors. During the availability period, the applicable margin rate (i) is 3.00% per annum for interest periods during which the average utilization is less than 60% and (ii) varies from 3.00% to 2.50% per annum when the average utilization equals or exceeds 60% (with 3.00% applying when the eligible loans in the collateral consist of 9 or fewer unaffiliated obligors, 2.75% applying when the eligible loans consist of between 10 and 29 unaffiliated obligors, and 2.50% applying when the eligible loans consist of 30 or more unaffiliated obligors). During the amortization period, the applicable margin rate will be 3.00%. If

62


Table of Contents

certain eurodollar disruption events occur, then borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest on a per annum basis equal to (i) a base rate instead of LIBOR that is set at the higher of (x) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (y) the prime rate, plus (ii) the applicable margin rate discussed above. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. We also pay unused commitment fees of 0.50% per annum on the unused lender commitments under the Credit Agreement, as well as a minimum earnings fee of 3.00% that will be payable annually in arrears, starting on May 31, 2021, on the average unused commitments below 60% of the aggregate commitments during the preceding 12‑month period. The availability period under the Credit Agreement expires on May 31, 2022 and is followed by a two-year amortization period. The stated maturity date under the Credit Agreement is May 31, 2024. The Credit Agreement is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets and portfolio investments.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, we amended the Credit Agreement and others to increase its size to $215 million, increase the accordion feature to $300 million, add additional lenders, implement a 0.50% LIBOR floor and benchmark replacement rate floor on borrowings under the Credit Agreement and modify certain pricing elements and other provisions. We also amended the fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) to revise the interest rate margin to be 3.00% for the remaining term of the Credit Agreement regardless of the Credit Agreement average utilization or the number of unaffiliated obligors on loans in the collateral.

During the second quarter of 2021, we amended the Credit Agreement to: (i) allow the Company to incur permitted indebtedness without the prior written consent of Keybank National Association, as administrative agent, subject to the limitations described in the Credit Agreement; (ii) increase the accordion amount under the Credit Agreement from a $300 million maximum aggregate commitment amount to a $350 million maximum aggregate commitment amount; and (iii) amend certain other terms of the Credit Agreement. See "Note 10—Borrowings" to our financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for more information on the Credit Agreement.

During the third quarter of 2021, we adopted the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter to amend the first payment date of the minimum earnings fee, which will be payable annually starting on May 31, 2022. Under the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter, we the Company will also pay a supplemental fee on the 15th calendar day of each month beginning August 16, 2021 and ending July 15, 2022 in an aggregate amount equal to $66,367, which is paid pro rata to the lenders listed in Schedule A of the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we drew down $173,000,000 on the Credit Agreement and repaid $71,000,000, of which $163,000,000 remains outstanding at June 30, 2022. We anticipate continued usage of the Credit Agreement as well as other potential debt financing alternatives to fund future portfolio growth. At June 30, 2022, interest was accruing at a rate of 3.97%. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we drew down $161,000,000 on the Credit Agreement and repaid $199,000,000 of which $61,000,000 remained outstanding at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2021, interest was accruing at a rate of 3.50%. See “Note 10– Borrowings” to our financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10‑Q for more information on the Credit Agreement.

For more information regarding the Credit Agreement, see “Recent Developments.”

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices.

Distributions

To the extent that we have funds available, we intend to make quarterly distributions to our stockholders. Our stockholder distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors. Any distribution to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. We anticipate that distributions will be paid from income primarily generated by interest and dividend income earned on investments made by us.

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.

If newly issued shares are used to implement the dividend reinvestment plan, the number of shares to be issued to a shareholder will be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the cash dividend or distribution payable to a shareholder by the market price per share of our common stock at the close of regular trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the payment date of a distribution, or if no sale is reported for such day, the average of the reported bid and ask prices. However, if the market price per share on the payment date of a cash dividend or distribution exceeds the most recently computed net asset value per share, we will issue shares at the

63


Table of Contents

greater of (i) the most recently computed net asset value per share and (ii) 95% of the current market price per share (or such lesser discount to the current market price per share that still exceeded the most recently computed net asset value per share).

If shares are purchased in the open market to implement the dividend reinvestment plan, the number of shares to be issued to a shareholder shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the cash dividend payable to such shareholder by the weighted average price per share for all shares purchased by the plan administrator in the open market in connection with the dividend.

The number of shares to be issued to a participant in the dividend reinvestment plan are rounded downward to the nearest whole number to avoid the issuance of fractional shares, and any fractional share otherwise issuable to a participant but for this provision is instead be paid to such participant in cash contemporaneously with the issuance of such shares in connection with such cash dividend.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we declared and paid dividends in the amount of $12,382,340 and $23,555,007, respectively, of which $10,172,229 and $13,925,314, respectively, was distributed in cash and the remainder distributed in shares to stockholders pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we declared and paid dividends in the amount of $44,942,937, of which $17,948,126 was distributed in cash and the remainder distributed in shares to stockholders pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.

The timing and amount of our distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors and will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. The following table shows the dividends per share declared since our formation through June 30, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our 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 financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period reports. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We believe that our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, include the valuation of investments and our election to be treated, and intent to qualify annually, as a RIC. See “Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10‑Q, which describes our critical accounting policies and recently adopted accounting pronouncements not yet required to be adopted by us.

Valuation of Investments

We measure the value of our portfolio investments at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC Topic 820”) issued by the FASB. Fair value is 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.

64


Table of Contents

The Audit Committee assists our Board of Directors in valuing investments that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our Board of Directors, with the assistance of the Audit Committee, RGC and its senior investment team and independent valuation agents, is responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value of such portfolio investments in accordance with the valuation policy approved by our Board of Directors. If more than one valuation method is used to measure fair value, the results are evaluated and weighted, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results. We consider a range of fair values based upon the valuation techniques utilized and select the value within that range that was most representative of fair value based on current market conditions as well as other factors RGC’s senior investment team considers relevant.

Our Board of Directors makes this fair value determination on a quarterly basis and any other time when a decision regarding the fair value of the portfolio investments is required. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates and depends on the facts and circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below:

Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2—Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable.
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models incorporating significant unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models and other similar valuations techniques. The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities generally requires significant management judgment due to the inability to observe inputs to valuation.

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 observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The 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.

Under ASC Topic 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset, which may be a hypothetical market, and excludes transaction costs. The principal market for any asset is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for such asset in which the reporting entity would or could sell or transfer the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under ASC Topic 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to such market as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our Board of Directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company investment being initially valued by RGC’s investment professionals that are responsible for the portfolio investment;
Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with RGC’s senior investment team;
At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment is reviewed by one or more independent valuation firms. Certain investments, however, may not be evaluated by the applicable independent valuation firm if the net asset value and other aspects of such investments in the aggregate do not exceed certain thresholds;

65


Table of Contents

The Audit Committee then reviews these preliminary valuations from RGC and the applicable independent valuation firm, if any, and makes a recommendation to our Board of Directors regarding such valuations; and
Our Board of Directors reviews the recommended preliminary valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio, in good faith, based on the input of RGC, the applicable independent valuation firm and the Audit Committee.

Our investments are primarily loans made to high growth-potential companies focused in technology, life sciences, healthcare information and services, business services, select consumer services and products and other high-growth industries. These investments are considered Level 3 assets under ASC Topic 820 because there is no known or accessible market or market indices for these types of debt instruments and, thus, RGC’s senior investment team must estimate the fair value of these investment securities based on models utilizing unobservable inputs.

Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act was adopted by the SEC in December 2020 and establishes a framework for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting Rule 2a-5 on the financial statements and intends to comply with the new rule’s requirements on or before the compliance date in September 2022.

Investment Valuation Techniques

Debt Investments. To determine the fair value of our debt investments, we compare the cost basis of the debt investment, which includes original issue discount, to the resulting fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model, unless another model is more appropriate based on the circumstances at the measurement date. The discounted cash flow approach entails analyzing the interest rate spreads for recently completed financing transactions that are similar in nature to our investments, in order to determine a comparable range of effective market interest rates for our investments. The range of interest rate spreads utilized is based on borrowers with similar credit profiles. All remaining expected cash flows of the investment are discounted using this range of interest rates to determine a range of fair values for the debt investment.

This valuation process includes, among other things, evaluating the underlying investment performance, the portfolio company’s current financial condition and ability to raise additional capital, as well as macro-economic events that may impact valuations. These events include, but are not limited to, current market yields and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. Significant increases or decreases in these unobservable inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement; however, a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in these unobservable inputs; however, a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in these unobservable inputs.

Under certain circumstances, we may use an alternative technique to value the debt investments to be acquired by us that better reflects the fair value of the investment, such as the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or a binding offer received in an arms-length transaction, the use of multiple probability-weighted cash flow models when the expected future cash flows contain elements of variability or estimates of proceeds that would be received in a liquidation scenario.

Warrants. Fair value of warrants is primarily determined using a Black Scholes option-pricing model. Privately held warrants and equity-related securities are valued based on an analysis of various factors including, but not limited to, the following:

Underlying enterprise value of the issuer is estimated based on information available, including any information regarding the most recent rounds of issuer funding. Valuation techniques to determine enterprise value include market multiple approaches, income approaches or approaches that utilize recent rounds of financing and the portfolio company’s capital structure to determine enterprise value. Valuation techniques are also utilized to allocate the enterprise fair value of a portfolio company to the specific class of common or preferred stock exercisable in the warrant. Such techniques take into account the rights and preferences of the portfolio company’s securities, expected exit scenarios, and volatility associated with such outcomes to allocate the fair value to the specific class of stock held in the portfolio. Such techniques include Option Pricing Models, or “OPM,” including back-solve techniques, Probability Weighted Expected Return Models, or “PWERM,” and other techniques as determined to be appropriate.
Volatility, or the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of the changes in the warrant price, is based on comparable publicly traded companies within indices similar in nature to the underlying company issuing the warrant. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value, but a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in this unobservable input.

The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The risk-free interest rates are calculated based on a weighted average of the risk-free interest rates that correspond closest to the expected remaining life of the warrant. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value, but a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in this unobservable input.
Other adjustments, including a marketability discount on private company warrants, are estimated based on our judgment about the general industry environment. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value, but a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in this unobservable input.
Historical portfolio experience on cancellations and exercises of warrants are utilized as the basis for determining the estimated life of the warrants in each financial reporting period. Warrants may be exercised in the event of acquisitions, mergers or IPOs, and cancelled due to events such as bankruptcies, restructuring activities or additional financings. These events cause the expected remaining life assumption to be shorter than the contractual term of the warrants. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value, but a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in this unobservable input.

Under certain circumstances we may use an alternative technique to value warrants that better reflects the warrants’ fair values, such as an expected settlement of a warrant in the near term, a model that incorporates a put feature associated with the warrant, or the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or binding offer received in an arms-length transaction. The fair value may be determined based on the expected proceeds to be received from such settlement or based on the net present value of the expected proceeds from the put option.

These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment. There is no single standard for determining the fair value of investments that do not have an active public market. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, as they are based on estimates, and their values may fluctuate over time. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market for these investments existed. In some cases, the fair value of such investments is best expressed as a range of values derived utilizing different methodologies from which a fair value may then be determined.

Equity Investments. The fair value of an equity investment in a privately held company is initially the face value of the amount invested. We adjust the fair value of equity investments in private companies upon the completion of a new third-party round of equity financing subsequent to our investment. We may make adjustments to fair value, absent a new equity financing event, based upon positive or negative changes in a portfolio company’s financial or operational performance. We may also reference comparable transactions and/or secondary market transactions in connection with our determination of fair value. The fair value of an equity investment in a publicly traded company is based upon the closing public share price on the date of measurement. These assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment. There is no single standard for determining the fair value of investments that do not have an active public market. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, as they are based on estimates, and their values may fluctuate over time. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market for these investments existed. In some cases, the fair value of such investments is best expressed as a range of values derived utilizing different methodologies from which a fair value may then be determined.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income

Security transactions, if any, are recorded on a trade-date basis. We measure realized gains or losses from the repayment or sale of investments using the specific identification method. The amortized cost basis of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts and premiums and upfront loan origination fees. We report changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on the statement of operations.

Dividends are recorded on the applicable ex-dividend date. Interest income, if any, adjusted for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. OID, principally representing the estimated fair value of detachable equity or warrants obtained in conjunction with our debt investments, loan origination fees, end of term payments, and market discount or premium are capitalized and accreted or amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees received in connection with the closing of investments are reported as unearned income, which is included as amortized cost of the investment; the unearned income from such fees is accreted over the contractual life of the loan based on the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties, unamortized loan origination fees, end of term payments and unamortized market discounts are recorded as interest income.

Management and Incentive Fees

We accrue for base management fees and incentive fees. The accrual for incentive fees includes the recognition of incentive fees on unrealized capital gains, even though such incentive fees are neither earned nor payable to RGC until the gains are both realized and in excess of unrealized depreciation on investments. See “Note 7 –Related Party Agreements and Transactions” to our financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10‑Q for more information on the Advisory Agreement and the fee structure thereunder.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated, have qualified and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to U.S. federal income taxes on distributed income and gains if it distributes at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of its net long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. So long as we qualify, and maintain our status, as a RIC, we generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute at least annually to our stockholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned by us represents obligations of our investors and will not be reflected in the financial statements of the Company. We intend to make sufficient distributions to maintain our RIC tax treatment each year and we do not anticipate paying any material U.S. federal income taxes in the future.

Recent Developments

We evaluated events subsequent to June 30, 2022 through August 4, 2022.

On July 19, 2022, we funded an investment of $4,000,000 to Intellisite Holdings, Inc. (dba Epic IO Technologies, Inc.).

 

On July 28, 2022, we entered into the First Supplemental Indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture with the U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), dated July 28, 2022, between us and the Trustee (together with the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). The First Supplemental Indenture relates to our issuance, offer and sale of $80.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.50% Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement. Net of underwriting fees, we received total net cash proceeds of $78.1 million, before expenses.

Table of Contents

 

The 2027 Notes will mature on July 28, 2027, unless previously redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The interest rate of the 2027 Notes is 7.50% per year and will be paid quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2022. The 2027 Notes are our direct unsecured obligations and rank pari passu with our existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness, including the 2026 Senior Notes; senior to any of our future indebtedness that expressly provides it is subordinated to the 2027 Notes; effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness that is initially unsecured to which the Company subsequently grants security), to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including, without limitation, borrowings under our Credit Agreement; and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of any of our existing or future subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities, including the Credit Agreement.

 

The 2027 Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option on or after July 28, 2024, upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days written notice by mail prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof, at a redemption price of $25 per 2027 Note plus accrued and unpaid interest payments otherwise payable for the then-current quarterly interest period accrued to the date fixed for redemption.

On July 28, 2022, we declared a dividend of $0.33 per share payable on August 23, 2022 to shareholders of record as of August 9, 2022.

On July 29, 2022, our investment in FiscalNote, Inc. was refinanced resulting in $10,000,000 of the original investment being prepaid and a new investment of $65,000,000.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We commenced investment activities in portfolio securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and commenced investment activities in U.S. Treasury Bills during the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

We are subject to financial market risk, including changes in the valuations of our investment portfolio. Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. The prices of securities held by us may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies we invest in; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; legislative reform; local, regional, national or global political, social or economic instability; and interest rate fluctuations.

Valuation Risk

Our investments may not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors 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. 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

Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, variability of spread relationships, the difference in re-pricing intervals between our assets and liabilities and the effect that interest rates may have on our cash flows. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest earning assets and our interest expense incurred in connection with our interest-bearing debt and liabilities. Changes in interest rates can also affect, among other things, our ability to acquire and originate loans and securities and the value of our investment portfolio. Our net investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have reduced certain interest rates and LIBOR has decreased. In a prolonged low interest rate environment, including a reduction of LIBOR 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.

Table of Contents

We typically expect that interest rates on the investments held in our portfolio will be based on LIBOR, SOFR or U.S. Prime Rate, with many of these investments also having a floor. As of June 30, 2022, 98%, or $700,683,844 (at cost), of our debt portfolio investments bore interest at variable rates, which are U.S. Prime Rate, SOFR or LIBOR-based and subject to certain floors, and one of our debt portfolio investments bore interest at a fixed rate. Interest rate floors are established based on prevailing rates at the time of the investment. As a policy, any interest above the cash cap, if applicable, as determined on an individual loan basis, will accrue to principal and be treated as PIK interest. A hypothetical 200 basis point increase or decrease in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt investments could increase our investment income by a maximum of $15,259,115 and decrease our investment income by a maximum of $10,418,547, due to certain floors, on an annual basis. In a low interest rate environment, debt investments with interest rate floors substantially in excess of current prevailing interest rates may be more likely to experience early termination.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our election at the time of drawdown, at a rate per annum equal to the SOFR rate for the applicable interest period, subject to a SOFR rate floor of 0.15%, plus (1) 3.35% at any time that there are fourteen or fewer obligors that are not affiliates of the Company with respect to the loan; (2) 3.10% at any time that there are fifteen or more obligors that are not affiliates but fewer than thirty obligors that are not affiliates with respect to the loan; and (3) 2.95% at any time that there are thirty or more obligors that are not affiliates with respect to the loan; and (b) when the Company’s leverage ratio on the last day of the immediately preceding interest period was greater than 1.0x, 3.35%.

On March 5, 2021, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that (i) 24 LIBOR settings would cease to exist immediately after December 31, 2021 (all seven euro LIBOR settings; all seven Swiss franc LIBOR settings; the Spot Next, 1-week, 2-month, and 12-month Japanese yen LIBOR settings; the overnight, 1-week, 2-month, and 12-month sterling LIBOR settings; and the 1-week and 2-month US dollar LIBOR settings) and (ii) the overnight and 1, 3, 6 and 12-month US LIBOR settings would cease to exist after June 30, 2023; and (iii) the FCA would consult on whether the remaining LIBOR settings should continue to be published on a synthetic basis for a certain period using the FCA’s proposed new powers that the UK government is legislating to grant to them. Additionally, on March 15, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, which among other things, provides for the use of interest rates based on SOFR in certain contracts currently based on LIBOR and a safe harbor from liability for utilizing SOFR-based interest rates as a replacement for LIBOR.

The elimination of LIBOR could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any LIBOR-linked securities, loans, and other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to us or on our overall financial condition or results of operations. In addition, we may need to renegotiate agreements extending beyond 2021 with our portfolio companies that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate, in order to replace LIBOR with the new standard that is established, which may have an adverse effect on our overall financial condition or results of operations. Following the replacement of LIBOR, some or all of these agreements may bear interest a lower interest rate, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. In addition, the amendments to the terms of our Credit Agreement in connection with the discontinuation of LIBOR may cause the Credit Agreement to bear interest at a higher rate, which would increase the cost of our borrowings and, in turn, affect our results of operations.

Because we currently borrow, and plan to borrow in the future, money to make investments, our net investment income would be dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest the funds borrowed. Accordingly, 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 periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income if there is not a corresponding increase in interest income generated by our investment portfolio.

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. We may hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options 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 benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates.

In addition, any investments we make that are denominated in a foreign currency will be subject to risks associated with changes in currency exchange rates. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved, and may be exacerbated by market disruptions, including the continued impact of the the COVID 19 pandemic on foreign financial markets.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be 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. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. While the outcome of any such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that any such proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the risks described below and all other information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10‑Q, including our interim financial statements and the related notes thereto, before making a decision to purchase our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, you may lose all or part of your investment. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes known to us during the period ended June 30, 2022 to the risk factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K, as modified by the annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2022 and March 14, 2022, respectively.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine may have a material adverse impact on us and our portfolio companies.

On February 24, 2022, the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, announced a military invasion of Ukraine. In response, countries worldwide, including the United States, have imposed sanctions against Russia on certain businesses and individuals, including, but not limited to, those in the banking, import and export sectors. This invasion has led, is currently leading, and for an unknown period of time will continue to lead to disruptions in local, regional, national, and global markets and economies affected thereby. These disruptions caused by the invasion have included, and may continue to include, political, social, and economic disruptions and uncertainties that may affect our business operations or the business operations of our portfolio companies.
