Management Commentary

“OFS had a solid first quarter despite a challenging period for the loan market,” said Bilal Rashid, OFS Credit’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to prudently deploy additional capital in the quarter at what we believe are attractive yields. In February, the Board declared monthly distributions through April 2019."

"Looking forward, we are focused on increasing the asset base in order to grow net investment income. We believe our commitment to capital preservation and strong long-term performance is aligned with the interests of OFS Capital Management, LLC, our investment advisor, who together with other insiders own approximately 13% of our common stock."

"We believe our investment advisor is uniquely positioned to advise OFS Credit given its expertise in both structuring and investing in CLO equity, combined with its long-standing experience investing in corporate loans that serve as the underlying collateral in CLOs. We believe OFS Credit is one of the few options today for investors to access the CLO asset class, in an exchanged-traded vehicle."

Distributions

On February 8, 2019, our Board declared the following distributions on common shares.
