(a) All of the Company's investments, except the investments noted by this footnote, are qualifying assets under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

At June 30, 2022, qualifying assets represent 95.8% of the Company's total assets. The significant majority of all investments held are deemed to be illiquid.
(b) Percentages are based on net assets attributable to common stock as of June 30, 2022.
(c) The fair value of investments with respect to securities for which market quotations are not readily available is determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors (as defined below) as required by the 1940 Act. Such investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).

(a) All of the Company's investments, except the investments noted by this footnote, are qualifying assets under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets. At December 31, 2021, qualifying assets represent 94.5% of the Company's total assets. The significant majority of all investments held are deemed to be illiquid.
(b) Percentages are based on net assets attributable to common stock as of December 31, 2021.
(c) The fair value of investments with respect to securities for which market quotations are not readily available is determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors (as defined below) as required by the 1940 Act. Such investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).
(d) All amounts are in thousands except share amounts.
(e) Non-income producing at December 31, 2021.
(f) The Company has various unfunded commitments to portfolio companies. Please refer to Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies for details of these unfunded commitments.
(g) Unless otherwise indicated, all investments in the consolidated schedule of investments are non-affiliated, non-controlled investments.
(h) The Company's investment or a portion thereof is pledged as collateral under the MS Credit Facility (as defined in Note 5).
(i) The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR" or "L") or Prime ("P") and which reset daily, monthly, quarterly, or semiannually. For each, the Company has provided the spread over LIBOR or Prime and the current interest rate in effect at December 31, 2021. Certain investments are subject to a LIBOR or Prime interest rate floor. For fixed rate loans, a spread above a reference rate is not applicable. For floating rate securities the all-in rate is disclosed within parentheses.
(j) The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments further based on the level of ownership that the company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally deemed as “non-affiliated” when the Company owns less than 5% of a portfolio company’s voting securities and “affiliated” when the Company owns 5% or more of a portfolio company’s voting securities. The Company classifies this investment as “affiliated”.
(k) The provisions of the 1940 Act classify investments based on the level of control that the Company maintains in a particular portfolio company. As defined in the 1940 Act, a company is generally presumed to be “non-controlled” when the Company owns 25% or less of the portfolio company’s voting securities and/or does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. A company is generally presumed to be “controlled” when the Company owns more than 25% of the portfolio company’s voting securities and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company.

Note 1 - Organization
Franklin BSP Capital Corporation (the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and 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 as a Delaware limited liability company on January 29, 2020 and converted to a Delaware corporation on September 23, 2020 pursuant to which Franklin BSP Capital Corporation succeeded to the business of Franklin BSP Capital L.L.C. The Company commenced investment operations on January 7, 2021.
The Company is managed by Franklin BSP Capital Adviser L.L.C. (the “Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. (“Benefit Street Partners” or “BSP”) pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Adviser oversees the management of the Company’s activities and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to the Company’s portfolio.
The Company’s investment objective is to generate both current income capital and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company invests primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. The Company defines middle market companies as those with annual revenues up to $1 billion, although the Company may invest in larger or smaller companies. The Company also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions.
The Company is conducting a private placement of shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Each investor in the private placement will make a capital commitment (the “Capital Commitments”) to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a subscription agreement (a “Subscription Agreement”). Investors will be required to make capital contributions to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Drawdown Purchase Price”) each time the Company delivers a drawdown notice (the “Drawdown Notice”), which will be delivered at least ten business days prior to the required funding date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed their respective Capital Commitments.
The Company is also conducting a private placement of shares of its preferred stock designated as series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) in reliance on exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. See Note 10 - Preferred Stock for the terms of such preferred stock, including liquidation preference, distributions, and rights regarding conversion to shares of Common Stock.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, both normal and recurring which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for the periods presented. The Company is an investment company and accordingly applies specific accounting and financial reporting requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies.
We have also formed and expect to continue to form consolidated subsidiaries (the "Consolidated Holding Companies"). The Company consolidates the following subsidiaries for accounting purposes: FBCC Lending I, LLC, and FBCC EEF Holdings LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, as appropriate. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements may not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022.
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 and disclosures in these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Consolidation
As provided under ASC 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a substantially or wholly-owned investment company or controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the accounts of the Company's substantially wholly-owned subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
Portfolio investments are reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis, the Company performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as follows:
Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined to be readily available, the Company uses the quote obtained.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the period ended June 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in fair value pricing the Company's investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
•Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by the Adviser, with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by the Company's board of directors (the “Board of Directors”); and
•The independent valuation firm(s) conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and
•The Board of Directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and independent valuation firm (to the extent applicable). On August 10, 2022, pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board of Directors has designated the Adviser as the Company’s valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to perform fair value determinations relating to the value of assets held by the Company. The Adviser also has established a Valuation Committee to assist the Adviser in carrying out its designated responsibilities that the Board of Directors has designated to the Adviser as Valuation Designee, subject to oversight of the Board of Directors.
Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in its portfolio, the Company values substantially all of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company's investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.
Investment Classification
The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “Control” is defined as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. In addition, in accordance with Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act, any person who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% of the voting securities of a company shall be presumed to control such company. Any person who does not so own more than 25% of the voting securities of any company shall be presumed not to control such company. Any person who does not so own more than 25% of the voting securities of any company and/or does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company shall be presumed not to control such company. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Affiliated Investments” are defined as those investments in companies in which the Company owns 5% or more of the voting securities. Consistent with the 1940 Act, “Non-affiliated Investments” are defined as investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliated Investments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and short-term, liquid investments in a money market deposit account. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Organization and Offering Costs
Organization costs consist of costs incurred to establish the Company and enable it legally to do business. Organization costs are expensed as incurred. Offering costs consist of costs incurred in connection with the offering of common shares of the Company. Offering costs are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the commencement of operations.
The Company will bear the organization and offering expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the offering of shares of its Common Stock, including the out-of-pocket expenses of the Adviser and its agents and affiliates. In addition, the Company will reimburse the Adviser for the organization and offering costs it incurs on the Company’s behalf. If actual organization and offering costs incurred exceed the greater of $1 million or 0.10% of the Company’s total capital commitments, the Adviser or its affiliate will bear the excess costs. To the extent the Company’s capital commitments later increase, the Adviser or its affiliates may be reimbursed for past payments of excess organization and offering costs made on the Company’s behalf provided that the total organization and offering costs borne by the Company do not exceed 0.10% of total capital commitments and provided further that the Adviser or its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization and offering expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to the proposed reimbursement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no reimbursements from the Adviser.
In connection with the Company’s private placement of shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company incurred various offering costs. These costs are capitalized as a deferred cost and included within redeemable convertible preferred stock Series A on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as the preferred shares are issued. The costs are not subject to reimbursement from the Adviser.
Deferred Financing Costs
Financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s revolving credit facilities are capitalized and amortized into expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective yield method over the life of the respective facility. See Note 5 - Borrowings.
Convertible Preferred Stock
We record shares of convertible preferred stock based on proceeds received net of offering costs on the date of issuance. Redeemable preferred stock (including preferred stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity and is reported separately from liabilities and net assets attributable to common stock within the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.
Distributions
The Company’s Board of Directors authorizes and declares cash distributions payable on a quarterly basis to stockholders of record on each record date. The amount of each such distribution is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. The Company calculates each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the quarter using record and declaration dates. The distributions are payable by the fifth day following each record date. From time to time, the Company may also pay interim distributions, including capital gains distributions, at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s distributions may exceed earnings, especially during the period before it has substantially invested the proceeds from the offering. As a result, a portion of the distributions made by the Company may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is a return of each stockholder’s investment rather than earnings or gains derived from the Company’s investment activities.
The Company may fund cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including advances from the Adviser that are subject to reimbursement, as well as offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions.

Revenue Recognition
Interest Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments.
Dividend Income
Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.
Fee Income
Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment, termination, and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as income when earned, either upon receipt or amortized into income. Upon the re-payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and other upfront fees are recorded as income.
Payment-in-Kind Interest
The Company may hold debt investments in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and dividend provisions. PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest that add to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, is recorded on accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected.
Non-accrual Income
Investments may be placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest, which may include un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current.
Net Realized Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
Gain or loss on the sale of investments is calculated using the specific identification method. The Company measures realized gain or loss by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when a gain or loss is realized.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes in respect of each taxable year if it distributes dividends for federal income tax purposes to stockholders of an amount generally equal to at least 90% of “investment company taxable income,” as defined in the Code, and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. Distributions declared prior to the filing of the previous year's tax return and paid up to twelve months after the previous tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year in determining the distributions paid in such tax year. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its ability to be subject to be taxed as a RIC each year. The Company may be subject to federal excise tax imposed at a rate of 4% on certain undistributed amounts.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Company did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s fair value measurements are classified into a fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, if any, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter.
For investments for which Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices, were not available at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the investments were valued at fair value as determined in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board of Directors using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company's investments are trading, in determining fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the estimate of fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 may differ materially from values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.
In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the valuation policy approved by the Board of Directors. Portfolio investments are reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis the Company performs an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as described below.
Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the Company's investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, the Company uses the quote obtained.

As part of the Company's quarterly valuation process, the Adviser may be assisted by one or more independent valuation firms engaged by the Company. The Board of Directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and the independent valuation firm(s) (to the extent applicable).
Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to the consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations on the consolidated financial statements.

(b) This asset category contains one investment.
(c) This instrument(s) was held at cost.
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category include investments in privately held entities where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.
The income and market approaches were used in the determination of fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The significant unobservable inputs used in the income approach are the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. An increase in the discount rate or market yield would result in a decrease in the fair value. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates is risk of default, rating of the investment, call provisions and comparable company investments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the market approach are based on market comparable transactions and market multiples of publicly traded comparable companies. Increases or decreases in market comparable transactions or market multiples would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value.
Valuations of loans, corporate debt, and other debt obligations are generally based on discounted cash flow techniques, for which the significant inputs are the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, market yields and recovery assumptions. The significant inputs are generally determined based on relative value analysis, which incorporate comparisons to other debt instruments for which observable prices or broker quotes are available. Other valuation methodologies are used as appropriate including market comparables, transactions in similar instruments and recovery/liquidation analysis. The Company also considers the use of EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples, tangible net asset value multiples, TBV multiples, and other relevant multiples on its debt and equity investments to determine any credit gains or losses in certain instances. Increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the respective subject instrument.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no portfolio companies on non-accrual status. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - for additional details regarding the Company’s non-accrual policy.
Note 4 - Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Agreement
The Company entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to the Company.
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser a fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of two components - a base management fee (the “Management Fee”) and an incentive fee, which consists of two components (together, the “Incentive Fee”).
Management Fee
The Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, where gross assets includes the total assets of the Company, including any borrowings for investment purposes.
Prior to a liquidity event, the Management Fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement will be calculated at an annual rate of 0.5% of the Company’s average gross assets. A “1iquidity event” is defined as any of: (1) a merger or another transaction approved by the Board of Directors in which the Company’s stockholders will receive cash or shares of a publicly traded company (or a company that becomes publicly traded concurrently with the closing of such transaction), which may include an entity advised by the Adviser or its affiliates, (2) an initial public offering (“IPO”) or a listing (an “Exchange Listing”) of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange, or (3) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either on a complete portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation.
After a liquidity event, the Management Fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement will be calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Company’s average gross assets, provided, that the Management Fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Company’s average gross assets purchased with borrowed funds above 1.0x debt-to-equity (equivalent to $1 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity), and provided further that for a period of 15 months commencing on the date of the closing of a Liquidity Event, the Adviser will irrevocably waive Management Fees in excess of 0.5% of the Company’s average gross assets. Any fees waived under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not subject to reimbursement to the Adviser.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $0.8 million and $0.5 million was payable to the Adviser for Management Fees, respectively.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in Management Fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in Management Fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Incentive Fee
The Company will also pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee consisting of two parts, which are described below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Adviser will waive all Incentive Fees for the first twelve calendar quarters of operations of the Company.
The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part is referred to as the “incentive fee on income” and it is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter.

“Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, other than fees for providing managerial assistance, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (as defined below) and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. For purposes of computing the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, the calculation methodology will look through total return swaps as if the Company owned the referenced assets directly.
For periods ending on or prior to the date of the closing of a Liquidity Event, the incentive fee on income with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income will be calculated as follows:
•No incentive fee on income in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the preferred return rate of 1.50%, or 6.00% annualized (the “Preferred Return”), on net assets;
•100% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Preferred Return but is less than or equal to 1.765% in any calendar quarter (7.06% annualized). This portion of the incentive fee on income is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 15% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 1.765% (7.06% annualized) in any calendar quarter; and
•For any quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 1.765% (7.06% annualized), the incentive fee on income equals 15% of the amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as the Preferred Return and catch-up will have been achieved.
For any period ending after the closing of a Liquidity Event, the incentive fee on income for each quarter will be calculated as follows:
•No incentive fee on income in any calendar quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Preferred Return of 1.50%, or 6.00% annualized, on net assets;
•100% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Preferred Return but is less than or equal to 1.8175% in any calendar quarter (7.27% annualized), which portion of the incentive fee on income is referred to as the “catch up” and is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 17.5% on all of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches 1.8175% (7.27% annualized) in any calendar quarter; and
•For any quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 1.8175% (7.27% annualized), the incentive fee on income equals 17.5% of the amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, as the Preferred Return and catch-up will have been achieved.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a period of 15 months commencing on the date of the closing of a Liquidity Event, the Adviser will irrevocably waive any incentive fee on income otherwise payable in excess of any amounts calculated at the pre-IPO or pre-Exchange Listing rates. Any fees waived under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not subject to reimbursement to the Adviser. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in incentive fees on income, none of which was payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not incur incentive fees on income during operations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

The second part of the incentive fee, referred to as the “incentive fee on capital gains during operations,” is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on cumulative realized capital gains of the Company net of cumulative realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, if earlier). Prior to a Liquidity Event, this fee equals 15% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains, which equals realized capital gains of the Company on a cumulative basis from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains during operations. Following a Liquidity Event, the incentive fee on capital gains during operations equals 17.5% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains calculated as described above, on a cumulative basis from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC.
U.S. GAAP requires that the incentive fee accrual be calculated assuming a hypothetical liquidation of the Company based upon investments held at the end of each period. In such a calculation, in order to calculate the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee in accordance with U.S. GAAP for a given period, the Company includes unrealized appreciation in calculating the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee even though such unrealized appreciation is not included in in calculating the capital gains incentive fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. There can be no assurance that such unrealized appreciation will be realized in the future. Accordingly, the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee, as calculated and accrued in accordance with U.S. GAAP, does not necessarily represent amounts that will be payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company accrued $(0.3) million and $(0.4), respectively, in incentive fees on capital gains in accordance with U.S. GAAP, none of which was payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company accrued $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in incentive fees on capital gains in accordance with U.S. GAAP, none of which was payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Administration Agreement
The Company entered into an administration agreement with Benefit Street Partners (the “Administration Agreement”), pursuant to which Benefit Street Partners (in such capacity, the “Administrator”) provides the Company with office facilities and certain administrative services necessary for the Company to conduct its business.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $0.4 million and $0.7 million was payable to BSP under the Administration Agreement, respectively.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in administrative service fees under the Administration Agreement, which are included in the other general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in administrative service fees under the Administration Agreement, which are included in the other general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations.
Co-Investment Relief
The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from entering into negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC. The SEC staff has granted the Company exemptive relief that allows it to enter into certain negotiated co-investment transactions alongside with other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates (“Affiliated Funds”) in a manner consistent with its investment objective, positions, policies, strategies, and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions (the “Order”). Pursuant to the Order, the Company is permitted to co-invest with its affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of its eligible directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and the Company's stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Company or the Company's stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and is consistent with the Company’s investment objective and strategies.

Note 5 - Borrowings
MS Credit Facility
On March 15, 2021, the Company, FBCC Lending I, LLC, a wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary of the Company (“FBCC Lending”), and the Adviser, as the servicer, entered into a loan and servicing agreement (together with the other documents executed in connection therewith, the “MS Credit Facility”) with Morgan Stanley Asset Funding, Inc. as administrative agent, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., as the lender, and U.S. Bank National Association as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian, that provides for borrowings of up to $100.0 million on a committed basis. Obligations under the MS Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of FBCC Lending, including its portfolio of investments and the Company’s equity interest in FBCC Lending. The obligations of FBCC Lending under the MS Credit Facility are nonrecourse to the Company. Any amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will mature, and will be due and payable, on the maturity date, which is March 15, 2025. Prior to the Third Amendment (defined below) borrowings under the MS Credit Facility bore interest at three-month LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of zero, plus a spread of 2.25%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. FBCC Lending is subject to a non-usage fee of 0.50% on the difference between total commitments and the greater of the (i) drawn amounts and (ii) minimum utilization requirement, and, in addition, after the ramp-up period, FBCC Lending would pay interest on undrawn amounts up to the minimum utilization requirement under the MS Credit Facility if drawn amounts are less than such minimum utilization requirement.
On July 1, 2021, FBCC Lending amended the MS Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum permissible borrowings under the MS Credit Facility from $100.0 million to $200.0 million on a committed basis (the “First Amendment”).
On December 15, 2021, FBCC Lending amended the MS Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum permissible borrowings under the MS Credit Facility from $200.0 million to $250.0 million on a committed basis (the “Second Amendment”).
On January 31, 2022, FBCC Lending amended the MS Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum permissible borrowings from $250.0 million to $300.0 million on a committed basis, transition the benchmark rate to Adjusted Term SOFR and included the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC") as a lender (the “Third Amendment”). Following the Third Amendment, borrowings under the MS Credit Facility bear interest at Adjusted Term SOFR, with an Adjusted Term SOFR floor of zero, plus a spread of 2.25%. FBCC Lending is subject to non-usage fee of 0.50% on the difference between total commitments and the greater of the (i) drawn amounts and (ii) minimum utilization requirement, and, in addition after the ramp-up period, FBCC Lending would pay interest on undrawn amounts up to the minimum utilization requirement under the MS Credit Facility, at three month SOFR floor of zero, plus spread of 1.125%, if drawn amounts are less than such minimum utilization requirement.
On June 28, 2022, FBCC Lending entered into a fourth amendment (together with any documents executed in connection therewith, the “Fourth Amendment”) to the MS Credit Facility. The Fourth Amendment, among other things, increases the maximum permissible borrowings under the MS Credit Facility to $400.0 million from $300.0 million on a committed basis and amends the spread on borrowings under the MS Credit Facility to 2.50%.

On April 22, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “MS Subscription Facility”) with Morgan Stanley Asset Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and sole lead arranger, and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., as the letter of credit issuer and lender. The MS Subscription Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $50.0 million, subject to certain restrictions, including availability under the borrowing base, which is based on unfunded capital commitments. The amount of permissible borrowings under the MS Subscription Facility may be increased up to an aggregate of $150.0 million with the consent of the lenders. The MS Subscription Facility had a maturity date of April 22, 2022, which may be extended for an additional two terms of not more than 12 months each with the consent of the administrative agent and lenders. On April 20, 2022, the Company entered into a first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the MS Subscription Facility, which extended the maturity date to April 21, 2023, which may be extended for an additional term of not more than 12 months each with the consent of the administrative agent and lenders.
Prior to the First Amendment, the MS Subscription Facility bore interest at a rate of: (i) with respect LIBOR Rate Loans, Adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period plus 2.00% per annum and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day plus 1.00% per annum, (b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, plus 1.00% per annum and (c) except during any period of time during which LIBOR is unavailable, one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus, without duplication, 100 basis points per annum.

Short-term Borrowings
From time to time, the Company finances the purchase of certain investments through repurchase agreements. In the repurchase agreements, the Company enters into a trade to sell an investment and contemporaneously enter into a trade to buy the same investment back on a specified date in the future with the same counterparty.

The Company uses repurchase agreements as a short-term financing alternative. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had short-term borrowings outstanding of $76.7 million and $41.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.7 million and $0, respectively, in connection with short-term borrowings.

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, due to affiliates, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying value on the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities due to their short-term nature.
At June 30, 2022, the carrying amount of the Company's secured borrowings approximated their fair value. The fair values of the Company's debt obligations are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Company's borrowings is estimated based upon market interest rates for the Company's own borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company's borrowings would be deemed to be Level 3, as defined in Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
The fair values of the Company’s remaining financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities are reported below:

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) pursuant to which all cash dividends or distributions (“Distributions”) declared by the Board of Directors are reinvested on behalf of investors who do not elect to receive their Distributions in cash (the “Participants”). As a result, if the Board of Directors declares a Distribution, then stockholders who have not elected to “opt out” of the DRIP will have their Distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price equal to NAV per share as estimated in good faith by the Company on the payment date. The timing and amount of Distributions to stockholders are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our Board of Directors.

Note 10 – Preferred Stock
On August 25, 2021, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock, which designates a total of 50.0 million shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Company entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Preferred Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Investors,” and each, an “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investors made new capital commitments to purchase shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has received total capital commitments of $77.5 million, which has and will continue to call from time to time. Pursuant to their respective Preferred Subscription Agreements, each Investor is required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of the Series A Preferred Stock up to the amount of their respective capital commitments on an as-needed basis, upon a minimum of 10 business days’ prior notice at a per-share price equal to the liquidation preference (the “Liquidation Preference”). The sale and issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder. The Company shall rely, in part, upon representations from the Investors in the relevant Preferred Subscription Agreements that each Investor is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
On December 27, 2021, the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company received approximately $5.0 million in total net proceeds from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock and incurred approximately $0.01 million in stock offering costs as part of the sale.
On April 7, 2022, the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company received approximately $5.0 million in total net proceeds from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock and incurred approximately $0.01 million in stock offering costs as part of the sale.
As of June 30, 2022, there were 50.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized, par value $0.001 per share, of which 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. No shares outstanding of Series A Preferred Stock are redeemable before December 31, 2026.
Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a Liquidation Preference of $1,000.00 per share plus all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon. With respect to distributions, including the payment of dividends and distribution of the Company’s assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series A Preferred Stock will be senior to shares of Common Stock, will rank on parity with any other class or series of preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its certificate of incorporation, whether such class or series is now existing or is created in the future, to the extent of the aggregate Liquidation Preference, which amount includes all accrued but unpaid dividends and will be subordinate to the rights of holders of our senior indebtedness.
Dividends are payable on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock quarterly in arrears at a rate equal to (1) for each fiscal quarter ending on or before September 30, 2022 (the “Initial Dividend Period”), the dividends that would have been paid in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock if it had been converted into a share of the Company’s Common Stock, on the first day of such quarter (or the date of issuance in the case of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued after the first day of such quarter) at the applicable Conversion Rate (as defined below) and (2) for each quarter after the Initial Dividend Period, the greater of (i) an amount equal to $10.00 per share, subject to proration if such share is not outstanding for the full quarter, and (ii) the dividends that would have been paid in respect of such share of Series A Preferred Stock if it had been converted into a share of Common Stock on the first day of such quarter (or the date of issuance in the case of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued after the first day of such quarter) at the applicable Conversion Rate.
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible (a) by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time commencing on the closing date of a Liquidity Event, as defined by the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of Franklin BSP Capital Corporation, dated September 2020, or (b) by the holders thereof at any time commencing six months following the closing date of a Liquidity Event, in each case, into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (1) the Liquidation Preference divided by (2) the price paid by investors for shares of Common Stock at the time of the purchase of such share of Series A Preferred Stock or if the purchase of such share of Series A Preferred Stock did not occur concurrent with a sale of Common Stock by the Company at the net asset value per share of Common Stock determined within 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) of the purchase of such share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Rate”). The Company has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at any time, and from time to time, on or after August 23, 2029 upon 90 days prior notice to holders of Series A Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a Liquidity Event had not commenced.

Note 11 - Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which considers participating securities as a separate class of shares. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for common stock according to dividends distributed and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s participating securities consist of its Series A Preferred Stock. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders, adjusted to exclude earnings allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase in net assets per share resulting from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Overview
We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC, and has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We are managed by the Adviser. The Adviser is an affiliate of Benefit Street Partners (“Benefit Street Partners” or “BSP”). Our Adviser is a Delaware limited liability company that is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. Our Adviser oversees the management of our activities and is responsible for making investment decisions with respect to our portfolio.
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We intend to invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with annual revenues up to $1 billion, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions. We expect that each investment generally will range between approximately 0.5% and 3.0% of our total assets. As of June 30, 2022, 90.6% of our portfolio was invested in senior secured loans.
Senior secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated debt and equity in priority of payments and are generally secured by liens on the operating assets of a borrower which may include inventory, receivables, plant, property and equipment. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior loans and is generally unsecured.
On December 18, 2020, we completed our initial closing ('Initial Closing") of capital commitments (the "Capital Commitments") to purchase shares or our common stock ("Common Stock") to investors in a private placement in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Since our Initial Closing, we held additional closings and received aggregate Capital Commitments to purchase Common Stock. As of June 30, 2022, investors had made aggregate Capital Commitments to purchase Common Stock of $578.9 million. At each closing of the private placement, each investor will make a Capital Commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Subscription Agreement entered into with us. Investors will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of Common Stock up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments on an as-needed basis each time we deliver a notice to the investors. Closings of the private placement of our Common Stock are expected to occur, from time to time, during the Initial Closing Period which our board of directors ("Board of Directors") has extended such that it currently will end December 18, 2022. After the Initial Closing Period, we may permit one or more additional closings of the private placement of our Common Stock with the approval of our Board of Directors.
On August 25, 2021, we filed the Certificate of Designation for the series A preferred stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). We entered into subscription agreements (collectively the "Preferred Subscription Agreements") with certain investors (the "Investors," and each, an "Investor"), pursuant to which Investors made new capital commitments to purchase shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2022, total capital commitments of preferred stock were $77.5 million, which has and will continue to call from time to time.

Portfolio Asset Quality
Our Adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Adviser grades the credit risk of all debt investments on a scale of 1 to 5 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio debt investment relative to the inherent risk at the time the original debt investment was made (i.e., at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company's business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors.
| Loan Rating | Summary Description | |||||||
| 1 | Debt investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since the time of investment are favorable. | |||||||
| 2 | Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable. All investments are initially rated a “2”. | |||||||
| 3 | Performing debt investment requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration. | |||||||
| 4 | Underperforming debt investment. Some loss of interest or dividend expected, but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative. | |||||||
| 5 | Underperforming debt investment with expected loss of interest and some principal. | |||||||
The weighted average risk rating of our investments based on fair value was 2.0 and 2.0 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no portfolio companies on non-accrual status, respectively. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - for additional details regarding the Company’s non-accrual policy.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Investments
Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment, the amount of capital we have available to us and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make.
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first and second lien senior secured loans, and to a lesser extent, mezzanine loans, unsecured loans and equity of predominantly private U.S. middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with annual revenues up to $1 billion, although we may invest in larger or smaller companies. We also may purchase interests in loans or corporate bonds through secondary market transactions, which refers to acquisitions from secondary market participants rather than from the portfolio company directly.
52
As a BDC, we are generally required to invest at least 70% of our total assets primarily in securities of private and certain U.S. public companies (other than certain financial institutions), cash, cash equivalents and U.S. government securities and other limited float high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.
Revenues
We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments we hold, and to a lesser extent, capital gains and distributions, if any, on equity securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or payment-in-kind (“PIK”) income.
In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of fee income such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment, termination, and other upfront fees. We do not expect to receive material fee income as it is not our principal investment strategy. Upon the re-payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and other upfront fees are recorded as income.
Expenses
We will bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including, but not limited to:
•expenses incurred by the Adviser and payable to third parties, including agents, consultants and other advisors, in monitoring the financial and legal affairs of the Company, news and quotation subscriptions, and market or industry research expenses;
•the cost of calculating the Company’s NAV; the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our Common Stock and other securities;
•management and incentive fees payable pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement; fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants and other advisors, relating to, or associated with, making investments, and, if necessary, enforcing its rights, and valuing investments (including third-party valuation firms);
•expenses related to consummated or unconsummated investments, including dead deal or broken deal expenses; rating agency expenses; fees to arrange debt financings for the Company;
•distributions on the Company’s shares; administration fees payable under the Administration Agreement;
•the allocated costs incurred by the Administrator in providing managerial assistance to those portfolio companies that request it; transfer agent and custodial fees; fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts (including attendance at investment conferences and similar events); accounting, audit and tax preparation expenses;
•federal and state registration fees; any exchange listing fees; federal, state, local, and other taxes;
•costs and expenses incurred in relation to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the operation and administration of the Company generally;
•independent directors’ fees and expenses;
•brokerage commissions; costs of proxy statements, stockholders’ reports and notices; costs of preparing government filings, including periodic and current reports with the SEC; the Company’s fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums; indemnification payments;
•expenses relating to the development and maintenance of the Company’s website, if any; other operations and technology costs;
•direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, copying, telephone, fees of independent accountants and outside legal costs; and
53
•all other expenses incurred by the Company or the Administrator in connection with administering the Company’s business, including, but not limited to, payments under the Administration Agreement based upon the Company’s allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, travel and the allocable portion of the cost of the Company’s chief compliance officer and chief financial officer and their respective staffs, including operations and tax professionals and administrative staff who provide support services in respect of the Company.

55
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of the purchase of shares of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock via drawdowns on our investors’ Capital Commitments, cash flows from interest and fees earned from our investments and principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. As of June 30, 2022, we had issued 17.1 million shares of our Common Stock for net proceeds of $260.1 million, including shares issued pursuant to the DRIP. We had also issued 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $10.0 million. As of June 30, 2021, we had issued 6.0 million shares of our Common Stock for net proceeds of $90.0 million, including shares issued pursuant to the DRIP. We had no Series A Preferred Stock issued as of June 30, 2021.
As of June 30, 2022, we had $13.7 million of cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was 148.2 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, redemptions, and sales of portfolio investments. The cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily a result of purchases of investments of $157.3 million, offset by sales and repayments of investments of $12.8 million. As of June 30, 2021, we had $15.4 million of cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $177.7 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, redemptions, and sales of portfolio investments. The cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily a result of purchases of investments of $173.0 million, and receivables for unsettled trades of $20.8 million, partially offset by payables for unsettled trades of $15.2 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $149.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to proceeds from debt of $84.0 million, proceeds on short-term borrowings of $35.4 million, proceeds from the issuance of shares of common stock of $33.4 million, and proceeds from the issuance of shares of preferred stock of $5.0 million, partially offset by payments on financing costs of $1.1 million and common stockholder distributions of $7.3 million. Net cash provided by financing activities of $193.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily related to proceeds from debt of $105.0 million, and proceeds from issuance of shares of common stock of $89.7 million, partially offset by payments on financing costs of $1.6 million.
We also fund a portion of our investments through borrowings from banks. Our primary use of cash will be investments in portfolio companies, payments of our expenses and payment of cash distributions to our stockholders. As of June 30, 2022, we are party to the MS Credit Facility and MS Subscription Facility, each of which is defined in and described in more detail in Note 5 - Borrowings.
As of June 30, 2022, we had $126.0 million of availability under the MS Credit Facility (subject to borrowing base availability), $0.1 million of availability under the MS Subscription Facility and had approximately $390.4 million of uncalled Capital Commitments to purchase shares of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2021, we had $35.0 million of availability under the MS Credit Facility (subject to borrowing base availability), $10.0 million of availability under the MS Subscription Facility and had approximately $482.1 million of uncalled capital commitments to purchase shares of our common stock. We expect to have sufficient liquidity for our investing activities and to conduct our operations in the near term.
Taxation as a RIC
We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that we distribute as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to our stockholders. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, in order to maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each tax year, an amount equal to at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gain over realized net long-term capital loss and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, or the annual distribution requirement. Even if we qualify as a RIC, we generally will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed taxable income and could be subject to state, local, and foreign taxes.
56
Additionally, in order to avoid the imposition of a U.S. federal excise tax, we are required to distribute, in respect of each calendar year, dividends to our stockholders of an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of our calendar year net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections); 98.2% of our capital gain net income (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the one year period ending on December 31 of such calendar year; and any net ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding calendar years that were not distributed during such calendar years and on which we previously did not incur any U.S. federal income tax. If we fail to qualify as a RIC for any reason and become subject to corporate tax, the resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions. Such a failure would have a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders. In addition, we could be required to recognize unrealized gains, incur substantial taxes and interest and make substantial distributions in order to re-qualify as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions.
Distributions
On February 4, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.30 per share of Common Stock, payable on February 22, 2022 to stockholders of record as of January 31, 2022.
On May 11, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.39 per share of Common Stock, payable on May 24, 2022 to stockholders of record as of May 11, 2022.
The amount of each such distribution is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and applicable legal restrictions related to the payment of distributions. The Company calculates each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the quarter using record and declaration dates. The distributions are payable by the fifth day following each record date.

We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to us, including advances from the Adviser that are subject to reimbursement, as well as offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. We may have distributions which could be characterized as a return of capital for tax purposes. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no portion of our distributions was characterized as return of capital for tax purposes. The specific tax characteristics of our distributions made in respect of our anticipated fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 will be reported to stockholders shortly after the end of the calendar year 2022 as well as in our periodic reports with the SEC. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our ordinary income or gain. Moreover, you should understand that any such distributions were not based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods and/or our Adviser continues to make such reimbursements. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the performance necessary to sustain our distributions or that we will be able to pay distributions at all.
Related Party Transactions and Agreements
Investment Advisory Agreement
We entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2020, which was approved by our Board of Directors and our sole stockholder for a two year term, under which the Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Directors manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to us. Affiliates of the Adviser also provide investment advisory services to other funds that have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours, including Franklin BSP Lending Corporation (formerly, Business Development Corporation of America), a BDC advised by an affiliate of the Adviser. Affiliates of the Adviser also serve as investment adviser or sub-adviser to private funds and registered open-end funds, and as an investment adviser to a public real estate investment trust. The Adviser has adopted policies designed to manage and mitigate the conflicts of interest associated with the allocation of investment opportunities. In addition, any affiliated fund currently formed or formed in the future and managed by the Adviser or its affiliates may have overlapping investment objectives with our own and, accordingly, may invest in asset classes similar to those targeted by us. However, in certain instances due to regulatory, tax, investment, or other restrictions, certain investment opportunities may not be appropriate for either us or other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.
Administration Agreement
On September 23, 2020, we entered into the Administration Agreement with BSP, pursuant to which BSP provides us with office facilities and administrative services. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon not less than 60 days’ written notice to the other. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in administrative service fees under the administrative agreement, which are included in other general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in administrative service fees under the administrative agreement, which are included in other general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Co-Investment Relief
The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from entering into negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC. The SEC has granted exemptive relief to affiliates of the Adviser that allows us to enter into certain negotiated co-investment transactions alongside other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates (“Affiliated Funds”) in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions (the “Order”). Pursuant to the Order, we are permitted to co-invest with our affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our eligible directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect 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 and strategies.
Due to Related Party
Included within other liabilities on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are $0 and $1.7 million of payables to Affiliated Funds or the Adviser, respectively.
Borrowings
We are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, which, as defined in the 1940 Act, measures the ratio of total assets less total liabilities not represented by senior securities to total borrowings, equals at least 150% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. We are continually exploring forms of debt financing which could include new or expanded credit facilities or the issuance of debt securities. We may use borrowed funds, known as “leverage,” to make investments and to attempt to increase returns to our stockholders by reducing our overall cost of capital. We currently have credit facilities with Morgan Stanley.
MS Credit Facility
On March 15, 2021, the Company, FBCC Lending I, a wholly-owned, special purpose financial subsidiary of the Company ("FBCC Lending"), and the Adviser, as the servicer, entered into a loan and servicing agreement (together with the other documents executed in connection therewith, the “MS Credit Facility”) with Morgan Stanley Asset Funding, Inc. as administrative agent, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., as the lender, and U.S. Bank National Association as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian, that provides for borrowings of up to $100.0 million on a committed basis. Obligations under the MS Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of FBCC Lending, including its portfolio of investments and the Company’s equity interest in FBCC Lending. The obligations of FBCC Lending under the MS Credit Facility are nonrecourse to us. Any amounts borrowed under the MS Credit Facility will mature, and will be due and payable, on the maturity date, which is March 15, 2025. Prior to the Third Amendment (defined below) borrowings under the MS Credit Facility bore interest at three-month LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of zero, plus a spread of 2.25%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. FBCC Lending is subject to a non-usage fee of 0.50% on the difference between total commitments and the greater of the (i) drawn amounts and (ii) minimum utilization requirement, and, in addition, after the ramp-up period, FBCC Lending would pay interest on undrawn amounts up to the minimum utilization requirement under the MS Credit Facility if drawn amounts are less than such minimum utilization requirement. The Company paid an upfront fee and incurred other customary costs and expenses in connection with the MS Credit Facility.
On July 1, 2021, FBCC Lending, amended the MS Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum permissible borrowings under the MS Credit Facility from $100.0 million to $200.0 million on a committed basis (the “First Amendment”).
On December 15, 2021, FBCC Lending, amended the MS Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum permissible borrowings under the MS Credit Facility from $200.0 million to $250.0 million on a committed basis (the “Second Amendment”).
59
On January 31, 2022, FBCC Lending amended the MS Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum permissible borrowings from $250.0 million to $300.0 million on a committed basis, transition the benchmark rate to Adjusted Term SOFR and included the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC") as a lender (the “Third Amendment”). Following the Third Amendment, borrowings under the MS Credit Facility bear interest at Adjusted Term SOFR, with an Adjusted Term SOFR floor of zero, plus a spread of 2.25%. FBCC Lending is subject to non-usage fee of 0.50% on the difference between total commitments and the greater of the (i) drawn amounts and (ii) minimum utilization requirement, and, in addition after the ramp-up period, FBCC Lending would pay interest on undrawn amounts up to the minimum utilization requirement under the MS Credit Facility, at three month SOFR floor of zero, plus spread of 1.125%, if drawn amounts are less than such minimum utilization requirement.
On June 28, 2022, FBCC Lending entered into a fourth amendment (together with any documents executed in connection therewith, the “Fourth Amendment”) to the MS Credit Facility. The Fourth Amendment, among other things, increases the maximum permissible borrowings under the MS Credit Facility to $400.0 million from $300.0 million on a committed basis and amends the spread on borrowings under the MS Credit Facility to 2.50%.
MS Subscription Facility
On April 22, 2021, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “MS Subscription Facility”) with Morgan Stanley Asset Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and sole lead arranger, and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., as the letter of credit issuer and lender. The MS Subscription Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $50.0 million, subject to certain restrictions, including availability under the borrowing base, which is based on unused capital commitments. The amount of permissible borrowings under the MS Subscription Facility may be increased up to an aggregate of $150.0 million with the consent of the lenders. The MS Subscription Facility has a maturity date of April 22, 2022, which may be extended for an additional two terms of not more than 12 months each with the consent of the administrative agent and lenders. On April 20, 2022, we entered into a first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the MS Subscription Facility, which extended the maturity date to April 21, 2023, which may be extended for an additional term of not more than 12 months each with the consent of the administrative agent and lenders.
Prior to the First Amendment, the MS Subscription Facility bore interest at a rate of: (i) with respect LIBOR Rate Loans, Adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the MS Subscription Facility) for the applicable interest period plus 2.00% per annum and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day plus 1.00% per annum, (b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, plus 1.00% per annum and (c) except during any period of time during which LIBOR is unavailable, one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus, without duplication, 100 basis points per annum. The Company paid an upfront fee and incurred other customary costs and expenses in connection with the MS Subscription Facility. Subsequent to the First Amendment, the MS Subscription Facility bears interest at a rate of: (i) with respect to Term SOFR Loans, Term SOFR with a one-month Interest Period plus 2.10% per annum and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day plus 100 basis points (1.00%) per annum, (b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50% plus 1.00% per annum and (c) except during any period of time during which Term SOFR is unavailable, Term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus without duplication, 100 basis points (1.00%) per annum plus 100 basis points (1.00%) per annum. The Company paid an upfront fee and incurred other customary costs and expenses in connection with the First Amendment to MS Subscription Facility. In addition, the Company will be subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.30%.
Short-Term Borrowings
From time to time, we finance the purchase of certain investments through repurchase agreements. In the repurchase agreements, we enter into a trade to sell an investment and contemporaneously enter into a trade to buy the same investment back on a specified date in the future with the same counterparty. Investments sold under repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized borrowings as the sale of the investment does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860—Transfers and Servicing and remains as an investment on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. We use repurchase agreements as a short-term financing alternative. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had short-term borrowings outstanding of $76.7 million and $41.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded interest expense of $0.7 million and $0 million, respectively, in connection with short-term borrowings. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had an average outstanding balance of short-term borrowings of $38.2 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 0.01%. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had no short-term borrowings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
Commitments
In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into future funding commitments. As of June 30, 2022, we had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $64.1 million and unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $38.9 million. As of December 31, 2021, we had unfunded commitments on delayed draw term loans of $63.0 million and unfunded commitments on revolver term loans of $27.8 million. We maintain sufficient cash on hand, unfunded commitments to purchase our Common Stock, and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments. Please refer to Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for further detail of these unfunded commitments.
Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we will evaluate our estimates, including those related to the matters described below. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
While our significant accounting policies are also described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report, we believe the following accounting policies require the most significant judgment in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
Portfolio investments are reported on the statements of assets and liabilities at fair value. On a quarterly basis we perform an analysis of each investment to determine fair value as follows:
Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the reported closing price on the valuation date. We may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of our investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value assets. When doing so, we determine whether the quote obtained is readily available according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined readily available, we use the quote obtained.
61
Investments without a readily determined market value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process.
As part of our quarterly valuation process the Adviser may be assisted by one or more independent valuation firms engaged by us. The Board of Directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and the independent valuation firm(s) (to the extent applicable).
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
•Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by the Adviser, potentially with assistance from one or more independent valuation firms engaged by our Board of Directors;
•The independent valuation firm(s) conduct independent appraisals and make an independent assessment of the value of each investment; and
•The Board of Directors determines the fair value of each investment, in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser and independent valuation firm(s) (to the extent applicable). On August 10, 2022, pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board of Directors has designated the Adviser as the Company’s valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to perform fair value determinations relating to the value of assets held by the Company. The Adviser also has established a Valuation Committee to assist the Adviser in carrying out its designated responsibilities that the Board of Directors has designated to the Adviser as Valuation Designee, subject to oversight of the Board of Directors.
Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, we value substantially all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors, as described herein. 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. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.
Revenue Recognition
Interest Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on investments purchased are accreted/amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments.
Dividend Income
Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.
62
Fee Income
Fee income, such as structuring fees, origination, closing, amendment fees, commitment, termination, and other upfront fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized as income when earned, either upon receipt or amortized into income. Upon the re-payment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and other upfront fees are recorded as income.
Payment-in-Kind Interest
The Company may hold debt investments in its portfolio that contain PIK interest and dividend provisions. PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest that add to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, is recorded on accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected.
Non-accrual Income
Investments may be placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest, which may include un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current.
Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method. We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.
See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a description of other accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Organization and Offering Expenses
Organization costs consist of costs incurred to establish the Company and enable it legally to do business. Organization costs are expensed as incurred. Offering costs consist of costs incurred in connection with the offering of common shares of the Company. Offering costs are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the commencement of operations.
We will bear the organization and offering expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the offering of shares of our Common Stock, including the out-of-pocket expenses of the Adviser and its agents and affiliates. In addition, we will reimburse the Adviser for the organizational and offering costs it incurs on our behalf. If actual organization and offering costs incurred exceed the greater of $1 million or 0.10% of the Company’s total capital commitments, the Adviser or its affiliate will bear the excess costs. To the extent the Company’s capital commitments later increase, the Adviser or its affiliates may be reimbursed for past payments of excess organization and offering costs made on the Company’s behalf provided that the total organization and offering costs borne by the Company do not exceed 0.10% of total capital commitments and provided further that the Adviser or its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization and offering expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to the proposed reimbursement. In general, we may not deduct organizational expenses, and instead amortize organizational expenses over at least a 180-month period for tax purposes.
In connection with the our private placement of shares of it’s preferred stock designated as Series A Preferred Stock, the we incurred various offering costs. These costs are capitalized as a deferred cost and included within redeemable convertible preferred stock Series A on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as the preferred shares are issued. The costs are not subject to reimbursement from the Adviser.
63
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. We expect our market risk will arise primarily from interest rate risk relating to interest rate fluctuations. Many factors including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we may borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes in earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. 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. During the periods covered by this report, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities. We would not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
As of June 30, 2022, our debt included variable-rate debt, bearing a weighted average interest rate of SOFR plus 2.21% with a total carrying value (net of deferred financing costs) of $320.9 million. The following table quantifies the potential changes in interest income net of interest expense should base interest rates increase or decrease by the amounts below assuming that our current consolidated statement of assets and liabilities was to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate floors, if applicable, are not reflected in the sensitivity analysis below.
| Change in Base Interest Rates | Estimated Change in Interest Income net of Interest Expense (in thousands) | |||||||
| (-) 229 Basis Points | $ | (6,862) | ||||||
| (-) 200 Basis Points | $ | (6,006) | ||||||
| (-) 100 Basis Points | $ | (3,003) | ||||||
| (-) 50 Basis Points | $ | (1,502) | ||||||
| (+) 50 Basis Points | $ | 1,502 | ||||||
| (+) 100 Basis Points | $ | 3,003 | ||||||
| (+) 200 Basis Points | $ | 6,006 | ||||||
Because we may borrow money to make investments, our net investment income may be dependent on the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of increasing interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were (a) designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and reported in an accurate manner and on a timely basis and the information that we are required to disclose in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to management to permit timely decisions with respect to required disclosure and (b) operating in an effective manner.
64
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
65
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As of June 30, 2022, we were not defendants in any material pending legal proceeding, and no such material proceedings are known to be contemplated. However, from time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under the contracts with our portfolio companies. Third parties may also seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed below and in Part I., “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. The risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. 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.
Because we expect to borrow money, the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested in us will be magnified and may increase the risk of investing in us.
The use of borrowings, also known as leverage, increases the volatility of investments by magnifying the potential for gain or loss on invested equity capital. Because we use leverage to partially finance our investments, through borrowing from banks and other lenders, you will experience increased risks of investing in our Common Stock. If the value of our assets increases, leveraging would cause the NAV to increase more sharply than it would have had we not leveraged. Conversely, if the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause our NAV to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Similarly, any increase in our income in excess of interest payable on the borrowed funds would cause our net income to increase more than it would without the leverage, while any decrease in our income would cause net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect our ability to make Common Stock distribution payments. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique.
The following table illustrates the effects of leverage on returns from an investment in shares of Common Stock, assuming various hypothetical annual returns, net of expenses. The calculations are hypothetical and actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing below. The calculation assumes (i) $798.5 million in total assets, (ii) a weighted average cost of funds of 2.76%, (iii) $450.0 million in debt outstanding (i.e., assumes that the full amount is available to us under our MS Credit Facility and MS Subscription Facility as of June 30, 2022), and (iv) $260.2 million in stockholders’ equity and (v) no incentive fees payable by the Company to the Adviser. In order to compute the “Corresponding return to stockholders,” the “Assumed Return on Our Portfolio (net of expenses)” is multiplied by the assumed total assets to obtain an assumed return to us. From this amount, the interest expense is calculated by multiplying the assumed weighted average cost of funds by the assumed debt outstanding, and the product is subtracted from the assumed return to us in order to determine the return available to stockholders. The return available to stockholders is then divided by our stockholders’ equity to determine the “Corresponding return to stockholders.” Actual interest payments may be different.
| Assumed Return on the Company’s Portfolio (net of expenses) | (10)% | (5)% | —% | 5% | 10% | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Corresponding return to stockholders (1) | (35.46)% | (20.12)% | (4.77)% | 10.57% | 25.91% | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1) In order for us to cover our hypothetical annual interest payments on indebtedness, we would need to achieve annual returns
on our June 30, 2022 total assets of at least 1.56%.
As of June 30, 2022, the Morgan Stanley Credit Facility provided for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400.0 million on a committed basis, due March 15, 2025 and the Morgan Stanley Subscription Facility provided for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million on a committee basis, due April 21, 2023.
