 Highlights for the Quarter:  During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the following significant events occurred:

  • Portfolio Activity: Extended $2.2 million of follow-on investments to existing portfolio companies.
     
  • Preferred Stock Offering: Completed a public offering of 2.3 million shares of 6.25% Series D Cumulative Term Preferred Stock, due 2023 (“Series D Term Preferred Stock”), in September 2016.  Gross proceeds totaled approximately $57.5 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs borne by us, were $55.4 million.
     
  • Preferred Stock Redemption: Redeemed all 1.6 million outstanding shares of our 7.125% Series A Cumulative Term Preferred Stock with a total liquidation value of $40.0 million in September 2016, using a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of our Series D Term Preferred Stock.
     
  • Distributions and Dividends:  Paid monthly cash distributions to common and preferred stockholders for each of July, August, and September 2016.  The Company paid $0.0625 per common share, per month; $0.1484375 per share, per month, for the Company’s 7.125% Series A Cumulative Term Preferred Stock (“Series A Term Preferred Stock”); $0.140625 per share, per month, for the Company’s 6.75% Series B Cumulative Term Preferred Stock (“Series B Term Preferred Stock”); and $0.135417 per share, per month, for the Company’s 6.50% Series C Cumulative Term Preferred Stock (“Series C Term Preferred Stock”).

Second Quarter Results:  Net investment income for the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, was $5.1 million, or $0.17 per share, and $6.8 million, or $0.23 per share, respectively, a decrease of 25.0%.  The decrease in net investment income period over period was primarily due to lower other income, which was partially offset by a decrease in total expenses net of credits, including lower incentive fees. 

Net asset value per common share as of September 30, 2016 decreased to $9.65 compared to $9.84 as of June 30, 2016.  The quarter over quarter decrease was primarily due to $5.0 million of net unrealized depreciation, which was due to a decline in performance of certain of our portfolio companies.  

Subsequent Events:  After September 30, 2016, the following significant events occurred:

  • Portfolio Activity: In October 2016, we restructured our investment in D.P.M.S., Inc. As a result of the restructure, we exchanged existing debt with a cost basis of $16.5 million and a fair value of $6.4 million as of September 30, 2016 for a new $8.8 million secured first lien term loan, relinquished our preferred equity with a cost basis of $2.5 million and fair value of $0, and relinquished a portion of our common equity with a total cost basis of $3 and a fair value of $0, each as of September 30, 2016. The new term loan has a current interest rate of 10.0% and matures in October 2021. The transaction resulted in a realized loss of $10.2 million.
     
  • Distributions and Dividends Declared:  On October 11, 2016, our Board of Directors declared the following monthly cash distributions and dividends:
