THL Credit Senior Loan Fund

Manager Commentary (unaudited)June 30, 2019

Dear Shareholders,

Thank you for your continued commitment to the THL Credit Senior Loan Fund (the “Fund”).

First Half 2019 Market Overview

The U.S. Leveraged Loan market, as measured by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (the “Index”),1 demonstrated positive performance during the first half of 2019, posting returns of 5.42%2 for the period compared to the negative return from the prior six month period ended December 31, 2018 of -1.21%.2 The average price of the Index improved significantly from $94.093 at the end of 2018 to $96.783 at the end of June 2019.

Demand for loans during the first half of 2019 remained tepid. Retail bank loan mutual funds continued to see the outflows that started in October 2018 and peaked in December 2018 as retail investors made moves out of floating rate into fixed rate product. For the first six months of 2019, outflows totaled $21.0 billion.4 However, CLO issuance, a significant provider of funding for the loan market, was $65.0 billion4 during the first six months of 2019, which is up approximately 9%5 from the last six months of 2018.

Following two years of record-setting issuance, new-issue loan volume was muted in the first six months of 2019, totaling $158 billion.5 During this period, mergers and acquisition financings accounted for 53%5 of the volume and refinancings/repricings accounted for 35%5 of the volume. The remainder of the volume related to dividend recaps and general corporate use. Net issuance (excluding refinancings and repricings) totaled $103 billion5 in the first half of 2019.

Refinancings and repricings totaled $55 billion5 for in the first half of 2019, which is significantly less compared to 2018. For reference, refinancings and repricings totaled $402 billion5 in 2018. The decrease in refinancing and repricing activity has had a positive impact on maintaining higher new-issue spreads. Average new-issue spreads for single-B borrowers as of June 30, 2019 were 397 bps.4 Although down from a short-term spike in December, this level remains higher than the average spreads for 2018 of 359 bps.4

The bank loan default rate ended the first half of the year at 1.34%,6 down from 1.63%6 at the end of 2018. This rate includes 134 new defaults occurring during the first half of the year. Retail and oil and gas issues approximated 41% of the defaults during the quarter.4

Outlook

Despite the lack of price movement over the second quarter of 2019 and the continued uncertainty around U.S.-China trade negotiations, we continue to have a positive outlook on the bank loan market supported by a strong labor market, rising employee wages, and consistent corporate profits. In general, we continue to see strong performance from most of our borrowers and expect performance to carry forward. We continue to see some marginal deterioration in certain sectors more exposed to currency volatility, trade issues, and wage and commodity inflation. Finally, we believe that the current low default environment relative to historical levels, solid market fundamentals, and attractive income profile from current spreads and yields make senior loans an attractive investment opportunity.

THL Credit Senior Loan Fund Performance

As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had total investments in securities recorded at fair value of $181.4 million. The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) on June 30, 2019 was $17.31 per share, up slightly from $17.29 per share on December 31, 2018. The Fund’s weighted average price on its loan and bond investments improved from 93.3 at December 31, 2018 to 95.3 at June 30, 2019, an increase of 2.1% lagging slightly behind the overall market improvement of 2.9%.

Since inception through June 30, 2019, on an annualized basis, the Fund had returns of 5.28% on a NAV basis, outperforming the Index over the same period which had a return of 4.10%.2 For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Fund had returns of 3.63% on a NAV basis, while the Index returned 5.42%2 over the same period.

Manager Commentary (unaudited) (continued)June 30, 2019

The Fund’s borrowings as of June 30, 2019 were $48.0 million, down $2.0 million from December 31, 2018. As a percentage of Managed Assets (defined as total assets of the Fund, including any assets attributable to borrowings for investment purposes, minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities, other than liabilities representing borrowings for investment purposes), leverage decreased slightly to 27.2% at June 30, 2019 from 28.1% at December 31, 2018. Over the six-month period, leverage as a percentage of Managed Assets averaged 26.6%.

The Fund earned $6.8 million in interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, a 4.3% decrease from the prior six-month period ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in revenue is primarily driven by a decrease in investments as a result of utilizing lower levels of leverage during the period.

The Fund’s weighted average coupon (reference rate plus spread) of the portfolio on June 30, 2019 was 6.76%, down from 6.95% as of December 31, 2018. The Fund’s weighted average spread on floating rate securities was 4.27% on June 30, 2019, down slightly from 4.41% on December 31, 2018.

During the first six months of 2019, the Fund had one holding, Preferred Proppants, which completed an out-of-court restructuring.

Total Fund net expenses were $1.9 million for the first six months of 2019, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million from the prior six-month period ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s borrowing costs decreased by $66,000. This decrease was driven by a decrease in average borrowings from $57.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018 to $47.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, offset by an increased average cost of borrowing from 3.17% for the six months ended December 31, 2018 to 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, due to changes in the underlying reference rate. Additionally, management fees decreased by $76,000 due to a decrease in average Managed assets over the period, and professional fees decreased by a further $28,000.

Net of Fund expenses, the Fund generated $4.9 million of net investment income during the six months ended June 30, 2019, down 3.1% from the last six months of 2018. During the first six months of 2019, the Fund paid distributions of $4.5 million, maintaining its monthly distribution of $0.101/share through the entire period.

†

Securities are U.S. securities, unless otherwise noted below.

(a)

Senior loans pay interest at rates that are periodically determined on the basis of a floating benchmark lending rate, often subject to a floor, plus a spread, unless otherwise indicated. The most popular benchmark lending rates are the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the rate that contributor banks in London charge each other for interbank deposits, and the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks (“Prime”). Both LIBOR and Prime were utilized as benchmark lending rates for the senior loans at June 30, 2019. The rates shown represent the contractual rates (benchmark rate or floor plus spread) in effect at period end. Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy.

(b)

Fair Value Level 3 security. All remaining securities are categorized as Level 2.

(c)

All or a portion of this position has not settled as of June 30, 2019. The Fund will not accrue interest on its senior loans until the settlement date at which point LIBOR will be established.

(d)

Security has been deemed illiquid and has been fair valued in good faith in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees.

(e)

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, Charming Charlie filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the related loans were put on non-accrual.

(f)

Security was purchased pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be resold subject to that rule except to qualified institutional buyers. Total fair value of Rule 144A securities amounts to $2,845,969 which represents approximately 2.2% of net assets as of June 30, 2019. Unless otherwise noted, 144A securities are deemed to be liquid.

(g)

Less than 0.05%.

(h)

Rate shown reflects the 7-day yield as of June 30, 2019.

Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments and delayed draw loan commitments per share in this caption are balancing amounts necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per share for the period, and may not reconcile with the aggregate gains and losses in the Statement of Operations due to the share transactions for the period.

(3)

Total return based on net asset value reflects changes in the Fund’s net asset value during each period. Total return based on market value reflects changes in market value. Each figure assumes that dividend and capital gain distributions, if any, were reinvested. For NAV total returns, distributions are assumed to be reinvested at NAV on the distribution date. For market value total returns, distributions are assumed to be reinvested at the prices obtained under the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. These figures will differ depending upon the level of any discount from or premium to net asset value at which the Fund’s shares traded during the period.

(4)

Annualized.

(5)

Asset coverage equals the total net assets plus borrowings divided by the borrowings of the Fund outstanding at period end (Note 4). As debt outstanding changes, level of invested assets may change accordingly. Asset coverage ratio provides a measure of leverage.

THL Credit Senior Loan Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)June 30, 2019

1. ORGANIZATION

THL Credit Senior Loan Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund is an unincorporated business trust established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated July 30, 2013. The Fund was previously classified as a non-diversified investment company. The Fund commenced operations on September 20, 2013. Prior to that, the Fund had no operations other than matters relating to its organization and the sale and issuance of 2,618 common shares of beneficial interest in the Fund to Four Wood Capital Advisors LLC (the Fund’s former investment adviser) at a price of $19.10 per share, and the sale and issuance of 2,618 common shares of beneficial interest in the Fund to THL Credit Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”) at a price of $19.10 per share.

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide current income and preservation of capital primarily through investments in U.S. dollar-denominated senior secured corporate loans and notes (“Senior Loans”).

The Adviser serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”. The Fund’s financial statements have been prepared to comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These principles require the Fund’s Adviser to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund follows the significant accounting policies described in this section, as well as the valuation policies described in the next section on valuation.

The following summarizes the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Securities Valuation: The Fund holds portfolio securities that are fair valued at the close of each day on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to a valuation committee (the “Committee”), subject to the Board’s supervision and direction, through the adoption of procedures for valuation of the Fund’s securities (the “Valuation Procedures”). The Committee consists of certain designated individuals of FWCA (through June 21, 2018) and THL Credit. Under the current Valuation Procedures, the Committee is responsible for, among other things, determining and monitoring the value of the Fund’s assets. The Valuation Procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers and other valuation methods in events when market quotations are not readily available or not representative of the fair value of the securities.

The Fund’s securities are valued by various methods, as described below:

Senior Loans are valued at prices supplied by the Fund’s pricing agent based on broker-dealer supplied valuations (including mid or average prices) and other criteria or directly by independent brokers when the pricing agent does not provide a price or the Valuation Committee does not believe that the pricing agent price reflects the current market value. If a price of a position is sourced using independent brokers, the Fund shall seek to obtain an evaluation bid price from at least two independent brokers who are knowledgeable about the position. The price of the position would be deemed to be an average of such bid prices.

Fixed income securities (including short-term obligations) are valued at prices supplied by the Fund’s pricing agent based on broker-dealer supplied valuations, or in the absence of broker-dealer supplied valuations, matrix pricing, a method of valuing securities by reference to the value of other securities with similar characteristics, such as rating, interest rate and maturity.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THL Credit Senior Loan Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)June 30, 2019

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Exchange traded equity securities and warrants are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of the exchange or, in the absence of a sale, the closing bid price, with the exception that for securities traded on the London Stock Exchange and National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”), those securities are valued at the official closing price.

Non-exchange traded equity securities are valued at prices supplied by the Fund’s pricing agent based on the average of the bid/ask prices quoted by brokers that are knowledgeable about the securities.

Money market funds are valued at their net asset value.

If a price is not available from an independent pricing service or broker, or if the price provided is believed to be unreliable, the security will be fair valued pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. Fair value methods may include, but are not limited to, the use of market comparable and/or income approach methodologies. Using a fair value pricing methodology to value securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent sale price and from the prices used by other investment companies to calculate their NAV. Determination of fair value is uncertain because it involves subjective judgments and estimates. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s valuation of a security will not differ from the amount that it realizes upon the sale of such security.

Fair Value Measurement

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, quoted prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability based on the best information available.

Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which a Fund’s net asset value is computed and that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investment). Examples of events that may be “significant events” are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflicts and acts of terrorism.

The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of investing in those securities.

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value for the period ended June 30, 2019 were intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded)

Cash

The Fund’s cash is maintained with a major United States financial institution, which is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Fund’s cash balance may exceed Insurance limits at times.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premiums, is recorded on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments, if any, are determined on an identified cost basis. Paydown gains and losses are netted and recorded as interest income on the Statement of Operations.

The difference between cost and fair value on open investments is reflected as unrealized gain (loss) on investments, and any change in that amount from prior period is reflected as change in unrealized gain (loss) on investment in the accompanying statement of operations.

Interest Expense and Fees on Borrowings

Interest expense and fees on borrowings relates to the Fund’s borrowings and includes interest paid plus any commitment fees on unused balances. They are recorded on an accrual basis.

Federal Income Tax Information

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. In early 2019, the Fund will pay an excise tax liability of approximately $29,302 relating to the tax year 2018.

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund as a whole.

Fund management has determined that the Fund has not taken any uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements. The Fund will file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2019, the tax years ended December 31, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 remains subject to examination by the Fund’s major tax jurisdictions.

Distributions

The Fund intends to make regular monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of its investment company taxable income (which includes ordinary income and short-term capital gains) to common shareholders. The Fund also intends to pay any “net capital gains” (which is the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as distributions to shareholders from return of capital.

Indemnifications

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THL Credit Senior Loan Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)June 30, 2019

3. SENIOR LOANS

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80.0% of its Managed Assets, defined as the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to borrowings for investment purposes), minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings for investment purposes), in fully collateralized, first lien corporate loans and notes. At June 30, 2019, 90.1% of the Fund’s Managed Assets were held in first lien Senior Loans.

Senior Loans are generally non-investment grade floating rate instruments that are secured by assets of the borrower. They generally hold a senior position in the capital structure of a borrower. Thus, they are generally repaid before unsecured Bank Loans, corporate bonds, subordinated debt, trade creditors, and preferred or common stockholders.

Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown. Senior loans typically pay interest at rates that are periodically determined on the basis of a floating benchmark lending rate plus a spread.

Risks associated with first lien Senior Loans include (i) the borrower’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations; (ii) the fact that prepayments may occur at any time without premium or penalty and that the exercise of prepayment rights during periods of declining spreads could cause the Fund to reinvest prepayment proceeds in lower-yielding investments; and (iii) price volatility due to such factors as interest rate sensitivity, market perception of the credit worthiness of the borrower and general market liquidity.

Second lien loans are generally second in line in terms of repayment priority. Second lien loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in first lien Senior Loans. In addition, because second lien loans are subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority to first lien Senior Loans, they are subject to additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured obligations of the borrower. At June 30, 2019, the Fund had invested $9,587,212 in second lien loans.

The Fund may purchase assignments of, and participations in, Senior Loans originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign commercial bank, insurance company, finance company or other financial institution (the “Agent”) for a lending syndicate of financial institutions (the “Lender”). When purchasing an assignment, the Fund succeeds to all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning Lender. Assignments may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender.

4. BORROWINGS

On October 4, 2017, the Fund entered into a $65.0 million credit agreement with Societe Generale, New York Branch, expiring on October 2, 2020 (the “Credit Facility”) to pay off and replace the Fund’s previous facility with The Bank of New York Mellon. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by the Fund’s assets as collateral. In accordance with the 1940 Act, the Fund’s borrowings under the Credit Facility will not exceed 331∕3% of the Fund’s Managed Assets at the time of borrowing.

The Credit Facility bears an unused commitment fee on the unused portion of the Unused Facility Amount equal to 0.55% on any day that the outstanding principal balance is less than 85% of the Credit Facility. The per annum rate of interest for borrowings under the Credit Facility is equal to LIBOR for one month plus 0.95% per annum and is payable monthly.

THL Credit Senior Loan Fund Semi-Annual Report | June 30, 2019 25

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THL Credit Senior Loan Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)June 30, 2019

4. BORROWINGS (concluded)

The Credit Facility was amended on June 21, 2018 to reflect the change in the Fund’s advisor. No other terms of the facility were amended.

At June 30, 2019, the Fund had borrowings outstanding of $48,000,000 at an interest rate of 3.58%. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the average borrowings under the Credit Facility and the average interest rate were $47,292,818 and 3.67%, respectively. For the six months end June 30, 2019, the Fund incurred $48,965 for unused commitment fees, which is included in Interest Expense and Fees on Borrowings on the Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2019, the Fund’s effective leverage represented 27.2% of the Fund’s Managed Assets. Due to the short term nature of the Credit Facility, face value approximates fair value at June 30, 2019.

Under the Credit Facility, the Fund has agreed to certain covenants and additional investment limitations while the leverage is outstanding. The Fund agrees to maintain asset coverage of three times over outstanding borrowings.

The Fund utilizes the Credit Facility to increase its assets available for investment. When the Fund leverages its assets, common shareholders bear the fees associated with the Credit Facility and have the potential to benefit from or be disadvantaged by the use of leverage. The investment advisory fee is also increased in dollar terms from the use of leverage. Consequently, the Fund and the Adviser may have differing interest in determining whether to leverage the Fund’s assets. Leverage creates risks that may adversely affect the return for the holders of common shares, including:

•

the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of common shares;

•

fluctuations in the interest rate paid for the use of the credit facility;

•

increased operating costs, which may reduce the Fund’s total return;

•

the potential for a decline in the value of an investment acquired through leverage, while the Fund’s obligations under such leverage remains fixed; and

•

the Fund is more likely to have to sell securities in a volatile market in order to meet asset coverage or other debt compliance requirements.

To the extent the income or capital appreciation derived from securities purchased with funds received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Fund’s return will be greater than if leverage had not been used; conversely, returns would be lower if the cost of the leverage exceeds the income or capital appreciation derived.

In addition to the risks created by the Fund’s use of leverage, the Fund is subject to the risk that it would be unable to timely, or at all, obtain replacement financing if the Credit Facility is terminated. Were this to happen, the Fund would be required to de-leverage, selling securities at a potentially inopportune time and incurring tax consequences. Further, the Fund’s ability to generate income from the use of leverage would be adversely affected.

5. MANAGEMENT FEES, ADMINISTRATIVE FEES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

The Adviser manages the Fund’s investment operations in accordance with the investment objectives and related policies of the Fund, as well as administers the business and affairs of the Fund.

The Fund pays the Adviser as compensation under an advisory agreement an annual fee in the amount of 0.80% of average daily Managed Assets.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)June 30, 2019

5. MANAGEMENT FEES, ADMINISTRATIVE FEES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS (concluded)

The Adviser has agreed to limit, indefinitely, certain specified expenses (including investor relations/investor support servicing fees, treasury function expenses, compliance fees, professional fees, third-party fund administration and accounting fees, printing and mailing expenses, listing fees, fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and other expenses) (“Specified Expenses”) borne by the Fund to an amount not to exceed 0.25% per year (the “Expense Cap”) of the Fund’s Managed Assets. The Expense Cap will be measured on an annual basis, based on the Fund’s Managed Assets on December 31st of each year. In any year the Specified Expenses exceed the Expense Cap, the Adviser will promptly reimburse the Fund to eliminate such excess. The Adviser will not seek reimbursement for any amounts paid to the Fund under this agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the expenses exceeding the Expense Cap to be reimbursed by the Adviser amounted to $124,321 and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.

As of June 30, 2019, the Fund has a receivable from the Adviser of $128,832 on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities for estimated expenses in excess of the Expense Cap.

The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund’s administrator, accounting agent and custodian, holds the Fund’s assets, will settle all portfolio trades and will be responsible for calculating the Fund’s net asset value and maintaining the accounting records of the Fund.

American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC is the Fund’s transfer agent, registrar, dividend disbursing agent and shareholder servicing agent, as well as the agent for the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan.

The Fund pays every independent trustee a fee of $17,000 per annum, plus $3,000 per in person meeting and $500 per substantive conference call for serving as a trustee of the Fund. In addition, the Fund pays members of the Audit Committee a fee of $2,000 per annum and members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee a fee of $1,000 per annum. Interested trustees and officers of the Fund do not receive any remuneration from the Fund.

6. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, purchases and sales of investments, other than purchases and sales of money market investments, were $34,747,639 and $34,684,603 respectively.

7. CAPITAL

The following is a summary of share transactions for the six month ended June 30, 2019:

	Shares of common stock, beginning of period					7,418,990
	Change in shares of common stock outstanding					—
	Shares of common stock, end of period					7,418,990

8. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

The Fund is required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by the Fund as tax expense in the Statement of Operations if the tax positions were deemed to not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. For the six month period ended June 30, 2019, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties. As of June 30, 2019, the Advisor has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no other impact to the Fund’s net assets or results of operations. Tax years ended December 31, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 will remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. On an ongoing basis, the Advisor will monitor its tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THL Credit Senior Loan Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)June 30, 2019

8. INCOME TAX INFORMATION (concluded)

The Fund distinguishes between dividends on a tax basis and on a financial reporting basis and only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial statements as a tax return of capital. Differences in the recognition or classification of income between the financial statements and tax earnings and profits which result in temporary over-distributions for financial statement purposes are classified as distributions in excess of net investment income or accumulated net realized losses in the components of net assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The amounts and characteristics of tax basis distributions and composition of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) are finalized at the fiscal year end; accordingly, tax basis balances have not been determined as of June 30, 2019.

As determined at December 31, 2018, certain permanent differences between financial and tax accounting were reclassified. These differences were primarily due to the differing tax treatment of certain investments and the payment of excise taxes. The amounts reclassified did not affect net assets. The reclassifications decreased accumulated net realized loss on investments by $540,915, decreased accumulated net investment income by $523,157, and decreased paid-in-capital by $17,758.

The tax character of distributions paid by the Fund during the fiscal years ended December 31, are as follows:

	Ordinary Income			Long-Term Capital Gain
2017		$	9,080,482		$	—
2018		$	8,583,771		$	—

As of December 31, 2018 the Fund had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from security transactions for Federal income tax purposes as shown in the table below. This amount may be used to offset realized capital gains if any, for an unlimited time.

	Short-Term			Long-Term			Total
	$ —			$4,069,575			$4,069,575

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The Fund does not have capital losses with no expiration.

Certain capital and qualified late year losses incurred after October 31, and within the current taxable year, are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s following taxable year. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund did not incur such losses.

At December 31, 2018, the tax components of net assets was as follows:

	Undistributed Net Investment Income			Accumulated Net Realized Loss on Investments			Net Unrealized Depreciation on Investments
	$854,794			$4,069,575			$9,830,965

At June 30, 2019, the cost basis of portfolio securities for federal income tax purposes is $188,423,384. Gross unrealized appreciation is $687,690, gross unrealized depreciation is $7,688,572 and net unrealized depreciation is $7,000,882. There is no difference between book and tax cost basis.

9. DELAYED DRAW LOAN COMMITMENTS

As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments outstanding, which could be extended at the option of the borrower:

Loan	Principal Amount			Cost			Value			Net Unrealized Depreciation
Charming Charlie LLC, Second Amendment Delayed Draw Term Loan – First Lien		$	129,689		$	129,689		$	129,689		$	—
Charming Charlie LLC, Vendor Payment Financing Facility – First Lien			152,575			152,575			152,575			—
Heartland Dental LLC, Delayed Draw Term Loan – First Lien			24,457			24,334			23,234			1,100

Delayed draw loan commitments are marked to market on the relevant day of the valuation in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policy. Any related unrealized depreciation on unfunded delayed draw loan commitments is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statements of Operations.

10. SHAREHOLDER CONCENTRATIONS

As of June 30, 2019, based on public filings and/or information provided by such person, the following shareholder owns more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund:

Shareholder			Percent of Ownership
Advisors Asset Management Inc.					18.0%

The Fund’s market price may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors, financial intermediaries and other investors purchase or sell a large number of shares of the Fund. While such large shareholder transactions would not impact the Fund’s liquidity or market value of the Fund’s investments, such transactions could have an impact on the Fund’s market price and also impact the premium or discount of the market price to its NAV in a more volatile manner than trading by shareholders with smaller holdings.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing these financial statements, the Fund’s management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

On July 31, 2019, the Fund paid a regularly scheduled distribution in the amount of $0.101 per share to shareholders of record as of July 17, 2019.

The Fund declared a regularly scheduled distribution in the amount of $0.101 per share payable on August 30, 2019 to shareholders of record as of August 16, 2019.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“Plan”) for THL Credit Senior Loan Fund (“Fund”), provides that a holder of the Fund’s common shares of beneficial interest (each, a “Common Share” and, collectively “Common Shares”) will be automatically enrolled in the Plan (each, a “Participant” and collectively, “Participants”). All dividends and distributions on such Shareholder’s Common Shares will be reinvested by American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC (“Plan Administrator”), as agent for Shareholders in administering the Plan, in additional Common Shares. Participation in the Plan may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record rate; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may re-invest that cash in additional Common Shares for you. If you wish for all dividends declared on your Common Shares to be paid in cash, please contact your broker.

Plan Details

The Plan Administrator will open an account for each holder of Common Shares under the Plan in the same name in which such holder of Common Shares is registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or other distribution (together, a “Dividend”) payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in Common Shares. The Common Shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized Common Shares from the Fund (“Newly Issued Common Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding Common Shares on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (continued)

If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price plus estimated per share fees (which include any brokerage commissions the Plan Administrator is required to pay) is equal to or greater than the net asset value (“NAV”) per Common Share, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares on behalf of the participants. The number of Newly Issued Common Shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the NAV per Common Share on the payment date; provided that, if the NAV is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market value on the payment date, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per Common Share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the NAV per Common Share is greater than the closing market value plus per share fees, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired on behalf of the participants in Open-Market Purchases. In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any Dividend, the Plan Administrator will have until the last business day before the next date on which the Common Shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such Dividend, whichever is sooner (the “Last Purchase Date”), to invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired in Open-Market Purchases. It is contemplated that the Fund will pay monthly income Dividends. Therefore, the period during which Open-Market Purchases can be made will exist only from the payment date of each Dividend through the date before the next “ex-dividend” date which typically will be approximately ten days. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its Open-Market Purchases, the market price per Common Share exceeds the NAV per Common Share, the average per Common Share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the NAV of the Common Shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer Common Shares than if the Dividend had been paid in Newly Issued Common Shares on the Dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to Open-Market Purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full Dividend amount in Open-Market Purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making Open-Market Purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares at the NAV per Common Share at the close of business on the Last Purchase Date provided that, if the NAV is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per Common Share; the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date.

The Plan Administrator maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common Shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.

In the case of shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Common Shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

There will be no charges with respect to Common Shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a per share fee incurred in connection with Open-Market Purchases. The automatic reinvestment of Dividends will not relieve participants of any Federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. Participants that request a sale of shares through the Plan Administrator are subject to a $15.00 sales fee and a $0.10 per Common Share sold. All per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Plan Administrator is required to pay.
