Mr. Michael C. Mauer, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, said "During the quarter we saw many developments in our portfolio. Several investments have continued to show improvement in this COVID environment, some have been significantly monetized or repaid over the past several quarters and two of our investments, 1888 Industrial Services, LLC and American Teleconferencing Services, Ltd. (d/b/a Premiere Global Services, Inc.), have experienced significant declines in value. At this point we believe the portfolio is positioned for further recovery over the next 6-18 months. We are now focused on portfolio rotation and managing the leverage on the portfolio."
The Company's dividend framework provides a quarterly base dividend and may be supplemented (when available) by additional dividends determined by the net investment income during the quarter.

The tax status of distributions will be determined at the end of the taxable year.

On August 23, 2021, the Company, through a wholly-owned special purpose vehicle, entered into a 5-year, $115 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "New Revolving Financing") with Capital One, N.A. ("Capital One"), which is secured by collateral consisting primarily of loans in the Company's investment portfolio. The New Revolving Financing, which will expire on August 22, 2026 (the "Maturity Date"), features a 3-year reinvestment period and a 2-year amortization period.
Borrowings under the New Revolving Financing will generally bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.35%. Default interest rate will be equal to the interest rate then in effect plus 2.00%. The New Revolving Financing requires the payment of (A) an upfront fee of 1.125% of the New Revolving Financing at the closing, and (B) an unused fee of (i) 0.75% annually for any undrawn amounts below 50% of the New Revolving Financing, (ii) 0.50% annually for any undrawn amounts between 50% and 75% of the New Revolving Financing, and (iii) 0.25% annually for any undrawn amounts above 75% of the New Revolving Financing. Borrowings under the New Revolving Financing are based on a borrowing base. The New Revolving Financing generally requires payment of interest and fees on a quarterly basis. All outstanding principal is due on the Maturity Date. The New Revolving Financing also requires mandatory prepayment of interest and principal upon certain events.

The Company and its external auditors have not completed their normal closing and related audit procedures.
